Interview with Fantasy Eliteserien expert Jonas Bergh-Johnsen

A. Jota may be rotated.

2-2! ...anyone have any reasons for going either way?

I'm not sure about Spurs at all; Liv game obvioulsy tough and don't think that they will put many past Palace either.

Quite confident but I'd go with Ederson instead if you can

Laporte is fit.

I hope he will. Pretty nailed when fit.

Not entirely sure tbh. Ederson was my city defence luck til I found the team below. Thoughts on it?

Imo he is fit but with so many fixtures piling up will Pep risk playing him both games after the recent injury?

otamendi injured (back 30/03 tho)
kompany injured
stones injured

laporte plays both

Mili is a poor selection. Think you have to a run 3-4-3 and upgrade Duffy

I like your plan. I'm on Zaha. Deeney would be great if we knew he was going to play both games.

looks good.
My dilemma was City defender (Laporte) or attacker (D.Silva)...I went with Silva.

Azpi over Luiz for a start

If you aren’t going to give him the armband he is a non-option

Upgrade Ryan probably worth it but Bats and Deulo decent picks still I reckon.

However, I think I’m going w/o Kane. Expensive with those fixtures

Can't seem to fit him in with breaking rst of team so I'm not going to bother. Perhaps worth paying that much if you are going to captain, but better choices for armband this GW.

B, 1? All eggs in Palace basket could also be terrible too though.

B because of Laporte. Jota and Deulo much of a muchness.

B

Looks pretty solid. Not sure I’d bother with higuain though, and only MUN defender I’m overly convinced by is DDG personally (see my potential team above)

I don't like Higuain either. Don't think Luiz to Azpi worth it, but Lindelof to Young could be.

That’s a tough one. I’m currently between David Silva and Ederson for 3rd city pick so won’t be much help there. Both are better than their respective replacement options for you though. And I’m not wholly convinced on MUN defenders

A if I had to choose rn, but not sure smalling worth the $. Get a cheaper one

B

B for me

Thanks guys

If he plays the 2 fixtures, yes.

Rotation risk and long trip over international break.

Of course. Got rid of him for Wilson and regret it now.

Would love to get him back in, but very high likelihood he only plays the first fixture given their FA Cup semi is soon after the second game and Nuno can rotate

looking at his history he doesnt miss many games though

Plays for mexico on the 27th, then has to travel back for Burnley game on the 30th. I'd say he will be on the bench for that. The utd match is 3 days later which he'd probably start but probably won't play the whole match with fa cup fixture in mind.

Look at more popular one on captain poll and pick the other.

Not really much it in. FH will make or break the GW

aguero for me. he really seems nailed and is on pen

Son id say

Eriksen? Has good record vs palace

Son

would go for Alli, one week punt

Plan on getting Alli on GW34 WC but would go for Son on FH32 as Alli needs some more gametime

I like it, but not sure about Higuain, but if it is ever going to click for him you would expect it to be this GW.

3 Spurs
4 Utd
5 Ars
6 Chelsea

higuain is the key factor in whether I use fh or not this gw 🙂

Saying higauin is better than Kane is what?

Higuain has majorly failed the eye test for me, looks well off PL pace, and doesn't look especially interested on the pitch.
As you say the stats show he is getting 'big chances in the box' - but he's not taking them.
I do agree that he'll play both games though as a Sarri favourite.

Can't argue with the City fixtures, and good chances for two CSs.
Although, I have B.Silva as my third City player.

100% agree mate. The sheep mentality is crazy. People just writing off Higuain because they don't like the look of his general play, which really doesn't matter when it comes to FPL if he scores goals. Then people say he's only scored against poor teams in the PL. Exactly! And he's about to play two more of them. Better option than Kane or Lukaku in my opinion, even if price wasn't a factor, but he's got that in his favour too.

Don't want to be a sheep, better buy Higuain and B Silva

What's your defensive plan? I assume you have triple city attack, and then only one Chelsea defender with hazard+Higuain double up and as you have said you don't see the love for palace.
1 utd, 1 Chelsea and what else? Schlupp looks good to me as it stands, mainly because he's oop.

Got Hig in my team now and happy to say good-bye temporarily for FH rather than be disappointed again. As I have said above, this could be when it all falls into place for him, but I am sick of him.

Re. City defence, more than decent chance of points and cheapest way to get three City in the team.

Chelsea have three games in 7 days. Their full schedule is 7 games in 21 days.

Higuain is old and unfit. He will be rested for one of the three games. I reckon it will be the midweek one against Brighton.

Agree that Higuaín is a good option, though calling those who don't agree "sheep" is a bit unnecessary.

agree on hig and bilva both in my team....thoughts on zaha vs rash vs Jimi?

There is too much group thinking here and really tires me. A scout mentions a player on the scoutcast and suddenly a 100 teams are posted with that player.

The free hit for me is where the most ground can be made. Don't just pick the same players everyone else is getting, that's pointless. Yes, it "may" help to increase rank somewhat but it won't help you make a substantial rank gain.

Looks good. Might even look at 442 myself for FH

Looks solid.

Not sure about the 2 Chelsea DEF... Been looking shaky at the back.

Kane has 3 in his last 4, Higuain and Rashford have 1 between them!

new stadium, new spurs

if they lose 3-1 Liverpool and beat palace 1-0 and Kane scores both then hes a good asset id say. Not at all against the realms of possibility.

as good as any

Not tempted by Jimenez over Bats?

Prefer the Dilva Duffy combo personally. The rest looks reasonable 🙂 I'd personally steer clear of Deulofeu given Watford will clearly prioritise the FA cup game (plus Deu's very streaky record) but I guess you can't ask for much from a 5th mid.

Dilva, Duffy higher ceiling I think. I have Smalling, but will get rid if Lindelof Baby comes in next few days.

how filthy is the bench, intrigued.

for a -8 that is a great team. I myself have no WC or FH so am going for a bigger hit than -8.

Will bring in players that help with doubles in 34 and 35 to try and negate the large hit this week.

4 4 3 you ve cracked it 🙂

not totally familiar with fixtures yet but looks decent.

A

C biggest upside.

Difficult one, Schlupp is out of position but AWB gets bonus points and is probably a more certain starter.

Great team and fan of the Triple City attack

Looks good tbh, I'm looking at something similar
