Who are the best FPL assets to buy from Aston Villa?

Both

I've gone for Grealish but hard to look past Jrod really

Hames

Honestly Rod even though I have Grealish

Both are top picks. You can't really go wrong with either.
I have a certain preference for JRod as I feel he has a much higher ceiling.

James

Pulisic/Hav to JRod or Save FT?

Already have both but if I had to choose 1 it would be Rodriguez

I'd go with Grealish,

James

Gotta admit I really like that team!

Who is Kinda though?

Thanks!
Sorry Konsa that should say

Think kilman is nailed enough ?

I would have J Rodriguez instead of Harvetz

Killman a bit of a sub player for me.

Yeah havertz v J rod is hard. Havertz just starting to look decent enough though?

Why Targett specifically and not someone else if I may ask?

Sounds good

My hunch is we didn't miss much

I'm on WC this week and have the almost the same team except for Saiss for Semedo; Wilson for Watkins.

Would you consider aguero on a wildcard?

B

B would be the only one for me

Has to be B

Martinez and Guaita seems a bit rich
No real 4.5 stand out - I guess you could double up on Villa with Konsa/Targett? KWP?

How come you’re going for guita and Martinez? Personally would save and increase budget in def

Are you sure you want to rotate those 2 GKs?
I believe you would have more value in defense if you bring in a defender from Villa along with a separate team GK (unless you're alright with a double up)

When I start thinking about taking hits for “hype” players. Sometimes just need to reset and remind how yoyo players can be.

I have taken measures not to get overwhelmed. Such as not looking deeply at the stats except when I actually need to replace a player, and just listening to one podcast/source of info (fpl black box).

Physical excercise and good food (not takeaway but making it myself) are also good breaks from everything else

I had to quit for a few years tbh. My main problem was mini leagues. I joined again just before deadline with no mini leagues and having a great time now.

What is it getting to you?

Distractions help. I like video games and movies. Video games work better as easier to immerse and switch off thoughts. So finding a hobby is good. I turned one of mine into a business! Anxiety can be a blessing when focussed.

Just try to keep in control of your thoughts. Tell the ill thoughts to go away as soon as you realise they're consuming you. Don't allow yourself to be sucked under and consumed. And remember, when the fun stops, stop.

I hope this helps

I took a 3 year break from FPL. Was very useful for perspective. I don't tilt anymore and once a deadline is hit I forget about how my players do and just watch it for the football.

I'm also finding that FanTeam is really helpful because while I might blank in FPL, I've hedged in a number of FanTeam drafts so if I lose somewhere I win somewhere else.

But definitely the 3 year break was so good for dealing with any issues with tilt I had. It's a game.

Think it still looks good! Would stick for now

GTG

Would save with an eye on Podence out.

I have exactely the same team (14/16) except Robertson for TAA.
And I keep it for this week.
Next week I might bring in Kane for Jimmy and down grading Salah or Sterling
Or just find a good replacement for James and keep some free transfers for when fixtures turn.

Good team

I'm guessing it would come down to either Sterling or Kane? If so wouldn't get rid yet

No way - that team is great

Hold for now and WC next international break when TOT and MCI fixtures turn.

How would your WC team look? Set up both teams, look at the differences, and then I believe we would be able to assess in a better manner.

Draft a WC and see how many changes you would make. Team is ok but the defence and GK is probably the weak link that needs fixed

God no

Surely not right after he scored a brace

It was until last week.

Now that he has opened his account, might be worth keeping him but DCL looks the real deal this season so try work a way round getting him too

No chance, keep Werner as a differential

Don’t take out Jiminez. Reliable goalscorer.

Pereira to Hamez for free this week, nothing else. It’s not a bad team at all, you’re just worrying about the players who you don’t own, as they scored well last week. Keep patient and don’t take unnecessary hits

Team looks generally fine to me. I'd consider holding this week.

Minus 8 never a good look.
James should be first on the block: taylor/KWP or 1 from Dallas/Ayling

Sort out your weak links first - prioritise Pereira then James

Massive improvement so yeah

yeah, I'd make that move!

I would yes

You've got a decent team - Don't need to loose points

Nobody essential and you have Son. Good enough.

GTG

Or Soucek if you don't have him yet.

I don't see any exciting picks in the price bracket. I would go with Jorginho

Lookman

Not fussed about March
Soucek probably

Soucek or Lookman I'd say.
Or Bissouma for that matter. Gives you some additional funds in the bank as well.

Soucek or Biss

If he's an 8th attacker just buy Stephens.

Best under 5.8m is McGinn by some margin. But if he is for bench just go for a 4.5-5.0m (Bissouma, Anguissa, Soucek)

McGinn by a mile

Semedo has looked awful so far - hopefully he is just bedding in.

I think he is nailed but he was poor in the Leeds game.

Saiss a safer bet imo

Should be nailed, poor performance or not they still kept 2 CS in his first 3 games, hard to imagine a scenario where he’s dropped but you never know

Nailed but just a Coady playing at RWB

Kilman?

cheap double def and use the midfield spot on a premium

Don’t think Villa will be scoring many goals, probably defence

Peace be upon you too

Morning Truman

Good ebening

Greal. More consistent and allows you to move down if Barkley does explode.

Grealish.

Not worried about MUN. They can ride out CHE ARS eve before I look at them again.

Doesn’t sound like a logical reason to WC to me, hold it to gain max value out of it

Looks decent enough. Nothing a hit or 2 wouldn't fix. Save.

No need to WC. Use the FT or maybe a hit. Only downside is no Spurs which will probably go against you

Probably A but not much between them and I'm not a fan of Maupay as a FPL pick. He will get chances but I think he is a poor finisher. Upside, he is on pens

I'd probably go B, because Kane is an excellent captaincy option I think.
But A is also a viable option.

Can you stretch the money to upgrade McGinn to Barkley. Then surely B

Think you're right

B but there are cheaper and better options than Dier

B-Doggg

A with Robbo?

Not for a hit

No, I don't see enough upside on the hit move

Not really. Barnes to Barkley only?

Big Mo

Salah

Mo this week

I'm on Salah but I think Mane might be the better pick

Why do you think you need to WC? The team looks OK except it's missing Spurs and Martinez

I quite like it, it's different..

On WC myself and have decided against Justin because he doesn't have great fixtures in the next 5 (particularly given you are likely playing TAA and Reguilon every week) and then Peirera may be back by the time fixtures turn.

Not entirely sold on Greenwood or Podence, but otherwise solid.

Friday: panic buy Kane over fears of another haul

Saturday: shite I missed the deadline for my jimi to Kane transfer

I don't think the Monday night game necessarily changed anything
I would be surprised if anyone decides against Jimi > Kane if it is a straight swap

I would downgrade Mings to Konsa and bank the money for upgrades later. You will need it to bring in CHE and City players later

I would keep Sterling. Good differential

Wouldn’t to it
