Scout Notes

Encouraging signs for Jiménez despite blank against Newcastle

It was a largely anti-climactic end to Gameweek 26 as the host of popular Wolves options failed to deliver.

However, there was still enough from the newly-promoted side to suggest they can continue to secure positive results on this appealing run of fixtures they find themselves on.

We’ve assessed their key players’ performances against Newcastle in this latest Scout Notes article.

Wolves 1-1 Newcastle United

Goals: Willy Boly (£4.6m) | Isaac Hayden (£4.3m)

Assists: Adama Traoré (£5.1m) | Fabian Schär (£4.6m)

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) may have blanked for the first time since Gameweek 22, but he was as busy as ever in front of goal against Newcastle on Monday night. No player at Molineux matched his six shots in the penalty box, and neither did any other option in the whole of Gameweek 26. Jiménez sits top of that statistic for the entire division this weekend, level there with Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m). Unfortunately for his 32% ownership, just one of those was on target but he continues to offer the potential for assists as only Joao Moutinho (£5.3m) created more chances than him at Molineux. All of that does bode well for future Jiménez attacking returns, as Wolves continue on an appealing run of fixtures. Up next is a trip to Bournemouth before Huddersfield (away) and Cardiff (home) in Gameweeks 28 and 29 respectively.

Once again, Jiménez outperformed his colleague Diogo Jota (£6.0m) from a statistical point of view and justifying his loftier price tag in comparison. The Portuguese FPL midfielder was substituted in the 68th minute after receiving a yellow card for a coming together with Fabian Schär (£4.6m). That meant just one point in Gameweek 26 for Jota, although the appealing nature of Wolves’ run warrants keeping faith in him.

The same should be said of Moutinho who garnered transfer interest after recording five assists in the three matches prior to Gameweek 26. A match-up with Newcastle looked to be perfect for his attacking potential as no team had allowed more chances from set pieces, in which Moutinho is involved, than the Magpies between Gameweeks 22 and 25. However, the Portuguese’s delivery on Monday night was not quite up to scratch. His new owners will hope that was just a one-off.

Wolves probably should have won the game based on the balance of chances. They fashioned 22 chances to Newcastle’s nine, 16 of which were in the box and six were on target. Accordingly, they were ahead on expected goals (xG) too by a score of 2.41 to 0.43. However, they were unable to take their chances when they were on top of the game, a Rui Patrício (£4.5m) error allowing Isaac Hayden’s (£4.3m) second-half shot into the net. From that point onwards, Nuno had to go to ‘plan B’, introducing the usual suspects from the bench, Hélder Costa (£4.7m), Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.2m) and Adama Traoré (£5.1m). It was the latter whose speculative cross to the back-post in stoppage-time was nodded home by a high-rising Willy Boly (£4.6m)

“The performance deserved goals. We produced, we combined, we create situations but the final touch was not there but it something we must improve and be more clinical. The game requires that quality of the players.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

It was a disappointing night for the 25% of Fantasy managers invested in Matt Doherty (£5.4m). Patrício’s error ensured the first blank for the Irish wing-back since Gameweek 23, who was unable to play a part in Wolves’ efforts to rescue a point. It was Doherty who made way for Traoré in the 80th minute.

This was the sort of match in which Wolves defensive assets were expected to keep a clean sheet. Newcastle arrived at Molineux bottom of the league for goal attempts inside the box, efforts on target and total big chances in the four away matches prior to Gameweek 26. Obviously, Patrício’s error is partially to blame, as the Magpies failed to create a single big chance on Monday night, but Wolves continue to show better defensive strength away from home this season than in front of their away fans. At Molineux in 2018/19, they have conceded an average of 1.4 goals per league game, compared to 1.2 per away match.

The standout Fantasy asset for Newcastle was goalscorer Isaac Hayden (£4.3m) who has been making a strong case for inclusion as a fifth midfielder in recent weeks. All three of his attacking returns this season have now come in the last four Gameweeks after the 21-year-old has stepped up his performances of late. Having started the last eight in a row, Hayden is offering the potential for both goals and assists.

Of midfielders priced £4.5m or under, only Dwight McNeil (£4.4m) has created more chances than him since Gameweek 23. Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.4m), Adama Diakhaby (£4.5m) and the Burnley man are the only options from the chosen bracket to have shot more often in that time frame. Crucially, from those options, only McNeil can offer a similar healthy balance between the two statistics. With Huddersfield (home), Burnley (home), West Ham (away) and Everton (home) the next four opponents for Newcastle, there is definitely the possibility for further returns for Hayden.

Also of note is the recent performances of Schär, who picked up the assist for Hayden’s goal. Like his colleague, he now has three attacking returns in four matches, although his output feels slightly less sustainable. Schär’s pass to Hayden on Monday night was his only chance created in the last four Gameweeks, while he has shot on four occasions in that period.

Rafa Benitez continues to set his Newcastle side up to frustrate the opposition, which could easily account for the difficulties Wolves’ attacking players had on Monday night. The former Liverpool man has typically deployed 5-4-1 in recent weeks, but he went with a 4-4-2 led by Salomón Rondón (£5.7m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) at Molineux. Manchester City, Spurs and now Nuno’s newly-promoted side know how hard it can be to play against such an organised outfit. The Magpies should certainly not be overestimated when looking at upcoming opponents of our attacking assets in the final Gameweeks of the season, especially as Premier League survival is increasingly on the line for them.

New signing Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) made his debut for Newcastle when he came on for Christian Atsu (£5.1m) in the 72nd minute. He did inject some pace into the game but it might still be a short while before the former Atlanta United man gets his first Premier League start. Benitez explained after the match that he still needs to understand Newcastle’s style of play.

“We needed some fresh legs and energy and he could make the runs. He was fine. He needs to understand what we need to do.” – Rafa Benitez

Wolves XI (3-5-2): Patrício; Boly, Cody, Bennett; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker (Cavaleiro 69′), Doherty (Traoré 81′); Jota (Costa 69′), Jiménez.

Newcastle United XI (4-4-2): Dubravka; Lejeune, Lascelles, Schär, Yedlin; Atsu (Almirón 72′), Longstaff, Hayden (Diamé 86′), Ritchie; Pérez (Manquillo 90+1′), Rondón.

    6 shots in the box is nice but still only says 2 points on my fpl page.

    Of Digne, Sane, Richarlison and Kamara, and with a FT in hand, what would be your priority to get rid of and how many hits would you take (if you were happy with the rest of your team and intending to WC at GW34)?

    1. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      if you gonna FT kamara... what price bracket fwd are you looking at?.

      1. Feyzi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Good question and I intentionally had not given this information, to see how one would instinctively react. With 1.3 ITB, keen to do Kamara to Auba, which would force me to do Sane to 4.x plus Digne or Richarlison to around 0.5 less of their value. The alternative would be to do Kamara to Niasse or 5.x forward and keep better options in midfield I guess.

        1. Turns
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I did Kamara, Sane -> Auba, Hayden (-4)

          1. Feyzi
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I am 0.2 short of that but I obviously see your point. Will just need to do a -4 with either Digne or Richarlison.

        2. Where has all the rum gone?
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          i think the way to move in this order
          1. kamara
          2. digne
          3. Richarlison
          4. sane

          without looking any other info on your team. i rank these according to the importance to their respective roles.

          kamara digne +1.3 can get you a low cost 3rd fwd, with good fixtures and digne can be moved to....say... bamba/ bennett/wbs

          1. Feyzi

        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks! I am thinkinjg of the same thing. There is something wrong with him in the team and Pep does not seem to need him at this moment...

    3. Numbuster
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If you get that numbers of transfer.. i would suggest you to go for a WC

      Leicester are a good shout, but Madison nor showing his early season points scoring form. Think there are better options :/

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

        BT have even got Sky beat 2-1 on that count.

        1. Tommo1888
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Most people up here are gutted they have lost the Scottish rights as BT seem to invest more in our coverage . Sky are so budget it’s crazy

    2. J T
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Or you can buy a biggestTv membership and watch every single PL match inc 3pm kick offs, all the rugby, f1, PPV boxing and many more for just £10 a month. And the best bit is Sky doesn’t get a penny. I can’t tell you where to buy it thou I think that’s against the rules 😀

      1. Ted Striker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Are sky not showing any premier league or championship over the weekend then?

  6. Johno99
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    2FT - any thoughts?
    A) put Lacazette in, keep Raheem over blank gw, and put Kolasinac/pereira/maguire in for Digne
    B) put Aubameyang in, sterling out for Anderson/Maddison and put Aguero in for Rashford the week after

    1. Another Hoops
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A I think. Not sure I'd want to take rashford out just yet.

      Just started reading thanks Hindu.

      Generous write up on Alonso 🙂 and it also reminded me that there had actually been a bandwagon involving Barkley this season. Wow.

    2. Gnu

      Great read, cheers Monkey.

    3. Olivier Bernards watch

      great stuff

    4. tucaoneo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Is Shane Long Saints' first choice striker now? Kinda feel bad for them.

  8. Another Hoops
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Hey guys after this week sterling or aguero? I'm learning towards the midfielder atm

    1. DandyDon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Depends how much catching up you have to do. Sterling more of a differential

      1. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reply.

        I'm ahead by 90. ML rival does have Aguero.

        Patricio - Etheridge
        Robertson - Pereira - Digne - Doherty - Wan Biss
        Salah - Sterling - Pogba - Son - Anderson
        Rashford - Jimenez - 6.8

        Or

        Patricio - Etheridge
        Robertson - Pereira - Digne - Doherty - Wan Biss
        Salah - 6.6 - Pogba - Son - Anderson
        Rashford - Jimenez - Aguero

    2. MyBall MyRules
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Both must be great options. I'd favour Stirling because there are so many good forward options

      1. Another Hoops
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed. I'm looking at Arnie because after City he has nice fixtures. Just hope he doesn't break 🙂

    3. Numbuster
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      i would inject Aguero first before Sterling

  9. Tosa86
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I'll play WC in GW28, my idea is below:

    Etherdige - Fabianski
    TAA - WBA - Pereira - Doherty - XXX
    Salah - pogba - sterling - son - Gunnarsson
    Kun - Jimenez - YYY

    10.9 in the bank, who are XXX and YYY, any suggestion?
    the rest of team is good?

    King at third forward and 4.4 defender.

    for GW27:

    Fabianski
    pereira - doherty - robertson
    pogba - salah - son anderson
    auba - rashford -jimenez

    etherdige - wba - vvd - billing

    make sense auba replaced with lacazette?
    who as captain?

    1. Another Hoops
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Rondon. Not prolific but has decent fixtures. Or Arnie if you can find a cheap 4.1 def.

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I like Bamba from Cardiff as the XXX

      1. Tosa86
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        even if I have etheridge?

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Double up maybe not

  10. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Digne to Pereira? 😉

    Fabianski/Hart
    Doherty/Shaw/WB/Digne/Bedanrek
    Salah/Mane/Son/Pogba/Puncheon
    Auba/Rashford/Jimenez

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sound move.
      Is he definitely the go to? Given my crap rank I'm half tempted to punt on Maguire

      1. Atimis
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Maguire looks very good on corners however there is bigger potential and probability of assists for Pereira

    2. DandyDon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Does he play the future blank gameweek, 31 is it? Tempted by Lascelles myself, not sure which way I’ll go

      1. Atimis
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Lei should have no BGW imo

      2. Numbuster
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        if Lascelles, why not Schar?

  11. Fantasyamateur
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    83 points and 438 overall. All chips intact and set up for the chance of a very good finish this season!

    My team for next GW looks like this:

    Alisson
    Bissaka - Yoshida - Doherty - Robertson
    Salah - Pogba - Camarasa - Son
    Jimenez - Rashford

    Bench: Richarlison, Agüero, Laporte, Button.

    2.7M ITB and 1FT.

    My original plan was Agüero to Auba. After recent performances that's not really much of an option I think..

    Other suggestions here? Yoshida not likely to play so atm only got 10 players for GW27.

    1. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Similar situation here: OR 675, all chips and Sterling & Kun in my team

      Having planned on getting Auba for Kun for 26-28 I'm stumped

      There arent any other great 27 (C) options but it's two transfers at a time of need

      1. danishdynamite
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        ......And given the lack of great options in 27, a team of 10 wouldn't be the end of the world IMHO

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I have to decide whether to take a hit for a keeper. Think I'll play with 10. Only a clean sheet will give me a positive result

          1. Fitzy.
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Definitely don't do that.

          2. danishdynamite
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Do you have 2FT's, or just the 1?

        2. Fantasyamateur
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, I kind of agree.. Might be worth saving a FT as well, depending on the results in the FA-cup and how the FH-chip will be played.

          1. danishdynamite
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I'm not planning a great deal til we know how the FA cup games go

            Main issue, I guess, is who is the (C) for 27 and is he worth a hit (i.e. Kun > Auba > Kun) ........ and I'm guessing the answer is no. Long time til deadline though

            1. Fantasyamateur
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Probably smart, but its alright to have some ideas I think anyways.

              (C) for me stands between Son and maybe even Felipe if I bring him in. If I were to bring in Auba he is deffo my cap.

    2. DandyDon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Your about where I’d be if I brought in Aguero! Just back inside top 3k after slight green this week. Can you look to move on Richarlison and go to 5 in midfield?

      1. Fantasyamateur
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, though about Felipe Anderson f.ex.. But not super convinced by West Ham to be honest..

        1. Fantasyamateur
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          *thought

        2. danishdynamite
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Covers you for 31 too (with decent fixtures in between) if you plan to avoid using your chips in 31.

          1. Fantasyamateur
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yup.. However its though to avoid using chips in 31 as I currently only have three players guaranteed to play that GW. Hopefully the FA-cup will be nice to me..

            1. danishdynamite
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Three?! Yikes

  12. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Jamal Lascelles looks a decent option for Digne. He plays BGW31 too if I’m not mistaken. Next 2 fixtures look plum

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely. I also think Lejeune is more or less nailed, good bap potential and 4.4.

    2. MyBall MyRules
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      This. Or schar

  13. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Seriously?
    With 124 points and 32% ownership who's looking for encouraging signs?
    Some super cautious casual may be!!!

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      To quote another ffs regular. Classic Munday 🙂

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years

      Encouraging signs = worth keeping ?

  14. Weissflog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    A bit torn on the next moves.
    2 FTs 0.2 ITB, WC already gone, overall ranking ~6k

    Lloris (Button)
    Robertson Shaw Pereira Bennett AWB
    Salah Pogba Son Sane Hazard
    Jimenez Rashford Long

    Well, it's clear Sane and/or Hazard have to go, but what are the moves?
    Should I wait for the future BGW and DGW schedule to be announced? When will this happen, prior to next deadline or?
    Plan is most likely to bring in gradually players that blank week 31, free hit on that week and then I am pretty much set for the coming double weeks..

    Tempted to bring in Lacazette and one whitehot City player.
    Any recommendations? Should I hold onto the transfers until the schedule for the coming weeks is knows?

    Any advice highly appreciated, thanks.

    I read few popular opinions about gw31-35 tactic but i didnt find support for mine. Here it is...please tell me where im wrong.
    - Through FT setting up team for DGW32
    - FH BGW31
    - BB DGW32 (more choice than popular GW35 BB)
    - WC GW33
    - 2 FT for TC DGW35.

    1. jomikijiq
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      if you WC 33, you will basically have no DGW players in 35

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Already used me WC but still have all 3 Chips so what the perfect plan

      2. Nüno Vippan
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        33 or 34. Point is TC in DGW35. I expect no more than 4-6 blank teams

    2. The 5% Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      yes, I'm thinking about this as well. Play WC in either 33 or 34, depends on FA cup mainly.

      I'm playing my second WC to set my team up for the last 5 GWs, not to set it up for a max DGW35. Just make sure I have a good TC option for that week.

    3. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      WC gw 34 & it's great IMO.
      I've used up TC chip otherwise this was my original plan (Before realizing that i want to use FH in a dgw instead of bgw)

        Thanks! Just got to try and keep it;)

    2. The 5% Team

      nice one. All three of you have great rankings btw

        Thankyou for taking the time to check it out 🙂

  17. Iggypop

    Arsenal have 2 Europa league games before next GW, plenty time to get Auba up and running again

    Does anyone have the chip using blueprint (all four chips)? Asking for a casual friend.

    1. pricycle
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      WC 32
      FH 33
      BB 35
      Then fit in your tc is another double becomes available or just on a good fixture

      1. pricycle
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        This requires planning for 31 though

    2. mike09
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      FH DGW 32
      WC 34
      BB DGW 35
      TC 36 (Salah hudd)

      1. pricycle
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        This is nice too. Should mean super strong for dgws but could mean you have poor players in between them?

        1. mike09
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          There will be similiar teams who have BGW in 31 and 33 but fewer inn 33. So if I have to play with 9 or 10 players in 31 that is fine.
          Liverpool, Leicester, Bournmouth, West Ham should play in both. Hopefully either Wolves or/and Man United aswell.

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Interested

  19. FDMS All Starz
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Will Kun rise again before the deadline?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He could.

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Surely closer to the deadline people won’t be buying him in maybe more people will sell him...think the people who bought him in now are casuals, the proper players will make their transfers later right

  20. Cookie Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Could Auba drop in price again before next GW?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He could.

    2. Iggypop
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      potentially could play in Europa thursday, a goal would surely stop any drops!

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Play him in Europe. Laca in league 😆

  21. pricycle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Who scores more this week:
    Firmino and Pereira
    AWB and Lacazette

    Thanks!

  22. Bow Locks
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Selling Richarlison today before I lose value.
    Anderson seem to be a boring replacement but I just can't see anything better.

    1. davidmcnamara
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Anderson a good replacement

      1. Bow Locks
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Maddison seriously damaged my rank once already this season or I'd take a punt on him just for the fixtures and set pieces.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I get the Anderson attraction but isn't it misfiring Rich to player with 1 assist in 7. It is nice fixture though and I do think Arnie saga messed with team

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Forget value

  23. pakornk
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Would you rate Rashford and/or Jimenez as essential?

    I dont have either of these two.

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      None essential.
      But very good value to Money.
      Jimenez fixtures currently are great compared to Rash

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Probably no point getting a Rash right now

    3. joeydelucchi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      you can hold off from rash, playing 2 of the stiffer defences in the next 2 and we will see what this side is really made of too against pool, the wheels could come off? 🙂

  24. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Any Watford supports on? Looking at Gray for a draft league. Wondering if he is likely be starting now after his goal with Deulofeu starting out wide.

  25. Amey
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Auba has lost 0.4(0.2 start if the season + 0.2 since gw 25) this season when i got him.
    Curse ??
    😀

  26. davidmcnamara
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Who should I get rid of?

    A) Haz
    B) Luiz
    C) Both (-4)

    1. mike09
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      C

  27. Kuzser
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Obviously will wait until all FA Cup and CL games are played, but wait move is better here?
    1) Hazard, Kamara, Digne-> Auba, Hayden, Lejeune for -4.
    Gw28: son->sterling
    2) digne-> Lejeune
    Gw28: hazard kamara-> Kun, hayden

    Current line up for 27:
    FAB
    Robbo awb Pereira Schindler
    Son Salah Anderson pogba
    Rashford Jimenez

    Hazard** Digne** kamara

  28. The Left Duke #3
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    After being in the top 10k since GW 12, I have finally be ousted after two awful GW's to an OR 13.4k. Thanks Kun.

    Anyway onwards and upwards. Brought Kolasinac in for Danilo last night. (Note: Danilo = worst transfer of the season)

    Team for Blank GW as follows

    Fabianksi (Patricio)
    Robbo Kolasinac Doherty AWB (Digne)
    Salah Son Pogba (Gudmundsson Richarlison)
    Aubameyang Jimenez Rashford

    Have 1.2m left ITB. Should I do anything else for a hit?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      1st time in 10k this season 🙂 I guess save trade hokey cokey Kun next week or after but don't rate Arsenal attack vs City. Get rid of Rich asap

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I resisted the hokey cokey Auba - Kun - Aub which turns out to be the worst decision of the season.

        I cant wait to rid of Rich. I think a punt on Maddison might be worth it.

  29. bryant
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    How is my plan
    Current team
    Fab-Hamer
    Robbo-Digne-Doherty-Schindler-AWB
    Pogba-Salah-Jota-Anderson-Hojbjerg
    Auba-Jimenez-Rash

    Transfer plan
    Gw27: rash jota -> diakhaby vardy
    Gw28: Pogba -> Mané
    Gw29: save
    Gw30: transfer out Doherty and Jimenez (likely pereira and barnes)
    Gw31: transfer out auba (not many good options i dont think)
    Gw32: free hit
    Gw33: transfer out Anderson for spurs mid
    Gw34: wildcard
    Gw35: boost
    Assuming all prem teams make quarters except mun or che(doesnt matter which)
    Only hole is no gw33 keeper

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You need a gw33 keeper

      1. bryant
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        would it be better to transfer one in gw33 and start hojbjerg/4th def rather than an auba replacement

        1. jomikijiq
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          West Ham will play in GW33 if United beat Chealsea, so just wait

        2. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I would do this

        3. bryant
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          *gw31

  30. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Just starting to get my head around the blanks and doubles...

    Most people thinking as follows?

    BGW31 Free Hit
    DGW32 BB/TC
    GW34 Wildcard
    DGW35 TC/BB

    1. bryant
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      how do you cope gw32-33
