    Alonso asked about Pedro and FPL in his post-match presser 😀

    https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/every-word-xabi-alonso-said-34813634

    "A lot of people knew he was out of the game before the match because of the Fantasy Premier League and a lot of families of Chelsea players had taken him out of the team, does that bother you?"

    "No I am not into the fantasy team thing so I didn't know that."

      In fairness he should be sacked for not updating FPL players. Who does that Alonso chap think he is?

    How am I going to explain to my son in a few years how I had three Chelsea players in GW8 of the 26/27 season and somehow ended up with 0 points?

      Don’t tell him, the shame will be hard to bear. Better off to tell lies and say you triple captained Jackson, that’s what I’m doing anyway.

    At this point, would you rather sell Wissa (EVE) for Jackson, or King (avl) for Manzambi

    1. GreennRed
      54 mins ago

      King

    2. jonnybhoy
      52 mins ago

      Wisaa

    3. have you seen cyan

      Wissa

    4. Rhodes your boat

      Wissa probably

  5. jonnybhoy

    Hi all. Whats to do? Got exact cash to do Wissa to Jackson before he rises in price tonight. Injury to J Pedro is pushing me to do it so I can bench him next week. 3FT 0.5m ITB.

    Raya
    Calafiori Konsa Muhremovic
    Mbuemo Palmer Rogers Gross Tavernier
    Haaland J Pedro

    4m Wissa De Cuyper Egan

    DCL > Jackson

    Yay or nay?

    1. have you seen cyan
      9 mins ago

      Yes

    2. Gandalf

      Pedro > Jackson may be the move if he's out for a while.

    Thoughts on Belloumi? I had him for a few weeks and he subbed on for me with a goal which was nice. But not sure about him.

    Think he was maybe a mistake and I should probably switch him out for Manzambi in the near future.

    Belloumi has done well, but he has very low XG, also, in the championship last season, I think he only scored 2 goals. So it seems like he is over-performing big time. He is also a big minutes risk.

    He is in my xi this week and will play for me against Ipswich next week. But if he blanks, he surely has to go. He is just bench player, but I still have FH and need reliable players, especially with December fixtures coming up.

    1. Gandalf

      An option, but better ones ahead of him.

    Pedro a sell if out until IB?

    1. have you seen cyan
      23 mins ago

      Hopefully, would make things more interesting.

      IB? Another one? I thought the recent extra long one was condensing two into one. Ah well…

      1. have you seen cyan
        4 mins ago

        There was 3 previously I think.

      2. pundit of punts

        IB after 2 GWs

    If you could make a dream front 8 with unlimited budget right now in fpl, who would be in that front 8?

    Usually it would be easy but there’s not much options atm

    1. have you seen cyan
      37 mins ago

      Hmm, not sure how affordable it is. But it would be this:

      Haaland - Isak - Jackson (Isak assuming Pedro is out for a while)

      Mbeumo - Manzambi - Rogers - Schade? - Gross?

      Not sure how long Schade and Gross will keep it up is my concern though. But at the moment, you would be insane to leave them out. At least u have rotation options.

    2. x.jim.x
      35 mins ago

      Mbeumo - Rogers - Cherki - Kroupi - Hinshelwood
      Haaland - Isak - Jackson

    Couldn’t have guessed this - midfield of Saka / Palmer / Rogers / Cherki - and total of zero from 4….!!

  11. FDMS All Starz

    Is there a chance Jackson plays Bouremouth, misses Fulham, plays Barca, plays Man U
    (He’s missing something, we just don’t know which one/two)

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 mins ago

      Yes but more likely to miss Bou imo

  12. Pedersen

    Is konsa going to keep his place or will it go now saliba is presumably back?

    1. FDMS All Starz
      23 mins ago

      Will go but Arsenal won’t rush Saliba back now

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      20 mins ago

      Saliba isn't back yet and will probably (certainly imo) be eased in. Konsa isn't a problem until he is. We will get a warning sign.

    Why is Calafiori flagged (reposted after originally on wrong thread)

  14. FPL Emu
    22 mins ago

    Ugh, this fixture congestion for Villa is offputting. Midweek EFL match away to Bournemouth, then Barcelona away three days after Fulham next GW.

    Should we be concerned with Jackson's (and Manzambi's minutes)?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      just now

      That's the issue. Jackson vs Fulham is still tempting. I fear that Pedro has issue with same knee and might be a sell now. My original plan was to sell Gvardiol to raise funds, but I think I will just jump on the Jackson train and ditch Pedro. O'reilly won't be starting any time soon, I believe.

  15. Gandalf

    I like the idea of doing Hall > Gabriel next GW. What to do?

    A. DCL > Jackson tonight (only 0 ITB for that transfer if don't do it tonight)

    B. Pedro > Jackson (sounds like could be out for a while)

    C. Wait for more news.

    Do Pedro ➡ Jackson now or wait for more news?

    Feel Pedro won’t be back before GW 11 reading thbuzz on twitter.

    Thoughts?

    1. Baps Hunter

      I think I will just do it. Avl has a lof games though, but Fulham is tempting.

    Apologies should understand this by now but I bought Garcia at 6.0 (6.1 now). He’s due to drop tonight, will my selling price drop or stay the same?

    1. Baps Hunter

      Stay at 6.0
