Aurier is leaving and Tierney plays LCB

Alderwireld, Davies and Alli

Ive seen them play for argentina together and it was underwhelming

No it's dead fantasy football

Yeah for a week or two before Kun gets injured

Until Pep realises he doesn't want two aging players in attack and Aguero gets dropped.

Who is their backup RB at the mo?

I think Doherty is a very good fpl asset, but a very average player in real life, his defending is questionable but he has an incredible knack of getting in the box at the right time.

Not sure. Dou had his positional power curtailed a lot when Traore played. Very noticeable after restart.
I suspect any new RB will suffer the same fate

More the latter than the former.

Agreed, system player

Chelsea's alonso

I tend to agree. Attacking fullbacks/wingbacks benefit massively from having a good solid centre back beside them. I'd be interested to see how his points differ from Boly playing.
TAA & Robbo wouldn't be as good if they didn't have VVD back there covering them

Couldn't turn him down. Likely price 13m MID?

1) More than 13.5 and I think it will be tricky.

2) KDB will become an even better option. The other midfielders and forwards will be worse options with Messi in the mix

Will definitely have him! 13m mid looks likely!

I think Messi coming in the team, will increase the value of other players! But KDB's pens & set pieces will be taken away by Messi.

1) 15m would be too much. I'd still probably pay it though as there's no way I'm passing up the chance to have one of the GOATs in my FPL team.

2) Not sure about enhanced but KDB would be the second pick. The other attackers are more likely to be rotated with Messi there.

As for who would be devalued, Aguero. I can't see Pep running with two aging attackers who aren't particularly dynamic when City don't have the ball.

Realistically, over £12m and you’re ripping up your team to get him in.

If he’s £15m it basically knocks you out of having someone like Trent in defence and another premium mid.

And at this stage of his career, joining a new league where the game is much more physical and played at a higher pace, is he going to score as freely as he has in La Liga?

Nope. Keep an eye on that Podence fella.

moutinho?

No

Most will be on this once Brewster moves to another club

Solid strategy.

Hope Brewster gets his loan

Is he really going to move this window.
Didn't klopp, after his brace Tuesday, just say how he's got a future this season with Liv

Cole and Terry were 7.5 (one may have been 7)

Since I play only 4 years, how was Ashley Cole as an fantasy asset? Always interested me

2011 12 was the best fpl season i can remember. So many fpl golds in the 2nd half of the season

Cisse
Dempsey
Siggy
James mclean (the 4 months of kife career he was actually very good)

Kun rvp rooney were all on fire up front

RVPs best year

My highest ever ranking year. Thought I might break in to the mystical top 1k but came up short. Got me all whimsical:)

B if no Sancho/someone else
Otherwise A

A

Hard to tell with media storms these days, but this one looks like its close.

Rumors

This would destroy wolves assets. Even Jimenez would be doubtful

Very accurate sources

Cold
Rainy
Night
At Stoke

Does this include fantasy assists? (blocked shots, winning pens/FKs etc)

Sweet Baby Jesus

Oh dear, he's regressing like Mo!

09/10 - 331 pts
10/11 - triple acl complete tear after collision with Ryan Shawcross at Britannia stadium on rainy tuesday evening. Out for 9 years
19/20 - 300 pts

In decline since 11/12

Wow...

If Barca & messi were in the prem

There has been a prem side so dominate in CL

That's approaching the Liverpool defender hauls 😉

My phone thinks all of those scores are telephone numbers.

id still have gotten a 1pt triple captain out of him on a double gameweek

Average. 😉

I get the feeling he wouldn’t have gotten those kind of scores in the Prem though.

Completely different league, style of play, level of opponents.

That’s not to say he isn’t one of the all time greats, but, I suspect he’d probably have postEd lower scores than that.

We‘lol never know now, as even if he joins the Premier League he’s not in the prime of his career anymore.

Awesome achievements though.

see below

Wolves

His delivery will be better for sure

Better at wolves becyase of jiminez. Kane on the other hand spends half his time un his own box

Should get good defensive and attacking points if hes as offensive as Aurier was in the latter part of the season. Better crossed, more assured in the box, Kane and Son feeding off his supply. As a Spurs fan I hope it gets over the line, naturally.

I think I'll have in the Aurier role at Spurs. Their fixtures are decent and I'm anyways lacking a Spurs attacker.

I'm also interested in the new Wolves RWB if Doherty leaves.

Like it. Would go with McCarthy + Egan over Ramsdale + KWP
Assuming .5 ITB for Barnes > Greenwood? Or son > Rash?

Agreed he's in my team atm and I think he'll stay there if he goes to Spurs. Although I'd like him to make the decision in time either way so he's available for GW1.

Question - are Spurs looking at Doherty only as a replacement for Aurier if he leaves? I.e. there is no scenario where Doherty moves to Spurs and shares minutes with Aurier?

Me too, be nice to have an Irish player at one of the bigger clubs.

He didn’t ever reach double digits in assists at Wolves, I wouldn’t expect him to get more than 5 attacking returns at Spurs.

I've got a mental block when it comes to Spurs players under Jose

I miss the days of loading up on Bale, VDV, BAE, Walker, Adebayor and then Toby at 5, Rose, Walker, Alli, Eriksen and Kane

Totally agree and if it goes through then it also weakens the appeal of Jiminez.

Salah first season I believe? Someone correct me if wrong

It will be extremely difficult to top Salah's record as an FPL asset unless he does it again.

Salah did 303 in a full 38 games in 2017/18 as a midfielder getting 5 points for a goal & a point for a CS

Suarez started 13/14 with a 5 game ban

He proceeded to score 28 goals & 16 assists... 44 returns... in his next 25(!) games

Just let that settle in for a second (consider Salah’s 300 pointer was 32G 12A for 44 returns plus 15 clean sheet points for the full season)

Suarez then got another 3G 1A in his last 8 games to finish with 48 returns overall in 33 games - I’d personally rate that above Salah’s (phenomenal) 300 point season, given he did it despite 5 less games, and was getting a point less per goal, and no clean sheet points

Then consider Henry blew them both out of the water with a quite frankly ridiculous 49 returns (24G 25A) in 37 appearances in 02/03

Basically like combining Jamie Vardy with Kevin DeBuryne

Strong ,but not a van of Mitrovic

Help

Davis
Saiss
Egan

Similar. Saiss and Egan are the two personally

Dier/Davies become less interesting if Doherty arrives mind you.

Under the radar considering his fixtures compared to Soucek, on pens as well I believe?

I would have him Ritchie over Soucek.

Would have along with Armstrong. Just wish he was nailed. Think he’s up for sale, Bournemouth interested

Hendrick expected to displace him to some extent in the team

If you look at his numbers from last year and remove the clean sheet points for the reclassification it ain’t pretty. Clear no for me.

Vinagre and Maddison by bug bears, is Saliba expected to start?

no plan to bring in Bruno?

Sounds like a good plan. Go for it if you’re set on just having Greenwood as utd cover. I would rather Armstrong + Antonio over per + Mitro personally

Not for me, no. I think that, as good as he is, he's a system player. Wait and see, ESPECIALLY with Mou imo.

Maybe, bar the Thursday night football.

Neither

Latter pair, ASM easier to move-up from, don't want to get stuck on a 5.

Messi

gLuE gUy

Was getting in Doc's way, an AMN type would be best for him.

Yeah not a fan of defensive double ups (unless it’s pool)

Fine - palace attack was blunt after lockdown

Completely personal. Most people on here are averse to it, understandably

But I process it like this:

a) they're cheap
b) some weeks they will inevitably concede and probably via a scappy own goal in the 92nd minute
c) However, don't see double ups as one offs, but as possibility over blocks. So in the first 10 games (say), they obtain 4 clean sheets then thise 4 GWs will have received an excellent boost to those weekly scores. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. Even the personal who wins overall doesn not smash it every single gameweek

They had a very slow start to last season..
