    Will manager be rotating for gw19?
    Like son/ salah/saka?

    Anyway will u do heechan to foden for a try for gw19?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      How about Richarlison instead?

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Richarlison too pricy for Hwang but a good one to be getting in.

        1. Letsgo!
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Not interested in him as also i see he is kind of injured when he is sub off?

          1. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Ange said after game he is OK. Had a back issue before the game.

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Thanks a lot for this 🙂

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Cheaper than Foden, but more likely to score on current form

          1. Letsgo!
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Still dont like richarlison

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              That's fine 😀

  2. Stig
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ignoring recency bias, given he’s just scored, who’s the better buy?

    A) Gabriel (4.9m)
    B) Saliba (5.5m)

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gabriel is nailed now, which was the only advantage Saliba had over him earlier in the season

      Gabriel, imo

    2. leeboy104
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gabriel

    3. Bob B
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      But remove Gabriel if Saliba ever gets injured, otherwise their CS % drops massively.

  3. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Also start saliba or baldock?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd trust Saliba here, with Baldock as maybe first sub

      I see the appeal of Baldock vs Luton though, but prefer playing someone from the league's best defence when it's down to a comparison

      1. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Agree agree thanks!

  4. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Solanke's form has made me re-evaluate my plans: I'm not selling this guy for Haaland, and I don't think I'll get Gross or Trippier over him long-term. Therein lies an opportunity, where I can go Salah + Archer to Haaland + Solanke in GW20 after rolling my GW19 FT, giving this squad with 1.1 ITB for GW20:

    Areola
    Gabriel Porro Trent
    Saka (V)Son Rich Bowen
    Solanke (C)Haaland Watkins
    .
    Dubravka Gordon Coufal Lascelles

    And then I'll lose Son for the Asian Cup, with a few defensive tweaks based on fixtures, then Salah in for Saka after AFCON:

    GW21: Son to D. Luiz
    GW22: Lascelles to Pau/Konsa
    GW23: Gabriel to Botman/Burn
    GW24/25: Saka to Salah

    2M OR in GW13, 500K now. This season has been another rollercoaster, but planning has helped curb my hit instincts (almost took a hit for Trippier this GW)

    Good luck, one and all 🙂

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good, one suggestion is to try and roll a FT if/when you can. Flexible when blanks and doubles drop

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks a lot, Tony 🙂

        It's already hard enough for me to avoid selling the injured Lascelles for a hit... Rolling FTs would take extra strength 😀

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Lascelles as a 5th def / 3rd bench at 4.2m is fine to leave on the bench until you have a spare transfer imo.

          Potential double for City Brentford in 25 is something to keep in mind

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            The defensive moves enable Saka to Salah

            It's all a bit far away though, as I'm rolling a FT for GW19:

            Dubravka
            Trent Porro Gabriel
            (C)Salah (V)Son Bowen Gordon Saka
            Solanke Watkins
            .
            Areola Archer Coufal Lascelles

            I agree on Lascelles not being a priority sale at 3rd sub, but I do want nailed Villa and Newcastle defenders from GW23. Lascelles (benched) and Gabriel (fixtures) are my routes to Pau/Konsa and Botman/Burn. It's more like a drawn-out WC. I'll see if I can roll the GW22 FT, then. Thanks for that

            About the potential City + Brentford double, maybe that'll trigger a wildcard. It's probably just Haaland and maaaaaybe Toney for me. It'll be hard to lose Watkins or Solanke

            What's your GW19 and/or long-term plan atm?

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah solid reasons for your transfer plans. Just a suggestion when I seen booked transfers in consecutive GWs.

              My team is similar to yours. At the moment probably roll FT this GW, Salah/Archer to Rich/Haaland in 20 and Son to Bowen in 21. See what the state of play is in 22 and see if I can fix Livramento spot.

              1FT 7.6ITB
              Dubravka
              Porro Saliba Gabriel
              Salah Saka Palmer Gordon Son
              Solanke Watkins
              (Areola Archer Livramento Taylor)

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Good stuff here too

                I wouldn't lose any of your three starting defenders for Trent, so I like this plan

                Good luck! 🙂

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I am considering Watkins to Haaland and not Solanke. The only issue is short term, it is Watkins who has the the better fixtures but the extra cash will allow me upgrades elsewhere. I also wonder if Solanke can keep it up.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, that's a tough one with funds. I've learnt not to consider selling Watkins when fit this season. He's approaching this for me: "Don't sell. Don't bench. Don't cap"

        Good luck, big dude

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah and I have a lot of value tied up in him so probably won’t be able to get him back without a big sacrifice elsewhere in the team. He is second overall for strikers (although third is Solanke). Tough call indeed. This week will be Tsimikas out anyway I think.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Yup. Hopefully, something will be more obvious before the GW20 deadline

  5. Norco
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Tsimikas> Gusto to free up some funds for Bowen/Haaland next week?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe, but I'm personally avoiding Chelsea defence

      1. Norco
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, need a 4.3 max defender to have the funds ready to go. Not sure who else at 4.3.

        Gusto would be 4th defender (Pau injured 5th) but yeah when is Pau is back Gusto would be bench fodder.

        Or go the likes of 3.9 Mengi

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Okay, makes a lot of sense here. I'll take Gusto over Mengi or any other at that price, yeah, especially since Senesi rose out of it

        2. Davros
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Branthwaite if you trust Eve

  6. grooveymatt65
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys, might save next week but not sure, getting frustrated with Saka and Darwin. Here's my team:

    Dubravka/Areola

    Gabriel Porro TAA /Mitchell Kabore

    Salah Son Saka Palmer/Anderson

    Haaland Darwin Watkins

    £2.5

    1ft

    1. Darwin to Alverez

    2. Saka to Richarlison for free

    3. Saka to Sterling for free

    4. Darwin to Wilson for free

    5. Save

    6. Other

    Thanks guys!!!

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Easy 5 and save

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      5

      Isak was fit enough for the bench, so I'd avoid Wilson *and* Isak for the foreseeable future, then the fixtures don't help either

      Haaland - Watkins - Solanke looks to be the target frontline, until Nkunku and Toney shake things up, maybe

    3. grooveymatt65
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      thanks guys and yeah forgot about Toney, fair enough, yeah Wilson is a tricky one although I kinda want him but might not risk it and will save

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        If moving now, I think Jesus is primed for Christmas festivities with those four fixtures

  7. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    With Tsimikas out, Joe Gomez will be playing LB for a couple of games at least right?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No other options so yes

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, with Trent back to RB instead of midfield

      Unless Klopp plays a youngster at RB

  8. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Me thinks Dubravka/Areola is a home/away rotation

  9. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Good to carry transfer I think but is bench correct- ( surely can’t bench Darwin v Burnley before he leaves team for Haaland if fit in 20 and Gordon must be running on empty with Newcastle first game on Tuesday)

    Dubravka
    TAA Porro Gabriel
    Salah (c) Son Saka Palmer
    Watkins Darwin Solanke

    Areola Gordon Livramento Taylor

    1. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Surely you’ve learnt by now you can’t bench Gordon at home

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        So you would bench Darwin?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Gordon has some form. Darwin too inconsistent for now.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe Palmer

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            But yeah, Darwin is your 8th attacker... Not Palmer or Gordon

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              The other 7 can attack though 😉

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Absolutely 😀

            2. dunas_dog
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              If Palmer happened to get yellow card tomorrow would make decision easier … lol!

              1. GreennRed
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Stop it. I just got him for Saka.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I would play Gordon at home over Darwin

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Sensible but 1 last hurrah for Darwin v Burnley hard to turn down despite his failures so far. How bad it would feel if he did haul. At least if not owned no temptation to go to the dark side…. lol!

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      How do you still own Darwin?? He is not even worth 5.5

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thank God I got rid for Solanke last week

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        My Haaland replacement once fit

  10. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Senesi has 11 starts this season.

    Last 3 games : 2 goals, 1 assist, 34 points including 7 baps.

    Iraola slowly turning things around at Bournemouth.

    4.4m until prices change.

    1. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      On 4 YC though

  11. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Dubravka
    Trippier Porro Udogie (Lascelles Tsimikas)
    Salah Saka Martinelli Son Palmer
    Watkins Solanke (Archer)

    Enough money to do a straight swap Watkins - Haaland, any other players to look out for if Haaland is not fit?
    Will be using the wildcard next week!

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      GW20 WC means you don't have to lose Watkins for Haaland here

      I'd focus on Tsimikas to Trent with those funds instead, as that has a good chance of repaying immediately and you won't want Tsimikas on your wildcard

      Watkins is a long-term hold, imo. Maybe Solanke is too...

  12. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Morning all ,

    Tsmikas/Lascelles out for who? 7.8£ ITB

    Dubruv (Turner)
    Porro Lascelles Gab (Tsimi Guehi)
    Saka Gordon Son Salah Palmer
    Solanke Watkins (Woodrow)

    Thanks & Merry Xmas

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      TAA surely

  13. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth going from Saka ➡️ TAA for -4?

    Something like Saka & Tsimikas ➡️ Andreas & TAA ?

    Don’t know how long I can hold Saka anymore. A low block in the next 4 green fixtures won’t be easy for him either.

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Any way of getting TAA for free? Saka has been frustrating but I would keep for now

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Nah no other way

      2. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Petrovic/Areola
        Trippier/Porro/Colwill/Tsimi/Lascelles
        Salah/Rich/Gordon/Palmer/Saka
        Watkins/Solanke/Haaland

        1FT/0.1itb

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Oh, this looks like it could work with a 3-4-3 if you switch Saka to Trent via Wilson (not Andreas)

          Just feels like the worst time to sell Saka. His stats have been good, he's still taking some delightful corners, and he's been a bit unlucky. Those four upcoming fixtures might not see double figures every game, but I think it's a scary time to sell

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Worth it. How much have you for a mid?

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        5.3

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Andreas isn't a great pick for 5.3 I think. Skewed by one big game. Maybe Soucek or McTominay a touch better but not much. Depends on your starters but maybe a fodder mid gives you scope to upgrade elsewhere?

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Tsimikas > Taa for free? Would need to downgrade saka to get in Haaland when he’s fit.

    1. Phil's Stamps

      Yes.

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years

      Depends on your team structure, but yes he's nice to have. Won't score a hattrick every week of course

        And Forest had an early red card. Happy owner here, but I wouldn't rush to buy now when there are other issues like Haaland, AFCON and Asia Cup to manoeuvre

    Don't own Solanke.

    Started Tsimikas over Gabriel.

    Nunez's 1 pointer blocking Archer first sub.

    Thank you FPL for ruining Christmas and my life.

      Snapsies. I need 6 goals from Sterling to save my week...

    That Tsimikas long-term injury likely means Gomez has to play at LB until Robbo returns, locking Trent at RB instead of midfield

    Probably just two GWs or so until Robbo returns anyway

    1. Tonyawesome69

      Does Mac coming back also reduce the chances in Trent in midfield?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        My guess is that Big Mac will replace Endo instead

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ah ignore me,
          Klopp tends to move Trent to midfield when he makes changes during the game in midfield and has Tsimikas/Robbo/Gomez to play FB.

    WC now or next week?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Good question

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Team-dependent... And some more personal factors:

      Is Haaland fit for Everton? Is he worth the sacrifices, like missing out on Trent/Salah vs Burnley?

      When will you sell Salah and Son?

      Got flags, rotation risks and/or Darwin?

      Tried to do Tsimikas to Porro 5 minutes ago when he was still

        Cool story bro

      gutted Trent didn't rise. want everyone to be put off getting him.

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        They won't be put off with price rises. Most people have haaland money. Then will have Salah & Son to sell to get haaland bag

    Cash gonna survive another week. Everytime week is number transfer and then something of higher priority crops up, this GW is Tsimikas.

    May even take a hit to get rid of Cash, just to compound the misery lol

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think I’m going Csh before Tsimi because I can manage one price drop on the latter. But tiring of the DEF transfers

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Seems like every week, right...at least mids are being consistent

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years

      Same here. I've been churning through defensive transfers due to likes of James, maguire injuries.i have a wildcard next week so this week I effectively get to go for a fun differential, but may be forced to do a defensive transfer just to avoid the cash price drop.

  28. Jafooli

    23 points on the bench - Areola, Archer, Taylor and Tsimikas

    Joy

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      At least you benched Tsimikas

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        *And played Cash lol

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Haha. I sold Areola to Leno for a hit. One of those weeks.

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years

      28 here. Areola, Gabriel, archer, baldock

      24 pts. on my bench.

      Areola Saliba Archer Taylor 🙁

    4. ScoopinCardiff

      Areola, Taylor, Archer, Gabriel.

    Anyone else risking going without Haaland for a week or two and then using Salah & Son funds to get 'im back in, once confirmed fit and performing again?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Think I may do. Trent is too tempting. Even trying to fool myself that having Alvarez might cover him somehow..

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I am. Downgrading from those two will allow me to do Alvarez > Haaland

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        No he’s not - he’s back to full back now so no longer midfielder

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          fair point, he still looked pretty attacking though

    2. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      At least holding off for GW19. If fit he'll come in to replace nunez for GW20 (Salah out financing it)

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, looking at similar

  30. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If he doesn't get hurt tomorrow, would you do Tsimi > Gusto or is there a better option.

    Have 2.7 ITB and other Defenders are Gabriel/Trip/Porro/Tark

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      That's my move. Got Porto, saliba, Gabriel and unfortunately Cash.
