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.
He fainted
He surely not playing at weekend...
Unconscious for 20 minutes, I'd say so.
Just seen this kun news.
Can't imagine he starts at weekend now.
Jesus may have a reprieve in my team.....
Anyone else think this??
See my dilemma below. I think I may sit tight, if Kun doesn't start this weekend then could be a lock for Europe next week.
At this stage last season, my TV was around 103.5m, and my rank was around 1.7m
Right now, my TV is 101.3m, and my rank is 347k
Points > Team Value
Let’s review after the last game of the season - when it matters 🙂
Last year I had high TV and ranked 2m.. this season high TV (103.7) 360k hopefully can improve more in next few weeks
Is that really the only factor in the difference? I’m sure there are others that have had the opposite experience.
Well lots of people are quite impatient with their transfers and chase the bandwagons to gain team value and therefore forget that points are the only thing that actually matters in the end
But we’ve not even played a third of the season yet.
What if the extra 1.0m means you end up with the extra points in the end when it really matters because of the superior squad you can build?
It’s too early to make conclusions...
I based the whole first half of last season on gaining team value, and I did awful for that first half, and amazing on the second half when I calmed down with my transfers.
Sure, you could argue I did better because I had a better team, but I think points should be prioritised over team value
20 points saved in hits or +2.0 mill on your TV?
Today I would take the 2.0 mill
I wouldn't 😉
Obviously 🙂 - but the extra money today can easily claw back points tomorrow. Great that everyone plays the game differently and at the end of the day it is for each player to make their choice and get judged by their final OR
The 2.0 extra in TV probably means you'll end up doing Hazard over Sane, or something like that 🙂
Points over pounds. Always.
No accounting for bad judgement 😉 - more likely that you can get Sterling over Brady 🙂
Or, in your case, Richarlison and Mee instead of Fabregas and Bellerin 🙂
Hmmm.
What ever works - Fabs and Bellers haven’t risen - Richar has risen though by .4 to give points and price rises for a potential -4 that would be good business ? 😉 😉
I think you've missed my point. My point is that extra TV doesn't inherently help you, it takes good judgment, too. So chasing TV is a dangerous game.
The example I provided for your current side (I clicked your link) was to point out that for 2.0 mil less you could have had Richarlison and Mee instead of Fab and Bellerin...and you'd be much better off. That 2.0, not well spent, doesn't do much for you.
I am not putting my self forward as some one who has chased TV, just interested in the debate - but if I sold Bellers and Fabs for Richar and Mee for a -4 I could spend the extra cash a get a serious midfielder upgrade or DDG plus a serious defender ... not a bad position to be in 🙂
And that's the other thing: for hits to pay off you are relying on perfect judgment and good luck. In most cases, I'd rather not start the week down four points, but that's just me.
Any latest news on Kun?
Funny you should ask that...
He read the news about himself on here and fainted.
Was looking at Luiz & Jesus > Lukaku and Daniels for -4 (captain Lukaku).
Still worth doing now in light of Kun news or just do the Luiz to Daniels move?
Wouldn't sell Jesus even if Aguero was fit
Lukaku not worth it for next two at least or waste of transfers?
Kane & Morata other strikers btw
not for a hit no imo
Cheers and think you maybe right, Kane a decent captain option.
Will look to upgrade Silva to Sane next week I think and keep Jesus.
Wouldn't do it this week or for a -4, but I definitely wouldn't have Jesus or Aguero in the long term in my team unless one of them gets a long term injury. Sane and Sterling are much cheaper, has less rotation risk and score more points. 2 out of Kane, Morata, Lukaku (or all 3 if you want 3 premium strikers) and 2 Man City mids is a much better option imo.
Yep kind of kicking myself taking Sterling out instead of Silva when I had both after wildcard. Needed Salah tho and went with Silva for his perceived 'nailedness'.
DUFFY THE BEAST
oh right goals for Ireland don't count in FPL
Duffy goal
Scenes
Poor from Kasper
Will I get my 6 points for that goal?
Duffy. 6pts. waiting for bonus... ireland up 1x0.
Duffy you beauty.
Coybig! Duffy
Why doesn’t Duffy do that for my fpl team?!
Duffy!
Now for a nervy last 85 minutes 😎
going for no2
Brady assist?
:p
More proof we need the 'Give me FPL points from non FPL games' chip.
Sell aguero or wait?
if this is anything like when he "broke his ribs" I'd wait
Wow wait man
Wait for what?
Wait for news obviously
What's the point in waiting when you can just make rash decisions instead?
Best Kun replacement ?
Kane
How bad was Phil Jones's injury?
Keep or sell?
I'm keeping.
Keep
Fit for the weekend I believe
in contention to return for the new game
If it follows the same pattern then he'll be fine come the weekend
His powers of recovery are second only to his capacity to get injured again
Keep unless Jose tells us otherwise
Cheers all
What is this Kun news people are talking about.?
Hoping for a reason to sell as have Aguero Morata and Kane, and want easy decision on Lukaku
Scout tweet
he collapsed/ fainted at half time and taken to hospital
Thats not good for him.
Trying to cover City with Aguero has not really worked. Now left without a pot to pee in
Sodding Aguero. Sodding City.
He fainted, he didn’t break his leg. He’ll be fine for the weekend
Come on, the poor guy could be seriously ill. Take a break.
You dont faint for nothing. At the least it something like bad dehydration or some suchlike which would require some rest
I don't get this. If you pick any City attacking player you know full well beforehand the risks involved.
Eh?
I was replying to the sodding City part.
Wow, Sergio cannot catch a break this season, hope it's nothing serious 🙁
Alright, own up, who cursed Aguero? This is getting ridiculous now...
me
Jesus' dad.
Chances of a Spurs cleanie at Arsenal this weekend?
Reasonable chance I reckon
Anyone else desperately want azpi but struggling to.fit him in ?
Most non owners I imagine
Nope. I'm happy with Alonso with less points for a higher price.
Is anyone considering playing a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1 formation....i'm considering it bearing in mind the value of midfielders this year....
What do you think of this front 8?
Eriksen Sané Salah Silva Sterling
Kane Abraham Niasse
Anyone lol'd @ Kun owners yet?
Be a rather dick move if they have/do
I would be more worried about all the Aguero owners now having the good fortune to pick up Lukaku before his hatty
You wait till RLC comes off the bench with a hat trick.
Thankfully not. But no doubt a few will.
Tbf you’re normally the one who does it.
Add the genius who is Chucky into that too.
And that idiot who acts like a seagull
Shame that there is nothing in the t & c's about banning pillocks
I would but if Aguero gets selected to be in the Scout Picks then you'll get banned for lol'ing @ him
Nice save Randolph
6 years, 5 months agoAguero starting tonight again for Argentina - any worry about starting at the weekend ?
