    Is Mbeumo is good pick for GW27,28 and 29 ?

      Yes but not a clinical finisher. Shown again tonight with 2 gilt edged chances in first 5 mins

        Thinking him yes, would prefer a playing defender in 28. is 9 players on gw28 alright?

  3. Fit_to_drop

    If WCing 27, to give 8-9 for 28 and BB 29 would the 2 transfers in 28 and 29 surely be enough to cover any fallout from international duty? Or a -4 at worst?

      Depends who you plan to have on WC and who will tavel on international duty

    Which option is better ?
    A- Maddison > Mitoma
    Bench Ødegaard

    B- Ødegaard > Mitoma
    Bench Maddison

    C- Keep Both and Play Ødegaard
    Save FT

    1. Fit_to_drop

      B if you own Martinelli and Saka.

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I own Saka & Zinchenko

    2. Sun Jihai

      B or C
      Presumably you just WCed in Maddison so seems a bit reactionary to sell him now unless you had planned that

        Cheers Dude

    3. Tonyawesome69

      Depends who you plan to captain

    How do you mentally recover from 7-0

      Question applies to both players and fans

      Tbh Bournemouth didn't do badly immediately after their 9-0 loss in GW4:

      0-0 vs. WOL
      3-2 win vs. NFO
      1-1 vs. NEW
      0-0 vs. BRE
      2-1 win vs. LEI
      2-2 vs. FUL

      6 games unbeaten, best run they've had all season

    Do you think I need to play my WC now? I'm 0.1 of doing Watkins to Toney

    Kepa
    TAA / White / Trippier
    Salah / Saka / Rashford / Mitoma
    Kane / Haaland / Watkins

    Ward, Tarko, Andreas. beuno*

    A. Watkins + Bueno --> Toney + 3.8 defender
    B. Watkins + Kepa --> Toney + Steele
    C. Other suggestions

    1. Sun Jihai

      What's your selling price on Tarkowski?
      4.3m Mings seems good value and a good upgrade on useless Everton who have yuck fixtures

    2. Tonyawesome69

      Why do you think you need to WC? Have you done a WC draft? What's the plan for other chips you have left?

  7. Kantelele

    If you could bring in one, who would you choose ?
    A) Kane
    B) Mbeumo

    1. Kantelele
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Sorry i’m mean Toney in B*

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Surely doubler that will have high EO due to captaincy

  8. AzzaroMax99
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Odegaard to Mac Allister(C) for free ?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Sure

  9. Kantelele
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Thoughts about transfer Haaland —> Toney ?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes,doing it.

      2 games vs 5 for me and not gonna captain Haaland in next 3 GWs

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      If that's your only route and likely for captaincy then yes I would consider this move

    How on earth was Aaron Hickey NOT awarded the assist for Brentford’s opening goal yesterday in any of the official stats available.

    He was clearly the one passing it to Pinnock and as far as I was able to see, no deflection or intervention from others was made as the ball went from Hickey to Pinnock.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He has an assist on the FPL site though. Refresh?

  11. Fladenbaladen
    • 2 Years

    Thanks, Ze Austin, but on the official Premier League site, he is not registered with an assist (https://www.premierleague.com/match/75163) - only Kevin Schades assist for the goal by Mathias Jensen is registered there.

    And on various livescoring apps (Livescore and Flashscore), Hickey is not registered for an assist either.

    My problem is, that I am playing Fantasy soccer through a Danish website, where he isn't registered for the assist either, as it does not show up on any of the official stats/channels.
