The Technical Area – Assessing De Gea

Minimising investment in goalkeepers has long been a popular adage among seasoned Fantasy managers. Year after year, we find ourselves searching for budget offerings who offer the sought-after combination of clean sheet and save-point potential.

The wider meta, however, often runs contrary to this strategy – with premium goalkeepers such as Thibaut Courtois, Hugo Lloris and David de Gea consistently ranking among the most popular players in Fantasy Premier League in terms of ownership.

    How many accounts on FFS are actually bots, spewing misleading propaganda for the sake of ranks rises for their nefarious owners?

    And who/which ones are bots?

        It's a serious issue Debs, I reckon Billy Bonka is behind 2/3 of the accounts on this forum, hence his ability to control the markets, swing the prices, pick players for points, reach the skies, make the clouds rain.

      I am Spartacus.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        In the climactic scene, recaptured slaves are asked to identify Spartacus in exchange for leniency; instead, each slave proclaims himself to be Spartacus, thus sharing his fate. The documentary Trumbo[9] suggests that this scene was meant to dramatize the solidarity of those accused of being Communist sympathizers during the McCarthy Era who refused to implicate others, and thus were blacklisted.[

              I was brought up in South Africa. One learned very early on, that paranoia was, in fact, sanity.

                I was brought up in Glasgow. One learned very early on that being drunk was, in fact, being sober.

                  😆 I have spent a lot of time in Glasgei - I find it very congenial. When there, I am usually to be found in Sarti's. Sober. 😉

    Anyone else own both Eriksen and Silva?

      Myself.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yep. Until I'm sure of injury.

            I can't take anymore of this if Silva is injured. I have { 6 SIX } players yellow flagged since the start of the the IB. I already have one bench fodder deffender and I have to bench Otamendi .......

    2. Sidekick_08
      • 8 Years

      Me. Thought of getting rid of Eriksen, but now with injury doubts over Silva have to wait and see. Not sure whether to get another city mid or Richarlison.

              Easily. It's the whole team attitude - they are all like Busquets.

  19. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I just want to shed some interesting stats for you all thinking if Richarlison can be the next Josh King.

    When comparing the two players from this season and last season...

    1) Richarlison has better stats this season so far than King had at by this time last season

    2) Richarlison's average stats are still marginally better than King's whole last season

    3) Richarlison is playing on average 10 more minutes this season than Kind did all last season

    4) Josh King only beats Richarlison in the home games last season

    What is not to like with Richarlison.

      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He's not English so don't you dare to compare him to King

    1. Ramboros
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Joshua King did nothing in the first half of last season and his rise to fame came after a position change.

      I think people overrate Richarlison because of statistics, when he's evidently a very wasteful player.

      1. fedolefan
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        He's literally turned into a minimum of a goal a game player. Feeling very confident. Don't own Kane though. Aguero Luka strikeforce for me this week.
