Technical Area – The Rise of Ben Davies

It’s been quite a start to the season for Ben Davies. Currently leading all defenders in terms of points with 49 – a number which trails only Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku at any position – the Welshman’s form is inarguable.

In the six matches in which he has featured (Davies was rested for Spurs’ home encounter with Swansea in Gameweek 5), he has returned an average of 8.2 points per match (ppm) – more than a point clear of his closest rival (Antonio Valencia’s 6.7).

Last season, Davies performed admirably while deputising for the injured Danny Rose – racking up a goal and three assists, in addition to his share of Spurs’ league-leading clean sheet total. However, his attacking returns this campaign (two goals, three assists) have already exceeded last season’s totals in just 30% of the minutes.

In order to better interpret this attacking leap, we’ll be breaking down Davies’ early-season heroics, and looking for players who might serve as good benchmarks for projecting the Welshman’s performance over the remainder of the campaign.

    Anyone dislike Sterling as an FPL option? Everytime I've gotten before, he goes out of form and disappears.

      I know how you feel, always thought he was overrated but look at the heatmaps

      1. eoan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah I'll probably get him in anyways, the fool that I am.

      Love him, he's served me well since SAS days 😉

      Yes I had him for a few GWs last season and he did nothing. Also, he's annoying to watch.

      As a player he is overrated but will get u points IMO

      Terrible player, no idea how he gets in city's team but i have him on my wc currently!

        He's a good albeit inconsistent and frustrating player (being good but inconsistent probably bumps you down to decent), but as I've said in the past being assisted by KDB and Silva surely means he does well despite his admittedly debatable individual quality

      To me it seems that every year he has a period (normally early on, up to October or November) where he looks really good, and then goes on to disappear. Didn't he score a hat-trick or something two seasons ago, only to not score another goal (or something like that)? I feel like this conversation took place last year as well.

      1. eoan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah in 2015-16 and went on a goalless stretch but I suppose he wasn't performing as well as he is this year. Last year, he performed similar to this year and went without either playing or getting goals/assists from GW 7 to 15. Frustrating player.

      in footballing terms and in regard to what seems to be consensus is that Sterling is a lesser gifted player than the rest of his team-mates. I´m not the one to go into debate about it and i don´t like him much, displeasing from an aestethic point of view (in footballing terms) but what people seems to forget that he does contribute to the City team as a unit because he has qualities that combines well with the other. He runs down the channels, he is constantly running into the box, both as a target and also to obstruct defenders from Jesus or Kun. He runs alot, which means he is tracking down players, gives energy to the play, both offensively and defense-wise, he is also underrated when it comes to the tacticial part of the game, if you look at how he defendshe is quite good at it, aside from Firmino and some other he is one of the better attacking minded players in the defense department, which is crucial to the way Guardiola likes to play. This may sounds like an apology for Sterling, but is isn´t.

        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        in other words, City would have been totally numb if all eleven consist of K.de Bruyne kind of players, as good as he is he needs someone to run into channels, open up and dragging defenders around etc.

        1. eoan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          I'm sure he works well tactically for City, I'm just saying that every time I get him into my team he goes out of form and loses his starting position. This post was just me saying he was an annoying player in my experience with him.

    The U 17 FIFA WORLD CUP in my country(India) starts tonight We are not good at football at all(World Ranking 96) and are the weakest team in the tournament by far! Hope this is the start of something for Indian Football

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 8 Years

      Going to support?

      I'll go for India vs USA today. Hope the young lads put on a good show

    2. Urchin

      U sure we are ranked in top 100?

      But yeah, great news, first ever FIFA appearance for us, Go India!

  3. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Morning lads,

    What would you do here? Looking for a fresh set of ideas...

    Elliot
    Bavies, Cedric, Naughton
    Alli, Silva, Phillips, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Jesus

    Foster, RLC, Mbemba, Long
    Bank 0.9m, 2FT, 1WC

    1. WVA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      WC imo, can't have Phillips and Carroll starting!

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Luk and philips to vardy and Coutinho/Mane
      May be carroll to March or Shaqiri (after this week)

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I would WC, too much dross. Foster, Phillips, RLC, Carroll, Mbemba, Long, Naughton and even Cedric

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Would want a -4 there given your rank or just WC.
      Defence looks ok this week but long term, no.

    5. aleksios
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Def Philips out.No need to wc, solid team.

    6. I Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      WC isn't far away but I wouldn't use it now while you have 2 FT. One week punt involving a Chelsea player looks good to me.

    7. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Thanks all - current plan was to WC in GW12 as Naughton & Carroll have decent fixtures for 3 of the next 4. One of these moves this week....

      A) Foster & Phillips -> Forster & Redmond/Choupo/Shaq

      B) Foster & Lukaku -> Sterling & Morata (if fit)

      C) Foster & Lukaku -> Cout & Vardy

    8. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I definitely wouldn't wildcard this week. Mbemba or Long to Meet/Ward and play 4-3-3

  4. aleksios
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Hi all.Glad to share your opinions here please.
    3 top heavy upfront and 4 heavy back makes the mid line weak.
    As i see though,Alonso,Davies, Kola and 3 front are season keepers.
    What would you change here?

    --Elliot
    --Alonso--Davies--Kola--Jones
    --Silva--Richie--Gross
    --Kane--Luk--Jesus
    ///Foster///Suttner///Chalobah///King

    1.0itb. Wc used.
    a) Downgrade Kola and Suttner and bring in Coutinho/Salah for Richie.
    b) upgrade Suttner to Otamendi and leave mid as it is.

    Thanks guys.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I would downgrade Alonso before Kola.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        This, Alonso to 5m def would also mean you can keep the formation if getting in coutinho/salah

  5. Duffy Dunk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Which midfielder up to 5.7?
    Choupo, Gross, someone else?

    1. aleksios
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Not many options.Also Doucoure after 2 gwks.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I don't know tbh mate. None of them seem that reliable, need longer to see if Choupo isn't just a flash in the pan. Gross plays for a side poor going forwards, Brady plays in a sider that doesn't score much but has set pieces. I've got Brady and think I'll just hold for now, although he could be on his last legs in my side shortly. Most promising atm seems to be Choupo but not sure the returns will keep coming

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Just remembered, didn't Mkhi play a though ball to Kaku who messed up the initial pass only to score the rebound? Technically should be 2 blanks in the last 4, I think I'll hold Mkhi for now.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      vs Stoke

    2. aleksios
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      If i had Miky i would def ditch him.Simply not worth it imo.Lots of better choices.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        I own Silva so it's only Sterling I would consider. Just not sure that swapping United's playmaker for Sterling is the right thing to do, especially for a hit.

      2. waldo666
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        8.5 for the equal third top scoring mid in the game, I'd say that's well worth it.

    3. waldo666
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      You're memory serves you correctly

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Cheers Waldo, just taking everything into account re Mkhi

        1. waldo666
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah and rightly so mate, I'm certainly keeping for the time being.

    4. Freddo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I think I'm also keeping him for two more, can't justify a hit to remove him when he's ticking along, as you say, that Stoke game makes his numbers look worse than they are.

      There's a bit of KDB about it in the sense that loads sold him because he didn't do more than others then he produced, patience worked on that one.

  7. MFPL
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Any suggestions for this team? I am considering to WC due to the fixture changes (in particular to get Chelsea and Man City players, and to remove Man U players).

    De Gea (Elliot)
    Dawson Naughton Lascalles (Lowe Long)
    Salah Silva Brady Atsu (Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku Lacazette
    1FT 1.3ITB

    WC team would be:
    Ryan (Elliot)
    Alonso Azpi Stones Simpson (Ward)
    Salah Silva Choupo-Moting (Carroll RLC)
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    1. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Not sure about Alonso Azpi double up for WC

      I would downgrade Alonso and improve Simpson plus keep spare cash to bring back Lukaku when Man U fixtures improve

  8. SUPER MOKH
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Elliot (Foster)
    Alonso-Bavies-Jones-Mee (Hunemeier)
    Coutinho-Ritchie-Dilva (Doucoure, Tarrol)
    Kane-Kaku-Vardy

    Start Mee(ARS) or Doucoure(WHU)?

    1. aleksios
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Doucou

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Mee v WHU?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Mee, has WHU btw

    3. SUPER MOKH
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Yeah got it wrong, supposed to be Mee(WHU) and Doucoure(ARS)

  9. Ghost Gooner
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    I'm holding as well. Got so pissed off with that rebound goal 😡

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Reply fail to Klopp 😕

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Got your message Ghost Gooner. Same mate, if he blanks vs Hudds and us then I'll move him on I think

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          I'm keeping for that Hudds game too then see if Mou starts resting him

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Sounds like the smart play imo, can't risk taking out a player prematurely that highly owned who will be difficult to get back in

        2. waldo666
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          I reckon that's a good way to go

  10. germanyozil10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    hey guys how's this looking on WC?

    Courtois (Elliot)

    Otamendi Davies Luiz Cedric (Mbemba)

    Eriksen Sterling Choupo (Carroll, RLC)

    Jesus Kane Vardy

    A: Courtois, Cedric (Great Fixture this 4 weeks, will change Cedric to Mee week 12)
    B: Pope, Kolasinac
    C: Courtois, Gros (343, only Carroll back up)

    Thanks all!

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Pope and Cedric?

      1. germanyozil10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Good idea!
        Free 1.0 upgrade Eriksen to Hazard look tasty!

  11. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    What to do with this good looking bunch of men?

    Hart
    Davies / Cedric / Naughton / Mee
    Salah / Mkhi / Ritchie
    Kane / Lukaku / Morata

    Elliot / Mooy / Carroll / Long

    2ft, .5itb

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Morata to Jesus if injured

      1. waldo666
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        This and maybe look to downgrade Mooy if you're not going to play him, too expensive for the bench imo

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Cedric Naughton Mooy Ritchie have to go soon.

      Monitor Mooy as he looks close to a drop

    3. akashan99
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      No city is a worry. Maybe Lukaku to Jesus or Mhki to Silva/Sterling

  12. WVA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    G2G?

    Pope
    Alonso Kolasinac Otamendi Trippier Jones
    Salah Stirling
    Kane(c) Jesus(vc) Vardy
    Elliot Fellani Carroll Carrick

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Wc team? Trippier isn't nailed, other than that unorthodox but gtg

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yes wildcard, Trippier is nailed! Gone Coutinho over Salah which has allowed me to upgrade Carrick and leave a united slot available, let's hope Cout ain't injured!

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      You will struggle to get Luka I think

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        This, it's why I'm not a fan of such teams, flexibility.

        1. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Plus 3 Man Utds already in team

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Oh yeah, didn't spot that, could easily be a problem is a United 8-8.5m mid does well and or Kaku fires

          2. Red Card Rockets
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Yeah with three, that's something to consider if you think "clown hair" (as my wife calls him) is good low-priced mid. Even I was considering, but need to think about that.

            1. WVA
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 27 days ago

              Cheers guys, Trippier is nailed imo and i have the flexibility to to Stirling > Pedro/Pogba or Jesus > Morata/Lukaku with a small downgrade to Alonso or Kolasinac.

              1. waldo666
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 27 days ago

                Pogba and Lukaku can't be done in those moves mate as you already have 3 United

              2. Phil Dagger ⭐
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 27 days ago

                Jones + Carrick + Fellaini. Get rid of Carrick and Fellaini

              3. Demel
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 27 days ago

                Trippier definitely isn't nailed. Aurier came straight in against West Ham when available.

                I am looking to lose him. I would advise that you do as well.

    3. MagicMessi
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      you have to play 5-2-3 everyweek but otherwise g2g

  13. Red Card Rockets
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Martial playing for France over the break?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Not selected

  14. Gruu
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    What should I do with this lot? No City/Chelsea & 3 x 4.5 mid frustrating me. Already did WC on gw3.

    Foster
    Bavies | Jones | Cedric | Naughton
    Eriksen |AKing | Salah
    Kane | Lukaku | Lacazete

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      You are in trouble if you are starting Andy King (regardless of fixtures).

      King > 6m midfielder of your choice looks like the play.

      1. Gruu
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Max 5.8m mid. Plan to upgrade AKing next gw to CMouting.

        For this week, what would you choose?
        A. Lukaku > Jesus
        B. Laca > Jesus

    2. Bergkampgoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      You have 3 options imo, none of them involve removing Lacazette or Lukaku as you have more pressing issues.

      1. King -> Choupo Moting.
      2. Mbemba -> 5.3 def
      3. Eriksen/Salah & Mbemba -> City mid + Chelsea def (-4).

  15. Harper_

    Anyone on WC dropping Salah for Couts?

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I am not on wildcard. I don't think I would pick either.

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Interesting, both are two of the best midfielders but is it because of their next two fixtures?

        1. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          This. And also the spread of goals. Any of the 4 could easily score. You would need 2 goals a game to obtain an assist or goal a match. Couple this with the fixtures and I think that there are better options.

    2. Freddo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Tempted to drop him for Hazard but not sure yet.

      Bit sideways to swap him for Coutinho.

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        It's sideways but surely its fine as its on wildcard

        1. Freddo
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Ah, sorry, didn't see that bit, yes, for sure, well worth doing then.

    Davies | Mee | Cedric | Luiz
    Eriksen |Steing | Fellaini
    Kane | Lukaku | Jesus

    0.2 ITB

    Considering Cedric to Jones?

    1. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I'd do Ederson to Pope/Fabs and Fellaini to Choupo/Richarlison

      1. Straya
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Drop MC cover though?

    2. Freddo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Erderson to Courtois
      Luiz to Otemendi
      Mee to Jones (if possible)

      Gives you Spurs, United, Chelsea and City defence with Southampton.

      Otemendi probably has more threat than Luiz.

        This mqkes sense.

      2. Straya
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Like your thinking but .3 short unfortunately

        1. Freddo
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Eriksen to Coutinho? (You have Kane) might be a way to release funds.

          1. Straya
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Nice one FPLFREDDIE. Could possibly have it settled now. Leaves .4 itb

    Didn’t know that Lukaku has an ankle issue.
    Think to keep him until there’s more news about his condition, right?

    He’s a beast and I hope will be play against Liverpool.

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      will ** play

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      of course keep and wait

    3. Freddo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Would explain why he hasn't looked great in the last few weeks.

    4. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Keep and wait.

  18. Freddo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Early Jesus transferers, one game down, one to go although it seems doubtful that he'll be played in that.

    1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      and why do you think he wont play?

      1. Freddo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        They are 10 points clear and qualified, last time they had two games like this, the manager changed it up for the second game.

  19. FlockofSeagulls

    Seagull knows but no one ever listens because Seagull big plonker. 😆

      Which injury are you referring to?

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Didn't say he'll get injured fisherman. 🙂

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          You're a confusing plonker

          1. FlockofSeagulls
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            You can do better than that.

            Or can you? 😆

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 27 days ago

              Plonker is your word not mine. I like seagulls.

              1. FlockofSeagulls
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 27 days ago

                What kind of sick human being "likes" seagulls?!

                You disgust me! 😉

    2. Freddo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Seagulls are horrible creatures, they just fly around making lots of noise and crap on people's heads.

      Pick a nicer animal, like a flock of kittens 🙂

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Kittens are dumb like humans.

        Youtube told me so. 🙂

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      injured?

      1. Freddo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        YouTube 🙂

        He's not injured, it was some concerns he expressed during the week.

      2. FlockofSeagulls
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        No. But the mere mention that injury or rest could be a real risk for early adopters given the potential of 2x90min internationals to come, seemed a crazy suggestion to some.

        Just amusing to see some breathing a sigh of relief after the first 90mins is completed. 🙂

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Right. Well that's nothing new on this site. I learned the international break lesson years ago.

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            I believe rvp in for -4 then out for -4 with a broken ankle was the exact moment 😐

            1. FlockofSeagulls
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 27 days ago

              Plonker move? 😆

        2. Freddo
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          A sigh of relief and .2 better off, will take that.

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Yeah it's a considered gamble I guess. One I don't take when there's mid week games or international break. My TV pays the price.

          2. Freddo
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            An ideal week coming up will be.

            Firmino starts instead of Jesus
            Aguero drops again before deadline
            Jesus rises again before deadline
            .4 swing avoided

            Successful calculated risk & International Break.

    Hey DZ!
    What do you think of this WC attempt (didn't get any feedback yesterday!)

    Eliot / Gomes
    Azpi XXXXX Cedric Suttner Long
    Hazard Sterling Silva XXXX L Cook
    Kane Lukaku Joselu

    gaps can be A) P Jones / Choupo or Shaq B) Bavies Fellani

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I question your defensive balance.
      Defenders are scoring well and 3 mil cheaper than mid and forward equivalents.
      With XXXX twice and weak bench I would be concerned.
      maybe why no response is how much money for filling the slots?

      1. bigbudgie
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        It's 10.8 for the two slots.
        A) Jones/Choupo or B) Ben Davies and Fellaini

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Then B.
          I would ask if you get Bavies Sterling Fellaini Kaku rotation though

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Risky WC team imo

      A looks better for your team

      How is this WC team looking? 😉

      Fabianski, Nordfeldt
      Cedric, Yoshida, Davies, Fernandez, Mariappa
      Eriksen, Sanchez, Chupo, Brady, Atsu
      Kane, Jesus, Joselu

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        I would use my wildcard to change that team. Disgusting.

        Joselu...seriously
        Sanchez.......wtf
        Chupo/Brady/Atsu......... You fool!
        Double Saints defence..... *vomit emoji

          Thats my current team and had been doing well, so... I know its bad but I prefer to trust my players and motivate them 😉

        2. Lazaretti
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Fellaini to Kante you need Chelsea cover.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Don't be silly! Not attacking enough.

            1. Lazaretti
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 27 days ago

              Hmm. Then give change for Ashley Young used to cross when playing in Villa or crossed at least once

              1. Eze Really?
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 27 days ago

                I was thinking of getting Pope for Newcatle/Burnley rotation. It might limit me money wise for future TFR's though!

        3. Nigawan
          • 8 Years

          is this for real? LOL. i guess you can survive relegation at least. hahaha

            I know there are a few weaknesses, that is why I am asking for advice. Must be a good side because all have high ownership!

                Nah. gametime concerns. Thinking of a punt on Mbemba.

                1. Nigawan
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 27 days ago

                  Hmm. is either him or felleini. toss a coin bro. is gonna be a close call. but im leaning towards felleini

                      HAHAHA. Ex everton too bro. Look at his price bro, 4.9mil with 2 goals without even trying. imagine him against liverpool sucky defends. HAHAHAHAH

      3. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        I can understand people keeping Davies. But on wildcard? Did Danny Rose retire or something? It's so obviously a transfer waiting to happen and Spurs' upcoming fixtures aren't that special anyway.

        I wouldn't be having any Spurs defender on wildcard, least of all Davies. Seems to me to be a fundamental misunderstanding of what a wildcard is for. 😕

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Agree about the fixtures but can get away for an ft 3 weeks down the line.

        2. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          True that, will drop him on WC, will probably drop 10 of those players when I WC 😀

        3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Rose can do one. Bavies is an easy transfer out but another performance against Bournemouth and he'll be over 6milly

        4. Nigawan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Rose will need to earn his place back i guess. Davies is safe now atm IMO. not many better option out there with that price.

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 27 days ago

            Pochettino rotates fullbacks.

            Rotation is the inconvenient truth that dare not be named on FFS. Until it bites people in the ass, at which time they will claim to have been "trolled".

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 27 days ago

              I thought the same which is why I never got Walker at 5.5 last season. But to be fair, up until towards the end of last season, his first choice full backs were pretty nailed.

            2. Nigawan
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 27 days ago

              Is rose even training for the first team now? can easily swap him out when he underperform . he looks like scoring everytime he joins the attack. is like alonso but 5.9

              1. Ruth_NZ
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 27 days ago

                Yes, they are targeting the RM game for Rose. Davies will be OK for a few weeks no doubt. But on wildcard I'd be looking further than a few weeks.

        5. Get up ya bum
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          He's the best defender in the game. I'll sell when Rose steps onto the pitch. Until then he's eternally "nearing return"

      4. Nigawan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        wow. not very impressive.. if you have a WC (get front 3 of vardy/lukaku - kane and jesus. Arsenal fixtures not looking very. dont need to get sanchez ATM. i guess you need silva/sane/sterling instead. pick only chupo/brady and go for a 4.5mid. for defence i think you dont need cedric on yoshida? LOL. get azpili or otamendi.

      I'm drawn to Moses, not just because I own Jesus which is kind of cute, but I think the manager likes him.

      No idea why Azpi has outscored him so much as he's used like Alonso really. What do you think?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

        Sorry my boss was around. HAHAHA. really moses ? hmm. i guess zapacosta rotation worries me though and with that price i rather go for david luiz

    4. Live Lad
      • 9 Years

      Kaku + Morata to Kane + Jesus (-4)?

    B is better, right?

    Thanks.

      Sterling over Silva when both nailed.

    Walker being picked over Davies for England is an absolute joke.

    Any advice on how to fill up my WC team?

    Currently sitting on 4.9m in the bank with the following team:

    Fabianski - Elliot
    Davies - Ward - Simpson - Mbemba - Rosenior
    Coutinho - D. Silva - ChoupoMoting - GroS - Fellaini
    Kane - Jesus - Lukaku

    1. Franktomet
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Kane Jesus VARDY, not lukaku

      Defence is struggling.

      1. Franktomet
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yes, but that can easily be fixed with my 4.9m itb, just unsure whether to use alot and go for alonso or otsmendi, or focus more on budget def and upgrade choupo or gross

          You could easily be 2 defenders down and rotation could get Davies benched.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        An understatement considering points per million.

    De bruyne thrives in absence of aguero. A good option to watch out.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Simple case of being better value than Jesus/Laca/Haz?

    Thoughts on bringing fabergas in?

    1. Eze Really?

      It is wheter Conte does!

    2. Farke in hell

      Hold on for another 1 or 2 gameweeks. Then decide which chelsea asset to bring in.

      I’d be tempted if I was on my Wildcard as a bit of a punt but realistically as it stands there are better options for cheaper.

    RMT:

    Fabianski - Elliot
    Davies - Yoshida - Ward - Simpson - Mbemba
    Coutinho - D.Silva - Sterling - Willian - Fellaini
    Kane - Jesus - Vardy

    0.2 ITB

      WC activated btw

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

      Won't get much love from The Shed End ref. Willian, surely better options. Game time hardly assured either.

      I wouldn't get Cout. until he starts smiling again and stops looking like he's sucking a camels rectum.

      Would monitor Mbemba before pulling the trigger on him too.

      7/10

    anything you guys would change on this WC team?

    would love to upgrade Salah to Hazard but would have to sacrifice defence. 3 Man City players in attack a risk I know but could also pay off big time - would downgrade one to Richarlison in a few game weeks when Kun back.

    Elliot Pereira

    Jones Davies Luiz Cedric (Ward)

    Salah Sane Sterling (Carroll, RLC)

    Jesus Kane Vardy

      Solid. I like it

  30. GoonerByron
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Thoughts on what to do here? Would ideally be getting Firmino out and Jesus in.. Would need a downgrade and hit elsewhere though..

    Elliot - Foster
    Jones - Davies - Naughton - Lowe - Mbemba
    Eriksen - Mkhi - Ramsey - Richarlison - Carrol
    Kane - Lacazette - Firmino

    1FT, 1.4 ITB

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years

      The only real downgrade could be Mikhi but would you want 6 mil mid plus Jesus instead of what you have?

      1. GoonerByron
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Other option is to downgrade Ramsey -> a 6.4 or less... Shaqiri/Chupo?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah but your mids will stifle future changes.

    2. Lazaretti
      • 7 Years

      Downgrade Mkhi to get into midprice-midfield-minefield and get Jesus in.
