How in-form Diogo Jota compares with other Fantasy options

Diogo Jota‘s (£5.9m) hat-trick against Leicester City on Saturday has predictably led to a flurry of activity in Fantasy Premier League, with the “out of position” midfielder having been snapped up by over 60,000 managers at the time of writing.

Jota has five goals and two assists in his last five Premier League starts and with Wolverhampton Wanderers sitting top of our Season Ticker for the next six Gameweeks, there will be keen interest in the Portugal under-21 star going into their home match against West Ham United next Wednesday.

Jota’s upturn in form has coincided with a small tweak in Nuno Espirito Santo’s formation, with the 3-4-3 of Gameweeks 1-14 giving way to a 3-4-1-2 since then.

As a result, Jota is playing in a more central role alongside Raul Jimenez (£6.5m), rather than in the wide-left position he occupied in the first three months of the campaign.

We will, therefore, analyse Jota’s data from Gameweek 15 onwards, with that being the point the strike partnership with Jimenez was born.

It should be pointed out, of course, that we are dealing with a relatively small sample size after this point, given that Jota was injured from Gameweeks 18-21. Nevertheless, a cursory study of the two data sets seems appropriate given the demand he suddenly finds himself in among the Fantasy community.

As well as analysing any improvements in Jota’s game, we will look at how he compares with Jimenez as a Fantasy asset and if his appeal is favourable to other mid-price FPL midfielders.

    Having A REALLY bad season. Currently ranked at over 450K. Worst rank in 7 years.
    I've had 4 GWs ranked at over 4 million.

    Bad moves: I decided before the season started to try and hold my WC until the second international break for a change instead of my customary GW3 WC (This was pending any disasters).
    In doing so I was too busy putting out small fires that I missed the early bandwagons of Wilson, Fraser, Brooks, Alonso, Mane, Doherty and Moura.

    I went with a 4.5/4.0 keeper option (Begovic/Boruc) - didn't work. Bournemouth's fixtures were amazing but it was their attack that needed investment.

    Heavy hitters: Whether it was a lack of patience, listening to too many differing opinions (FFS, Podcasts, Twitter) or chasing points - I have had heavy hitters at the wrong time all season...

    Alonso:
    Owned GWs 5-8 = 4ppg
    Not-owned GWs 1-4&9-23 = 5.77ppg

    Salah:
    Owned GWs 1-7&9-15 = 6.2ppg
    Not-owned GWs 8&16-23 = 10ppg

    Hazard:
    Owned GWs 8-14&20-23 = 4.2ppg
    Not-owned GWs 1-7&15-19 = 8.66ppg

    Sane:
    Owned GWs 16-20 = 3.2ppg
    Not-owned GWs 1-15&21-23 6.94ppg

    Sterling:
    Owned GWs 15-19 = 3ppg
    Not-owned GWs 1-18&20-23 8.19ppg

    Pogba (Solskjaer era):
    Owned GWs 21-23 = 5.33ppg
    Not-owned GWs 18-20 = 15.33ppg

    Salah is now in my team so expect him to blank this week.

    Questions:
    How bad has your season been?
    What bad choices have you made?
    How valuable/handicapping are FF resources? (My best season - 595 OR - was when I was abroad the entire year)

    Can't wait for next season...

      I'm having a similarly sh*tty season and can't see a way of making real headway from around where you are now.

      Yes, the chips will help but everyone will play them at a similar time. Finding good differentials is tough. Might just have to ride the season out, lick wounds and put it down to experience.

      You must be a very good player if your complaining about being in the top 10%. Im just in the top 10% and im over the moon about it. Last season i finished outside top 5 million due to injuries and i missed 3 weeks when i broke both my thumbs so couldnt do transfers and ended up on minus points.

        A lot on here aim for top 100k/top 10k.

        Well done though, sounds like you’ve done much much better than your previous season!

        Now time to aim for top 100k!

        Couldn't you use your fingers?

        1. Jealous Viper

          Or tell someone to help with transfers? 😉

        Lol sorry about your injury, but that wouldn't stop me playing. Jab those keys with your pinky finger if you have to!

        How did you break both thumbs?

      Had an excellent start to the season but the worst December possible and now gonna struggle to try win my mini leagues

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years

        +1
        Sane+Sterling fiasco 😀

        1. Atom&Humber
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Exact same here. Can only laugh at this point

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nice statistical grouping analysis

    5. Tev
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I genuinely think this year is just a tough year. 6 million + players (most ever?), people far more informed about FPL, and loads of template picks performing consistently making it very difficult to break the mould and succeed

    6. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Ranked about 62k now. Dropped from 10k about 10 weeks ago. Took a hit to bring in alli and niasse for anderson and Mitrovic so i expect another red arrow.

      Goal now is to try arrest the slide. Keep myself in the top 100k and then try use chips to finish as highly as possible. Took a lot of risks with my first WC and they didn't really pay off. Probably should have just stuck with the template. Lack of Salah for 4 or 5 weeks has dealt with me strongly.

      3rd season playing. First i didn't know much about anything so finished 170k which i actually think wasn't too bad considering i spent the first few weeks outside the top 3 million and was laughed at friends in my ML who had more experience. Second season, finished 12k

      This is the first season I've really interacted with FFS. I feel this forum is tremendously helpful but you have to be careful filtering out the wheat from the chaff. Have had a lot of good advice here that has helped. Also have had the opposite

    7. Simmoo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If you're really that disgruntled with your rank, then your best way of making big moves up would be to pick weeks where Salah is likely to be captained by 80%+ of active players and try to identify a player who will outscore him and captain them instead.

    8. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      My worst move this season was:

      Doherty
      Owned GW1-3: Points: 1 -1 2
      Sold before GW4: Points after that: 6 12 2 12 15

      Did an analysis of last season and knew he was an attacking full-back with lots of end product - but after those first three GW's I thought he couldn't cut in the PL.

      1. Planet Head
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        His underlying stats were good those weeks though if I remember. Didn't help scoring that own goal

    9. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sorry to hear about your bad season. I’m the opposite - having my best season. Been in the top 10k every week except one. One week I made it into top 1k. Currently OR 4k. Don’t give up.

    10. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Also a poor season compared to previous seasons, ranked currently around 280k I think.
      Like you, I've had a knack for owning the premium assets at the wrong time, started the season with Salah, who was doing, just okay, swapped him to Hazard in GW6 or so, and then Salah form picked up, whilst Hazard dipped.
      I've also never had the luxury of carrying over a FT, constantly having to fight fires with injuries or suspensions, which has prevented me doing certain moves without a hit, which I try to avoid.

    11. fenixri
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sane, Sterling on WC before Salah hatty was my biggest mistake (had Salah from gw1). It cost me from 500 OR to 14k OR in the time I got Salah back. Problem is everyone have Salah now and that gap will be hard to close. Betting on Hazard now but that could hurt me also.

      One mistake will cost you a lot in top 10k

    12. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Best season I've ever had...

      Had Salah from the off and had a few lucky punts. No one in my mini had Salah for time and I have spent months of waiting for him to start destroying...

    13. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Worst decision was setting up a squad for gwk1 😀

        Currently around 250k or so with both wildcards used. Ain't pretty I tell ya. Oh well.

      • Pluge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        My season is going amazingly, 198 OR.
        Bad choices I've made would be relatively poor captain choices throughout the whole season, and starting with De Gea and keeping him for much too long. I also brought in Delph for the game he got sent off.
        Definitely find FF resources very valuable, I changed job and I usually have FFS open several times during the day when it's quiet brushing up on my knowledge, seems to be paying off.

        1. good biashara
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Marvellous OR.
          Now what's the plan? Are you going to be relatively conservative to secure a similar final ranking, or will you start taking calculated risks to take a shot at getting to the very top? That must be tempting...

          1. Pluge
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I will take calculated risks to try get to the top for sure. Every so often, little by little, much too early for anything drastic.

      • shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not too bad really had Salah from the start. Opening GW score of 767k and after a dip back I steadily moved up then really shot up on GW8 when I had a 190k GW rank and moved to 305k OR.

        Since I've continued to ascend to 150k, into top 100k, then had a real touch GW12 with a 21k GW rank and into 76k OR. I've more or less stayed in that bracket ever since briefly hitting 30k in GW20 although the last three weeks have been in the lower/mid 50k's.

        As an aside, I didn't use my wildcard until the last week, and then only for general house keeping. I've also not taken a hit for two seasons now! Since the DGW's in 2016/17 run in!

        Hi mate,

        Sorry to hear it’s not going well.

        I had a bad one last year but this year improved massively (I’m c. 8000kth)

        The main factors for this improvement were:

        I have only taken one hit and tried to carry transfers as much as I can

        I haven’t tinkered with my team in frustration i.e. If a player has good form / stats and fixtures…leave him be even if he’s had a mare last game.

        I have tried to not make changes when a.) drunk b.) emotional / angry!

        I got lucky with the cheap players like Doherty and wan bissaka

        I went with players who were not going to be rotated and focused on building my initial team around ket players from teams who I thought would do well (spurs, Liverpool and city). As soon as mendy was injured I got in sane.

        I paid so much attention to what games teams had during the week i.e. champions league and other fictures. Teams who had them I would be less likely to captain from them due to fatigue and / or rotation risk

        I had a stick and play keeper (ederson) that worked really well and had salah since the start

        I focused on stats and stats and more stats. Positioning on pitch / shots and touches in the box

        I never picked a player for a one off game but only for a run / groups of good fixtures

        Captaincy - went with the masses

        I watched MOTD as much as I could. Body language of the player individually as a whole is very telling. E.g. wolves from the start – you could see they were well up for it

        1. mattg
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Just shows you have to know what you are doing to get ahead! (Having said that, there's probably 5,000 teams who've not made a transfer at all and are ahead of me)...
          Iv'e taken a very different strategy /tactical way. I'm aiming for top 100K this year and currently 57K, best ever for me.
          I have taken a total of 12 hits (10x-4, 1x-8), and they have all paid me back that week or the next. I have done so mainly to husband my squad value (currently 107.2M ! ). This should enhance the value of my wildcard/freehit in the coming weeks.

          Done so by getting rid of players likely to go down and getting in players likely to go up (and must be playing well to do so!) eg. Getting rid of Sterling, Richarlison and Fraser in GW 18/19 and getting in Sane, Pogba and Son has netted me well over 1M and a hatful of points. Same for Bennett, Auba, Kamara > Digne ,Firmino, Rashford wk 20/21.
          I finally increased value so I could afford Salah, who I got in last week, captained and got a green arrow. Whew!
          Still a lot of rounds to go. Top 10k was next years target...........

      • Vobinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I had a great start by my standards - 35k after GW7, then consolidated up and down a few weeks ending GW12 on 90k and then it all unravelled!

        Dropped to 375k by GW16, 525k by GW18, been up and down ever since and now sat at 257k

        Two 50/50 choices I went the wrong route was Alli instead of Son on WC and Zaha instead of Townsend. I'd have been 90 points better off and around the 25k mark!

        Such tight calls define seasons!

      Auba C this week is tempting

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yes for sure.
        Having Salah & not captaining him with his current FPL form looks bit risky though 😮
        Having said that it's boring to Cap same player 3rd gw in a row.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah. Looking for a differential

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Ha ha
            See below Post.
            Same

      2. fr3d
        • 6 Years

        Hasn’t shown form to justify it

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          He seems to score in bursts

      3. Elite FPL
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'm tempted. Gonna watch him against united on Friday closely.

      4. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Very much so

      5. Planet Head
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Currently has my armband and I'm determined to keep him all season because he's bound to be in the season dream team / top scoring striker. Just needs a bit of backbone to stick through the mini droughts

      6. fenixri
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I am captaining him, have Salah too

      7. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Just capt Salah. Auba is differential enough

    15. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hello guys,
      If your main rival in ML has Salah & gonna Captain him for sure.
      And you have Auba+Salah this is the perfect gw to take a risk & Cap Auba right ??
      I want to gain some ground after poor December.

      Thank you for advice !!

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        How far behind are you? Seems a bit soon to be taking 'risks'

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Is it a risk though

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            What do you think ??

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            It’s a risk due to Salah’s v high ownership. I captained Aubah over Salah gameweek 22 and lost a 1,000 places overall won’t be risking again but topping most my mini leagues so don’t need to.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years

          35.
          Actually was 100 points ahead & then came December Sane+Sterling disaster for his Salah+Fando of all people 😀

          So a bit pissed off

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Have overtaken ML leader who was 50pts ahead 8 weeks ago by mostly captaining Salah. Now 50pts ahead of him and he's dropped to 5th in ML. Moral of story C Salah make ground elsewhere

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah.
          Play safe. Cheers mate 🙂

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Ahead of Salah right ??
          I have a sneaky feeling he will thrash Cardiff being an ultimate flat track bully 😀

      4. Party time
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Throw two set of bones in the air for your dog. The one she picks should be your captain

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I don't have a dog 😀
            Will you do it for me ??
            I'd Captain the one you suggest bro 😉

            1. Party time
                5 years, 2 months ago

                No worries buddy. I am doing it myself 1minute before the deadline . I will put a picture of Auba and Salah at the bottom of the bones. Whoever she catches will be my captain

                Will you be online then?

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years

                  It's dangerous game 😀
                  Can't you do it a day before deadline. 😛

                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      Hehehe. No way buddy.If I do it a day or hours before, I will get confused again and I will change it. It is something I do very well and so far so good. I like to anticipate who she picks a minute before 🙂

                I'm having the same predicament. Auba has blanked the last couple of game weeks while having a lot of big chances. He is bound to explode soon and I think this could be the Gw. You have to weigh up the risk vs reward. If Auba bangs and Salah blanks, you'll be a very happy man. But it Salah does better than Auba, at least you own Salah.

                I tried this last week by going Pogba instead of Salah

                Despite the result I still think it’s a good tactic if you’re chasing

                That said I’ll be going Salah and not Auba or anyone else this week!

                  Likewise, fingers burnt on Aggy last week going for the differential. More ground lost. Safe Salah this week, cue Auba hatter.

                Currently planning to captain Auba but will wait and see what his form's like in the cup before deciding for sure. Pogba might even be a better bet, it's stressful to put the armband on someone so cheap (if Pogba was like 10m then it would be easier) but when it pays off, it pays off. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't pay off, and if you lose then you're still in the same position: behind

                This is the best Auba fixture until the end of season. I have Salah and I am captaining PEA

              Which one would you rather have for the next 5:

              A) Auba
              B) Sterling

                Sterling blanks in week 27 but may have a double before. Tricky to answer right now.

                  When is a double not a double? With City’s squad they could put out two totally different teams if they wanted. Guessing game as to who gets 2 starts.

                  2 is some upgrade + Nice differential to have him & 1/2 FPL player's Captain in your team.

                  What's wrong with Holebas? Doesn't he have more attacking returns than any other defender?

                    Not been impressed. Difficult fixtures coming and the main reason is I need some upgrades in defence tbh I think.

                    This.

                    Holebas seems like the kind of player you should just keep for the season if you have him.

                    Also agree that B looks great.

                  I've absolutely loved owning Holebas this season, I feel like he is a real and somewhat safe differential at the higher ranks

                Has Higuain already been added to FPL? How many plan to get him in?

                If he's priced less than 10, it may be worth bringing him in and moving Hazard out.

                              Ibra. World class. Came to the league and people suggested he was over the hill and looking for a retirement package.

                              So called fat higauin. Proven striker in several leagues. Leaving a piss poor Milan team

                              Higuain who i suppose is not one of the greatest strikers of the past decade?
                              Did you just selectively decide not to watch Madrid and Napoli at some points

                            Oh man! With Hazard and Willian supplying you with assists and Alonso and Azpi bursting forward to aid the attack, anything is possible under Sarri ball. I do not expect him to be a big hit but he could be. I am saying do not conclude yet buddy

                            Yeah I'm sure that Higuain, who has played and scored against some of the best defenders in the World and survived playing in the Argentinian league as a teenager will be unable to cope with playing in the predominantly mild London winter against the likes of Steve Cook or Adrian Mariappa.

                            PL is so painfully overrated as 'the' standard setter.

                              EPL defending is more "agricultural"

                      I'd def punt on him if they have a double

                      Higuain is not top world class striker, but he doesnt miss chances. With Hazard supply he could be golden fpl asset imo

                        He has 6 goals from 56 shots this season. That's a joke

                          Milan is a joke.

                        He absolutely is a world class striker. The last six months don't reflect his true quality, as Milan isn't a great environment for top players these days. He didn't have the same quality around him at Milan as he had in Juve, Napoli or Real. For the few years before Milan he was great at Juve and Napoli. He has become one of the most underrated players in the world. Probably because is somewhat of a meme player these days and people tend to fall easily for that sort of cliched stuff.

                          It's like people all of a sudden have just forgotten he was class. Even if his level has dropped off a bit, he is still a top 6 striker in the epl easily

                      Less mobile than Morata.

                      Plus much better value among forwards at the moment.

                      This is one of those transfers that could absolutely go either way. If pushed, I would err towards it going poorly. He has lost a third of his goal output every season since 2015-16. Over 30 years old, new league, declining form, it seems a big risk to me.

                      Theres an excellent stats based podcast discussion of him here, I urge you to listen:

                        One guy wanted a chip where you get to pick one game a season in which you get all the points from any player involved in that match, including subs. Most were just things that (in my opinion) would reduce the skill level, such as retrospective captaincy changes, no captain at all (!) and being able to swap players from your bench in retrospectively. Please just leave the game as it is!

                            I am not happy with the assist rules. Fraser last weekend was the fourth time I am hurt by the assist rules. Sincerely, I do not know when an assist is an assist in fpl. I just wait and observe what they do with that.

                              The rules are pretty clear, unfortunately there's just always going to be a degree of subjectivity when they make the decision. I don't think there's much they can do, I much prefer this system to no assists at all for dubious things

                              The rules are the rules though & it's the same for everyone - you'll feel like you're unlucky, but just won't notice it happening every week with players you don't own.

                              The balance of the game is great & it's why everyone plays it.

                              Handing out more points won't make you any better, it will jus mean everyone had more points.

                            Having no captain at all would actually increase skill levels.

                            Captaincy is a huge luck factor and you can get a red/green arrow just by a lucky/unlucky captain

                              I actually agree with this.

                              Picking a captain each week is a complete lottery compared to the skill of evolving a squad of 15 over the course of the season.

                              I understand that argument, but don't agree fully. Captaincy is not just a factor when choosing your team week to week, but when deciding your team structure as a whole. Without captaincy, there's one less factor to consider in terms of bringing in big hitters- teams would be a lot more balanced. Beyond this, I actually do think there's a lot of skill behind captaincy choice, or at least no less so than the rest of the game. This is coming from a regular captain failure and general FPL flop!

                                I agree it's a factor, just not as skill based as picking the overall team in my opinion.

                                Over the course of say a five week period, stats & data will probably prove a good player to be a good player, but anything can happen in a single week that could directly effect a captaincy choice with no indicators pointing towards that.

                                It's all relative.

                                Oh there is a bit of skill, but its far more luck based. There is a reason people just tend to go with the herd and play it safe, because it basically nullifies the captaincy and they rely on their team to get the rest of the points.

                                I dont think id take the captaincy away from the game as its a tool for catching people and big point swings, but id potentially make it 1.5x the points instead of the 2x we have now - just to give less bearing on the luck factor

                                  More this.

                                  I like Captaincy; but maybe reduce the damage from x2 to x1.5 as you say.

                                  Maybe the other way is to make the VC an important decision i.e. Captaincy x2 and Vice Captaincy x1.5. Neither one can be in the same team/position or something.

                                  Two bites of the cherry if you get it right, but if you have a 50% success rate it's not catastrophic. Selecting two in eleven rather than one is more skill than luck as well.

                                  In response to the original post - it is a game. I think we should applaud those who want to see it grow, succeed and develop

                              But it's not all about who you pick as captain each GW. It's about how you manage your squad over a number of GWs by factoring in captaincy. For example, I am more likely to take a hit if it involves a potential captaincy option because it's a bit powerplay and you can come out a long way ahead. It encourages more transfers and makes the game more strategic, otherwise everyone would have really balanced squads and never take any hokey-cokey risks.

                              For me, targeting captains is a big part of my strategy. It doesn't always work of course, but I like covering the most popular captain picks as often as possible. It's another consideration, and the more things people have to think about the more challenging and skilful the game is.

                                Yeh you bring in the most popular captaincy choice out of fear mostly - thus nullifying it and essentially replicating a game without a captain 😛

                        One rule I don’t like is the assist that gives points to a player for being fouled for a free kick or penalty that is scored.
                        But if the player who scores was the one fouled then they don’t get their own ‘assist’, doesn’t make sense

                          I think you should get a nominal 2 points for winning a pen, whether it's converted or not

                            But if a player is penalised for diving by the ref that’s a -2 plus -1 for the yellow card
                            Seems reasonable!

                            That's how the 2018 world cup fantasy game worked...

                          It does make sense if you simply have a rule that states that you cannot assist yourself.

                          Would you say the same if a player knocked a 20 yard ball past a defender & then he ran around said defender, collected his own pass & went on to score?

                            5 years, 2 months ago

                            To me that situation doesn’t involve a pass, it’s just keeping possession of the ball!

                            1. Left Wingers Utd
                              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                              Being fouled doesn't involve a pass either.

                              1. Longlatini

                                5 years, 2 months ago

                                Exactly, so why do players get an assist for being fouled?!
                                It should be one or the other, either you get an assist for being fouled or you don’t, who takes the resulting set piece shouldn’t matter.

                              5 years, 2 months ago

                              Maybe the player who passed to the player who is fouled should get the assist, then?

                              1. Longlatini

                                5 years, 2 months ago

                                And the player who passed the ball to the player who passed the ball to the player who got fouled gets half an assist 😉

                        I would like to see the bench become more of a factor, just as it is in real football. At the moment the bench is only there for injuries, rotations etc, but I think the game would be more interesting and skill-based if somehow your bench could contribute to each gameweek score.

                        For example, your whole bench scores half points (rounded up to nearest 1 point), or your highest-scoring bench player replaces your lowest-scoring starting player (not including a player who didn't feature at all). In football a manager turns to the bench to change a game, and I don't like that in FPL it's just injury cover.

                        When managers (like me) have Digne on the bench for his 17-point haul, it feels a bit unfair. You had a benching headache, it was a 50-50 call, and you got nothing at all for having a strong player in your #1 bench spot.

                        I feel like it would lead to more balanced squads, less fodder, more strategic thinking and squad management, etc.

                            Haha. I've moved on, just. But I do think it would make the game more interesting.

                        2. The 5% Team

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          I like this option as well, better than the automatic subs at the end of the GW

                          In the Dutch Fantasy game I'm playing we have this as well

                          The system is how it is. I don't want to be a dick but why on earth do you have Digne if you're gonna bench him vs Burnley. It's just poor managing from your side and not a reason to change the game.
                          Personally, I use my bench for what it's made for, to cover up unforeseeable circumstances such as last minute injuries with very low budget players. Button - Bennett - WB and Guendouzi.
                          And no way in hell I'd play WB over Digne vs Burnley.

                            We know how the bench system works, and plan accordingly.
                            If they change it, it will benefit the casual players.
                            Anyone else notice any new players to FPL always have an amazing bench.

                            My friend who's playing for the first time this season started with this team.

                            Pickford - Fabianski
                            Azpilicueta - Alonso - Bellerin - VVD - Doherty (only playing three)
                            Moura - Mane - Neves - Gudmunson - Townsend
                            Vardy - Arnie - Mitrovic

                        In the head to head leagues, it's a bit boring because draws are so rare. I think they should make it a draw if your scores are within say 10 points of each other.

                      What is the current situation concerning a double gw 25? What needs to happen and which teams would be involved?

                      1. Legomané
                        • Has Moderation Rights
                        • 6 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Nothing confirmed but if DGW25's were to be scheduled :

                        MCI : ARS eve
                        EVE : WOL mci

                        If Chelsea are finalists
                        CHE : HUD BHA
                        BHA : WAT che

                        If Spurs are finalists
                        TOT : NEW bur
                        BUR : SOU TOT

                        Also possible that one set of finalists are scheduled for GW25 and the other not. MCI/TOT have available midweek slots GW26+29/30 (respectively). If Chelsea progress in all competitions (FA Cup + Europa) there are no other free midweek slots to end of season. This would need to be manufactured somehow. FA Cup 4th round replays could also factor (scheduled for midweek GW25)

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          There must be a deadline for a decision on whether or not a DGW25 could happen, fans needs to make real life transport arrangements etc

                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      It may just be the cynic in me talking - but I strongly suspect Pep/City will be urging the PL to reschedule the Everton match to GW25...why?...because it gives them an opportunity to further close the gap to Liverpool (1pt) as early as possible and heap up pressure on the reds..

                      1. Jealous Viper
                        • 5 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Yeah I think it's the cynic in you

                        1. Legomané
                          • Has Moderation Rights
                          • 6 Years
                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          You don't think Pep considers every possible angle? I'd imagine if an FPL like myself has had the epiphany, Pep's more than likely already considered it from all aspects 🙂

                        • 9 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Would agree with this - would have also thought Everton wouldn't mind getting it out of the way as well. I guess the logistics of it is the main thing.

                        1. Fantasy Gold
                          • 9 Years
                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          Only a few days until GW25.

                          Doubt it’s going to be scheduled for that GW given the quick turnaround

                              Yes, and not far off GW25 either

                        Well he has already suggested that week in an interview. We need no fa cup relays, I’m looking at you Everton.

                        Agreed. That's why Pep specifically mentioned that GW.

                      Draft trade:
                      a) Fabianski
                      b) Patricio
                      Been rotating keepers all season with Fab, Dubravka (and Heaton, Rico are in the waivers)

                      Even if Chelsea and City have a DGW25 I personally don’t think it’s necessary to load up on them.

                      Following the DGW they will face each other in GW26 and then have a blank in GW27. So you probably will be getting them for hits and then even selling for hits a week later.

                      With City rotation will also be a big problem as then they will have 4 PL matches in 11-12 days.

                        Disclaimer:
                        I already own Hazard so it’s easy for me to say this. If you don’t own and he has a DGW (HUD, BHA) then you’ll probably want him.

                        I agree

                        only have Sane and no plans to get more

                        staying away from Chelsea. Attack looks awful and the only defender providing value is Luiz

                          Yup even I’m considering only a City attacker as I want one long term.

                        I'm going to guess 10.5m

                        9m I reckon. So similar to Bobby, Vardy

                          107 goals for RM, 71 for Napoli, 40 for Juventus, 6 (in 15 games) for Milan is junk, hmmm...

                            Yeah last season and a half junk. 1 goal for every 10 shots this season.

                              you have problem with those who take too many shots (Higuain) and you have problem with those who dont shoot (Richarlison) or maybe you just like to pick numbers which suits your thoughts... 😉

                                What are you talking about? Rich is the same. Loads of shots low conversion rate. Similar problem

                                Rich problem is lack of shots on target like I keep posting. He's one of the biggest shot takers out there

                              His 2017/2018 season wasn't junk though. Probably haven't seen a single game of his so not surprising you are spreading false info.

                        10m or 10.5m

                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Probably will be 10-10.5m Anymore than 9m is a ripoff

                          9.5 - 10.5 sounds about right to me.

                          9.5 I was right

                        Thought on lamela 6.1, with spurs injury / International problems

                        1. Neevesy

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          Punty but could pay-off. Lamela is always a bit inconsistent. Could either blank it get a couple of goals. Go with your gut.

                          for that money would prefer Jota

                          Wouldn't touch Spurs right now.

                        • 5 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Really can't stop thinking about Haz + Jimenez > Jota + Aubameflop for a hit.

                        Is this a good move?

                          Haz next 2 fixtures are better than Auba and which could also include a DGW.

                          Jimènez to Jota is a sideways move.

                            Yeah but Haz is MIA at the mo

                          not really Haz has a possible dgw in week 25

                        I made a mistake last week not selling the long-time resident of Goals Imminent Mitrovic to Firmino with my second FT. He's been on that table so long he's practically squatting!

                        Would you do it this week, or go straight to Auba who I want in for GW27(c). The City fixture is the pain GW25, where as Firmino has West Ham that week..?

                          Probably Auba. He's a player that can be a differential when Salah has an unfavorable fixture. You can possibly make up ground with a captain differential.

                            My thought too. I need to preserve my FT's too as I will likely have no keeper in GW27 (double BHA)!

                              i "think"sane will play in the league

                              who would transfer alli for ?

                                propably kneejerking with Jota and saving the money for Son

                                1. Kiwivillan
                                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                                  • 9 Years
                                  5 years, 2 months ago

                                  Jota isn't knee jerk. He had 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 games before hat trick. Injured 4 weeks in between those 4 games

                                  1. aarrgghh
                                    • 7 Years

                                    So you would take a hit for him

                                  go for it

                          Selling Sane is insane. Don't fall for the Sane Mendy myth

                        Is it confirmed that some teams will have a DGW in GW25?

                        If so, which ones?

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          Not confirmed at all. Weekend cup games need to happen before even a chance and seems to based a lot on Pep comment

                          they need to wait for this weekend in case of FA cup replays

                          City, Everton, (one of ) Spurs/Chelsea still in FA cup

                            5 years, 2 months ago

                            Spurs Chelsea is league cup semi final

                        Would you buy Jota even if you had Patricio and Jimenez? I'm not too keen on a Wolves triple up tbh.

                        1. Kiwivillan

                          Yes. I have Pat Doherty and Jiminez and want to get rid of Pat so can get Jota

                          1. Robson-Canoe
                            • 8 Years

                            But it's still only Wolves - despite their good fixtures they are more than capable of losing any game and they've had a bunch of bad results against the easier teams this season (0-2 vs lei, 0-2 vs WAT, 0-1 vs bha, 0-2 vs HUD, 1-2 vs car, 1-1 vs ful, 0-2 vs CRY).

                        2. Ajax Hamsterdam

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          definitely not for me double wolves attack is too much imo

                            Have you seen their fixtures?

                        Bench one out of Kolasinac, Doherty and Alonso?

                        Actually benching Alonso atm but it feels wrong!

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          Alonso more likely CS than Doherty

                          Sell Alonso if you’re not going to start him against Bournemouth

                          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                            • 9 Years
                            5 years, 2 months ago

                            this

                        3. Ajax Hamsterdam
                          • 9 Years
                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          has to be doherty

                        4. Kiwivillan

                          5 years, 2 months ago

                          Maybe Alonso will score instead of hitting the post AGAIN!!
