What impact will Rose’s arrival at Newcastle have on FPL?

The arrival of Danny Rose (£5.3m) at Newcastle United has added a new dimension to the options at St. James’ Park.

The former Spurs left-back joins Steve Bruce’s squad with plenty of Premier League and European experience, which bodes well for the Magpies.

However, it is unclear at this point whether or not Rose will have any impact on the Fantasy Premier League scene.

That’s what we hope to achieve by assessing what he achieved at Spurs in the first half of the campaign and taking an early look at Rose’s initial contributions to Newcastle.

      Most definitely B

        Thanks B is for a hit -4

          Your projected transfers should gain back that -4 over the next 5 or 6 weeks. I'd go for it. My team is not dissimilar and I'm certainly not WC'ing this week.

    2. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years

      Imma say option B
      I’ve wildcarded already and I feel there’s so many twists to happen those patient enough to have it as an option will benefit
      Also you can field good teams for next few weeks already

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks B for a hit though

      B

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years

        Thanks even for a -4

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes. 2 non players for 2 with a good fixture.

  2. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Chances Kun, KDB and Mahrez play 0 minute so I can get Williams' 5 pointer off the bench?

    1. reo19uk
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      surely if they play each of them will get more than 5 points so really you want them all to play!

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Youre onto something mate. But those 5 points look tasty!

        1. reo19uk
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          3 CIty players in an easy game or 5 points! Seems an easy choice to me there!

  3. FOO FIGHTER

    Why does Bruno Fernandes feel like a trap i.e. all UTD's other assets.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This time it'll be different...

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Because he hasnt shown any promise to actually score goals, which means there are better midfield picks (those who score goals themselves)

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Does feel like he's being built up into something he's probably not (yet).

      I can't believe I just said that...

      I think he's been good as a player for United in 2 matches, but in terms of FPL not so sure just yet. Most set pieces is nice (pens remains to be seen), and the combo with Maguire could happen a few more times.

      But I'd like to see him get forward more and into the box.

      Just not sure how much I'd trust the other players around him at the moment

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. Excellent player, but the other attacking players around him are going to severely stunt his output. Rashford and Pogba are huge losses in that attack. Who else is at Premier League standard? James, Andreas, Lingard aren't good enough for the first team, and Martial is inconsistent. Greenwood has potential but isn't playing. Without Rashford and Pogba, I can't see where the quality is to support him.

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Maybe because they have scored 2 goals in last 4 games

            Scored a brace last time he played Villa.

              • 5 Years

              Worst home record vs second worst away record, hope it's a goalfest.

      Is Soy -> Boly worth a transfer?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'd keep soy fixtures are nice .

      2. Champions League Varane

        no do it in GW 31

      3. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. No other players you want to get rid of?

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Had Rose on my team when Eriksen was a must have Spurs asset back in the day.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Do have a bit of a soft spot for Danny Rose but that kind of cash for a Newcastle defender is hard to take!

    4. lastmanback
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rookie error alert. Took a 4 pt hit to get in Son (pre injury) and Boly, now torn whether I turn it into an 8pt hit to switch Son to Richarlson or play Wildcard.

      Wildcard would involve about 5 further transfers, but only in positions like backup keeper, removing kelly as last defender, replacing midfield bench fodder etc.

      Generally happy with team other than the bench fodder so don't feel I need a WC, but an 8pt hit for Richarlson and Boly?

      1. jimski
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wildcard worth more than an extra -4. Either stick with Son for a week, or take another hit.

      2. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A wildcard off the back of an unfortunate mistake doesn't sound like the right move to me

      3. lastmanback
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks folks. Always get caught once a year by an early transfer injury. Need to learn patience in my transfers!

      4. Rollercoaster
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        During this extremely long gw with also CL and Europa-league it's definitely best to wait till fri-sat before any transfers, but I'm rolling this gw, have 4 players that don't play gw 28 so want 2 FT in gw 28

        1. lastmanback
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Had exact funds and figures Son would rise by the weekend

        4 years, 1 month ago

        1: who' on your bench at the mo?
        2: what's your plan for BGWs & DGWs? might need to keep WC?

        1. lastmanback
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Current bench is Stephens, Cantwell, and Kelly. Would like to keep WC for a DGW, should be fine for upcoming blank and will likely play FH for any other big blanks or doubles.

    5. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in a mini-league cash cup this week, so whilst i'm trying to keep an eye on the BGW, I also need to prioritise this coming GW.

      With 2 FTs i can do
      DCL & Aguero -> Ings & Auba

      Current team
      Foster
      TAA Lund Stephens
      KDB Salah Grealish Martial
      Aguero DCL Firmino
      ----------------------
      Button, Rico, Williams, Hoyden

      Any pearls of wisdom?

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not sold on Auba personally, especially if he stays on that wing
        I would be tempted to keep DCL and have a decent sub

        Aguero > ings?
        Martial > Mane?

        1. Your Man With The Hair
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I never really understand the hesitancy around Auba. His goal scoring record is fantastic.
          DCLs fixtures have we wanting him out asap.
          Maxed out on Pool already.

    6. TimetoplaytheKane

      Why was Mane removed at HT ,was he removed as a precaution to his yellow card or he got injured ? Any concrete news?

        Not an injury apparently, just the pre-caution you mentioned it seems

          There are plenty of other sites you can anonymously reveal your controversial opinions.

    8. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My guess is KUN, Mahrez and KDB are benched for CL. City HAVE to win CL now with the ban (pending appeal). Bsilva, Gundagun and Jesus start.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They can't not play for almost 3 weeks though either.

        1. ‘Tis the Season
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          To avoid injury, very likely. They train during the week mate, it isn’t Sunday league

        2. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          This.
          If none them start vs WH, Leicester will be there first game in 3 weeks.

          With RM on the horizon cant see them all benched.

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Not all no. I expect them all to start tonight, then have limited mins at Leicester (60 or 30)

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        So you mean they will get benched vs Leicester? i agree, some of them at least.

        But they are starting tonight

      3. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No problemo. Soy comes in with 7.

      4. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Don't worry -- I suspect that they'all play and the first two will score a bucketload.

    9. zotter
      • 14 Years

      Increasingly tempted to do firmino kdb to jiminez mane. Have salah but would captain mane

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is that for a hit?

        I've looked at similar. Son+Firmino to Mane+£8m forward (maybe Tammy if fit)

        1. zotter
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes for a hit

        2. zotter
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You already have Jimi and ings I assume ?

            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            yup! Probably be a bit of an easier decision if I didn't

            1. zotter
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I might just do Grealish to traore instead

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Im prob doing VVD, Grealish (or KDB) and Aguero to Boly (or Doherty if KDB out instead of Grealish), Mané and Jimenez.

        1. zotter
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Why not just kdb and aguero to mane and jiminez ?

          Vvd > Doherty

          Or do you need a Liverpool spot ?

    10. Ci Siamo

      Please start tonight Mahrez......please

        He will

    11. zotter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      With champs league slightly at risk now for Liverpool I think they may take the Chelsea cup game more seriously. As a consequence can see Watford and especially Bournemouth games with rotation risk ....

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I doubt it. Klopp will prioritise games vs Watford and Bournemouth and wont care abt Chelsea game in FA Cup

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          They are not out of UCL u know...

          1. zotter
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I know but they don’t know if they are through or not by the Chelsea game

            1. zotter
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              The positive is if they do get knocked out they will go all out in league for invincible

            2. Pieterke30
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I expect the Chelsea game to be the game when he rests who he wants to rest before Atleti 2nd leg

              1. zotter
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Surely Bournemouth game? That’s as easy as it gets... and is the game right before second leg

      2. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Unfortunately I think they'll smash Atletico at Anfield.

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          The can do. They can also just win 2-1, which would not suffice.

        2. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Lol. Liverpool fan here and think we wont smash them.

          Did you know that Atletico was defeated in CL knockout stages only from Cristiano Ronaldo teams?

          And Liverpool dont have player like that tbf

      @Andy , as I could not respond on the thread. Yeah off topic from FPL but there are many convos on the site that are not FPL related yeah. Easier to let the conversation grow and die than to intervene imo

      1. Son to Mane
      2. Or go double Pool defence which will allow me to do DCL to Jimi also but the problem in this case is who to replace son with? currently have Salah, KDB, Grealish and dendo and son*.
