    On WC

    Who is the best 10.5 DF/MF combo for this team

    Sels Muric

    Gabriel Colwill TAA VDB xxxxxxx

    Saka Semenyo Mbeumo McNeil xxxxxxx

    Solanke Jackson Haaland

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    1. AYEW JOKING

        Saka imo

          Disagree.

      You think Raya can beat Alisson's (176) and Ederson's (169) best ever totals this year? would be extra impressive in with the new bps system where gks are less rewarded

      1. SpaceCadet

        The way he’s started he might beat them by Christmas.

        Martinez and friedel got more

        1. Qaiss

          That Martinez Covid season was special, owned him from the start that year

        They are awarded less when they concede but so far, if a GK has kept a CS, they've usually been in the bonus. In fact, there have been a total of 20 clean sheets this season and a goalkeeper has gotten at least 1 bonus in 15/20 games.

      Arsenal now sit 19th for total shots allowed in this PL season (only Brentford are worse), 16th for shot conceded inside the area, and plumb last for shots conceded outside. Those stats are obviously distorted by the second half yesterday but they weren't high in any of those categories before that and now look like they could be without the player who's been performing wonders keeping the ball out of the net.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        Red cards in 2 games obviously didn’t help

      2. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        Raya is fine

      3. Nightcrawler
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        Context is everything

        Red card in 2 games
        Away to spurs and villa in 2 other games

        Also before the Haaland goal arsenal haven't trailed this season. were leading at HT in the two easier home games anyway

      I'm unsure if this team needs WC now or next GW

      Hendo, Bentley
      TAA, Porro, Konsa, Hall, Johnson
      Palmer, Mbuemo, Diaz, Rogers, Winks
      Haaland, DCL, Isak

      Did Jota to Mbuemo for 1 free I had.

      Kindly help

            I've done A

              2 months, 11 days ago

              Feedback seems to be B. I've had another look at xMin for Diaz given the fixtures coming up for Pool, and while his xG is probably higher, this is based on the premise that he plays 70+ minutes. That's not certain at all.

              Risk v Reward says Havertz and Semenyo and reassess in GW8.

              1. El_Matador
                • 13 Years
                2 months, 11 days ago

                I'm already maxed out on Arsenal and have never really liked Havertz as a pick as he can be reverse oop, depending on what lego head is thinking that week.

                Best of luck!

            Havertz is a cheap shot artist. Surely he's due for a red card soon.

          Long term - Solanke or Maddison ?

          Both seem to have similar returns extrapolating their history to 38 full games.

          1. AYEW JOKING
              2 months, 11 days ago

              Solanke

            • F4L
              • 9 Years
              2 months, 11 days ago

              to decide long term would wait to see how Spurs do in the next 2, tougher games. Maddison is streaky but injury last year ruined him, need to see Solanke playing at full fitness. also if Solanke got given pens its not a contest imo.

              taking a punt right now Solanke.

              1. FHRITP
                • 1 Year
                2 months, 11 days ago

                Got Solanke currently and no room for both. I think as you say give it a few games yet and see. Leaning towards Solanke as so many options around that price in mid, not so many up front

            Have 1 FT. Is Palmer to Saka the most important transfer? Gives me 0.6 to upgrade elsewhere in the weeks following this GW.

            Raya
            TAA Porro Konsa
            Palmer Jota Mbeumo Rogers
            Haaland Watkins Pedro

              Saka is Mr Reliable and his next 3 fixtures are easy on paper. Get him in!

              • 15 Years
              2 months, 11 days ago

              Personally i think Jota is pressing, especially if he starts midweek

            Afternoon all,
            Coming to the UK from Oz in December and hoping to get 2x tickets to the Spurs vs Chelsea game. Any suggestions on best way to get tickets? Stubhub is selling some at a reasonable price? Cheers

              If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

            Seb pursuing the get 5 free transfers at all cost strategy has been a disaster so far.

          7. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 11 days ago

            Wilcard…. Had enough YES or NO for this exchange

            IN
            Haaland Jackson NDiaye
            Saka Palmer Diaz ESR (Dibling)
            Gabriel Mazrsoui Fofana (Faes, Greaves)
            Raya (Fabs)

            OUT
            Haaland Watkins Pedro
            Salah Jota Minteh ESR (Elanga)
            Gvardiol Munoz Robinson (Faes, Myolenko)

            Or what would you change with you alter with the IN team …….?
            I needed to downgrade Watkins to NDiaye to complete the team
            Sort of wanted Foden, but would mean losing Diaz or Palmer

          8. Atimis
            • 8 Years
            2 months, 11 days ago

            Would you try to fit in Watkins on a WC? Of course would require some sacrifices if you want to keep Saka, TAA and Gab/Raya at the same time.

              • 9 Years
              2 months, 11 days ago

              Would fit him in over TAA

            • 7 Years
            2 months, 11 days ago

            On Wildcard now:
            Which option is better:
            A)ESR or
            B) Rogers
            C) Raya/Gabriel/Saka or
            D)Gabriel/Saka/Havertz

            1. The Biscuitmen
              • 2 Years
              2 months, 11 days ago

              B & C but there can't be many team structures where you can't afford both A & B, both are great value

          10. The Biscuitmen
            • 2 Years
            2 months, 11 days ago

            2FTs 0.4 itb

            Raya, Ward
            Konsa, TAA, Lewis, Van den Berg,Faes
            Palmer, Eze, ESR, Rogers, Salah
            Wood, Haaland Jebbison

            Lewis & Salah > Gabriel & Saka? Or hold tight. Van den Berg could do a job over the next few weeks with Brentford having a good run of games. Obviously selling Salah can always hurt you but got to hold the premium players to a higher standard, 2 home games against promoted teams for Arsenal should be as good a little run as you'll get.

            1. PascalCygan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 months, 11 days ago

              Upgrade Faes rather than Lewis, who could easily come back and play plenty of games

              1. The Biscuitmen
                • 2 Years
                2 months, 11 days ago

                Would have the funds so I like the idea but Faes seems a good set and forget 4.0 defender, bit worried I'd have a bit too much tied up in a non-starter with Lewis not playing yesterday. Depends if that was specific to playing Arsenal or if he's going to be a major rotation risk going forwards.

                1. PascalCygan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  2 months, 11 days ago

                  fair enough. might be worth the occasional benching for his high ceiling. but those benchings do hurt, i get that!

            2 months, 11 days ago

            On wildcard and keen on a Bournemouth attacker for their nice two upcoming fixtures. Who would you go for?

            A) Evanilson. Big differential, decent underlying stats, could switch to DCL or other 6.0m forward
            B) Semenyo. Can see why he's so popular, but it would have to be at the expense of ESR, who's been excellent value

            Problem with either is downturn in fixtures from 8-10 but guess we could bench them for those.

            Cheers

                  Can't decide myself, he seems to be a great value for 5.0 but do I really want to play over others?

              • 2 Years
              2 months, 11 days ago

              Semenyo's stats are pretty good, about 0.9 xGI per 90 on understat so I get why he's popular. ESR and Rogers seem to be the budget midfielders of choice so I quite like the Evanilson shout.

            Please select a move this week:

            A: Isak, Gordon, Barco -> Wood, Mbeumo, Gabriel for -4.
            B: Isak, Gordon -> Havertz, Mbeumo
            C: Gordon, Mykolenko -> Mbeumo, Gabriel
            D: Isak, Gordon -> Vardy, Saka
            E: Roll FT
            F: Other, what?

            2 FT
            £0,2m in bank

            "Wheel said C". Do you agree with it?

            Not going to WC this week, unless major injuries occur.

                True.

                  Except that I made a mistake and that move is not even possible.

                  Darn.

              Not the most exciting way to use 4FTs, but B.B.D and Muniz have to go I suppose. Why not just use 2FTs on those two?

                Team looks like this:

                Pope
                Gabriel Saliba Porro
                Diaz Jota Gordon ESR
                Haaland Isak Muniz

                  Replacing Isak, Jota, Muniz would give you more exciting options

                    If I have a whiff of Jota being benched at the weekend I’ll move to Mbeumo.

            Had an awful start do I need to take some gambles on WC?

            X, Bentley
            TAA, Gabriel, X, X, Greaves
            Saka, Diaz, Mbuemo, Rogers, ESR/Semenyo
            Haaland, X, DCL

            A) Raya, Collins, Aina/Mykolenko, Solanke
            or B) Flekken, Dalot, Mykolenko, Havertz

            Would love to fit Watkins or Palmer in plus obviously Salah but not sure my TV can afford it. Solanke probably safer over Jackson as only have 1FT and want to save them up hopefully.

              B, but maybe with Sels? I'm also looking to double Arsenal attack as a way to regain a bit of ground in the next 3. Raya should be a safe 14pts but unlikely to accrue bonus / many saves; Havertz's ceiling should really be higher than that

                Thanks. I like Flekken if I don't have Collins though most saves of anyone and some decent fixtures coming. Double Arsenal attack for the next 3 should be nice. Not sure on Dalot though but can afford to 5.1.

                  I'm looking at Dalot too actually. Still very unsettled on my WC defence but they looked pretty decent on Sat and he seems to be in peak bonus-hogging form. Immediate fixtures aren't great but can maybe rotate him

                    Thank you. He has looked quite good in the few games I've seen of him but still not convinced 100%

              C raya,colwill,vdb,jackson gives you the gw6 w/c template,which is obviously very goog.couldnt be categorised as a gamble though

              I prefer A though I'm not convinced about the Brentford defensive options - no clean sheet yet despite a mixture of very tough fixtures (great for Flekken with 8 save points already) and quite easy ones (they still conceded). Could you do Raya, Mazraoui (I can't see Shaw returning for another month), Ait Nouri (buried on the bench until GW9) and Solanke?

              Beast of a midfield btw!!

                Thanks guys. Do you think ESR is safer then Semenyo. Hoping to go for a longer term team after having to waste a transfer every week this season. A is safer I feel but I'm at about 4 million rank so do I need to take a risk.

                I like Jackson but after the next two fixtures turn. I could do Martinez and Collins I think Brentford will improve. Looked at Ait Nouri but his fixtures are tough and Wolves haven't been great . Brentford and Forest/Everton rotate quite nicely if I go A

                  I have a couple of mini-leagues that have been running for a few years. I have had a decent start (ranked 573k) but a lot of the people around me in my mini-leagues aren't usually there. Their teams look like they've chosen 4-5 premium players and auto-filled the rest. They all have both Salah and Haaland.

                  I think this reflects the overall game, with a lot of players currently getting backed into a corner. They will want to keep Haaland, Salah, Isak, Saka, but will find that by having £4.0m defenders who aren't playing, or very specifically Harry Winks in midfield and Fabianski as the bench GK, their team value will only drop. An early gain in rank will keep them happy, but their lack of squad depth will lead to a situation that's impossible to manage.

                  Active managers who look at FFS will potentially have teams worth around £101m already.

                  So your 4m rank wouldn't be a worry to me and shouldn't be to you. I'm sure you'll just shuffle up the pack as weeks progress and some managers fall away.

              Yo guys! I need help. I have confirmed my 2 free transfers and another one for a -4 hit. (3 transfers in total). I want to activate my wildcard, so that I can have some more transfers this gameweek. I struggle with understanding how the new rules will affect this. Do you know if I will then get my 2 free transfers back (as if I never confirmed them), and can therefore roll them, as suggested my the new rules. Or are they gone, and I will not get them back if I activate my wildcard now. I need to be 100% certain before activating it. Taking a hit would not be too bad, but I would prefer a wildcard this week. But I would not want to use my wildcard if I would not get my free transfers back.
