FPL Friday Open Thread
mini-DGW starts today with Leeds fixing Wolves
We have another five-day game weekend ahead with a double for Leeds and Southampton. If you’re not a subscriber on the paid said, you missed the early week pick-ups from Leeds, the Saints players who are on their last legs (six straight EPL losses) and the announcement that I’ve started to play Sorare.
I’ll write an Open Thread on Sorare next week but if you’re looking to dip a toe right now please use this link. If you stick around and purchase cards in the auction you and I will each receive a gifted “Rare” card. The first gift I received is worth about $50 in the open market so it is definitely worth using the link because you’ll get a gift card as well (we each receive the reward once you’ve purchased five cards at auction).
As always this is the thread for your question on draft, OFPL, Sorare or anything else. This is the streaming part of the season and options like Josh Maja (Fulham, 40%) need to be added and injured players Solly March (41%) and “Justin” James Justin (46%) need to be dropped in all leagues which do not have a ‘keeper’ feature. For what it’s worth, in keeper league I would try to add March - especially if you have a INJ roster spot - and in dynasty format I would absolutely add Justin who made a massive step forward this year and is quite young. Young enough to recover from a potentially catastrophic injury.

Finally, Edouard Mendy is only 60% selected, has a soft Saints side during their DGW and Touchel just confirmed he is the No. 1 for Chelsea. There isn’t often GK advice on this so when I tell you go add and start him you should listen! Who else are you thinking of streaming this weekend? Let me know in the comments!



Gaffer, I've been offered Mahrez and RLC for Castagne and Eze (Togga scoring) and wondered what you thought of the deal? I've already got Ricardo Perreira and Gabriel Jesus my end
Good afternoon Gaffer! I’m in an 8 team OFPL redraft League. I drafted Ziyech & Pulisic right before Tuchel stepped in to crush all my hopes & dreams. I tried trading them for 2 weeks but couldn’t get anyone to bite and now nobody will even go near them. Top guys on the wire look 2 be Jota, Lookman, Gross, CHO, McNeil, McGinn, Neves & Greenwood. How would you play it?
Also a quick Sorare question. What initial investment do you think it would take for the average fantasy fan that can’t afford to spend $1k-$5k per card in order to get started, have fun and b competitive?
As always thanks for ur time!
