    Thoughts on this WC draft?

    Dubravka Turner
    TAA Porro Gabriel Brantwaithe Baldock
    Son Saka Rich Bowen Garnacho
    Haaland Watkins Solanke

    0.7 itb for Son to KdB gw21

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Kdb is a transfer waiting to happen

    2. Tonyawesome69

      Not sure that's the best GK combo for upcoming fixtures. Don't like booking transfer straight after WC.

      1. Phlajo
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        It's definitely not the best GK combo, but it's what I can afford if I want to go Son -> KdB 🙂

      Looks pretty solid. Yes you could have better keepers but as long as you accept you might need to do a gk transfer later then its OK for now.
      Not sure I'd want to be without salah against that Newcastle defence though.

      1. Phlajo
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yep could hurt. But I think I like Son home vs Bournemouth just as much as Salah vs Newcastle

  2. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Best team while Salah and Son are away?

    Martinez
    TAA Porro Gabriel
    Saka Bowen Gordon Palmer
    Haaland Watkins Solanke
    Turner Garnacho Trippier Taylor

      No, places to upgrade. Wouldn't even WC to that bunch.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Leaves 3.5m ITB, only player in the game I can't get to with 1FT is Salah.

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Where could he possibly upgrade anything there? That is the template team minus son and Salah

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Using RMT here or elsewhere, there are better combos.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't take any Newcastle for a start

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Already have Trippier, no point selling unnecessarily

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I like it - I am personally not selling Son or Salah throughout their international duty but this is good

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Cheers, I'll get one of them back for sure

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't' treat Gordon as a part of the starting XI

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Don't see why you would have any Newcastle players when you look at their upcoming fixtures

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Not gonna sell them for hits

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Question was poorly presented then

    6. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Would have KDB here

  3. Nate(U)dog(ie)

    Didn't see Newcastle v Forest yesterday but curious about Wood, were Newcastle awful defensively or were Forest good to catch them out and get the ball to Wood? Jimenez and Traore had a good relationship and did well at Wolves under Nuno, wondering if something similar could brew with Wood and Elanga. I'm undecided on a 3rd striker but keeping it cheap would make getting Son and Salah back a lot easier, and I think I'd be happy to have him as a rotational option in upcoming weeks looking at the fixtures

    1. Chris_l25
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      All three goals were quick and direct on the break pretty much

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      He played well. A true professional with more skill than he is given credit for.

    Crazy how we don't have a reliable Haaland update. City play in a matter of hours.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Crazy how the deadline has passed.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Not really. That happens without incident 38 times a season.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Haaland isn't injured/rested that often.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            So you're expecting him to play?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              Obviously not. More interested in next GW news. If he plays, those that held deserve something.

                Do you know why this morning's article is late? As a mod, can you log in behind the scenes and see what time it is due to be published on the site?

                  It's out now. You'll be very interested.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      What is the point of an update, he'll either be on the pitch or not before the day is done and the deadline is long gone

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        All our plans hinge on his fitness. That's why we're so eager for fresh information.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          And you're guaranteed to have some in a few hours

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Said it yesterday, but imo, since no ITKs twitter accounts have hinted or said anything about him, I think it should be safe to assume he's not back yet.

      But that's just what I think.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        BBC football say he is unlikely to be available https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67768993

        So strange how MEN have nothing concrete thou. They seem to be hinting he'll be on the bench.

  5. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Reluctant to getting rid of Salah for Haaland this week. Apart from that, maybe keep FT? Thoughts on Bailey vs Palmer?

    Martinez
    TAA/Porro/Gabriel
    Salah/Son/Saka/Bailey
    Watkins/Alvarez/Solanke

    Turner/Palmer/Taylor/Lamptey

    1. Chris_l25
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Palmer minutes seem more secure and he's on penalties (unless Nkunku nicks them off him now)

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Valid points, I would just expect Bailey to have easier matchup?

  6. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    KDB a viable solution to the Salah / Son dilemma? I'm tempted but at the same time it's a risk given how long he's been out, I think he might only get 45 mins here and there

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      See if he's fit for the bench tonight but I'm doubtful. Even if he got onto the bench tonight and again at the weekend I wouldn't be confident of how many starts he'd have in the next 3-4 PL games

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      After the length of time he has been out and after the criticism of playing him at the start of the season when the risk of injury was high, I think it'll be 4 or 5 games before he is starting regularly.

    3. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'd rather have a punt on Odegaard to be honest.

      Fulham, Palace, Forest and Burnley in next 6 games.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Need a few games undee his belt before I go there which will be closer to potential double in 25

    Thoughts on WC draft?

    Raya Areola
    Gab Branth Pau Walker Udogie
    Saka Son Bailey Palmer Bowen
    Haaland Solankie Watkins

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Too template.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Very similar to what I'm looking at.

      Prefer Ode to Saka (I think)...
      Maybe Nkunku over Solanke or Watkins as a punt...
      Trent a must aswell.

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      You could at least go Ode over Saka, some punt over Bailey, wouldn't go Udogie personally

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Would look to get Porro, instead of Udogie

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    RMWCT 🙂

    Raya Dubravka
    TAA Porro Saliba Gusto Branth
    Son Ode Bowen Palmer Garnacho
    Nkunku Haaland Solanke

    Moneyt itb for Son to KDB?... Gross is also tempting

  9. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Even if Haaland was fit to play, I wouldn't expect ManCity to be fully up to speed. They were celebrating and travelling a lot.

  10. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Unsure what to do. Current team:

    Areola
    TAA, Porro, Andersen, Trippier, Udogie
    Salah, Saka, Bowen
    Watkins, Solanke

    (Dubravka, Gordon, Archer, Palmer) 1FT £4.9m

    Original plan was A. Not sure, with Toon's recent form & Haaland 50% injury. Don't really want to lose Solanke, although could get back when Salah goes

    a) Salah, Archer > Richy, Haaland
    b) Trippier, Solanke > Branthwaite/Konsa/4.6, Haaland
    c) just ditch Trippier
    d) hold, do A next week

    Suppose it depends on Haaland's fitness. FOMO of a fit Haaland v Sheffield Utd though

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Wait for tonight... Picture will be much clearer. Palmer back next week no? I'd be tempted to save tbh

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yep, obvs won't be making transfers yet. Cheers on Palmer, forgot his suspension is for GW19 😀

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Don't really get playing Udogie or Andersen over Palmer

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Ah, thought he was suspended. Yep, he'll definitely be in the team. Looks a bit better now

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Other than Palmer not being suspended and general common sense on not doing transfers early. Anyone have any thoughts?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Haaland or hold

  11. Supernintendo Chalmers
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    kinda pissed off that I've left my WC till now since a total overhaul isn't really needed right now..
    Probably could have done salah + alvarez to Haaland and bowen and been happy with that...

    Dubravka, turner
    saliba, gabriel, trent, colwill, tripp
    son, saka, salah, palmer, fodder
    alvarez, watkins, solanke

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just grab some differentials and jump on fixture swings. Shed Newcastle assets, get 3x Arsenal, 3x city, Jota etc.

    Hold that. Massive 0.1% green arrow.
