FPL Gameweek 8: The key player and team statistics

In the Championship fpl?

Mbappe, Haaland and Dybala

Can you afford Messi, Mbappe and Neymar?

A

A, but only 100% of the time

A

A

Unanimous then lol
Thanks guys

Its only u mean

The second week is generally the one that goes slower

Oh you 2

Still a lot of time

Nothing worth a hit there. Gtg.

B Semedo and Traoré worth thinking about improving.

Cheers

King move makes sense. Mbeumo can be added next week.

Sounds sensible. Hwang could be the Wolves man you want!

No WC.
I'd bin Ronnie for Kaku probably.

Don't see it myself either, but can't deny he is performing pretty well even in a fairly crap team

I am in 2 minds regarding him. I know that on WC is the perfect time to bring him in because it won't require hits later on, and you already have him ready for the good fixture run. But also I know that my drafts without him are so much more solid and balanced. I've said it before on here but Son is such a boom or bust asset, even more so than Vardy because Spurs may win only 1-0 and he can be the sole scorer and get 10 points or he could just get 3 so you never know

1'll do for this week

Overcelebrated?

Can't imagine they would trust Brucie with Haaland, Mbappe etc

Gotta be. Cashley won't pay Brucie off. So the new regime comes in, hired a classy manager as a statement, and player recruitment is lined up for the summer. The challenge is to get Newcastle into the Top 17 for that.

Definitely if there is a takeover, but I wouldn't count your chickens just yet.

I had a little bet on Pochettino to be the next manager at Newcastle last time they were tipped for a huge takeover, and he was unemployed.
Assumed the bet was completely dead.... still hope!

A - Utd can't keep a cleanie and City beat Burnley 5 - 0 every time.

A

A for the good Chelsea fixture run but B if you want something for the longer term

No way. Alonso and Jota out can get you City def and Mbeumo for starters

Neither Leicester or Utd can defend, I'd keep

Pretty template = pretty good, only reservations for me would be (i) if Hwang does not bang you have noweher to go; and (ii) is Townsend best choice of Everton 3? (I think he is, but... Doucoure is the 90 min man)

Very similar to my current WC draft

Ramsdale
Taa Rudiger Cancelo Azpli livra
Salah Son raphinha townsend luiz
4.5 Jimenez lukaku

To recycle a joke from a couple of months ago: innocent until proven Gylfi

What news?

Yves it is. He must have Bissoumed that she said Yves.

Checks out.

No WC. 4-4-2 next few weeks and a change or 2 in MF should be fine.

I'd have Luk in for CR

Fine. Ronnie against Soyuncu could be messy.

Kau vs tough defense save that ft

Jota probably, can't see Ron being rested again any time soon

Depends who will be replacing them of course but B, in saying that I think they both are likely to get a return next match

I like B but A is more nailed and long term picks

B for me but not a big fan of the Foden pick but worth a punt for the next 3 as there's enough replacements in that price range

4

Toney

Probably Toney followed by 1 (Gray)

sorry, not most, but quite a number of teams. Will take a proper amount of hauls to get into many let alone most.

1 or 2 take your risk

I personally would go with 1, but him likely not playing next week puts me off a little as he would've been a good C pick

It’s hardly just here. Pundits, news…

It’s part of the reason. Him not starting gave Everton a psychological boost. The other part is Ole being a mediocre manager which is why he messed the game up with his tactics.

Rafa Benitez is a senior manager, you just don’t rotate the line up & bench good players when you’re up against an experienced manager even more so than you

I think Cr7 will be an issue at Utd because of 2 reasons;

1) He is a megastar who has performed exemplary for a very long time, but now is 36 years with less movement, pressing (which Utd need of him as he is not the same) and pace. Him being Cr7, he still thinks in his head (and most of the Utd players think the same unfortunately) that he is the best and would turn things around for them. I think expectation should be slightly managed by both Cr7 himself and other players of him. I think Cavani can offer similar threat to Cr7 when he starts so he should accept rotation once in a while.

2) Ole gamestyle is not possession based, but typical ping pong passes, working hard and using the likes of Bruno's shooting/Pogba's passes to unlock defenders etc. Cr7 will give them goals but won't work as hard as others in closing down defenders hence the burden will be on Bruno to do it more often which in all honesty he is not that good on it. Tbh, I can't see them winning anything with the way they play, a Manager change would be important but it will still take time anyway hence this season would be a difficult season for Utd. They will still be a decent team who can challenge for the CL places but as long as they are not changing how they play, they will just win nothing.

Scarcely a shock that when you look at the fixture.

Toney-Armstrong-Hwang front-3 is calling, 100m budget is too much this season

This is exactly what I'm pondering today. I don't know. Those Armstrong fixtures are extremely good...

I like Toney personally. Need to see more from Armstrong to have a strong case for him

Shaw to Cancelo?

Shaw to Cancelo.

first one
