    Cuhna is on the up under a new manager and he had a tough start to the season and still scored well. It's not as clear cut as the article suggests to sell him.

    1. Atimis

      Tough one, I can easily play Hall over him now but in a longer run, won't the likes of Wood, Gakpo, Havertz outscore him?

      Yeh think I’m going to bench him. Squad is strong enough to stash away.
      He’ll be back fresh as a daisy.

      It's Cunha and you can always bench him. Be grateful the article gave you a conclusion. 🙂

        But was the conclusion reached too hastily in the rush to get the article out?

          Reach your own conclusion and prove the article wrong by keeping him.

            The article says many managers will be happy to sell him, which is a fact. I don't think I've reached any conclusions.

              It’ll be team dependent for a lot I expect. I’m in a position where I’d rather use my FT on Bruno > Gordon or an Arsenal MF.
              Or even Jackson > Watkins, a move I couldn’t make if I shipped Cunha this week.
              Lots to think about.

                Yeah absolutely. I've just been recording a video with Joe and he doesn't own Isak, so that's a relatively straightforward move. For others like yourself it might make more sense to bench then reassess.

                  Oh yeah. Cunha to Isak is a no brainer. But most will have Isak by now.

                  Imagine not owning Isak for the last 6 weeks ?

                    Aye. Very painful.

                    That's me but I brought Gordon in instead of Isak around the same time so it has hedged against Isak's hauls somewhat. But with more games to go, I'm really needing to reconsider thus. Have Wissa, Wood and Cunha in my front 3, think Wissa is the likely one to go

              Reading between the lines you are nudging people towards selling him. That's probably right, but it's worth thinking about some more.

    Rooney just been sacked at Plymouth, he should take over Man Utd now.
    They still will be as bad as they’re but at least under one of their own.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Give him the job until the end of the season. Can't do any worse.

    So, Fabian Shaer gets a 3 match ban in GW1 for pseudoheadbutting Brereton Diaz in response to him doing the same and there are a million other examples like this. Meanwhile, a dude gets a 2 match ban for elbowing a member of the opposing team's staff in the back of the head and ripping his glasses off. Okey-dokey the FA, we're moving on.

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years

      Don't forget about the Betancur's ridiculous thing

      Do you know the full story? What if something racist was said?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Why would you write a baseless accusation as this?

        In the context of the video, the guy he elbowed in the back of the head wasn't even looking/talking at Cunha.

        I agree, no idea why he's only gotten a 2 match suspension when vient conduct is usually three, under the following definiton - of what he did fits:

        "Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made."

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Additional guidance - Violent conduct:

          A player who is not challenging for the ball will be sent off if they:

          -use or attempt to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent, teammate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made

          -deliberately strike an opponent or any other person on the head or face with their hand or arm, unless the force used was negligible

          -make a clear forward movement with their head resulting in contact with the head or face of an opponent or any other person, unless the force used was negligible

          -clearly make forceful contact by holding or grabbing the throat/neck area, or gouges the eye of an opponent or any other person

          -make a clear action to pull the hair of an opponent or any other person with force

          1st, 2nd and potentially 4th point meet what he did. Lol.

        Another thing to consider is what if the footage is AI generated. If you look at the fingers, something ain't right.

    3. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years

      It should have been a minimum of a 3-match ban for violent conduct regardless of whatever defence was submitted by the player and/or his club. If he stuck an opponent on the back of his head that would be the punishment even if provoked. That ban should also have started by the week following the offence. There is no valid excuse for either the shorter than normal ban or the delay.

    Biggest xG over-performer to 2nd biggest xG over-performer, the flavor of the week. Of course it will work out. Season from hell chapter two.

    I can either play Leif Davis away at Fulham or get in Hall in for a hit hoping it pays off over the next few.

    Don’t like hits for defenders but this one is justified, no?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think that can wait until next GW, unless it's about price rises

      1. el polako

        Not chasing price changes, no need this season.

  7. ryacoo

    Just looking at the stats, why does Hall not have a chance created/key pass for his cross that set up Isak's goal last night?

    1. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Fantasy assist?

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        It wasn't though was it, just a plain old cross which was met by Isak

        Should have arguably been a big chance created too, doesn't matter in terms of his pts but just curious why it doesn't show up in the data

        1. Studs Up
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Opta didn't credit the assist, so I'd guess it is seen as an incomplete pass/cross.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Defection from defender made it tricky. The assist could disappear like bonus points the way this season has gone.

    3. mookie
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Maybe because of the small deflection on Mazraoui?

  8. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Opted to sell and catch Wood price rise last night.

    Don’t particularly fancy the fixtures he comes back for, and while Evanilson out was the alternative, figured may as well cash in on the max profit for now

  9. Dammit_182

    I think the learn here is to ‘play to the whistle’.

    1. Mighty Duck

      Rather 'bin any common sense and smile'.

    Cunha is an easy sell imo

    Fixtures after Forest:

    Newcastle (ranked 6th for xGA this season)
    Chelsea (8th)
    Arsenal (2nd)
    Villa (7th)
    Liverpool (1st)
    Bournemouth (5th)
    Fulham (4th)
    Everton (10th)

      • 16 Years

      Given 5 of those teams just conceded 2 goals, Cunha could still be fine with the new manager bounce.

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

        I would rather use season data than 1 game sample for each team

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Current form works wonders. Sort by December, Chelsea and Villa have more xGC than Man Utd.

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

      66th min sub against Leicester when only 1-0 up doesn't scream bring in Foden. KDB impacts his role and set pieces/BPS

      "On for Foden, who hasn't done anything on the wing. Pep took his seat before the change and there was no hug/handshake with Foden, who looks a little frustrated."

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      Haaland was.

    2. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Impossible to say season hold, but he certainly feels like a hold for the foreseeable future. If Haaland explodes, palmer could be a prime candidate to make way

    3. Rupert The Horse

          Agreed, Rogers is very important to Emery setup and ball progression

      D - having Isak when he’s on form forward right now

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

    I am keeping Cunha in. He is one of the most in form strikers in the league and I got him at his base price so I have a lot of value invested in him and I am not sure who at that price point will substitute him in my front three. I am also keeping Bruno for now, against the perceived wisdom. My two FTs for this week will be Amad to Elanga I think and then I am considering Jackson to:
    1) Watkins - I wonder how he will play with Rogers out though and also he has been very pee as patchy all season
    2) Havertz - Arsenal forwards will probably step up now Saka is out and to ensure they keep a place in the side and Arsenal’s fixtures are good
    3) Gakpo - in form, differential but minutes are an issue
    4) Keep Jackson and save the FT and hope he comes good

      Will the 2nd half curse strike again for Salah?

    I've owned Cunha since GW10 and he's a fantastic player & FPL asset.

    My decision to sell was based on (hopefully) capitalising from other strikers over the next 3-5 GW's. I'm also hoping he drops £0.1-£0.2m to help me buy back at the price I sold him for.

    Cunha will be 100% coming back into my squad GW 24 or 26 as 'set & forget' for the season (injuries permitting).

    Wissa or Wood will make way, and Cunha will compliment Isak.

    Is Salah, Diaz and Gakpo too much? Pool seem to be playing on another level. All can score in 30 minutes.

      Not the worst idea in the world.

      May as well let Arsenal play now or you could be selling Havertz.

      Yes, I'll wait until the games have been played.
      Wood is probably my top choice.
      Cheers guys
