Ex-Premier League star Matt Holland on FPL, early team news – and Mark Sutherns!

Thanks Champ!

Nothing I can see other than the same Pep quote. It didn’t look good though

Seen a few rumours it could be a month out.

Thanks guys

Madness to avoid Salah at home to Burnley

It's certainly viable, but all things considered I think I'm still leaning on 'correcting' myself and getting Greenwood. Mbuemo and Lucas Moura are the other two, I'm trying to decide if there's an advantage in the cash saved.

With a keeper and a defender, I'll take any number of 0-0s.

Coin toss!

Either could do great. Or likely both.

Roll. Looking at the CS odds, keep the defence as it is. Prefer an attacker over Cresswell. You may get him off the bench if Watkins isn't fit

Roll the transfer if you've no major changes needed. It's only one week in, better to bank the transfers for when there is more data imo.

Cresswell first sub is fine I think, Leicester could be a tricky game. If you want to play him, I'd bench Buendia or Watkins (probably the latter due to fitness issues).

Buendia wasnt great. I would consider starting Cresswell agead of him.

Yes. Lovely team.

yup

Simples

Mos def

Lovely, thanks chaps

Stick with what you know now and plan for next week. If nothing pressing just chilax.

60 mins then hooked. More than enough time for the king to haul though.

Under 15 mins in the last game and 1 weeks training, I think he is pushing for a start.

Seems the most likely to replace Gund

I would go with Stones. Laporte looking to move and Ake not good enough. Too much uncertainty with rotation in the FBs

Cancelo is frustrating, gets in great positions and certainly assist potential, but his finishing is poor. Dias is the safe option but I’d want some more attacking threat for the price. I’d wait for improvement in fixtures and then go Stones

I like Stones. Great threat in the air and hopefully won't be rotated too much. Will likely move for him from Maguire when ManUtd's fixtures turn

Last season I had Stones and was happy if you are ok with the occasional benching. This season have gone with Dias but thinking I should have just picked Stones. I'd recommend Stones if you have a decent bench

D of course. Best fixture in the league

D obviously. Why would you use a transfer on taking out a Man City attacker before a home game v Norwich, before you even knew if he was going to be out?

D but not looking good.

If Gundo is out and you want a City player then Grealish is a good replacement. He should start

Too much hype around Pogba. Wait and see if his good performance continues.

Sarr is a good long term pick especially GW4 onwards

I assume you have Greenwood/Benrahma?

Thanks for the feedback guys

I would save to give you more flexibility in GW3. Also you gain another 90 mins of info.

Salah should read torres.

New to this!

Nothing in the bank

I can't see Amartey starting GW2 after a poor game and Vestergaard should be available to start ahead of him.

Personally i would hold, Torres would be my choice to change but after Norwich.

I am going to wait for the Chelsea fixtures to turn green!

Plenty to think about after the weekend and another week will hopefully tell us more. Holding assets for now

Too early for me. I would like to see how he plays under TT. Nacho needs sorting out in your team though

Tempted to do it this week. Although seems silly to lose Ings before good fixtures but I worry for how poor Villa were. My plan was always to do the move I just didn't know for sure if I'd wait until GW4 or not. Thing is I think I need to roll transfers for GW4 to give myself a good chance of dealing with possible missing players due to quarantine, and moving him in for Liverpool feels a little silly if I can do it for an Arsenal team that looks so poor so it'll either be this week or GW4.

Not sure what the question is. I would hold all 3 if you have them. If you want to bring in 1 of them then probably Greenwood but he is a short term pick. Cavani will return to training today. Greenwood may be guaranteed 1-2 starts until it becomes a concern

Gotta be C for Norwich mate!!

C - stick to the plan

C - imagine he started and got a hat-trick

Others looking to get in mahrez

C. Surely Mahrez is there for Norwich at home and not Tottenham away.

A - Nah, Gundo price likely to go down, and rotation may happen after Norwich game anyways.
B - Not terrible shouts although it's a wait and see for Spurs players other than Son, imo
C - Can't go wrong with Leeds
D - Fantastic short term option although, always the fear the may switch to 5 at the back.

I have same dilemma. Best option for me is most likely to replace him with Greenwood, although do think that's potentially a short term move.

I think Gundo will go down in price so I will likely shift him out.

Do you think bringing in Sarr, benching him for 2 weeks and playing him once fixtures swing? That would mean playing both Veltman and Ayling for the next 2 which i'm not completely against but I fear Greenwood could punish me...

I wouldn't worry about that happens after IB.

Ground could have shifted again by then.

Richalison didnt have to isolate (as far as i know) after the olympics

Yes. Even without.

Raphinha carries more of an attacking threat normally. Harrison was fairly anonymous on Saturday.

I would get son if there was a way to him

I am in a similar situation, either Barnes > Greenwood this week, or Mahrez > Son next week.

Very much 50/50 right now

Oh I’d wait for Son.

Thanks all Son seems to be the consensus

Easy hold this week.

Keep

Keep and get Son in next week.

Hold the transfer.

I have Greenwood as thought there’d be early returns, but I’m already thinking of exit strategy. If you buy him now, you’ll have a week less of him as a guaranteed starter, and potentially two transfers used signing and selling him within a few weeks.

Especially as you have an easy way to Son, which I would love to have!

Sounds like what you're asking is what scores more:

A) Ayling (EVE)
B) Greenwood (sot) -4
C) Benrahma (LEI) -4

Play Ayling

The latter easily.

My worry is that CTY are likely to get medieval with NOR so some investment is necessary. Not sure who though. Possibly Mahrez.

Give Barnes a couple more games.

Hold and monitor Lingard potential move.

I was all set for Benrahma but after seeing his attacking data, I am now not so keen.

Hi littleb, I'm thinking the exact same ..Having Antonio as the only WH attacker is no benefit due to ownership , also I feel Barnes will be taken off at 70 mins and he maybe a player we should get later on in the season when back to fitness Also if Leicester move to 442 , his place might be at risk

If you get no answers the whole page is covered with this.
I’m just looking at Greenwood.

After watching TOT/CTY my only thought was, Son. How he we get him in is another matter.

I’m looking at someone 6.5 and below to create some money for son the following week.

Traore, Benny and Raph at the top of my list. Wanted Raphinha before the whole news about isolating, which makes me nervous.

I have Gundo and Greenwood. I also have Vardy on purpose. My thought has been to pic up Luku in GW 3 with 2 FT. Now with Gundo's injury, my thoughts have been answered on who to drop. For Luku, I will need an extra mil to do so. Thinking Benrhama this GW with back to back Home fixtures in GW 2 & 3. This move will free up 1.5 itb for Luku in GW 3. Benrhama has also been on form through out pre-season.

Soucek or Zaha

What happened to him?

If i was to gamble i say he starts again. Possibly last chance saloon for him

I own but have him benched 1st sub
