      Does that make him a born again virgin? Can't say I'm surprised since he's in the same league as Jesus.

    100k fantasy managers have transferred in Gabriel Jesus this week - actually, in the space of just one and a half days.

    Now, depending on which camp you're in, your opinion is going to be either; "That's a very short term move, don't they know about the blanks?!" or "Did you see him play v West Ham?!! The lad looks awesome and Man City are clicking right now ahead of Swansea and Bournemouth".

    There looks to be a very real split on here of those jumping onboard and those not even considering because they're focused on GW26 and 28. Just take a look at Lukaku's net transfers this round (a player that is similarly priced to Jesus); while 28k have transferred him in, another 25k have transferred him out. I'd like to see one of the Scouts have faith in Jesus so that this site is truly representative of the community (it would also be a great Scoutcast discussion).

    In the past, perhaps Mark or Granville would make the maverick move while Jonty plays it more strategically, but seeing that Jonty is already well prepared for the blanks, is Jesus a luxury move that he might make??

    I'd also like to know if those transferring out Giroud and dismissing Jesus, saw the West Ham game or to a lesser degree, the Crystal Palace match in the FA Cup? Watching that game it struck me a bit like that Vardy performance last year where Mark and Jonty both immediately transferred him in.

            A little tongue in cheek with Costa's comment, but yep, I hold the view that Martial looks like he's playing in 3rd gear most of the time. He's been dropped hasn't he?

      just posted on previous page, I was in the lucky position to be able to punt on him for the next 3, then either bench or transfer him to carroll if I really want an extra player in gw28, I don't think pep will change the momentum that's building (wenger would, welbecketc) so even if aguero comes back in he will try to accommodate jesus as well

        Yes, I think that Jesus will play in a left wing / inside left position v Swansea with Aguero back in the side. They'll rotate along the front 3 when in possession so it isn't a negative like say, Rashford or Martial stuck out on the left in Mourinho's rigid formation.

      De Jesus may have emerged but that doesn't mean Guardiola has changed. He'll still rotate players out unexpectedly. And that includes de Jesus.

        I agree that he's not going to play 10 of 10 games, but 8 possibly? I think a crucial factor is the Swansea, Bournemouth, Sunderland fixtures in 3 of the next 4. With Aguero, there will be a huge pressure to sell ahead of the blanks, but perhaps Jesus at 9m is benchable?

          Depends on the rest of your squad, how many United and Arsenal you have for example and whether you want to bench them in GW26.

          I think a better case can be made for having Sterling or especially Sané myself. But not with 3 blanks in the next 5 games as it looks.

            I think another factor is how many strikers are people clambering to own right now? Kane has now blanked home to Hull and Burnley and away to Sunderland. Ibra has had 2 attempts to break open Hull and failed. While we have many options in midfield, where are the strikers stepping up?

            If people have teams full of Arsenal and Man United players (I only have Sanchez), then definitely the common sense move would be to move these on for players that don't blank in GW26, but I doubt GW26 is that much of a concern for most. Perhaps we're planning too far ahead if we're allowing GW28 blanks to cloud our judgement now? Lots of points to be gained between then and now surely.

              GW28 will very likely be less of an issue than people are assuming. So I agree about that part. The best course of action will be to arrive in GW26 with 2 FTs and wait for the FA Cup results.

              GW26 is more defined, however, and that's why I suggested that it depends on the rest of your squad. Personally I have 2 United and 1 Arsenal so adding a City player for 2 games followed by (probably) 2 blanks in 3 weeks doesn't appeal. But in your situation there's more merit to the idea.

              I'd still worry about Guardiola's rotation and I'd still prefer Sané if I were taking a City punt. But maybe that's because it's been a long time since I had 3 strikers, I have been set up for 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 most of the season.

                I'd be all over Sané or Sterling if my midfield had an available spot but with Giroud being an obvious transfer out candidate this week, then taking care of that and taking a hit for a Citeh midfielder (to potentially taking another hit to transfer out...) loses the attraction somewhat.

                With Pep taking off Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling early vs West Ham, it's looking like they'll be back in against Swansea with Sané or Jesus missing out this time around (assuming Aguero starts this one...!). Perhaps Fernandinho also comes in for Yaya.

                  This is the thing with Pep, you just can't predict it. The last time he left a fit Sterling out of the squad completely was after subbing him out in the previous game.

                  Boiled right down, in your situation and with Giroud to replace then de Jesus is a good choice - some risk but a big upside potential. The alternative that I would consider is Deeney who also has no GW28 as it stands. The options with confirmed GW28 fixtures - Llorente, Rondon, Carroll - are all very meh.

                  So, you have my full permission to take that punt! And good luck with it if you do. 😀

                    I made the move last night, so perhaps I'm trying to justify it slightly 😉

                    I can't recall such a great FPL season. I like taking the odd hit here and there yet I'm still hovering around 10k OR. I can definitely recall some moves that I failed to make to improve on that but I'm sure that's the same for everyone.

                    It just feels so good that players are having dips in form (from an FPL points scoring perspective), so dullard managers are not having it all their own way this year.

                      I played the first 10 weeks too passively and it has taken a while for me to recover. But hovering around 20k for the last few weeks (16 points behind you) so at least I'm in some kind of shape.

                      The next few weeks will be interesting, getting the balance right between the awareness of the blanks and the focus on the 'normal' gameweeks will find some out I think.

    As Say What article stated, Pep Guardiola found Jesus.
    He brought him home and believed in him.
    Jesus didnt let him down.
    So now Pep is more convinced that he is right.
    That his decisions are right and Jesus himself is confirmation of him being right.

    Aguero is the like ancient FPL god. Many believe in him when most are afraid of his punishing hauls.

    But those belief have no confirmation in really.

    Old people still believe in ancient gods and they just cant accept the new order.

    And the new order is that Jesus is no. 1 until he keeps scoring, working in defence and performaning like he did.

      • need some help guys pls.
      • need either a Bournemouth mid or Swansea mid, priced below 5.0, as a bench fodder which will come into the team in gw 28.
      • was thinking about Fraser or Surman for Bournemouth OR Routledge or Fer or Caroll for Swansea.
      • the problem is that Caroll and Surman seem to not bring attacking returns whereas Routledge/Fer/Fraser seem subject to rotation, but still I think that Fraser remain the better option as he seems nailed on by Howe.
      • i would like to know how much is Fraser nailed on also.

          he will be a bench fodder until gw 28 where I want a mid priced below 5.0 with potential attacking returns. Given that Bournemouth will be home for gw 28, that is why I reckon to have Fraser as a good cheap differential with potential attacking returns.

        Not worried about using up an Everton spot, either. I have Coleman and Lukaku, and the only other player I'd really want is Baines but I cannot afford him. Their midfield doesn't interest me.

        Holgate had a poor first half during the week, but most are putting that down to inexperience and having a bad day at the office. Everton fans expect him to start at the weekend.

      Do Arsenal really have so many injuries? All apart from 2 in your lineup look like 1st choice players to me.

      I would if I had him but I am going for Goalman instead.

      I figure an Everton clean sheet is more likely with Wilson injured

    So if I understand the navigating blank weeks article correctly, we should not transfer players in for this week(24)and next week (25) so that we could have 2FTs correct?

      Transfer in which player you like, just bare in mind that he might have a blank GW28 (and GW26 if it's ARS/MCI/MUN/SOU). As long as you plan your transfers and make sure that you atleast have 11 players for GW26 and enough players for GW28 (about 7-10 is average around here) then you should be fine. 🙂
      No need to stop all your future plannings just because there is blanks coming up.

    Morning all

    How am I looking here? Think I'll be taking Jones out for Funes Mori today. I was considering Bavies but was swayed by some very helpful advice from the community in that Bavies is a transfer out waiting to happen whereas RFM covers me for ages;

    Jaku / Randolph
    Alonso Jones (will be Funes Mori on ft) Brunt / Pieters Amat
    Alli © KdB Antonio Sanchez / Fletcher
    Ibra Kaku Rondon

    Thanks!

      I had a similar idea when I brought KDB in for Hazard, but really, just take it week to week and save some transfers. Hard not to like the idea that mainstream players won't go near him for this run of great match ups coinciding with him really showing good form again as City turn it on. Great if you need to make up some ground.

      At least for GW 26 could simply be easier to stash him on the bench for GW26, especially if Haz is still sucking.

    So I currently have only 6 players likely to start in GW26 and just 2 players likely to start in GW28, with Capoue being one of those.

    GW26: Nyom, Eriksen, Alli, Capoue, Benteke, Carroll
    GW28: Nyom, Carroll

    With that in mind, would you:

    a) hold the WC for the later DGWs and take hits for GW26 and GW28.
    b) WC in GW26, ensure 11 starters in GW26 and GW28 and then use FTs to bring in future DGWers in the weeks to follow.

    It sounds like GW37 will be the best week for the BB (which leads to a GW26 WC), but with b) you'd still have 10FT from GW26 to bring in DGWers.

      I reckon ppl are overthinking gw28 weve just seen that supposed plum fixtures for top players can still result in blanks, I think as everyone will only field 5/8 players in gw28 we wont lose any ground and therefore it would be best to save for the dgw
