    Probably worst FPL game of the season. At least they both have something to play for, so could be a good game.

      I wish I had Branthwaite coming off my bench, I reckon he’s getting a cleanie and BAPs tonight.

    2. Here is Cash, give McGinn

      Branthwaite only 6% EO
      I like my chances to get into top 30k

      I can confirm that it isn’t zzzzzzzzzzzz

    Hendo dropped for Johnstone, so a swift change to the FFS bus team, then...

    1. Nomar

      Leave Palace defenders well alone…

      1. Ze_Austin

        Absolutely. Just pointing out the Scout Picks issue there 😀

    If unsure on fh29 and have 2 FTs is it best to use just 1 transfer this week and have 2 FT next week?thanks

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ideally yes as well get confirmation on all GW29 fixtures by 27 deadline

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        We will*

      2. Stranger Mings

        Nice one

      Branth here - good luck!

  5. Viper
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I can get to this for one -4 hit in Gw29. I'd wildcard in 31

    Areola

    Doughty Moreno Porro Taylor

    Son Richarlison Bailey Barkley

    Watkins Toney

    I think that pretty much covers the bases?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Seems fine assuming only 4 fixtures go ahead in 29

  6. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Jota anywhere near a drop tonight?

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He must be on a drip with that Injury

  7. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is Maguire nailed? Seems good value, ManU have been improving

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Should be fine with Martinez out

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I dunno about that, Jonny Evans was absolutely class when he came on at HT.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          ...and Maguire was subbed off for performance/YC reasons. Not the most glowing review from EtH, that

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I thought it was primarily due to the booking. I guess we will see if Evans gets the nod over Maguire.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              He took a bit of a knock before halftime as well so could have been related to that as well

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 7 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                Didn't notice a knock. Thanks for this

                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  Just had a Google for what Ten Hag said - it was solely the yellow card and his fear the ref would reach for a red, quoting the "good replacements" he had available to do it

                  1. Ze_Austin
                    • 7 Years
                    1 year, 10 months ago

                    Noted. Thanks 🙂

            2. _Greg
              • 15 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              It was, but Maguire did do a dodgy pass and Evans was vastly superior when coming on. I'd expect Evans to start the next game.

        2. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Evans won't play week in week out. But there is arguably a risk to Maguire's minutes with Lindleof and Evans both waiting in the wings.

          He's first choice I think (in the absence of Martinez) just not nailed.

          1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Thanks!

    Oh double wow, is it really the case that both doubles in dgw involving Man City and Liverpool aren't even going to be aired on the usual UK subscription channels.

    Well, that's a kick in the teeth for a few on these shores.

    Damp squib dgw?!

    Or not, may it breathe some fire...

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Just the awful state of televised games in the UK. Pay for 3 different subscriptions and you don't even get to watch the lot!

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        There are alternatives.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Stick it to them

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        It's mad.

        They must have given up the slot earlier, unless these fixtures were never slated for TV.

        I understand the clash with the Arsenal champions league game on Wednesday in Porto

        ... but the TV blank with Man City v Brentford is a glaring OG for the Premier League TV contract.

    On the Premier League site - Fantasy - Transfers

    Does anyone know how many games the player 'form' factor is based on?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Form is a player’s average score per match, calculated from all matches played by his club in the last 30 days.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yep, that's the definitive answer alright. Eventually found it on the PL site.

        https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help#:~:text=Form%20is%20a%20player's%20average,in%20the%20last%2030%20days.

        Thanks for the response.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I know it's the definitive answer, I literally copied and pasted it word for word from the PL site 😀

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            🙂

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      6 I think...

      Possibly 4 but it depends if they came back from injury too, then it's fewer games as played.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I also thought it was based on games played, but see BIGGSY's resonse above, it's actually based on a rolling 30-day period.

        https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help#:~:text=Form%20is%20a%20player's%20average,in%20the%20last%2030%20days.

          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yeah

          That makes sense

          I had looked before but couldn't recall.

          Hence thinking it was 4 - 6 but games dependent.

          30 days makes sense.

    Hey guys, I just need a second opinion on the below team please:

    Dubravka

    Gabriel Reguilon Trippier

    Foden Richarlison Jota KDB

    Haaland Watkins Darwin

    Areola Porro Kabore Anderson

    £0.1 itb 1ft

    1. Jota and Darwin to Saka and Solanke for -4 (gotta wait for Jota's price to drop, hopefully be soon)

    2. Jota and KDB to Saka and Odegaard for -4

    3. Same as above but get in Garnacho instead of Odegaard

    4. Other

    5. Save

    Thanks guys!!!!!!

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      The two injured guys with blanks, for two form guys who play

      1

      Why do you need Jota to drop for you to *sell* him?

      1. grooveymatt65
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        doesn't matter I messed the maths up haha

        Might do Jota to Saka and Richarlison to Hwang for a hit tbf

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I don't get why you'd want to sell KDB right now.

      I agree with ZE above - Option 1

      Why do you need Jota to drop?

    Do we know if Adebayo is expected to be back on Wednesday?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I fully expect him back.

      But that's because he'll block my Watkins auto-sub...

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        In all seriousness, Edwards has a presser tomorrow so suspect that'll be when we know more

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      https://x.com/BenDinnery/status/1759518901463896080?s=20

      Rob Edwards confirms the absence of Elijah Adebayo, after being named in the XI, was due to injury. 'He was feeling his hamstring [during the warm-up]. I don’t know at the moment with regards to Wednesday, but it gave Cauley [Woodrow] an opportunity, and I thought he stepped up very, very well.'

    3. Dubem_FC
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I need him to.

  12. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) jota to hwang B) jota to neto
    C) jota to Luiz or BaileyD) Darwen to hojlund. Thanks

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Hwang

      1. Stranger Mings

      2. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I'd say Neto

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Impossible to chose between neto & hwang

      3. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I'm going Darwin to Hojland

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Holjund great form but guess difficult gw27

  13. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best Pick?
    A) Reguilon
    B) Pau
    C) Moreno

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm keeping my eye on Reguilon

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Regulion looked good to me.

    2. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C, the one I own

  14. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I can't believe I'm asking this...but....is Maguire nailed?

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Scroll up a little, what a hot topic

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Hard to tell if someone who's just been subbed off at half-time is nailed. See Estupinan recently

      I'd stay away for now. Consider Van Hecke at that price

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Agreed.

      2. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        What's your take on the Perv Ze? Lost De Zerbi's favour or just a bit of rotation while Lamptey is fit?

        Need him to play in the next 3

        1. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I'm starting Estupinian next game but on the block.

          1. Fellaini's Fro
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Yeah, with Son and Solanke booked in it will need a hit to get rid.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Looks out of favour to me

          RdZ played Gross at RB and Lamptey at LB just to keep Estupinan out of his XI. Consider this: Gross is naturally a midfielder, and Lamptey is naturally a right-back

          I sold Estupinan for Van Hecke after he was subbed off at half-time and then benched, then I thought I'd made a mistake when Hinshelwood was announced out for months (leading to a full Estupinan match vs Spurs)... But nope, Estupinan's still benched right after

          I'd run away if I had him now

          1. _Greg
            • 15 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I want to take him out, but not for a -4. Defenders barely get points anyway. Next season i will strongly consider 4.5m 4.5m 4m 4m 4m from the off if its feasible.

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Haha! Yeah, not for a hit in a blank GW. Makes sense

              1. _Greg
                • 15 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                aye aye

          2. Fellaini's Fro
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Cheers, very surprising but yeah that makes sense. Wonder what De Zerbi's up to.

  15. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hoping for positive Darwin news tomorrow. He's my captain!

  16. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Amusingly there's 0% game chatter on here tonight, either nothing's happened or nobody's bothered to watch! :mrgreen:

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm watching, but I'd rather be here

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        haha.

    2. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I've been impressed with Pickford's long balls today
      Might get an assist at some point this season

  17. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which one?

    A)Nunez->Watkins
    B)Jota->Saka
    C)Jota->D.Luiz

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      probably deal with Jota first I guess, seeing as he's the most injured.

      Has to be B for me.

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers.Do you prefer Saka against Newcastle or Watkins against Nottingham?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          The thing is, Darwin will probably be back to face the same Forest in GW27... Jota has to go, so that changes priorities

          1. Old Wulfrunian
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            My problem is that if i get Saka now i can't get both Watkins+Solanke in gw28.No money.

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              That still doesn't make D. Luiz a good alternative to Saka, so I'd just keep Darwin over Watkins here

              Maybe Hwang or Neto instead of Luiz, if you prefer Watkins to Saka?

        2. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I did both A and B this week, but bus captain currently on Saka.

          1. Old Wulfrunian
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            No money to do a+b...

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

      1. Old Wulfrunian

        cheers

    3. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years

      A+b

  18. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Areola.
    Gabriel, Maguire, Trippier, Beyer.
    Foden, Saka, KDB, Garnacho.
    Watkins, Haaland.
    Dubravka, Palmer, Darwin, Porro.
    1ft 0.6m ITB.

    Which would you choose here-
    1. Porro out-> Ait Nouri (1.6m) /Saliba in (0.4m) (Which one).
    2. Beyer out > AIt Nouri in. Leaves 0.1m ITB.
    3. Nunez out- Solanke in. Leaves 1.2m ITB
    4. Something else..

  19. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Estupiñian > Dalot, Senesi or someone else?

    Trippier Saliba, Gabriel and Porro my other defenders.

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Would just go for Van Hecke and bank the cash.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Roll with him this week (accept the 1 point), then Senesi in GW27

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah he plays this week for sure. Alvarez > Solanke 27 and Estupiñian > Senesi 28.

        True probably just worth rolling in that regard.

    Branthwaite's gonna outscore likes of VVD, Bradley and Ake isn't he! Looks like a nailed CS

      Had Taylor and Branthwaite all way until my first WC in 17. Everton good to have as 4th 5th defender really for fixtures like this. I think their fixtures are decent come the end of the season.

      This did seem fairly likely in the run up to the game

    Lerma's space-flight of a shot wastes a good Palace move

        Haha!

        To be fair, there was a goal-line clearance by Young a few minutes ago, from a Palace corner

        Game's waking up

          The closest we have come to scoring from a corner all season 😀

          Ugh, saw 2 SoT for Palace and thought a Pickford save point was on the cards

    A little vote on my Jota replacement:
    A Neto
    B Hwang

    1. romperstomper
      • 16 Years

      I'm doing hwang

    2. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B Scores more.

      1. AARON-1
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I prefer Hwang, too.

    Neither team have a plan for what to do when they have the ball

  24. Kaneyonero

    I thought in Football you put the ball in the back of net?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Well Kane has stopped doing that

    Went Maguire over Branthwaite last minute. Another GW regret

      Is your cross fit machine constructed from genuine medieval components?

        It sure is, with CrossFit I am the machine! Huzzah!

    Is Branthwaite nailed?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      super nailed

    Commentator summed it up perfectly ‘if I’m honest this isn’t a very good match. Really lacking quality’. Execrable I yelled at him, execrable is the word you want. At least we have Michael Owen’s analysis at half time.

      For a team to win this, it cant stay a draw

        If the deadlock is to be broken, somebody will have to score.

          A shot on target from the home side might help them?

      And for the UK brethren this is the Premier League game of the next 3 officially on the TV.

        Tbh

        I don't mind Everton v Palace and not everyone is into FPL

        Plus global audiences all get to watch the soccer.

        Those in the UK deciding if they should go to Ireland, France, Netherlands or Spain ...

        Or their neighbours with a fire stick?

    If no one has scored by 90, they should just keep adding an additional ball every minute until someone scores.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Other options are
      Three legged game or
      Blindfold or remove the goalkeepers

      1. have you seen cyan

        yea or the goals are on motors and slowly increase in size until someone like Darwin can score consistently.

          The goals would end up being as big as the home & away ends !

    I think that might have been a shot?
