The FPL line-up lessons we learned from Gameweek 6

A

A and it isnt close

B, by a landslide.

I like B more.

Probability of zero %

You forgot the part about the terrible United team

Are Bellerin and Tierney near a start?

If Rashford, Martial, Olé and Cantona are not fit then he’s a chance of starting.

You make a decent point about the price point. Many would prefer having Ota, KDB, Sterling/Aguero though. I have Dilva over Sterling/Aguero currently so I could get Auba and exploit the gap in 7-8m mids and it’s worked well so far. Pep roulette has all the mentioned options safe this weekend except Bilva who played 90 the other day. One or even 2 of the 3 will always miss out is the issue. Just have to have the right ones at the right times. I am selling Dilva next week if not the one after

You could be right, just can't bring myself to sell Aguero and consider it while he keeps starting

I selected Zinchenko, Bilva and KDB for my season starter treble up. Happy with that

I settled on KDB and D.Silva for this reason, pretty unlikely they will both miss out in the same week - adding Bernardo probably isn't a terrible idea. I guess in my current team it's Haller vs Bernardo … I'm just hoping Haller sorts it out

I did this last season with Sterling, Sane and Mahrez, around late November, and only stuck with it until early January. Issues are:

A - None are captaincy options
B - Takes up 3 midfield spots
C - To lead on from C, you have to be patient with this tactic, so if new midfield options emerge, you might miss out on successful bandwagons.

I would anticipate that many have Aguero OR Sterling as captain options, plus KdB and Otamendi. In that case you’re dropping a captain option to get one of the Silva’s.

Could work if you captain a Liverpool attacker when City are away and KdB when they’re at home.

You need one of Aguero/Sterling for captaincy, KDB is essential, and a 5.5m nailed City defender will get more points throughout the season than the Silvas and Mahrez.

You're overthinking. Some casuals with Bernardo + Dilva had an amazing GW6. But they won't have an amazing season. Period.

Nice post +1

I don't think anyone knows including the City players who Pep will start as he likes to keep them on their toes.My own guess is that he will name an unchanged stating 11 for the next game but i could be wrong of course.

It would be great to know if Mahrez,D Silva and or B Silva were in for a run of games as it would be a no brainer to get em in but we all know that Pep roulette is a major headache for an fpl manager and could make you or break you.

Contemplating Kun to Auba to get a Silva. Just not sure which

I like Aguero, kdb and ota. But got zinch instead if ota. If I take a punt it's on mahrez

They might make it one trip.

No.

2/3 home cs so far for Villa so would probably pick Guilbert
(don't know anything about him though, like whether he starts)

Gui

Rico

VVD to Robbo or TAA

Upgrade Montoya and replace Lundstrum in starting 11.. Maybe Otamendi??

Digne to TAA for double Liv Def and roll the other to downgrade VVD next week?

AWB

b

I sold Digne but would play over those 2 this week

no

Very much so yes

B

Gtg

Nice team. I have the same team bar your Ota against my Ederson.

B B

AB

b,not sure yet

BB

Oh BB

Not for free.

Not sure I’d do that.

No

Why? Has Pukki not done enough?

Pope and KDB

Fabianski De Bruyne.

Pope & KDB

I’m on Pope (All season) Son next 3 then move back if need to —-> KDB

Fabianski, KDB

We are doing it right it’s just the new system when Haller has to create. Lack of direct runners in the team means Haller is the key link up man. He does his job well it just sends responsibility over to our wingers to do the scoring now. Anderson the best pick but still not a great one, we are a very unpredictable team.

There was a Hammers fan going ballistic on Talksport. Was great radio. Said midfield was very poor. Did Haller miss a load of sitters?

Already did Haller to Abraham on Monday

Yer, my acca buster tonight.
I think Noble is very important to that team and a very understated player. He does so many things so well, especially breaking up the opposing teams attack. Busy little bulldog and a great Sheriff, should be getting more plaudits like Kante.
Big miss when he's absent.

Good moves mate imo!!

Yes

Cheers lads

probably

Greenwood on the bench would be a start.

Digne > Rico
Dendonker > Mount ?

* Mount

Lascelles. Inexplicably dropped to 4.4 after cleansheet.

Ritchie about to come back. I have Schär myself but I understand that is probably way more than anyone sensible would spend on Newcastle defence so look at Lascelles for some minor goal threat or Dummett for the BAPs

the cheapest playing one

Soý

Is Tomori nailed?

You tell us chelsea fan!

K

You already don't have to start cantwell

Could downgrade Digne but that still doesn't leave enough £ for Mount unless willing to risk another 4m def
It's a decent team really - Cantwell/Hayden is the price of having the rest

Why not start him every week? Not much point in having more than 4.5m for benched mid. It's money you could better spend in your 11.

just play him! he's a great enabler that allows you to have the rest of your team. The way he is playing I can see him easily outscoring anyone you could bring in.

A

Yes

Just do it - rest midweek, would be unlucky to pick up an injury between now and then

Possible because of the Sterling sellers

Yip

Che, Spurs, Ars have decent upcoming fixtures.
