      Let's see what Emery says in a couple of hours.

      If we don't get a positive/clear update, it's probably not worth the risk given the schedule.

      Sat - IPS
      Wed - LIV
      Sat - CHE
      Tue - cry

    Watkins??

      Yes. Very reliable.

    Hi Tom, RMT please - I have 1 FT, played TC Salah last week and considering Emery AM this one:

    Sels Dubravka
    Gabriel TAA Robinson Hall Mykolenko
    Salah Palmer Diaz Rogers Amad
    Isak Wood Ndiaye

    Any suggestions on best play here? 2.4M ITB. Am open to a -4 this week.

    Hi Tom

    Where to go from here

    Raya
    Alexander Arnold Robinson Timber
    Kluivert Semenyo Mbuemo Salah Palmer
    Isak Gakpo
    Fab Raul Greaves Veltman
    1 FT Budget 1.3

    Thinking Emery for Assistant Mgr but cant help thinking next 2 weeks are not ideal and unsure of where to go with the chip, perhaps utilise further down the line? All chips bar TC remain so when else best to use?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Tom’s giving it consideration. Personally, I recommend a course of leeches!

      Hi Guys , moyes out for Emery for a -4 ??

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Hmmmm close one. I fancy Everton against a Crystal Palace that hasn’t scored for two seasons now.

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        What was the initial FT spent on?

        I'd take that as the transfer of the week, and give Moyes one more GW

        Unless you plan to keep Emery for GW26 too

    • WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Bench one of

      A. Wood
      B. Isak
      C. Mateta
      D. Mbeumo

      Currently on A, but did that last time (admittedly unintentionally) and that was the reason I got a red arrow.

      Thoughts very much appreciated.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        C. Lollygagger.

    • El Copo
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Would you bench Gordon or Wissa (have Mbeumo)?

      And would you ship Hall for a defender with a better fixture? Can't afford Kerkez so maybe Munoz. Can't see the point of getting a Villa defender.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Get the 4.4m cherries defender.

    • CAP
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Wouldn't mind some advice chaps. Have 2FT remaining after Gordon > Kluivert.

      Henderson
      Gabriel, TAA, Mykolenko
      Palmer, Salah (C), Rogers, Amad, Kluivert
      Wood, Isak

      Fab, Ndiaye*, VDB, Burn
      Slot

      A) Roll
      B) Mykolenko > Huijson
      C) Amad > Dango

        As a Diaz owner, I am now hopeful of a 2 pointer instead of 1 in the Wolves game.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          There is this

      6. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Maybe jsut maybe Doaz in 3 weeks ago might finally pay off.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          Yep

          Would be hard to sell if he's on the left against Wolves and Jota is down the middle

      7. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        This is news

        Which would make Jota and Diaz more likely against Wolves on Sunday

        Perhaps I don't sell Diaz to Slot after all...

    • FPLBRAH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Is bringing Dango in for a -4 worth it with my currently line up?

      Sels
      Timber TAA Huijsen
      Rogers Salah Palmer Mbumeo*
      Gakpo* Wood Isak

      Fabianski Amad Robinson Burgess

      * I would probably bench Mbuemo or Gapko (if injured) for him.

      Thoughts appreciated.

      1. FPLBRAH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Bring him in for Amad***

    • Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I'm in the fortunate position of having 3FTs and have 3xliverpool and 2xVilla. I don't want anymore Villa.

      I'm considering buying a Bournemouth midfielder as my 8th attacker. But- do you think it's worth spending the transfer when it means I'll be benching either Amad (tot) or isak (mci)?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Not if you bench Isak.

        1. Sharkytect
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          So...bench amad?
          Have you seen spurs' defending?

      2. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Nope

        1. Sharkytect
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          So...I'd have 4FTs next week! Almost like having a wildcard!

          1. The Knights Template
            • 12 Years
            9 months, 24 days ago

            Superb play. Very envious.

    • AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      So Arsenal attacking line-up will be...

      Sterling Trossard Nwaneri

      Is that correct?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years

          Do they have any promising youngsters they can promote further?

          There were loads coming through a season back, did they all get sold on?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        If 36 is the big double would you be playing BB36?

        Otherwise AM now, in gw30 or gw36.

        I don't advocate leaving it so late.

            9 months, 24 days ago

            There's always opportunities

            Man City or Newcastle could be a table bonus next week.

            Or punt on Leicester to beat or draw at home to Brentford next Friday night.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          No

          It could be small one or even a small blank

          Apparently, according to the spreadsheets and tea leaves.

      What would you do with the Gakpo situation? 0FT, 0.0 itb. Just hope for the best? At least he will get the Villa game, so a -4 seems a bit to much.

      Salah - Palmer - Bruno - Rogers
      Wood - Gakpo - Isak

      Bench: Enzo, Mykolenko, Hall

        • 10 Years

        Have you done the Emery switch?

        Ditch Gakpo to AM Slot is another option for dgw points.

        1. Dutchy FPL
          • 2 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          Yeah did Moyes to Emery. Downgrade Gakpo to get Slot means a -8. And I prefer Emery over Slot personally. Watkins and Darwin are the only DGW attackers I could get, so I will sit this one out and hope for the best

    • 1justlookin

      Gakpo owners, thoughts on selling him.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        To Jota?

        1. FFS ManU
          • 3 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          Gakpo is a FPL forward this season.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 months, 24 days ago

            Ouch

            There's me thinking Jota was too

      2. Dutchy FPL
        • 2 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Only if you can do two FT's to get another DGW player. Gakpo is likely to play against Villa, so I don't really see the upside for a transfer to another single gameweek player

      3. shredder
        • 15 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        I'm keeping and using transfer to ship out Ndiaye

    • marpy016
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Start Aina or Robinson?

    • AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I'm on Moyes with 1 FT, only 0.2m itb

      Is Moyes to Potter at home to Brentford the play for the table bonus now?

      Exactly 5 places apart.

      That means I keep 3 Liverpool in my team. Konate, Salah, Diaz.

      Maybe a hit for 1 Villa player too.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Go for it, yes.

      2. Manchego
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        If I hadn't already gone Emery, I'd be weighing it up. I'd missed Potter as an option, forgetting how tight the table is.
        Like you say, you keep your 3 Liverpool, take a punt on West Ham and can get a Villa player so you're still in on the double. Go Team Diaz.

        Just maybe

        Makes selling ahead of Wolves for Slot harder
