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.

    1. Mirror Man
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Upvote worthy, for the originality of it.

    2. FPL Brains

      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

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

    3. lugs
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Last year is last year

    4. Super-Anders
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

    5. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

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

  2. thepancakeman123
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you start?

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

    1. lindeg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B for me

  3. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

    A) Darwin
    B) TAA

    1. Z
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I did A

  4. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 10 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
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Trossard

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going for Trossard based on fixture.

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Sinester

  5. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 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, 10 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, 10 months ago

      surely keep

  7. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

      I own him - he is kak

    2. lugs
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      its his last game for me today

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

        sake/foden are a given

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 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
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. The Senate
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No chance

    2. GoonerByron
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 months ago

    Guess the chances of these players starting

    A) Robertson
    B) TAA
    C) Darwin

    1. The Senate
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      75%

      95%

      75%

      1. The Senate
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry misread

        50 not 95

    2. Z
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      100%
      80%
      50%

    3. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      75
      50
      90

    4. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

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

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      eeuuugh!

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

      Language!! 😉

  11. Z
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 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
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Z
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Not around me, mby 50k rank and higher

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Z
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. lugs
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 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, 10 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
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 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
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 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
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Z
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

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

  14. flippetyflop
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 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
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'd go gomez

    2. The Senate
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Zero attacking threat the only concern

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

    4. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 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
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Gomez, Doherty or Webster - pretty hard decision indeed

  15. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

  16. Mirror Man
    3 years, 10 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!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      E) All of the above

      1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 10 months ago

        A rather unfortunate smorgasbord.

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      C

      1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Upvote worthy. Cheers.

    3. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Is your grav Captain Beefheart?

      1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Absolutely.

        1. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

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

  17. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 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)

  18. Diro
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 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

  19. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Done the dreaded -12 (-6 ;))

    G2g?

    Raya
    Trippier Targett Kilman Neco
    Salah(C) Bowen Zaha Trossard Rashford
    Darwin

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers.

        Had to be done.

        No hits taken all year

    2. Z
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Just FH man

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

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

        What a waste that would be!!

        1. Z
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Many of them will FH or go with -4

  20. Well you know, Triffic
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    One week punt before wildcard:

    Haaland -> Wilson
    Martinelli -> Sinisterra

    Which would you go for? Cheers

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I bought both with 2 FT's
      tough one....

    2. Diro
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Why no playing WC this week ?

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I'm an idiot 🙂

        1. Diro
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Seriously ? I just want to understand your point as Im in same situation.

    3. Z
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      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

  21. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Son or Sterling on FH?

    Already have kane and mount

  22. RamboRN
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Who to play?

    A. Ward (LEEDS)

  23. grooveymatt65
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    what's the better combo for the next few weeks?

    1. Killman, Billing, Kane
    2. Van Djik, Mount, Mitrovic

    plan to get Martinelli in next week

    thanks!!!!

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      2 looks allround better imo

      1. grooveymatt65
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        okk thanksss

        might do Zaha to Saka next week if Zaha blanks again

  24. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Reed > Trossard for -4?

    1. Z
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      100%

  25. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      depends who for

  26. Rhodes your boat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Both sound like crap podcasts.

    2. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Tross

  27. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

  28. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    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!

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      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

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      two starting CBs are injured so that may help Liverpool

  29. max99
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Cancelo to taa for a hit?
    Only have 10 starters

  30. DavidSilva
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Guehi or Anderson
