How to handle FPL bandwagons in early Gameweeks

Nothing more than what Silva said after the game

Will only be out for one game either way

A

Yes C absolutely. Bang out of form.

Bench C

Wait

Why get rid of Pope?

Pope was great against Arsenal. He'll get some max baps CS scores. Might go with him as only playing GK

1 but not a fan of the defence. Perhaps get Soyuncu in to upgrade elsewhere.

Not keen on Kane either.

Was going to go through what I did and didn't like about both teams but Jesus they both look v good. Making me want to wc haha. Not much in it as I like Son and Rashford just as much as either. Not keen on Mount in team 2 and walker isn't nailed imo.

Pukki as a lone forward seems very brave

I probably prefer team two as well. It’s just the strike force I’m not a fan of but then, you can’t have it all

Team 2 looks fun

With 2FTs it's flexible enough to get you most anywhere. Using up the 5th mid spot just seems a bit of a shame when the 4.5 mids look class bargain basement fodders when compared to the forwards.

Team 1 is much better!

Nah, sensible, is all that is

Not really - I rarely do early moves except to cover early season rises like this week 🙂
Meaning I have Digne to worry about....

From the community article on undervalued players

"Another widely discussed topic is should we make transfers early or incur price increase/decrease and wait as close to deadline as possible. My regression can calculate the cost of waiting. The value of any additional 0.1 in team value diminishes from 1.7 points at the start of the season to 0 points at the end.

As an example, if there are 37 Gameweeks left, the cost of 0.1 increase in price can be calculated as 0.1 multiplied by incremental return of 1m (0.46) and multiplied by remaining Gameweeks (37). That would give us 0.1 x 0.46 x 37 = 1.7 points for every 0.1 increase in price. The cost of missing 0.2 price increase (3.4 points) is just below the cost of a hit (4 points)."

Hope that made sense to you 😉

I usually do early transfers, especially if its an exact money swap, eg. King to Pukki last week and Auba to Kane this week. Guess I just dont have the patience to wait until after all the pressers, which is likely a flaw in my game!

kdb, robbo, pukki

richarlison 6 shots 5 in box 1 big chance 0 on target

4.5M fodder? wouldn't start him

Rival to his place out for 3 months and stats in first 2 games are v good

Nope. Pukki raising his value only reason

He's 4.5, playing as a left-winger, Norwich fans are extremely impressed by his improvement this season, his main competition (Hernandez) is long-term injured, he got 2 assists last game, and he's supplying the brilliant finisher that is Pukki. Looks good atm imo

If it's literally for this gw then moura

Awb is a bonus magnet

2B

1b

64.5%

King, Wilson, Perez and potential injured Digne. Yikes

I would if you have the funds!

McGinn

a not close

Going without either on WC most likely. Rather Mane Kane Sterling KDB atm

none of that is necessarily true. martial extra pt for goal and cs and 1m cheaper. barnes/pukki better value non premium options than rash imo

Solid points. But:

Martial is playing more centrally
He gets an extra point for a goal
He gets an extra point for a CS
He's 1m cheaper

Both good options imo, though I won't get both myself

Martial.

If you have Pukki and he loses form, Barne's fixtures pick up nicely.

I'm most afraid of Aguero scoring big. Can't see Greenwood starting

kean should get a start imo. maybe tierney?

Son off bench
Zinch swapped. No ones dropped at city as there is no nailed place except ederson
Mata over both
Perez plays
I buy Jesus starting

There are two other City players Pep may decide that had a full preseason and deserve a rest before CL sets in 😉

Why would Zinchenko be dropped?
James will start

Agree with others though

I need more information on players too!

Not satisfied just yet...

Might wildcard in a week or two.

Happy taking a -4 or using my FT for now.

totally agree

2 weeks a small sample - picked a reliable team based on medium term fixtures and broadly sticking with it. only seemingly big mistake i made was no sterling and have rectified this week

Exactly. International break soon aswell and we know how they can turn teams or even players

Not sold on KWP, but I like the rest a lot!

id prob start soy

dont like 3 premiums

If fplstatistics is right possibly several

I would take a point vs Everton but hoping for first win

2-1

Interesting ty all

I did it

Pukki is overachieving. Jota is underachieving. You put Jota in to start for a reason...at least wait until after midweek game?

Thank for the replies, I agrees i should at least wait for the midweek game and see how Jota looks. I guess just getting worried about the price changes. and Plus Jota is up against BUR, so it's a good fixture for him

Ya

Pretty sure it does mate.

100%

1hr 2 mins from now is danger zone cutoff

Yes i do think so, his Fixtures get better from this GW and he pass's the eye test. His every where on the Pitch.

So many better options imo

Kane or I wouldn't bother getting him in

Raz atm.

Rico and Kelly not going to play. Cahill is fit.
