    Weighing up some options. Which one do you like best? Number 4 is giving my the highest return over the next 5 or so fixtures.

    WC in hand still.
    1. Salah + Pukki -> Maddison + Aubameyang (1.2m).
    2. VVD + Smith -> Pereira + Soyuncu/ Tomori (0.2m/0.1m).
    3. A. Smith + Cantwell -> Soyuncu + Dendoncker (0.0m).
    4. VVD + Pukki-> Holding (4.5m) + Vardy
    5. VVD + Pukki-> 5.6m def + Wilson.

    Pope.
    VVD, Otamendi, Robbo.
    Cantwell, Mount, KDB, Sterling, Salah.
    Abraham, Pukki.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    2ft- 0.1m ITB.

      option 5 with Matip is best. you sell VVD who gets cs vs United so better to invest in his partner who will also get cs and usually also scores well in bps system.

    Can anyone help with this appalling mess of a team? No Abraham and KDB are obvious problems but I'm reluctant to lose players with a nice fixture in GW9. Creative suggestions very welcome. Thanks for your help 🙂

    Heaton - McLovin

    TAA - Robertson - Digne - Otamendi - Lundstram

    Salah - Sterling - David Silva - Mount - Saka

    Pukki - Jota - Greenwood

    £0.6m in the bank, 2 FTs.

      I think you have a bit too much cash tied up in defense Virg and having two City mids is probably more of a headache than it is worth as Pep could easily bench both of those guys out of the blue and screw you.

      I like Saka a lot but i think he will make way when Laca returns so you may want to look at him and ideally Mane instead of Salah but that is not the biggest problem you have.

      I think you may need a premium striker to balance things out.

          I thought the movie was fantastic and is an modern day classic.

          I am seriously considering going into the cinema again this weekend to watch it again which is something i have never done with a movie before.I think i could watch Joker ten times and take something different from it each time.

            Joaquin Phoenix's performance was just staggering. What an actor. No one else could have done that with the role.

            The film had more in common with Taxi Driver than anything else I thought.

              Joaquin definitely put his stamp on the character.

              You could read that ending a whole load of ways but when i first saw it i thought that the whole thing may be just inside his head and the rest of the movie was some kind of mental delusion of some kind.

                Yeah Todd Philips acknowledged that theory in a recent interview but wouldn't confirm if it's true.

                As good as Health Ledger was as the Joker, his performance was somehow way above his portrayal.

          differential only works if he gets you the points no one else has 🙂 this would be a negative differential.

          If you want to spend 6M on a defender pereira from leister could be that differential, still little ownership and likely to get points.

    Just like Mark, I always says, "I like to bring in a defender who has a bit about him" i.e. Goal threat.

    In 13 starts, Soyuncu and Tomori have had THREE goal attempts between them.

    Absolute joke picks imo. I'm going nowhere near them. I don't care how luscious and golden Soyuncu's hair is.

      If there are £4.5m that have more goal threat and CS potential then sure.

      If you look at the teams in the PL - who do you think actually can keep CS? I would say Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United.

      TAA is the obvious Liverpool pick. Otamendi is the obvious Man City pick. Tomori is a bargain at £4.5m for Chelsea so is Soyuncu for Leicester. You could also add Diop, Kelly and Lundstram. Man Utd have some options, but they have too many injuries at the moment. Arsenal also have too many injuries (they need Holding, Bellerin and Tierney back). Spurs are out of form.

      Newcastle try to keep CS, but they don't have the ability. Everton could keep CS, but Silva's stubbornness to continue with zonal marking at set pieces is costing them. The rest all look like they will leak goals.

        What's your point? There are plenty of £4.5m - £5m with better goal threat and CS potential than Soyuncu and Tomori (Tomori who has neither goal threat OR clean sheet potential by the way).

          Absolute nonsense.
          Chelsea are currently third for shots conceded in the box (Leicester are 1st incidentally).
          Clean sheet potential is very reasonable, and at 4.5 Tomori was an absolute bargain!

      I agree. Chelsea defence has looked poor so it’s more hope than expectation for Tomori. Leicester’s defence has also never been that great. I can’t help but feel the Soyuncu pick is sky fantasy players getting confused thinking he’ll score well in FPL.

          I don’t think his double rose this gw yet. But I do feel I’ve missed out by not getting him earlier. My excuse is I’ve pretty much had a midfield of Salah, Sterling, KDB and McGinn. Tif, McGinn has nearly kept up with him. If he’d managed to get something in the 5-1 win he may even have had more points than him.

    Tammy, Vardy, Wilson

    Looks bloody brilliant as an FPL forward line - they’ve got a bit of everything & allow plenty of budget for elsewhere

    Especially if you got in early on Tammy or even managed to pick up Callum for 7.8 or Vardy for 8.9

          Yeah Tammy is a proper ‘wagon, nearly most owned player in the game

          But the other two aren’t hugely popular from an ownership perspective

          Still over 10% though I suppose

            But if you consider it from the opposite perspective: over 85% of teams will miss out on their inevitable point returns - if only I had the cash for Wilson as well

      Yup. i have Tammy but just cant fit both the others in without dropping one of Mo/Sterling. Where dropping one of these does tempt me, i just cant bring myself, i know they’ll both find form and explode sooner or later!

      What it’s worth, I believe Callum Wilson is a prime candidate for captaincy this week and i will be giving him the band IF i manage to bring him in

        I’m keeping sterling for 3 games and then switching to mane till the new year

        It keeps things simple, reducing FTs

        But it does come at the price of having to keep greenwood for the foreseeable future

        Vardy and Tammy will have to do

        Every now & again Wilson pops up with an explosion

        The Norwich factor this weekend has him the armband for me, at least provisionally

        I ditched Sterling a few weeks ago to go Mo perma cap, the Sterling sale hasn’t bitten me, and the Mo perma cap hasn’t paid dividends yet

        But Wilson looks great next 2, and beyond

        Consider freeing up funds in defense? Everyone in this FFS bubble say TAA is a "must". I agree he is a valuable asset, but if you pick wisely you can have a much cheaper defender that will still get you pts while giving you more budget.

        Just to put it in perspective TAA has 40pts @7.2m, Lundstrum has 39pts @4.5, PvA 39pts @5.6m, etc.

        But that's me, I don't like to put much in defenders and Liverpool's next 4 matches are going to be tougher.

      It's the 3 I wanted but unfortunately with budget I dont want to go without mane/salah and aguero/sterling.

      Which leaves me going mane with maddi over vardy and kun up top with the other 2.

    4. Do I need to select a Premium forward now?

      Kipchoge has become the first man in history to run a marathon in under 2 hours which is a mind blowing pace over 26 miles.

      This is a video about how he prepared for this amazing feat of human endurance....
