Pro Pundits - Ash

Who I’m considering as my FPL replacement for out-of-form Danny Ings

With some big Gameweeks on the horizon, I’ve got some big decisions to make about chips and my budget forwards.

Hopefully, they will prove less stressful than the ones I had to consider over the weekend.

It’s Saturday morning, minutes before the Gameweek 29 deadline, and I’ve yet to make my transfers. Clearly the Double Gameweek was a big draw for me.

I wanted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) due to his goal-scoring pedigree but to get him I had to take some hits.

With questions over Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) starting I was prepared to take a risk and sell him.

I decided to take out the in-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.4m) for Aubameyang but justified the move by still having Richarlison (£8.3m) as my Everton attacker.

I wanted some type of City cover, so Phil Foden (£5.1m) came to the fore as my plucky differential, with talk of him starting the Manchester City derby. That’s where I should have stopped.

But for some reason, I convinced myself that Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m) was going to roll over West Ham and Manchester City, so signed him in place of Anthony Martial (£7.9m).

Alas, none of those transfers paid off over the weekend and I scored under the average which always guarantees a red arrow. I now need to hope that Manchester City v Arsenal turns out to be a festival of goals with De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) having an off-day. Not asking for much, am I?

After recording four green arrows in a row, my FPL team seemed to be making the right kind of progress but Liverpool’s undoing against Watford was an unwanted fork in the road.

Ominous comments from Guardiola after City flop in Double Gameweek opener

Unfortunately, I tried to remedy that by investing in Double Gameweek 29 but that hasn’t gone to plan so far. I’m down 100,000+ places and really need a slice of luck to get some traction back.

On the plus side, I still have three chips in hand, the Wildcard, Free Hit and Bench Boost.

With another Blank Gameweek and at least one more Double Gameweek this season, I’m still hopeful for a much-needed lift.

As tempting as it may be, my initial thoughts on Blank Gameweek 31 is to refrain from using the Free Hit.

With my current squad, I have seven potential players who have a fixture that week and using my upcoming transfers I can get up to nine potential starters. After that, I can use my moves for Blank Gameweek 31 itself to bump my numbers up to 11 active players.

The only downside is that I would be following my -8 hit with two consecutive -4 hits. But once the final set of Double Gameweeks are announced I will be better placed to use my remaining chips.

After some blistering form between Gameweek 12 and Gameweek 22, Danny Ings (£7.1m) has recently struggled in front of goal. In fact, he’s only netted one league in his last seven Premier League appearances which is unacceptable, even for a so-called budget striker.

I also find it concerning that Ings has failed to register attacking returns against the likes of Aston Villa, West Ham and Newcastle United.

It might seem foolish selling him before Southampton’s trip to Norwich, but that’s what I intend to do. If I do sell Ings (and with Blank Gameweek 31 also in mind), my options are fairly limited, but in that price range, three players are on my shortlist – Jordan Ayew (£5.1m), Diogo Jota (£6.4m) and Troy Deeney (£6.2m).

All three have a similar number of attacking returns and minutes per point despite their total playing time since Gameweek 1 being significantly different.

Of note, Jota has scored 30 of his points in the past three Gameweeks, despite his poor conversion rate as a whole throughout the season.

Ayew has also been an inconsistent performer but has come back on the radar with two goals and an assist since Gameweek 27.

As for Deeney, with the exception of the match against Liverpool, his form of late hasn’t been great but he’s worth considering as Watford are fighting for survival and he is their main attacking output.

I already have Raul Jiménez (£8.0m) but I’m tempted to double and get Jota purely on Wolves’ generous fixture run, in comparison to Crystal Palace and Watford over the next two Gameweeks.

Metrics

With it still being mathematically possible for Liverpool to wrap up the Premier League in Gameweek 30, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) seems like a no-nonsense captain pick.

The fact they are playing Everton in the Merseyside derby also gives the occasion an extra edge. If I also had Sadio Mané (£12.4m), I probably would have considered captaining him too.

Having said that, one of the hang-ups of Double Gameweek 29 is that I will have Aubameyang still at hand and he could be a good armband shout against Brighton.

    Think I've settled on this team for GW31, would be a -4, but don't mind:

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Boly Taylor
    Salah Mane Sarr
    Jimenez Wood

    Bench: McCarthy Aubameyang Lascelles Hayden

    1. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Much stronger than mine if the GW goes to form you’ll have a great return
      Amazing as like you I’m struggling to find an asset in the spurs v West Ham game

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Same as me but I won't have Wood, though I could for a -4. Maybe I will yet.

    Anyone outside liverpool and Wolves we could target a GW early who plays in 31?

    Specifically looking at a Grealish replacement that plays in 31, wondering if best to hold jack one more game then move out or ditch now?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Scout Spurs tonight - 3rd best fixture on paper in GW31 and one of their players may catch the eye.

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        but spurs have united who arent conceding so not sure its a good move to do this week

      2. Young Lingard
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        I can’t find anyone in that fixture at all . Alli to me is overpriced and the others I’d only want for a week aren’t nailed. Would love a son return to raise an eyebrow

      3. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        On form I'd make West Ham favourites to beat Spurs xD

    2. Le Bluff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      I have enough in the bank to do Grealish > Alli this week.

      Utd are in great form but Alli has a lot of things going for him (OOP, pens, eye-test, stats).

      I'm also NOT free-hitting in GW 31, and Alli has some half decent fixtures so I think I'll go for him.

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        I think thats fair, Alli is good but I cant get to him.

        KDB to Alli seems too risky

    3. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Antonio or Bowen any good, slim pickings isnt it

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      I’m buying Bowen

  3. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Would you bench boost this?

    McCarthy Giroud Fernandez Stevens

    Henderson
    TAA Doherty Hanley
    Salah Pepe Fernandes Richarlison Cantwell
    Aguero DCL

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      i'd be tempted, that newcastle vs sheff utd game has 0-0 written all over it

    2. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Giroud should play over Cantwell
      Not sure if I would start DCL or Hanley
      Taking all of this into account I wouldn’t BB what will be left over

  4. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Play which one?

    A) Perez (wat)
    B) Lascelles (SHU)
    C) Saiss (whu)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      C

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      B

    3. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      B or C

  5. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    The Dinger was always going on a cold streak the second i brought him in, same with Traore

    1. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      The fortunate thing is most are forced to move him due to GW31
      My fear was that I’d got him at the wrong time and then I’d ponder an in form ings to an inform dcl but too late
      Thankfully that’s not an option
      I think I’ll grab deeney and then find a full time option post ge31

    2. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      What is your next transfer in ?

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Im keeping him for Norwich and FH31, then it’s an easy switch to DCL. This week VVD>Alonso

        1. The Strokes
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Alonso is a good move.
          Wont get cold this one.

  7. Dynamic Duos

    Have to keep Ings for Norwich, brace incoming

    1. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      I went for Jota 2 days ago. Preparing 31 GW ...
      Plus I'm unsure that Norwish defense is worst than WH

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Hopefully Southampton won't have a man sent off after 30 minutes though like they did against WH, pretty big factor.

        1. The Strokes
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Don't tell me, I had BB and had Ings + Stephens on my bench ...

  8. 2EyedTurk
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Am I correct in thinking that saving a transfer before a Free Hit is pointless? Thanks in advance

    1. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Yes after a FH you will have 1 transfer remaining

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      If your squad can't be improved with that FT it isn't pointless.

    3. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Yep. if free hitting in 31, no point saving a FT this week - best to use it up thinking about 34?

    4. Lloyd Xmas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Potential Increase of Team value?

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Correct - am FHing in 31 so no point banking a transfer as will come back to 1 FT in 32.

  9. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    What would you do here?

    A. Play Cantwell this gw.
    Gw 31: Gomez + KDB > Catchcart + Mane for free
    B. Traore > Doucoure this gw.
    Gw 31: Gomez + KDB > Saiss + Mane(-4)

    Hendo
    TAA - Gomez - Egan
    Salah - KDB - Bruno - Traore
    Auba - Jimenez - Jota

    (Pope - Basham - Cantwell - Taylor)

    1 FT 1.6 ITB.

  10. The Strokes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Bench 3 ?

    1. Saka (BHA A)
    2. Perez (Wat A)
    3. Stephens (Nor A)
    4. O’Connell (New A)
    5. VVD (Eve A)

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      123

      1. The Strokes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        I agree, I put them in the order I would bench them.

  11. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    I can field 7 by 31 without a hit.(5x now + 2x ft)

    Or, I can FH 31, and then field 9x without a hit in 34 (4x FT before 34 if i FH 31), based on only the 4x guaranteed going ahead. Plus maybe more depending if more games go ahead, based on who wins FA cup ties.

    Putting it like that, FH 31 seems best?

    Need to decide before the deadline this week, as if deciding to FH 31 this weeks transfer should be to get a 34 player, something glamourous like Rico > Diop or Holgate..

  12. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

    @ TorresMagic , what is your chip and blank 31 strategy, with no WC? I have used my WC to.

    This week has been a disaster for me as I used my WC, dropped McCarthy and Vardy and gambled on Pepe Auba and Saka. Lesson learned now.
    Dropped from 20k to 35k.

    Need your help here guys as I have 9 gw31 players, and the plan was to save and get 2 more next week, but after that horror show I’m not sure what to do:
    1) Pepe-> Fernandes (will have 10players for gw31)
    2) Pepe-> Chelsea mid (10players for gw31)
    3) save as per the plan
    4) KdB Gomez -> mane Tanganga

    Krul
    Taa Doherty Cathcart
    Salah KdB Pepe Doucoure
    Auba Dcl Jota

    Pope. Saka, Taylor, Gomez

      Saïss imo

  17. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

    I also shipped Martial out for Pepe, for a -4......
    But at least I had Barnes and McCarthy to save my gameweek.

  22. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Just noticed my 7 year old is on 84 this week and up to 13k OR.

    Good debut season!

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Sign him/her up as a Pro Pundit next season!

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      How much help is he/she getting? I've got one a bit younger and one a bit older and can't imagine either of them lasting more than a couple of GWs to be honest.

      1. Dacra
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Late reply sorry.

        He does it every week, I remind him just before deadline. Sometimes takes my advise, sometimes completely ignores me!

  23. BNMC
    • 4 Years

    After yesterday's showing, I won't be surprised if Villa finish dead last.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Was never a doubt.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        This reminds me, does any remember a poster called kiwi villain? He was around lots in preseason, defending Villa when everyone was saying they were ‘doing a fulham’.

        1. Greek Freak
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Oh yeah I remember him, he had this weird personal vendetta against Richarlison last year. Maybe he's waiting for Richarlison to start blanking again?

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 19 days ago

            I just remember him raging at anyone who criticised anyone who thought Villa would go down. Or opposed any non Villa players in FPL. He was adamant Guilbert was the best defender, and Wesley was champions league level striker.

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 19 days ago

              He was a right bellcheese. Good he has gone. Unfortunately about 10 new ones have popped up in his place though 😀

              1. HamezMace
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 19 days ago

                Ha, yes. He must be breeding 🙂

            2. Long ago I drew a walrus
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 19 days ago

              Sounds like a troll. But it's a shame because Villa have played good football at times this season, albeit sporadically. Wonder what could have been if McGinn could have been available for the whole season.

              1. HamezMace
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 19 days ago

                I like Villa as a club, would like to have seen them stay up, but it’s a big ask now I think.

                Norwich, Brighton and Villa for me.

                1. Long ago I drew a walrus
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 19 days ago

                  Agree with the original poster that Norwich are playing so much better than Villa now that it's quite feasible Villa finish rock bottom. I think Norwich will go down with a fight. Personally I think Bournemouth over Brighton to go down because their fixtures are dreadful

                  1. HamezMace
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 19 days ago

                    Norwich are good to watch for sure.
                    Relegation fight far more exciting than the title picture that’s for sure.

    2. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Wonder were Grealish will play next season.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Deserves CL, but not sure which clubs are looking for a player in his role with CL.

        City have KdB.
        United have Bruno
        Leicester - Maddison
        Chelsea - Mount. Not on grealish level but looks like that want to stick with him.
        Liverpool - doesn’t suit the system.

          Arsenal will be losing Ozil. Outside chance of them qualifying for CL.

            Can’t see Arsenal getting CL, but no doubt a good move and step up for Grealish.

            I hope he gets a chance at the euros and gets a move to a really big club.

          United would go for him, and if we don't it won't be because of Bruno imo. Would be a statement signing for Woodward which has always been more important than how the player is used in the team

            How do you see Grealish fitting into a midfield with Bruno?

            It’s one of the other for me. Grealish would be too expensive to be a rotation player.

            Think Utd need a striker, and winger more, as marquee signings this summer.

              Grealish can play wider I suppose, but then Rashford will be back. Just saying it won't stop United making a bid and it certainly won't stop the rumours, it was literally in the bbc gossip section today about a 100m bid for Grealish and Bellingham

              1. HamezMace
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 18 days ago

                I read about Bellingham too, but surely he doesn’t go straight in to the United team at 16?

                Always gossip around Utd, seems like a Ole has actually got a transfer strategy though. Grealish would tick the box. But I’m not sure how he fits in with Bruno as a ten. Rashford/Martial and possible Sancho wide.

                Like I say I think a proper winger is what Utd want, not really suited to Grealish game.

                  As long as Pogba goes. We could have benefited from a Herrera type this year actually, someone to play alongside or instead of McTominay, and of course a proper no. 9

          City could need him after Silva gone, he can play left attacker with a a striker and Sterling on the other side. United, hm, can play one of them further down, both players capable of playing both as 8, 10 and Grealish on the wing.

          He is much better than all of Chelsea´s mids.

          As a Liverpool fan, he could def play as the creative one in the trio in midfield. Coutinho played there and Grealish is way better tactically and works harder.

          Manchester United:

          Up Top: Some Good Forward (maybe stick with Martial)

          Attack Wings: Grealish and Rashford

          #10: Bruno

          This is a freakish team, when everybody is healthy

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            Grealish isn’t really a winger though. Not in the traditional sense, which I think is what they want, like Sancho.

            1. Camino Aleatorio
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 18 days ago

              Grealish is much more than a wing, that’s were Bruno, Jack, and Rashford could just float and terrorize defenses

              You wouldn’t need to change names to change tactics these guys are multi tooled players

              By the way, I’m not a MU fan, just saying

        Interesting that no foreign teams seem to be in for him. May tell you something.

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Honestly they probably couldn’t afford him.
          The German clubs only want to sign English players under 18.
          Realistically only Madrid or Barca could afford him, and he doesn’t fit the profile really, he’s not a superstar instagrammer.

            Ndidi showed how you deal with him yesterday - kick him early and he disappears.

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 19 days ago

              I don’t know, didn’t see the game yesterday, but I’ve seen him get plenty of rough treatment throughout the season and respond well.

              I like the boy, and would like to see him playing CL next year for someone.

              It's not so much him personally, more that Villa as a one-man team have been found out. City obviously but also Southampton and Bournemouth in recent weeks. Put two men on Grealish and the rest of them are gash

    My FT for the next GW only (as I'll be using free hit and then wildcarding)

    A) Richarlison > Barnes

    B) Richarlison > Willian

    C) Richarlison > Mahrez

    D) Hold

    E) Other

    1. Chrisinho

      a) - difficult fixture
      b) willian not nailed
      c) mahrez not nailed, who knows with pep roulette

      id go with e- 2 controversial diffs but Ozil is in form, within price range and has looked good the last few weeks. Or JWP at SOU

    Taa vvd Salah traore dendo playing gw31
    2ft , WC and BB also available.

    So I could get to 8 (but including traore and dendo) with no hits.

    Assume I shouldn't FH for gw31 then, and say get in pope Taylor Doherty wood sarr for 10 and 2 hits?

    1. pavlev
      • 13 Years

      And WC gw 32

    2. Chrisinho
      • 6 Years

      if you have all 3 chips left the sensible option seems to be FH GW 31

        I agree with you which brings me to my next question.
        Why is everyone talking about binging in Sarr and Deeney for GW 31 ...

    Can I justify Ings to Giroud for - 4? Or is that madness?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      If you fancy Giroud's 2 pointers.

    2. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      What is Abraham injury news?
      The transfeer is sexy for GW 30 but if Giroud never plays again after that then not sure it's worth the risk.

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        To be he is not worth the risk even if Abraham never plays again.

    Planned transfers before BGW31
    Traore, Auba and Ings > Sarr, Jimi and Wood using 2ft and 1 hit.

    9/10 players for BGW31. Should I hold until GW31 to do the transfers? Auba and Ings has decent GW30 fixtures. Ings has been poor. I could bring in Woods against a poor City defence
