    Wilcard active - going Salah and Haaland for now

    Would you go
    A. Mateta + King on bench, 343
    B. Grealish + Guiu/ fodder on bench (and 0.9m ITB, 352

    Currently on A with this, 0itb - thoughts?

    Petrovic (Dub)
    Gabriel Truffert VdV (Gudmunsson Esteve)
    Salah Semenyo Kudus Reijnders (King)
    Haaland Mateta Pedro

      Having both isn't worth the downgrades with rest of your squad, which looks very weak.

      Also, if you're go in £4m def route. One of them has to be Mukiele or Alderete.

      1. The Son-dance Kid
        • 7 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Getting both Salah and Haaland should have you shooting up the rankings.
        Go A, but see if you can stretch to a 5m midfielder with 100% secure minutes.

  2. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    What's the safety score for LMS?

  3. thetommy14
    • 4 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    Any changes?

    Raya
    Cucurella, Muñoz, VDV
    Eze, Xavi, Grealish, Semenyo
    Haaland, J.Pedro, Gyokeres

    Dubravka, Elliot, Senesi, Gudmundsson
    0,5m ITB

    Start Muñoz or Senesi?

    1. Rico123
      • 2 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Would start Senesi

    I know lots has been said about Villa's attack this season but Eddie's Newcastle are pretty stinky too. That was awful to watch today. At least Villa's picks are playing. Wtf is he doing with Elanga? Not an owner by the way just curious how they can look so bad in attack and they have a few times and he just plods on with a back 5.

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Tbf they lost both of their centre forwards and talismen. Obviously Callum Wilson has had fitness issue for some time but he had seasons where he was lethal up front. Losing Isak was a surprise. Now have new CFs in Wolt and Wissa. Will take time

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Wissa is quality, really annoying for them to get such a bad injury during IB

  5. Lahm and Lallanas Llama
    • 10 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    It would be peak FPL for Bruno to go quiet now points wise but Manu start playing well

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 11 hours ago

      I think Mbeumo will return

  6. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    Would you go Burn or Tark on WC?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 day, 11 hours ago

      Tark

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Tark

  7. chocolove
    • 14 Years

    @sess
    With Ballard fit now, who will he replace in the team, Mukiele or Alderete?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 11 hours ago

      Not sure Ballard gets back in unless Hume goes LB and Mukiele RB.

      Given Alderete is the LCB, I'd say he's as nailed as it gets.

      1. chocolove
        • 14 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Cheers mate, much appreciated

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      No. Mukiele and Alderete have been too good. Chance we stick with back three whilst Diarra out. Mukiele might move to RB at some point but can't drop Hume atm.

  8. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    I sold reijnders, I'm not trolling. He got an assist today but I honestly think the cheap slots are better filled with defenders.

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 11 hours ago

      What’s your team?

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Sanchez - Dub
        Cucu - VVd - Dorgu - Konsa - Gud
        Bruno - Semenyo - Mbeumo - Cullen - Devenny
        Haaland- Pedro - Ekitike

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Reply fail..

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Seen loads of teams benching Man City's #10 for a 4.0m centre back from a newly promoted team. And people are watching their videos too.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Well of course I didn't bench him before selling

      2. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Yes thank you Mr Hindsight, but he had returned in 1 game out of 4, very low xgi/90, and was playing arguably the best defence in Europe with many predicting Ars cs

        1. Make FPL Casual Again
          • 7 Years
          1 day, 10 hours ago

          That said, should really have played him notwithstanding both my 4.0 defenders returned 4 pointers....problem was playing King instead. Lol

          1. Gooner Kebab
            • 13 Years
            1 day, 10 hours ago

            Rough

  9. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    I currently have 2 ft.

    If I use them now, then decide to WC later in the week, how many transfers would I have at the start of the following week?

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 11 hours ago

      2

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Cheers. So I take it using the WC would use one free transfer?

        1. EDEN THE MAN
          • 9 Years
          1 day, 10 hours ago

          Nope it’s WC so would use 0 FT. You just won’t gain a FT to make 3

          1. Blueberg
            • 10 Years
            1 day, 10 hours ago

            Same thing, just a different way of thinking surely?

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              1 day, 10 hours ago

              The right way to think is that the wc and FH use one free transfer. If they used 0 you would have 1 more FT the week after using them

            2. EDEN THE MAN
              • 9 Years
              1 day, 10 hours ago

              Tís true

  10. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    Are Porro and Cucurella worth their price tag?

    Need to free up funds and the likes of Chalobah, VDV, Romero seem much better value. Not to mention defcon monsters from other teams (Senesi, etc.)

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Probably not, considering WC and will look to switch out both.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Nope, defcon boys
      FPL messed up a bit imo with the pricing for some of wingbacks vs. defcon CBs

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Good point, keen to revisit this after the season. And they help fit in 2 premiums

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      I don't think cucurella is. First on the chopping block for me. Out dor Gabriel most likely

  11. Blue Moon Rising
    • 14 Years
    1 day, 11 hours ago

    Best mid under 5.3 - Sarr?

    1. Rico123
      • 2 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Possibly. Starter or bench? Maybe just go King and bank the difference, Xhaka or Alex Scott other good budget options (and seem nailed)

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      KDH or Stach.

  12. Khalico
    • 10 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Team gtg for gw6?

    Raya
    Calafiori, Truffert, Porro
    Kudus, Semenyo, Grealish, Reinjders
    Haaland (TC), Isak, JP

    Dubravka, Eze, Munoz, Gudmundsson

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Is that a wc draft?

      1. Khalico
        • 10 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        No

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      You have quite a lot of money on the bench.

      1. Khalico
        • 10 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Eze and Munoz would usually play over Truffert and Reinjders

  13. Dogs Of War
    • 4 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    When do we think Isak becomes the starter? GW7?

    Thinking of Salah + Guiu to Saka + Isak form GW7.

    Good moves?

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Difficult to say. Isak may start but get subbed early and then get benched next game. Pool now have lots of attacking options so his minutes wont be the same that they were at Newcastle.

  14. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Sanchez
    Andersen, Porro, Richards, Neco Williams
    Salah (c), Wirtz, Fernandes, Semenyo
    Mateta, Watkins

    Dubravka, KDH, Rodon, JSL

    2ft 0.1M ITB

    What would you do with this squad?

    A Free hit
    B Wildcard
    C use two ft to bring in Haaland

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      C

      Watkins and Wirtz to Haaland and a n other.

  15. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Have Porro and Kudus
    Would you go with Double Spurs Def or Att?

    1. Pedersen
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Have same 2. I would just keep that as is. No need for 3rd spurs right now. They are still stabilizing under Thomas Frank

  16. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    I need to free up 0.5 in gw7.
    A) lacroix to richards
    B) mitoma to minteh
    C) mitoma to georginio

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Can I see the rest of your squad?

      1. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        1 day, 9 hours ago

        Kelleher
        Tarkowski Vandeven andersen
        Salah stach semenyo reijnders
        StrandLarsen Haaland evanilson

        Dubravka mitoma lacroix esteve

        0.7 itb. I Am doing evanilson to gyokeres gw7 but need the 0.5.
        Which option? Thank you

      2. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        1 day, 9 hours ago

        Sorry i meant i have 1.5 itb.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 day, 9 hours ago

      A

      1. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        1 day, 9 hours ago

        I think the same. Richards is hitting up the defcons and georginio and minteh have been subbed off around 75 and mitoma plays the 90. I think the 0.5 on mitoma is worth it.

      2. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        1 day, 9 hours ago

        Who would you play in gw6? Mitoma or strand larsen?

  17. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    2FT’s, 1.0mITB - what would you do?

    Kelleher
    Cucurella Porro Milenkovic
    Gakpo Mbeumo Minteh Rutter
    Haaland Gyokeres Ekitike

    Valdimarsson Munoz Rodon Carvalho

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Minteh or Ruttter out for City or Ars mid

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Mbeumo > Bruno
      Minteh > Reijnders

  18. Goodbye Clean Sheet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    On WC. Best combination?
    A) Vicario, J.Timber, Salah, Forster
    B) Vicario, J.Timber, Bruno, Gyökeres
    C) Raya, Andersen, Salah, Isidor

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      C, but I would downgrade Salah in order to upgrade Isidor. Consider Haaland with KDH.

      1. Goodbye Clean Sheet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 day, 9 hours ago

        The front 3 of B) is Haaland, J.Pedro and Gyökeres

  19. Three Badgers on a Shirt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Wildcard activated...

    Petrovic - Roefs
    Gabriel - Van de Ven - Senesi - Livramento - Guehi
    Eze - Semenyo - Reijnders - Kudus - Gakpo
    Joao Pedro - Haaland - Ekitike

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Surely there’s better option than Gakpo?

    2. Rico123
      • 2 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      I’d go Grealish over Gakpo - otherwise like it. Eze and Ekitike could be minutes risks but I like them as picks for now

      1. Three Badgers on a Shirt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        I like that. Grealish does have West Ham next, too.

        I'm fairly happy with this draft but I do think it's possibly a bit top heavy as I'd find it hard not to play all 3 forwards, and then it gets a bit tricky working out which midfielder to leave out.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      I don't think that Gakpo is a bad option.

      Avoiding Liverpool because of xMins is probably not the best way.

  20. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Getting Palmer and Haaland tonight too risky? Would you swap Palmer for someone else?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Saka over him imo

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Still not sure he’s with the money

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Who are you ditching?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Salah and Watkins

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 13 Years
          1 day, 10 hours ago

          Palmer is not 100%, if you have to do them now, I’d go grealish or city mid

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Ndiaye but fixtures…? Could be Foden or Doku as well.

    4. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Palmer is clearly injured

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Palmer yes

    6. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      I'd seriously go for Bruno over Saka as he's definitely on pens.

    7. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Palmer waaaay too risky at this point at his price. Haaland is not risky

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        1 day, 10 hours ago

        Yes rather Bruno as suggested above

  21. Guru Mediation
    • 10 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Do we know why Sarr didn't start for Spurs this weekend?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Big squad?

  22. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    A) Foden or B) Doku?
    Salah and Wood will leave my team for TC Haaland and someone who isn't Bruno or Semenyo. WC next week to get Ars players, not sold on Rice atm and Saka 1 million too expensive.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      Foden over Doku

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      B

  23. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    A. Wood and Watkins to haaland and a 5.6
    B. Salah and wood to haaland and Bruno
    C. Other

    Sanchez
    Vvd-vdv-williams- Richards -esteve

      Ndiaye.
      Proving to be able to get points from just about anywhere (goals, assists, defcon, penalties)

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

        Thankyou mate!!! Leaning towards him

  25. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Keep Vicario (also have VDV) or use a FT to bring in Raya?

  26. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Is useless Reinildo out for 3 GWs now with his suspension?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      He’s at the end of your bench isn’t he?

    2. Bigbars
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      yep, back for gw9

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    Haaland now through 40% ownership
    Let's see where he ends the week!

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      The other premiums not firing 🙁 Easy swap in with their fixtures

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 day, 10 hours ago

      There was a 2.5m difference on Friday with Salah, favouring the Liverpool man.

      It will narrow but I guess Salah will remain the FPL pick in EO.

  28. Manani
    • 13 Years
    1 day, 10 hours ago

    to free up funds for Haaland:
    A. Gakpo > Caicedo
    B. Cucu > Sensi

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
