LATERISER

Three-time top 200 finisher and two-time champion of India

With such a short turnaround, I have to wait for injury news. Problems include Anthony Martial (£6.8m), James Maddison (£8.2m), Nathan Patterson (£4.0m) and having three players from Arsenal and Manchester City.

I currently have nine players if Martial is fit and eight if he isn’t. I think I will likely replace Maddison with either Marcus Rashford (£6.6m) or Luis Sinisterra (£6.5m). I’m not comfortable with having a one-week punt and these two seem like decent medium-term picks in this price bracket.

I think Rashford has improved this season and have noticed he’s at the end of everything that Manchester United do. There is a slight fear of rotation though, with him competing with Jadon Sancho (£7.3m) and Antony (£7.6m). If Martial is out, I am looking at a possible Darwin Nunez (£8.8m) punt, as he has tremendous upside and could benefit from the injuries to Liverpool team-mates.

    Anyone else been insane enough to bring Ronaldo in against Spurs?...

    Probably doesn't even start! Haha

    Thought I'd take a wild punt given that I'm on a wildcard going into GW13 and have an 'OK' lead in some of my leagues.

        Upvote worthy, for the originality of it.

        3 years, 6 months ago

        The one time I considered it (in the end I didn't), he came on as a sub and got 1 point. He scores a lot against Spurs but I think he's over the hill now.

        1. Supersonic_
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          The question is... do I take it to the next level and captain him over Salah... that's way too far right?

      • lugs
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        he scored a hatty in this fixture last year, worth a punt i reckon

        1. Supersonic_
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Aye that's what I was thinking. He's looked a shell this season unfortunately

        2. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Last year is last year

      • Super-Anders
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sure, roll the dice! United have been good at home vs top teams and he might have it in him still

      • how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I suggested this yesterday. He has a hex over spurs.

        Minutes are the concern, but with martial out who knows.

        1. Supersonic_
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I've got the C on him currently... but could very well bottle bit

    2. thepancakeman123
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who would you start?

      A) Doherty vs United away
      B) Bailey vs Fulham away

      1. lindeg
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B for me

    3. Lionac
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you punt on Liverpool player this GW only would it be"

      A) Darwin
      B) TAA

      1. Z
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B

      2. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I did A

    4. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who to get for Maddison?

      Current team:

      Raya
      Tripps, Neco, Guehi, Dier
      Zaha, Andreas, Maddison*
      Kane (c), Mitro

      Was thinking Mount but he has Brentford and I have Raya. Is Trossard the one? Or someone else...

      Will likely switch for Saka GW13.

      1. Z
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Trossard

      2. Darth_Newdar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm going for Trossard based on fixture.

      3. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sinester

    5. it lies in the proles
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have done -4 to get Trossard and Guehi.

      10 playing players, is Jesus to Firmino-Nune worth an extra -4?

    6. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A) Keep Martinelli, play with 10 this week

      B) Martinelli --> Bowen (free), play with 11 this week

      Have had Martinelli since start of season, so will lose 0.4.

      I am leaning towards keeping Martinelli because GW13 and GW14 are two good fixtures.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        surely keep

    7. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Surprised to see Zaha in every pundit team, his underlying stats for the last 4 are very average
      3 SOG, 4 Chances Created

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I own him - he is kak

      2. lugs
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        its his last game for me today

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'll give him a few GWs and if he fails he's out for Saka/Foden.

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          sake/foden are a given

      4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He has 2 more games for me. Same as Auba. I need a return form both, or else they're out

    8. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth -4 to get a playing keeper is it?

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No chance

      2. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If the alternative is 0 points then it’s worth it for me

      3. Sarri-ball
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Depends on keeper as its like a -2 and possibly get few other gw out him. If based on just points this week I'd say no

        1. Sarri-ball
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          For example
          Kepa could be worth a -4 if need him for next 3 or 4 gw's

      4. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I would - assuming you have Ederson or Ramsdale ... Very happy with Sa's 14 points last week 🙂

    9. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Guess the chances of these players starting

      A) Robertson
      B) TAA
      C) Darwin

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        75%

        95%

        75%

        1. The Senate
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Sorry misread

          50 not 95

      2. Z
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        100%
        80%
        50%

      3. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        75
        50
        90

      4. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        So, pretty unanimous that Robertson actually has a higher chance of starting than TAA. Y'all agree with that?

    10. Gr3g
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Best MF punt for two GW?
      I was thinking Bailey or Carvalho?

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        eeuuugh!

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Language!! 😉

    11. Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My main concideration is that i have nice rank, and 11 players in this GW wo hits, but many players will use FH and i have Neco and Reed in my starting XI....big fat red arrow incoming 🙂

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nope there will be lots of people caught unaware by the deadline

        1. Z
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Not around me, mby 50k rank and higher

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think you'll be fine. I have players like Bailey, Andreas and Neco.

        1. Z
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I played Andreas in last two games and he was great he will play this and next gw too

      3. lugs
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        don't worry about it, you will gain rank massively against them when you FH in a better week than this

    12. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Patterson to someone for a -4 worth it?

      I have Andersen, tripper, neco (cancelo) and need a another player to have 11.

      Any suggestions, I have up to 5.2’?

    13. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Afternoon all. 1FT, 2.3m ITB and WC intact but may get away with not using next GW. Which one please?

      Pope
      Trippier - Guehi - Neco - *Cancelo*
      Salah - Zaha - Trossard - Andreas
      Mitro - Toney

      (Iversen) - *Haaland* - *Saliba* - *Martinelli*

      A) Cancelo (bought 7m) > Castagne or Chillwell.
      B) Saliba (bought 4.5m) > Castagne or Chillwell.
      C) Save - Means i have 10 players this GW

      1. Z
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Personaly for me B is bad option, C is decet, but if you want to sell Cancelo only one who could replace him is TAA

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers C is what I'm feeling and just deal with 10 players

          1. Z
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Saliba into Gomes? 11 players + nice LFC fixtures....or even Robbo or TAA if you can aford it

    14. flippetyflop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thoughts on Joe Gomez? 4.5 Def - Nailed for the next 3 due to Konate + Matip injuries with great fixtures?!

      Seems a better option than Dunk who asides from this week does not have the greatest fixtures.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'd go gomez

      2. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Zero attacking threat the only concern

      3. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        crazy - Dunk have ok fixtures other than wk 13
        Goal threat
        nailed

      4. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        may even keep his spot the way he's playing but still a rotation risk eventually...

        have you considered tarkowski as a safer and longer term pick?

      5. luk46
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Gomez, Doherty or Webster - pretty hard decision indeed

    15. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs def or Castagne? Have 5.5 to spend, don’t have any TOT or LEI.

    16. Mirror Man
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I am confused by Christina's grav. Is it...

        A) Potato
        B) Gone off pineapple
        C) Kiwi fruit
        D) Actual face

        1. Legendary!
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          E) All of the above

          1. Mirror Man
              3 years, 6 months ago

              A rather unfortunate smorgasbord.

              1. Mirror Man
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Absolutely.

                  1. NorCal Villan
                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Was fairly certain but the way it is cropped gave me slight doubt

            3. JoeSoap
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Any preference for this week only? WC after

              A. Trossard, Nico (capt Tross or Kane)
              B. Salah (c), Almiron -4 (lose 0.3 on Martinelli)

            4. Diro
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I am now with 10 players and have taken a hit.

              I play with Kane. Should I :

              1) Let so, play with 10 and -4 or
              2) WC and play with Salah but no Kane, can field 11 and no -4

            5. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 9 Years

                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  FH when loads are taking -4’s and -8’s.

                  What a waste that would be!!

                  1. Z
                    • 8 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Many of them will FH or go with -4

            6. Well you know, Triffic
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              One week punt before wildcard:

              Haaland -> Wilson
              Martinelli -> Sinisterra

              Which would you go for? Cheers

                Why no playing WC this week ?

              3. Z

                You know how much you will lost if you sell Haaland?
                That much in my opinion is not an option for one player in one GW

              Would you take a second hit to get rid of Maddison in order to field 11 starters?

              A) follow the crowd with trossard
              B) go rogue with sinisterra

                Both sound like crap podcasts.

                Prefer both ofcourse, but maybe the week to go differential so B

              I can have ANY midfielder I want this week...and somehow my mind has gone for Sinisterra.
              Hope he repays the faith! 😀

              West Ham are actually 2nd best for lowest xG conceded per 90 this season (only behind City). I'm on Salah (c) but not convinced it's a high scoring game!

                I'd be surprised if Liverpool score more than 2 personally, I can see it ending up 1-1 or 2-1 to either side

                two starting CBs are injured so that may help Liverpool
