At what point do his training methods start getting questioned? The injuries at Leeds must result from how their players are being asked to train and play.

I would not have Shaw in a WC team. Maybe get TAA and a cheaper goalie.

Alison, Shaw and JRod
To
4.5, Trent and 4.5

Feels like a bit of a fudge between the short term (Benrahma, Sarr) and the longer term (Dias, who has very poor immediate fixtures).

I guess that's the issue with WCing two weeks prior to the big fixture swings.

I would get rid of Grealish to fit in TAA tbf.

Neigh

easy Yay

Just Bam > Ant

Dial up?

you only have 2

What do you think the answers will be?

Gallagher for sure if you can afford.

Nice balance, would need to see the bench but I wouldnt be rushing to get Grealish into your team and leaving Ronaldo out, he is fixture proof and will score 30 goals this season.

If WC you need Salah, Luk, Ron and TAA. Build the rest of the team around them. They are your 3 captains every week and your mega scoring DEF

Looks nice

Awesome Wildcard

Again not 100% set on Grealish and bailey as picks - could swap bailey to whoever is on a roll come GW7 but I like the villa attack.

3 premiums plus trent and antonio is hard to get but honestly i think antonio outscores ronaldo so he's more essential for me

I like it. Wouldn’t go Shaw and Cancelo looks like rising tonight so you will be priced out of that.

It has very little flexibility with a 3mium but this is as close as it gets.

Got to hope that the midfield can keep up but you've got the best options around that price so it'll probably work.

Good team, just think mid is too punty and you're already planning transfers. I'd do:
Begovic > 4.0
Shaw > Alonso
Gallagher > Raph

I would transfer out Bruno & Toney to Ronaldo/Lukaku & Gallagher

😆

I really don't like it tbh. Dier, Ayling, ESR, Schmeichel, Toney all out for me. Do you have WC?

A

Gray vs Norwich

A if fit. Zaha / Gallagher then

Do you have a WC still? If so I'd be tempted to use it given the structural changes you need to make

Who's your captain for this GW?

If you don't own Salah yet, probably you can get him after City game.

May I ask why are so many people interested in Dennis, and nobody in Jishua King?

You just know it wont go down like that. Injuries, suspensions, form will alter your plans. I'm always hesitant to plan more than 1 transfer more than 1 week in advance.

Always the attacker/penalty taker IMO

A I think. Wolves struggling to score and attacking points for Toney is a big ask this week

B

Wolves struggling to score and Southampton CS vs City, + Liverpool hardly conceding, makes me think it should be A and hope for the best

A

B all night long

Theres punts and there’s just drawing a name out of a hat and hoping it works out.

Like the cook at Wimpy? Not about to lay on a cordon bleau meal (sorry for spelling) because the patrons won't notice the difference. Why would you think Perez will change the mind of his patrons?

Raphina injury news? who else is like Raphina?

If you change Pereira to Rudiger/James double Chelsea defence in A I’d probably sway that way. Really like Antonio mind. That’s tough.

Easy second option

B. Ronaldo can match Lukaku for that week.

A

I would just do Bamford to Antonio if you do not have him.

Play Sissoko (NEW)

I think Digne will not. But anyway, still have to wait for pressers to determine. I removed Digne to avoid further price drop

A & C. Rafa won't give a useful update on Digne either way

Hope so since I have all 3

Sarr short term, Gallagher long term

Sarr for the next two. Gallagher later on

Massive traps

I think his stats have got worse GW4-5 compared to GW1-3. I'm looking to ship I think.

For a stop gap option, I dont mind having him or Sarr. Wouldnt bother if you are looking for a long term solution.

Did it last week. Marvellous feeling.
Still feeling all tingly inside

Penaldo

I would recommend Ronaldo to others due to higher ceiling.

I like to own Luka, so he will be the one for me.

There are two main ways to play FPL.

1. You have set and forget big hitters and then you rotate the cheap assets.
2. You have set and forget cheap value picks and then you rotate the big hitters.

I always used to be a 1 player but I've been looking to change to become 2. More impact with the transfers.

If I were to go with a 1 strategy, I suppose I'd set and forget Ronaldo.

Lukaku of course. Better player, better team, better fixtures, lower price.

Chelsea will keep more clean sheets than Man U, and they'll keep each one as a team

This makes them a better team, because they balance defence well with attack, especially when facing other good teams. This also means they'll create fewer goal scoring opportunities than a team that doesn't focus so much on defending, even in the tough games: Man U

Where Lukaku would usually make this up is with assists. But his problem atm is that he doesn't have a potent goalscorer as a regular strike partner or on either wing. So he's down to goals and fewer assists than his excellent positioning should provide

This notches CR7 ahead by one rung, imo. It's slight. But it's there

In the tough game, easy game, average game: it's still all balls to CR7, the predator in the box. Outscore the opponent

sad.

What a softy he was.

pretty sure Gray took a corner the other day - Townsend from the other side (inswingers)

Gray as well

Digne def out?

Wonder who takes penaltys ?

christensen is a better option

hard to know for sure, there might be a pattern but no idea yet - Rudiger most nailed and then probably Azpi based on being able to play in two positions
