Why I’m making a move for Adama Traore with an eye on Double Gameweek 24

Let’s Talk FPL’s Andy looks at ways of funding a Liverpool triple-up ahead of Double Gameweek 24.


One step forward, two steps back. That’s the story of my Fantasy Premier League season so far.

The high of my captain Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) scoring in the 95th minute had set me up for jubilation on Saturday evening, only for the decision of not captaining Sadio Mané (£12.3m) or Kevin De Bruyne (£10.5m) to bring me crashing back to reality with yet another red arrow and a rank of 592,933.

What I’m finding is mistakes are bringing indecision. Selling Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) in Gameweek 18 turned out to be a huge error. Going into Gameweek 20 I decided to hold my transfers instead of taking a further hit to bring in the Liverpool right-back along with Anthony Martial (£7.9m). That turned out to be another mistake.

When things are going well it’s easy to feel like you’ll keep making the right decision; I find the opposite happens when things are going badly.

If I’d had three green arrows over Christmas I think I’d have already made my decision for Gameweek 21. Instead I sit here writing this wondering whether taking out Dele Alli (£8.9m) before Southampton is the right call. If I make that transfer who do I bring in? There’s Martial, which may mean losing Rashford later on to fund three Liverpool players, or I could just bring in Adama Traoré (£5.5m), who would make the money situation a lot easier.

Is this a case of overthinking or not thinking enough? Is Traoré really the answer? I’m not sure any more and the buzz of sugar from all of the Christmas chocolate and mince pies isn’t helping me think clearly.

I continue to look at my team on paper and am quite happy with it. There’s certainly a Liverpool defender-shaped hole which I’ll rectify soon but other than that, it looks good.

Two free transfers means I have to make a move this week though and with Mané my only Liverpool player, I have to think ahead to how I get two more – hence losing Alli this week.

I can’t watch many more Liverpool matches without owning Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool have a full-back who can pass like De Bruyne and it’s a difficult watch for a non-owner.

This is where Traoré comes in. He lets me get three Liverpool players in just three moves. Given that I can only triple captain one, I’m currently leaning towards double defence instead of attack as going for Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) would mean losing De Bruyne. I think fixtures from Gameweek 24 onwards make it viable but it’s still a tough call. 

When you compare Martial and Traoré it doesn’t actually make for bad reading over the last four Gameweeks. The Wolves winger has created more chances and had more goal attempts, although not as many in the box. The quality of the assist potential looks good as well and it’s even better when you consider Wolves have played Spurs, Man City and Liverpool over those fixtures. 

You’d expect Martial to continue to get the better chances in front of goal but the £2.4m difference cannot be ignored.

According to FPL, Traoré is the second-best midfielder in terms of value over the season (based on points per million) and that doesn’t take into account that he played some of the earlier matches at wing-back. 

Given Wolves rested key players in Gameweek 20, I think Watford away might not be as bad a fixture as it may have looked since Nigel Pearson came in. With Newcastle and Southampton to follow, I think I’ve just about talked myself into buying Traoré.

That’s right, I’m going to buy Adama Traoré. At some point in May I’ll look back at where it all went wrong this season. There’s a few key talking points and this may well be one of them.

    I think I messed up, Is it too late to use the first wildcard now?

      yep

    2. how now brown cow

      It is, but don't worry. My wildcard probably made things worse.

      Defo...

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Yes! Nice team

  3. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A very bad start the gameweek turned into a great one in the end somehow ....!? 79 points and a large rank climb to position 4618 overall. Nose bleed uncharted territory for me, best finish was just missing out on top 10k a couple years back. I strive for the top 1% as a success generally. Also scraped through in the cup, a Lundstram appearance might have knocked me out.

    Anyway, I have 2FT. I’ve never not used on I don’t think. Gut says hold.... but I do want rid of Gaza it’s soon and have no funds in bank, so should maybe use it to free funds. Dump Moura maybe? Maybe Maddison, or Rashford so no double up?
    Who for? I’d really appreciate thoughts.....

    Team is
    Gazzaniga, McCarthy
    TAA, Soyuncu, Aurier, Lundstram, Kelly
    Mane, De Bruyne, MartIal, Moura, Maddison
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings

    Hope everyone had a good Xmas and has some good New Year plans (apart from all the games on Wednesday of course!)

      Keep the good work mate, only 18 GWs to go 😀

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah. My aim is my mini league and as good as can OR.
        Used bench boost, wasn’t huge success and first wildcard. Glad I didn’t hold it till the end as happy with team overall (apart from during games when everything else looks better!!)

        How you doing?

    2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years

      No reply?

      This is like foreplay with the wife..... loads finger action and effort.... no response....

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be tempted to downgrade Moura (Traore?) and start saving for Aurier to Robbo in a few weeks.

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Was thinking moura or Maddison to traore, but only concern is the rotation ( I expect mane to be rested this week) anmoura or Maddison could score big.... one will be on my bench.
        Don’t fancy wolves or traore hugely ..... city aside, he hasn’t been spectacular points wise.
        These decisions are so hard!!!

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          You've got benching headaches anyway. Any plans for Liverpool DGW?

          I'm considering getting Maddsion in for what it's worth.

          1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            This time of year it was planned for, I expect my bench to be called on .... like this week with no Vardy and soy. So happy with headaches until fa cup 3rd round out of way
            Not sure yet. Rotation risky for Liverpool that DGW I feel. So not planning on salah And mane.
            Maybe bring Gomez if matip isn’t back.
            What’s your plans for that week?
            Maybe fab for save points as both keepers I have are rubbish. Want to somehow raise the .4 I need for a gaz fab upgrade

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I think fab is usually a good choice anyway.

              I have low tv so no way of getting mane and salah without ditching kdb. I'll probably double up on robbo.

    4. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Moura and gazzaniga out for a 4.0 gk and a cheap mf.
      Then save up money for either Salah or Robbo in dgw 24.

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        McCarthy gets no points though.... I need a first choice....!

  4. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    No pressing issues but with 1FT would you get rid of Nakamba for another 4.5 midfielder who plays more regularly or stick it out?

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Who you have in mind.

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Dendoncker / Tettey

        1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe as they play each week, but not gonna get you any more points really unless a fluke happens and you have them come in autosub....

        Maupay > DCL next week to avoid City ... Grealish > Maddison I can do this week Y or N? Martial is ok I think ...

          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I’d say so yes. I was gonna ditch Maddison, but will defo start you’d think.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Ok, bench Maupay or Traore if so

            1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Decisions this time of year are tough. I don’t fancy Maupay myself, but could easily score a goal against Chelsea!

        Brighton's a good fixture though and chelsea better away

        2. Tempestic
          • 5 Years

          Jimmy's a great option don't get me wrong and I regret selling him but it also seems pretty short term for just the next 3 good fixtrues

            • 5 Years

            Ok your decision mate ... maybe Grealish out but the price bracket is more difficult GL!

            1. Tempestic
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Thanks for ur help. Could do Grealish to Traore and then next week do greenwood to DCL for Everton's good fixtures?

              1. Tempestic
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                but tbh do I really want Traore? Probably not

    2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years

      Ditch Tammy ..... fixtures not good

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years

      Tammy ➡ Jimi or rash. Digne ti sidibe if u need funds.

    4. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hmm thanks guys, seems like the verdict is Tammy out. Still not 100% sold but his ownership is lower nowadays so punishment wouldn't be too awful if it did backfire in the short term.

    5. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Have exaxct funds to do Tammy, Grealish, Digne > Jimenez, Maddison, Sidibe (-4) but I reckon its just stupid when I'm taking out 3 in form players for 3 more in form players

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Can you afford to not do one... eg the midfield swap?

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes I could do Tammy > Jimenez, Digne > Sidibe but I wouldn't want to unless I was upgrading Grealish also

    5. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years

      According to a interview with solskjaer he will play more against weaker opponents in the future, because he’s a better attacker than Shaw.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!
        The question is if he is worth to have (on WC)

        1. Big Al Stankovic
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          For that price I’d say Yes. He rarely gets subbed in when he’s benched. Just play him in easy fixtures and have a good backup.

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Would like to have him. Problem is would have to start him/Digne/Lord this gameweek, all with tough fixtures.
            Anyway, thanks!

      • 9 Years

      Hopefully he plays Antonio as a striker

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Actually, he could be the one.

        1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Easily guide that team to safety.
          I can’t recall his team setup at West Ham last time, what was his line up
          I’ve always been fond of Antonio and lanzini... so have eyes on them.... and Fab

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I have the memory of a leaky bucket but I like all three of those you mention.

            I will be bringing in one this week for the giggles though.

      Flappyhandsky & Hendo is a juicy rotation:

      BOU, WHM, EVE, DGW, BHA, BOU, BHA, SOU

      In this newfangled world of 107.0+ TV’s the money has to go somewhere

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years

        Good Stuff!

        Flappy actually could work, they will bounce I reckon and the Cherries first up. I likey.

    Ryan
    Aurier TAA Kelly
    Martial Grealish Alli KDB
    Jiminez Kane Rashford

    Button Dunk Mount Lundstram

    0.8m itb

    B - Kane + Mount -> Vardy + Maddison

    C - Something else

    1. Big Al Stankovic

      Kane rash Grealish :arrow Vardy Ings mane

  13. FPL Alaska
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Suggestions? Thinking about Tammy > either Ings or DCL in order to fund Alli to Salah before gameweeks 24, but when should I make the moves?
    1 FT, 2.8 ITB. Current squad:

    Ryan
    TAA - Soy - Kelly

    (Button; Rico, Dendocker, Lundstram)

    1. S.Kuqi

  15. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Play one;

    A) Cantwell (CRY)

    B) Grealish (bur)

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Play the cant, you know which.

    How does this team look?

    Pope

    Taylor TAA Soyunchu

    Traore KDB Mount Alli

    Abraham Kane Aguero(c)

    Leno Cantwell Kelly Lundstram

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years

      Too much Arsenal, not enough Liverpool.

      1. Big Al Stankovic
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        But seriously, I’d try to fit in mane or Salah.

  17. DALEDOBACK
    • 4 Years

    Any way of finding out total players in 11/12 season?

    1. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thank you

  18. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Salah better get a hatti this GW

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, modest return, don't want everyone rushing in...

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He is not like that anymore

    3. Axelron
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably getting rested this gw mate.

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nah. Mane more likely too

  19. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Best 5.8 or below mid to replace McTominay with the next month or so in mind?
    Is Traore the best pick?
    Cheers

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, Cantwell is okay for homes.

    2. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Traore if you need someone to play, if not just take Hayden or Dendo.

  20. rkpower1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is it time to move on Grealish, had an enjoyable few weeks with good returns but villa look terrible generally...

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going to give him one more gw and then he is out for Martial / Traore

    2. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If I could afford straight swap to martial then I'd do it.

      1. rkpower1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        If only I had the cash for that move, thinking of ditching him for Traore to beat the price rise tonight and save the cash

  21. SPFC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    2 FTs and I have no idea what to do. Thoughts?

    Pope
    TAA Aurier Chilwell

    Heaton Grealish Rico Lundstram

    1. rkpower1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha to Traore
      Moura to Alli

      Cash permitting of course

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Keep Moura this week

      2. SPFC
        • 8 Years

        2.9. Cheers

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just Zaha to bench fodde and save other ft

    2.6ITB, 1FT

    TAA - Rico - Aurier
    KDB - (S)alah - Alli - Zaha
    Pukki - Vardy - Ings

    Henderson, Lund, Kelly, Mout

    Was just going to hold the transfer

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Dont like it

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        no one ever likes my team, because its normally beating them. But yea it has some issues

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Zaha and Mount needs to go

          1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Second this
            I ditched both over last few weeks

        2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          How you doing this season?

  23. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lundstram is currently the top transfer out this week. 100K+. 🙂

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Let them sell. Season keeper

      1. rkpower1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with Shefki

      Thou who forsake the Lord shall expect his vengeance.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      2 cs in 9, injured and poor short term fixtures.

      Anyone who got him in fairly recently I can understand it.

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve been tempted to swap for Cathcart and get .3 in the bank to help upgrade gazz

    4. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      And 62K have brought in Baldock before LIV(A)!

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't see that. Good grief.

  24. jaguar shark
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Can do: VVD, Alli, Rashford to TAA, Salah, Ings over next two game weeks...

    Will give me:

    Ramsdale (Button)
    Rico, Lundstrom, Kelly, TAA, Soyuncu
    Mane, KDB, Salah, Adama, Cantwell
    Vardy, Jimenez, Ings

    Solid plan for GW 24??

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Feeling confident on VVD to TAA for FT this week... right?

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        TAA rest possibly ?

        1. jaguar shark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ohhh. Good call.

    2. More Cowbell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very solid.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sideways moves imo.

    4. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Solid!

  25. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Quick strawpoll please:

    a) Grealish > Traore
    b) Hold/save FT

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hold if you only have 1

    2. rkpower1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same predicament I am facing. Probably making the move to Traore tonight to beat price rise

      1. More Cowbell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm leaning that way myself currently.

        1. rkpower1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Every 0.1 counts and Grealish is currently first on my bench for this week anyway...

    3. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Fwiw, Adama looked GOOD the last two games.

  26. jimmyabs1987

    If you have already taken a -4 and then do more transfers but play wildcard, does that remove initial -4?

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  27. Dennis System
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Aubemayeng or Ageuro??

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero

    2. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero

    3. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Of I could get Aguero in i would
      He is going to go wild in January

  28. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Schmeichel
    TAA Aurier Rico Kelly
    Mane KDB Martial
    Kane Vardy Tammy

    Button Lundy D.Luiz Dendo

    2 FT 0 ITB

    Jiminez to Tammy & save another FT?

  29. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ok WC team, thoughts?

    Fabianski (Button)
    TAA, Dunk, Lund, Kelly, Hanley
    Salah, Mane, KDB, Traore, Mooy
    Ings, Vardy, Jiminez

    Current team:

    Gazz (Button)
    TAA, VVD, Lund, Kelly, Hanley
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Cantwell, Traore
    Kane, Vardy, Ings

    Is it worth the wildcard?

    1. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't WC personally.

    2. pjanns
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Both teams are great! Not sure it’s a Big upgrade

    3. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not worth it

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No.

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    5. jaguar shark

    2. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      V nice

    3. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You have 3 bench players not playing. And potential mane/salah/TAA rested which means maybe Dendonker in .... or a 10 man team.
      I’d be worried
