Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 13 preview and latest team plans

B, C, A

-4 for alonso , good chance Foden is out

Money itb?

I'd probably save the transfer. Not sure how long you can go without James though.

I'd say save and decide if you want James or Alonso next week, .6 in the difference between their prices now and that can go a long way but if James keeps performing the way he is that may be worth spending on him. But I'd be a tiny bit wary that not playing across from Chilwell may impact him a bit. Alonso is very attacking too but he's more selfish and doesn't have the pace Chilwell does so teams might focus more on doubling up on him.

Save, play Semedo next 2 GWs if you've kept him until now

King up front too..

Very similar team, that's only 10 though?

Cheers WM

It is nice to be playing 3 ATB for a change too as had been plying 4 since GW8 WC.

I would just probably get Alonso to be ahead of the bandwagon and set you up . Foden is too wide and Pep will rotate.

I'm in the exact same boat. Moving to Alonso next week (which is only a few days away of course) and Foden isn't moving from my team even if we got early news he wasn't playing tomorrow, he's been playing too well and fixtures are too good to drop IMO (and a lot of signs are pointing to him being ready anyway).

Gnasher nation

You're on the internet right now

Nigeria. Possibly, although hes only made a couple appearances for them back in 2019

Would have been quicker to look it up than post here...
Nigeria.

Nigeria i think, but hasn't played for a while

Yeah I'd probably save ft there

do you have enough money to upgrade Duffy or Livra to Alonso if you transfer Mbeumo to 4.4?

If you like those moves then forget this week, look longer term

You looking at someone like Gilmour? Would get a playing option for busy schedule ahead

I've liked Mbeumo for the last 7 weeks. Reckon he'll hit the post again?

I would hold for at least this GW. Mbuemo and Vardy have every possibility of scoring against their opposing teams this week. Both at Home aswell. I’d give it one week before deciding to ship them out.

play Duffy

Duffers

A.
Foden could start; likely to feature by Wednesday if missing out on Sunday.

I decided to do B for a hit as well as Chilwell to James, even if Foden may play this week, I didn't like Pep's comments and feel he could see a fair bit of rotation going into the Christmas period so wanted Jota. My mistake was bringing in Foden instead of Jota last week.

I like Alonso for Chilly. Or Rudiger.

save prob.

Save

Definitely save

Rudiger is in fine form. Nailed. Why would anyone bring alonso for rudiger?

Don't get rid of Rudiger, Alonso and James will both be rotated a bit in this next period, it's possible Rudiger may not even be rotated at all given his history. His attacking stats of late have been very good too, don't discount the possibility of more returns in the near future. Find a different way

gilmour 1st sub imo

I really wouldn’t worry about it. If either get more than 2 it will be a statistical anomaly.

Having said that BGL.

Gilmour, Livra and Brownhill

No avoid hits if possible, specially -8 and more

Jota

What's wrong with Trossard? Good stats

Bench C

BC

A and C

I was even thinking of captaining Hwang. I know he ain’t great but NOR defence looks quite poor and they should have conceded quite a few at home to SOU last week so hoping wolves can bag a few this week.

Just guessing my i think he will start rwb over James

I would be really surprised if James doesn't play this game. James and Chilwell have given Tuchel the goals they need, having struggled at times earlier in the season. Now he's forced to not have Chilwell, James doesn't get rested vs United. Maybe vs Watford though.

I think Azpi had a chance but longer term makes sense to get in James/Alonso I think.

Also wouldn't be getting rid of Antonio, but can understand your reasons. Though would defo not be for Hwang (very short term).

no Armstrong imo

Armstrong wont play as much now

No Raph. The team is generally template. Are you happy with that? Strong bench is key. Like your picks there.

Don’t think I would pick Raph on wc. Prefer ESR
Any plan to own Antonio in a few weeks?
Armstrong to Pukki Party?

Rudi over Alonso

Try get to Benteke

I'd hope so. I have injuries and Livra on my bench, so I'd be wanting to bring in a starter to cover TAA and Salah myself.

If the Liverpool game got what now?

What ?? Postponed ?

The winds have already gone as predicted. Lot of fuss about nothing

Gotta love Twitter. That’s the actual storm!

Oh cmon, let's play.

Looks very nice to me

Fine. Nice team, strong bench.

B

A

A

Was thinking about it. But risky

Brought him in but wouldnt captain

Nah, rarely hauls, rarely gets bonus (think it might even be 2 bonus all season) rarely lasts 90

No reason to do it

Doesn't really make sense if you have Salah which I assume you do. Will lose out more often that not

I'm not convinced by Jota love. Hardly lighting it up.

If chasing then not a bad shout actually as you’re just treading water with Salah cap.

Where are you?

33 degrees celsius.

Wait, apologies. No FPL associated games here...

I think that is wise, weather and also still a low chance of covid outbreaks in teams

Was keen on TAA(c). High winds could mean loads of crosses 🙂
Definitely wouldn’t vc in the same game

Never put VC on a player in the same match as your C, we learned that the hard way in the last 2 years

Gtg

Yep. Gtg - Goodluck!

Are we serious, why because the ball may blow into the opposition's net?

The weather is fine

https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2644210

Yeah if that’s all your bench cover, both are good moves so id take the -4 for one of those. Dealers choice really … and do the other one next week. Maybe Alonso this week as Foden might still play.

Probably not

Duffy bench. Night.

Gtg

I’d stick with Duffy on the bench. I’d expect Leeds to score while West Ham are in good form and could get a goal against City

Nah, I'd play Duffy personally.

Duffy on bench. Easier for Ant to nick one than Leeds to not do so for 90 mins.

Yeah. Gtg

That last clause is pure tabloid lazy bolllox padding, isn't it?

Pointlessly telling us his age and that he doesn't intend to stop scoring goals in football matches!

I reckon it could be a good game for Antonio, he looked great against Liverpool on the break
