Monitor – Charlie Austin

Sterling? Naughton?

Kane > Gayle/Bojan/Defoe

not sold on Cazorla and both Bellerin and Baird may not be nailed..

also JWP may be a better 5th mid than Boyd

could have done entirely without the 3rd act but the cinematography and sound design were brilliant

Reported.

Star Wars Trilogy?

Too many feels man, too many feels.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson and I disagree with you, Contact anyone? Hello?

Dave, I'm not sure you really wanted to say that.

you mean a lower division team parked the bus at home!? 😯

yeah we weren't great 😐

Suppose the third division team didn't rattle in a few goals, like last time.
*small improvements are important *

Practicing penalties.

Hi there!

Got 1 more week

Why? Not like you're missing any price rises

Log into FPL.

no next games are on 1/31

Trippier? Poor fixtures soon. I like your defence apart from him.

Lack of Hazard might hurt you in midfield and I'm not a fan of Elia, can't see him being a good pick. The rest are good, maybe try squeeze in Boyd as a 5th mid?

Falcao? Don't be misguided by fixtures 😉

A puntastic team Arvin, I like it a lot actually. Though two things for me are clear, for me that's a bit to much investment in the front and at what cost? Well, opting for triple Arsenal at the expense of triple Chelsea is unbecoming, imo.

The direction for your team is great, though like Innsie pointed out, Trippier is a waste of funds right now. That money could be used sparingly in your midfield for say-a cheeky Marney upgrade to JWP and your bench would be improved tenfold. To not disrupt your rotation, any of Swansea, Newcastle or Villa could replace your Burnley slot.

Now for the midfield, I feel Elia is one punt too far for sure. Yes, there are cases of the odd manager smashing down previous statistical history for a given player, but with a player like Elia I think he's proven to be dead weight on every team he's set foot on. These 2 goals and his conversion rate these past two games are an anomaly in what has been a horrible career. He'll be marginalized on the team when Mane's is back and I'm confident he'll produce Bolasie esque return in the sense that's he a great show, but produces minimal points for an FPL side. Fwiw, he's a horrible finisher, perhaps he could be a great option later on when Pelle start finishing chances and both Mane and him are on the XI.

So Elia to Punch/Moses for me here, and they're both great options at the moment. Plus, they're still differential material, so it still sticks to the theme for that spot.

Cazorla and Sanchez is more than enough Arsenal attack, imo. One more is a bit misguided here, I see your intentions, but I feel this move won't pay off the end. Chelsea attack I think warrants the better investment here or even a Stoke/Palace attacker. Albeit, with Cazorla in-form, Sanchez and Giroud all fit and firing, this could be quite the future endeavor with this great run. Not to mention, Wally coming back adds a new dimension to Arsenal's playing style. In any case, I think when Wally's back will be the time to invest heavily for their attack, as I feel it will benefit Giroud the most out of the three.

Great Falcao pick, looked extremely promising vs QPR.. This could be a great time to invest in him, can't realistically see his dire-form last too long. Perhaps this one goal and this great run is all takes for Falcao to start gaining momentum in England.

It all really comes down to a Giroud downgrade for me Arvin. There are budget forwards in abundance and good ones at that, many with low ownership, all ripe for a spot on your side. I'd take a gander and run a comparison tool between any one of Austin, Bojan, Gayle or Defoe and see what you come up with. Form there, I'd rearrange the funds and invest in the midfield or/and a better defensive pick than Trip

Fwiw, go with your gut on this, you know what you're doing so your judgement and your line-of-sight to the top is what matters most.

I'd hit that.

Is he rising in price soon? I'd probably wait, there are a lot of games still to come before the next GW.

Monitor price. If price going up/down, I'd go ahead and jump, otherwise wait until other matches are over to make sure nobody hurt.

Forward and Giroud.

You mean as your next player after three big mids and two big forwards?
If so, I'd go with Cazorla and then the flavor of the month budget forward for the third

LOVE it.

Good for them!

I'm actually thrilled for them, that's awesome

Incredible. They were so happy after the draw today.

Everybody hurts number one for me

Sigh....

ummm, survey says no.

Created a couple chances and had a couple on target shots which is an improvement but after wc last week I reckon he's out after this gw for me

No, imo. Only person worth investing in from United is Falcao imo. Maybe Jones. Both are punts at this stage.

Already got it. 🙂

PVA, Wisdom, Wollschied

Fixture difficulty always.

ADM then swap.

I'm giving adm one more week. Although it's beginning to sound a lot like Baines earlier in season... Just one more week...

Larsson? I prefer Puncheon and Elia to Larsson.

I personally wouldn't have Austin in my WC either.

Otherwise, it looks alright.

Pretty decent. Front 8 can all play every week atm so yeah I'd think about saving the cash for a future upgrade. Different people think differently, but I prefer having the strongest XI I can and cheaper back ups.

Berty of the two.

Bertrand for me. Man Utd just look average, but are keeping clean sheets I guess.

Interesting call that, a lot down to how you perceive both teams will end on the table by the end of the season. Also, Berty and a Saints defender is standard, you can't go wrong there. Though Jones is interesting in the sense that United are looking cleaner in the back this half. (6 goals in their last 10 league matches).

Plus, he's technically and statistically been of United's best players this season fwiw. In any case he's a strong pick and is playing for a team who will hold more wight in the standings than the Saints by the end of the season imo, Sooner or later the emperor will have a disciplined formation and team by season's end, my head says United will finish the season with a bang and the Saints will shrink later om

Save FT

No one is essential, especially Man Utd's players 😀
Keep imo. Assess Maria's performance against Leicester and then decide....

Is he nailed on? Apparently, took more shots than Bojan against Leicester 😀

That sucks Innsie. Reds on fire, although the jets aren't the tightest at the back!

I like it. Maybe get a more attacking 5th mid. if you can afford.

Looks good (and v similar to mine below!)

What's the thinking behind keeping Downing for them fixtures? Presumably he'll be on your bench most weeks - perhaps better to downgrade and use the cash elsewhere?

Looks good.

Do you plan on playing Wisdom?

A

i like A out of those

A) .. but i dont really like Clichy
