The FPL line-up lessons we learned from Gameweek 5

Why next week?

Chelsea?

why?

I've had similar thoughts (my team below), but I just know that Liv double up is going to come good soon.

I am close (Coleman and VvD are slightly cheaper).

Easy hit 😉
Sterling+mount+greenwood out

Could you downgrade robbo and digne and upgrade mount to son? Or..
Robbo > Otamendi
Sterling > Cantwell
Greenwood > Aguero
- 4 but if you think Sterling is benched then it could pay off as your bench is weak.
Bench mount for one week as hopefully back for good fixtures.

sterling to KDB

I agree with this. I’m beginning to think sterling isn’t as “safe” a captaincy choice every week as Salah if that makes sense

I think I'm defaulting back to him now after the minutes from Sterling this morning.

I'm surprised as well. Chelsea are leaky and Salah scores home and away

got to go with Sterling 3rd time in a row, this time he will haul, if he plays hehe

If it was a home fixture I'd go for it but put off by it being away from home

In the box a bit more, unlucky I think.

Should have scored twice IMHO.

Probably pay off. Cantwell better than greenwood too so it's an upgrade.

*sorry Mané over Salah

Woow djenepo
One of my favourites. His two goals were awesome (last one at shff...imagine if was one of the messi or CR scoring)
He reminds of Mane..even on same team 😉

Planning something similar. Had Zouma ftom the start with ,25 average ppm, so Tomori is s question mark for me.

Tomori And Rico won’t play much IMHO.

Very nice

Why not. Auba has some great fixtures and Zaha's underlying stats are great

Leave it. Unless you switch mount for a week as you have 2FT - or just play 442 this week and bench Mount. You never know he might play anyway. Wait for pressers

Aguero is the best choice but I'd be tempted to punt on Auba with his fixtures.

Aubameyang. Great fixtures, will play up top with Laca out, natural scorer

Aguero minutes may be managed though looks great in short term
Kane really unconvincing so far playing OOP

B.

B makes more sense because you're replacing one quality Liverpool attacker with another as opposed to a City defender for a Leicester one.

Having said that, I strongly believe that Salah is a better option than Mane and would want to keep him at all costs.

Thank you both. Appreciated

A

Not this week. Hold fire

It's a tough one. Gut feeling says B just because of Aguero vs Kane. I prefer the remainder of A though so its tough. Is there a way to get Aguero and Otamendi or James?

A but only just. Have Ceballos myself but still a bit unconvinced. Aguero in great form but A has 3 starters.

B

I like them all haha! A is clearly the biggest upgrade though. Replacing bench fodder for a guy with something like 7 goals already? No brainer imho.

Agree with Leo, all 3 look good and I am doing A for a hit. But given its liverpool next for Tammy, in your shoes I'd go B, just because the upgrade of Son over Siggy is so much more substantial than Auba over Vardy

C this week, nice fixture for ARS

I was wondering this earlier actually. Heaton at 4.5 looks the way to go IMO purely for the fixtures. Both have the same amount of CS so far but Gunn outscoring slightly based on save points which is always nice but also points to a weaker defence in front so less CS potential overall.

Not a for sure. Son is nice but other two not. I'd go C over B for sure

Is Silva necessary? The rotation would scare me. I'd go C though because Chelsea's fixtures are amazing. Would also maybe look at Otamendi instead of Zinchenko just for the fact he's cheaper and more nailed in that time frame.

C although with Mendy back, Zinc may be at threat of rotation.

I'd go Lowton just for the fact he's cheapest.

Tough choice but sadly no midfielder from both delivers so .. it will be down to Vardy Vs. Tammy ... So A

Abraham and Maddison.

hmm, just saw this as well

Potential for Rodri and Walker to play CB

I think maybe sit tight this week? Understand your worries but trying to predict City is tough enough that whatever you do might not be worth the -4?

Then you'll have a clearer idea next week?

It’s really a huge gamble. KDB should be fine so keep him. Some think Sterling definitely starts still, others (probably non owners) think he’ll definitely be benched, others of us have no clue and just want a good week for once!

Not nailed and in a leaky defence and he won't be scoring 30 yarders every week. Go for Rico depending on what you can do with the cash or look at the likes of soyunku, mings & lowton

Mcginn, got no confidence in ceballos as an fpl asset. Both could easily be 2 pointers though.

Nice punt if you dont have bench cover for Mount. How much more will it cost you to put him back in your WC team?

If you are certain you're wildcarding next week, I don't see why not.

I wouldn't go as far as saying he "surely" starts, but then again, Mount is probably not starting anyway, so there you go.

The game just bores me tbh so stopped playing it, not a patch on FPL!

That’s what I’m thinking? Very nervous but I thought of that logic too... fingers bloody crossed he starts and hauls.

Doubt it, with sane out injured he'll play pretty much every pl game & ucl game and sit out the cups imo.

nope he will get a breather midweek with the cup...

All none of them.

Martial, James and Mount in order.

He could.
