    Hmm I have an option to do Foden to Son or rolling the transfer, what would you do?

    a)Foden->Son
    b)roll

    1. mwa1t
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might work as a one-week-punt but long-term I'd possibly keep Foden and roll it

      Nah.

  2. mwa1t
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Leno or Areola this week? I'm starting Morris up front.

    1. Moxon
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Leno

    2. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Leno for sure, i know you want to maximise points potential but yeah

    I need Maddison, right?

    1) Eze, Dias and Estu -> Maddison, Udogie and Cash (-4)
    2) Rashford/Bruno/Saka (who?) -> Maddison
    3) Eze, Dias and Jackson -> Maddison, Udogie/Cash and Alvarez (-4)

    (2FT, 0.3 itb)

    Turner (Johnstone)
    Chilwell/Dias/Estu (Kabore, Beyer)
    Son/Rashford/Bruno/Saka/Eze
    Haaland/Jackson (Osula)

    1. Big Mike
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not if you already have Son, no. Don't forget Spurs play Arsenal and Liverpool after Sheffield Utd. If you need to make a transfer then I'd look at swapping Johnstone for someone like Flekken or Areola.

    2. Big Mike
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you do get Areola though it may be a good idea to bench him as West Ham have Man City in gameweek 5.

  4. The Philosopher
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rp

    Which looks better?

    A: Pedro -> Alvarez + 1.3 itb
    B: Pedro + Bruno -> Alvarez + Diaz + 2 itb (-4)
    C: Pedro + Bruno -> Alvarez + Diaby + 3.1 itb (-4)

    Anyone considering Madd (c) over Haaland?
    I’m thinking Haaland is like 9 points top vs WH so there could be an upside in going Maddison. Already chickened out once this season not (c) Jota so wouldn’t like to miss a train again…

    1. Scalper
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If there’s a time, it’s now.

      Maddison loves a low block d

    2. Dammit_182
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yea, I’ll be going madders C

  6. Big Mike
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Watkins and Bruno > Hojlund and Son
    B) Walker and Rashford > Udogie and Son

    1. KunDogan

      B

    2. Nuka Girl

      B)
      Some Spurs good, not sure how Hojlund is going to perform yet.

  7. Moxon
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Flekken
    Trippier | Chilwell Udogie
    Son | Saka | Bruno | Maddison | Mbeumo
    Haaland | Alvarez

    Areola | Cash | Giles | Archer

    Set on this team unless we hear anything more about the Saka injury

    Good luck this weekend all!

  8. Munny Man
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you sell of the below to bring in Son? I have the money/transfers to do so….
    A. Mitoma
    B. Sterling
    C. Saka

    1. Big Mike
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A because Brighton now have two players for each position.

    2. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  9. Mid budget coach
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Tough one here
    A. Foden and Bruno
    B. Salah and Diaby

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's not

      1. Mid budget coach
        3 years, 1 month ago

        All ears

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I just stated. It's not. Did you ask a question in your post? Anyway; it's an easy B

    2. Dosh
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Easy B

    3. mwa1t
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    4. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B in isolation but 3 mil price difference is substantial

      1. Mid budget coach
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely 3m and 2fts can avoid an early wildcard

    5. Mid budget coach
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B it is

  10. mwa1t
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think Son is being overhyped? He's had one good game, and even then, way overperformed his xG. If he continues to play up top I imagine he'll have a good season, but seems very soon for people to be rushing to get him.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thing is overperforming xG is what the best players do, and what Son has historically done. I do think he's being overhyped, but when you think back to how good a finisher he has generally been (if we ignore last season) he's a top option

    2. Nuka Girl
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Try it. See if it fits.
      If doesn't fit, can always return.

    3. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      only because of the strapping on knee (could mean reduced minutes for a while), otherwise no not at all. Any CF in Postegolou's system will be getting a ridiculous amount of goal scoring opportunities (if they're decent); in another life Kane stays and gets the golden boot with 35 goals or something

      plus Son on form and fit has always outdone his xG and anyone who scores a hat trick will be overperforming their xG by a considerable margin in a single game

      1. mwa1t
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I guess I would question whether he's 'on form' after 1 good performance. Obviously he played a different role, so it's contextual.

    4. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He's a good bet for gw5 Sheff Utd at home but next 2 games are
      Arsenal away & Liverpool home .
      As is always the case when a player hauls in one game but blanks in 3
      Everyone thinks that big returns will be the new norm but in reality the previous 3 games are nearer the truth .
      With Son 2 things have to be taken into account .
      His positional change & the quality of the opposition.

    5. Josh.E
      3 years, 1 month ago

      different position now different xg

    6. CRAZY TRAIN
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It does feel a bit like Sterling after gw3, but the way spurs are playing and Sheffield Utd at home makes him a worthy punt for this gw imo. He’s currently got the armband in my team too (although that could change obviously). I’m

  11. Dazzrb
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins + Chukwuemeka > Son + Ferguson?

    1. Dazzrb
      3 years, 1 month ago

      For minus 4…

      1. Nuka Girl
        3 years, 1 month ago

        The -4 bit put me off.

    2. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      is feguson fit? sadly he sounds like a great player to own in FPL in 1-2 years time once his body has adapted to being a pro footballer, and then Europe is there already taking minutes this season

    3. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It looks like you're trying to find a way to get Son this week .
      Why not get Morris at Luton in early before his double gw .
      He has good fixtures leading up to that .
      Plus you should be able to sell for a profit after his double .

  12. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you wildcard this? Already did FT…

    Turner
    Trent*. Estu. Chilwell
    Saka. Rash. Maddison. Foden. Mbuemo
    Ferguson*. Haaland

    Onana. Henry. Baldock*. Ujio**

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would probably only keep Chilwell. Saka. Maybe Maddison. Mbuemo. Haaland on WC

  13. N00B
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo will you play this week?
    A) Estupinan and Mbeumo
    B) Schar and Joao Pedro

    1. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B, don't think Brentford's attack is all that; maybe they score a goal from a jammy long throw

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

  14. F4L
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on TAA? Only see conjecture on RAWK, guessing there's nothing concrete about his fitness?

  15. rozzo
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On a wildcard

    A)

    Areola Turner
    Estupinan Udogie Cash Gusto Bell
    Salah Son Saka Maddison Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez Archer

    B)

    Areola LENO
    Estupinan Udogie Cash Gusto HENRY
    RASHFORD Son Saka Maddison Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez AWONIYI

    So that's how you spread the Salah cash everyone. Really worth it?

    Team B would be a nightmare with points on the bench all the time. Could downgrade Awoniyi to Archer and improve defence but there are no options really

    What do you think?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That’s a shocking defence. Gusto Bell waste of time. I think you need the Salah money to sort that rather then worry about Awoniyi

    2. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      you get TAA and Tripps imo and hope they get back to 5ppg and are gaining at least 2 if not 3 points every week on the rest

    3. mwa1t
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A is much better imo. B does have a stronger defence but that's about it. Even the, it's not considerable if you play 3ATB

  16. Make FPL Casual Again
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ake
    Estupinan
    Gusto

    Bench one, and why?

    Assuming leak of Ake starting. Will bench otherwise as cameo likely

    Then again Pep may start Ake for his height vs Whu

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would bench Estupinan as probably least likely to get a sheet. They will probably all concede having said that!

      1. Totalfootball
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Make FPL Casual Again
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah can see them all conceding..

        Have to say most chance of an attacking return is Estu...

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gusto because I don't trust Chelsea to keep a clean sheet. Bournemouth aren't exactly banging in goals but they're making enough chances and I suspect their direct style of attacking and quick forwards/wingers will trouble Chelsea

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yeah ..could be an option, worst underlying attacking stats also

  17. Totalfootball
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you go Alvarez or Watkins as 2nd striker on WC

    1. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      for watkins its how many minutes will he lose to Europe, no pens, why hasnt he scored this season yet (great GK saves + unlucky, or some Villa fans think he's way out of form). fixtures great though, good attacking side

      if alvarez got 200 mins every 3 games (or along those lines) he should be in everyone's team, even taking set-pieces. Now kovacic and grealish are missing training (maybe get a indication in press conference of length of time), imo just go for him and enjoy the ride (although long trip back from International duty for this GW)

    How many great players do we think Man Utd have ruined over the past 10 years?

    1. Scalper
      3 years, 1 month ago

      7

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How many players have actually improved after they have joined Manchester United in the past 10 years: none

      1. Scalper
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Arguably Bruno

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just his first season, maybe. Haven't seen much post that. Plays much better in the Portuguese shirt.

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 1 month ago

            He has been good, not his fault that others haven't imo. Annoying he is also, but that's a different story.

      2. Fellaini's Fro
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Luke Shaw?

    3. CRAZY TRAIN
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not as many as Chelsea

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Do name one great Chelsea player during last 10 years.

        1. GreennRed
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Terry.
          Hazard was unlikeable but fairly handy at club level.

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Fair. However not so many, especially lately.

            1. GreennRed
              3 years, 1 month ago

              No. My lasting memory of him was his gloating that Chelsea stopped Spurs winning the league when Leicester won it. A quality footballer when he wanted to be but not a fella who hated losing enough to depend on in a tight game, club or country. Drogba mightn't be on may lists of greats but he always seemed to turn up for the biggest games.

    4. GreennRed
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on how you define great. I don't think they have had great players in their pomp in the past 10 years. Ronaldo was past his great days when he signed second time around.

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba doesn't count imo 😉 He has ruined himself.

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How many players have they had that were "great"? It's quite a big compliment to pay to a player. Perhaps the only players I'd regard as "great" that were signed by ManUtd in the last 10 years are Cavani (long past his prime) and Di Maria, who was utilised in the wrong position, but it didn't ruin him. He's proven he was still a top player with everything he did since then

      1. rozzo
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez, Varane, Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Ronaldo and at times De Gea were all great players

  19. Manani
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Save FT?

    Turner Pickford
    Chiwell Saliba Estu Beyer Badlock
    Salah Mbuemo Sterling Saka Chukw
    Haaland Alvarez Watkins

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      Saka to Son(?) 😉

      1. Manani
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Tempted to do Salah to Son but think that will backfire

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Tbh I would. Your bench is weak and you will need that money. Saka could be or become a doubt etc.

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Look G2G as it stands? Turner/Onana & Gabriel/Estu/Gusto some close calls.

    Onana

    Estupinan, Chilwell, Gabriel
    
Foden, Saka, Rashford, Bruno, Maddison

    Haaland, N.Jackson

      I believe that atm he could be. We will have to wait for Arteta to tell us more. However, I expect Saka to get minutes at least.

    2. Fellaini's Fro

    b) Mitoma, Watkins -> Son, Morris (play Morris)

    Nothing in the bank and one free transfer, potentially take a -4 if the right moves!

    Onana
    Chilwell | Udogie | Gusto
    Rashford | Maddison | Salah | Saka
    Haaland | Pedro | Jackson

    | Areola | Anderson | Baldock | Bell

    Content creators are coming around to Son 😀

    @FPLMate Sep 12
    UNPOPULAR OPINION

    Sheffield Utd in GW5 is actually Son’s most DIFFICULT fixture in his next three.

    I’m not even 100% convinced he’ll play as a central striker against a back 3 + low block.

    @FPLMate 6h
    I’ve found a way of getting Son in to my team that I’m comfortable with, but it involves getting a forward worth £7.2m or less…

    Foden -> Son

    Watkins -> ??? (-4)

    Who would you go for? Álvarez? Awoniyi? Ferguson if fit?

    _

    @LetsTalk_FPL 4m
    Martinelli -> Sterling.
    Sterling -> Son.

    Plan would be to hold Son until another midfielder scores 19+ then get rid of him.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Andy is joking but he's definitely tempted!

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same as last week then where they all do the same move
