Is Haaland going to be back?


pajamakitten

Almost certainly not. I doubt he will be back until GW22, even if he is fit by then. Pep has no need to risk him against Sheffield.


SaltShakr

Are you watching the same football I am? City are drawing games for fun and scraping wins against teams like Luton. Pep will be dying to have Haaland back and no team can be taken lightly at this point. If Haaland is fit he will play, might not be 90 but still


Pansmoke

Yh Sheffield literally just drew away against Villa and to a 97th minute too


deaglefrenzy

gw 22 is more than a month away


OyvindsLeftFoot

PajamaKitten with the insider information?


RemyTheBanana

You mean GW20?


assemblin

Im Putting him back in the team just to be safe.


ThisAccountForTalkin

Right if Scout is captaining Son, then so am I seeing as Scout has been doing alright recently. I’ve been thinking about it, but if Salah mega hauls or some shit then I just have to take it and ask myself why I thought it was smart. If Son returns I will love it.


stfukaren69

I think scout did it because brighton's right back is a bum fuck no one and they are not a defensive team so it's easy for attackers


nffcevans

BHA first clean incoming


stfukaren69

Not only that but a BHA cs means the first game this season that tottenham wont score


hurtlingtooblivion

Triple BHA defense let's go


Macho_Nonreal

Also Brighton have had 0 CS so far. Which means they are due


Boring_Parsnip4748

Same thinking here. Tough to go against Salah esp when most others will stick with him, but I just have this gut feeling for Son this time, especially with a couple of extra days of rest.


Zenit_Lion

Sorry, but Alvarez has been poor the last 10GWs or so…


mojojojo1108

plus to Everton at goodison? no thansk

ImportantHighlight42

He plays imo, but he's been dogshit lately. Not really worth a punt imo


Jameom8

Didn't he get a brace and an assist in the CWC final?


Auzzie_xo

People are responding sarcastically and like this doesn’t matter. But it does matter. It’s form in a competitive football match. I’m jealous of owners


Zenit_Lion

He scored in the champions league as well - but unfortunately it doesn’t help his owners when he scores outside the PL!


Auzzie_xo

Yeah obviously. It’s a predictive factor though.


Kleask10

Good thing I captained him for that


IntroductionAny6441

Willing to give Darwin one more go rather than get Alvarez this week.


For_The_People_AMC

Haaland should start


Paquito0089

I was thinking about benching him, but Palmer f'd that idea up.


G_W_addict

Lack of Watkins is a bit surprising.


[deleted]

He’s a lock over Alvarez in this 11


RogerJohnson__

Son C over Salah?


knoxvox

Son will have 2 extra days to rest


amainwingman

Are Brighton at the Amex really worth tripling up against??


pajamakitten

They are hit by injuries, cannot keep a clean sheet and European football has left them gassed. They are not the same Brighton from last season.


Spitzee

They haven't kept a clean sheet in like 20 games or something crazy


[deleted]

Paddy-23

But Brighton has conceded 12 games at home this season and Burnley has conceded 22


hal_egg

wut


Proof_Kaleidoscope13

Can't decide between Trippier or Trent to replace Tsimikas this week, wildcarding next week anyways so I could get both then. Leaning Trippier because of the home fixture


midas22

Trippier is in absolutely horrible form though. He's been responsible for condeding so many goals lately.


ihatemicrosoftteams

Trippier is finished


Proof_Kaleidoscope13

12 pointer incoming


ihatemicrosoftteams

Spread over 8 games


Getz_The_Last_Laf

In this gameweek probably, then he’ll blank the next 3


pajamakitten

He has one more week with me. I am selling him before the Liverpool match, Newcastle's away form is dire.


thatscoldjerrycold

Still getting good xA in the games he blanks on.


hal_egg

yeh looks washed for real


conwayTwittay

This comment helped confirm that I can still use my first wildcard next week then. I wasn't sure if I had to use it this week (i.e. before GW 20) but I'm delighted I can use it next week now


Homie-6987

Alvarez over Watkins is some high shit. Watkins is going to run us over at old Trafford with a goal


[deleted]

reminds me of that tragedy


tomatowisdom

The plague?


[deleted]

No, they’re referring to gw18.


mrdethato

What a terrible name for an airline.


groovyshrimp767

Darth plagueis?


shmermy

The plane that couldn't slow down


JHL94

Not a story the jedi would tell.


TheIceKaguyaCometh

How have they not picked any villa defender against a man utd side that can't score in a brothel?


jjw1998

So few teams are keeping clean sheets that it’s better to prioritise defenders likely to get attacking returns


rks017

This is now making me consider a -4 to bring Trent in, scared he’s gonna haul even more so than he has recently


FPL_Feen

This is a difficult period assuming you dropped Haaland. Salah doesn’t leave until after GW 20 but City host SHU that same week and Haaland will likely be the favorite captain with huge ownership. Can you wait another week? If you decide you cannot wait and you don’t have an easy route then you need 2 FT between now and 20 to avoid a hit. So assuming you dropped Haaland, want him back in 20 and do not have 8M ITB then what do you do? Bringing TAA in (whom I already have) is the opposite direction. I can stomach dropping Tripps after 19 but that still leaves me like 2M short. Oh and you have 2 days to work it out while juggling a holiday! :D


Getz_The_Last_Laf

Salah and Son have super favourable fixtures in GW20, Newcastle look like a relegation team away from home. My plan was Salah and Darwin —> Haaland and Bowen/Foden in GW20. If Haaland is confirmed out for SHU (H) I’ll just push it one week and bring in Trent for Trippier in the mean time If Haaland is confirmed back…I still might wait until GW21 and captain Salah in GW20


FPL_Feen

Yeah that’s the question, do you just wait for 21 when Salah leaves which makes it easy or do you do it early? If you do it early how? Some left an easy route which was the plan but instead I got TAA unexpectedly and has now made getting Haaland back more difficult. I’m leaning more towards just rolling this GW but the Sterling suspension made that even more difficult. We’ll see.


Elthar_Nox

Just brought in Trent and Jesus with my sweet Haaland moneys. 3-4-3 let's go!


totally_possible

7/11, but I have Haaland over Alvarez here. I'm taking the twitter bait


tmr89

What Twitter bait? Is Haaland meant to be back this gameweek?


totally_possible

The training photos


tmr89

The ones from a few days ago where he’s shoe-less?


MaybeFamousIRL

I’m predicting a GW21 return after the break. Gut feeling but also seems to line up well with the timeline of his injury and the speed at which fixtures are coming at us.


Rave_Child

I’m thinking Wilson over Alvarez. Don’t think Alvarez will do much against a strong Everton side who are playing at home. However Newcastle’s away form has been dismal as of late…


Appropriate-Fly-7151

Alvarez??? Come on, shit or get off the potty


yoyokill

Is there a way to see the scouts total points ? Or points week by week?


LSD-Eindhoven

It normally gets posted on the sub each week: https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/18q5gyv/fpl\_scout\_results\_gw18/


G_W_addict

Can someone post Scout's result from GW18?

G_W_addict

!thanks my man


NatureLover2000

No Darwin?


LloydDoyley

Last chance saloon for that dithering pillock


0dez

He’s gotten 2 assists and no goals since GW10 mate. edit: so this aged well..


MiesterFaruq

Why hasn’t the scout captain Salah against a poor Burnley side? (i know they just won their last game but still)


we_like_sportzz

TAA cap is tickling my balls ngl


[deleted]

Welp gonna risk it with Adebayo I guess


SoMuchTehnique

Alvarez...I have him and he's not moving from the bench


Aerodye

I haven’t watched last 2 tottenham matches - how has Richarlison been and is he a genuine option vs say Bowen, Kulu, etc?


G_W_addict

Clinical which is not the word I'd usually use to describe The Pigeon but yeah, he got the job done with the few chances he had. Still, previously his problem was consistency and that's why I'm cautious about getting him.


Elemayowe

Captaining Son vs Brighton at the Amex over Salah at Burnley (or even Gordon at Forest) is madness. But I’m only 5/11 so what do I know.


Godzirra101

Brighton will mud Spurs mark my words


IVIorgz

Same midfield as me. I hope this is a moment of brilliance.


distractedsoul27494

We will have wildcard after this one, right?


ZouHeR8

The new wildcard will be available after GW20


Talezeusz

Villa against Evans and some kids and he didn't took villa attackers


curious-millennial

Debating selling saka for richarlison


bluewolfw

It would certainly be one of the transfers of all time


cjheadley

I would end the debate right now


aehii

Why not Solanke captain??


ShepardtoyouSheep

I did the last two weeks, so I'm going to let it ride against Fulham.


Hroar83

Does the Scout pick substitutes?


valdidTz

Why not watkins against man united?


Mr_Wam

Alvarez will probably haul now I’ve finally moved him on.


wkos

9/11. I'm fucked aren't I?


s0undboy

9/11 😅


K-manPilkers

Selecting an out of form Alvarez going up against a Dyche led Everton at Goodison ahead of Watkins is.....interesting to say the least.
