We check in with the Opta data next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek assessment of the weekend’s standout performers.
Huddersfield Town’s target man and a certain Liverpool winger both up their attacking potential ahead of a reduced Gameweek 31.
Meanwhile, big-hitters from the Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal midfields stake a claim for our upcoming Wildcards, while we also check out the impact of Chelsea’s new frontman at Stamford Bridge.
Cheers 🙂
Sold Kane :O
To King?
exactly what I did.
Lost .1 sv on Kane, season over
haha me too, really not damaging at all though is it 🙂
Just you wait until you’re 0.1 away from a transfer! You’ll rue it!
Cheers
didnt lose 0.1 sv on kane 😎
Rats. Pressed the confirm button on Kane > King, but it bounced back, as Kane just dropped 0.1 at that moment.
Do price changes always happen at 1.20 am on the dot?
More like 1.10 or earlier.
Any chance Kane dropping again 0.1 this week?
He is out until May. So he will keep dropping... but FPL seems to be pulling back any drops in a single week. Bet he drops again Saturday night (in the next game week).
What's the source there??
Conspiracy.com
Probably.
1:11
Cheers
Cheers TM. Good to have you back. Glad that other guy’s reign of terror is over!
Kane?
I thought flagged player's prices didn't change?
What what what? Kane ruled out until May??
Ankle too swollen for scan.
Really warming up to this Tosun guy, think he could go wild against Stoke with Coleman and Baines back in the squad.
A lot of question marks on him. Currently in my team but not sure for how long
I guess so, but the last two games, he just has to start a good option. I do mean for this GW only though, i woun't be bringing him in on WC.
I'm bring him for this gw only, hope he can deliver again. Need some differential for catching ML leader.
Yeah I drafted him in just for this week. A mini punt over Benteke
How does this free hit team look?
Butland (Lossl)
PVA Coleman Daniels (Schlindler Bauer)
Shaq Stan Mane Salah Zaha
Tosun Firmino (Benteke)
Not too sure on the Tosun love atm, esp with Siggy ruled out
Coleman+Tosun vs Butland+Shaq
I really don't see the benefit of playing now vs 35
Ya I'm not too bothered with that. Half my team will be playing each other anyways.
The only reason why I'm playing it is cause I only had 3 GW31 players and 1 is injured so make it 2. Wasn't going to wreck my whole team just to get 6-7 GW31 players hence the free hit. And by using the free hit, I focused my team on players like Mahrez and Mhiki over the past few weeks.
Evening,
Does anyone have the latest info on the DGW fixtures? I think there was s link to a spreadsheet previously? Cheers
Cheers!
Where would you spend 1FT?
2.2ITB will WC GW36 and no FH
Ryan/3.9
Alonso/Mee/Davies/Fernandez/VVD*
Salah*/Mane*/Hazard/Shaq*/Mili*
Vardy/Wilson*/Auba
Plan is Mee > Bauer and next GW Shaq > Son
Why Mee to Bauer? Would rather go for a Palace / Hudd defender instead
Why?
Cause I honestly dont think Stoke would keep a CS. Would go for PVA with attacking threat.
You just suggested a Hudd defender though?
I mean why not. They have to find a way to get points and if they can't score they got to keep a clean sheet. They did so last week against Swansea, I dont see why they can't against Palace. I'm just giving him alternatives instead of Bauer. I have Bauer and he's the last people I'll play this GW (As I already have Butland)
Hud rarely keep Clean Sheets... last week they benefited from a red card to Ayew.
Cant go for PVA no money for Son if i do that.
I will need Bauer for GW35 too,good home fixture.
Baines or PvA and why?
FH or no FH? Gone with Coleman and PVA myself. Would still go slightly towards Baines due to past history
No FH, but WC in 32.
Yeah I'm torn. PvA has done it in his last 2 games though, but Baines only had 1 showing.
Was considering Mahrez, Ogbonna and RLC > Stan, Baines/PvA and Pritchard.
Now considering Alonso, Ogbonna and RLC to Baines, PvA and Stan.
Dammit FPL.
Since you're WC in 32 Mahrez won't really matter. I'm on the middle regarding Pritchard. Yes he is a differential but over PvA hmmm it's tough.
Yeah Pritchard is a differential for sure, but will likely get him or Mooy. Already have Zanka.
Therefore I think it's probably best to get Baines. Even though I already have Shaqiri
Since all the teams are against each other I would just go for Baines. Like the Pritchard punt!
if i can get only one, who is more important Sanislas or Zaha?
Zaha has the tendency to explode or just get a 1 pointer. Stanislas depends on where Howe plays him. Would go for Zaha
Depends if you already have Bou forward cover in Wilson and King. If you do then zaha is an even better option
i think ill have Benteke and King for free and now need one for midfield for -4
Ah that's tricky then. Go for your gut since you have the forward covered in both teams. Decided to spilt the risk myself with Tosun allow me Stan and Zaha
Benteke dragged off at half time last game
Hence I've no intention to start him 🙂 Tosun + Firmino up front
Zaha highest score this season is 8 away to Leicester. He has 3 x 7pters all at home
Oh haha 🙁 Watching game play is scary though so he could just create anything even if Palace isn't playing well. While Stan really depends on how Bou is set up and the support.
That being said I drafted both in. Zaha was planned to be my punty option if he recovered from Injury which he did
Quick mafs 😆
Stan 2 double figure hauls in 1100 mins. Zaha has played 1800
thanks guys, look lik ill use coin 🙂
Everyone bringing in King who played 23 mins last week. Great move guys.
lol
and Zaha who played 45.
The fact that Zaha actually played 45 mins was comforting enough esp when he was rushed back from Injury. He also did pass the eye test with his usual stuff. I'm avoiding King on the other hand. It's hard to predict Howe's lineups.
I feel confident that King comes in for Mousset. Howe will likely start King + Wilson v WBA. But there is some risk there obviously! Zaha certainly starts imo!
He had a small knock...
You won't be saying that after his hattie! 😉
...or sorry, you will be saying that actually after reading it again! 🙂
Everyone is bring in Tekkers after his 45 minutes last week...
After 3 in for a hit I have 7 for this week. All at home. What ye think?
Robertson
Salah Shaqiri Stanislas
Firminio Wilson Mounie
( Walcott Kenny) hope for 9 🙂
I don't think anybody else is worth another hit but open to suggestions. Thanks.
You are done... unless you get a craving for 11 (I wouldn’t); but if you do: Baines, Coleman, and Butland in that order...Kenny doesn't count of course
K thanks. If anything I would be tempted to get Pritchard in.
But the sensible option is probably to stop at one hit.
I think Walcott is going to surprise people this week... Baines and Coleman should service him some nice crosses
If there is a decent chance he plays and I get 8 out that's great. Did nothing since I bought him. All forgiven if he kicks off this week. Definite explosive potential. Thanks again.
Also if he is possible to play no point in me getting another attackers anyway cause I can only field 7. So if i feel like another hit I will review your options above.
Draft League Question:
I have Salah, Karius, and Can for my Pool triple up;
But I can:
A) Keep Can
B) Transfer Can to Mooy
C) Transfer Can to Milivojevic
Of course, no Wildcard in Draft league so these are more than one week punts
Can't you transfer someone else?
Mooy and Mili are the best options. And I would be afraid to lose the other players: Mahrez, Sane, Kane, Jesus, Maguire, Mawson.
Who are the other 2 mids?
Salah, Shaqiri
Can has 2 hauls in the last 6 and great fixtures ahead I would keep should do at least as well as the other 2 options i think.
Although a few weeks ago Milivojevic was going to be my 31 punt. Not anymore.
Cheers Albrighton... No one mentions Can since in the classic league he is not a top 3 option; but with Firmino and VVD and Robertson taken, he is the next best option in my DL.
K. Anyway it's a DL and you got Salah so should be all good 🙂 🙂
I’m on -4 with 8 playing.
Butland
VVD
Stanislas, VLP, Shaqiri, Salah
Wilson, Firmino
Any of Zaha, Mounie, Baines/Coleman worth another -4?
There are good options but probably not worth another -4 imo.
Mounie could be worth it ,looks in great form.
Kane + Arnie > Tosun + Shaq (-4)?
Leaves me with 10 players but no keeper...
Like it.
Another hit worth it to get 11?
Hard to say without a team.
ELLIOT
VVD Daniels Schindler Mariappa
Salah ARNIE Mili
KANE Firmino Wilson
ddg* Mahrez* Sterling* Alonso*
CAPS = sell > Keeper/Shaq/Tosun (-8)
Sorry, didn't read it was a blank keeper.
Need the keeper to score 5 or more if WCing next week to be worth it.
Struggling to see any 5's.
Would either be Begovic or Butland
With United out of CL,triple United on WC with those fixtures looks tasty.
FA Cup still an issue.
Which 3 though?
Lingard,Mata,Rashford,Martail and Pogba do not seem to be that nailed on.
The only 3 that i would have any confidence in going forward is DDG,Valencia and Lukaku.
Sanchez does not look he is going to give any bang for buck at United so far.
I'm considering triple Utd defense
DDG, Bailly and another
Yeah they're playing such good football. Sanchez Lukaku Rashford?
Whats the latest on Walcott? Will he play this week?
He will probably be ok but Big Sam should be able to tell us more in the press conference at the end of the week.
Think he just had cramp at the weekend
Would you go with Mooy or Pritchard as a Huddersfield differential? Which one of the 2?
Bit of a coin flip between Mooy, Pritchard and VLP i went with Pritchard just because he was more of a diff if that helps.
Thanks Ogie. 🙂 Yeah I agree. I've had Pritchard in mind for a while, but Mooy's return with his role in set pieces is quite tempting.
Mooy... on free kicks and corners
Best option out of these for the team below?
A. Lingard > stanislas
B. Kane > Mounie/ benteke etc etc
C. Alonso > Baines
Lossl
Vvd Coleman mariappa francis
Salah shaqiri Pritchard la parra
Firmino
A
A+C and bench Mariappa
Noting wrong with a -4 this week if you ask me.
This move would be for a hit. Just need one as already have ten players
Would you bring in Baines for a hit and bench Mariappa? I think Mariappa will probably get 0 pts this gameweek.
Pickford
VVD Schindler Mariappa
Salah Shaqiri Walcott Stanislas
Firmino King Wilson
Pereira Sterling Otamendi Tarkowski
Nah. not worth risking -4 for a player that might not get a CS...
Baines should be on frees and corners and perhaps penalties too so there is a chance of attacking returns
Mariappa nearly scored last week... he comes up to the 6 yard area for corners and free kicks
Go for it at worst it is probably a -2 and at best Baines gets that pen or an assist and gets double figures.
I am in the Coleman camp though so i will be rooting against him. 😉
There's no way I'd do Mariappa > Baines for a hit. Madness.
Plan was to WC in GW36 but with Kane injury coupled with Ayew suspension, its looking tricky now... Sigh!
Missed the Kane drop, but he's sure to drop again before GW32 rolls around.. With that being said, who's should I bring in for him before WC'ing in GW32?
A. Tosun
B. King
C. Mounie
D. Benteke
E. Punt on Rondon
EEEEE
C
Didn't catch it earlier. So, Am watching replay of Man U vs. Sevilla Champs League on FoxSports2 (in the U.S.) - 54th minute or so and still 0-0. And what do I see scroll across the bottom of the screen on said network showing said game? The motherfookin' result of the very match. I miss the world when it wasn't so full of Gdamn idiots.
That sucks
Is kane really out till may??..I'll have to transfer him out before he falls again
Kane's absence will really make the run in exciting. A lot of early WC's after 31 maybe.
Yes ,some variations in the squads will be seen
Some google Android notification used to pop up and tell me scores before I had seen the games. Guess it was based on my football searches or something. So annoying. Turned the notifications off
At enlightener
Everyone WildCarding week 32 after getting as many week 32 players in whether thru FH or transfers?
Gw29 for me. Worked well so far but should have pulled the trigger in gw 26 or 27. wasn't thinking clearly about it. Planning for 31 for weeks was brutal for the rank.
Just assess your squad and do what's best for you. Dont worry about "everyone"
Would you recommend Tosun for a -4? Will be -2 essentially and a differential in my ML...
Depends
On wildcard and free hit status
Will wc in gw32. Fh gw35
Thanks man that clears it up
Accidentally hit post. Shit phone 😀
Well you'll lose 2 if he Blanks. Gain 1 if he assists. Gain 2 if he scores. Anything more seems fairly unlikely but not impossible. Also it's not actually certain he starts imo.
Decent punt though. I'd probably rather king and mounie
Yeah I think that's spot on actually. Got King and Firmino upfront. Cheers mate
No worries mate
Stephen Hawking RIP
🙁
RIP ..hope he now becomes a part of same cosmos he so lovingly studied
a relatively dark moment in the history of time, RIP
Dont know why people cant give even condolences with respect and proper use of words
Proper and full form use of words*
😆
I don't know why people can't even give...
ah, I give up, but a very reckless post I must asy 😉
Meanwhile he actually did less in his post than the people that posted R. I. P.
Is it really safe to assume that they don't want hawking to rot in peas? I think not!
OMG
Stephen was an icon of our time and a great teacher.
I have fallen asleep countless times listening to A Brief History of Time,it is one of favorite bet time story's.
People like Stephen Hawking and Richard Feynman have been able to use there great genius to make the complexity's of mother nature comprehendible to lay men like myself.They have opened up vistas of my imagination that i will never truly understand but are still fun to imagine.
*bed time
Very well said. Both those guys have played a huge part in my passion for scientific inquiry and thirst for knowledge.
Who to get in for Kane as just a GW 31 striker?
Mounie, Tosun, Benteke?
Or do Arnie to Mane?
I'm thinking Tosun as a punt for a week
Which would you rather?
VVD, Salah, Firmino and play a 2, 4, 3 formation with 9 players and a -4 hit....or
Mane, Salah, Firmino and play a 3, 5, 2 formation with 10 players and a -12 hit...
Correction, the second would be a -8 hit, not a -12 hit.
This is all confusing. Take who you will get with your free transfer out of the equation and just put the remaining moves and their point cost
It is confusing. The reason being is I have Firmino and Salah and Klavan. I would like to get Mane but that would cause a -8 hit and leave me with 10 players. My question is should I just do -4 and trade Klavan straight up for VVD? The other players I have are: Daniel's, Walcott, Shaqiri, Salah, La Parra, Firmino and Wilson. So with VVD it would add Tosun (or Mounie.) With Mane it would add Ake and another defender. Klavan is the problem and I believe 3 Liverpool are a must, just not sure which way to go.
Ah right. I'd probably get Bauer or baines in for klavan and then get mane and captain him
I can't, I'd be getting rid of Sterling and Klavan and that would only leave me with 4.0 for a defender. I'm fairly stuck. If I could just do Mane and a defender I would, but I also have to do another defender with more value to afford him (Alonso.)
I see. So sterling is your only non blank mid. Are you wildcarding gw32? Keeping klavan (lovren and matip have been shit while he's been injured) and not taking a hit is a real possiblity.
3 Liverpool aren't necessarily a must though. You have to consider it from your own position. Klavan starting is more of a possibility than you realise I think (30% is my made up probability) and you gotta factor the - 4.
Still I would do the above. Captain salah if you want of course.
I agree, however, and I believe you are right about Klavan...I've had this thought as well. I'm trying to crunch numbers and guess correctly. I just feel that Mane's underlying stats show he is due for a big game week. And if Liverpool get rolling and smash Watford then there are three possible double figures with Salah, Firmino and Mane. But it's all an if. Just trying to guess the right guess. I'm 134k overall and topnof my ML by 20. I'll be wildcarding in 32. I will be Captaining Salah because I know that my competition will be as well.
Yeah, Mane does have a very high ceiling. Go that route I reckon. -8 bringing in mane and two thers that play 31. Worth a punt for sure.
Thanks for the input. It's hard doing it as I'm usually conservative. Sometimes you've gotta race though, for the fun. Plus I don't think this game week is going to make or break much. I should be investing more time on my wildcard choices for 32.
No worries mate. With definite 0's in your squad and a wildcard the following week it's as good a time as ever to punt on some hit gambles.
I played wc in 29 so am attacking this week different to most. Have 2 ft and only using one of them.
I saw, I looked up your squad prior to taking your advice.
Haha
Good luck...Mane here we go....maybe.
Hi lads,
What is the status and real chance of Walcott playin this week?
Thx
Cramp.
There is only fake chances until the press conference but I'll gladly make up a number for you. 85%
It's very quiet on here, so this is probably a silly question but:
Any Sanchez owners about?
Are we sticking it out now, or moving him out?
Don't own but I'd sell without a second thought. So many great midfield options in much better form for much cheaper. Sometimes you gotta be patient but sometimes you gotta be ruthless
I might downgrade and get in Lukaku for the run-in instead alongside Auba. Soon as I sell him, he'll prob start firing though 😉
Always the way innit 🙂
Don't see a reason for sticking tbh. You can swap to Mahrez, Son, Mane, Mkhi, Zaha or someone else..
Why on earth are blankers rising?!
Those casual early free hitters are going to ruin our WC plans now with their early WCs. ffs.
Its perfect testimony to how more and more random fpl is getting due to high competition between most of 20epl teams. People who dont check news can easily get in top 10k provided they jump on all bandwagons.
If casuals are getting them in on WCs, then that's not why they're rising - pretty sure it's just about confirmed these days that WC transfers don't count towards price changes.
People without WC buying players for 2x double game weeks before a price rise, rather than buying a rubbish GW31 player that you don’t actually want ? Not such a bad idea when you look at some of the hits people are taking on here for players in 31 🙂
Not everyone is following FFS group think 😉
