ANSWERS

Who are the best Man City players to get under Wildcard?  I’m currently on Zinchenko, KDB and Sterling, but am also considering Otamendi, Stones and Aguero

Aleksander: “To try to solve Pep roulette is not a very pleasant task, but I will give it a go. Last week I would have said Zinchenko and just hope that Mendy remains close to a return for a couple of more months. 

“Also, it doesn’t seem like it will be straight forward for Mendy to walk into this City team anyway, with Zinchenko in decent form right now, both for club and country.

“However, after Laporte’s long-term injury an opportunity to go for the cheaper Otamendi has opened, and on a Wildcard, I think I would take that chance.

“I just think centre backs are safer from rotation than wing-backs, and I think Pep wants to pair his centre backs already against Norwich and play them together to build a relation between them. There is a risk that Fernandinho or Walker could line up alongside Stones, but my money is on Otamendi for that spot. 

“For my own team, I can’t get Otamendi in this week without a hit, so I will use this Gameweek to see if he actually starts and plays well, but I assume he does and therefore is a risk worth taking on Wildcard.

“Then it is the difficult choice of what attacking players to go for. Sterling and KDB have shown what they are made of this season, but so has Aguero. It has to be two of those three for me.

“The Silvas are tempting to save some money, but the points potential of the three mentioned players are just too high to ignore.

“The choice depends on what team structure you prefer. I like the look of the mid-price strikers this season and are more fan of the budget midfielder than the budget strikers. With that in mind, I decided to load up one the £6.5m to £7.5m strikers, with Cantwell as the fifth midfielder. Then it was straight forward to put Sterling and KDB in. 

“Also, going with two midfielders allows you to double the chances of bringing in small additionals of clean sheets as Manchester City should keep plenty of those this season. That is also why, combined with the cost element, I prefer to have a defender from City and not go all-in on their attack. I just have to take the unavoidable Aguero hattricks on the chin and hope KDB and Sterling can keep up.”

Should Salah be the automatic captain choice considering he has had a rest over the international break as opposed to Man City assets who have mostly been in action?

Legomané: “I can certainly understand the logic behind this question. A classic dilemma to follow the early season International break – for FPL managers, a premature prorogation period which by its nature breeds uncertainty. “What if..?”

“Mo Salah is undoubtedly a terrific captaincy option for Gameweek 5. His early season form has been bubbling toward scintillating. In particular, his second goal against Arsenal in Gameweek 3 was an emphatic statement that he intends to recapture the form of his record-breaking 32 goal return in 2017/18.

“Meanwhile, the odds of rotation must be a little higher than ‘normal’ for some Manchester City assets this Gameweek. Their squad depth is unrivalled in the league, and on paper an away fixture at defensively frail Norwich looks a simple task for them ahead of an important midweek Champions League tie in Ukraine.

“Of the three prime captaincy options among Man City players, only Sergio Agüero has been at his leisure this past fortnight. Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling have, however, both been in amongst the goals and assists for their national teams – continued form is unquestionable.

“Personally, my armband is somewhat loosely attached to Sterling for now. Perhaps it’s subconsciously because thus far, the apparent ‘obvious’ captaincy pick has been outscored by my vice each Gameweek.

“My conscious deduction process for splitting these two fantastic options so far has centred around the teams they face. Simply put, Norwich are statistically the worst team for shots conceded thus far, not to mention ravaged by injuries across the back-line. On the flip side, City are top of the charts for goal attempts.

“For others, the deciding factor will be influenced logically by the perceived certainty of starts. One thing is for sure, come Friday I’ll be keeping a keen ear for any unexpected hints from Pep!”

Who would form the best cheap defender (under £5m) rotation for Gameweeks 5 to 8? 

FPL Hints: “I’m on an active Wildcard at the moment and, instead of having cheap rotating defenders strategy that I can rely upon I’m opting for three of four starting regular defenders. 

“One of those defenders is £4.6m option, Erik Pieters. He has a generous fixture run between Gameweeks 5 and 8.  Between now and Gameweek 14 Burnley only face one team that finished in the top five last season.

“In addition, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that he picked up two assists in Gameweek 1.  With Ashley Barnes being in the form of his life there may be scope for Pieters to register more assists.

“Burnley appear to be a different outfit from last season, even if most of the personnel are the same.  Pieters is a reinforcement that has strengthened them and could be an FPL bandwagon waiting to happen.  He could offer exceptional value at his price range and is definitely worth considering.”

I am planning to play 4-5-1. Will it be a good move if I switch to Barnes from Pukki given the fixtures of Burnley and Norwich in upcoming weeks or will it be too risky to go without Pukki given his ownership? Pukki is overperforming according to XGA stats, so Pukki party may come to an end soon with tough fixtures ahead. Any other alternative suggestion of a single striker?

Tom: “Teemu Pukki is no doubt a good option going forward, and losing a player with such high ownership is not something everyone will feel comfortable with, but I do quite like the sound of this move.

Pukki probably won’t continue scoring at his current rate, but to counter that his overall numbers are still quite encouraging, and it isn’t just goal threat he brings – I think he’ll add several assists to his tally over the forthcoming months.

Norwich City haven’t had an easy start to life in the Premier League either with games against West Ham United, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Liverpool, and even if he regresses a little, he’ll still offer value.

But… Ashley Barnes is someone I like a lot, he’s a player I’ve previously owned, and from the second half of last season till now, his shots in the box and xG numbers are right up there with the best of them. Both he and Dwight McNeil are interesting options now Burnley’s fixtures have turned, and that is the reason I’d be tempted.

“Whilst Pukki faces Manchester City, plus away trips to Burnley and Crystal Palace over the next three, Barnes is up against Brighton & Hove Albion and two of the newly promoted sides, Norwich City and Aston Villa.

“Other options worth considering, and they need to be nailed if playing a 4-5-1 each week, are Sébastien Haller or, if you have any extra money lying around, Jamie Vardy.”

Aleksander: “First I would like to express my concern for the 4-5-1 formation in general. If your main striker doesn’t play you can only call on (probably) two 4.5 options from the bench while you also have inflexibility if a lot of mid-range strikers start to deliver. This price bracket has started this season really well which makes the 4-5-1 a no go for me.   

“Pukki has a difficult match next, but then okay fixtures from Gameweek 6 to 12. Four of those are away, but I assume that the home teams won’t sit back against Norwich and that could give Pukki rooms to shine in those matches as well. Le’ts hope the West Ham game was a oneoff. 

“Barnes has of course shown in 2019 that he can score a lot of goals, so choosing between them is a coin toss in my book. I don’t think you should consider ownership at all when making your decisions this early in the season. Pukkis high ownership is more than anything an opportunity for you to gain some serious green arrows if you dare to sell him. 

“If you are decided to go 4-5-1 and want to pick only one striker I would go someone a bit more expansive like Abraham, Haller or Wilson. This is to make sure you have an easy switch to whatever mid-price striker that pass your eye test in Gameweeks to come.

“In this range, my advice would be Haller with semi-appealing fixtures and excellent service from the trio behind him. The Haller idea is a bit more caution way of playing, and something I like to do to avoid hits. But each to their own, and the more risky play is to move Pukki to Barnes. For information, my front three is currently Haller, Barnes and Pukki so I like the prospect of all three.”

With Spurs back to full strength (Alli is back, Eriksen stays, Son back), does it make Kane a good pick?

Tom: “On the face of it, Spurs haven’t had a bad start to the season, having drawn at champions Manchester City and North London rivals Arsenal, whilst beating Aston Villa on the opening day.

“Only the 1-0 home loss to Newcastle United you’d consider a poor result, but for anyone who’s watched them this season, they aren’t quite clicking, and this is concerning if you have 11.0 invested in Harry Kane.

“Despite Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min returning, the issue I have with Spurs is they haven’t been very good for quite a while now. Their league performances in 2019 have been average at best and their record reads played 22, won nine, drawn four and lost nine.

“Will they improve? Well, the return of Tanguy Ndombele will help in central midfield. Christian Eriksen will get more minutes now he’s staying, and he makes Spurs a much better team, so you’d expect to see their level increase over the next run of fixtures, which are kind, but it’s not guaranteed.

“What’s clear is Harry Kane is regularly dropping deep, even more so when Eriksen doesn’t play. He had a quiet North London derby and despite converting his penalty, he also only took two shots from open play. To be fair to him, the whole team struggled creatively, but to compete with other premium assets he needs more service in and around the box.

“If I owned Kane, I’d be tempted to make a move to Sergio Agüero or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang till we see evidence of this happening regularly.

Greyhead: “Here comes the Kane! Tough one to grapple with as everything points to Harry being a strong pick with great fixtures, four goals whilst on international duty and he has even broken the August curse.

“To your point, the Spurs attack will be strengthened with Son, Alli now in contention and Eriksen hanging around for a bit longer at least, so why are we hesitating?

“Well quite simply for those opting for a premium forward formation he has to compete with Aguero, the City man has better xG (2.76 vs 1.92), better shot accuracy (six shots on target compared to four) and less than half the minutes per shot on target (44.5 vs 90).

There is the argument that Kane is more guaranteed of minutes but he also has the dark cloud of the Newcastle game hanging over him and from an eye test he looks laboured.

“There is also the fear that he will start to drop into a deeper role with Son now back, so all these nagging doubts whilst the City and Liverpool premium assets flourish put me off investment for now.

“If you have him then I wouldn’t throw him over the top rope just yet as he may well hulk up and Kane-mania might start running wild but on the other hand I wouldn’t advise adding him to your stable when there are other such enticing options.”

Should I spend more in defence to have Virgil van Dijk or go for a similar priced mid/forward like Mount, James or Barnes? 

FPL Hints: “Before the season started, I thought Van Dijk would be a mainstay in my team until May.  After all, he was priced £0.5m cheaper than Robertson despite only scoring five points fewer than him.

“I’ve since upgraded to Alexander-Arnold due to his supplementary attacking prowess.  In any case, Van Dijk cuts a formidable figure in the Liverpool defence and there are still slight questions on whether James and Mount (similar price bracket) will regularly start, let alone continue their spree of regularly Fantasy returns.

“It will be telling to see if James will start regularly in the Europa League or Champions League after the international break.  Also, a case can only be made to spend a bit more on Abrahams instead of Mount. 

“As for Barnes, it’s hard to ignore him, especially with his generous fixture run and lack of midweek European commitments.  Clearly, we all need a premium Liverpool defender and Van Dijk is a safer and reliable option (and cheaper than Alexander-Arnold).  You can easily fit all four of the players named above if you wanted but for now, I personally won’t take a risk on Mount and James.”

Legomané: “As an owner of VVD, Mount and Barnes, my simple answer is why not have them all?

“Identifying whether or not there is a correct time to abandon the Liverpool defence feels like a season-defining decision. I am currently operating with a double up (TAA) in a 4-4-2, so offloading VVD to facilitate a switch to 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 in the near future has certainly crossed my mind.

“The issues for me are practicality, personnel and timing. This week ahead of an appealing Newcastle home tie does not strike me as the opportune moment to move away.

“However, the following fixture run of CHE-shu-LEI-mun-TOT-avl-MCI does not necessarily scream multiple straightforward clean sheets. Of course, news of an imminent return for Alisson in goal would encourage greater stability at the back.

“Practically speaking, without additional funds, a straight swap doesn’t feel particularly appealing. None of my affordable watchlist picks (Iwobi, McGinn, Ceballos, Yarmolenko) inspires the confidence owning VVD brings at present. Not yet. The likes of Maddison, Abraham and Haller are all just out of reach.

“For non-owners, I could certainly get on board with a swap to Ashley Barnes in Gameweek 6 or Mason Mount in Gameweek 7 – both players have terrific underlying stats and are approaching some rather delicious fixtures. It’s all just a matter of timing.”

With Burnley’s good upcoming fixtures, loads will be hopping on the Barnes bandwagon. Is Wood a decent differential alternative?

Greyhead: “The Burnley front two always remind me a bit of the Minogue sisters with Barnes the more successful eye catching Kylie and Wood well, he’s the other one.

When I first thought about this I was tempted by the New Zealander, he’s cheaper, has the same great fixtures and was only a couple behind Barnes in goals scored last season.

“Then someone much smarter than me pointed me towards Kylie, sorry I mean Ashley’s stats. Barnes is in the top three forwards for shots at 15 with 11 of those inside the box and an xG 2.04 so he is competing with the best in terms of current form.

“He has done this with a mixed set of fixtures so the signs are good with the likes of Norwich and Brighton to come.

“I have no doubt that Wood will improve and will get a goal or two over the next few weeks but I would be looking to the locomotion of the Barnes train as in this case it’s better the devil you know.”

      I would go with Pope over Gunn too, mainly because of fixtures being great.
      Kelly minutes seem to be threatened now that Sakho and Tompkins are back

    Just noticed I've been priced out 0.1 by doimg Jota > Barnes. That's the cost of waiting with the transfers I guess. Hate IB's. Not sure what to do now. My bench is awfu (Rico, Drinkwater, Greenwood)

    A. Start Jota (who's been shocking so far) against Chelsea.
    B. Sell for Wesley / West Ham home
    C. Save FT

          This is why I'm playing McGinn 🙂

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      ah too bad, I dont mind getting priced out of some players but getting priced out of Barnes would really suck

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yup. Really annoying. Was planning this even before the last GW. Worried about injuries during the IB made me wait pulling the trigger -_-

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          you probably still want Barnes right, so maybe just hold for now and do 2 tf's next week or something?

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Could be the sensible thimg to do actually. Give him one final chance. Chelsea's defense have been pretty poor. And then I can get Barnes against Norwich. Ty

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'm usually taking a few early transfers chasing rises and what-not early on in the season. Got in KDB early this week and luckily he was not injured (knock on wood).

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            You win some you lose some. During the IB it's a huge risk to do them early if you don't have WC or at least 2 FT's.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yuup

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years

      C, Jota no international minutes will be fresh and can do damage against that Chelsea defence

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        That's true. Just tired of him blanking.

  11. 3 A

    Ignore Aguero and just have Sterling at your own risk.

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years

      Sterling to aguero aint easy

    2. have you seen cyan

      i fear no man

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      I got in KDB for free.. along with Sterling.. expecting fireworks. Also would have cost me a transfer had I gone Tammy to Kun.

      I have Ederson, Sterling and Aguero but not owning KDB will really hurt me

      I guess it is too hard to have Sterling, KDB and Aguero but that would be optimum 3.

    I need to shift Laporte & Perez.
    I have 1.5 itb, but only 1 transfer.

    Quite happy to start Lundstram this week, so don’t NEED to take the hit.
    With that in mind, would you replace Perez or Laporte? And for who?

    Otamendi (leaves 2.5itb for Perez next week)
    Pieters (+3.3)
    Martial (0itb)
    Other moves...?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years

      The ota one... Play Lund.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Laporte -> Otamendi and play Lundstram.

    3. Bram

      Ota +2.5. Unless you don't own TAA that is.

    is vardy and trossard to richarlison and barnes stupid for a -8? I dont want to ditch Vardy that much but im going to have to play Ake or Cantwell this week for Trossard.
    I know Rich isnt popular here it seems but brace last game, and vs Bournemouth this week. Good shout surely, and well I will bring Barnes in at some point shortly anyway. -8 im really not keen on but could it pay off straight away?>

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      I'd keep Vardy

    2. Royal5

      yea thought about it just then actually and I can just do trossard to james or someone for just a -4 if needs be.

    wtf Martial hasn't dropped yet.. any updates on whether he'll be back this gw?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      i think tbh the game has or will lose a big group of casual players from this international break, some will never relog. I reckon total guess like 150,000 players dont return and alot of them were probably the hit happy ones, so price changes lessening

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        although it is highly dubious how Kane wasnt dropping nor Martial, Kane was on the list to drop on fpl stats like 4 days in a row at like 102- a while ago. Sure they say its out of whack but for him to survive so many, meh seems fishy to me.

        1. waldo666

          100% fishy.

            ? He was meant to be dropping like 4 days in a row, when it was I dont remember but he was. Your annoying liek the guy in your grav, I guess thats why u chose it. And in regards to the point about casuals if you cant comprehend my points then you're stupid also frankly.

            1. George Sillett

              English isn't your strong point is it ?
              Was he dropping 4 days in a row at 102 or like 4 days in a row at like 102 ?
              Rather simple yourself aren't you ?

                      For your information it is you that very likely has this wrong . This "like" insertion into sentences is a very British development over the last few years amongst teenagers so please get your facts right before you go instructing people to stfu.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This "casual player" thing tends to become a bit of an obsession for a few on here. Why do you think that this IB is so significant and how can you conclude that a lot of them were "the hit happy ones" ? Why will price changes lessen ? The proportion of overall players by your theory making transfers will sway prices more than previously as the overall number of players being bought and sold will diminish and therefore gains / losses will be more significant,.

    B. KDB Masuaku -4

    1. Pep Roulette

      A

  21. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    How is she looking?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Digne Otamendi Soyunucu (Lundstram)
    Salah Pepe DSilva (Guendouzi Dendo)
    Aguero Haller Barnes

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      She looks a bit dodgy in midfielddefence and forwards good though.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        midfield, defence....*

      2. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Midfield, I agree! Why defence? It's pretty template actually!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Oh, it was a joined on type, i was jsut saying defence and forwards are good mate.

          1. Pep Roulette
            • 6 Years

            Ohkay! Thanks mate!

    2. Cahill17
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Def and Att are great. and but what if you went Aguero to Aubo to cover arsenal fixtures and Pepe to KDB?

      But honestly, i think the team looks great. I do not too keen playing three midprice upfront

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Mids are where it's at this season.

      2. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        KDB & DSilva without Aguero/Sterling too risky! Isn't it?

  22. jia you

    Before there are loads of questions - Aguero only played 26 mins in the testemonial.

  24. Cahill17
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Money no issue, should I go for Haller or Barnes for Jota.

    Don't want Tammy as I already have Mount and there fixture are not the best and already have Pukki

    Another option is I could go up to C.Wilson after seeling jota I have 8.2 to spend on a forward. But as I am an Everton fan I am not too keen no betting against my own team lol.

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would still go Tammy with Mount, but from the two, i'd certainly go Haller

      1. Cahill17
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        To be honest leaning towards Haller over Barnes. In terms of Tammy, I am just worried about his fixtures in the next two, wov,LIV are not great attaching fixtures. And i don't want two attaching Chesla player during this time. But i will be looking at tammy adter the Liverpool game

  25. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes imo

  27. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years

    Better option here?

    A) Haller + Ota

    B) Rashford + 5.1M defender

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A) by some way imo

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No idea where the contest is, option A every day every time.

      SOK

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years

      Currently on KDB and Sterling. Very worried of not owning Kun but went with Auba instead.

  30. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Which team?

    A)
    Pope
    TAA / Pieters / Otamendi / Lund
    Salah / KDB / Son / D.Silva
    Pukki / Kane

    B)
    Pope
    TAA / Otamendi / Pieters / Lund
    Salah / KDB / James
    Auba / Kane / Pukki

    C)
    Pope
    VVD / Otamendi / AWB / Lund
    Salah / KDB / Martial
    Pukki / Kane / C.Wilson

    1. Dutchy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. Cahill17
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Out of those options, I would go A.

        B) too much money upfront

        C) No city or arsenal attaching cover

        Even with team A, I would like either Ageruo or Sterling in my team feel comfortable and IMO you do not need two players from spurs. Maybe downgrade Silva and get Ageruo for Kane?

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Out of those three A) for me (prefer a punt on Pepe over Son though especially as it seems you're set on Harry!)
