    1 year, 3 months ago

    Thinking about doing Winks and Bruno to ESR and Rogers for free. Would give me the following:

    Raya
    TAA Gvardiol Konsa
    Salah(c) MGW ESR Rogers Palmer
    Isak Muniz

    Bench: Turner Pedro Hall Johnson
    4.5m ITB

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Light midfield. I would have some high owned premium mid just to avoid rank loss

      1. InsertPunHere
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Does Palmer not count?

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Quite easy to get to with 4.5m ITB. I don’t see anyone I fancy next week tbh. Maybe Saka.

      3. jammie26
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Looks a strong midfield to me.

  2. Wet Bandits
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Are we looking at Chelsea for the next 5 weeks? Palmer a must?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

      What? No thanks

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      only when maresca shows he can use him effectively. right now the jury is out

  3. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Best £4.5 Defender to replace Castagne.

    Current defenders: TAA, Gabriel, Pau, Harwood-Bellis

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      The one that rotates best with the other 4.5 def

    2. Matr1xOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Konsa?

    3. PogChamp

      Aina?

    4. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years

      Robinson?

    5. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

      I did Robinson about an hour ago…

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Glad that I started with him. Should have had Rogers instead of 4.5 Sangare + 0.5 itb though.

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

    Thoughts on saving FT and getting both Mitoma/Pedro/Welbeck and Rogers for free before GW4?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I don't like Bri fixtures after gw5

  5. Matr1xOne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Savio or Mitoma? Or other 6.5 I am overlooking?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years

      Szoboszlai

      1. Matr1xOne

        Not convinced

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          6.5m and playing as a 10 in Liverpool, let's see tomorrow with another game of data

          1. Matr1xOne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years

            Looks like he's not playing.

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Who wins:

    A) Salah + 26 points
    B) Salah(c) + TAA + Palmer + TC

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years

      What is this meant to mean?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Essentially, can I make up 26 points with the players listed under B?

        1. InsertPunHere
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Who is TC?

            • 11 Years

            Ah sorry. It’s my TC chip which is intact

            1. Skalla
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 3 months ago

              Will also need to know who you are using the TC chip on and when to have any chance of predicting that

              1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
                • 11 Years
                1 year, 3 months ago

                In a future DGW. But forget the TC. Any chance of making up that ground this GW?

                1. Skalla
                  • 9 Years
                  1 year, 3 months ago

                  Yeah with a Salah brace , TAA CS and Palmer goal you match it but I don't own any of them so hope the 26pts win 🙂

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      B

    3. Sun God Nika

      What a odd question

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        With out the tc

        Yes you could make that up

    4. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      You're basically saying can Salah, TAA and Palmer get more than 26 points?

  7. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    What to do with solanke who is about to drop in price. Keeping until he s fit, take the loss and sell later on during the week to be cautious or sell tonight ??? Cheers.

    1. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I’d sell… I hate missing rises and taking drops. Every penny counts

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        budget feels even more important than other years especially as haaland and salah are both pretty much essential. I hate early transfers though but will sell tonight I think for Wissa.

        1. Skalla
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Budget is important but always more important to get the players you want , been burned plenty of times chasing price rises and drops, so all good doing it tonight if you want Wissa but still risky with him only playing tomorrow

        2. Bennerman
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Why is budget more important this year?

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Tough call really depends who you want to replace him with, for me it is Watkins so prob waiting until both drop this week. Holding him is an option but will prob drop again during the IB

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        cheers skalla.

  8. Wet Bandits
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is Pedro - welbeck a ridiculous sideways move?

    Is Bruno - Mitoma a good move (have Pedro)

    Price rises has sparked the questions

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Pedro - Welbeck seems like a very silly transfer to me.

    2. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Bruno & Winks - Mitoma & Nkunku/Rogers?

  9. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I think we have found this years Palmer.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Who is that ?

    2. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Rogers?

    3. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Saka?

    4. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Palmer?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Correct answer. He is clearly underpriced.

  10. Joyce1998
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I guess going without Haaland + Salah was a bad idea lol. only took one gw lol

    1. Caravagio
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Easy in hindsight. Sure last season the big guns were mis firing abit to begin with.

    2. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Fortune favours the brave!

      (Unless you leave out Haaland and/or Salah of course)

    3. F4L
      • 10 Years

      its tough going. gotta get your captain right

    4. lugs
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I have neither, ngl I was dreading the damage Haaland would do today, it went as expected but Son(c) made it not so bad 🙂

      1. Bennerman
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        So gallant that you didn't lie – and you weren't even going to anyway!

    5. _Make
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Don't beat yourself up about it now.

      Salah is yet to play.

  11. Ballzit
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    KDB and Isak out for Haaland and Rogers for -4?

    Price rise tonight would kill off this combo. I want to play 5 mids most of the time. Saka-Jota-Eze-Minteh-Rogers would be the new 5. Part of me wants to stick with KDB cuz it’s just fun to have him and almost all their attack went through him today.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      If you don't have Salah, Y imo.

    2. Matr1xOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Kdb looked good today

      1. Ballzit
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I thought so

  12. Mother Farke
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Evening everyone. Just wondering how do I "fix" the following with 2 FT?

    Sanchez (4.0)
    TAA Lewis Robinson (Livramento Greaves)
    Saka Jota Doku Eze (ESR)
    Haaland Havertz Muniz

    1.5m ITB

    I favoured Muniz over ESR this week because "he's the forward." 🙁

    i feel like Doku has to go first due to rotation fears?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Just Doku to Rogers imo

      1. Matr1xOne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Doku, overrated one foot, no end product

        1. Mother Farke
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Was very unfortunate not to assist Lewis today (hit the bar) but yeah, I'm inclined to agree for the most part.

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      if gordon looks really sharp tomorrow he would be a good option to replace doku imo. but thats a nice team

  13. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is Toney totally out of the picture? I am about to do Solanke to wissa. Cheers.

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Toney is still in the picture for now but prob won't start until the transfer window shuts and he somehow stays at Brentford

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Don't bet on it

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wild right. What if he goes and scores 2 goals

      2. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Slight worry about ESR rise, otherwise would just leave decisions till tomorrow. Probably won't rise tonight though.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          ESR isn't essential. He had 1 shot on target

  16. united12345
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Appreciate any advice on the below 2 q’s

    1) is welbeck in reactionary (looking for solanke replacements… not really convinced by anyone leaning to wissa)
    2) how did ESR play? Pass the eye test or just grabbed a goal?

  17. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    So is Rogers the better pick over Watkins for the good Villa fixtures coming up?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Rogers should be in every team since the start anyway

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Better value but Watkins should still score more points so all depends on your combos,will prob go with both myself

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I had Rogers from the start. Love watching him play but not convinced yet he’ll get big returns. Good benchable fifth mid, not a replacement for Watkins

      1. Bennerman

    What are Solanke owners doing? What would you do here?

    A) Sell for Muniz for free tonight
    B) Sell for Joao Pedro for free tonight
    C) Take price drop

      If I could go straight to Watkins I would do it.

      Wissa is fine depending on your plan after Gw3 and your squad to cover. Brentford have tough fixtures after Gw3

  20. Old Gregg

    Bruno + Solanke > Rogers + Watkins (-4)

    Worth it? Or rode out the price drop?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Head says no but it feels fun

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Doing the same transfer but waiting for Watkins to drop too so will have more info after tomorrow's games, might want to keep Bruno instead if Jota/Diaz/Mbuemo etc gets injured

    Caught this yesterday - but Fulham will sign another forward, says Silva.

    https://hammyend.com/index.php/2024/08/fulham-will-sign-another-forward-says-silva/

    -------------------

    Marco Silva says that Fulham will sign another forward before the end of the transfer window.

    The Portuguese head coach told his pre-match press conference this afternoon that he wants to replace the goal threat provided by Willian and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, who left the club earlier this summer.

    Silva said:

    “We are going to sign a forward player, for sure. You all know that we have lost two wingers and we haven’t signed any players for that position. We are going to sign a forward player.”

    -------------------

    The wording of that comment does indicate that he's focusing on a winger rather than a centre forward but it's one thing to keep an eye on.

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Sterling with Chelsea picking up half his wage maybe.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I've never loved Sterling at Chelsea but can they take Mudryk instead?

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Two for one transfer deadline special. Throw in one of Chelsea's many goalkeepers as well.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            ... only if we can have Leno in return.

          2. Boss Hogg
            • 16 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            Spackman, Bunstead and Micky Hazzard. None of those lads seem to get a look in at Chelsea these days so a loan might do them good.

  22. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is lewis to robinson a better move for the long term?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Would just keep playing Lewis until he doesn’t start one… seems pretty key to City right now. I wish I had him!

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        To be honest that was my plan im just thinking by the time he loses his place the decent 4.5s like robinson will have had a few price rises and i cant get them in

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Could be a few weeks away though, and you might have saved 0.5 somewhere else by then. Also, there are lots of good 4.5s this season - I doubt Robinson will end up being significantly better than the rest of them

          1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            Yes true he does look a steal for 4.5 though plenty of assists i reckon

  23. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Any chance of Watkins falling AND Solanke not falling tonight?

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Nope don't see that happening, Solanke definitely ahead of Watkins atm so either just Solanke or both or small chance they both survive...

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Wishful thinking on my part, probably.

        1. Skalla

    Prices should be locked from each GW deadline until GW is over. Makes the game fun and less speculatively lucky.

      That's how Fanteam and others work. It's far less annoying.

      Personally like it the way it is

      How does sentence two relate to sentence one?

      Sounds like you just don't want to deal with it

    Is Watkins on pens?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      It's not confirmed. I read previously Villa fans expects it's more likely to be Tielemans taking it, but we don't know yet.

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Could be but he is not that great on pens so might be better without them

    3. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years

      I think he could claim them if he pulls his head out and steps up to the elite striker level. Duran looking the better forward over the last 2

    Which is better?

    a) Gvardiol, Gordon, Isak, Eze, Muniz

    b) Haaland, Onana, J Pedro, Mitoma, 4.5 def

    Any theories or explanations what is up with Ollie Watkins?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Why what’s the issue?

      1. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        His footballs been really off over the last two,
        missed 2 big chances completed 2/6 passes against Arsenal

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Just how it goes I guess, plus he didn’t have much pre season at all, likely just lacks a bit of sharpness, he’ll be fine.

          1. Fellaini's Fro
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            Fair, Hopefully comes good with another week of training and easier fixture run ahead.

    2. Bennerman
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      You've got one, and it's pretty sophisticated.

      1. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Not sure what you mean. Thought he did great at the Euros

        1. Bennerman
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          This: "if he pulls his head out and steps up to the elite striker level"

          Seems to be the answer per you.

          1. Fellaini's Fro
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            I think if he plays better he could claim penalty taking duties.

            I don't know why he is not playing at his usual level and am putting this question out to the knowledgeable FFS community.

            Feel free to contribute your thoughts on the question or move along to a different one if you don't have any.

              I think I'm entitled, as we all are, to comment upon any points on this entire board – that is the point.
              On that basis, you're actually tying to ringfence your post, which is not how an open forum such as this works.

              My point was, I thought, fairly benign: you were asking what was 'wrong' with Watkins, having already suggested it was a mental issue.

              1. Fellaini's Fro
                • 12 Years
                1 year, 3 months ago

                I am just looking for other users opinions on Ollie and not a debate

                1. Bennerman
                  • 7 Years
                  1 year, 3 months ago

                  So I don't have to 'move along' from a free forum? thanks.

                  My opinion – I would love to get him into my team, all this early stuff is that he is just not fit yet. But my team has no spare money at all so will have to watch him score points, which I'm pretty sure he will from now on

                  1. Fellaini's Fro
                    • 12 Years
                    1 year, 3 months ago

                    Sorry if I responded defensively. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

      He didnt do much of a pre season did he?

      1. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        True, although seems Bukayo Saka doesn't need one

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Went to Euro's without playing much so lost some match fitness there then got engaged and had a long holiday so makes sense if he takes a little while to get going again

      1. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Fair enough. Ive only seen highlights but suppose he did have more chances this week than last so it could be a case of regaining sharpness.
        I'm sure many have him pencilled in for Villas good run GW3 on.

    5. Kiwivillan

      No pre season
