FPL Gameweek 4: analysis of the key underlying stats

Assuming that defence gets you points you are good to go

I'd get Pukki and one playing GK should do.

I wouldn't want King in a WC team.

No Pukki. Nuff said

I'd downgrade Heaton & AWB and change King

Forwards not tried and tested yet.
Wesley or Haller not both.
AWB dropping in price so do that tomorrow.
Cantwell 4th mid pushing it IMO. Good early form but things could go pearshaped.
5 cheep players too many IMO
Money ITB?

Either Pope or Heaton our for a non playing keeper
Wesley our for Pukki
King out and upgrade Dendoncker to Mount

Terrible team (No pukki)

Kdb

Kdb by million miles

All in on city imo

Serious? Totally incomparable players.

Kdb eats mount for breakfast

KdB

Yes

I would. And a few weeks later when jesus threat is back i would lose kun to bring kdb.

All in on city imo

oh yes

Yes. If KDB gets a bunch of assists you will get points anyway because Sterling/Aguero are the most likely to be putting them in the net.

Yeah TAA could easy match Kdb points over the next 5

You could roll the transfer so you have 2 after the IB. Then lose Martial. Keep an eye on values though

Bushman...... that makes no sense at all.
How will he have 2 frees after IB.
I would do it, sounds like a plan

hold if you have bench to play. Martial could play after international break

Yes as I'm planning to swap Trossard out for De Bruyne for a -4 myself next week. Cantwell might get some juicy points as well this week.

A short term. B long term

A

B

Cheers all

B

B only because it's much cheaper.

B for sure

Kelly

Greenwood

Ask after pressers, as it stands I'd play Kelly.

Martial confirmed not playing GW4 but not entirely sure Greenwood will step in surely would be Pereira or Mata?

Do you also have lundstram?

Both gonna get 1 or 2 pts so dont sweat over it

Yes...good fixtures and no Jesus

can always switch back to KdB later in season

I would. Nice time to take lead and act accordingly.

I think Aguero is a must for WCers

When you're dreaming about FPL hauls you know you're in deep. Been there thouth

Injured players need sorting first.
Always

That's Jamie for you. That being said, I've pulled the trigger and swapped him out for Haller in order to save some cash for next week.

I like both Son and Pépé a lot but I'd still go for De Bruyne. Brighton(H) and Norwich are too juicy.

King for me on pens and Tammy not nailed for 90mins a week

prob the more boring pick King
think Abraham will at times rotate with Giroud (although will mostly be a starter)

I'd rather be castrated by a blunt razor than own king

Tammy easily

I think fixtures for Spurs are not that good and Martial is out.. Not a bad move imo

no problem with -4 or -8 hits if there's a plan behind the moves.
Looks good to me, so go for it I'd say

Yes I'd do the same

"I wouldn’t WC until GW 8or11 without any more hits!"

Remember that line!

Also, if the moves are really good long term, they're worth a hit or two imo.

Thats a yay for me

Looks great man

Yes sir! Dangerous that city triple up.. could be absolute gold

Could easily do a tonne with that front 7.

A

A

B.

Not seen many teams with big 3 plus KDB. Kane to Auba in a few weeks.

Make sure your 4.5 defs rotate well.

A. Although I'd say B if you changed Zinky, Mings and McGinn and swapped Kane for Aguero

You really dont want Kane on a wildcard until spurs sort out their disharmony

Hold imo, Moura could do well

Watch pricing closely.

I'd hold

Get rid imo

I wouldn’t take a hit, is Mount 100% now?

I reckon he won’t but you never know with Pep...

Would guess so. I think he drops out when they play tougher teams

If he's back, yes.

Cantwell isn't a bad option this week.

yeah, 2 FT after ib is important

Cantwell fine to play this week.

Does your second GK play?

Adrian when Alisson due back soon?
Raz Kev Mo are rappers I presume.
Matip limited gametime.
Adrian and Matip rotation risks and a third of a top team budget?
Ceballos jury out.
Rest is template so no; a shocker.

A

A

A

C

B

B

B

A

C with A next in order.

Guess it depends on the rest of your team. Got a decent lineup without Greenwood?

If so, A.

Save transfer imo

Lanzini imo

Mount

Mount

I’m about to take a minus 8 for Kane/martial- Kun(C)/Lanzini
Does this seem even half sensible lol

I'm holding and hoping he will back after international break.
But if you have to swap, I prefer Lanzini

Would hold if I had a decent bench player to step in this gw

Yeah not sure why I would sell right before the IB. This is what a bench is for

Lanzini Maddison ?

Pope
Virgil, Digne, Lundstram
Salah, Sterling, Ceballos, Cantwell
Pukki, Kane, Greenwood

Button, KWP, Montoya, MARTIAL

1.2 itb

I can’t waste xfr on it but he’s a good about yeah I was talking about him earlier on here

He's terrible

Did gameweek 2

Is it not best to take a few hits if it gets you the team you would WC to?
I’d imagine a few more weeks data would be nice for the WC button tho imo

Just haven't really been in enough of a mess to warrant using the WC. I've been there in previous seasons, but I'm glad that I still have it now.

You never know.

Yep agree, you can really set yourself up nicely by getting on the early bandwagons who look long term value. My GW1 team had the likes of Siggy, Robinson, King and Adams who have already dropped 0.6m. By WC'ing early (last GW), I was able to avoid all those drops and get on some guys who look great value long term. I was able to bring in Pukki for 6.6m who is now 7m, Mount for 6.0m who is now 6.2m, KDB for 9.5m now 9.7m, Cantwell 4.5m, now 4.7m and Lundstram 4.0m now 4.2m.

I wildcarded in GW3 last season and got a horrible score of 27 but I skyrocketed up the rankings afterwards as I has Hazard, Fraser and a few others in early!

Historically, my wildcard has been my poor choice, making it a nightmare to rectify.
If your GW1 squad was a poor choice, a WC is the obvious solution.
If you've started well, it's actually quite a predicament. I have started well, but there are 5 or 6 changes I'd like to make next week, so that puts me in quite a dilemma.

People last week bought in man united and spurs players.

Too early to wc

My start and end are always fantastic but the middle of the season is where I drop points. The contrast is quite huge. Got a great start now as well I'm going to at least try and save my WC and use it when I usually seem to mess it up.

Mmm, touch & go now, I'd say. Okay for this GW.

Until we see Mendy on the bench

I'd captain Kun easily if I had him.

Well, no reason for Kun not to play the 90 mins this weekend, so I'd definitely give it to him if I had him.

Easy Kun. And I don’t own him

I'm trying to decide this also
Sterling
- seems like more upside 20+pts
- hat trick GW1
- CS point and goal extra point
- more assist potential
- highest PPG last season
- 2 shots last week

Aguero
- max upside say hattrick 17pts
- brace last GW, arguably in better recent form
- on penalties
- differential pick
- game might suit him more if BHA pack the box
- will likely play 90, unlike most of last season
- 4 shots last GW

Analyse the above and let me know ha ha

The very best way of gaining or losing ground is captain choice. If 50% captain Sterling and 15% go for Kun your mind should be made up for you this time of the season.

... is the million $$ question. Ask Captain Hindsight on Sunday.

He has been "over achieving" since January.

Wont be standing up for Van Dijk ...
