Do you think the current FPL rules for pens are alright? With Pogba, Salah and Auba all benefitting big time at the moment, and the introduction of VAR coming in in future seasons, do you think pen…

City looked uninspired yesterday, and a team that usually would see a first goal as motivation to go get 5 more looked to fall back and not attack like we expect them to. Their defence looked weak …

In what is hoping to become a weekly pre-deadline feature/panic session - Who are you most scared of this gameweek? Who’s name could pop up as a scorer or assister and fill you with dread?

As I watched Wolves tearing the Leicester City defence apart 10 days ago, my immediate thought was ‘wow, imagine what captain Salah might do to these in the next gameweek!’ The point still stan…

A quick roundup of sourced news that has emerged over this last week and a bit. Would people like this to be a regular thing? Mendy returned to first team football on Wednesday, but Guardiola was …

LONG POST WARNING!!! I've been wanting to construct a simple `expected utility' or `projected points' model of captaincy choice for a while, and since this is a week where a lot of people are stru…

Who do you think will find form and step up to score big this GW, and why? Do you think it will be an already-established name in many of our sides or someone who is a major differential? Have y…

Has Higuain already been added to FPL? How many plan to get him in? If he's priced less than 10, it may be worth bringing him in and moving Hazard out.

All of a sudden, midfield has got a bit uninspiring for me. Most teams at this stage have Salah and Pogba, but that leaves 3 spots in our midfields to fill, and there’s not a huge number of stan…

Since I put the work in, I'll post on it's own thread if you're interested. I have no angle here, just putting the information out there. As a midfielder, Salah has scored 16pts more from goal po…

Who are your differentials ? Players like Rashford Pogba Salah becoming very boring as everyone has them. same defenders.. Mine are Sterling and Firmino and feel good with them. Firm is highly ow…

RP. Any more thoughts on which fodders you have and want? Midfield or Forward? My biggest dilemma right now is what to do with Kamara. I want 3 outfield players with a blank in GW27 to hopefully …

It seems that City attacking assets are almost fixture proof. With Huddersfield and Newcastle away in the next two they have strong short term fixtures; however after that they have ARS, CHE, bef…
