    Timber out for Gabriel or TAA,? Got Raya on goal.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Why not just bench?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Bad luck if you've got Roges too.

        An option yes, playing Munoz (CHE) if so with Jackson Palmer in the team as well 😛

          Doesnt seem like Timber is the problem, but your bench

            Nah mate, 27 pts this week on the bench 😆

      Sold yesterday on a wildcard to accommodate Isak for Neco Williams. Feel good now about the decision. If you can get Trent do it

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year

      I wouldn't bench Bruno.

      1. C_G
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        I wouldnt either but trust my gut on this one.

        1. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year

          Follow your instinct by all means

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Benching Bruno over Hall is a big call!

    3. Els365
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Spurs will definitely score. Bruno in for Hall

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Spurs will score indeed.

    Lots of people got double arsenal defence, i got double pool. Happy they concede.
    Other than that arsenal had 0.29 xgc..really low..unlucky

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Yup. Their defensive stats are still exceptional.

  4. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    25 points on bench but scrapped a green arrow. Absolute relief

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      nice , got 27 on bench but fpl gods smiled for a change with 93 pts

  5. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Which is better?

    Double Arsenal defence.

    Double Arsenal attack.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I've goy double Arse defence and double Liv attack

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      1 plus 1

    3. The Tonberry
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Defence. But probably wouldn't double on either defence or attack right now

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Over the last six gameweeks minutes per xG conceded is 230 minutes.

        That's double the next best team. Their defence is absolutely insane.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          And yet they have conceded. I think people will sell off at least one Arsenal defensive asset in the coming GWs

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            I've never seen an xGC in the 200s before. Newcastle who have just kept 4 clean sheets on the bounce are less than half this.

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 4 months ago

              *Minutes per xGC

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years

      No clear talisman in Arsenal attack

      1. C_G
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Jesus surely?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Blanked against Ipswich...

          1. C_G
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            didnt blank today...

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 4 months ago

              Haha yeah clear talisman when looking at his returns across the season...

              1. C_G
                • 10 Years
                1 year, 4 months ago

                I would conclude for that price Jesus is "clearly" worth it and people wouldnt hesitate to have him in their team

        2. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Don't call me Shirley.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Lots of value from a good team that will score lots of goals, though.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Sure but I think it's more likely to be spread around

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            That's what she said.

    5. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Easily defence

    6. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Brighton will score so thats another blank coming

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        You may well be right. They always seem to find a way under their young manager.

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Its a season for 4.x defenders the cleanies are too random. Munoz, Robinson, Hall, Forest. Even Ait Nouri is effectively an 8th forward. Its the goal threat that is keeping the Trents and the Arsenal boys just ahead of these guys but is it by enough points?

          1. Sir Michael Taker
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            Regarding the ARS defensive numbers, their XGC is 16.3 and they've conceded 17 so yes they've had games like tonight where its 0.29 xgc and the Leicester game they had 0.32 and conceded twice, but they aren't conceding loads more than expected overall so somewhere in there and I can't be arsed to find it but its in there they've had a game or two they should have conceded more than they did.

              1 year, 4 months ago

              Likes of Bruno, Mbeumo, Cunha and "old" Son can score great shots with low xG against any team. Had Mbeumo failed with that shot people would be talking about triple def.

  6. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1 year, 4 months ago

    Preferred option here folks???

    A- Martinelli and Raul(first sub most
    Weeks in a 3-5-2)
    Or
    B- Jesus and Rogers(can switch between 3-4-3 and 3-5-2)

    Cheers everyone!!

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

    I think tonight’s result will accelerate the sale of Arsenal defensive assets. I think Mookie posted over the last couple of days that the top 10k are now selling Arsenal defensive assets en masse as they are the most sold assets by people in that OR range. I think what is happening is most people have two and they’re keeping one and selling the other. They were ahead of the curve and independently all arrived at the same conclusion, showing why they’re elite players (although yet to be proven right).

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Statistically Arsenal have the best defence in the league by a country mile.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Not sure I agree. You’re using expected goals conceded in minutes as your measure of this. I don’t care what was statistically likely to happen, I care about what actually happened and Liverpool and Nottingham have the most clean sheets at the moment. They have the best defence then according to that indicator. Additionally, if we look at other teams who have cheaper defenders, Everton and Newcastle have the same number of clean sheets so price per clean sheet is better value. Nottingham defenders are also cheaper than Arsenal ones. Depends what indicator you want to use to prove your point.

      2. MVDP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 4 months ago

        That’s not true.

      3. MVDP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Arsenal have the second highest errors leading to a chance behind Soton. Amazingly none have been converted…. But it does show they aren’t as rock solid as we might think.

    2. The Tonberry
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      The emergence of a number of good 4.5-5.0 defenders coupled with Arsenal's fixture run against strong attacking teams means that it would be a good jumping off point

    3. mookie
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Yeah, that was the elite 1000(historically the best 1000 managers according to FPL Review).

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Yeah that was it, thanks! Thanks as well for the posts - there have been a few of them like this and they are appreciated

    4. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Or those planning ahead for a Pool double GW are getting on TAA or Virgil now and it makes sense to sell an expensive Arsenal defender if you have 2.

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      They wont stay top 10k with that approach

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        This is will be the litmus test and time will prove if they are right or not

    6. Salarrivederci

      Wrote this last week.

      This run of fixtures for Arsenal is tough, and it is not screaming 'CS'.
      I was happy enough to own Timber as my only player from Arsenal, but might sell him for N. Williams to have 1.5 ITB for AssistantManager chip in 25-27.

      Especially Hall and Robinson looks better to own over the next handfull of GWs. They're cheaper. They look to be nailed on. They have better fixtures. And they get attacking returns.

      If most have or move to a defender like TAA, then TAA-Robinson-Hall could be set and forget for the next 5 GWs tbh.

      Can't afford TAA so I'll swap between Kerkez, N.Williams and Coady 😀

    7. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      There's plenty of good cheap defenders. I like Gabriel for his goal threat, but the only Arsenal defence I have had for a long time is Raya and it hasn't hurt me. Currently on this:

      Raya
      Hall - Munoz - Robinson - Aina - Quansah

      Will get TAA next week for Quansah. But that will leave me with a non-stop benching headache.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Nice one, mine will be TAA Munoz Hall Milenkovic Mykolenko

      2. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        There's a couple of things about the XGC which makes it less useful for FPL purposes. So Arsenal are expected strictly using XGC to concede 9 goals ish every 10 games which is broadly the same as Liverpool by the way so they aren't miles clear on the measure, Everton as a comparison would be expected to concede 13 in that time, Ipswich 21 in that time. But in FPL for defenders ignoring any attacking returns it is very binary, you either clean and get rewarded or you don't and you get penalised. So in that 10 game hypothetical sample Arsenal might concede less than everyone else but still not keep as many cleans and that is all that matters in FPL really, I don't care how little you concede.

    8. Magic Zico

      Timber > TAA done 😛 keep one yes

      Good one

  8. The Tonberry
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA Gabriel Robinson Aina
    Salah Palmer Martinelli
    Isak Jackson Wissa

    Fab* Amad Timber* Rogers* (2FT)

    Better to roll the transfer or use this as an opportunity to downgrade Timber to Hall or Munoz and have an extra bench option?

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Timber to Hall , Wissa to Jesus

    2. Els365
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      You can roll. You will need the transfer as the season progresses. Your first 11 is great to go

  9. The Mighty Whites

    1FT, 1.0 ITB, thoughts:

    2. Malkmus

      They won’t. He’s their biggest asset. Exactly same thing happened at sporting

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      In two years. Just enough windows for him to also add to the randomness of that haphazard squad.

  11. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Gakpo or Luis Dias more secure?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Diaz. Can play left or through the middle.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

      Tough , both in good form.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Please pick a Forest defensive asset for me to transfer in for free:

    1) Sels (Would replace Fabianski or, more likely, Sanchez)
    2) Aina (Would become part of my rotation of Hall, Kerkez for the third D slot each week)
    3) Milenkovic (Same info as above for Aina)

    Order of preference, and why ?

    1) Gordon
    2) Diaz
    3) Boomo

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

        Because thats the why ?

      2. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Interesting. Boomo highest pps, Diaz rotation risk, Gordon consistent not really explosive...

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Gordon for now. Diaz for the double. Mbeumo for Diaz after the double.

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        You reckon Diaz starts going forward ?

      2. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years

        Boomo has sou next...

  17. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years

    Rage minus 8 loading....

    Bowen, Cunha, Odegaard to Isak, Mbuemo & Iwobi.

    Yes or no??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Iwobi is interesting choice, Sarr instead?

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Already got Eze.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Rogers? I know he's suspended but long term.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

      Relax , you need Isac pronto but other moves not great

  18. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Keep the forward line up? GTG?

    Raya
    TAA Hall Lewis
    Salah Palmer Diaz Martinelli
    Isak Jackson Pedro

    Fab Amad Munoz Myko

      Free transfers?

        1ft

        May do a -4 and number 2

        1. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Not worth a hit on my opinion. 3 looks reasonable, as Newcastle should do well against Spurs, but you could also roll and reassess next week.

    Flekken
    TAA Gabriel Robinson Porro
    Palmer Fernandes Salah Enzo
    Isak Pedro

    Valdimarsson Rogers Cunha Greaves

    1FT, 3.1itb

    I’m lost here, bit in the bank, but unsure where it needs to go, any suggestions please??

    Thanks

      Flekken needs to go

    2. BrockLanders

      Maybe just Bruno to Mbuemo or Cunha to Wood

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Sorry, Bruno should be Gordon (did that move last week)

        I was considering Wood, but in for Pedro and ride out Cunha ban?!

    Was arsenal 2nd goal a legit assist for Jesus? Didn't see the game but BBC had it as a "goalmouth scramble ended in Merino etc..." wouldn't normally care but might be what costs me a mini league monthly bit of cash :-/

      Rebound, I guess it will stand. Tough luck

    Finally a certain Brentford goalkeeper has flekked off my team after 17 gameweeks in my team. 2 hauls from him missed through late concession and injury. Best decision ever. Haaland you are next

    It’s always .1 isn’t it… just short of Timber to Trent by a splinter

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Had the same problem earlier, was forced to spend a second transfer to bring Trent in.

      I so nearly did it on Sunday, but thought it was too risky, and now it's the same for me.

    Cunha to Wood or Jesus?

    Robinson, Milenko, Trent,
    Palmer, Salah, Diaz, Sarr,

      Yea good to go unless you fancy Pedro to Wood.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Think Pedro does Arsenal

  26. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Great week considering just 10 players this week (bloody Muric).

    But Odegaard an issue, best replacement?

    Other mids are Salah, Palmer, Mbeumo & Sarr.

    Thanks

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Gordon

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Thinking of going back to Bruno, expect United to bounce back after events today

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Not a great entry point this GW.

    Current front 8 of
    Salah, Palmer, Diaz, Murphy, Bowen*
    Isak, Jesus, Jackson

    Who to bring in for Bowen?
    A) Gordon (move Murphy to Rogers later on)
    B) Eze/Sarr
    C) Mbeumo

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years

      Gordon looking good, want him myself

  28. JT11fc

    How did Martinelli look today?

  29. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Is Timber & Cunha -> TAA & Jesus/Raul worth a -4?

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    GTG?

    Sels
    Hall Robinson TAA

      As long as no rotation, it's fine.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years

        Yeah, fingers crossed

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Feels like there's been less rotation that normal this Xmas. Hope that doesn't even out at the weekend.
