Hold your FT.
Mahrez could easily play next game and Fulham play a tired Burnley after Europa match

You missed the Mane boat..

I’ve just bought hazard for Sanchez. Losing pens would seriously dent his appeal but I think he’s the main man and will want to keep them

Hazard will be on pens when he’s on the pitch.

Should be after Wilson's last effort.

C

Depend who else ya got. Pedro looks to be a player who will only score a goal not a haul and Chelsea attack is looking unsettled with Haz hovering for a start.
If no Auba then Mkhi a great choice.
Dilva looked sublime against Hudd but will get rested. Depends who else you have from City.

B for me

I both fear and expect Bilva to get rotated this gameweek. A hunch I have. So I ended up going with Bilva- Mkhi for - 4. So my take on your option is obviously Mkhi!

------ Hamer
Mendy Robertson ------ ------- Wan Bissaka
Salah Richarlison Fraser ------- -------
Aguero -------- Kamara

Which combo do you think is best?
A: Hart+Alonso+Pereira+Mane+Bernardo+Wilson
B: Hart+Shaw+Pereira+Maddison+Bernardo+Aubameyang
C: Ederson+Pereira+Peltier+Mane+HudsonOdoi+Aubameyang

Will a boy ever be born who can swim faster than a shark?

Why 42 ?

Good effort there.

Nice to see somebody looking to help others rather than constantly asking for advice without any of their own contribution.

Just got Auba in. My only Che or Ars player. Can't really afford any Chelsea assets atm.

I also enjoyed a good start. I will save a transfer and have 2 for GW4 to get Chelsea/Arsenal coverage. Thinking of holding off a wildcard till GW9 now.

As late as I can.

I find it bizarre that people who are happy with 7 or 8 players are pressing the button.

WC will be used when needed. There's nothing out there suggesting I need to overhaul my team.

3xCity, 2xLiv, 1xChe, 1xArs, 2xCry, 2xBou and Richarlison.

Hennessey. Think Bilva still has potential

But not tonight. 🙂

If J0E owns him - then 2pts. Curse of 'Jonty' (now J0E) will strike again!

2 most probably

2, chelsea struggle there.

I’ve just bought him so 100% chance he will get 1

What do I win if I'm right?

Salah would have been worth more than £13m last season.

You are paying 13 million for the best asset in FPL history, even in a game in which he played terribly against Palace he got 9 points. He is also top of the xG chart and has underperformed so far.... he's going to be a beast again it doesn't matter about the value for money as if you captain him often, which we all should, then he will easily be worth it! On for about 250 points minimum this season imo.

303 was an outlier. He doesn't need to match that ppm for value, although still a fair point in general

Maybe not 10 per game but having his type of consistency for cpt option alone is worth the 13

Obvious answer is if you paying 13m for one player, then you need to be captaining him most weeks. If not then you should look at how spreading the money elsewhere might benefit the team. Can't see Salah matching last season's total but he will still haul in easier fixtures. I think the key is selling him at the right time but also having a plan to get him back in if he hits form and has good fixtures given his high ownership.

U also need to dad value of having a raliable Captain choice against almost any PL team.

Quite simply, he's was underpriced last year, correctly priced this year.

Players start at 4.5 Million you have to take this off first before you make the calcualtion

Poor stats.

It’s not about being the same value as last year as last year he was grossly under valued.

It’s about wether he would be still good value at 13m if he hit the same points as last year. In which case he would still be great value.

No one expects Salah to provide the same value as last season.

Salah was way undervalued last season. Let’s take Kane for example...thought to be the best forward in the game the last couple seasons. He ended the season at 13.1 and put up 217 points....16.56 per game. So if we use him as a benchmark Salah only needs to put up 215 to be of similar value. I’m pretty sure he’ll put that up +40-50 more. His value as the top scorer in the game is second to none.

Interesting reading, but IMO as soon as Salah posts a big score (which could conceivably be GW3) this debate will be dead and the narrative will be back to whether Aguero is a rotation risk.

Instant gratification

+5?!

This rating system is really helping the cream rise to the top.

I am on A

Reply fail for Classix

Mane has scored 2 open goals and an offside goal so far and isn't on penalties, he won't outperform Salah all season imo. Ditch Mo at your peril!

He is priced at the point where we have a really difficult decision whether to own or not, which suggests they have got his value right imo.

Didn't stay with him, doing well. Don't need him. Many good players out there.

Is not as simple as that.
If you captain him when he hauls against weaker teams and have a great alternative captain pick in the tough matches then he could easily be worth way more.
With a player like him value is fluid, not fixed. If you get more captaincy decisions right than other rivals then his value is worth more to you.

for those who've been playing the game long enough, does this discussion bring back memories of Ronaldo being priced considerably higher than most other options, yet providing monster returns for a few seasons running**? (**statement based on no data whatsoever, rather on my sometimes dodgy memory)

no

Set aside for Champions League/Europa lge qualifiers

Yep, 9

yes at 9pm

b

A
Both nailed

Looks passable seeing they all scored this weekend.

Can't have them all. Strong team

At the moment that attack is doing a job so not to worry especially seeing as defenders and midfielders largely bringing in the points atm. Although I expect that to change fairly soon...

Alba has sucked a bit of money out of the C's.

You watching Hook?

pva?

PVA is always a good shout

PVA, attacking threat and great fixtures

pva ofc

I have PVA but I'm tempted to punt early on Bellerin too

No.

Haha exact same here.

I’m leaning towards it. Especially since I have Kun and Mendy, and no Arsenal. Will move for ederson next week.

Your team?

Can see the appeal, but don't really think that transfer is a pressing necessity....

I got a bad hunch Bilva will get rotated this weekend. So I ended up doing that move for a - 4 tonight, before Mkhi goes up in price and Bilva might go down.

I would

Not mad and quite popular, although I don't understand.

I wouldn’t, bsilva could easily score more than mkhi and about as nailed at the mo

Well they mean relatively.

Leave them talk themselves into transferring him out, they’ll regret it

Seriously THIS!

Aguero & Mane won’t score double digits every game.

From my experience, 95% of people on here are fickle and stupid! Ha!

Kun average 11 points per game and £2m cheaper.

This

I’m on exactly the same thought train, I’ve done this

Yep bought him in last night.

Hard to fit him in with Kun, Salah & Mane and I don’t see any reason to drop anyone of them just yet. But Hazard could be a very good option too he’s definitely on my watchlist.

Couldn’t possibly go without him...

I have.....just brought him in.

yup, looks lovely and cheap

last year’s form after that game is a huge worry

Looked a lot better last game, but held him for 14 wks last season and still not over it.

Who did you replace?

He has the ability to be an absolute steal at 9m over the season. Think it worth waiting to see how Hazard fits into the team before I consider him.

I also have him, looked confident at the weekend, took his goal well and had a decent effort from outside the box tipped over the bar.
Sarri Loved to play to Higuain's strenghs, Meertens only became a CF once Higuain was sold so I'm hoping him and Hazard will both be getting games.

Tomkins imo

Who would’ve thought

Long may it continue. Will make my defence selection very easy....

No surprised by the Cardiff stat

Cardiff could really do with a goal this weekend. Otherwise they might equal Palace's 7 games without a goal start from last season.
