FPLReactions It’s time for another team reveal as we approach Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).
Dan Wright – who you can find here on X – has five top 10k finishes, which means he ranks 17th in our Career Hall of Fame.
My Bench Boost returned a solid 19 points, despite Jan Paul van Hecke (£4.6m) missing the match against Sunderland through illness. Even so, the chip helped me climb to an overall rank of 50k.
How is Dalot's attacking threath now that Dorgu is playing during Afcon? Dorgu price is tempting for short term punt but he is a transfer out after Amad is back right? Started to looking for an attacking FB punt for good fixtures from next gw.
I need helping deciding
Which 1 from these 3 and what order as Wilson is a doubt so may be 2 from 3
1 Alderete
2 Guehi
3 Chalobah
???
Salah Goal but Egypt has a red card soon after the goal
I've just gone to make my moves and have noticed that Bruno dropped last night, he was nowhere near it according to FPL Live last night was he?
Thanks
A rise and a double drop
I was late in my transfers but surprised people waited until today tbh
Unless v busy etc
I could have done my transfer last night, but nobody was anywhere near rising or falling when I checked so thought I may as well wait to see if any news filtered through from the training pitched etc.
Yes, anybody would think it was Christmas Day…
Or Christmas eve
To avoid it
Yeah, that was a bit of a surprise drop. I'm on FH this week and hoped I could avoid another drop until tonight.
Well. I assume his data got a bit messed up after that delayed first drop earlier this GW that allowed some of the premium managers to adjust their teams with one extra day due to xmas shopping duties.
I have Thiaw and Bruno G. Should I just keep them now as their fixtures going to change after this GW?
100%
Yes
Don't over think it ...
Yes
Think I'm gonna chance Gordon. On pens and great fixtures next 6/7
great fixtures next what?
I like the Gordon pick
Team GTG guys?
Raya
O’Reilly Guehi Alderete
Saka Foden Cunha Gordon Rogers
Haaland Ekitike
Dubravka Chalobah Guiu De Cuyper
A - Bowen and Oreilly
B - Thiago and Virgil
Thank you
Bowen and O'reilly feels a lot better
Toss up, honestly
Need some advice leaning towards 2 right now
1. Virgil and Minteh
2. Neto and Andersen
Neto and Keane
Oh wait that's Elliot I assume?
Play 1:
A) Thiaw (Have Cunha)
B) Esteve
C) Josh King
Still have TC…. Use it on Haaland this week?
I used BB last week so missed the West Ham bandwagon
Is it wrong going Haaland(C) over Ekitike even tho I think Ekitike will outscore Haaland this GW? Haaland(C) is safe for my OR. Ekitike(C) is more a gamble that could hurt me.
This is the new way of playing, unfortunately. It was much easier to do before all of the analytic websites stating how much rank you've now lost.
" even tho I think Ekitike will outscore Haaland "
What's the point in playing FPL...
So true
I dont think its wrong. You might think something but think its very marginal and you know if you are wrong the damage is very bad. In that scenario (OR dependent) you'd be quite wreckless to take that risk
Trying to get a good OR and win my ML
"Trying to get a good OR and win my ML" but not backing the player you think scores the most points...
Tactics. Risk managment. I'm 60/40 in favour of Ekitike. But if I miss on Ekitike I could lose a lot. If I miss on Haaland I will not. Im 1.7k OR. Don't feel like gambling it away.
Bench 2
A) O'Reilly (nfo)
B) Wilson (wha)
C) Bruno G (mun)
D) Rogers (che)
E) Semenyo (bre)
Cheers!
C and D
B and C
Or D if Wilson is fit
Cheers all
Captain haaland, or a punt on Ekitike!
I'm sticking to Haaland
a) Wirtz, then play Minteh GW19, 20
b) Cunha, then Minteh > Soboz GW19
Think I like option A. Let's me build some FT to get the likes of Rogers when fixtures turn.
Thoughts appreciated
A
0.1 ITB + 2FTs
Raya (Dubs)
Timber - Alderete - Andersen (Guehi - Gudmundson)
Saka - Semenyo - Neto - Foden (Anderson)
Haaland - Thiago - Raul
Ekitike + Stach IN
Thiago + Neto OUT
GW19 Freehit
YAY / NAY??
I've done similar but did not want to take out Thiago, but have regrettably done so. I'd try to lose Raul for Etikite if possible
Which is best BB?
A) GW18
Pope (mun) / Dalot (NEW) / Anderson (mci) / Xhaka (LEE) -4
B) GW19
Pope (bur) / Alderete (MCI) / Xhaka (mci) / Dalot (WOL)
B
Start 1 of Enzo, Andersen or Senesi?
Definitely
I mean which one haha
Enzo
3ft 2.2ITB what changes would you make planning on BB this week too
Currently thinking
Saka, Wilson, Thiago > Cunha, Gordon, Bowen
Or
Saka, Wilson, Minteh > Foden, Cunha, Cherki
Dubravka
Timber, Senesi, Andersen
Saka, Semenyo, Rice, Wilson
Haaland, Thiago, Ekitike
Verbruggen, Guehi, Rodon, Minteh
Bowen and then two from Foden Cherki Gordon and Cunha
Who to TC captain? Team outlined below. Is Haaland the only option?
Raya, Henderson,
Guehi, O'Reily, Chalobah, Timber, Keane
Foden, Anderson, Wilson, Neto, Rice,
Haaland, Thiago, Ekitike
Have a feeling Eki will do well but H is safer.
Got to be Haaland.
I also have TC left and plan to use on Haaland… but this week or against Sunderland is the question
Leaning towards using it this week
H
Been forced into a 4-3-3 this week.
Bruno > Cunha or save FT?
Raya
Timber, O’Reilly, Senesi, Mukiele
Foden, Semenyo, Bruno G
Haaland, Ekitike, Thiago
(Dubravka, Lacroix, Wilson*, Bruno F*)
Play 2 for this week:
A) Thiago
B) Harry Wilson
C) Trossard
A and C
AB, unless you have a hunch about Trossard
Playing his former club at home
AC
1 FT and 2.5 in the bank
A) Play Wilson with Lacroix on the bench
B) Swap Wilson for Cunha (Would mean keeping Thiago next week or downgrading for Dcl)
C) Wilson for Gordon/Rice (Gives me enough cash to upgrade Thiago to Bowen next week if he disappoints
Leaning towards A) since I'd have more info
I currently have Wilson with a bench of…
Richards Esteve King
I have nothing ITB and 3 FTs. Do I…?
A - Wilson to ELF and start ELF
B - Richards to Dalot/VDB, start Wilson and have Dalot/VDB first sub
C - Roll and hope Wilson plays or if he doesn’t, one of Richards/Esteve/King do
Play Xhaka (LEE) or Miley (mun)?
FH team thoughts?
Raya
Calafiori-keane-tarkowski-vvd
Saka-wirtz-cherki-Foden
Haaland-Ekitike
Bowen is missing.
Thanks. You think he will haul this week?
Yeas..I do.
Ill take him over Wirtz then
My team is:
Pickford
VVD Keane Tarkowski Calafiori
Wirtz (c) Saka Foden
Haaland Ekitike Bowen
Dubravka Le Fee Miley Gudmundsson
On BB, transfer out Wilson or Minteh for Grav?
Wilson did not travel I believe?
Makes it easier thanks!
Sauce?
Reliable source?
Looking for confirmation on Wilson.
Any leaks regarding Pep's fat shaming selection process for the game tomorrow?
I would love to see Haaland coming back with 3 Kilos extra after finishing a Reijndeer and a beef Cherki in two days.
On WC do you prefer:
1) DCL, Minteh
2) Thiago, Wharton
This would be for the aim of bench boosting in 19 as well, so Wharton points are relevant for next week
FH without MC - A) are you mad B) a bit of differential C) ok but add someone
Pickford
Calafiori VVD Timber
Saka Cunha Wirtz Palmer
Etitke Bowen Thiago
Thanks
Yeah I'd want Haaland. Take all the differentials you want with the other 14 picks
It might work.
However, not going for Haaland captain is probably enough of a differential.
join me on frimpong cap
