B) is -4

Thinking A myself

D

Honestly with this week's fixtures I think you should save. WHU is an okay fixture for Spurs assets and would give you way more options next GW.

B

Save for this weeks foxture assess after

Very good, team value?

Wb to balbuena.Rotates with doherty

Excellent team. Possibly consider Fabianski instead of Patricio due to fixtures and you already having Doherty. Also, looking forward, maybe Wan-Bissaka out?

Made me smile. Apart from Pat. The starting XI is the exact team I should have in 2 weeks time (Jimenez over Success on the bench).

I will soon have almost the same team without WC. Like it. Probably would prefer Ryan or Dubravka for the next 10Gws. But maybe you want Patricio for thr whole season

How about Salah to Mane, then upgrade your bench fodder to bench bargains that can actually get you points in dudd gameweeks?

Especially considering it's WC - you may be in trouble once the fixtures come thick and fast in December and I doubt you'd want to take hits down the line to upgrade your bench - I wouldnt be playing any of that bench on current form so one injury/suspension and you're effectively down to 10 men.

A for explosiveness

Sterling has a higher ceiling to pay off. I'd take him.

You must have OR #1 if point three is true...

I'm obssessed with FPL related thoughts when on WC or before GW1, otherwise life is normal 😛

Love using Wildcards on interlulls to keep myself busy.

Can't be serious about that last part, surely..

I'd delete my team and never return if that was the case. That's sad.

Shamefully im with you on this

I spend at least an hour or so a day catching up with the latest news and mulling over my transfer options.

I skim read the first part and saw the words ' slightly concerned' , 'obsession' and 'to kill'

I wanted each parameter 1-20th not, by team....impossible read and most data is irrelevant. I'm only interested in top/bottom 5 of each parameter and this makes it hard to find.

A1

i love a good double mid and striker combo but fraser wilson is the one i prefer

Bernard (Everton) is 5.9 too and should have done enough to keep his place

Think you're still fine with A

I wouldn't really wildcard that team - the midfield is nearly identical (I'd actually prefer Richarlison over Knockaert and downgrade elsewhere). You still have Alonso, Liverpool def, and Doherty.

There's also nothing in the forward lines points wise - Kun might even score as much as Firmino and Mitro combined!

thanks gents, yeah might keep the WC.

only issue is whether to do the stephens/kane >> hazard/jimenez (-4) in gw9 or 10

I'd argue MUN, bur, wolv aren't exactly hard for cleansheets.

Fine, MCI and tot aren't the best but not unsalvageable.

You know you're over-thinking things when a defender going 4 games without an attacking return is worrying. With 1 goal and 5 assists already, and a couple of unlucky goals against away from 4 clean sheets on the spin, there's no reason sell whatsoever. Look at gwks 9-12, 14-15, 17-22.......... sell? No effing chance.

I’m dropping Alonso, , brought him in at the wrong time and I’m not convinced about the clean sheet prospects.

Happy to be proved wrong, but his individual stats are down.

last i checked doherty had a much higher goal threat, no?

I have neither, and while Doherty is the obvious choice, I reckon Jonny is due a decent return with those stats, and is a decent diff over Doherty

(I'll probably end up wussing out and get Doherty though :-/ )

Get Jonny then.

0.2m seems a very small amount to me, but I guess every little bit helps. Where should we be looking? Without revealing Members Data, which stats should we be looking at?

Attacking threat is nice but defenders bread and butter is clean sheets.
Jonny more likely for the bonus in those scenarios, which makes him intriguing to me.
It’s who I may go for to add a saving on my wildcard

The latter

You've lost it mate

Probably lost it, Arsenal have got a few lucky clean sheets. Look to their full backs or attack instead

Well Shaw and Fraser not really issues if you have cover.
Peltier and Stephens are not either considering the prices.
I don't know what your side is now but if you have a decent 10/11 players, just move 2 players max

i think one of the most important bits of fpl advice you'll ever get is not to think about this kind of thing. It doesn't matter if you already have players from a given side. Just choose the players that you expect to get the most points. At present, Patricio and Doherty both look fantastic value, so definitely wouldn't worry about that. I haven't really looked into Fab and Diop, they don't look terrible straight off, but also don't look great.

Bit risky with Stanislas returning from injury. How about Knocaert at5.5?

Or go even cheaper with Will Hughes.

Is Richo Richarlison or Rico? Either way, I'd probably say A

A

100%

We're both waiting for this aren't we! I think it's likely, he's on the cusp.

Pricing dead zone atm and a big WC week being int break. Trippier will go up but may not be as imminent as expected

But Mendy's price unlocks tonight, so will he rise too?

Yes. Quite good run of fixtures for Leicester too.

yeah, I'd say Maddison...especially with his nice run of fixtures

Maddison but Gudmundsson also good when fixtures turn

Like both but b if pushed to decide.

Think I'd prefer Arnautovic, has that explosiveness for huge haul potential.

What about Arnie + Madds in a 4-4-2?

b

Looks good enough for a QF appearance 😉

Not sure about that midfield defensively.
Rest looks pretty promising.

Are you Jadon Sancho?

That looks quite decent. But I'd put Ox in over Sancho.

Leon Bailey

That midfield would get completely over run.

If Southgate still there then it will be 3 at the back.

No Maguire?

Silly

Don't do it mate!
If you can't find a way to get him in then look at TAA

Can understand your thinking but not for a hit.

Alonso maybe a season keeper...should have a few more goals in him if you look at past seasons

Err, look at Chelseas fixtures in 11, 12 and 14

The cash argument is better than the fixtures argument, IMHO

Alonso has good fixtures tho.

Oct 06: "Christian has no chronic injuries - nobody has said that. He just has an injury related to some fatigue and, for that reason, he is having some rest."

Potential return date is given as the 20th but we don't know if that'll happen.

He's not with the Danish squad this week, so there's little to go on

He is very unlikely to play next GW. Don't know about fatique but he has an abdominal injury and read some dutch news spurs think it'll be hard to make it in time for CL game vs PSV (24th) So w-h is very unlikely.

Flanks are the wide men.

Robbo for now. Mendy’s a wait and see for me

I’d go Robbo just for security of starts.

Robbo

Not close. Robertson on fixtures and form.

Agree with the others - right now, it's Robertson

Robbo

Do you have x3 Liverpool? If not, get those instead.

Yes I would

Any thoughts on Lacazette and Wilson instead of Vardy Mitrovic?

Looks ok although defence could arguably be better (e.g. for gw11)

Case by case, no real right answer. Only thing is if you are doing well your value will go up regardless, so top managers tend not to worry about it as much.

Can't speak for them, but less relevant when referring to cheap bench picks.

I used to always focus on TV but I’ve realised it’s not as essential as you may think to make early transfers. As long as you are getting the right players your TV should look after itself. I’ve been making transfers late in the week, each GW this season and my value is still respectable IMO - TV 103.2 (SV 101.6).

Probably Pedro. Same for me but can't decide on moves.

pedro >> richarlison

help on my post below would be great if you can cheers

A or B, if you think West Ham cant score do A, otherwise do B
And do the latter next week perhaps

If Vertonghen, Eriksen, Alli, Dembele, (Rose) all still injured would lose one of them. Don't know which though, and not for a hit.

cheers
