FPL Marc Broadcaster, writer and overthinker. Hoping that ‘differential potential’ will catch on.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi guys. Could I ask which defence looks preferable:

    1:
    Flekken (Valdimarsson)
    Gabriel Konsa Konate Colwill Greaves

    2:
    Sanchez (Jorgensen)
    Gabriel Konsa Collins Lewis Greaves

    I know some will say lose Jorgensen for a 4.0 keeper but I like the idea of having a back up that will play in case of a Raya situation. Would appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks in advance!

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

      How are you sure Jorgensen plays ahead of Neto?
      I would go with B.

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

        Thanks!

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

        What I mean is Jorgensen is Sanchez’s back up from the looks of it.

  2. Bubbles1985
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Sorry, RP!

    Squad:

    Flekken
    TAA Gabriel Munoz Robinson
    Salah(vc) Eze Rogers Semenyo
    Haaland(c) Watkins

    Areola Archer Winks HBellis

    I have 0.5m itb and 0ft

    Does this look g2g?
    Captain choice is a headache this week!
    No need for a WC yet? I would like Saka in, but can't have em all!

    Cheers

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

      good to go,

      and i would keep the armband to Haaland.

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

    Annoyingly 0.1 from being able to afford this on WC.

    Flekken, Fabianski
    Gabriel, Saliba, TAA, Mykolenko, Greaves
    Saka, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Diaz, Rogers
    Haaland, DCL, Solanke

    Which move would you make to stay in budget?

    A Saliba to Gvardiol ( really want double Arsenal defence)
    B Diaz to Eze
    C Solanke to Wood (bring Solanke in in a few weeks)

    Any other brilliant suggestions welcome.

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

      Semenyo out

      Or downgrade Mykolenko. You don’t need him if you have that defensive 3

    2. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Mykolenko to Faes or Van der berg?

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

      Could hope Raya is fit or only out for one game and bring in Lewis for Saliba.

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

      I have the same team but:

      Mykolenko to Van den Berg
      Rogers to McNeil
      Flekken to Sels.

      I think downgrade Mykolenko is your best option and have a playing 4.0 bench player

    5. Aye
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I have a similar team and tried to have Rogers + Semenyo/ESR, but ultimately opted for Rogers + 4.5 to free up funds and looking to play Rogers every week. If he's not performing he can be swapped out.

    6. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Flekken to Muric, both unlikely to keep clean sheets anyway!

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

      Semenyo to Tavernier

  4. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Raya+Lewis drafts
    a) Solanke+DCL
    b) Watkins+Jiminez

    Raya+No Lewis
    c) Guardiol + Solanke + DCL

    No Raya +Lewis
    d) Ederson+Havertz+DCL

    No Raya + No Lewis
    e) Ederson+Saliba+Solanke+DCL (double ars def)
    f) Ederson+Guariol+Havertz+Jiminez (double ars attack)

    I’m most likely going to be on (d) if no information out

    If Raya in gets leaked - deciding between (a) & (b)

    If Lewis benched leaked - will be between (e) & (f)

    If Raya in and Lewis out gets leaked - (c)

  5. revelc
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Anyone going with Watkins C?

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

      Prefer Haaland or Salah

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        This, or Saka

  6. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Guys wc team... Appreciate your suggestion. TIA.

    Flekken fabianski
    Taa gabriel greaves *** ***
    Saka mbuemo Diaz esr rogers
    Haaland dcl ****

    A) Myko Lewis Havertz
    B). Myko gvardiol Solanke

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A by a mile

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thanks..

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

      B but with Saliba?

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Annoyingly 0.1m short.

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

      A due to Gvardiol lack of surety

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Lewis more surety than gvardiol?

  7. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Any news on Raya then?

    Also, pick one on WC

    A: Colwill
    B: Aina

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

      I like Colwill. If I had the funds, I'd take him over my Mykolenko pick

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

      A

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

    On WC:

    A) Havertz

    B) Solanke

    Currently on Havertz -- want to see more from Solanke in next few games and may be a better pick in 3GW's time or so?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A

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

      A

    3. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I really want to get Solanke. Have a feeling Spurs will tear it up

      But logic dictates going for Havertz and getting Solanke in a couple of weeks when fixtures get better

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

      Liking the look of Solanke possibly bringing him in for Jackson in couple of weeks

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

        Thanks a lot guys. I am on the same page with the love for Solanke, but not quiiiite yet.

  9. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Play 2 out of 3

    A) Rogers
    B) ESR
    C) Wood

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

      Definitely C.
      Not point having wood if you ain’t going to use it.

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

      CAB for me

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        This

    3. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      AC

    4. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Cheers - same as my plan.

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

      B & C

  10. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Raya’s injury means I now have 1.2m in the bank on wildcard. Is there anywhere obvious I should be spending it to improve this team?

    Flekken

    TAA Gabriel Mazraoui

    Saka Semenyo Mbeumo Diaz

    Haaland(C) Jackson Wood

    Valdi Rogers Greaves Faes

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

      Get a better 4th defender to rotate with Mazraoui

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

      Bump up Faes to a 4.5 with a better fixture this week than Maz

    3. RamboRN
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Think raya out for a while? Not worth banking to money to bring hi back if and when he plays?

  11. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    A) Jota + J Pedro -> Mbuemo + Havertz -4
    B) J Pedro -> Jackson
    C) J Pedro + Winks -> cheap striker + Mbuemo -4
    D) Hall -> Gabriel (4-4-2, bench J Pedro this week)

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

      between A or D

  12. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    One quick question, why are transfers free without clicking on WC?

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      You get one free pre week.

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

      They cost me -4 (once beyond FT limit), so not sure what you're seeing your side

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

      Rolled more than 2 FTs & unaware of the rule change this season...?

      If not that, I don't know, it doesn't make sense. But surely as a 10yr veteran you don't need us to explain the basics of FTs

  13. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    On wc..help needed for final two spots:
    Which two options

    A) Watkins
    B) Havertz

    1) Semenyo
    2) Tavernier (stats similar and he’s on set pieces).

    Squad is:

    Flekken
    Trent - Gabriel - Lewis
    Saka - Diaz - Mbuemo - Semenyo - Rogers
    Haaland - ********

    Fabianski - DCL - Mykolenko - Greaves

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Toss of a coin on A and B. Probably Watkins but more likely for rotation with Duran.

      Havertz absolutely before Odergaards injury, now probably not.

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A1

  14. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Back to Haaland captain after two weeks on Salah.

    So this week, Haaland does not score for Man City and Salah gets either two or three.

    Some free money from Bet365 this weekend for that

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      This is when Haaland blanks now the masses have him on their wildcard

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

    I know the sensible choice here is A, but is B an option?:
    A) Saka and Watkins
    B) Salah and Wood

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      definitely A

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A isn't so sensible with villa back in champions LG Action

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

        Hmm, he could just be Solanke and keep Saka. I thought I was set on WC!

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A Salah haul will swing you towards B

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

        Yep and I will want to WC to get to him!

    4. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A

  16. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    How many minutes do we expect Foden to get?

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

      No idea, so I'm waiting. He's not even in the predicted lineup here

  17. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Are there any final changes that I should make to this WC team or is it G2G

    Sels

    Gabriel TAA Colwill

    Saka Mbeumo Semenyo Diaz

    Haaland Jackson Wood

    Flekken Mykolenko Greaves Rogers

    0.1 ITB

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    1. RamboRN
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Looks good to me

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

      GTG. I would move Rogers to 1st sub

  18. RamboRN
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Wc good to go?

    Raya
    Taa gabriel lewis
    Diaz Rogers mbeumo saka
    Haaland solanke jackson

    Subs fabianski winks greaves faes

    Not sure whether to swap raya to someone like sanchez and bank to money to bring raya back if and when he plays

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

      First xi is great. Bench is horrific, especially is Diaz/Lewis is rested. Id use Raya money to improve there.

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Bench too weak for my liking

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Winks to Dibling and upgrade Greaves?

    3. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I agree good first XI but rubbish bench

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

      Downgrade Raya to Sanchez and Faes up to 4.5m def of your choice that can rotate with Lewis if he doesn’t play

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

    A) Saliba and Solanke
    B) Lewis and Havertz +0.7

    1. XX SMICER XX

      A

    4. Gandalf

      No point having Semenyo in your team if you're not going to start him vs Southampton.

      A2

    5. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Too one is tough, I really like Rogers but you have to start the other two

      B2

  21. XX SMICER XX
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    A. Porro to TAA
    B. Roll transfer

    Defence is:
    Gabriel Torres Aina - Porro Quansah

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A

  22. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Who do you rate as the best 4.5 def moving forward? (Other than Mazraoui and Lewis)

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Is Robinson too much now?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Ah, have him, too 🙂

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Why is Mazraoui so popular?

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        From what I have seen he is decent going forward and they will pick up clean sheets

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          This

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        This, points on level with VVD and Robertson, only 4.6

    3. Aye
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Konate, Colwill, Pinnock

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

      My backline is only 4.5m def so Digne, Robinson, Aina and Davis could be all decent

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

      Milenkovic/Aina, Davis

    6. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I like Mykolenko at £4.3m

  23. MissouriMarten
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    I've finally settled on this:
    Flekken/Valdi
    TAA/Gabriel/Saliba/Davis/Greaves
    Saka/Diaz/Mbuemo/Semenyo/Rogers
    Haaland/Watkins/Stewart

    Phew!

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Nice team, breathe out!

  24. Aye
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Colwill or Konate ?

    They will mostly rotate with Robinson. Cheers.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Konste

  25. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Rico Lewis or Ross Steward to start.

    I could see Newcastle Man City ending 2-2, certainly a goal and no clean sheet point, so reliant on Lewis goal or assist

    Stewart I doubt will start but then surely comes on for half an hour, when they are behind at home to Bournemouth.

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

      Lewis

    Any help on WC? I’m unsure on double Chelsea defence but could also pay off in short term fixtures. Also worried about not having Semenyo

    Sanchez
    Gabriel, TAA, Colwil
    Saka, Diaz, Mbeumo, Rogers
    Havertz, Haaland, Jackson

    Fabianski, Greaves, Dibling, Faes

    0.0 in the bank

    1. RomeluStormzy

      One of Jackson/Havertz to Wood/DCL and upgrade Dibling to Semenyo and spend the rest on rotating defender with colwill?

      Bench too weak
      Sanchez to Flekken

      Lewis over Colwill

      Cultivate that doubt. Double defence with those GW8-11 fixtures? Greaves at Spurs when Colwill plays Arsenal?

    I will rotate three 4.3-4.5 of which two play each week.

    Mykolenko and Ait-Nouri picked for fixtures price and some upside in attacking.

    Pick one

    A) Aina (or Milenkovic)
    B) Colwill
    C) Zabarnyi (or Kerkez)

    1. TeddiPonza

      B

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20

      A

      Tough between B and A. Forest rotates better but Chelsea might be bit better this year and Colwil has some set piece threath.

    On WC - final midfield spot would you Choose

    A) Eze
    B) Rotate Semenyo and Smith Rowe based on fixtures ?

      B more popular with the content creators

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years

    WC
    Good to go?

    Flekken
    Trent - Gabriel - Lewis
    Saka - Diaz - Mbuemo - Semenyo - Rogers
    Haaland - Watkins

    Fabianski - DCL - Mykolenko - Greaves

    Only question mark is Watkins or Havertz?
    If Watkins then how important is triple Arsenal.
