NO WAY JOSE

Save and do it next week. Villa conceded 31 shots last game.

What if.. Next week someone like haller /Jiminez explode or Rashford scores a brace again? Wouldn't you rather save a transfer and use 2 to upgrade instead of getting pukki in right now?

id wait one more week. Villa aren't good defensively

go for it

Just about to ask the same question!

Sensible thing is save the transfer which I do get but come on we enjoy the risk right! I wish the gameweek could start now so I don’t have to over think it

Mate I am in the same position

You have got to give King a try against Villa at least

Then maybe look also at Barnes or Wood they might be more sensible picks

Pukki is tempting though...

Haller more nailed, and more involved in attacking play. So him

Haller

Haller

One thing you don’t consider in that is the fact you can’t have a £4m midfielder or Striker. So you actually spend more on the defence than you think.

Pre season called, it wants it’s post back

Try it out. Let us know how it goes.

if Liverpool defenders get 200 points again, or there about that's 5 PPG roughly of course. Laporte might push them, but then the rest of premium defenders will be fortunate to hit 160 in my opinion, so 4 PPG.

id argue its definitely more effective to have the extra 6.5 mid or striker in a 3-5-2/3-4-3 line up instead of a premium defender, and try to own them during their purple patches during the season, which could average considerably higher than 4-5 PPG over a 5 match streak per se.

Agree if you keep long term, but hopping on and off form attacking players in this bracket is necessary to get a really good rank. Keep one player all season in a £6.5m slot and they might get 130 pts. Rotate that slot across 4 or 5 form players and could be 250+

Seems good to me, I'd save the FT

D

I have him as well and slightly worried, but definitely keeping for one more week

D for this week as none of the others jump out.

to be fair, none of the popular options in Murray's price bracket worked out. I had him until a last-minute switch to Wood

Lingard will lose his spot for sure over the season. Awful player.

Perez or Lanzini

That number 10 role in the current Ole system is unclear. Besides that he's never been a consistent pick.

Tielemans is what I'd go with.

Pukki's record at Norwich is incredible to be fair. I guess if they continue to ship goals at the other end like they have in their previous PL campaigns, there's only one way they are going to win matches….

How do you think King will do at Villa and how do you think Pukki will do against Newcastle?

Dude, -4, no more. Pukki is my number one watchlist. I have King and I think he needs to get some more time. I think Bournemouth will come good this weekend. I'm hoping he's part of it.

I've got King and Deeney. Deeney to Pukki makes sense right??

Give King one more week

also king is not really a striker. I dont care about hits, pukki scored against liverpool so he can score against anyone. Could easily have got 2. And king did nothing against a poor sheffield...

If that's your strategy then do your thing. Just my opinion. Also keep in mind Pukki has Man City and Chelsea (who knows if the D can get sorted out) coming up. I know he scored against Pool ar Anfield. I don't doubt he'll score against Newcastle. But your essentially 12 in the hole wuth another hit to break even.

Who’s your daddy?

That's how I see it anyway, I know most will just say 'points over prices rises' or whatever, but no-one can say definitively who the best 7-8m midfielder will be over the next 6 weeks, but it could easily be Martial and that 0.1 'lost' could be important - but thanks to that price rise I'll have to wait to find out now, I think. Definitely TMI there 😀

Just the man found that Gilbert article mate

* Guilbert

I'm getting him next week for Fraser, this weekend is about finding where to downgrade for the other move.

9 years and on WC already?!

Yep like I said long story but hastily changed before deadline and made three poor choices that left unsolved would be catastrophic in a competitive cash league and OR

dropping Salah is not issue as long as you use the funds adequately. Seems like you have but your defence must be lacking?

If you are on your wc and not getting salah & sterling then you are wasting your wc.

Plus you can add son in quite easily

I feel like Mane is over-priced this season. That's the issue. He's not cheaper enough to Salah to make him worth it.

VVD, Coleman and AWB plus 2 near perfectly rotating wingbacks.

KDB is a holder price point for Son or Pepe, which then allows Kane to Auba if needs be.

WC GW3, not GW2 if you haven’t pressed the button already?

Key teams fixtures all turns good GW3.

a lot are considering it, but you should wait one more week. Be interesting to see how Pukki fairs if Newcastle sit in a bit and he doesn't have the room in behind to run

Bournemouth didn't fire due to a weird formation due to injuries and late new arrivals. This will change. Coupled with Vila being very leaky I can see Bournemouth goals. I'd certainly wait

Last week these guys were raving about Trossard and thousands went for him. Don't take their word as gospel.

Yes, give it one more week

Also I'm looking at Barnes or Wood over Pukki

I would go for Lundstram first

Lundstram/Hayden is a hard one. Rico about right....

It’s right.

Thanks all

Lundstrum first

Very weird question

Man City won the league already. Better side with a fat deeper squad

City seem more immune because of their quality in depth. Liverpool don't have that. I mean, last season KDB, Aguero, Mendy, Fernandinho and Silva were injured for various lengths of time, and none seemed liked a considerable loss. Sane has just been ruled out for 6-7 months and City still can afford to have B.Silva on the bench.

So you saying man city have more strength in depth? Mind blown

With the amount of games they have / will have played in the last 12 months and as the season goes on, it seems a probability that a key player will get a serious injury. Not wishing that on anyone.

City have more strength in depth but a long term injury to laporte would be very damaging and with sane out loss of sterling could be compared to liverpool losing Salah (sort of)

i'd wait until Gw2 has happened as you'll double the amount of data to make better decisions. All i'm seeing is a team that chases GW1 points which is the wrong way to approach

Stop wasting your time and go for a walk or whatever.

That forward line , makes me want to Puke-ki.

No Son/Kane?

Personally I'm not a fan of the combo of Mcginn + Pukki + Sharp, they play for lower side teams
I rather have a premium defender than a cheap attacker.

I would try to get at least 1 more premium defender.

You'll be needing a GW3 WC based on GW2 dream team.

Well that’s a frontline that would have had everyone going WTF 18 months ago

Pukki/Sharp/Greenwood

I'm giving King the Villa game and seeing what happens after that , but not buying into Pukki just yet, but it is a great fixture for him v Newcastle

I love a hot snot

What is his current status? Injured?

Regret picking him and hope he does better this week

I've always been happy with fpl stats.

No.

11/10 or 48% probability according to william hill

Yes

Yeah was thinking the same

But is that because of the problems with the fpl App?

Needs price changes to forecast price changes

Going to have to be patient and give these guys time to work their magic, they're never going to get all of the early price changes spot on.

Facepalm

Alphabetical. Who the hell uses it alphabetically.
This one’s a keeper.

Meh, you'll be noticing the FPL site uses 'Spurs' instead of 'Tottenham' next.

Martial has gone up to 7.6m, that is all you need to know.

You know there's an FPL website, right?
You know there's a section in green re tweets on this very page, right?

while people are dumping wolves assets I'm getting ready to buy for week 3

I'd hold and see what happens this week if you've got a starter on the bench?

If Villa, I'd go McGinn. Perreira a horrible shout

Doh!

This is your sixth season. Don't you know the rules, yet?

🙂

Lol

I have Pukki & glad I do. 29 goals last year in the championship & is the fulcrum of Norwich's attack

wtf is your team!?

Can I have a consonant and another and another please.
