      The Robot can't blank twice.

      Can he?

      I went with him this week. Very tempted by Ekitike next.

      It wjll stay on Haaland for the forseeable future.

    What’s your FH 19 look like?

    Got some gaps to fill

    ???
    Heaven, Dorgu, Hall
    Gakpo,
    Haaland, Ekitike, Woltemade

    1. Punned It
        20 hours, 37 mins ago

        Tinker, tinker:

        Pickford
        Hall, Keane, Dalot, Dorgu
        Cunha, Cherki, Palmer, Wirtz
        Ekitiké, Woltemade

        Not sure who I'm capping yet. On Palmer as of now, but I'm not really sure I want him in my team, a tad too punty. Considering Frimpong for one of Dalot or Dorgu. Want to give going without Haaland a go. Think Sunderland will be hard to breach. Uncertain about Liverpool mid as well, but not really feeling Gakpo. Ramble ramble.

          It’s so tough isn’t it! I’m not mad about the idea of both Foden and Cherki in my FH, but with Fodens ownership in the ML I can’t go against him yet and FH is as good an opportunity as any to give Cherki a go

          Nice, I’m still going Robot too risky for me!

          Wouldn't be interested in Frimpong I think. Wait for pressers and predicted lineups of course, but could be Bradley RB and Szoboszlai RM/RW.

          1. Punned It
              20 hours, 19 mins ago

              Cheers. I'm not exactly sold on any Liverpool player, really, regardless of fixture or position. But figure FH is the place for slightly mad punts. I do realise Frimpong is a bit of a reach.

              I wouldn't go anywhere near Liverpool's defence. Chelsea (and still Arsenal) are a better option.

            Have you seen Palmer's new girlfriend? Stunning. He's gonna be shattered for the next 6 months, so his form will dip.

                Must admit, I had a google.

                  Well, yeah, they all are. But her gym leggings videos...dear lord. You have to respect the labour and work Palmer's girlfriend does on her glides in the gym. dear laws.

                    Is she a good conversationalist?

                      Lol. I doubt Palmer is with her for her intellect and conversation. Having said that, I doubt she's with Palmer for his conversation. She's outrageous.

                Not interested in looking- but does that mean we should have him in the England squad? I'd tend to veer that way.

            Mines an outright mess atm. So torn between finding the balance of not removing too many of my original team for fear it backfires.

            Also in the running for monthly ML prize, so getting the right differentials will win it, but removing the heavily owned could be costly.

            Currently on this…

            Sanchez
            Frimpong, Gabriel, Dorgu (or Dalot)
            Wirtz, Foden, Cunha, Cherki
            Haaland, Ekitike, JP

            Fairly rubbish bench

            1. Fifa las vegas
              • 13 Years
              20 hours, 35 mins ago

              Want to go Dalot and Dorgu but I’d be shitting it as a United fan! Wolves could do like they just did to Liverpool and did to United a few weeks back.

            2. Punned It
                20 hours, 13 mins ago

                Having Gabriel back is great, but can't really see him getting much points v. Villa on current form. JP not a bad pick, but I wondering if three up front is too much. We have quite a few players in common apart from that.

                1. Ignasi M
                  • 8 Years
                  20 hours, 9 mins ago

                  Knowing Gabriel, he'll score the winner versus Villa in the 91st minute. The only match winner Arsenal have.

                  1. Punned It
                      20 hours, 7 mins ago

                      Not sure I enjoy your posts, sowing uncertainity and other impishness!

                        • 8 Years
                        19 hours, 58 mins ago

                        What match winner's do Arsenal have then? Not Saka (more of a provider) and not...um...who else? The last proper match winner was Alexis Sanchez!

                        1. Punned It
                            19 hours, 50 mins ago

                            It's true. But not sure Gab is up to snuff right now anyway. I think Arteta's getting a bit desperate about his defence.

                            1. Ignasi M
                              • 8 Years

                              Yeah. Troo dat. He'll be starting against Villa though and will come close to at least scoring from a set piece. I really do fancy Gabriel to score a goal vs. Villa, although my hunch tells me it will be a consolation: Arsenal 1: 2 Villa.

                              1. Punned It
                                  19 hours, 31 mins ago

                                  I was severely punished for not getting him quick enough earlier on. Think maybe I'll have to stick him in. Cheers, I guess. Imp!

                                    hahah yes, I am. But that uncertainty and pain comes from being a lifelong Arsenal supporter. Arsenal, the greatest pr*ck tease in football. I'll be bringing in Big Gabby probably next game week.

                      Have Gordon, Rice, Saka in my current team, and all are currently out on FH, feels wrong!

                      I'm on something similar but Newcastle's current away form is putting me off it a bit.

                    3. Punned It
                        20 hours, 16 mins ago

                        Not bad at all. Had Chalobah in for a bit, mainly cause I've had him all season, but don't see a clean sheet there. Am a bit concerned going too heavy on City.

                          I like it. I've no love for Gordon, though. I'd rather Guimaraes, even.

                        He proved today he doesn't need to be on the winning team to return decent points. If he moves, then deal with it, but Cunha huffed and puffed a lot last night and blew himself out. I don't think I would

                      Bit of a disaster going on here. Lost a 40pt ML lead in 6GWs through a mixture of crappy transfers, not thinking things through and sheer bad luck (like him bringing in Grav this week!). Trouble is, it doesn't look like that bad a team on the face of it.

                        I wouldn't do Foden > Palmer. Foden is lively in all games and could easily have had 1+ g/a on either of his blanks.
                        If you bring in Gabriel be prepared he most likely be benched again due to fast turnaround, and building match fitness slowly with 20-25min at a time.
                        I would roll the transfer if i were you and open yourself up to a number of combinations with 2FTs and money ITB.

                      Or rather some def and playing either 343 or 433?

                        better to rotate with a defender. Im currently starting two of Wilson/Lacroix/DCL/Andersen everyweek

                        I looked at MUN mid to rotate with HWilson ... came out with Casemiro 😛

                          Been thinking about that, but maybe Dorgu, tho Potts on BB=2 points

                      A truly horrendous gameweek. 37 with just Lacroix and DCL Left .

                      50% drop in OR. at least the next gw starts soon

                      I am in doubt on what to do here with 2 FT and 0 itb.

                      I suppose I should find a replacement for Ramsdale (as we expect Pope to be back next week, right?), but I also think Woltemade could do really well over the next couple of games.

                      Current team:

                      Ramsdale
                      Timber VVD Richards
                      Foden Cunha Semenyo Gordon
                      Haaland Ekitike Thiago

                      Dub Senesi Mukiele Ba

                      Any suggestions from you guys?

                        20 hours, 3 mins ago

                        you could do semenyo to Rice or someone around that price and then get funds for either ramsdale up to Pope or thiago to wolte

                      which would you sell tonight for Cunha ? Caveat being that the other one will go next week for Rogers

                      A. Semenyo
                      B. Saka

                        • 9 Years
                        20 hours, 15 mins ago

                        Semenyo has 2 bad fixtures, might not even play against Arsenal if he’s going to Man City

                        Saka is actually producing decent point returns. Even if he doesn't score or assist, he still has deacons. Keep Saka.

                        There's certainly a lot of faith in Cunha which i do not comprehend. Creation is at a minimum for Utd without Bruno.
                        Nevertheless if you had to, i'd do A.

                          its the next 3 fixtures and expectations of pens that makes him the flavour of the week.

                          I think hes worth a 3 week punt

                        Would keep saka. Every attack went through him today. Unlucky not to haul

                          He's been unlucky not to haul for 18 gw's now. Glad I finally sold for Rice to free some £

                      Bus team - bench correct here or play HWilson?

                      Raya
                      Virgil Keane Thiaw Dorgu
                      Rice Foden Cunha
                      Haaland Ekitike Thiago

                      Dub HWilson Stach Gud

                            They are playing better now imo, and HWilson should be against tired CP, tho krakusy my guessing game

                      Senesi or Lacroix. Which 1 to sell and why?

                          Ur right, however Senesi was unlucky not to have some points in last games.

                      "Antoine Semenyo wants his #ManCity transfer completed by January 1.
                      Sources indicate Bournemouth may want the forward vs Arsenal and Tottenham ahead of his January 10 release clause deadline, but Semenyo is keen for a swift conclusion with formal steps expected in the next 48 hours."

                      No real fires in my team and got 2 FTs

                      Would you do
                      Lacroix and Wilson for Gabriel and Rice?

                      Current team

                      Sanchez (Dubravka)
                      LACROIX Anderson Williams OReily (Alderete)

                        Loathe to swap Wilson out but Rice should be back in midfield and looks good for the least effort goals/assists wise 200 points in 38 games in fpl history

                      Who based on the eye test seems the one to get,
                      Dalot or Dorgu?

                        Debating this myself. In that match Dorgu played very well and was playing RW, so way more advanced than Dalot. No idea if that will continue. Also he might pick up a yellow and get suspended, but might be worth the risk if he’s going to play RW

                      Timber Richards O'Reilly Pau Alderete.

                      3 injured. O'Reilly absolutely useless and wastes a City spot. Alderete the last man standing.

                      FPL's own FDR chart still has Bournemouth as a tougher fixture than Villa. It's woeful.

                      Any Brighton mid worth consideration?

                      Improve this lot with one FT and 0.6 ITB

                      Annoyingly can't afford Sels>Pickford so thinking Truffert > Dorgu this week and then Sels Pickford the next

                      Or?

                        Lots going for United defence this week. Looks to be a good plan.

                      GTG? Starting XI and bench order correct?

                      Foden, Cunha, Semenyo, Bruno G
                      Haaland, Ekitike, Bowen

                      Been on FH so still have Bruno.

                      Swap to Cunha or Rogers?

                      Thanks

                        I went Cunha but may also get Rogers after Arsenal.
