  6. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 29 days ago

    WC team. Biggest pressing question: do I stick with Salah or drop him for one of Rashford or Bruno and upgrade elsewhere (although I can't quite figure out where now we've lost Kane and I don't really want TAA). Could do Semenyo to a real forward, I suppose, but that extends my benching headache this week even further (I want to play Gusto home to LUT, but no way to do so).

    Sanchez - Turner
    Chilwell - Saliba - Estu - Gusto - Beyer
    Salah - Saka - Foden - Diaz - Mbeumo
    Haaland - Alvarez - Semenyo

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Looks good as is. Can downgrade Mo later IF Rash or Bruno give you reason.

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Surely you WC to get rid of Salah & spend the funds quickly or what was the point?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        Nah. Other issues in the team (although, more like I wanted a few players, like Diaz, Foden, Alvarez that I didn't have).

    3. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Rash or Bruno this week and keep money ITB to go back to Salah for AVl, wol, WHU in the next 3?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        Not a bad shout.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      No need to drop Salah imo. I've kept him on my WC.

  7. Bigler

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      If I happens this season will be the 1st one ever when team value really don't matter.

      Interesting in a way as without being forced to use the "template" budget picks we may actually see more diversity between our squads than in the previous seasons.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        This is the season of the 15 man squad and actual big decisons to make re managing it week to week.

        1. el polako
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 29 days ago

          Great, isn't it?

          Initially I was disappointed with the pricing this year but actually it looks like it may be the key to more fun season.

      No

  9. Hansel

    A) Salah, Mubama -> Foden, Jackson (bench Madders)
    B) Salah, Mubama -> Mbuemo, Jackson (bench Madders)
    C) Madders + Gabriel -> Foden + Henry/Udogie (bench Mubama)
    D) Madders + Baldock -> Mbuemo + Henry/Udogie (bench Mubama)

    1. Crunchie

      I am thinking A this week if that helps then get a cheaper Liverpool mid next week.

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years

    Mbeumo - 6 shots, 2 penalties, 1 goal.

    Are Brentford going to get penalties every match?

    2. LarryDuff

      They've had the 2nd most penos since joining the league

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        Interesting stat

    3. Crunchie
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Palace have had two 0-0 and two 1-1 as Neale said.

      Bith goals from Brentford were 88 mins and 96. Could be later this year 🙂

      I dont see goals in this one, although Eze scored his only goal for Patrick, but i could be wrong there).

      That was the day he probably lost his job.

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 29 days ago

    In GW4, would you get rid of Mitoma for:

    A. Foden
    B. Mbeumo
    C. Eze

    Got 1.5m itb...

        Bored and making useless plans

  12. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 29 days ago

    I genuinely think Todd Boehly's understanding of football comes from playing fifa manager mode. This guy has turned Chelsea into the same way. Someone has assigned point ratings to his players and each transfer window he takes out 5-10 lowest rated guys and picks up a bench of youth players with 95 potential

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      a bunch*

    2. Zinedine Kilbane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      I thought the same until I spent time analysing the squad and personally think hes did a brilliant job. He has a strong starting and second eleven, 2 strong players in each position, with only a handful of players on top of that which they will likely sell/loan out before the window closes. Bar Sterling every one of those players are 26 or younger. They could do with a goalkeeper and 2 Attacking Centre mids but apart from that they would be able to get through the next few windows without needing to sign players, and with market values going up every year the deals might not look too bad in a few years.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        I'm kinda in the middle. It is a strategy, and I suspect he does have half a mind on breaking FFP rules, hence a squad that can survive 2 or 3 windows of transfer bans. I also suspect that he's willing to take a billion dollar hit on the squad because he feels he can make ten times that elsewhere - he has an American eye on commercialisation which mean screwing fans for profits and possibly being at the forefront of whatever the successor to the Super League will be.
        It will work if the penalties are transfer bans and fines; it won't work if the PL or whoever impose points deductions or relegation for flagrant rule breaking.

      2. x.jim.x
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        The squad is a mix of injury prone senior players and unproven youngsters - he’s spent a billion quid in 3 windows and there’s not one world class player in there. Their striker and keeper are poor too.

    3. krzys
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      So many people missed the fact Boehly is not directly responsible for transfers anymore

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      There's definitely more of a strategy to this signings now than the first spending window (most of which was poor, bigger names, not data backed & in the middle of lots of internal transition).

      Buying lots and lots of young talent. Some will fail but there will be one or two Brazilian wonder kids or so who will either sell for bucket loads or be integrated.

      Our current XI and squad has far more sensible of a shape (and size!) than lady seasons, which was a mess. Some of our signings have weekend rivals too (see Liverpool...)

      We have again got very unfortunate with injuries sustained at the start of this season. Yes we do lack senior leaders - but hopefully this season can out us in good stead for the future.

      Have to start returning on the investment soon but more (substantially backed) method than madness. Even the method such as long contracts to get over the PL/UEFA loophole Whislst we're out of Europe was a clever accounting/legal contract move.

      1. Crunchie
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        My god Hazz, this made me laugh.

        https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/crystal-palace-could-now-try-to-sign-30-year-old-chelsea-star-he-once-admitted-he-loves-selhurst-park/

        CLuting at straws, although we desperately need a no. 9 but most of our wages offered to Zaha with be going on Olise and (probably) eze new contract. They are both very close, so unless Man City really push for Eze, i can't see this happeneing

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 29 days ago

          LOL - yeah can't see that happening either. But you do need an option aside from Mateta don't you.

    5. Crunchie
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Well what stinks is the PIF can invest upto 5% of Clearlake assests as i understand.

      PIF own Newcastle.

      PIF have access to Chelsea accounts, thus can buy lots of Chelsea players (Lewis Hall, (as Clearlake own 60% of Chelsea) as it is in their interest for Chelsea to comply with FFP.

      If this isnt a confict of interest to the premier league I dont know what is.

      All clubs do this. Harris at Palace own 17% of Palace shares, and owns Appollo (an investment fund), but has no interest in other Premier league clubs and was going to be force to sell his share, when he wanted to take over Chelsea in a competitive bid.

      Textor and another owns 40% of Shares, and Eagle Holdings owns Lyon, Moolenbeak, and Bazilian club Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas. In separate leagues just like Chelsea loan players to Strasbourg. That all fine (I dont personally like it), but thats how football is these days.

      I don't like it in the PL, and this is certainly Saudi Arabia's plan, that if/when a Super League starts, they will be part of it.

    In your opinion who is the best Defender for this back 7 for the next few GWs

    Pickford Turner

    Estupinan Kabore Colwill Gabriel xxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      City defender

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years

        This, or Chilwell as he plays as a winger.

    2. krzys
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Chilwell

  15. BIind Moth
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 29 days ago

    Any Porro owner's on here? I'm a sucker for a differential full back, and looking at Tottenham's next 3 games, I think there's a 15 pointer in there somewhere. Too risky with Emerson Royal?

    1. CheesyGonzalez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      I think so, they are both playing at a similar level and I don't think Ange knows which one is better in his system yet. Go for Udogie if you want a spurs fullback

  16. KirkhamWesham
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 29 days ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    Onana
    Chilwell Estupinan Gabriel
    Mbeumo Mitoma Rashford Saka Foden
    Haaland N.Jackson

    Turner Pedro Gabriel Baldock

    2.4m itb

      Why would you mess with this squad?
      For a hit? No way.

      May want to look at selling one of the Gabriel's though.

      1. KirkhamWesham
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        Cheers. Gabriel is definitely on my list of departures.
        Rashford is treading the line.

        1. el polako
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 29 days ago

          He is, for many.
          But selling for -4 points before Forrest at home seems bit silly. Of course if you can see a player who will make up for your loss and score more than young Marcus - go for it, don't be influenced by my opinion, I'm shite at this game.

  17. bigbadbony

    Everton really are in the deep doo-doo.... Financial investigation.... New stadium to pay for... now a collapse of investment proposals... Oh wait.. Probably the worst squad in the league. Dodged it past 2 years toffees, this year time you came unstuck.

      Today the US hedge fund sorts who were due to buy 25% of Morsi's stake pulled out. They were due to fund the completion of the new stadium as well as inject capital to keep the club afloat. Aye, they're in a crisis.

    Thoughts on gvardiol as a city option. Considering it but there is always the doubt around minutes with City players

      can never know with Pep may be akanji is more nailed

    2. Bobby Digital

      Well at least he's versatile and can play across the back four. Really good with both of his feet too...

        I'm trying to decide whether to go with him or spend the extra on Dias. I think both will start 8 out of 10.

    tough decision for me bench one
    a. Diaz vs New
    b. Eze vs Bre
    c. Pedro vs WHU

    1. krzys
      • 13 Years

      Pedro

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Eze

    3. Crunchie
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Probably Eze, but keep him

    Have to bench Pedro of this front 8, correct?

    Saka Odegarrd Rashford Bruno Mbueno
    Haaland Jackson Pedro

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Yes one of Mbeumo and Pedro

    2. krzys
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Correct

    Who would you say is the best differential full back out of these lot:

    a) Udogie
    b) Porro
    c) Digne
    d) Zinchenko
    e) Other

    1. krzys
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Udogie

    Going to bed now, good luck everyone! If FFS encourages you to lose your money on an unknknown gamblimg product, which you will, tell them to suck on.a gherkin! They’re trying to make money on your losses!

    is FPL more luck or more skill game?

    i always feel that it's a game of luck
    if you make the right 50/50 call, then you will excel

    but there are a lot of managers that make it to the top 10k season after season
    with this proven track record, it has to be more skill than luck involve right?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      right

    2. Full Kit Wonkas
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      Yep, which is why those experts charge us money to see what they're doing

    Laporte sold to Saudia-Arabia. Gvardiol nailed!

      Dias plays LCB

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        Ake

  29. FootballRookie

    Good to go?

    Onana
    Saliba, Estu, Gusto
    Martinelli, Salah, Rashford, Eze
    Haaland, Watkins, Pedro

    Bench: Turner, Tarkowski, Botman, Nakamba

    Tempted to sell Martinelli for Foden?
    And then maybe get an Arsenal mid back next week for Rashford?

    1. krzys
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      I'd keep Martinelli this week

    2. Full Kit Wonkas
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      No Bees?

      1. FootballRookie
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        Would love Mbeumbo or Wissa.

        But that's where I am torn... Are those or Foden priority?

        And who is my priority transfer out .. I'd like to remove Eze but he has less value

    Hey folks, best moves here with 2Ft and 1m itb

    Pickford
    Chilwell Estu Saliba -- James Kabore
    Rash Bruno Saka Martenelli Maddison
    Haaland Pedro -- Archer

    A) Maddison + Pedro >> Mbeumo + Jackson...then
    --- Saka >> Foden in gw4
    --- Saliba >> Trippier in gw5
    --- means starting Saliba (MUN) or Kabore (WHM) in gw4

    B) James + Maddison + Pedro >> Udogie + Foden + Jackson (-4)....then
    --- Martenelli >> Mbeumo in gw4
    --- Saliba >> Trip in gw5
    --- means starting Udogie in gw4

    Both lead to the same destination in gw5 but the journey is diff. B involves a hit but means getting foden this week, having a better def in gw4, and means i get rid of Martinelli as opposed to Saka

    1. Crunchie
      • 8 Years

      why are you selling Maddison.

      If fit and Son moveas the no 9 he could be gold

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 29 days ago

        doubt he plays till after intl break

    2. Crunchie
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 29 days ago

      A as Saliba against Utd could be as good as it gets at the moment!
