FPL Gameweek 12: The key player and team statistics

...so far 😀

But how many times was the next game vs. one of the worst teams in the league with a fixture vs. the top of the table team a few days later?

And X-mas period is coming up now, not the usual.

I remember him getting benched against Everton last season in a similar schedule. Wasn’t after CL but was during this period.

Either way, he does not play 90 against Fulham.

Yes Do it

All of them

He’s my C

It’s basically my team so good 🙂

I mean it looks good, but Son and Kane each have 10 points more than any other player.....

I have the identical front 8 and still I want Son in.

Oh my there goes my C

I agree. Was my plan to get Salah for a hit, not so sure about that now.

Salah starts and comes off at 60 mins or comes on last 30 mins, either way he could score a brace.

Salah will have started 5 games in 15 days if he starts against Fulham. And with a hectic Christmas schedule ahead. I'm concerned and I think that's justified

Point 1 is definitely not a given

Beautiful. Now go through with it.

And Salah had covid issue recently which might not be a worry anymore but it doesn't really help either to be fit to play all 3 games UCL, Fulham, Spurs.

Does it take in to account the fact that Salah was out with covid and needs minutes for match sharpness and fitness. He was bought off early v Brighton remember.

I think I’m just going to get him in after the Spurs game and avoid the headache

You’re having a laugh surely? 😆

Better to play safe. Going for Mane(c), already have Jota.

Either Jota or Salah will start from the bench vs. Fulham.

90+ against Wolves 3days later 90+ against Midjylland , 4d break a.d x mins against Fulham and defo starting against Spurs after 3d....

No keep him but not C

You got him in knowing the rotation risk right? What's changed?

McCarthy?

Won’t tonight I don’t think

Jota, don't go anywhere near Pulisic imo

A but Werner & Robbo out.

A with Mane otherwise D with Dias or Matip

Salah will definitely withstand the game every 3 days.

Jota's just Spud in Trainspotting.

Nobody thinks that in any way shape or form. Sh1t straw man instead of addressing the actual concerns people have about this game in particular (and the potential impact on overall minutes long term)

You shouldn’t make that conclusion just because you own Salah. I own Salah and I think there’s a big chance he’s benched. Spurs 3 days after and Palace after that. Jota can do a job against Fulham and then if it’s not going to plan, bring on Salah.

Mane also got benched against Brighton when he played 90+ 2 weeks ago.

Obviously Jota isn't as good as Salah. The point of a squad player isn't to be as good as the first choice options. It's to step in when you might want to give those first choice options a rest.

Like, for example, when the first choice player is facing an easy game against relegation candidates that comes off the back of two 90 min games in a short space of time and right before a top of the table clash. That tends to be the type of situation players can be rested in.

Unless you think Salah will play every single minute of every single game, Jota will be stepping in for him at some point.

One thing we know for sure, Mane will start both games and it’s a great differential.

City could have easily scored more though.

Not with that defence no.

I don't think you need Son and Kane. Pick one and spread the funds. There's enough value in attack (Bamford) and at the back (James)

No that’s how I used to play the game and never ended well, of course doesn’t mean it won’t with this season, just feel you need points from every position to do well.
Plus it’s more flexible long term.

Yes....FPL for Idiots team looks great.

I have 7 of that front 8, with Che instead of Welbeck and a similar trash defense with Balbuena, Webster, Cresswell 4.0 3.8

Definitely not

Horribly unbalanced

Anyone with decent TV could get

4.5

James 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5

Salah Son Bruno KDB Raphinha

Kane Bamford.

Sadly my TV isn't good enough.

That would bring in:
Groß for his games against ful SHU straight up
Bruno for shu LEE and keep him

Want to keep Grealish but need Son for that fixture swing in GW14/15 onwards

I've done the same. Now not sure whether to cap him or not.
I have Son, KDB, Bruno, Jota, Bamford...currently tempted to stick the armband on Son

They do have the capacity to frustrate higher teams, byt wouldn't be surprised if it's a palace wipeout at the same time

Salah is playing Fulham

I’m buying Son this week I think

1 Pointer.

No, just quit now.

Thats what I asked myself last week...did not survive

There are a lot of discussions here on Salah potentially being rested against Fulham. If that is the case and bearing in mind that KDB faces United, you may survive this gameweek without owning either of these players

Yeah, should be okay this week

Salah may not start, so maybe you can do without him, but KDB is a must. Did you see Man U defense against RB Leipzig?

not a problem if your players also go well.....

No way! DCL and Jota are great picks and to sacrifice these two to bring in KDB makes no sense to me at all

wellbeck and Ziyech are your problems more than DCL?
Jota - just play him and take the rough with the smooth for his low cost

Roll the transfer, why make bench moves, you then have 2 to do any move triggered by this weekends carnage

A if you are going to play Vestergaard this week.

Maybe, but it's hard to look pass KDB playing as a #10, which I expect him to play vs United.

Yes

A

1 by miles

1 although I would wait for Newcastle news

Yeah, decent option

The concern here is mainly about capping the wrong player, I think
