Fantasy Allsvenskan: Gameweek 14

Sounds good, I did Elyounoussi-->Kharaishvili and captain will be Tankovic.
Defence is an issue for most ahead of blank GW18, plenty sitting with defenders from Malmö, AIK and Norrköping (along with the odd rotation risk). Will definitely keep Sundgren for his last games, but looking forward to releasing some of those funds tied up in him.

Sounds like a good move, especially ahead of GW18.

I'm eagerly waiting for the Göteborg squad to be released before I decide on my move. It will be Adam Andersson out for a Göteborg defender, but havn't decided on whichone yet. Calisir was subbed last game but it was only cramps after being out for a month, so he should be available. If he's in the squad I'll likely do Andersson to Calisir this week, leaving me with exact funds to do Jordan Larsson to Khariashvili next GW (will probably have to be my first early transfer of the season to avoid price changes).

It's certainly not the worst of weeks for your crop of players, I'd also have a look at GW20, with almost the same players. In GW20 there are som good matchups with CS-potential in:
Djurgården-AFC Eskilstuna, Hammarby-GIF Sundsvall, AIK-Kalmar and Malmö-Falkenberg.

Just replaced Sandberg with Wernersson

Looks like a great set up for PTB. Meltens makes a good point about GW20, but you would then have to save players over BGW18, and someone might be injuried or suspended by then.

Cheers! 🙂
Out of curiosity, what moves are you considering?

Looks good for this GW, so you might as well save the transfer. Would also be carefull with Jeremejeff, he's surrounded by transfer rumours, have a release clause in his contract and might be rotated with the european Qualyfiers coming up. I'd put him in the "Don't buy, don't Dell" och bracket atm.

Looks fantastic for this GW! I'm also going with five at the back, but one of them is Brorsson so I might end up with a back four in the end.

Very nice, no need to change anything this week! 🙂

Elyounoussi as well!

That's annoying, I pressed the button on Dimitriadis-->Danielsson four minutes before the deadline and it got through.

Thanks for the stats, followed on Twitter as well 🙂

Goteborg are bringing me highs and lows right now, got three of them:

At 84 minutes:

Wernersson - a very, very nice 12 pts
Starfelt - subbed off on 59 mins for 1 pt
Kharaisvili - assist then penaly miss, on 5 pts

Overall got to be happy and look at the points gained rather then the 'could-have-been' points.

I suppose.

bugger

And there goes my Wernersson clean sheet.

Tough spot, I guess watch who plays in the European qualifiers and just keep a close eye on updates all around. Kharaishvili was super-involved and even besides the pen, should have scored more. Mets isn't a massive issue, everyone misses out thanks to this 3 YC rule every now and then, obviously a bigger pain with a blank coming up but I'd expect him to be decent for the rest of the season really.

That's great to hear, it's really nice that we have a place to share information and have some discussion about Fantasy Allsvenskan, really elevates the game. Hopefully whoever wins the whole thing will be part of the FFS community 😉

I'm up and down in each game. Had a storming start in eliteserien, and bad start in allsvenskan, then I had green after green in allsvenskan whilst dropping in eliteserien, now having a good week in eliteserien and starting to drop in allsvenskan!

Hoping for a more productive second half from him, it’s mostly been about Kacaniklic so far. Tankovic still quite involved and has hit the post.

A lot more Widgren than Sandberg so far as well, something to keep an eye on.

Kjartansson is leaving after next GW and thanks to his genius 93rd-minute YC he's suspended for his last game as well. He and Hammarby would like to extend his loan but Rostov (very involved in Swedish football at the moment) want to either get him back or sell. Probably too expensive for Hammarby to sign permanently. Djurdjic will stay and in the very short term, might get moved up to spearhead the attack. Longer-term I suspect we'll sign a new striker, too risky going without backup.

I'm also planning a PTB in GW20, most likely a WC in GW19 to set it up. As for Sundgren, "the world is your oyster" 😉
His price means anyone can be recruited but blank gameweek 18 is messing with the options... Depends a lot on your current defence? Witry and Danielsson are superb options. Wernerson looks interesting as well for Göteborg, and both Sandberg and Widgren had a good game for Hammarby.

If I were in your situation, I'd wildcard in GW19 and play PTB in GW20. That would allow you to use your transfers now for short term moves on in form players to maximize your points, since you'll be wildcarding in 19 anyway. Any specific reason to why you feel you have to downgrade the defence afterwards? Money in defence is usually money well spent in this game, so I would condider stickning with most of them even after you've played PTB.

Cheers. Yep I messed up by forgetting that - selling Nyman not Tarik. Then benched Tarik for Insherwood's zero pts

Great advice, thanks! That info made me start Larsson with Yusuf first sub, which saved me a few points. Knowledge and planning is certainly the key to this game. Almost 200 have transfered Mets in this GW despite him bring suspended, for example. Also saw a guy who was around 30th place overall who used his second wildcard this GW. He had 4 non-playing players on the bench and 7 players in the line-up without a fixture in GW18...

Yeah I saw the fixture run as well, really good stuff! I think we need to calm the hype train a bit though, Falkenberg were truly awful on the night. I'll cover the game a bit in the GW-review and specifically Kacaniklic and Djurdjic performances. Worthy to note that Kjartansson will leave soon (loan expires) and a new striker is most likely being announced in the coming days.

All that said, a double-up is on the cards for me and if I'm really feeling the new striker, maybe a treble. Not sure I'd really recommend it though 🙂

Tripling up is probably one too many. Hammarby are a good attacking side but that's mainly at home. Away, they have only scored 6 goals in 7 games, and now they have 3 games away in the next 4. Also, with Kjaertansson leaving It's hard to say how that will affect theire attacking potential.

Kacaniclic would be a good differential, and would also allow you to go with Khariashvili up front if you dont have him already. Djudjic is perhaps the more safe choice if you could find a good midfielder to combine with.

Latest on Sundgren: http://www.fotbolldirekt.se/2019/07/10/just-nu-aik-stjarnan-ikvall-det-har-tar-jag-med-mig-livet-ut/
He says goodbye to the AIK-fans on Instagram in a post that could be interpreted as him having played his last game for AIK. He's not confirming it completely, but I'll try to translate it for our English readers as well so they can form their own opinion:
"I would like to start this post by saying thanks, thanks to all AIK supporters who have backed me through thick and thin. You have been loyal to me since day one. I've been playing with the club badge on my chest with pride. AIK will always be my the club that raised me and I will tell that to my children in the future with pride.
I got to do more than 100 games for AIK, wear the captain's armband and also win the league. I will take that with me for the rest of my life. Without all of you fans, there is no Daniel Sundgren. I'll forever be one of you".

In my mind that seems like he's a goner already, but maybe he get's one last game at home to say goodbye to the fans. Hopefully, AIK Twitter do their thing again and we'll be completely sure pre-deadline.

In your specific case I think it makes sense to ship Sundgren if he's not going to play, he's at the very maximum got just one GW left anyway. Brorsson probably needs to go eventually as well but he at the very least has a chance to feature after GW15 🙂

Thanks! In scenarios like this, I almost always agree with the club rather than player. He's under contract and has agreed to play for AIK until the transfer window opens. The fact that he would have been cup tied until january isn't new information, so he should have negotiated this earlier and not call in sick a day before the game. It's difficult for clubs to run a team if players suddenly think they can break written contracts and agreements. To me It's simple - don't sign anything you don't have the intention to follow.

As I've mentioned earlier, this puts me in a pickle with no free transfers and only 2 playing defenders this GW. I have to take my first hit of the season, even though those -4p will cost me 4-5 places before the GW has even started.

Despite having 7.1 to spend on replacements, I find it very difficult. Going without AIK defender this GW could kill me, but it feels very short term to bring in Lundström, Granli or Panos without knowing how Norling will form his defence now. The blank gameweek and european qualyfiers is also messing things up a bit.

Malmö is also out of the question, mainly because of BGW18, and the same goes for Norrköping. My ideal replacement would be Wernersson, but I already have 3 Göteborg players.

That leaves me with Sandberg (whos likely to come in later anyway) or a Häcken defender. Häcken also have theire european qualyfiers coming up, and none of theire defenders are good on bonus. Lindgren is probably the best player, but I doubt he'll stay fit for all those games at his age, so I might opt for Toivio instead.

If Jorginho is on pens, go for it. otherwise Kante is always solid, and Longstaff could be worth a look if he's fully recovered from injury

New handball rule + VAR = Mark Noble!
