        wouldn't touch Tottenham until they show some form, they are likely to draw at home to southampton - salah for me

          Lmao! I can’t wait for how how wrong you’ll be come Saturday.

      • FPL Ron Manager

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling. I think Son (and Tottenham) still has something to prove after coming back from suspension/injury. Salah against Sheffield United is a sound pick as well, but Manchester City against an Everton defence averaging 2 goals against them means Sterling (after his rest) has to be the best option of those three.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          And yet not really, Everton will be a sterner test than people think, and Sterling has blanked more or less the last 5 games and in atrocious form. He had his rest playing actual games and couldn’t even score against Brighton ffs lol.

          1. FPL Ron Manager
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Hi club form hasn't been great for the last few games, but in the England games he played very well and scored a few goals, etc. I still think it's too soon to drop him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he scored this weekend.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      One thing I've always struggled with over all my years playing fpl, knowing the right time to drop an underperforming player. You hang on too long and you potentially miss out on a lot of points. Drop him too early and he could come good.

      For instance, I dropped Jota this week after having him from the start of the season. Of course the then went and scored his first goal of the season. I'm now contemplating selling Sterling, even though I know he will be one of the highest point scorers by the end of the season.

      I guess I should end this with a question. How much time do you give an underperformer? When does waiting for him to score become detrimental to your team?

      1. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Depends on the player. Big difference between and underperforming mid priced mid and an fpl juggernaut like Sterling. Pick your premiums and stick.

          1. Sacked in the Morning
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed. Moving Jota out wasn't a bad move, i dont think i would have waited that long.

        • have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Depends their fixtures and who else you could have instead. If another player is smashing it and they aren’t then it’s maybe obvious just to jump.
          It is tricky though, generally I give players 2/3 weeks. If those were good fixtures they blanking in tho then maybe only two weeks max.

        • FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I do not give any time for flagged players. Just week on week of missed points money burning on your bench.

          It depends how much money vs points the underpreformer is costing you and how it affects your rank. If they blank twice in a row then get benched and now likely to play Cup at over 12.0.m then outahere. I would not look forward to the weekend hoping that Lund will haul again 🙂

          My team doing just fine without Sterling. Got rid GW5. If I still had him my rank would be really sh*tty.

        • Lestat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          if form is poor and tough fixtures are coming up I get rid. If there is a plum home tie next I might hold. getting rid of sterling this week though wud be a mistake and illogical. Last week was the time to make that move when he was highly likely to be rested.

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        TAA a better captain than salah this week? Sheffield so blunt in attack and very unlikely Wilder will take any chances. TAA loves coming onto teams who sit deep he could even match salah for attacking returns

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Agree with all that you are saying but the only times I have ever seriously considered captaining a defender last season they managed to find a way to concede. Man City vs HUD (Mendy) and Chelsea vs CAR (Alonso)

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            All 11 SHU players had average position in their own half vs Everton. Everton. This is Liverpool ffs

              Interesting. Sounds like you have done your research, go for it then. Best of luck.

              We were poor in possession vs Everton. I'm pretty sure we'll create more chances on Saturday, strange as that sounds

            Big balls to have but Trent is a monster. Still capping Salah myself.

            Blades are not that blunt - 7 goals in 6, 13th for xG (not great, not terrible), only game in which we didn't score was our highest xG game of the season. Every chance of a Liverpool clean sheet, sure, but far from a banker

          • Lestat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            only if ur doing poor in ur mini league and want a nice differential. But based on probability u have to choose salah.

          Want to hear your opinions, guys. Finally after a strong last week have a chance to make agressive moves, which I was waiting for a long time. Both moves include a hit (-4).

          1) Mane and Cantwell to Son and Mount (have Salah, Sterling, KDB and would captain Salah)
          2) Mane and Wickham to Mount and Abraham
          3) Save FT, for next week Salah and Wickham to Aubameyang + 6,0 mid

            • 6 Years

            both options are great imo 1st one edges just one bit

        5. ASOUSA12
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Guys, appreciate any help:

          Which of these drafts would you prefer:

          Pope / 4.0
          TAA / Otamendi / XXX / Rico / Lundstram
          KDB / XXX / XXX / Mount / 4.5
          Pukki / Abraham / XXX

          A) Robertson + Mane + Son + Wilson
          B) Robertson + Pepe + Son + Firmino
          C) Soyuncu + Sterling + Son + Firmino
          D) Robertson + Mane + Martial + Vardy
          E) Robertson + Sterling + Mane + Greenwood

          Currently leaning on A), and thinking of swapping captaincy between KDB and Son for next 5-6 games

          Cheers

            1. ASOUSA12
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Is Firmino actually a viable option this year or is this just one of his streaks? Can't see him surpassing 200 points... where Mane i can see him making around 250 point close to Salah.

              C) only looks better if we think KDB isn't actually a viable captain option instead of Sterling

              I need a differential to climb the rankings and i think that Liverpool double defence will do well in the next few games as they should be more tight.

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Think he will be good this season, not an astronomical score but maybe his best yet. The issue is his price is really annoying and doesn’t seem to bode well with most team structures I think

          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          So I have been posting my team on a few occasions and the advice has been consistent - dont touch city trio - kun, sterling, kdb before everton..

          It makes sense, as we believe city will trash everton.

          The downside is lack of option to bring in son and he has both form and fixtures..
          It is amazing what I could if sold kun:

          Kun, haller, ceballos => tammy, firmino, son (-4)

          Dont you think this move can pay off big time?

          1. Pinturicchio10
              4 years, 6 months ago

              It could. It could also blow up in your face. Always be wary of taking minus points for players that can smash huge scores.

              1. andres
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                It is „only” aguero... ceballos and haller are not capable of serious returns...

                On the other hand son, tammy, firmino all could give double digit pay off..

                1. Pinturicchio10
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Aguero haul, Haller goal, Ceballos assist.. with the deduction its hard to recover. Not saying it can't work, just be wary that's all.

                      True. Watching ceballos and heller has been so frustrating though...

              With a few fixture swings on the horizons, I'd be highly surprised if we don't get a larger number of bandwagons cropping up in the next few weeks, so a fair chance to earn yourself some bragging rights!

              Who will be the next big bandwagon? Why?

              And from a more pessimistic view - Which bandwagon will be the next to fail? Why?

                Premium Chelsea defence the next bandwagon

                Double Chelsea attack to fail
                Also Aguero over sterling’s to fail very fast

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Premium Chelsea defence - Alonso perhaps? Do you think they can cut down the goals conceded significantly and start keeping some clean sheets?

                  1. Ask Yourself
                    • 7 Years

                    Azpi for me. Alonso cool too if Emerson out for months although hopefully not. Kante back and an Alonso style necessity for 5 at the back could mean proper CS chances with their fixtures

                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      Azpi's attacking potential is really encouraging, but it is it enough to make him worth the price difference over Tomori?

                        Matip vs TAA
                        Tomori vs Azpi

                Double Chelsea to fail, one of Tammy or Mount to get injured.

                Leicester players definitely looking the like next bandwagons.

                Vardy, Maddison, Tielemans and their defenders have fixtures to do well.

                1. Rotation's Alter Ego
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah definitely. Defence has been tight (albeit with limited clean sheets) so I'd fancy for their stock to rocket soon. Do like Maddison as well, but many might struggle to find the forward spot / cash for Vardy. Could be a tasty differential mind!

                  1. Karan14
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    All of them are near or less than 10% ownership which makes it even better.
                    Personally I'm looking at VVD & Barnes to Soyuncu & Vardy in GW9.

              5. JBG
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Maddison, Pereira, Vardy and Jota can all become big bandwagons imo.

                • 10 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Soyuncu to finally make an appearance off benches now the fixtures are looking good.

                Tomori if Chelsea keep a clean sheet.

                Aubamayang to finally price rise after delivering every week, and with the fixtures, he will be the one to have. Although saying this, United to turn up and defend would not be surprising.

                Next big bandwagon : someone from arsenal

                Next fail :
                someone from arsenal

                1. Rotation's Alter Ego
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Sounds about right!

              8. Bury94
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Definitely Maddison, getting him on my wildcard whilst he is still relatively low owned. Son perhaps too.

              9. Licious Lizard
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Next bandwagons:
                Maddison, Yarmolenko, Deulofeu and Auba if he counts.

                Failed bandwagons:
                Chelsea def, Burnley def, Otamendi and Cantwell

                1. Rotation's Alter Ego
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Worry with Yarmolenko is that he can quite often be a case of almost, but if he clicks he'll be massively popular at his price with his fixtures! May well make it into my team this week.

                  Good to see a really different shout with Deulofeu.

                  Can see Otamendi having an absolute monopoly on being targeted from set pieces - whilst Clean sheets might arguably be harder to come by, the potential for attacking returns is not bad at all (as CBs go)

                  1. Licious Lizard
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Yep Yarmolenko could Really go either way, but has looked very good from what I’ve seen. He has been building up fitness and with Lanzini out he will get a chance to shine.

                    Deulofeu is obviously a risky pick too with how Watford has been playing, but with their upcoming fixtures and the backing of Flores, he could be a shrewd pick.

                    Regarding Ota, I hope you are right as I brought him in myself this week. I just think City’s defence is dodgy - and looking at his attacking returns from previous seasons, it doesn’t seem like we can expect multiple attacking returns over the coming weeks.

              10. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Easy ones are Vardy, Son. More niche: Perez, Ricardo, Emerson

              11. BATISTUTA ®
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I can see Martial back on the radar pretty soon... Did decent before injury and could even be on pens now Rash is out.

                Otamendi, City def will fail ...I think they’re horrible at the back without Laporte

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                It does feel like Leicester could go on a run, it's the reason I signed Vardy last week and will probably captain him vs Newcastle.

              13. Jekori
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Bandwagon: Return of the wingbacks > Pereira (Lei) and Willems (New) after gw9. Yes they are farfetched but no guts no glory.

                Derailed Bandwagons: Aguero. A suprise benching and missed penalty to make people run back to sterling

                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Next bandwagons: Maddison, Maupay, Pepe, maybe Alderweireld

                Next to fail: Callum Wilson, Rico as a viable 4th defender, Son will be outscored by Kane

              15. Lestat

                • 13 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                next bandwagon is Aurier. Bandwagon to fail is Cantwell

                1. Pacer.

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Not sure a 4.5ish can fail really

                  1. StoichkovFPL
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    He is more like 5.0.
                    Also if 4th mid playing every week who dont get points can be a fail. Esp if someone can have playet like McGinn who would deliver at same time.
                    So yes, he can be a fail.

                    1. The Bad Seed
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      still nowhere near a fail.

                      2 points is all you expect from a 4.5

                      so no. he cant be a fail, unless he redcards every week.

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                King and Trezeguet and then Robinson to become bandwagons with their easier fixtures and their luck turning.
                McGinn and Wilson (Harry) to go the other way and stop punching above their weight.

                • 8 Years

                Dunk & Evans

              20. Rains of Castamere
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I like the look of Maddison and their fixtures are fantastic... for me it's toss-up between 3-5-2 with Maddison or 3-4-3 with the similarly priced Pukki who I haven't owned yet.

                1. Karhumies
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Pukki as an individual is in great form but the team has so many cumulative injuries now it's ridiculousz making him a risky purchse currently but worth holding on to if you got him in before price rises IMO. I am expecting a couple of blanks and price falls before they get enough people back to full health to really compete.

              21. Speédy
                • 7 Years

                4 years, 6 months ago

                Vardy, Felipe Anderson next big bandwagons. Abraham the one to fail. Fun bandwagon: Marcos Alonso, although he's still expensive for my liking.

              23. Wolfsburgers

                • 8 Years

                Martial - OOP, kindly priced and no real competition while Rash injured - though he was playing Central Striker anyway while Rash was shunted out wide

                1. StoichkovFPL
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  100% agree...till he gets injured again. Than he can be a fail at same time.

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Tierney and Bellerin can make Ars def interesting.
                And I can see Martial as the next wagon to leave the station once he's back fit.

              26. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?

                13 of the same players here (Henderson, Diop vs Heaton, Rico) so I say it looks good!

                I also wanted TAA and a differential or 2 but as I had already taken a hit, I decided it would have to wait.

                Not looking great, McGinn looks far better if you can stretch to him.

                    McGinn rewlly looks so much better.
                    Don’t get me wrong I’m sure cant will get things when he is at home. But if this only for few weeks mcginn better fixtures and way better.

                McGinn is starting to look the better pick for sure but Cantwell clearly has some greatness/ cheeky ability in him so it could work out fine

                Better than mine as I have the same but VVD over TAA!

                I also dropped Digne to Rico to fund my other move - hopefully it pays off!

                Of course not - it is thin but not worse than most.

              Anyone else feel they lack the guts to double or tripple up on Defenders just because it hurts so much when they concede in an easy home game?
              Was thinking Soyuncu Pereira..

                  It's getting harder and harder to pull this off as the seasons go by as teams are getting stronger up front. Worth a punt mind you.

                  Think it can work if you pick the right team and time, but most likely won’t pay off and if it does it’s only gonna be a short time

                    Its not rational for me.
                    Its a matter of fear.

                  Kdb and Auba,
                  Way more reliable

                  I feel KDB is a must atm.

                  Auba will always be a solid deliverer - a lot more so than Pukki

                The more time i spent on this site, the more transfers seem unavoidable.
                Want to WC every week despite a very good rank just to do little things like Heaton Pope
                Digne Pereira
                No Son seems so dangerous but next week Sterling could have outscored him.

                  going without players who have high ownership is dangerous

                Pope / Button
                TAA / Zinch / Dunk / Digne / Boly
                Sterling / KDB / Mane / Cantwell / Dendonck
                Barnes / Haller / Wickham

                1 free transfer + 2m in bank.

                Seeing a lot of people axeing Digne?.
                Wise keeping 2 city players prone to rotation in Mid?
                Upgrade a striker or add in a 6.5m one to take 3 up top?

                Advice would be greatly appreciated.

                Haller played well against Norwich and scored two in the game before against sou?or whom?.
                He had trouble vs a defensive United
                How will he fare against Bournemouth albeit away.

                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Bournemouth are the first dodgy defence he’s played since norwich I still think he’ll be decent

                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  With Lanzini out and Noble/Rice behind him...he looks more deserted than Tom Hanks in Cast Away.

                    • 11 Years

                    Crystal wont be easy either

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I decided to continue to give him a chance this week and got Tammy alongside him instead of replacing.

                  Hope he repays my faith!

                Chaps.

                Pope
                Aurier - Soyuncu - Lundstram
                Son - Sterling - KDB - Mane
                Wilson - Pukki - Abraham
                (Button, Rico, Hanley, Denconcker).

                I believe Hanley is back soon, and as captain I assume he's nailed - does this look reasonable to you?

                I should be happy having Digne's 6.1m to potentially spend, but there is no one I am convinced by to pull the trigger.
                BUT dont want 6.1 on the bench this week......

                Please kindly advise:

                A) Salah, Firmino, Mount

                B) Mane, Aguero, Cantwell

                (also own Tammy and Pukki)

                  This is extremely tough. My instinct says A might edge it, but that is a wild guess.

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  A of those because I think Bobby is a great pick in his current form and I expect Salah to be marginally ahead of Mané. Do you have Sterling or KDB? If not then that changes the answer!

                      Not sure I’d actually make the hit on that one. Haller could still do well.

                      It’s tough tbh. If you are happy with risk then go for it!

                  I would do Siggy to Maddison and King to Tammy/Haller.
