    Anybody getting in Eze yet?!

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      only if Ode was ruled out for months

  2. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    If Saka returns before GW4, which option?

    A) Keep on bench
    B) Take -4 for GW3 and pick (insert player)

    I have Fernandes & Wirtz

  3. Mini League Fatigue
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    RAN, Saka, Plamer
    1FT

    What to do?!

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      wait for injury news then transfer out them accordingly

    2. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Same trio here, if only Saka is a long term injury I may just FH and assess after int break

      1. Mini League Fatigue
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Yup tempted by FH - worth doing a transfer first to save the price drop tho

        1. Boxwoods
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          If you FH in GW3, any transfer(s) you do between now and then will not count.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Already got VDV and Kudus, but might actually get Porro too for RAN. If not Porro, than probably an Arsenal player. Wait and see if RAN is ok though, its only one week then IB, so could just bench him and hopefully its not serious.

  4. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    assuming Palmer is fit: save FT?

    Sels
    Cucu Porro Konsa
    PMSarr Reij Salah Palmer Wirtz
    Watkins Pedro
    (Dub Diouf Guiu Rodon)

    double villa, but feels wrong to transfer them out now since there is no clear choice IMO

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Yes I think so

  5. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Anyone else done with Watkins? Looks overpriced and Villa looks lost imo

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      yep

    2. Manani
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      what replacement though?

      Ekiteke or Wood looks OK, but not clear choice IMO.

      I got him at the start for the fixture, may as well keep him until then unless there is a clear replacement

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Yeah those two might be the best options

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Sold him on WC after GW1. He was the reason I didn't go Haaland, his pre-season form... When I was set on Salah and Haaland basically the entirety of pre-season. I therefore personally have a vendetta against Watkins. Come to think of it, I never really had good experiences with Watkins.

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      No, he still has the fixtures to turn it around

    5. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Sold Rogers before this week, tactically the team looked awful

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Also, Newcastle couldn't score vs them, even when they went down to 10 men. Newcastle might be just as bad. Hoping Salah goes to town on them.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          Newcastle playing without a striker. But they look solid at the back.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Yea, Gordon hasn't scored since Jan or something. Hopefully Liverpool do a number on them, Salah cap and Gakpo. I need some points!

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              I need Wirtz involved. No Salah :/

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 6 Years
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Best of luck with Wirtz, but bad luck for ur Salah hopes 😀

            2. TiAgoFPL
              • 6 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Same

        2. JT11fc
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          Was just too many doubts for me, Im play aggressively

    6. F4L
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      from the sounds of it they turned it around in the second half and created openings. i think tielemens went deeper when kamara went off? that might've helped.

      i'll hold him and just hope emery doesnt put out an XI like he has these last 2 matches and goes more attacking to give watkins support

    7. TallestJohn
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Only if I wildcard and I don't think I'm going to wildcard.

    8. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Yep selling for H

  6. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Any ideas for next week?

    Got 2FT:

    Sanchez
    Porro | VDV | Neco
    Salah | Palmer | Reijnders | Adingra | Anderson
    Haaland | Wood

    Dubravka | Esteve | Gundmundsson | Kroupi

    Thinking Palmer to Bruno?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Palmer + Adingra -> Bruno + Kudus?

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Ooh I like that!!

    2. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Cunha or Mboomo may be better, scout mish tomorrow

  7. Hey_Arnold
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Gibbs white and Richarlison or Kudus and Wood?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Kudus and Wood

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      K+W

      on the richarlison front, im not sure if hes called up for brazil nowadays, but that is a tough turnaround for gw4 with solanke happy to step in if he is

      1. Mother Farke
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 14 days ago

        RE Richarlison and Brazil. Worth keeping in mind that Ancelotti adores him. Chances are he'll get the call-up if he's scoring goals.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Rich is a fun pick, but super risky. I think he continues to start however unless injured or needs breaks after the IB. You'd expect Solanke starts after the IB.

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    I have Corona in cans, don't ask why. I also have lime, and a glass. How best can I incorporate the lime. I dropped some lime in the glass. But when I have Corona in the bottle, I normally wedge it in the neck of the bottle, so you get a strong taste of lime every time. How can I emulate that. The floating lime is not cutting it. Sucking on another piece of lime periodically is an option, but its pretty ghetto.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Ha, you legend. It crossed my mind. If you don't hear from me again, I choked on a piece of lime.

  9. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Okay, on WC.. some more tweaks, any changes? 2.2m in the bank. Cunha will likely become someone like Eze..

    Sels
    Cucu - Porro - Lacroix
    Salah - Semenyo - Bruno - Cunha - Reijnders
    Wood - Joao P

    Dubravka - Dorgu - Rodon - Guiu

    1. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      On wildcard is it not worthwhile bringing in Haaland ?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Agree, should have Haaland. City always struggle vs Spurs, there were no surprises today. Think I might cap Wood over Haaland next week though, not sure. Brighton are tough to call. Brighton will either do pretty well, or Haaland will go and get a hatti.

        1. Kodap
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          mhm, would you go for Kudus of Brennan Johnson?

    2. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Any way to sqeeze Richarlison in as 8th attacker, could bench Wood vs Ars in gw4

  10. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Palmer and Watkins to...?

    Thinking Pedro/Gyokeres and Johnson or Kudus?

    Leaves me with 5.5m in the bank haha

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Go Johnson, just because everyone else went Kudus. Many Spurs fans hate on Johnson, because he is anon most of the time, but no one can deny that he pops up with a lot of goals. Best scorer last season for Spurs. Kudus is slightly more nailed, not much in it though.

  11. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    2FTs

    A. Palmer/Rodon -> Semenyo(or Kudus)/Wood..... Bench Sarr
    B. Watkins -> Wood
    C Something else

    Sanchez
    Porro Konsa Milenkovic
    Salah Palmer I Sarr Bruno Reijners
    Watkins Pedro
    Dub Guiu Rodon Diouf

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Wait and see I guess regarding Palmer injury and Woods performance this week. I sold Palmer last week, and got lucky with his no show. But I would not be surprised to see Palmer explode on his return. I remember that GW last season where everyone was selling him quite early on in the season and he got 4 goals was it?

      I saw that picture of Palmer watching the West Ham game, and you can tell by the look on his face that he was thinking "I could have got a hatti here or more".

      1. Don Fabio's gut feelin…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers just realised its carabao cup this midweek as well, wonder what kind of team Man u will put out!

    2. Assisting the assister

      Tough one as Semenyo and Kudus rising. Tempting to do the Palmer move tonight and watch Wood tomorrow

    OK I will try one more time: where are the Scout Notes for the Leeds-Everton match? Forgotten??

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Leeds 1-0 Everton (xG: 2.07-0.55)

      Lucas Nmecha took that penalty after he came on for Piroe about 70 mins in. (Nmecha said afterwards that Piroe is the main penalty taker).

      Gudmunsson with 0.31 xGi and 8 defensive contributions

      Tarkowski with 2 points from DefCons as expected

      The End.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Guess that game was missed. Given Leeds had plenty of chances and needed a lucky penalty and were pretty poor vs Arsenal, Everton might not be any good either.

    3. Sebbo29

            So do I hold Rogers and Watkins?
            I C Watkins

            And had Jpedro in the team

            And Esteve last on my bench

      3. Stranger Mings

        Season so far...

        Frimpong to RAN, Palmer inured, 2 game blank for Watkins. Thankfully had Gyokeres cap. We keep pushing forward!

        1. AAAFootball
            3 months, 14 days ago

            I bet you have more pts than me this week

            Put it this way, with gyok cap and your other players average 1pt you are doing better

          I have triple Arsenal and triple Liverpool, do ya reckon next week is Free Hit week?

          I'd be getting in haaland, wood, Mbueno, Cunha, Johnson, Newcastle Def....

                Whats the odds of Salah blanking given how this gw has gone? Saka might still have been the right choice after all that

                  • 2 Years
                  3 months, 14 days ago

                  Gyo & JP are the right choices

                  1. JT11fc
                    • 7 Years
                    3 months, 14 days ago

                    Will def move toward Gyok, JP was always a lock for me

              4. ZeBestee
                • 11 Years
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Given that Gyok has now scored 2 goals, he will stay in my team for now.

                Do Watkins + Palmer (if confirmed out) + Tark 》》Haaland + Kudus + Senesi worth it for -4?

                1. JT11fc
                  • 7 Years

                What to do with Watkins?

                A. Hold

                B. Transfer to Gyokeres

                C. Transfer to Wood

                D. Transfer to Richarlison

                Would normally just hold but lower ownership than I realised so makes it risky if he continues blanking.

                Anyone looking at fh4?

                Could do palmer to cunha/ mbeumo fornthe Burnley fixture - and then use FH for united game at city.

                Can load up on spurs palace pool fulham and arsenal defence for fh4 as they have favourable fixtures

                  Is it after the IB? Might be a bit of a risky one in that regard if there are players coming back from the arse end of nowhere less than 48 hours before the gameweek, managers press conferences along the lines of I haven't seen them yet so I don't know how they are kind of thing. I might have my weeks mixed up

                    No you are right. Always a risk with that

                    But on the flip side I have pedro in my squad - presumably heading to South America so may be a doubt....

                      You can just avoid the players who are risky, it's never a reason not to play one...

                If i do end up replacing Palmer whos the best from these?

                A. Semenyo
                B Kudus
                C Johnson

                  Not c

                  Maybe united impress tomo

                    Have Bruno for Burnley next week, not sure i'd want more with City and Chelsea after that

                2. 420king
                  • 11 Years
                  3 months, 14 days ago

                  I'd go for Kudus. Johnson if you're feeling he gets the minutes.

                3. DARE TO BISCAN
                  • 7 Years
                  3 months, 14 days ago

                  I'm leaning towards B

                • 7 Years
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Salah, Palmer, Reijnders, Wirtz, Rogers
                Pedro, Watkins, Guiu

                a) Palmer, Guiu > Kudus/Johnson, Wood
                b) Rogers, Watkins > K/J, Wood

                Will probably get Gyokares in GW4.
                Only transfer tonight, would be Kudus.

                  Leaning towards A with Kudus
