    need semenyo to at least score a goal to save my GW lol

    palmer really pack a punch to my rank

      Hoping for a brace at least.

        Bugger that, I need a Hattie from him.

    Does Konsa to VDB make sense?

    1. Runnerboy31
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 9 hours ago

      They’ll be more important transfers down the line. This isn’t a priority.

  3. balint84

    A) Saliba+ Wood
    B) VandeVen+ Solanke (-4)

    Which one to choose?

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 4 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      B

    I dub this the 'Red GW'.

    Huge numbers of WCs played into big losses. The template midfield, (Saka Diaz Mbeumo Semenyo Rogers), who all played in some shade of red underdelivered, while all the 'Blue' players like Palmer and McNeil hauled.

    Typical FPL. I must say I've enjoyed this week a lot though. The schadenfreude is delicious even while I ate a red arrow as well. This game is something else. FPLReview and the AI models having nightmare starts is also excellent for the game. A whole bunch of nobodies at the top of mini leagues that have just held onto Palmer and perma-capped Haaland. It's great. I love the pricing this year and it's definitely made the game more swingy, less predictable and you can't have them all so week to week we have to adjust.

    1. PartyTime
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Oh well, Camzy! you took my advice for granted but it was only 1 gw so a lot would still happen.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 days, 16 hours ago

        Palmer + Salah did destroy my rank. But I'm not the only one who got hit. It's what it is.

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 14 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      I agree (even though I admit I'm a Palmer owner) - its nicely unpredictable this year. Owning only three out of the big four is always going to lead to GWs like this - not to mention the huge choice of forwards

    3. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Who decided that was the template midfield?

    4. Waylander
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      Mbeumo and Rogers both scored and Semenyo hasn't even played yet. How is that underlivering?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 days, 15 hours ago

        Most people only got Mbeumo because Rogers was their 5th mid. But I would argue most people with that midfield are disappointed by the returns from this week considering the huge scores from Salah, Palmer etc who they likely wildcarded out.

        1. Studs Up
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          5 days, 15 hours ago

          can vouch for that...Palmer + Salah out with Rogers benched

    5. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      To reverse a quote that a wise man once said “this is the week that Haaland owners cry”

  5. KeanosMagic
    • 2 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    Missed price change (and monster haul!), but Salah + DCL to Palmer + Watkins? Have exact cash

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Yep

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Oh yes

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      yes

  6. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    Haven’t seen Everton highlights. Was DCL close to scoring or looked threatening?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Yeah , he wasn't bad
      Eve attack is quite decent.

    2. gergin
      • 9 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      I watched last 3 Everton games and easily can say Ndiaye is the forward you need from this team. Words from DCL owner, if it matters.

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 3 Years
        5 days, 16 hours ago

        He's been touted as a good player, but is Ndiaye good in FPL for G&A though

        1. gergin
          • 9 Years
          5 days, 16 hours ago

          At 5,4, rotated with 5th midfielder may be. But is not worse option compared to DCL for sure.

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 days, 16 hours ago

          I do wonder.
          I got him this week and watched his full match this week and last week.
          He's a clever box of tricks alright and great watch, but spends most of his time in mf and just stretching himself a little too much.
          Fingers crossed though, as I don't fancy making another change for that slot for a while

          1. gergin
            • 9 Years
            5 days, 15 hours ago

            He is a winger, not a striker. The main reason why McNeil play in #10 slot. I think owning McNeil from this attack is enough, but You don`t have free slots in midfield and want forward, Ndiaye will outscore DCL, because of assists and bonus points.

  7. No Kane No Gain
    • 5 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    Gone from 1.1M to 90,000 OR…:thank you captain Palmer!

    Do I give him the armband again or do I but it back on haaland and save the rank?!

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      Alpha move would be to sell Palmer to Saka and captain

    2. Waylander
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      Why not?

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Wow nice

      I dropped 1.5m places from 400k to 1.9m OR.

      F*** this game
      Good times.

  8. Sospeter

    Bowen for a punt
    Thoughts

    1. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      I'm with you!

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      West Ham normally wheel out Ings for his yearly brace for this sort of game at home against a newly promoted side. Bowen should do well too.

    3. Rodney
      • 10 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      We look like we have no idea how to play football atm. As a West Ham fan it's a strong avoid for any of our players.

    Thoughts on what to do with 2 FT here? Thinking Salah, Pedro > Palmer, Solanke but open to hits.

    Raya
    TAA Konate Lewis Pau
    Salah Eze Mbeumo Semenyo
    Haaland Havertz

    Fabianski Pedro Winks Greaves 0 ITB

    1. afsr
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      Good plan, do it. No hits needed

  10. afsr
    • 8 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    Left myself 0.6 on the WC, thought it was a sign and rage transferred Saka -> Palmer on Saturday. G2G?

    Raya, 4.0
    TAA, Gabriel, Lewis
    Palmer, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Diaz
    Haaland, Jackson, Wood

    4.0, Dibling, Mykolenko, Greaves

    1. afsr
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      0.0 ITB, 0FT

    2. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years

      Early kneejerk when 90% of your squad have midweek games, classic

      1. afsr
        • 8 Years
        5 days, 15 hours ago

        That's why I've got that brilliant bench ready

    3. basilfawlty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      Solid, prefer Solanke to Jackson. Own TAA also, not convinced he's worth the price

      1. afsr
        • 8 Years
        5 days, 15 hours ago

        Getting Solanke after the international break when Tottenham's good fixtures start

  11. KirkhamWesham

    Awful week.
    38 (-4)

    Would you hit wildcard?

    Raya
    TAA Porro Gabriel
    Saka Rogers Diaz Mbeumo Smith-Rowe
    Wood Haaland

    Valdimarsson Robinson Harwood Pedro

    1ft

    1. PogChamp

      No. Not unless you want Palmer.

      1. KirkhamWesham
        • 3 Years
        5 days, 15 hours ago

        Palmer, most certainly, would be on my wildcard.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 days, 15 hours ago

          What structure? 2 x prem mids and Haaland?

          1. KirkhamWesham
            • 3 Years
            5 days, 15 hours ago

            Possibly. It'd be somet I'd play with.
            Diaz would be his replacement, I think.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              5 days, 15 hours ago

              Pretty close to a WC, I'd wait another week or 2.

              1. KirkhamWesham
                • 3 Years
                5 days, 15 hours ago

                OK. Cheers.
                My intention was always WC12 but I know there's a bit of knee perking within me.
                Poor GW and wanting Palmer.

                  • 14 Years
                  5 days, 15 hours ago

                  You could get Palmer in 2 moves next week if you want.

                    And keep Saka.

  12. PogChamp

    Good morning. Would you do anything with this team?

    Henderson
    Trent Gabriel Lewis
    Saka McNeil ESR Jota
    Solanke Watkins Haaland

    Mathews Mavadidi Aina Johnson

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      Looks solid.
      How much in the bank? How much cash?

      1. PogChamp
        • 13 Years
        5 days, 15 hours ago

        0.0 ITB

        1. KirkhamWesham
          • 3 Years
          5 days, 15 hours ago

          I assume no free transfers.
          I wouldn't take a hit for anything.

          1. PogChamp
            • 13 Years
            5 days, 15 hours ago

            1FT. No I won’t be taking any hits.

            1. KirkhamWesham
              • 3 Years
              5 days, 15 hours ago

              There's nothing I'd change. Raya would be nice but I wouldn't sacrifice any of your forwards for him.

  13. Mozumbus
    • 3 Years
    5 days, 15 hours ago

    2 FTs, exact funds
    ESR + Mykolenko > McNeil + Lewis
    Yes or No?
    (Don't have DCL)

    1. KirkhamWesham
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      I wouldn't. No.

    2. GreennRed
      • 13 Years

      Roll.

    3. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      I own Lewis, I can't wait to transfer him out!

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 8 Years
        5 days, 15 hours ago

        Why

  14. Miguel Sanchez
    • 8 Years
    5 days, 15 hours ago

    Who scores more next two GWs:

    A) Havertz (SOU, bou)
    B) Solanke (bha, WHU)

    1. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      5 days, 15 hours ago

      B.

    2. RichardNixon
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Flip a coin I reckon.

      Solanke has the highest xG per 90mins in the league with 1.12, ahead of Watkins with 1.02 and Haaland with 0.96. Havertz has 0.76 but Arsenal have had some tough fixtures including two games where they played with 10 men.

      I prefer Solanke out of those two but that's due to longer-term fixtures.

    Now that we have 6 weeks of data in, this is one for the members. I have a stats table which I've been using for the last few years that gives me all the key data I need to find the best attacking players.

    I call it the Offensive Contributions Master with the main filter being xGI.
    https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/35401/

    The default is to filter by players that have accumulated at least 1.0xGI in the last 6 gameweeks so that it doesn't gather every single player under the sun and keeps it to FPL relevant players.

    I use this table to scout primarily, as well as individual player comparisons if it's close between two options, and match data if I want to see player position heat maps. I sometimes change the filter for the table to be mids, defs or fwds only or to limit it by price bracket but all the stats I care about are there.

    Big chances, shots in the box and xGI are the key metrics I feel give the best sense of a players' FPL potential so I look at these columns most closely.

    Worth -4?

    TAA & DCL —> Van de berg & Watkins

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Not for me, although I assume that VDB wont be your 3rd def?

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 8 Years
        5 days, 14 hours ago

        Defence will be:

        Saliba/VVD/Robinson/VDB/Barco

        1. JT11fc
          • 6 Years
          5 days, 14 hours ago

          Def wouldnt be too bad, just not sure I value Watkins high enough personally, fixtures average and hes competing with Solanke etc for the position. prehaps my bias might be talking tho....

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Not for me, no

  17. JT11fc

    How much do we think Rodri out will affect City? considering that he hasnt actually played much this season and City have still done ok albeit against mostly easy opposition

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Well they did ok without him for first 3 games. But he is a beast and they will miss him

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        5 days, 14 hours ago

        Ye they did ok, 3 games after havnt been convincing tho and Rodri only played a minimal part in those

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      if him being out means Pep won't play Foden and KDB together in midfield like last season, that will have a big knock on affect

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        5 days, 14 hours ago

        True that, they seem to be relying on their wingers more this season and prehaps will have to even more now, they looked abit short on creative ideas in the middle v New

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      about 25% reduction in CSs. Possibly 10-20% reduction in goals.

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        5 days, 14 hours ago

        Very precise, love it

  18. Regista_

    Raya
    Lewis, Gabriel, Konate
    Luis Diaz, ESR, Rogers, Palmer, Mbuemo
    Watkins, Haaland

    Fabianski, Konsa, Robinson, Joao Pedro.

    Got 1 FT.
    Joao Pedro -> DCL,
    what you think?

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Solid transfer

  19. Pepeye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    5 days, 14 hours ago

    Rodri absence will deffo have an effect. Foden is starting to get more game time after his food poisoning absence. They will go for Zubimendi in Jan and have already discussed Musiala. I think Pep wants to build a new side as KDB will be off this summer. City think they can get Rodri back for late April early May time but it would take hima while to bed back him. Rodri's absence would be felt less if they could get KDB fit and Ake and Oscar Bobb back. Savinho to play more going forward

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      5 days, 14 hours ago

      Interesting, I guess Pep will make something work in the meantime, Stones prehaps for the physicality

    Haaland being treated for an ankle knock against Newcastle Foden may start as a false number 9

    2. St Pauli Walnuts

      In CL against weak opposition, maybe. Think's he fine for next PL game.

    Palmer Mbuemo ESR Rogers Winks
    Haaland Havertz Watkins

    1. JT11fc

      Does this mean you have to start ESR every week...?

        I could play 4 at the back with Lewis and Aina

    Captain Palmer, Saka or Mbeumo?

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      Saka

      saka, he was the best player on the pitch against leicester he was so unlucky not to haul, forest will park 6 buses against chelsea

    3. Kaneyonero

      Yep thinking Saka, Forrest known for being defensive and Mbeumo only scores a goal in the 1st minute lol

      So let's talk about Spurs who are top of the attacking charts for expected goals despite not having had the best fixtures. Liverpool 2nd but have had a better fixture run.

      Spurs are 2nd in the defensive charts for expected goals conceded only behind Liverpool.

      Obviously spurs are cheaper assets than Arsenal and Liverpool and Romero has as a slightly better goal threat than Gabriel he nearly scored yesterday and has one goal already this season after netting 5 last season. Spurs about to go on a good long fixture run despite the odd game here and there.

      The 10 men yesterday doesn't squew the numbers too much as the stats before United were down to ten were just as good as after. Plus they were already right up there before you take yesterday's games into account.

      Which assets are you interested in owning

        Solanke or Maddison for me.

        Can see that Brighton game next week being a mad one with the high lines the two teams play.

        1. Pornchef
            5 days, 14 hours ago

            Johnson has a better goal threat than Madison and 1m cheaper

          Johnson + Porro. I have a clean move for them as well. Let's see.

          Never a fan of Spurs/Chelsea's defensive assets regardless of how good their numbers are. Upcoming fixtures aren't looking good for CSs either.

          They dont have any standouts in midfield. Solanke is worth considering but too expensive as a third forward. Might do Havertz to Solanke after couple of weeks.

          Kulu is too cheap to turn down. Solanke will do very well, will outscore Jackson just due to more minutes.

          wouldn't trust their defence at all whatever the underlying numbers say. way too open if they get the press wrong, which happens at least a few times a match

          1. Pornchef
              5 days, 14 hours ago

              Kulu could be a great option he's a different player in that central role a bit like McNeill for Everton out on the wings they're not as effective but both look like different players in the 10 role

            Porro + Kulu

          Happy to hold attack for coming GW and looking at defense.
          Konsa } Lewis?

          3ft
          0.2 it

          Raya
          Robinson, Konsa, Maz
          Palmer, Salah, Saka, Rogers, ESR
          Delap, Haaland

          Valdi, Feas, Geeves Jebbison

            Honestly you could probably hold again? Nobody is keeping clean sheets at that price point anyway.

        6. Emiliano Sala
          • 8 Years
          5 days, 14 hours ago

          Which one seems better?

          A) Konsa to lewis with 1 FT this gw
          B) Konsa to gvardiol with 2 FT next gw

          1. The Iceman
            • 2 Years
            5 days, 14 hours ago

            B

          2. David Parkinson
            • 2 Years
            5 days, 14 hours ago

            This could be the week Villa don't gift the opposition goals so go B.

        7. The Iceman
          • 2 Years
          5 days, 14 hours ago

          What would you do here chaps?

          A) Diaz + Jackson > Saka + Delap (-4)
          B) Diaz > Trossard / Martinelli
          C) Nothing - save FT

          Feel like I got quite lucky with Saka not hauling vs Leicester, not sure that will happen again...

          1. Regista_
            • 8 Years
            5 days, 13 hours ago

            I like B as a short term punt.
