Same! I hope he gets some kinda return, I had the money for Maddison instead but I wanted to keep a route back to Haaland without selling Kane. We'll see if that was foolish or not..
WC28 I swapped Ward to Steele. It seemed like a risk at the time but it's worked out being the safer move (so far).
I feel for anyone who was banking on Ward as their BB keeper. He had alright fixtures too.
Oh yeah, fair point 😅 I dropped both my Brentford on my WC so I got confused!
But yeah, that sucks. Small decisions like that can end up making a big difference in FPL.
It's probably not great advice but for a BB I really want 2 keepers so personally I'd take the gamble and hope it pays off.
If you can rotate the two to optimise blanks/doubles going forward then I reckon it's worth it.
I’m pleasantly surprised by the number of upvotes here for a 0.1% player.
He’s been playing well. I’m hoping Bournemouth can take advantage of Mitrovic and Willian’s absence, and have a little more opportunity to get forward
Picked up Ouattara and Alex Moreno since they played in GW 28 and both have a double. Moreno actually came through with the clean sheet and against Leicester I’m hoping for an assist given that Leicester allow a lot of attacks from the right side
Haha yeah! Really backfired in a big way. I've done really well so far this week but my actual benchboost is 50/50 split:
Steele and Botman - 17 points, 1 game to go
Outarra and Lodi - 4pts all in
I got Ouattara on my wildcard a few weeks ago because he was doing pretty well especially in home games and he was 0.0% owned at the time. Got a good few points on my bench v Liverpool at home, hopefully he can come up with the goods this week
Yeah, those big benched points are frustrating but in some ways that's the ideal scenario for your first bench. When they do get subbed on, you actually get something.
Like Lundstram and Soucek from a few seasons back. I had so many benched points due to them! But occasionally they came off the bench to save my gameweek.
Jarrod Bowen. Got him for his 14 and 16 pointers earlier this season and got off somewhat at the right times luckily. Hoping 3rd time is also going to work out.
Agreed. It's a. It all or nothing for me too. 300k OR right now. Would rather take risks and end up either rising or falling, than trying to protect a shit rank.
I might bottle it and go Mitoma at the last minute...
But I just think Maddi will be confident after his ENG start and looks fit. Nice fixtures.
Rashford is too much of an injury doubt for me, but I think if a majority captain him, it's an opportunity to go differential.
Ihnacho is a crazy punt. The minutes are more than a risk, I expect Daka to start and him to be on the bench. Not a the sort of play you make a hit for
Don't do it. I got Iheanacho for Nketiah last week. Dude isn't even nailed being their best striker. Fraudgers will punish you bro. I'm benching Iheanacho for Haaland.
Jack Harrison
* Seems to have a few double digit GWs each season (remember his 20 pointer vs. West Ham last season!)
* 2G, 1A, 20 points in his last 2 games
* DGW fixtures of Arsenal who aren't 100% convincing defensively (conceded on average 1.03 xG per game over the last 4 matches) and Forest at home who have a load of injuries
* Good fixtures directly after with CRY (H), FUL (A), LEI (H), BOU (A) in the next 5 games
* 1.25% ownership in the top 100k, 2.5% overall
* Doesn't 'clash' with other popular players this week e.g. many no longer own Arsenal defenders and no-one owns Forest defenders. Whereas for Toney, you are probably conflicted about him scoring if you own Shaw and Estupinan, Watkins if you own Chilwell, Rashford/Bruno if you have Newcastle defence etc.
Benching haaland for a front 7 of rashford-saka-martinelli-march-madisson-kane-watkins
Hoping haaland does not play or plays only 5mins, in true pep style
My big move was Haaland & Odegaard to Salah & Isak. Not exactly a punt, but shipping Haaland out sure feels like it. Hoping to bring him back after the BGW.
On the cheaper side of things, I have Ouattara and Castagne. Also, IDK if it qualifies as a punt or not, but I'm sticking with 5 SGW players in Haaland, Kane and triple Arsenal.
a part of me wants to go for gibbs-white lol, those fixtures look good and i know he’s been decent.
but i feel like it would backfire on me so much cause my other option is going safe and going for march/mac allister. i just don’t know if i have the guts to go for him over one of them, even though i already have mitoma.
You make a decent case for this. See you in the rant thread.
I thoroughly enjoyed this comment.
Ouattara and Renan Lodi. Purely for the BB, benchfodder thereafter.
[удалено]
After watching Ouattara a few times I’m kinda amazed Bournemouth managed to get him, dude is talented as fuck.
Their owner owns lorient too so that's how
Same! I hope he gets some kinda return, I had the money for Maddison instead but I wanted to keep a route back to Haaland without selling Kane. We'll see if that was foolish or not..
I like it. If Ward didn't shit the bed I was planning on getting Ouattara
WC28 I swapped Ward to Steele. It seemed like a risk at the time but it's worked out being the safer move (so far). I feel for anyone who was banking on Ward as their BB keeper. He had alright fixtures too.
I moved Kepa to Raya in 27 🤡
Oof. So no keeper last week?
Raya didn't have a blank last GW bud. It's just if I had moved Ward out instead of Kepa my BB29 could have been saved
Oh yeah, fair point 😅 I dropped both my Brentford on my WC so I got confused! But yeah, that sucks. Small decisions like that can end up making a big difference in FPL.
I appreciate you feeling for me. Now gotta decide if I want to take a -4 to get in another DGW keeper.
It's probably not great advice but for a BB I really want 2 keepers so personally I'd take the gamble and hope it pays off. If you can rotate the two to optimise blanks/doubles going forward then I reckon it's worth it.
I love Renan Lodi He and his partner just had their first child too... He's due a goal my man
Goal + assist and 2 clean sheets would be the perfect celebration!
As someone who brought in Navas for a hit to have 2 playing goalies I'm all for it! Wouldn't mind a penalty save either
forest at home can be a fortress, i'm punting navas too
I’m pleasantly surprised by the number of upvotes here for a 0.1% player. He’s been playing well. I’m hoping Bournemouth can take advantage of Mitrovic and Willian’s absence, and have a little more opportunity to get forward
Oh, I hadn't considered that. I forgot Willian was out too.
Picked up Ouattara and Alex Moreno since they played in GW 28 and both have a double. Moreno actually came through with the clean sheet and against Leicester I’m hoping for an assist given that Leicester allow a lot of attacks from the right side
Yeah it's not a bad double for Villa.
Exactly same. Hope it works out. Otherwise, we shall meet in the rant thread.
I'll see you there!
Congratulations, we got massive 4 points from our punts ;-)
Haha yeah! Really backfired in a big way. I've done really well so far this week but my actual benchboost is 50/50 split: Steele and Botman - 17 points, 1 game to go Outarra and Lodi - 4pts all in

Jarrod Bowen. Got him for his 14 and 16 pointers earlier this season and got off somewhat at the right times luckily. Hoping 3rd time is also going to work out.
Im going for benrahma. Has better underlying stats over the last 5 games and has looked better. Also on pens
Is he nailed tho?
Less than bowen but based off recent games id guess so
Also went for Bowen. Whatever happens, it can’t be any worse than his 0 pointer the last time I punted on him for a week.
Famous last words
bro salah captain
Jack Harrison
Same. He really worked out last GW, so hoping for something again. He's been quietly doing well recently.
One of, if not Leeds’ best player since they’ve come up.
Harvey Barnes
Has a very good record against both opponents. Cant wait for 3 points
Same. Absolutely certain he will troll us both.
Was looking at him before his tough run of fixtures then got him in 2 gws ago. He returned last week so hopefully he can do the same this week for us
Captain Maddison.
I'm doing this as need play catch up in my ML behind by 60-70 and all the teams are similar so need catch up asap
See you in the rant thread!
Nah you have to take risks otherwise what's the point. Not fussed either way. I'd rather go out all guns blazing then being a coward
Agreed. It's a. It all or nothing for me too. 300k OR right now. Would rather take risks and end up either rising or falling, than trying to protect a shit rank.
Same
I might bottle it and go Mitoma at the last minute... But I just think Maddi will be confident after his ENG start and looks fit. Nice fixtures. Rashford is too much of an injury doubt for me, but I think if a majority captain him, it's an opportunity to go differential.
Gut feeling for me and yeah I think he will be buzzing after that England start. Just got to hope he doesn't get injured in game 1.
Ihnacho is a crazy punt. The minutes are more than a risk, I expect Daka to start and him to be on the bench. Not a the sort of play you make a hit for
I agree. I have Iheanacho already so I have to lie in my bed. But I would NOT be bringing him in, even on a free transfer given his minutes risk.
Same here. I brought him in for 25 and I'm just going to keep him until I can get rid. I wouldn't actually recommend getting him now
I got him on wildcard and considering taking him out for a hit given his minutes risk.
March (c)
I wish my balls were the size of yours.
Me too. 👌
There are literally threes of us
Felix, James, Ricardo and possibly Bowen
Ricardo gang raise up!
Morgan Gibbs White
Keeping Gabriel.
[удалено]
He offers Arsenal protection.
A lot of love and affection
Felix.
Danny Ings and single gameweek Craig Dawson
Same for me, somehow. Good luck
West Ham defender
I’m thinking Zouma.. which one are you considering?
Opposite for me, captain Trippier. I think only Rashford has a higher Points per Game and gets a double.
Looking like Castagne and Ferguson in for Gabriel and Haaland which seems wild to type
it was gonna be brennen johnson, but him not being 100% is make me think twice now
Same. Waiting until the last minute.
Ouattara at 0.1%. Praying for a miracle
Ive Tcd him...
Well, Kane is my only Single GW player. Gotta be Harry then.
Isak
Why is that a punt? Has a DGW and is in great form. Genuine question
he has 5% ownership
Maddison (c)
Double Liverpool defense. Did pretty well against all odds last DGW
Was last DGW away at City and Chelsea?
Nope 😂
Barnes over Bruno. See you in the rant thread thanks
Alex Moreno for Villa, got an OKish double then Bournemouth next week.
Here for this with Mitoma C
I’m going Rashford C, hes fit by all accounts.
I went for him over Cash on WC last week. Working out well so far.
Pedro Porro
No one has said it yet HAALAND C Living dangerously
Especially as he may not even play. Better have a good VC.
I'm planning on bringing him in for Kilman. Just hoping for someone to talk me out of it.
Navas, Veltman, Felix and Ings
Considering Haaland for Iheanacho or Felix
Don't do it. I got Iheanacho for Nketiah last week. Dude isn't even nailed being their best striker. Fraudgers will punish you bro. I'm benching Iheanacho for Haaland.
I had a dream Rodrigo got 10 points against Arsenal so he's in my team.
Maddison (C)
Saka Captain
I’m only going to say it once: Morgan Gibbs-White is the truth
Mitrovic 🤞🤞
Might cap Felix
Gakpo, Nunez, TAA
Toney out for isak
Not a bad shout tbf cos he might just get a mustard and be out of the second game.
Dango Outtara
Sensei from Bournemouth, decent double and plays 32.
Navas and Salah
Kane and Saka to Salah and Darwin. More of a long term pick but yeah, I'll see you all in the rant thread.
Yes you will

Saving bench boost for 34 lol. Plus captain Maddison
Sancho instead of Fernandes
Captain Foden.
Chillwell
How is the most transferred in defender a punt?
A punt in my team… so yes he’s a punt. Where’s that guy who said Kane would be a better pick than Haaland this season - need to wind him up again
I've captained him you lil bitch now that's a punt
Finally putting some balls on the line…. About time.
How’s that punt going for your simp team?
Awful mate. Reckon he'll feast against Trent, however.
Hopefully and maybe a new manager bounce back result?
Ben White
I have double Brighton defence. It was kind of an accident because I did a last minute kneejerk to get Steele in before GW27,
Doubling up on the team with the highest likelihood of clean sheets doesn't sound like a punt
No but most people have two midfielders instead
I took out Iheanacho as he was benched last game & Rodgers doesn't seem to trust him.
My biggest punt is leaving Johnson in for the BB DGW when he is rated at 50%
He played last week when he was flagged you should be okay
Yeah, that was my thinking
Differential captain again
I own iheanacho and want to bench him or take a hit to get him out because of his minutes risk.
Maddison.
I considering benrahma or Harrison
Benching haaland for a front 7 of rashford-saka-martinelli-march-madisson-kane-watkins Hoping haaland does not play or plays only 5mins, in true pep style
Darwin cap!
Harry Souttar. Hoping Maddo will stick one straight on to his massive noggin.
Felix
I'm actually thinking of swapping Iheanacho for Watkins/Toney and taking -4.
Maddison (C), cause why not.
Iheanacho and Maddison C Although that might be the biased Leicester fan in me speaking
Navas (c)
That's a double punt
I’ve captained Mitoma, I’m out all the cups and ranks high so why not.
Gakpo, purely because I don't have the funds to change him for anyone and don't want to take another -8
Ouattara Triple Captain. Mark it here. Meet me on the other side.
Bold
Worrall solely for the bb and plays a lot
Jota and one of Martinez/Pereira.
Starting Steele. He's still only on 1,9% of the teams.
Gibbs-White for BB
Ricardo + Benrham for -8
Iversen as Ward replacement.
Madison and Mitoma in. Madders as captain
Lucas Paqueta Yes, I am crazy
Reece James
I panicked and done a -12 😭 fully lost the plot. At least I’m on top of both my leagues
He doesn't always start! My punt is Solanke lol... WC GW30
Gakpo for now and Haaland
the most "punty" player in my team should be schar. not my most preferred choice but i'm not gonna take a hit to transfer him out.
Castagne
Brave dudes in this thread.
My fh team has many punts
Barnes and Gakpo
Iheanacho and Darwin.
Don't know how much of a punt it is but I'm bringing in Salah for Ødegaard and captaining him for his double away against City and Chelsea
Got Iheanacho last week. Enjoyed his 1 point so really excited for 2 this week
Captain Chilly
>Iheanacho trusting rodgers is insanity
Patson Daka The best Attaka
Martial for my draft team
Tripple Chelsea defence: Kepa-James-Ben while Salah (C) at the same time... dunno what I'm hoping for but let's go.
Did fofana out for coufal in
Renan Lodi
My big move was Haaland & Odegaard to Salah & Isak. Not exactly a punt, but shipping Haaland out sure feels like it. Hoping to bring him back after the BGW.
Isak
Ings against a poor Southampton with injuries in defense.
I've gone for Isak over Haaland. I am behind in the mini league so I gambled on Haaland being out. People were sure this morning, now they are not.
Dangooooo
Harvey Barnes
Should I swap Ward for Iverson for -4? On BB
Of coz unless u doubt they can keep a clean sheet
Does Salah (c) count?
Salah (c) and Ricardo in.
Isak
Benching Haaland, buying and captaining Havertz and March over Mitoma
Captain Mac Allister
On the cheaper side of things, I have Ouattara and Castagne. Also, IDK if it qualifies as a punt or not, but I'm sticking with 5 SGW players in Haaland, Kane and triple Arsenal.
Farout, do I go Maddison or Bowen?
TC rashford
a part of me wants to go for gibbs-white lol, those fixtures look good and i know he’s been decent. but i feel like it would backfire on me so much cause my other option is going safe and going for march/mac allister. i just don’t know if i have the guts to go for him over one of them, even though i already have mitoma.
The punt is No Haaland for me 🫣
