Bit sideways

Is he injured or something?

If it is for free, go for it.

I would for free. Chelsea fixtures look good and Watkins off pens

Proven striker vs guy with 0 PL returns and looks like darwin from last year

This is very risky. I’d rather have Sterling against Luton.

Watkins to Jackson/Alvarez or save.

The thing is though... Martial or Sancho might start as the striker this GW which makes Rashford a better asset to have for this GW.

I'm keeping both. If I had to pick one it would be Bruno.

Only have Rashford but it's his last chance this week

It's been a painful 2 weeks for us that own both but I have decided to keep both for 1 more week. I'm praying it pays off

GW20 still long way to go. By then CL is in full force and chance for SHU to shape things up.

I have decided to do TC now.

TC this week is extremely brave. I prefer to wait for a good DGW to have 2 bites at the cherry.

I expect City to be involved in the three DGWs again, as they usually do well in the cups (leading to EPL fixture postponements)

I also think we'll have multiple DGW TC candidates this season, also like last season, so I'm in no rush to go there now

Luton = Leno.

Jackson and Gvardiol over Saliba and Alvarez

Looks pretty good.

Wissa is overkill for bench imo. You'll want to keep some money ITB for Alvarez > Isak or something like that.

Your team must be very good

Same situation here. I'm doing A.

B for me.

If you have Foden already I'd get Jackson over Alvarez.

A

Mitoma

Before you can confirm a transfer, you will have to remove one SHU asset.

You'd be forced to transfer one out, next time you change your team.

When you make a transfer, the game will ask you to sell one SHU player

If you are not making transfers, you can have 4 SHU players

If you have 4 SHU players, then the authorities are alerted and your FPL account is locked.

(Beyer not Bell but makes no diff).

Probably too few changes to justify.

Hold onto Arsenal and United assets one more week.

IB coming up. Your WC team could get ravaged by injuries.

Team dependant.

The Online Warlords who direct the game haven’t give you permission to use it yet.

Luton and SHU say hi...

2 weeks worth of data, so bandwagons still to emerge.

But, if you really feel major surgery is needed because you have a slew of non performing or non nailed players then it may be just what you do need to do.

Every case is different.

- Not enough information to go on. You're looking at 2 games' worth of data to backup something you can't do again for another 17/18 weeks or so. Things can change very quickly (e.g. what if you, say, get rid of Bruno and Rashford, only for Højlund to be fit for the bench v Forest and ManUtd turn things around?)
- Probably don't need to make enough changes right now to validate using it just yet
- A long time to go without being able to make wholesale changes again if needed
- Can't use it to target future fixture swings
- IB after GW4 could cause havoc with injuries/availability issues

Anyone wild carding this week should preferably roll their Wk4 transfer so as to allow 2FT’s ahead of Wk5 during the International break. Makes wildcarding this week less risky.

Most of the big teams are still in transition. We haven't seen what Arsenal look like without Nketiah, or Man Utd with Hojlund. What if Son starts playing up front & banging them in? Haaland permacappers got lucky this week but what if Salah is on fire come GW9 & your funds are all spread across a deep squad & require multiple hits to get him? Transfer window hasn't closed yet etc

It's only been two weeks so we know very little

Thanks so much. REALLY appreciate the responses! Just awesome and why I'm happy to be a subscriber.

Think patience is required. A few transfers are required - I want Wissa and one of Foden / Alvarez but you're right - there's no guarantee that the WC team runs into a brick wall, or the players being removed are just slow starters / dependent on external factors (e.g. Hojlund and Zinchenko starting).

Cheers all!

It's too early. We don't know yet if teams are actually just having a slow start or are just bad.

I will not WC before GW7 for sure because I need more information. 6 weeks is usually my time frame for the data to really come together. Currently looking at GW8 as my targeted WC week.

No real representable sample of data to facilitate an informed decision on this season’s best players.

If you do then I guarantee thta you will regret it a few game weeks down the line.

Is he really going to fare better than every other Sheff United striker in the PL?

He’s obvioulsy just a fodder for 3-5-2 positioned teams to have on the bench just in case.

Very similar to mine - just the below diffs.

Rashford v Foden
Watkins v Jackson
Saliba v Gvardiol
Archer v JPedro

If you do B, it’s basically the same. I like that.

I have your same 11 except Mitoma instead of Mbeumo. I'm doing A. Foden is tempting but I'm giving Rash one last shot.

Salah or Rashford

I did Salah and Mubamba to Foden and Jackson.

Rashford, at least Salah is returning

For me Salah has that explosiveness you want from a captaincy option

I have both.

If you went with Salah at the start you just stick

Just thinking of cover doesn't guarantee great points..if you think Liverpool will score most goals over next 6 keep else move for player from team you think may like Mcity, Ars

Compare their numbers in the members area and you'll find your answer, no one will ever cover Salah but they could certainly contribute.

Is Udogie still 4.5? Far better punt than Romero.

Pinnock and Botman along with Colwill are prolly he best.

Feel like you could have done two of those moves to save the hit?

Probably replace Baldock if his injury is serious as your team is top notch

Change your GK and roll 2nd FT

As others have said: keeper or bench cover change and roll the FT.

Keeper probably priority.

That's a really nice team.

I'd still sell Rashford to diversify in case of another dud United performance. Rash > Mbeumo and then sell Pickford this week seems a luxury you can afford.

Cheers all

I'd be looking to start both, but Pedro if pushed

I sold both lol

Probably wait a bit closer to the deadline to make this decision, may have more insight as to whether Gabriel or Pedro plays.
If both are benched, you'd still rather play Pedro over Gabriel, so he would be my choice.
Thanks for your reply!

Joao.

Joao should start this week. On penalties and a decent fixture.

I actually think Gabriel, he surely starts with Tomiyasu + Timber out. Zinchenko presumably comes in and inverts from the left which means Gabriel has to start on the left side of the back 3. Enciso was really good last gameweek so it seems a bit 50/50 if Joao comes back in to me

Simms to Jackson as your bench is weak because of Pedro starting doubts...Can advice me above mate?

Probably Odegaard now if he's on pens.

Saka all day, most in form of those 3

A

B

No

In a big game (Newcastle away), you can only really count on Salah.

I have Salah, but Salah seems producing more than Bruno

Depends on how quickly the morphine wears off.

I don't blame them - he's wasted at CP. As for FPL, not such good news.
