Comedy to see all these BB19 teams with the benching issues they have now.
I mean I've seen people benching people who are prime options this week like Bamford, Antonio, AWB, Grealish, Coufal and many more besides.
I think I'd just sell them for Bissouma/Brewster whoever... just so I don't have that pain of seeing such (potentially) big scores on my bench 😉
Not the greatest top post and I also realize on reflection that I sound like a bit of a d**k laughing at others' sticky situation.
Wasn't my intention 🙂
The only thing you said or did wrong was apologise ya nugget 🙂 . Upsetting a few snowflakes now and then should be part of anyone's lifes mission 😆
I have a benching headache now after my failed BB . I blame covid but in reality i haven't thought it through
On the plus side if you own Leeds players like most you will be set up for their possible double ? Not all bad
Leeds will not have a double gw.
How come?
Oh ffs. Well yes a total headache and waste of time
That doesnt mention they won't have a blank, just that we don't know when it will be.
They have played 1 less game, so they will have to have a double at some point.
Unless they tag on a gw 19 just for leeds, which won't happen.
Southampton beat Arsenal in the cup so Leeds vs Southampton can't be played in GW23 now. Leeds will have a double but not anytime soon now.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense to me.
I read "they won't have a dgw" and I couldn't wrap my head around how Leeds who have extra fixtures would fit them into the current remaining gameweeks without this having a dgw at some point.
Of course they will, just not soon is the takeaway from the thread
Yeh which means holding Leeds players for the double no longer makes as much sense. If it was in 2 GW time then fine but earliest is probably now GW26 which feels like too long and there will be loads of teams doubling that week so plenty of options to choose from instead.
Correct
Of course.I wrote "they won't have a dgw" in answer to PUMPY PRO's post because.And i guess he was speaking for gw23.
I was yes
It's how long you can hold em for as benching headache gets worse and you start benching points and losing patience. Nothing worse than benching points
Haha.. see below.
Zouma is on the chop list, will become cheap fodder.
And wilson has to go.
Generally I always have a cheapo bench..
So BB GW38 is the only solution?
Haha
A good BB has that problem for the next 2-3 games.But this season those who used their BB now have an advantage because there are four games in twelve days.Strong bench would be really helpfull.
Well with the season that it is, having a strong bench isn't a bad thing
Got 22 points off mine but I’m stuck with triple arsenal
At least it’s not a benching headache as 2/3 can happily rot on there haha
Bench wilson/saka someone else?
Have kdb, will probably become gundo
Awb - dias - cancelo - Cresswell
Son - Bruno f - gundo (saka)
Kane - Bamford (wilson)
Zouma - soucek
I'd do the KDB > Gundy move and yes, I'd probably go with Saka, Wilson & Soucek on my bench too but it's a tough one for sure.
I'll have these benching issues later on the season when I play BB too... can't wait 🙁
I can play one of saka or wilson.
One hand wilson has leeds.
On the other hand newcastle are crap and saka has some form!
Morning everyone...
would you rather have in your team Gundogan or Grealish??
Grealish
that was my plan before kdb injury...just a bit hesitant going without city cover apart from defense..
I've got both as they are both great value. Gundy might end up being a short term pick whereas Grealish is definitely a good pick right until the end barring injury.
So Gundy short term, and Grealish long term
thanks for input
Gundogan
Grealish
if it was not for the four yellow cards, i would say grealish - but now its on gundi
When does the 4 cards get wiped? If he gets through the next game?
Two more games l think
Grealish
Start two of these?
a) Raphinha
b) Coufal
c) Holding
d) Mitchell
Currently on Raphinha and Coufal
I'd do the same
a & b
0FT, 7.5 ITB.
GTG and bench order right? Plan on doing Adams -> after GW 20.
Martinez
Dias Stones Coufal
Gondogan Bruno Salah Son
Bamford Antonio Adams
Johnstone Bednarek Dallas Bissouma
Dallas first sub
True
How the ffffffffk have you got 7.5 itb?
I just sold KDB for Gundo.
*Bottomed*
TAA...
Stay or go? Chasing in ML and I'm the only one that has him. Which might suggest why I'm chasing!!!!!
TAA at 7.3M has less points than Ayling, Holding or Cash. Need I say more?
No.... I just needed to hear it
vardy to :
A watkins
B DCL
C ings
D kane
money is no issue, but i do plan next week to do soucek to son and i dont have grealish - if these facts helop with the decicion
another option - dont take the hit and play dalas (new)
Probably between Kane and Watkinds depending on your plans after
Kane x 1000
Comparing Kane to Watkins is an insult to Kane
Lol
if you already have double Villa, I would avoid Watkins, and if you have Son you dont need Kane. I quite like Ings and DCL
Why would you not need Kane if you have Son? I don't get this.
Kane will score more than DCL and Ings, with or without Son.
Thoughts please. 1 FT
Martinez
Dias, Robertson, Dallas, Coufal
Salah, Fernandes, KDB*, Grealish
Bamford, Antonio
Johnstone | Adams, Mitchell, Bissouma
Q1: which transfer
A) KDB -> Sterling
B) KDB -> Gundogan to allow Adams -> Kane next week
Q2. Who to bench?
A) Dallas
B) Coufal
C) Adams
pretty similar to me
on paper, the smart move is Gund this week Kane next week but i'm feeling Sterling this week (see post below)
probably bench Coufal
Q1? I would do B or Kdb to Son because I think you might regret not owning atleast 1 spurs especially since they’ll be heavily captained in GW21 and 23
Q2?C Southampton and Adams are in poor offensive form
Is TAA + KDB > Maguire + Son -4 wise? Need rid of trent.
TAA -> Maguire for -4 is the opposite of wise
Kdb to Gundogan seems the wise move with pens but I'm really tempted by Sterling this week! Gut feel more than anything
If he fails then Gund + Kane in next week
Ye sterling or gundo is the big question
I prefer sterling buy the fact gundo enables Kane is the attraction
i know some say if both were the same price you'd buy gund based on form but feel with a -4 i can still get Kane next week if Sterling doesn't return
Gundogan is a trap.
That’s what I’m wary of - is he just on a hot run that won’t last and is he a rotation risk
The fact he looks like he is on penalties does add to the appeal though
don't think he's a rotation risk but the advanced role of late is surprising
if he went 3/4 games in a row without scoring you wouldn't even notice but a sterling haul in any game can happen
also gw22 city home to SHU, could be a good captaincy shout given lack of standout options
*gw21
Gundowagon boarded. It's too late for me.
Let's go!!!
Hi Dazz, why do you feel Gundo is a trap....? on current form he is the clear pick and at 5.5m its no more a risk than Soucek, Saka and others ?? Keen to know your view.
Top form mid in the game right now and he costs.... tchan nah! 5.5 ladies & gentleman...
I'm going Sterling
Grealish (bur sou WHU) or Rashford (SHU ars SOU) next three?
Grealish
You take hits in the first part of the season to build high team value for the second part of the season, then big hitters like KDB and Vardy get taken out of the game and everybody can afford the team they want. What's the point?
That’s the game
Overrated strategy?
TV doesn't mean anything, it never did.
That's the game , luck plays its part, just have to adapt. I still believe those who plan and are patient will have more chance of success.
This sounds like stock market, which is probably true
The point of the game is to get points, not team value.
Any thoughts here?
Pope
Stones/Coufal/Dias/Dallas
Salah/Barnes/Sterling(c)/Fernandes
Antonio/Bamford
Johnstone Wood/Raphinha/Ogbonna
1ft 0.1itb
Very nice GTG and roll transfer
cheers
Looks good. I'd save
cheers
Which to buy this week with 1 FT, Son or Barnes?
Planning to buy both in the coming 2 weeks, but just thinking of which one to buy first. Son seems safer with higher ownership, but he is facing Liverpool and Barnes is facing Everton
Also many here suggest Gundy, but personally I'm worried about the City attack without KDB
FPL golden rule: NEVER OWN BARNES
Barnes is in the Walcott and Barkley category for me - occasionally does something useful so people buy him then he gets no points for 10 weeks straight
Thanks for the reply. I actually bought Barnes for one game this year before WC (for a hit), and that didn't turn out well indeed....
But seems to be more consistent at the moment, and saw somewhere that mentioned he scored 4 goals in 5 games that Iheanacho started...
Or do you think I should buy Gundy / Grealish next week instead? Currently planning on Son this week
Son is a great pick obviously for the long term but not great fixture this week
Think Gundo is possibly too hard to ignore with the stars aligning with a lot of things, price, fixtures, form, on penalties, reduced rotation risk. He won’t be a long term pick though
What is this Vardy hernia news?! I just bought him for a hit a few days ago
Time to take another hit to remove him
Yeah maybe next week. I’m not hitting for another lousy attacker.
Unlucky!
Of my 15 players, the only player with a lower official FPL 'Form' rating than Salah is DCL who has been injured.
DCL - 1
Salah - 2.2
Is he anyone's lowest?
Only Johnstone for me at 1.2 is lower.
Salah up there with injured players and West Brom's covid ridden goalie...
Wouldn't surprise if Burke beats him in upcoming weeks
Yes mine
Made two transfers for a 4pt hit.
KDB to Grealish.
Smith Rowe to Gundogan.
Beginning to think I should have kept ESR. For caught up with everyone transferring in Gundogan but ESR has been doing well.
I'm a gooner so that came into my thinking also. Worst case if ESR does well at least Arsenal will have scored!
*got caught up.
KDB to Grealish was more than enough...
"7 goals scored by David McGoldrick (£5.2m) in the Premier League against the big six. He’s the highest goalscorer in Premier League history with 100% of his goals to come against sides to have played in every season"
Has anyone told Alan Shearer that Eddie McGoldrick has stolen his record?
Ouch, should I bench DDG then?
It's David not Eddie, Mark.
Ah ah ah
Martínez / McCarthy
Dias / Stones / Cresswell / Saïss / Dallas
Salah / KDB / Bruno / Grealish / Soucek
Antonio / Watkins / Bamford
Maddison, Son, Gündogan, or Foden in for KDB?
Which version of WC setup looks better?
Martinez
Cancelo Stones Shaw
Bruno Son Grealish Gundo Maddison
Kane Antonio
Johnstone Bamford Dallas Mitchell
Martinez
Digne (Maybe AWB) Cancelo Justin
Sterling Son Bruno Gundo
Ings Kane Antonio
Forster Dallas ESR Mitchell
A with Areola for Johnstone
Top
First one
Both look great mate!! I would go for the Fulham keeper of Johnstone, from my experience it’s not fun owing Johnstone I started him for 3 games and he returned 0,2,0!!! I didn’t him for Areola on WC, Fulham have 2 games extra to play and only conceded a 1/2 at a time whereas West Brom can shop 4/5 at at time!!
Good morning everyone!! Kindly start one from each section........
A- Holding(Southampton away)
B- Dawson(Palace away)
And
1- Saka(Southampton away)
2- Soucek(Palace away)
Currently on B1
Cheers folks!!!!
B1
B1
B 2
Cheers guys!!!! Thankyou for your input!!!
Hello everyone. Would you make any changes to this team?
Martinez.
Dias. Coufal. Robertson.
Salah. Bruno(c). Son. Grealish. Soucek
Bamford. Antonio.
Subs: McCarthy. Adams. Mitchell. Dunne
Imo, the only possible debate is Soucek vs Adams. I'd start Soucek like you, but I am biased, becuase I have Adams too and can't wait to transfer him out.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm giving Soucek one last chance and then he's gone.
WC active. Need help with final two picks. Which please guys??
A) Stones and Grealish
B) Cancelo and Barnes
Martinez - Sanchez
Dias - Shaw - Justin - Mitchell - ???
Salah - Bruno - Son - Gundo - ???
Kane - Bamford - Antonio
A
Thx Aleksa! Any reason for those two instead of the others?
Grealish is a much better short and long term pick than punt on Barnes or Maddi, without them having Vardy. I have Cancelo too and I am waiting for that haul for ages. Stones is a safe pick, he is nailed. So as long as the"potenital" hauls cointinue, they'll end up having same amount of points.
Perfect! Thanks A, really appreciate it and good advice! 🙂
B Cancelo Traore
Traore is definitely not a bad shout! But I think I prefer Barnes over Traore if I don’t get Grealish. Cheers mate!
Traore would potentially beat Barnes in the next 3-4 GWs purely due to AVL are solid full team whilst LEI without Vardy are still to see
Really good advice! I’m tempted with Barnes as the new attacking threat with Vardy out, but you’re right, it might affect them more negatively than in a positive way. Prob a wait and see...good call! Cheers! 🙂
A - and I don’t think it’s close
Thanks dragon! You don’t think Cancelo playing as an attacking mid over Stones gives more upside? Appreciate Jack is better than Harvey regardless...
Stones is more nailed on than Cancelo which I think can even out the extra potential upside of attacking returns from Cancelo.
I’ve not watched enough city but Cancelo is getting to the Maupay stage where everything says he should get attacking returns but never does. Not sure if it’s all an illusion
Thanks mate. I think you are right. Appreciate the input! 🙂
Maupay does not get CS though
which attacker will be benched??
I know this week it’s tough! I plan to bench Antonio as can’t bench Kane even against pool and bambam against Newcastle is just too good!
Martinez
Cancelo (c) / Coufal / Stones
Maddison / Salah / Bruno / Grealish
Kane / Antonio / Bamford
Johnstone / Dallas / Soucek / Holding
Correct bench/bench order?
Yep and salute for Cancelo [C]
Cancelo (c) is the act of someone who has lost their mind in rage at Dias and Stones hauling last week and Cancelo not.
Let. it.Go
: D I had Stones for his haul, so no rage here.
I just this Cancelo is due that attacking return soon and want to capitalise on ML rivals who don't even have him.
It could all end in disaster and a 10 min cameo due to rotation but with the gameweeks coming quick and fast, I'm keen to take a gamble.
TV does not mean anything
Some bought Stones and Antonio instead of Cancelo and Vardy due to budget 😉
Sometimes cheaper players score more than expensive players
But most of the times there is a reason why they're more expensive... especially long term
Why are all the games this week on BT?
I'm gonna have to relent and get BT to go with Sky. Expensive hobby this.
What phone contract you got, I get BT sport free with EE 🙂
I've got EE! Not sure why I don't get BT tbh
Thats why you shouldn't pay for such stuffs
Raphina to Grealish?
Could be better weeks to do it...
Those with Pool assists holding or selling?
No rush this week to remove Salah but Robbo to Shaw, Maguire or Justin is calling?
Holding but it’s probably a mistake - I’ve come too far with Robbo now plus they must start scoring again their xG is still ok
I have been holding through the mainly low scores meanwhile Justin etc have punished me badly!
Rate my team seems to indicate Robbo to United for a hit will be worth it?
He is still highest scoring defender on the game so i don’t think he is doing as badly as it feels
2m more for 1 point over Creswell, 2 m is Maddy to Son
Unfortunately Kevin got injured, would have been so much easier to drop Salah.
Rage transferred out Zouma to Mitchell after playing BB chip.
Now looking to invest in United & Leicester
Personally minded to see if possible to get away without Salah up until GW26 (he’ll probably have a double that week too)
8 or 9 of Pool’s final 13 fixtures look quite nice...Whereas only 1 of his next 6 looks really profitable on current form...
He obviously can’t keep blanking forever though so always playing with fire going without
But spurs & West Ham defences for his next two aren’t exactly haemorrhaging goals at the minute either
Wild Rover has been gambling on no Pool, he got 165 this week!
Captained Salah 4 of his 5 blanks, including one TC.
Still managed to get green arrows somehow.
Now im thinking Salah(C) again. The Zambian witch doctor predicted five blanks, not six...
Thoughts on Salah(C) against Spurs?
If you believe in that stupid thing, sure, go ahead. One day he will score for sure... 😀
I've had him captain for all 5 of his blanks. I semi-believed in the curse so I didn't triple him last week at least! Bruno (c) surely. Salah hasn't been unlucky, he's just been crap.
Up vote this.
He looks woefully out of form
Doing a Sanchez & Ozil
What's the rationale Salah [C] v TOT?
Cheers all
Son of Kane? Don't Know who to get..
I think Kane’s son is a bit young to be bringing into your team this season
He is playing a different type of fantasy.
