Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Brighton

Me too. I can see STK giving NEW a bit of a beating. Think they may this season's surprise team.

I hope you're right! 🙂

Yep!

*Clark hedge*

Yes foster will get a clean sheet because I benched him.

I'm a Foster over Fabianski kinda guy

Me too

The ticker doesn't rate the City defence as highly for that game compared to the attack. I guess they haven't updated the values much since the start of the season to adjust for the new reality.

Team news on the tab above has him starting this week. I suspect Jags has fallen down the pecking order with the arrival of Keane.

They went with 4 at the back & 2 holders, pecking order I guess

Hmmm...this is an interesting one.

Gks: DDG needs to be Foster

The D: I wouldn't have 4/5 of those Ds. Keep Lascelles.

Milfs: Phillips and Romeu need booting.

Fwds: nothing much wrong here although Chico makes no appeal.

I have it that 8 of your team could be improved so I would advise a WC. Good luck! 🙂

WC. Too many issues to sort out

Hold wc, if Chica blanks, off load him with Vardy. Next, upgrade Phillips.

Thanks. I think it's time for the wc. Too many little problems to fix. I'll wait till the games are done tomorrow though, a chicharito brace or a Dawson header from a Phillips corner will change everything.

Vardy could say dividends; Leicester's fixtures not looking too shabby.

Think Kolasinac and/or Bellerin could be fruitful over the next three or four (after Chelsea tie).

noup,just phillips to Gross,next week upgrade defence

Dunno, citeh didn't hammer bri & bou so there's some hope

I watched the WAT/LIV game and I thought neither defence made much appeal tbh.

However since then, It is obvious that the manager has got a hold of them and improved them at the back. I'd wait till WAT fixtures improve again.

CTY look like they will score goals all over the park so it is hard to see a cs.

Agreed

Solid 2-0 away win I reckon

Marco Silva is the boss. Ofc City will have a tough game.

Watford to finish above Everton.

I don't think City will go nuts. They'll win, but not by 3/4/5-0

How do you find out?

Ownership is overrated

Pre WC: 20.18%
Post WC: 16.65%

This is only starting XI

The ownership tactician man announced he was quitting fpl already last week.

The actual question is... Why get Gross?

By the time this GW is over, you'll want a different transfer most likely

Check stat's comparison, 1 is way more attacking

I'd rather have one of these 5.5-6 mill wingbacks than have Gross. BRI will struggle for goals all season long. Avoid.

Probably Carrol.

spend the money on bavies instead

I would say get rid of Carroll.

Honestly, I have no pity for those who make transfers for the sake of 0.1

I could understand if it was straight after the last games of the week but why do this???

He might drop in the next price update

He's not a troll, you made the transfer. Remember this and don't do it again.

I chickened both Stephens and Suttner to drop -0.1 and Bavies to rise +0.1. Delta was 0.3. And no price changes arghh

for 1m less you could get Maguire for Baines who is arguably a better option

Bavies, Danillo, Terence Trent Darby

What a backline 😛

Would rather Keane over Baines, and really would like to see some semblance of form from Everton first. Other three are great though.

Thats pretty lefty 😉

Hmmm, next week it's erm... Naughton, Clark, Davies... looks better on the fpl team page! 😆

I'd be very surprised if Baines keeps pens with Piglet and Siggy now in the mix.

Just sayin. 🙂

Arguably the best backline is

Kolasinac Davies Alonso Mendy

No one else

Not sure on Baines otherwise great!

Mendy ,Jones, Kola, Davis 🙂 🙂

Bellerin is most nailed.
tThe only way I see Kolasinac being dropped is if Arsenal revert to a back 4 and Monreal plays left back...

This is the issue. I am hesitating over him for the same reason too.

On saying that, he has made a case to start every game with his goals. Hard to see him being dropped one would have thought.

Some are paying 10.5 or even 11.5 for such cases, 6 is nothing 😛

Kola will probably start every game from now unless he play full game in Europa

Might bring him in this week as an upgrade to Bertrand

Provided he starts, he is a very good option.

Is he good at accumulating BPs?

Feels like 3 of those games can be 1-0 wins

If your happy to be frustrated with 70 min appearances and 20 min appearances. Gooddifferential but think he'll be rotated

I've had him since GW2 (replacement for Zaha)

He won't return every week but he'll pop up with the odd goal and assist. He is fairly attacking. Happy to hold for now.

Have him since GW2 & pretty happy, always involved when he's playing, and in fairness he's only 7.0.

Rambo is playing badly

I do really like a couple of their picks but I don't think they're going to score many goals consistently to warrant their price tag (Mahrez and Vardy) imo.

I doubt they'll win the league again, but they look better this year. They're on my radar for GW7 onward.

P.S. Maguire is a centre back. 🙂

I'm monitoring for now with an eye on Simpson at 4.5. Not too sure about their cs potential mind.

I brought in Mahrez this week as a nice differential. Hopefully delivers. They have got their bad fixtures mostly out the way early.

Vardy looks a great pick... Maguire also & Simpson is easy on the budget. Not a Mahrez fan as he lost penalties to Vardy a long time ago. If Mahrez was 7.5 or 7.0 would be more interested

WC = 354
TC = 4
BB = 2

Wow, a lot of FFS off to a poor start this year.

Then save.

Save.

Ah it's been a long time LR!

No immediate transfers needed, with 0 itb I'd probably save the FT so you have the flexibility next time

when in doubt, save ft

Mkhi->Eriksen is the obvious one. Laca ->Firmino to make it happen.

Save for now

You still have 14 players to play this game week. Relax and enjoy the football.

Half an eye on Mkhi to Son if he looks like he's nailed.

No

No

Nope

I'd probably trade ddg and Dawson for cheaper players and raise cash to upgrade mounie next gw

None of the above.

B

Mee terrible + gonna drop down tonight

Naughton

Clark good fixtures as well as Naughton

Watford have been very good, I fancy Kiki over the 2 mentioned above

Very very slim

Dawson

Bertie>Keane is a tempter

Bertrand is on thin ice with me. Southampton look pretty awful.

So far so good

Asset*

If Alonso blanks and Harry goes mental you know the moves

Firm>Jesus but I wouldn't with no other pool assets.
Ali>kdb is best bet but you need to find more money.

I don't think a city attacker is essential. Points will be shared about. Downgrade Ali to silva could be good as it gives you more money but silva was very deep against Liverpool and didn't score any attacking points in 5 goals.....

Jones to 4.0
Brady to Sterling? He gets points off the bench and will start games soon I think, but would only do this for free

Could be! Coutinho more likely though.

101 for me and I think I'm behind most on here.

Don't worry about TV too much, it's a nice to have rather than essential to success

Ignore TV

101.6m here 😎

Looks like the market is returning to normal...a lot of WCs gone, far more transfers actually counting towards price-rise.

Rosenior got a run out last night, Mbemba could play the odd match

There aren't very many good options. Mbemba may come back in now, so worth watching. Rosenior also worth monitoring after he started last night

Slim pickings. Mbemba at Newcastle possibly.

Thanks lads just need to get rid of a bench fodder who dropped price

How many free transfers you got? Otamendi to alonso perhaps? Check if hegazi is a starter anymore this weekend, many suspect his days are up now

Hegazi is the first to go, then i d try to find a way and get Kane. Hegazi -> Dunk / Mee for now seems ok

I thought about transfering Hegazi. Its about time.

Roll to 2 transfers, then hopefully it's a case of just small tinkering. I have very similar and have 2 ft this week, watching Foster's form closely with an eye on Gomes; Jones may get dropped soon as rojo is getting closer to a return.

Nice team
