Lessons learned from Gameweek 11

  1. Eat my goal!

    Only just realised its a Friday night deadline - started to get excited and then saw the fixture - dull!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pukki cap to make it exciting.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Was tempted to get a Watford player to brighten the evening up!

  2. abaalan

    Play one:
    A) Soyuncu (Ars H)
    B) Lundstram (Tot A)
    C) Dunk (Mnu A)

    Bench order of other 2?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Soy
      Lundstram
      Dunk

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      play lundy
      soy and dunk

    3. Evasivo

      6 years, 1 month ago

      BAC

    4. Smell the Lavender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lund is my second bench spot after Soy in first bench spot. No clear chances away from home for Lund.

    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Tough one here...
    Bench two out of the following defence:

    TAA, Rico, Lund, Soy, Aurier

    Alternative is benching one of the above and benching Maupay.
    Please help 🙂

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bench Rico and Lundstram

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Roll a die. This might come down to luck and hindsight

      1. Ze_Austin

    3. Baganuva Hatty
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch.
      Play Maupay
      With TAA, Aurier and Lundstrum.

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bench Soy and Rico

      1. PartyPooper
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all! This kinda seems the consensus.

        I'm a bit suprised to see a lot of "bench Rico's" going around.
        Newcastle is quite a good fixture for a clean sheet right? or is Bournemouth def still not te be trusted?

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          agree. Bench Soy for sure and for the second one go with your instinct

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      bench soy and aurier

    6. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Soy and Lundy (fixtures)

  6. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    CHO: Hold or Sell?

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm holding.

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sold. Not first choice anymore, but could start this GW in Mounts absence

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You think he starts if Mount is fit?
        Probably in place of Pulisic? Who if starts will be his 5th start in 14 days.

    3. Baganuva Hatty
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hold and wait on mount injury.

    4. Foozeball
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      has a chance to start this week with Mount possibly being out

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      hold

  7. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Been a bizzy week and completely out the loop. Can anyone offer me suggestions for this bunch?

    Gunn
    TAA Digne Aurier
    Sterling KDB Mount CHO
    Pierre Tammy(v) Raul(c)

    Button | Lundstram, Rico, Cantwell

    2FTs. 0.2 ITB

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Digne, CHO > Willems, Maddison

    2. Baganuva Hatty
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team. Hold.
      Only thing I may change is sterling out for mane

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Done. Thanks both

    3. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      PEA + KDB to Vardy + Mane.

    4. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Gunn may have lost his place.

  8. faver
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Playing WC today is mad?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how many you want to change.

      1. faver
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not sold on playing WC but I don't want to fall even further behind.
        Pope - Hendo
        Soy - Robbo - TAA - Mings - Tomori
        CHO - Salah - Sterling - KDB - Martial
        Greenwood - Pukki - Connolly.
        Considering on of Sterling - Salah to Tammy + Maddison. Can go -4 to make Pukki - Jimmy move.
        I can get extremly nice 3-4-3 with WC until early 2020 to sort things out right now. But with -4 I can wait a week.

        1. KunDogan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I would wc now

        2. xHaTr
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Doesnt need a WC in my opinion. Just move Sterling to Tielemens and Greenwood to Vardy

          1. faver
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers for the advice.

        3. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          why on earth will you wc that? Play 4-5-1 this week and then you can make a mini wc (3 transfers for a -4) next week, Sterling to Grealish/Trossard, then upgrade Greenwood to Vardy and then you have a little spare to do Pukki to Jimenez?
          Then you have a flexible formation, Abraham is a miss then but not far away with a double move from Martial/Connolly to Hayden/Abraham.
          I think you have a little to much cash spread around in defense, with that double Pool only one of the other three will play most weeks, at the same time they are all nice and relatively cheap. Sory, just forget that, i think it is nice. I think Soy can be Lascelles before gw18 as Leic fix stiffens and Lascelles cover Pool blank nicely.

          1. faver
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Thank you for advice. I have 2 FT's and 0.0 ITB. Also I want to free some funds from defence. Good points mate. I may think about holding wc

    2. Riders of Yohan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Need more context

  9. jia you
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Agree with my order of prefence for this GW?

    Starter: Lundstram (TAA/Robbo)
    1st Sub: Janmaat
    2nd Sub: Rico

    1. Party time
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would start Rico over Lundstram tho, Maybe because I already have Henderson & fancy Spurs to do well

        1. Party time
            6 years, 1 month ago

            A better way of soreading the risk imo. I believe you've got Hendo too

          • KunDogan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Rico over Lundy for me too...

          • jia you
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Lundstarm feels a starter over Rico regardless of fixture for me atm given his position and SHU's current form!

            1. Party time
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Alright buddy. You got Hendo in goal as well?

                1. jia you
                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  Nah, benching Hendo

                  1. Party time
                      6 years, 1 month ago

                      Alright. I am starting Hendo & benching Lund for this gw

                      1. jia you
                        • 9 Years
                        6 years, 1 month ago

                        fair enough, def dont fancy the double up, GL!

            2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Not starting Janmatt vs Norwich? Perfect game for an attacking return

              1. jia you
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                He might come in for Mount but I feel benching Lundstram is unwise on current form!

                1. jia you
                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  but Janmatt is very tempting considering the Friday game...I might just be pursuaded 😉

                  1. Party time
                      6 years, 1 month ago

                      Pukki Party today to wipe away any attacking points from Janmaat

                  2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    True, I wouldn't bench Lundy against anyone except City and pool. Just feel like this could be Janmaats week

                    1. jia you
                      • 9 Years
                      6 years, 1 month ago

                      and his ownership is tiny if he did manage a haul

              planning to bring in Auba for GW 13 (transferring out Aguero)--should I do Aguero --> Auba now or transfer in Jimenez for this GW?

                    Mount or Pulisic in my WC? Can’t decide

                    1. Baganuva Hatty
                      • 6 Years
                      6 years, 1 month ago

                      Wait on mount injury news.

                  3. FOO FIGHTER
                    • 6 Years
                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    Going a different midfield when most teams have more or less the same attack and defence is what I reckon will set you appart.

                    And we are spoilt with midfield options this season!

                    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                      • 7 Years
                      6 years, 1 month ago

                      I will have this next week:

                      Sterling, KDB, Mane, Pulisic, Djenepo (If he plays well tomorrow)

                      1. FOO FIGHTER
                        • 6 Years
                        6 years, 1 month ago

                        Think you going to have to give Djenepo some time to gain match fitness. He is a player I am eyeing as well but will give him at least 2 to 3 GW's or get him and sit him on my bench then play him when he is settled again.

                          yeah I have a list of players I am counting this weekend to replace any one of Kelly, Greenwood and Cantwell. The list includes Ayew, Mousset, Djenepo, Willems, and Saint Maximin.

                    Which LChester three ???
                    Which LPool three ???

                    So far I'm 100% convinced:

                    Schmeichel Tielemans Pereira
                    Robbo Mane Firmino

                    Is the way to go. No Vardy will hurt me but I'm a brave, facing the wind kinda guy!! Also a little mad and in catchup mode ... 500k

                      Not for me

                        6 years, 1 month ago

                        Vardy& Maddison are enough for me

                        6 years, 1 month ago

                        The double triple up is too much for me, gotta diversify man. I would take those Liv 3 and 2 from LEI (Vardy/x).

                          Firmino is optional too, but I have a feeling he is gonna start scoring again soon.

                          Salah Mané Trent the best attack in this game

                          3.41expected goal involvements (xGI) from Sterling over the last four Gameweeks, the highest of any FPL midfielder and inferior to only Maupay.

                          Happy to have kept Raz over KdB for now.

                          Also think Raz will break his hoodo at Anfield this week.

                            Sterling and KDB both season keepers for me if fit. Thing they are good enough to return consistently, and will both finish in the top 5 point scorers in the end.

                              Are you going to cap Sterling most of the time?

                                Probable not every game since I also have Mane, Vardy and Tammy. But I will captain him in city's easier games and once he looks in top form.

                                  Don't believe there is any point having one of the most expensive players and not capping him more than often.

                                    Hmm if only I needed funds to upgrade elsewhere. But I dont

                                      Also sterling is still returning. Even if he goes at his current scoring rate (Which has been poor for his standards and will only improve) he will still finish with 225 points. So you can expect a minimum of 225 if he remains fit all season.

                                        65/11*8 = 225

                            Cheers for making me feel better about removing him as part of a -4.

                            I saw that and it pushed me over the edge to get rid - it’s been the same for the last 5 gws yet limited returns and captain fails - no more!

                              Too exe for the current returns

                            LFC may only have 2 clean sheets but they have not conceded more than 1 goal in any GW.

                              If you got Mount late and don’t have cash tied up in him

                                I transferred him out during the last injury and would lose 0.1 by transferring him out now.

                                  Don’t let that put you off then. I got him at 6. Having said that Mount in squad now anyway.

                                    Thanks. I'm surprised he is in the squad. I decided to go for Pulisic, which is for sure going to backfire now. Oh well, this is why I'm ranked 900k

                                looking into setting team up for a re-shuffle after the international break...If I make 1 of the 2 available FTs now, I could make 4 moves for a -8 after this GW and the int'l break...

                                so a question is, if I'm planning to bring in Auba for GW 13, should I just do that now? or should I get Jimenez for this GW? plan is to transfer out Aguero

                                  I would get Jimi now. Game against Leicester should be hard for Gunners and I can see Auba struggle. But from GW13 onwards he is good pick. But that depends on what moves You are planning after internationals

                                Struggling with which defenders to play?

                                Playing Mount until info says otherwise, Rico first if he is rested?

                                Defence look set or bench swap?

                                Anyone thinking Rashford over Jimi?

                                Options

                                1. Tielemans and Rash
                                or
                                2. Maddison and Jimi

                                MU’s fixtures looking good and so is Rash (and he takes pens)

                                Interesting that Understat shows Brighton having the 4th lowest xGC at home (0.9 per game) but the 2nd worst at away (2.3 per game). Got good feelings about Martial.
