This Much We Know – Gameweek 9

Not all knee-jerks have a happy ending as some surprising (and some less surprising) rotation decimates our teams and makes a mockery of our benches.

Harry, meanwhile, has a magic moment at Wembley as we find ourselves listening to the winds of change.

Here’s my take on the lessons learned from Gameweek 9.

Sometimes we can be too clever

If patience is a virtue, it is not one possessed by the average FPL manager.

And this was the Gameweek that reminded us that for every hit taken buying and captaining Romelu Lukaku before his four-goal foray (my luckiest move last season), there’s any number of occasions when our tinkering can cause more harm than good.

My “Skeye’s the Limit” line-up was one of 200,000 sides which took one look at Mohamed Salah’s short-term fixtures and, perhaps blinded by the iridescent riches on offer at the promised land in Manchester, decided it was time to ditch the “erratic” Egyptian.

Almost twice that number were exasperated enough by Dele Alli’s recent dry run and unpalatable schedule to move him on and, once again, I have to admit to having my head turned by a certain David Silva’s glittering performances for the champions-elect at the Etihad.

Captain Hindsight now shakes his head as my armband choice, Raheem Sterling, is auto-subbed in disgrace. He allows me no respite from his disdain when I point to David Silva’s clean sheet point and proffer the Match of the Day highlights which suggest – to my desperate eyes at least – that it could easily have been more than that.

I’m no clown and I won’t back down, but, like many this week, I’m cursing my surrender to the pursuit of fool’s gold.

Pep has a formidable bench, so we need one too

When six of the top 20 scoring FPL players are wearing a Sky Blue shirt, it is perhaps a little unfair to refer to Pep’s players as fool’s gold.

Yet between 2.01pm and 4.50pm, Saturday’s comments were full of contrasting emotions for those of us who had dared to dream that we had sussed Guardiola’s team selection.

The German word ‘schadenfreude’ (meaning to take pleasure in someone else’s suffering) is an apt description of the behaviour of many a troll, but also encapsulates what we have come to expect when we load our teams with the free-scoring and defensively sound City stars.

Undoubted “freude” (pleasure), as Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane and Nicolas Otamendi helped continue City’s ruthless and relentless run towards all manner of new records. But also a fair share of schaden (damage) as those who had brought in and captained Sterling or Gabriel Jesus (or both) were left checking their vice-captaincy and, later, ruing Jesus’ brief cameo.

So is the answer simply to bring in the three scorers?

For a combined quarter of a million managers already this Gameweek the answer is a resounding yes. However (with the possible exception of Otamendi) surely we cannot keep playing the Etihad hokey cokey and wasting transfers and points when it seems that every City player has a part to play in Pep’s masterplan. There’s just no way of predicting whose turn it will be from week to week.

Indeed, many of us would be better served getting our benches sorted out because…

It’s horrible when you can’t scrape a side together

Ben Davies and Phil Jones remain in the top five scoring defenders of the game, albeit sharing third place jointly with goal machine Nacho Monreal (whose last league goal before this season came five seasons ago).

In Gameweek 9, however, we were treated to a combined one point tally from the pair, with Jones hobbling off in an all-too predictable injury scare and Davies forced to sit alongside fellow wing-back Danny Rose.

We seem forced to scan press snippets and forum rumours in an attempt to unlock the complex managerial speak and ascertain whether our players are likely to turn up.

It is, therefore, no surprise to note that Jones and Davies (and Eric Bailly) are the most sold defenders ahead of Gameweek 10.

Whether or not you intend to continue to put yourself at the mercy of Mauricio Pochettino’s whims or Jones’ fragile limbs, it seems we need to prepare for disappointment. The key lesson I’ve gleaned is that if I am to gamble on City’s ephemeral delights or injury-prone defenders, I need to sort out my bench.

It may be mainly psychological (after all, your bench players by their very nature are rarely going to score heavily), but the frustration felt at having just one active substitute has stirred the need to ensure that never again will I be knowingly understaffed.

Desperately ringing around to find last-minute replacements for those whose Saturday night exertions render them “unfit” is a scenario which must be left in the local Sunday leagues.

And perhaps by dealing with my deadwood, I’ll be less likely to tinker away more points from my big hitters.

Kane silences his Wembley doubters

One such asset now likely locked in our squads is Harry Kane, who comprehensively ended his Wembley duck with a 16-point masterclass against an obliging Liverpool defence.

Whether the Spurs striker represents value is a separate discussion. However, as an explosive captain (or vice-captain, for the 12,000 who had the foresight or fortune to back up Stirling’s captaincy with Kane) and an assured starter, he is surely peerless.

But arguably Kane can’t be labelled fixture proof just yet. In fact, when it comes to his opponents, we perhaps need to dismiss the regular rules. Bournemouth, Swansea City and Burnley all produced that alluring dark blue on the season ticker for Spurs and yet yielded a total of just two goals.

Liverpool, in contrast, seemed a more testing opponent. And yet their own attacking ambition, coupled with a disastrous defending, appeared to play into the hands of Spurs and Kane.

With 15 goals conceded from five away matches, perhaps a travel-sick Liverpool are just the new defensive whipping boys. West Ham and Stoke – their next two hosts – will be the ultimate test of that theory.

Is the four, or even five, man midfield back?

Barely three weeks ago, we were spoilt for choice at the premium end of the striking scale with the likes of Lukaku, Aguero, Jesus, Kane, Alvaro Morata and Jamie Vardy locked in a Golden Boot race. That threatened to force us into an expensive 4:3:3 formation and to hell with points per million.

Almost inevitably in what has been an unpredictable opening to the season, many have already brought in a “value” third striker, such as Tammy Abraham, Mame Biram Diouf or Shinji Okazaki, and reinvested in midfield.

The high-end options, like Alexis Sanchez and Eden Hazard, are possibly showing early signs of recapturing last season’s breathtaking form, but there are also consistent performers one level down in the aforementioned Alli and Salah, a myriad of Manchester City marauders and the 26%-owned Christian Eriksen.

Cheaper still, Watford’s Richarlison could have been leading the midfield charts if he hadn’t left his scoring boots (and, er, head) at home against Chelsea. Behind him team-mate Abdoulaye Doucoure and Brighton’s Pascal Gross provide an even less expensive ‘in’ to the top ten midfield scorers, with a plum run of fixtures to boot.

Personally, I saw enough of Everton’s defence this week to keep faith with Vardy for at least another week and get that bench of mine sorted (cheerio, Mason Holgate and Nathan Chalobah).

But it is undeniably a fascinating season of shifting strategies, however poorly my own campaign is faring.

        I think they both start, it's all about who is subbed first 😉

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          *think being the operative word.

          Haha... Sterling says hi o/

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero unless he starts tomorrow, then maybe Kane or more likely Salah

    3. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero, Kane and Salah are on my mind

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez for me

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      i think morata

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I think not.

    6. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If Jones doesn't show up it's between Harry and Morata ( yes Morata) for me.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I fancy Morata to do well.

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          When he's at full fitness , for a big bloke he's got great pace.
          I think he will score plenty if he stays fit and Chelsea don't completely implode.

    7. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If I own Agüero by then, him. Else Salah.

    8. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kuntheman(c)

      If he plays a load of minutes tomorrow, I'll consider Morata or Salah

      1. bojack
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Do you think it's Jesus tomorrow and rested again at the Hawthorns?

        Seems that way to me.

        Looking forward to seeing this City side in the flesh Saturday anyway.

        1. Robe Wan

          I though my pep already said Kun is playing tomoz

          1. bojack
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Apparently quoted as saying he'd select an all new XI.

              That costs $1bn

          6 years, 5 months ago

          Would be a good time to reassess Man City assets after the Pulis mob have tried to kick the shite of them for 90 minutes. Bound to be a few injuries. Enjoy the game. ☺

          1. bojack
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            What do you mean?

            It'll be City trying to kick the shite outta Rondon as he dances his way to a hattrick!

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Yes Aguero can't be spoken in the same breath as Rondon and Chadli makes David Silva look useless.

        3. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Would be very surprised if Aguero didn't start against Wolves. Prime chance to get the record in front of a home crowd.

          Enjoy the game mate!

    RP for those who missed it

    Hazard owners , read this before getting rid.

    https://amp.independent.ie/sport/soccer/eden-hazard-backed-himself-to-score-against-bournemouth-35607614.html

    "You have teams that you know before the game that you can score, or that it's your team," said Hazard.

    I know many may not believe in something like this.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I deffo don’t I’m afraid

      Maybe adds a 5% psychological edge

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years

      I think he probably knows better than anybody which players/teams he gets the better of.

    3. The Mandalorian

      Chelsea don’t have Kante and will be pushed back by a resurgent cherries

      He is due a haul tbf.

      I have him in a shortlist for a one or two game punt before the wildcard and as we all know he can gets huge scores at certain times of the season, timing is everything with Eden.

    Has the writer WC’d? Surely he hasn’t wasted two transfers on sorting his bench.

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years

        Fair enough, I just don’t see how those moves are worth -4.

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      i did the same , Wimmer + Mbemba out , Dunk + Edwards in ,the former can cover nicely for Jones if he's out while the latter is a 4mil low risk punt for the future

  5. GuillermoDickero
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any Brighton fans....

    Hemed to come back into the starting XI or not?

  6. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Uniteds goal chances have dried up like a Mexican drought and so to has their goals. Jose knows this to. Good luck with Lukaku, without a fully fit pogba the team goal output always suffers.

  7. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    My team is:
    Elliot - Foster
    Bavies - Jones - Yoshida - Naughton - Long
    Salah - Silva - Sterling - Ritchie - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Mounie
    2FT - 1.0M itb

    Which should I do tonight?
    (A) Ritchie, Kane > Richarlison, Aguero
    (B) Bavies, Sterling, Lukaku > Otamendi , Richarlison, Aguero (For -4)
    (C) Something else?

    1. jimbo_smells

      I like B - very similar to something I am thinking of (except with Salah as I already have Richarlison)

    1. DaddyPig

      I think so, Rose is sniffing about and he’s not being picked currently. I’m a Spurs fan and I’m ditching unfortunately.

    2. Virgil Hilts

      Not tonight, but one day this week

  13. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Once in a while, I make good decisions.

    On Friday Aguero was due to rise and Jesus was due to rise about Saturday/Sunday. I had 1.0 in the bank, Aguero was 11.5 prior to rising and Jesus was 10.5 in my team, so I either could make the move on Friday or wait till Saturday's results and hope Jesus rose in price so I could get Aguero at 11.6.

    Theoretically, the logical idea was the latter scenario of waiting, but I figured that if Aguero started and scored, and Jesus for whatever reason happened to be on the bench, Jesus would not rise in price, and I'd be screwed. So I made the move and got Kun.

    And now I am about to get a Kun double rise in the span of a few days, while Jesus fell from 89.0 to -85.5 on fplstatistics.

      How many hits have you taken this season? 😆

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Depends if you're referring to the -4 types of hits, or the physical toll that I am taking on by playing this game.

        1. bojack
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I took over 100pts in hits last and did shite.

          This year I've only took 8pts and guess what? I'm still shite!!

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            They had a survey around midway through last season on FFS about who had taken the most hits, I think I comfortably won by around -40.

            I told myself I wouldn't take any this season 😆

            1. bojack
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              I say that every year 😆

              Bring back the summer DZ, the possibilities were endless before a ball was kicked or a RMT was dusted off 😀

      Salah more explosive than Silva and just as nailed on

    Which is better:
    A) Davies to Otamendi (Rotate RLC and Carroll on fixtures)
    B) Davies and Carroll to Duffy and Richarlison (play Richarlison, bench RLC)

      Same dilemma for me - have Silva, Sterling & Jesus. Want Salah. Think I'm going to lose Silva....

    Sterling and Davies to Coutinho and Ward -4, Solid moves?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        dont worry about the hit, dont need players that dont play

    Anyone here ever got the highest points score in the game any given week?

    3. skriniar

      Pardew is without contract, maybe good option

        I hope that's a joke.

  25. Tommyg

    Pep and rotation need to get a room. He really is wedded to the idea of it.

    Here's a link to give you a sleepless night...

      What even... if he does this in PL I don't even want to think about how many pages we'll go through.

    2. Virgil Hilts

      11 changes promised... but Bernardo and Aguero set to keep their places.

      Err, ok.

    Done Davies to Otamendi. 1 more FT:

    A. Cresswell to Yoshida

  27. Zareos
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which option would you go for this GW? I will be bringing in Richarilson, the question is whether to make another transfer for a hit?

    A. Davies to Otamendi (-4), or
    B. Play Davies (v United) but with Fernandez as backup (v Arsenal)?

    3. MikeDuff

      B. Spurs could easily keep a CS if Mourinho deploys the bus

    Any suggestions?

  29. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which move is the best here ? 2ft.

    a) Davies/Alonso and Luk to Otamendi and Morata .
    b) Luk and Chalobah to Morata and Richarlison.
    c) Both for a hit .

    Thanks a lot guys.

  30. Viper

    Is it madness to lose Alonso when I also have Jones Davies & Mbemba.

    I need to make up 0.9 to do Mhki - > Salah and Alonso - > Otamendi seems the best way?
