Sonaldo and Pras are here to discuss the key points of Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), before looking ahead at the main questions heading into Gameweek 4.

Like many established names in the FPL community, Sonaldo had a poor weekend although Pras was boosted by having both Ivan Perisic (£5.5m) and Aaron Ramsdale (£5.0m).

They look at the tight turnaround caused by the imminent midweek Gameweek 5 and how much rest time each team gets, before analysing the last round of games one by one.

To end, both reveal their ‘bus’ teams for Gameweek 4, discussing plans for transfers and captaincy.

    GTG or would you do Neto > Aaronson?

    Martinez
    TAA Cancelo James Trippier
    Diaz Salah(c) Martinelli Neto
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Andreas NWilliams Greenwood

    1. @FuzzyWarbles

      I would rather have Aaronson but even more, I would rather roll the transfer and open up more potential options for the next round. Neto probably needs to go, but his price drop for the GW is already done, so may as well roll.

    2. The Final Boss

      Roll..

    Guys need help 0.3m itb. 1ft.

    Ward iver
    Taa cancelo james robbo neco
    Salah marti kulu andreas dasilva
    Haal jesus archer

    A) robbo archer to Henry toney for a hit
    B) Do A for free next week.
    C) robbo iversen dasilva to Henry Sanchez Rodrigo for a hit next week.
    If I am going with A or B then I will be with the lei gk until wc (planning to take it after gw8 during ib).

    1. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I guess start Dasilva, roll the FT and assess midweek

    Morning all, could I seek your opinions on my WC team? Thanks

    Sanchez
    TAA Trips Perisic
    Salah Martinelli Rodrigo Gundo
    Haaland Toney Jesus

    Ward Saliba Andreas Neco

    1.1ITB to upgrade Gundo to a 8m if they ever do catch alight.

    1. DavvaMC
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like it, good backup in Saliba when Perisic gets rotated.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me. Smart to keep a bit itb. Dont fancy the 3.9 goalie now? Surely wards days are numbered and you're never gonna start either of them over Sanchez.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I guess so, nick another 0.1 but I guess always handy to have a playing keeper on the bench just in case of emergencies.

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hope team value isn't important this year. Mines in the toilet.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It will come down to the players you pick for your starting 11.

      Maximise points for each starting position. In your case going maybe 1 Premium could work out if your budhet is too low for 2.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Tbf if I just ride with the Leicester goalies til Christmas it levels the playing field in terms of value in the outfield. Surely they have to start returning more than 1 point per week.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I don't see any signs of improvement - quite the opposite if/when Fofana goes. It must be painful seeing 6 points leak off that position each week. If I had a Leicester keeper starting, I think I'd take a hit to upgrade him to one of the decent 4.5 options.

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            At least my expectations couldn't get any lower.

    2. Paqueta Rice

      Likewise

  5. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Mohamed or Jesus?

      Capt? Im going Gab this week.

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Both religion and captaincy, not sure which is more the burning question.

        1. Weak Become Heros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          FPL is my religion.

    Pope Ward
    TAA James Cancelo (Cash Williams)
    Salah Martinelli Foden Bailey Andreas
    Haaland Jesus (Archer)

    1 FT 0.8 ITB. I know saving is ideal but given the form of Cash, and also Foden being a risk, should I make a move?

    A) Cash > Zinchenko
    B) Foden > ??
    C) Roll
    D) Anything else

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A or C

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      D - Cash>Perisic

      1. gellinmagellan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Isn't Perisic a rotation risk in the coming week?

        1. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He’ll start against Forest and you can bench him in GW5

  7. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Haaland captain vs CRY ? Maybe not as clear cut

    -City better form than liv
    - at home,
    - hasn't blanked yet,
    - unlucky not to have returned more , Salah has had some luck
    -Cry play more expansive than Bou, likely to sit in low block

    1. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Of course Haaland can score against anyone and City looks much better than Liverpoo, but I think that there is no better fixture than Bou at home. If you are not going to give Salah armband agains Bou there is a genuine question whether is still any reason to have him in your squad.

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        There is a question re keeping Salah especially with Darwin back in a couple of games, changed role etc. but no other premiums stepping up ...maybe KDB, so it's definitely retain vs Bou...then reasses

        But captain wise, have to consider other factors apart from just the fixture...

    2. T.Henry14
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      depends on the style you play. Salah 50+% cap, Haaland 10%.
      I choose the safer pick at the start of the season, so Salah.

    3. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Knew I should have captained Haaland!

  8. Klopp it
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So I have 6.8 for a midfielder, any suggestions? I don't really want Rodrigo as I honestly believe he's over achieving, and I already have martinelli

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford may come good but it's a wait and see.

      1. Klopp it
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yea was looking at him, he looked sharp against Liverpool

    2. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Boring B Silva, coming off a big haul, .2m cheaper than his starting price. I know the community hates him, cause when he finally couldnt be ignored last season, and everyone decided to bring him in, that's when his points dried up. But as a punt, something to consider.

      1. Klopp it
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks 🙂 could be a good shout

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Trossard?

    4. Boz
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rodrigo and Leeds look the real deal. Maybe assess again after this GW?

      1. Klopp it
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just seems like everyone is going Rodrigo, looked at Harrison also

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Similar conundrum. Gonna be stubborn with Rodrigo as I don't like to think people got him for 0.4 cheaper than me if I buy him. Hoping he's this seasons Benrahma, but he'll probably end up like prime 2015/16 Mahrez.

      1. Klopp it
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, think that's part off the reason I don't want him either, I honestly thank he's over achieving I could be wrong, the rashford punt cud be ideal, he looked so on it against Liverpool maken them runs that he use to do

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Haven't really watched any of the matches that haven't been on tv in the UK (and I missed the Leeds v Chelsea match) so I have no idea how he's looking really. Rashford really should have scored against Brighton too. Then he would be in everyone's reckoning.

          He's my preferred pick this week. United's upcoming games will hopefully suit him on the counter. Southampton and Leicester will have a go.

      A bad GW3, like many, but it's early days. Your WC better used later when window is closed and we can see a bit of form. Taking a hit now won't help. Loads of time left.

  12. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Nottingham Forest signing 17 players makes me want them to get relegated.

    Why so greedy? No trust in the players who got them promoted?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you watch Championship football then you would know that they had a lot of loan players last season.

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years

        I don’t watch the championship Slugch. Why are you stalking me again?

              Nothing new there then in the originality stakes or the brain engagement department

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you look more closely at their profiles, they're nearly all players who'll be sold on at a profit if they go down, or increase in value if they stay up. It's actually good business they're doing.

  13. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you pick Zaha as part of a 4 man midfield with Salah Martinelli & Gross or Toney as part of a 3 man attack with Haaland & Jesus ?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If I was wildcarding it would be something like that, although maybe with the gundog over Gross

    2. Arteta
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney makes more sense to me because of easier fixtures and he's 90 minutes man. If I look at their next 6, I can see him outscoring Zaha.

      1. Arteta
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        There are also reliable starting 4.5-5.0 midfielders, whereas forwards aren't.

    3. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney. You can replace Zaha with others players within his price range or even lower - Aaronson for example. In case of Toney there are only two viable options Mitrović or Welbeck. You can not find other replecament, which mya provide any kind of predictable production.

    4. Kingy109
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't understand the argument that Toney is better because there are few options at his price point. What if he gets injured banned or loses form? Surely it's better to be able to switch to someone else with 1FT which would be easier with Zaha?

  14. Arteta
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Before every deadline, I like to check official FPL article which includes a captain poll with the most popular picks, to gain some insight into how "casuals" are thinking. Here's a link (https://www.premierleague.com/news/2759729) and current results:
    50% Salah, 18% Jesus, 15% De Bruyne, 11% Haaland, 3% Kane, 3% Toney.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who are you on currently Arteta? Im with Jesus this week.

      Creativity in that Liverpool midfield is killing them, Salah playing wide, Fulham rock n roll football, brace and assist for Gabby.

      1. Arteta
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have Jesus (c) and Kane (vc) at the moment.

      2. GreennRed
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        On Jesus too. Looking very sharp in the lead in to Qatar. Fulham defence fairly poor so far.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't pay attention to casuals, but to be fair, they often call it right. I thought this week would be a tough decision, but maybe not.

      1. Arteta
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They don't overthink that much or at all. Sometimes I wish I was the same.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I am capping Salah but if I had Kane, I might consider him.

      Just too much risk going without Mo.

      1. Arteta
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It's a sensible choice, no matter how you look at it.

    4. Boz
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A lot of those will be dead teams who had Salah cap for Fulham in GW1 though?

      1. Arteta
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dead teams with captain Jesus scare me more.

      2. Rohirrims
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Considering they are voting on an article, hardly doubt they will be dead teams

  15. citizenkane
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Have 2FT, don't want to burn one. 0.4 ITB.

    A. Neto > Gross

    B) Andreas (ars)
    C) DaSilva (Eve)

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 8 Years

      Bench both fodder players

    2. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A by some distance for me

      1. Boz
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Just thinking Palace will likely score and had the fodder's points on the bench the first few GW.

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Kingy109
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you aren't happy playing Walker against a mid table team with City at home you need to sell him and get someone with more attacking threat.

  18. jimmyabs1987
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Currently have Foden and 0FT as brought Martinelli in.

    I’m worried Foden isn’t going to start Vs palace.

    I also want 3 Liverpool this week; do I do Foden to Diaz for a -4? The way I am looking at it is that if Foden doesn’t play it’s a -2 or -3 at worst but Diaz could go wild…

    Appreciate thoughts

    1. Boz
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hold and roll with it. Foden could still get points off the bench if he doesn't start

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point, I just think Diaz could go wild this week

    2. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's a move that could pay off nicely or completely backfire.

      Since I feel it can go either way, it comes down whether it's free or cost points. Since it cost points, I think I pass.

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        All sound points, appreciate it

    3. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Let autosubs fill in if Foden doesn't play.

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What Liverpool players do you have?

      is it worth the (0.4) hit as form will you gain these back with Liverpool & others out of the window

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    KDB or Haaland will be the favourite question making the rounds GW8 or 9 as fitting in Salah as well kills the rest of your team.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDB or Haaland - good shout - hard to tell at the moment.

      I'm holding on to my WC at the moment & will look to assess for GW8/GW9 as suggested,
      normally going around GW3/GW4 but with World Cup year holding off.

      Form/team selections -I need the transfer window closed to start to work out/catch-up on PFL points as unusual season todate.

      Another question if both on form would be Kane or Son?

  20. ADucksBehind

    Pope

    TAA Cancelo Perisic Zinchenko

    Salah(c) Diaz Rodrigo Martinelli

      Cash for me, purely based on the form of the opposition

    For this week only, which is better?

    A. Kane (nfo) + DaSilva (EVE)
    B Toney (EVE) + Diaz (BOU)

    Would be bringing in the B players if go for that option.

    With Ake injured. Is Stones expected to play? Or other options instead of Ake? Have Gomez (Liverpool) already.

    Final decision on WC.

    A. TAA (Mitro on bench)

    or

    B. Perisic (Greenwood on bench)

    Other bench spots Harrison & Andreas.

      Your bench is too strong. You'll face this type of decisions every week

      1. Salt and Vinagre
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah did think this but happy with rest of the team as caught quite a few players before price rises

      Why would this choice change who you have on the bench?

      1. Salt and Vinagre
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just whether TAA is worth the premium, I’m happy to rotate the bench for good fixtures.

    Mount is a big conundrum. Have 1M in bank so can switch to Gundo, Diaz or Kulu.

    Any thoughts from owners / non-owners?

    1. ADucksBehind

      I really fancy Kulu for the next few weeks. Was considering swapping Diaz out for him

      1. Sulley
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he has looked good but not sure if will rotate with Richarlison soon.

      I got rid after GW1. Could easily hurt you any week though.

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu

    4. Eze Really?

      Gone from my side to Gundo

    So after a very middle of the road start with a few glaring issues I’ve gone with early wild card. Out of curiosity I looked at a team with Diaz over Salah to free up those funds, I’ve watched every Liverpool game this season and to my mind Diaz looks like a more central threat.

    Then I hopped over to the members area to compare them and my god, Salah destroys him in basically every metric I would care about.

    In form or out of form, Salah is still the man.

      I did the same LOL

      Are you on Haaland or KDB - that's my last conundrum

      1. C-Dawgg
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I actually have both, the next 2 home games are unreal

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I am going Salahless with KDB instead and Diaz atm. It will make FPL life interesting at least.
