    Liverpool vs worse defense in the league...guaranteed 0 0 draw

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Haha, it would be peak FPL

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

        Only if Wolves score.

    3 top troll things in FPL:
    1) Pep roulette
    2) Slot casino Camelot
    3) FPL Towers making crucial price changes in the last f..king night before the deadline though those changes were being predicted throughout the week giving you an incremental hope that woudn't happen.

  4. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Played the WC, fully expecting for this week to be a write off.
    Been playing this game for long enough.

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Maybe the FPL gods will be kind this week!

  5. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Made an error with price changes, I’m now priced out.

    Originally wanted Munoz > Lewis but was unsure given my defence is strong already and whether the outlay was worth it as unsure if to play him next week (wouldn’t have this week).

    Which option?

    A) Pope > Sanchez

    B) Munoz > 4.6 or below (Greaves, Mykolenko, Collins, Colwill).

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Pope to Sanchez. Newcastle defence looks poor so far.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thank you, I actually think Pope > Sanchez is a better move than Munoz > Lewis because Lewis wouldn’t have (in theory) strengthened my starting 11.

        If it looks likely Lewis plays next week, I can do the Munoz > Lewis move. Plus Munoz has a decent fixture this week in case I need him.

        1. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Yep, sounds good.

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Pope > Sanchez
            ESR > Mbeumo
            Muniz > DCL
            Isak > Havertz

            1. Waylander
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 2 months ago

              All those moves look good. Points on the board better than banked FTs.

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 8 Years
                1 year, 2 months ago

                Of course, was originally intending to keep Isak but I can’t justify now I know he’s walking wounded and against City this week.

                I can see goals for both teams, and I still own Gordon.

  6. Johan Queef
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Apologies for such a frustrating and probably over-asked question...

    ESR vs Semenyo on WC?

    I've had ESR since the start and feel some loyalty, but have been eyeing up Semenyo for a while now.

    And...to Raya (gamble) or not to Raya (safe)?!

    Thanks!

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Semenyo is great for 2 GWs then has a horror 3 GWs. If you have a plan to get rid or bench for those 3 GWs then he's the higher upside. ESR the better longer term pick.

    2. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Oh and if you're comfortable possibly not having a GK for 1-2 GWs go Raya. If that would make you mad then get someone else and move back to Raya in GW 12 when Arsenals fixtures turn good again.

      1. Johan Queef
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thanks! I guess I'll have 8 attackers so can play DCL during the tougher weeks. Not sure I can deal with the Raya anxiety so maybe it's not a risk for me to take. Cheers for the help.

  7. kempc23
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Still cant decide whether to do Palmer to Saka for free. Have 4FTs, and I think partly it is just because I want to get to 5!

    A) Play Palmer
    B) Get Saka

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      B. Can't beat Saka's next 3 fixtures.

      1. kempc23
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Agreed. Palmers fixtures (at least next two are also decent). But think I will make the move.

        Then need to decide what to do with Raya!

  8. jack88
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    1. Play rogers every week + watkins ( bench dibling)
    Or
    2. Play semenyo now + havertz ( bench rogers to cover semenyos tough fixtures)

    1. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      2 for me

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      2

  9. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Is Saliba worth 0.5m than Timber?
    Currently own the first one but thinking to do the swap, looks like Timber is the 1st choice now and saved cash can help me elsewhere.

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Timber is still prone to the occasional rotation moreso when fixtures pile up IMO. Saliba is always going to play. You are paying for that added security.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Hit enter too soon. I think if I'm paying that much for an Arsenal defender and it isn't Gabriel, then I will pay for Saliba over Timber.

      2. el polako
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Difficult to argue with that, I do own 2 x Arsenal defence but Raya isn’t an option for me.

        Saved 0.5m will allow me though to do so straight Semenyo to Gundo\Savino in 2 weeks.

        Decisions, decisions….

    2. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'd stick with Saliba for now, Wait a few more GWs to find out if Timber is fully nailed on.

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

      Yeah he is, Saliba is nailed. Don’t think Timber is fully nailed every week

      The one I really wanted was White but he’s less nailed now

    4. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Thank you All.

  10. AppleDunk
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Best replacement for Raya?

    A) Flekken
    B) Sanchez
    C) Keep Raya and hope he plays

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Tricky, moving Raya on is a luxury move for many.

      I prefer Sanchez over Flekken.

    2. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      not for a transfer

      if WC (A)

    3. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      On WC indeed. Cheers guys

    4. RomeluStormzy
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'm going Sels

  11. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Those with Lewis, are you playing him every week and hope he doesnt cameo?

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I don’t have him, but surely you don’t put yourself in that position!

      Seen Mykolenko and Greaves as back up’s for wc’ers and can’t see that ending well.

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        is hard to predict when he will play more than 60 mins

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          He’s going to get more minutes now with Rodri injury, that’s a fact now.

          But Stones is also back too.

    2. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Maybe bench him (play Colwill) this week. Usually Newcastle score at home.

      1. Shearer & Sutton
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        And start Lewis GW7-11.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I agree with this. No guarantees Lewis plays these games either though with Champions League sniffing around.

          Plus he was hauled off at Brentford after 45 mins. Plum home fixture.

      2. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Best Newcastle assets for this week?

        1. Ausman
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Harvey Barnes

  12. cruzex
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    To buy martinelli or trossard??

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Martinelli if you have to buy one.

      1. cruzex
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        They are same price

        1. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Yeah I meant I would avoid both of them. But if you are set on one I would go Martinelli.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Martinelli for me, just.

      I think he has shown enough last few weeks to keep Sterling on the bench. Arteta also said few days back that Sterling still needs to get to the physical condition required too.

  13. cruzex
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Who is playing on striker? Trossard or havertz?

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      You’d think Havertz but given the level of opposition, you might expect Martinelli, Trossard, Saka, Havertz all the start.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Expecting this too.

  14. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Total turn around in the big day and gone from dbl Arsenal defence to Havertz up top, hopefully works out.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Good choice.

      The upside move - whether it goes well or not, having Saka + Havertz is a great option, the best option for Arsenal assets over the next 4.

      1. jack88
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        What if jesus starts and havertz shift to mid

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Very unlikely imo. Jesus just back from injury. Didn’t score in the week.

      2. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate, definitely agree.

  15. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Noob mistake, didnt catch the Havertz rise, thank god my place holder Jackson double rise

    RMWCT please
    Flekken Valdimarsson
    Gabriel TAA Robertson Lewis Mykolenko
    Saka Díaz Mbeumo Semenyo Rogers
    Havertz Haaland Stewart

    no 8th attacker, hopefully the 5 ATB can cover
    worth to upgrade Mykolenko? or keep the 0.4m in the bank

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I would downgrade Robertson and upgrade Stewart to get an 8th attacker that is decent.

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thought of that, don't think any less than 7m forward can outscore Robertson over next 3 GW

        Any suggestion?

        1. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          DCL and Wood are the popular ones. Ndiaye seems to be liked by Everton fans if you want to save money.

    2. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Are u playing Lewis every week?

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Semenyo cover

  16. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Very low TV on WC -- defence is shaky but feel best I can do here. Good to go?

    Flekken
    TAA -- Gabriel -- R.Lewis
    Saka -- L.Diaz -- Mbeumo -- Semenyo
    DCL -- Haaland -- K.Havertz

    Fab -- Mykolenko -- Greaves -- Dibling + 0.0m ITB

    1. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      We have similar team

      Fab to Vald?

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Think I will do that. Unlikely to need a 3rd Brentford player, right?

        And yes, it's a very "template" WC look tbh. But awful start and this is 12 changes for me!

  17. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Guys, please help as its doing my head in. If I move Raya out for a 4.5 GK where do I spend the 1.1m I’ll have ITB?

    Raya
    Trent Gab Lewis
    Diaz Saka Semenyo Mbuemo Rodgers
    Haaland Watkins

    Fabianski Myk Greaves Stewart

    Thanks!

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Upgrade Stewart.

  18. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Please help me choose which WC version.

    1. Lewis / Colwill (4.5M defnder)/ Havertz
    2. Saliba / Solanke / Faes

    1.
    Sels
    Gabriel / TAA / Lewis
    Saka / Diaz / Mbuemo / Semenyo
    Havertz / Haaland / DCL

    Fab | Rogers | Colwill | Greaves

    2.
    Sels
    Gabriel / TAA / Saliba
    Saka / Diaz / Mbuemo / Semenyo
    Solanke / Haaland / DCL

    Fab | Rogers | Faes | Greaves

    Thanks

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I was going to say one without DCL but probably 2

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      1 for me

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

      1

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      1

    5. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      1 just

    6. Captain Haddock
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      1

    7. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Thanks all, not sure on Colwill though.

      Maybe Forest defender or Brentford one?

  19. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    A Semenyo
    B Savio
    C Johnson

    A and C would mean I bench Rogers

    1. Captain Haddock
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A

  20. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    WCT GtG ?

    Flekken Fabianski
    Gabriel Saliba Lewis Konsa Greaves
    ESR Salah Diaz Rogers Dibling
    Haaland Watkins Wood

    £0.2ITB

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Great team.

      Prefer Konsa there to rotate with Lewis - most wc’ers go down to Mykolenko.

      Why Flekken over Sanchez?

      Assume ESR bench next 2?

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Konsa & Lewis okay?

        Had Flekken since GW1

        Hard to say ESR, prob Citeh fixture

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Sanchez over Flekken?

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Thats a good team right there.

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

      I'd find a way to get TAA personally.

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Too pricey, would have to sacrifice too much elsewhere which in balance wouldn’t be worth it imo. Good Arsenal pairing and 3rd def options already

        1. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Fair enough if you have your reasons. He has just looked so good under Slot so far. He's unlucky not to have 2 goals and 3-4 assists so far.

    4. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Got some good TV there!

  21. Essem
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Good morning. WC is good to go. Couldn’t afford both Mbeumo and Watkins so opted for the latter

    Flekken
    TAA Gabriel Lewis
    Rogers Diaz Semenyo Saka
    Haaland Watkins Havertz
    (Valdimarsson Winks Faes Greaves)

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Nobody’s essential but Mbeumo next 4 would be a lock for me.

      Good luck.

      1. Essem
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Yeah I went without Haaland until now. Guess Mbeumo is gonna fly now that I’m going without him:)

    2. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Good luck!

    3. Captain Haddock
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Can't have them all, but I am getting Mbuemo definitely. I am choosing between TAA & Watkins.

  22. Barnaby Wilde

    A) Watkins, Konate, Aina (4th def)
    B) Solanke, TAA, Greaves (4th def)

    1. Evasivo

      A for me

      I have both Haaland and Salah, tough choice for captain but went with Salah myself

      G2G, not keen on the BB though

      1. Khalico
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Only reason Semenyo playing Southampton and he’s on the bench and the rest could get some good points too off the bench

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Can see the temptation to BB with your front 8. Mazraoui v Spurs, Johnstone v Liverpool, and Davis v Villa aren't ideal though. Maybe just bench Wood?

          1. Khalico
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            It’s a tough one, I see Wood returning against Fulham but probably only player that can bench for Semenyo

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 2 months ago

              Mmm it is close, if you want to play it early while you have a full (and fully fit) playing squad with the reduced DGWs this season. Certainly I think Semenyo could hit double figures so even just a Davis assist plus some 2pt-ers could get you a decent 15-20. Good luck if you decide to go for it

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Think again.

      1. Khalico
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Who can I get Semenyo off the bench, I see him getting points this week

        1. Ausman
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I'd play Semenyo over Rogers.

  29. PascalCygan

    Raya’s injury is so annoying… anyway, which would you go for?

    A) Watkins, Saliba, Dibling (bench)
    B) Havertz, Lewis, Semenyo

    Have Gabriel and Saka

    Thanks

    4. Khalico
      • 10 Years

      Lewis only if you have cover for him if he doesn’t start
