    Palmer & watkins to Anderson & haaland -4? Yay or nay ? Thanks

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      No

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        Ok cheers just panicking as no haaland

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Nej

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        Noted

    3. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Considering the former 2 outscore the latter GW2, probably not

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        Ok thanks

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Definitely not

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Ok cheers

  2. Brosstan

    Why do pundits hate Chris Wood?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      NFO pre-season was deemed to be 'a struggle to score'

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        It was, they scored 1 goal and kept loads of clean sheets, today they score 3 and don’t keep a cs, makes complete sense

  3. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Why no price change predictor on here?

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Keep Gakpo (new ARS) or move to Semenyo (WOL tot)?

    1. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Gakpo is a no-brainer season keeper if Liverpool don't sign any more attackers IMO.

    2. Mother Farke
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      I want to get Gakpo IN. Don't sell before Newcastle. There's no hard fixtures for the way they play in attack.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      keep for sure imo

  5. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    A: Bowen to Wood
    B: Play Free Hit (preferred option)
    C: Do nothing

    Sanchez (Dubravka)

    Tarkowski Milenkovic Esteve (VDV, Rondon)

    Salah Palmer Fernandes Kudus Reijnders

    Watkins Bowen (Guiu)

    1. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      C

  6. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    8 blanks! 50 sorry points!

    Season over. Thank you.

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      36 here, keep the faith buddy. Will come back strong next week

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Bad start, some 50/50 like Frimpong vs Cucu or VDV vs DeCuyper not going my way, tho general consensus is just to lock your team and wait for the next GW?

  8. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Take a hit to replace Konsa or just play VdV?

    1. Downtown
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Plat vdv

    2. Mother Farke
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      I'm playing Porro cause of Konsa, too. Granted, Porro is attacking, but it's still Spurs defence.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      would just play vdv and hope for no more than 3 conceded and dc 2 points. konsa still a solid pick from gw3 onwards

    4. Steavn8k
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Same question here. Have the option to play Esteve vs. Sun aswell though which I might take a bet on. Don't think it's worth a transfer to move him.

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Sels
    RAN Munoz Porro
    (S)alah Bruno Cunha Gakpo Sarr
    Watkins Evanilson

    fine to save? trying to get to first international break then will re-assess.

    1. Downtown
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Totally

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        cheers. hope for abit more from the front 7 gw 2 🙂

  10. Downtown
    • 15 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Frimpong to Ait Nouri?

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Hell yeah. Frimpong to just about anyone. Pool backs look poor. Virgil looked old

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      tough one as i dont expect RAN will pick up extra DC points often and his attacking output was limited. if frimpong was fit i'd be tempted to keep for now. grav should be back and newcastle are still lacking a striker

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Cuc

  11. TheTruth
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Would it make sense to have Gakpo and Ekitike instead of Salah?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      if isak dont sign yeah

      still think salah is better than haaland, but if you dont like 2 forwards outside of Haaland then can see argument for him over salah. especially as there are so many good midfield choices

    2. Downtown
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Tough one. I'd say no for now

    3. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Im currently Gapko & Writz.. i wasn't worried.. pull the trigger. It feels fine.

      I'm looking to ship Writz and bring in Eki, just waiting for that extra FT next GW!

  12. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Knee jerk... Gyorkores to Etikite?

    1. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      What if Liverpool buy Isak. Liverpool say deadline for that this coming week, otherwise they will likely buy another striker from somewhere else

    2. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Yep for me.

      Players around Ekitike are better; therefore his service will be much better. He'll be 75-80min man most games

    3. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Keep at least for Leeds. Admittedly he was awful today but surly a keep for 1 more week

  13. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Murillo to Dorgu? Banking the 1m to another transfer another day?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Did Murillo become bad overnight? If not for a strange refereeing decision on a completely accidental handball, he'd have a nice clean sheet and potential bonus.

  14. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Who’s spot will Nordi Mukiele take?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Gabriel Jesus

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Sterling

  15. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Glad I got Wood instead of Pedro last day.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Will be oposite after next week

  16. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Punty C?

    Watkins or Semenyo?

    1. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Thinking of Watkins myself

  17. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Long term:
    A) RAN
    B) cucurella

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      b - will play every week.

  18. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Frimpong (injury doubt), skelly (not starter) neco, on bench vdv konsa, do skelly to white/calafiori/dorgu ? Y or N

    -Didnt like what i saw from ars che avl cpl and i have rogers watkins gyokeres pedro sarr, on watchlist burn gordon/elanga semenyo mbuemo wood

  19. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Highest rated new mid and striker might take a while to fit in

  20. Jullepuu
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Anderson to Reijnders yay or nay?

    1. Wengers Apprentice
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      That’s the most likely transfer I’ll be making but would love to get rid of Frimpong too although no one really standing jumping out.

      1. Jullepuu
        • 6 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        Cheers

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        Anderson was Man of the Match vs. BRE. Got one assist but arguably denied two other assists too. Did also take some shots. On corners and off set piece. 90m man and will always in conversation for DefCon?

        Think Anderson is a fine hold and it's Reijnders FOMO that is clouding judgement a little.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Anderson stats was better than Reijnders seems to be, for just 1GW of course

  21. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Same old united or were they better today?

    1. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Better overall but still can't buy a goal. Looked best when Amad was on the pitch.

      1. just a man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Amad links well with Mbuemo.

        Would add that Cunha much better in 10 after subs rather than 9

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Better - their attack actually looks good now with Mbeumo and Cunha alongside Bruno.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Definitely a lot better but couldn’t score. Better team in all areas only for a goalkeeper error Arsenal didn’t threaten really

    4. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Better but still couldn’t score. Looked more like clicking though. XG was 1.97

  22. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Team was in shambles and had to activate the wildcard. what do you think?

    Raya - Dubravkla
    Ait Nouri - VDV - Cash - Guehi - Reinildo
    Salah - Kudos - Reijnders - Semenyo - King
    Haaland - Ekitike - Richarlison

    1. TheTruth
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Yep, good team. Don’t listen to those that say not to activate wild card early. Best do it ASAP before its too late.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Well done, you've bought almost everyone that scored points in GW1. What happens when they suddenly don't score next week?

      P.S. Don't forget to include a LEE/EVE player that gets some points tomorrow too.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        odd* other set pieces

      2. TheTruth
        • 6 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        With the 5 free transfers system that’s implemented, the WC has lost its value.

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Hope they are targets as have 3 Leeds on BB

    3. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Not sure what it was before but looks exactly like the team of the week from this week. Can’t see them getting double digit point hauls again

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Don't like 5.5 for a GK, not convinced on your defence
      Richarlison scored two, but Solanke could start next game?

    5. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      That's a brilliant team for GW1. Nice

  23. #1 Salah Hater

    Great feature FFScout. Really makes the monthly subscription fee worth it.

    Point dodger Rogers to Semenyo?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Did you check Rogers next opponents?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 6 hours ago

        Yes, did you check Semenyo's

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 5 hours ago

          Then do it. Why asking for other people's opinions if you already know the answer.

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 5 hours ago

          Ah yes, Semenyo who historically scores when you want him to in 'green' fixtures...

    2. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 6 hours ago

      Not when Villa are playing Brentford next week. Think Rogers will play centrally next week given how bad Villa were and Malen will start instead of Onana

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Onana and Kamara were horrible overly defensive pairing by Emery

        1. FPLamateur
          • 1 Year
          4 months, 5 hours ago

          Yeah was a dreadful watch can’t believe he didn’t bring Malen on early albeit the red card killed Villa. Think they will be fine from now on

        2. Mother Farke
          • 1 Year
          4 months, 5 hours ago

          To be fair, he was probably trying to avoid overloads by Newcastle's quick wingers and a "freescoring" game. Not what Villa fans want to see at home, but I get it.

          Rogers gets another week to shine v Brentford.

  25. jayzico
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 6 hours ago

    Burnley or Sunderland for the win next GW?

    I would have said Burnley pre-season but Sunderland look power

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Xhaka, Diarra and Adingra all great signings

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Fosure. But who will concede?

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Draw i reckon 0-0

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        I'm playing Dubravka and Reinildo so that would be lovely

        1. jayzico
          • 14 Years
          4 months, 5 hours ago

          Thanks

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    There are some seriously flimsy knees here and GW1 hasn't even finished...

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Love it

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      FPL and knee are brothers 😛

  27. jayzico
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 5 hours ago

    Ok screw it. Got 73 but need Haaland AND Salah. Ah more tinkering fun for another full week.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      no u dont need them both at all. Salah is a bad pick for the next 2 weeks all things considered

  28. ae
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 5 hours ago

    Current front 3:

    Watkins / Pedro / Bowen

    Worth taking a -4 to get Etitike and Wood in?

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      I have the exact same front 3. They were not bought for one week. I will give them until the first international break.

      1. ae
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        I’d normally wait it out, but these price rises are almost forcing my hand. Watkins I have faith in, Bowen needs better support and Pedro seems to either blow hot or cold. Need more consistency.

  29. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 5 hours ago

    Of all the things to save a GW, Arsenal defenders wasn't the most predictable.

  30. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 5 hours ago

    68 on a BB with KDH to go, wildcard active.

    Set up for one week, went ok but seen where I want to go with it.

    Haaland in over Salah & Palmer the key takeaway.

    Think the 5 AFCON transfers encourage aggression,

    1. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 5 hours ago

      Palmer playing WHU next week who conceded 3 to Sunderland and people getting rid of him. Games gone

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 5 hours ago

        Palmer doesn’t have many open play goals for months and Chelsea didn’t look menacing today, think they’ll take a few weeks to get going. Can’t be paying 10.5 just for pens.
