We continue our Gameweek 11 retrospective with our regular members article. This time around we check in on Chelsea’s in-form Fantasy assets, Liverpool’s Samba stars and Charlie Austin’s form since nailing down a starting role for the Saints.
The one time I make an early transfer...the one time...
Don't do early transfers.
The frustration of a player getting injured is far more infuriating than losing out on a price rise.I know. It was a rage transfer.
Ah the meanest kind
I was going to do Payet to Hazard before last week, didn't do it. Then on Saturday night I was just like "F**k it, I'm doing it now!!". Ah well! I'm okay with taking a hit for next week
I disagree you will win more often then you lose, with early transfers.
You lose Sanchez for hazard?
Sometimes you can't afford to wait
What happened??!!
Sanchez to Hazard last night 🙂
Nice. I did Payet to Hazard at the weekend. Absolute clown that I am.
1st sub good enough to cover Alexis?
11 day before Arsenal play again. Sanchez should be fit by then?
I feel like not getting Firmino in for the Sunderland game onwards could be damaging.
So save this week (injury permitting) and then...
A) Lukaku & Redmond ➡️ Austin & Firmino
B) KDB & Redmond ➡️ Sterling & FirminoA
Need rest of your squad.
Heaton
Pieters, Evans, Stones
Walcott, Coutinho, De Bruyne, Redmond
Agüero, Costa, Lukaku
Bench: Robinson, A.Smith, de Roon, Amat
£0.4 ITB
a
I think I will give Lukaku the goodbye armband this gw.
But who is his best replacement?Looking at Kane personally
Do u think it's too much to have Kun-Costa-Kane?
Yes,
Costa, kane, lukaku would be my max.
Yes for now (with the way the mids are performing currently)
That's an amazing front line and will return guaranteed points each week. I guess it's really a question of how you balance your midfield and defense when you have such a costly attack. Your current overall TV will influence who you can get in those positions. It's definitely an option though.
With that frontline I could have
Foster Pickford
Koscielny >5.7 Brunt Pieters Amat
Hazard Coutinho Gundogan Snodgrass CanYeah, that looks solid enough. I say go for it...!!!
My only worry is no Arsenal cover
Costa/Kane/Ibra. A lot of choice.
Giroud.
Thoughts about Kun-Costa-Kane frontline?
Austin if you don't have him already. I'm looking at a frontline of Aguero, Austin and Costa, affordable and doesn't cripple the rest of your team.
Looking at similar but kane over aguero.
Kun-Costa-Lukaku currently.
I think Giroud could be great punt. If Sanchez is out for a few weeks, he could show up and earn his place in starting 11 even when Alexis is back.Big IF, + Sanchez always likes to rush back.
I'm definitely thinking about Kane as a long term replacement for Lukaku.
Do you think it's too much to have him alongside Kun and Costa?
At the end of the day, you pick the players who give you the most points per £. So, no.....as long as you can balance the rest of your team to get sufficient returns from them.
Cheers
Options for me are A) Ozil and Austin or B) Siggy and Giroud
Kane Aguero Austin I'm sipping Lukaku after the Swansea game, it's sad he's done well for me but Southampton fixtures!
*shipping
What concerns me is that he scored 2 or 3 goals against Soton at SM's last season.
He might punish but Southampton's back line is good maybe he might get 1
Giroud
Don't do early transfers.
The frustration of a player getting injured is far more infuriating than losing out on a price rise.More often than not, it pays off with regard to building SV in the 1st half of the season.
International breaks and CL midweek games obviously increase the risk.
Getting an injury is basically unlucky. It will happen a couple of times over a season after an early transfer so worth the risk, imo.I never said it was a bad idea.
Just the infuriation risk is higher haha
Waiting for tomorrow, but still want your thoughts:
Sanchez, Coutinho, Hazard, Redmond and Gundogan
Kun, Lukaku and Keane (3-5-2)
Should I go for Firmino instead of KDB as I already have two City players and only one Pool?
Been a little out of the loop today. Got a notification from TheScore about Alexis injury. Do we know the extent of the injury?
If he's out for the trip to United could be a another -4 🙁
its 2016 so theres loads of different reports all catching fire on twitter, officially he not ruled out of 2nd international game yet so lets be hopeful
Then I just hope he misses the 2nd game too and is fine for United.
IF Alexis is out its spin it up time
Alexis and Diomande out Boufal and Giroud inHow about Alexis to KDB?
already got him
But you would get him if you dint have him right?
not if i had kun i wouldnt
Really! Then what would you do? I already have Hazard, Firmino, Coutinho, Remond. Don't own Costa or Kaku but not really keen getting one of them right now.
Would that be shifting back from 3-5-2? Boufal would be 5th mid?
nope gundogan would be
In that case it's not ideal
Better punts than boufal
Eg pedro, chadli, gudmundsonn, mata, arnie, siggy.
Can I just get a general feel of everyone's overall rank here please?
80k.
85k
Ah ok so similar I'm 88k
I'd like to get to know you better first.

Not having Firminio sent me down from 7k ...annoying

So let's be clear. Sanchez to Hazard tonight? Or wait for injury news.....?
Would've already done it
fair assessment....just wanted to wait and see who got injured during the int break......just my luck....
Why tonight? Sanchez not dropping, Hazard not rising.
Sanchez might drop
Hes -65% on fplstats. Is he dropping that fast?
He was on -56% an hour ago
Not likely, at 65% at the moment
Not likely but could happen
People are strange, he's not even declared out for the next premier league game yet, and huge sales already.... Oh dear.... KDB might go up tonight, but I doubt they've all buying because of that....
People were selling for Hazard even before the injury.
Yeah but the sales have suddenly increased now, those arrows that they have on fplstatistics, it's three red arrows for Sanchez now after the injury news whereas before that it was only one...
Not tonight mate!!! Wait for whenever Haz rises or Alexis drops, you'll get more info on the injury in the coming days!!!

Wise man. Latest news. It is NOT a tear. Confirmed by Chilean medical staff.
At the start of the season there was talk of WhatsApp groups and posters moving to a different platform. Any update on how that's going?
And remember all the fuss over the FPL show Mark was doing and FPL Facebook advice. LolWhatsApp group? Really?
TFF's whatsapp group is brilliant. Love it
What's the group? Have I missed a trick haha
At the start of the season some people felt FFS was getting overcrowded so made their own WhatsApp group
So it's so running. How many unread messages in a day?
Notification sounds off I presume! 😀
I didn't know you were on the group!
Will Sanchez drop in price before the next GW for sure?
I'm on WC and his SV is £11.3, so I may as well transfer him out now, maybe try and catch a KDB double rise? And I can always get him back at £11.3 (assuming he does drop) before the next GW if he is fit?My guess is he will drop 0.3 before next gw
Even now he's flagged?
Could drop tonight
What is the story witht he yellow flag? will that not slow down his price changes?
Although we bought him at 11.0m so our SV is 11.2 atm.
Need some advice here. My current midfield is
Sanchez / Hazard / Firmino / Mane / Allen
Sanchez news is a big blow. Best replacement?
Thinking either Pedro or KDB or Coutinho - which would mean triple Liverpool and a little risky tbhI am between Ozil and KDB
What Sanchez news are you talking about?
I really like the idea of 3 pool mids!! If I had room I think I'd do it
Ozil or KDB for Sanchez?
KDB
Any particular reason? I agree he is in better form but he also gets played in different positions whereas Ozil is always the number 10
Better form, better player, and if Sanchez (that's an IF at the moment, nothing is 100% yet and he's still got almost 2 weeks time to recover from what seems to be a minor muscular injury) is out then Arsenal attack is not that appealing...
Chilean press say it is a muscle tear. This is going to be bigger than a two week thing.
The Chile FA also said they hope he will be available Tuesday. Until confirmed it is all speculation and nonsense.
Yeah I posted this above:
http://www.latercera.com/noticia/alexis-no-viajara-colombia/
It is NOT a tear. Confirmed by Chilean medical staff.
Fair enough, I'd wait as long as possible though, to get a confirmation...
Best midfielder up to 7.9?
Walcott
Lallana
Allen
Snodgrass
Pedro
Redmond
Siggy
Gundogan12578436
In that order.But you missed out mata.
Pedro is the in-form choice at the moment, Lallana has the fixtures...
Pedro is like the slightly chubby friend that your sister has. You know it's wrong and you shouldn't but you probably will anyway.
Oh yeah I ain't going anywhere near him (her)!!!
Walcott or Lallana till GW14. But I'd love to make shift to Pedro/Willian or Siggy from GW15 fixtures are tasty for both!
I have Milner. It's nice and comfy. I'd get Theo if I could afford him though ofc, not sure I'd prefer any of the others
Thoughts on this week's team guys?
Pickford (Mandanda)
Morgan Keane Evans (Holebas Francis)
Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Soggy
Kun Lukaku AustinGood
I predict, 0 points this week
Hate the Soggy pick
I'm going to be watching Walcott's price like a hawk
Can't believe he is £7.8m now
Tony B
Liverpool are tracking FC Rostov forward Sardar Azmoun. At this stage he's being watched as they consider their options ahead of January.
Opinions on this WC team??
Pick Heaton
Nyom Pieters Friend Stones Kignsley
Hazard Wally Firm Cout Snoddy
Kane Costa Anichebe
Any changes??
CheersShaqiri to...
A)Snodgrass
B) Save FTI have him and expect him to be back so B
B
What kind of maniac has Shaqiri?
What's wrong with Shaqiri?
He scores about once every 13 games.
When will Granville use his wildcard?
I'd imagine it's active now
Ask this on the scout cast
No scoutcast this week 🙁
Maybe he's just played it !
He said on Twitter he's watching the U.S. election results tonight.
Weird obsession
The arsene Wenger of FFS - voyeur
The scoutcast guys are personal heroes of mine 🙂
We all love FF but come on ...
Woke up to the news that Arsenal's traditional November is well and truly up and running. More injuries to come this month then...Note to self: avoid Arsenal's assets.
https://twitter.com/AFCAMDEN/status/796107494783328256
Told #afc have been informed that initial assessment is Sanchez could be out for 6 weeks. needs to be confirmed by a scan. GulpAlso read the replies saying he is a fraud and different reports coming from Chile.
Alexis out frees me to take a hit for KDB heeeheeee
International break + Donald Trump being president this week could push people over the edge.
Delicate timesImagine if we were out of the EU as well.
...and Sanchez got injured
Trump will be a has been tomorrow.
So if Sanchez is out why nobody talks about Ozil-Gru combo? Remember last year?
Because it hasn't been confirmed yet
To get the players I want, I have to compromise on a Liverpool or a Arsenal mid.
Can Lallana or Walcott keep up with their more expensive teammates?Walcott yes if fit/nailed, Lallana no.
Is Walcott nailed?
Why are you ruling out Lallana? Jonty has him, for example.Because Firm/Cout/Mane are miles better options. Don't care if Jonty has him, why is that relevant?
Because Jonty is an FPL expert. Dur.
Why not just copy his team then? I reckon I'll beat Jonty this season and I'm probably a noob in your books.
Btw Lallana isn't a bad option in the right context, but I don't really see a team setup where Lallana would have to be an option over the better LIV mids.What's a noob?
Thanks for the Lallana advice, man.Newbie 🙂
Deeney>Costa worth a hit ?
I'd say so, yeah.
I'm scared to go to bed and sleep. I can picture myself in the morning, waking up and reaching for my phone ... I go online and refresh the page ... And I see the headline "Trump elected president."
(And that Sanchez has fallen by £0.1m)Son replacements (albeit for a hit)? Still got him and hate losing all this value. Already got Hazard Coutinho and Firmino.
I hate Son.
