Cristiano Ronaldo has finally been priced up by Fantasy Premier League (FPL) following the completion of his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United.

The 36-year-old striker has been listed as a forward in FPL and comes in at £12.5m, making him the joint-most expensive player in the game alongside Mohamed Salah.

Ronaldo is £1.0m pricier than Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) and some £400k dearer than Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m), who many Fantasy managers are seemingly offloading in order to fund a move for his incoming compatriot.

The former Juve and Real Madrid man’s FPL price, as is the case with all new additions, will be locked for seven days upon his Tuesday lunchtime inclusion in the game.

Fernandes remains, for now, the most-owned player in the game despite the 100,000+ sales since the Gameweek 3 deadline.

    So Bruno, Ings and Lukaku being mass sold. Gotta feel for those who blew their transfer on Torres 🙂

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Why Lukaku?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Easier move to Ronaldo I guess

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Love it if Kaku drops

    3. Team Bobcat

      Sad day to Torres owners for sure. So unhappy 😉

      Keep the lime light away from Torres folks suiting me fine

      How does Torres fit in? Surely everyone knew Ronaldo was being signed.

  2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Does this look ok:

    Sanchez
    TAA White Dier
    Salah Raph Traore Sarr
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    Steele Livra Gilmour Williams

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      It sure does

      I'm debating Dier or Sanchez but concerned about Romero - whose going to be dropped?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Sanchez i think.

    3. The Mantis

      White !?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

        Yes. If fit.

    Do you think Ben white will be 4.3 before next game?

    He’s on about -50 atm

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully. He is on my WC draft.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wasn't selling but annoying anyway, can't "flex" my TV.

    3. mcpoop
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah but depends on wildcards

    5. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      cant see it personally. those that will have sold, have sold. whilst most are now scrambling to get in Ronaldo, and you cant get funds from White to do that, or its on wildcard so it wont count anyway.

      might be a slow drift there over the next few GWs if he doesnt get a return. he is good value @4.4 with those fixtures to be fair.

    Hey! Got any feedback on my WC team?
    Cheers

    Sanchez
    TAA | Shaw | Semedo
    Salah | Jota | Greenwood | Benrahma
    Ronny | Antonio | Jimenez

    Steele | McArthur | Livramento | Williams

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Benny's done. Or is he?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        On borrowed time. I give him 2 more games. I had him for the start but wouldn't bring him in at this stage.

  5. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Any obvious errors with this WC draft? It's a toss up between Jota and Greenwood for now, can't really decide, think Gray could well be the bargain of the century and at 5.6m is an absolute steal, Ronaldo can easily be changed to Lukaku from GW7 onwards.

    Sa
    Trent - Rudiger - Semedo
    Salah - Raphina - Torres - Jota - Gray
    Ronaldo - Antonio

    Bench: Sondegaard - Cucho - Livramento - Ayling

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Very like, but Cucho to a 4.5 or just cash ITB?

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        None of the 4.5's are playing, thought I best play it safe and have at least all playing subs, always an option to downgrade him to someone if I need .5 to fund another move? Not sure where I'd use that additional .5 to be fair, unless I was to go for someone like Lloris in net.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I knew that meant a non-player, my thoughts were with 2 playing subs anyway should be okay and money in the bank for a rainy day makes you more flexible moving forward.

  6. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like the most common trend at the moment based on fplstats are

    1) Bruno --> Torres, Ings --> Ronaldo
    2) the straight swap Lukaku --> Ronaldo

  7. Jdpz
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is Bruno + Toney to Lukaku + Traore good move for -4points?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure. Don't think Traore will ever get any returns.

  8. mcpoop

    Thoughts on Perica Toney and Bruno to Ronaldo Pukki and Gimlour (-4)?

    Current team

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Ayling Dier Tsimikas
    Bruno Salah Benrahma Raphinha Son
    Toney Antonio Perica

    1. mcpoop

      Salah also good. Leeds play quite open so will have space to run in behind as he likes to do.

    Bruno should be worth just 4.5mil with Ronaldo arriving

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      He's scored less than my 4.5 mid in the last 2 gameweeks

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Hahaha.
        I was going to transfer him in for a hit after gw1 but just couldn't decide who to remove...so left it. Glad I did, but I would still very much like to get him!

    2. Rassi
      • 11 Years

      9-10m would be fair for Penanless.

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah but we are doing hyperbole on here, today. So...4.0mil. Might as well rwd flag him, he will be that useless

  15. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Looking at this at the minute (on WC):

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Chilwell VVD Marcal (Liv Duffy)
    Salah Raphinha Sarr Gray (Gilmour)
    Antonio Ronaldo Lukaku

    Have the option of going with Matip over VVD, lets me go with Semedo over Marcal and upgrading Gilmour to a 5.5 (thinking Cantwell as a punt), but VVD makes me feel less bad about having to drop TAA and might be easier to get back to him if I need to.

    1. Vote Joke
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Why Chilwell? Alonso seems to be in favour

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Tuchel said he's not been involved as he came back late and hasn't been up to speed and he didn't want to throw him into the deep end, but he's ready now. I know Alonso might still end up playing v Villa but I'd still take the chance, Chilwell for 5.8 (probably 5.7 by the time the deadline is upon us) is too hard to resist

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      You can really afford that??

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years

        Easy with no TAA.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, exactly at the minute. I'm using my WC to try build tv as well at the minute (probably unlikely to work with everyone being dropped for Ronaldo with the hype train in full motion but worth a shot)

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Is there any point having Kaku if you aren't going to captain him for the next 2 weeks?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I'll be captaining him this week, I've had him since GW2 and think I'll keep him for the majority of the season

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Imagine if there were a GW1 squad. The likely response you would get is that it has a lack of flexibility, particularly around certain price points. If the likes of Sarr/Gray dont work out where do you go from there? Not having TAA, or the ability to invest in the "false" premiums such as Jota, Torres, Grealish, Greenwood, Mount, Havertz etc can really hurt. The premiums are not good value in a vacuum, they only work with the captaincy. At this stage of the season I would caution against having 3 as team value isnt really enough to sustain it.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers for the response, good points. I've had Lukaku since GW2 and think I'll be keeping him for the majority of the season, I think Chelsea are the team to beat and that he'll do well. Not to say the likes of Mount, Havertz, Ziyech (if he can stay fit) won't do well but I like to try have the majority of my team be players I can trust will play nearly every game.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry hit post by accident.

        Not keeping TAA was a hard choice for sure, definitely wasn't taken lightly, but Salah looks so sharp to me that I don't feel I can drop him. Not to say that I wouldn't get TAA back in (going with VVD as above would make it easier), if Firmino is out I'd likely move Salah to Jota and VVD to TAA after a couple of weeks. I don't have Bruno or Greenwood currently, I wasn't keen on Bruno after his poor form at the end of last season and in the Euros, but I I Ronaldo will monopolise a lot of ManUtd attacking points. He will absolutely still give Bruno scope for assists and can make space for the likes of Greenwood and Sancho (and Rashford) but I think he's generally too greedy to give them any chances where he has anything near a half-chance himself (and that makes a great FPL asset of course, like Salah).

        Definitely food for thought though, maybe TAA and Jota over Salah is better, might help me to keep Son and you're right, there is little flexibility there.

        Thanks! Although it can be a headache having so many good players and potentially good players to choose from, it's fun seeing some more variety around in some teams and in trying to find good options for my own. I don't think I've ever had so many different drafts in my head at once.

  16. Bada Bing
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Can Ronaldo's price rise during the IB or is his price locked until the next deadline? I have the exact money to get him without a hit but I'd like to wait and see he doesn't get injured playing for his country. Cheers.

      WHU just bought an attacking mid, Europa league in September and is he playing over the IB too ?

      Personally I'm contemplating doing it to enable Ronaldo, because I'll still have Antonio, rotation worries due to European games starting soon and rotation worries and positional changes with the arrival of Vlasic

    Which 2 transfers?
    A) DCL, Ings and Barnes for a -4 to Lukaku (c), Dennis, Traore
    B) Ings and Barnes to Jiminez and Torres

      Combination of fplstats and fix between them are usually pretty close

      Worth the punt if you can't afford otherwise

    Best 7.0 or lower midfielder to have?

    I already have Raphinha and Benrahma

      Bergwin?

    Is Allan @ 4.5 nailed? Or should I just gamble on tried and tested-ish sissoko?

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years

      Bissouma

      1. jayzico
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Can't afford after his rise

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Gotcha

    1. -8 for Ronaldo

    2. WC

    3. No Ronaldo

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      3 for now

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Really? Not the answer I was hoping for first.

    2. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      -8 might be too much of a hit to take (speaking from experience).

      And I think it's too early for a wildcard.

      I'd for Lukaku instead in this case tbh.

    Wonder how many players will fall in price because of Ronaldo..

  30. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I think I've gone crazy;

    Sanchez, Raya
    Alonso, Shaw, Tanganga, Livramento, Duffy
    Salah, Torres, Benhrama, Gray, Gilmour
    Ronaldo, Lukaku, Antonio

    Thoughts please?

    1. Stupendous

      Lovely team indeed

    2. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I would have TAA over alone and shaw

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Who do you bring in as the second?

    3. dabber7

      Spurs trying to sign Emerson which would effect Tanganga's minutes.
