Is Daniels gone forever??

No. Your defense is fine. Pray Shaw recovers. If he's out you're in the same spot as I am and need a replacement.

Decent defence, if Shaw is out it's likely to be for a week. Bennett or AWB both have reasonable fixtures this week. 0.5 ITB could prove pretty useful in the coming weeks IMO

No one can sell Hamer as good option with Lossl back unless you want to run with 1 keeper

Patricio - wolves will come good over time and a fantastic shot stopper
Hamer - dunno but cheap
Maddison - lively, good stats should be in amongst it if Leicester do well
Ings - literally the only soton player who looks like he has a goal in him

Patricio - Wolves defence good stats, reasonable fixtures, looked impressive

Hamer - First choice before injury, Lossl played well when on as sub but poorly since then.

Maddison - Impressive attacking stats last match, fixtures improving, Set pieces, Vardy returning to offer more assist potential for him

Ings - Hughes backs him so a likely starting budget forward, decent attacking stats, 18 points from 4 games so far

Presumably this is partly to free up funds? Out of those Brooks would be the only one of interest, consider Will Hughes of Watford as an option, he seems to be playing in a more advanced role this year. If this is going to be a 5th midfielder unlikely to ever be used there are a few 4.5mil playing mids that would possibly give you more funds to upgrade elsewhere.

Gets to matchday, all goes out the window 🙂

Not Consided Patricio, Maddison and Ings

I like it.

I did wally to Pedro and giving Mikki one more week can easily shift him to Richarlison after

You are venturing into potential points per million spent ratio :p

I would love Hazard. But not enough $

But on the above ratio. I believe it should be quite tight

Both please

Having both.

Aguero, Salah and Hazard for me.

B

Note: Rico or Bennett would be subs

Begovic is trash. Owned last season. Doesn't make enough saves if they don't keep CS

I'm considering doubling on Wolves defence. They have nice home fixtures coming up

If u need desperately to ditch 5 or more then WC time. But personally I would use one transfer this week and take out Peltier or Gunnar to playing replacement so u have a 2nd sub as may as well use carried over FT. If u still have lost patience come Saturday night the. Active wildcard, use fpl stats and get some price rises and get the team you would be happier with for Gw6

I think you might want to consider a 3 FT move to bring in Hazard + Player X + Player X for a -4. Don't WC - you have the core of a good team here. You also have lots of options. Who might you want to bring in with Hazard?

Come on ! This you can easily check on your own .

Suspended for 3. Missed Rotherham, Huddersfield so far. So I think he is back this week v West Ham, kidding, he is back for Arsenal away gw6

What do u mean?

It's fine now! Opened scout on diff platform to check.

Depends for who...

Yes, almost regardless who for except maybe Salah > Mane imo to fund it (I don't have Alonso but this is my only way to get him)

He's been worth a -4 every week so far.... SO....

Salah,Hazard

Mane and Hazard and 2.5m spread elsewhere. who’s afraid of the big bad wolf. No Salah, no fear (yet) lol

I choose Hazard and Mane

No Salah means Mo Mane (more money)

Salah + Hazard for me.

C for sure

C

Or Salah, Mane, Hazard, Fraser
Aguero, Wilson, Quaner

C) for me. But do Salah and no Mane.

Top 10 then

Wilson
Daniels
Ake
L.Cook
King

Next 5.
S.Cook
Begovic
Surman
Fraser
Stanislas

Next 5.
A.Smith
Gosling
J.Ibe
T.Mings
Mousset

I like the list but I feel there should be a place for Giggs.

Hahahaha.

I’d probably go
Shearer
Henry
Cantona
Ronaldo
Bergkamp

Gerrard
Agger
Dalglish
Xabi Alonso
Salah

Scholes
Henry
Shearer
Suarez
Terry

Bednarek
Peltier
Awb
Bennett
Schelotto

Kaku to Ings and all the little boys can grow up

Pereyra to Fraser kepa to 4.5 and upgrade somewhere else. Also need either Mane or salah really

Refreshing different. I like it.

Who is this ‘Mandy’ character you are so keen to have? Is she good?

Fab or Patricio or bego over Ederson.
Fraser over Pereyra
Honestly I’d go Vardy over Laca too.
Or could go Deeney over Laca and have hella money

Sorry I was just looking at team 2 there

3. Could you possibly do a team with all of Aguero, Salah and Hazard?

Begovic is junk. Even though I think Hamer will lose his place to Lossl no point having 4.5 paired with Ederson. TAA and Mkhi need to go on a WC. Mitro ok in forwards you need premium like Kun/Lukaku/Kane

Oh you're asking if you should WC? I would've last week for reasons mentioned above

I really like this team. What are your problems with it?

Mitrovic on 81.5

Often rises happen in last 48hrs before deadline although might not this week

TAA

Stones

Get rid of PVA. He isn't worth it in a draft game.

Inevitable rotation. Willian will start some fixtures as was the case last GW. Neither are nailed

Only Sarri knows.
But Pedro very dangerous when he plays.
If you get him to have to be able to suffer the occasional 1 pointer from the bench mixed with the occasional double figure points.
Hazard could even end up as false 9 with pedro and wilian flanking him that would be the dream fpl scenario.

Definitely worth it, starting or not, grabs points either way and nicks a goal or assist.

He looked dangerous and also be a good enabler for spending elsewhere. Worth it, I feel.

More shots on target in 25 mins last game than any other Chelsea player

IMHO he will rotate with Willian but still be worth it.

Don't get him until it's clear. Everyone saying he's dangerous, likely to start etc. owns him and are being blindly optimistic that he'll score every time he comes off the bench. A lot of folks need reminding of the #1 rule in FPL: Pick nailed players.

Worth it imo.

I have him and monitoring his minutes but wouldn’t get him in now.

Better use of your FT elsewhere. Maddison?

Mkhi could get 5 minutes like last game.
See what the pressers and games left offer.

I suspect if his ribs are ok pain-wise in training he'll start, if the pain is too much he won't.

It's risky. Even if fit, he could be hauled off on 59 minutes or whatever. Just an unpleasant situation if you have to deal with Mkhi vs Walcott.

Not worth -8 for me. Sorry.

Will you be priced out of it if you don't move?

Keep Murphy.

Just get Fraser instead of Maddison for a minus 4 instead of minus 8.

I started with this structure gw1 with two 4.5m players.
But I had to wildcard before gw3 because of price drops and injuries.
Using the two 4.5m gives you less flexibility in midfield but more flexibility up front and in defence.
It depends if you think that defence and attack are where the rest of your money should be concentrated.
Also you have three very good midfielders there that mane-y others would not have.
They are decent captain choices as well over the season.

I have a different understanding of formation “flexibility”.

I don’t really care whether I have the flexibility to play 3/4/5 mid or 3/4/5 defenders. I don’t see why that is useful at all. The game objective is to maximise points over the season. In thinking about flexibility, I focus on how many alternative options I have for a particular position at a particular price point. You want a formation that allows you to deal with unlucky events / wrong judgment easily without hits.

For eg, there are about 3 prem def at 6+m that I really fancy at the moment (Alonso Mendy Robertson) -> which means I should play with 1 or 2 prem def only (if I have all 3 and 1 of them is out I will have problems finding a replacement).

I also think there are more 7m and below forward options (Ings, Mitrovic, Jimenez, Zaha, Arnie) vs mid options this season, so maybe going 343 gives me most flexibility.

Flexibility is very important in FPL for me. Last year I start with mid: KDB, Willian, Zaha and 2x 4.5m and have to wc early to have Salah, Mkhi and decent 4th mid.

Keepers: Patricio/Hamer

No I'd rather upgrade the bench. Amartey is a junk pick. Not WC I hope

What's the transfer cost for that 11?

That’s a starting 10 with 4 outfield bench fodders, one of which you have to play every week - you will be taking hits in 2 weeks time to sort it all out again

There are a few things to consider with Maddison. He's young, it's another step-up in class for him and he's a very talented player, heavily involved in both assist & goal threat.
He's had 2 good games v mun & liv and 2 quieter ones, despite the lucky goal v wol. He's not played 90' yet due to running out of steam and is a tad prone to hold the ball a bit too long.
His best game was v liv and his numbers were very good.

Buyers like me are taking the bet that he can continue to improve both his form, fitness & stamina.

Take Fraser or Gray and bank the cash? Pereyra if you think he'll keep up his form through these tough upcoming games.
