      Don't like ESR or 4.5 non playing forward

        okay so its clear to me you prefer rogers to ESR even though he has scored already this season. Any reason why for this apart from upcoming fixtures?

          Rogers looks a lot better, in a better side, playing more minutes. He's been unfortunate to not have an attacking return yet (more so Watkins' fault than his...)

      Decent

      I went with this as you have Ars cover with Havertz instead of Diaz. Lewis also might be rotated and Villa have some nice fixtures coming up

      Raya / Fabianski
      Robbo / Robinson / Konsa / Faes / Greaves
      Salah / Palmer / Rogers / Semenyo / Winks
      Haaland / Havertz / Pedro

      o.3 in the bank to spare

      Draft implies not activated. Better to wait until 6 for Arsenal fixture run

    bottomed

    okay so trying to figure out this wildcard...
    I can understand ESR and konate are worse than Rogers and Robbo.

    But I feel Livramento will be better than Robinson - New better defence
    Why is Greaves a better pick than Mazraoui/Martinez from Utd ? is he OOP?

      Don't disagree on Livramento. If you want to go for him over Robinson, that's completely understandable. Robinson is very attacking though and has 2 assists in 3 games already. Livra also has been subbed pre-60 and Newcastle as a team have not been super convincing so far.

      Greaves is 4.0m. Mazraoui is 4.5m. There are better 4.5ms than the United guys.

      Robinson seems a solid pick, he's been picking up points without clean sheets. Always helpful.

    Decided to wildcard, should have done it last night but there you go.

    Raya / Fab

    TAA / Robinson / Konsa / 4m / 4m

    Salah / Bowen / Diaz / Eze / Rogers

    Haaland / Pedro / Wissa

    Could also switch Bowen&Diaz to Palmer&Winks - what do you prefer?

      everyone gonna say go for diaz and bowen because of recency bias... if palmer got his 17 points and diaz blanked this week it would be a different story.

        That's why I'm thinking of switching to Palmer&Winks too. Diaz&Bowen have the fixtures too tbf.

      I like it. Both options are fine.

      I lean Diaz Bowen because it gives you triple Liverpool. If we find out that Diaz definitely starts (Colombia duty...) in GW4 vs NFO then I'd go there. Otherwise Palmer + Winks is fine too.

        Thanks Camzy. There's also the option to go for Havertz&Semenyo rather than Wissa&Bowen. Again, they're all good picks.

    Considering these three:

    1) Saka Wood to Salah JP -4 (taking Murphy price drop)

    2) Murphy to Eze/Mitoma/Diaz and Saka to Son next week (no funds for Salah)

    3) Wood to JP and Saka to Salah next week (taking Murphy price drop)

    or WC?

    1. Atimis

      WC could be:

      4.5/4.0
      TAA/Robo/4.5/4.5/4.0
      Salah/Eze/Semenyo/Minteh/Rogers
      Haaland/Isak/Pedro

      GW6 Eze Isak to Mbeumo Havertz leaving some ITB to upgrade one of the mids/defs before GW7

    Trent Gabriel De Ligt
    Eze Gordon Jota Diaz
    Pedro Isak Havertz

    Onana Mbeumo Porro Hall

    Did Son to Eze, 3.1m ITB 0 FT

    Southampton being really bad, should I risk Onana and De Ligt over Raya and Gabriel?

    gw2 I lost 19 potential points playing Hall, Onana and De Ligt instead of Gabriel, Raya and Amad.

    I'm finding it difficult to justify a WC. OR 162K BB used GW1.

        Ars more likely to keep a clean sheet than porro to get an assist or clean sheet

          yeah that's where I'm at. Onana or Raya? I reckon Man Utd have a better chance of a clean sheet than Arsenal.

    Just had a look at heat maps for onana vs rogers - both look very similar in the last 2 games... surely we go for onana ahead of rogers or am i missing something?

      That doesn't look similar to me.

      Onana is mostly defensive third and Rogers attacking third.

      I'm sure Onana will do better than 3 goals in 2 seasons at Everton. I just read today Villa scored more at piece goals than any team in top 5 leagues (last season I think or maybe calendar year).
      That said expecting Onana to score 2 set piece goals every 3 games is like expecting frequent hauls from Palmer

      Onana reminds me of other defensive mids that have done this before at the beginning of the season. They score a few and people jump on him, gets a few price rises and then it will peter out.

        Are the defensive midfielders being given that label without really considering what they do for the team/in FPL though? If we took Arsenal as an example Declan Rice isn't a defensive midfielder like you'd consider one traditionally but he gets that FPL label. 16 goal involvements last season. I know he takes some set pieces too but he got 7 goals from his 'defensive mid' position last year. 18 for Rodri by the way from 34 appearances. That is over 1 in 2. There are some defensive midfielders who do literally just break stuff up and never get forwards but I think Onana might be more like these two and maybe he didn't get that licence under Dyche at Everton.

    Need some help. Current WC Draft

    Raya Fabianski

    TAA Lewis Konsoa Greaves Bednarek

    Salah Palmer Mbuemo Semenyo ESR

    Pedro Haaland Wheatley

    Only concern is the bench.

    What would you prefer.

    A) 3-5-2 With TAA , ESR , Greaves as sub
    Or
    B) 3-4-3 with Robbo , Wood and Mazrouroi (or any 4.5) as sub.

    Appreciate any help

    Good Morning all. Can you please advise on the below:

    a) Son, Saka & Hall -> Salah, Minteh & Robertson -4
    b) Son & Isak -> Salah & J.Pedro

    b) means going without Liverpool defence.

    Also, i will be wildcarding in GW6. Thanks !
