Can i get some advice on what to do with my squad please?
Martinez
Coufal / Kilman / Chilwell
Zaha / Son / Grealish / Bruno
DCL / Kane / Werner (c)
Bench; Lamptey, Stephens, Douglas
1FT 2.4 itbKane to Vardy.
Zaha needs to go.
Or Kilman to Cancelodon't captain Werner this week. Bruno or DCL better options
Can you afford Zaha to rashford?
Question: how much of Agueo do you need to see before you bring him in. I think Burnley will be much tougher than the dark blue on the season tracker. It Fulham could be a cricket score. So what does ag need to do V Burnley to bring him in ahead of Fulham?
I like him this GW very much
Really? Surely Vardy at 0.1 cheaper us a better bet?
It's the safe transfer. I'm sorely tempted by Kun
I don’t think he’ll start Burnley
Play 70mins and I'd be severely tempted.
Waiting to see how he does. Better form options out there for now, Admittedly, I might miss the boat if he goes mental but I doubt it.
Just want to see him start a game .....
I think it's too soon....even though tempting. It's not just about Kun, is also about City attack that is stuttering at the moment. I might wait until they play United and reassess
Zaha to jota -4 before the double price swing tonight?
Planning to do a 3-5-2 with jota
Or do a 3-4-3 with budget forwardIf you're playing, I probably would.
Agreed. Jots is a total nobrainer. Could easily end up ppm best this season
Yes
Thoughts on this WC draft? 1.4m itb
McCarthy
Chilwell Dias Targett
Salah KDB Grealish Jota
Vardy DCL Bamford
(Forster Coufal Kilman Bissouma)Nice
Like it a lot. Not sure on Target.
Son & Jimmy to Salah & Aguero -4??
Not kun
Could Son & Jimmy to KDB & Vardy instead
Just do Jimmy to Vardy
Too early for Kun
Too soon for Kun imo
Question two. How important do you think squad value is at this stage?
I’ve got a rank of 90k and a value of 104.5. Pretty good, but I’m holding Kane Vs a switch to say, Vardy, Jesus or Aguero because I’m sure I’ll want him back and can’t bear the 0.3m more I’d have to pay in a month’s timeI wouldn’t say this is a squad value question but I think you’re probably right to keep Kane over these alternatives. Think Vardy will do well against Fulham but he’s not as good long term and Man City strikers is a lottery. A viable alternative would be to work towards KDB and Watkins instead but currently prefer Salah and Bruno if only two premium mids. Well done on your position btw
0.3 in TV equates to about 6 points over a season. If you think Vardy or Aguero won't outscore Kane by this much before you want him back after the tough fixtures then by all means hold.
What is your evidence for that first statement it sounds like the sort of bollocks Trump's legal team would spout
There was an article about it on here last season (or maybe the season before last). If anyone can find it that would be great. I'm not even going to pretend to remember how they worked it out but it was very convincing and the conclusion was over the course of a season 0.5 TV over an opponent = an extra 10 points over the course of a season. So the impact of losing 0.3 of TV over say 5-10 games (or even more) is almost zero.
Although I never learn, I'm terrible for chasing value -currently sitting on 104.1 having sold Kane & Son.Thanks PS, I simply can't believe that the article is particularly helpful, I'm not the top tier of FPL managers but like to think I do OK. The key thing about transfer value is the NUMBER OF OPTIONS that it gives you. With this in mind I find it very hard to believe that a gain in 0.3 TV at this stage would only gain you 6 points.
Anyway more importantly your link suggests you're Villa so good luck for the rest of the season and UTVCheers. 'Not the top tier of FPL managers' ? Most on here would bite their own legs off for your career history.
All the best for the season, hope you smash it again.
Up da villa!
No need to sit on the fence mate!
What to do with Kane????
A. Keep but also have Son.
B. Sell for Vardy -4
CheersSame dilemma for me
I wouldn't sell for -4. Could easily score this GW
Cheers - sorry for the late reply but was at work lol
Have to do tonight.
Liking the look of this.
Have Kane too and don’t wanna really get rid of Son but it’s the only way I’d be able to get Mo back. If I went Sterling I’d swap for Mo in GW 12.
Son and Saïss ➡️ Sterling and Fofana or Salah and Lewis/Kilman ( Lewis has good fixtures).If Lewis is your fourth/fifth def, I would go for it.
Bowen -> Jota -4? Seems a popular question to offload some midprice junk for Jota.
Contemplating the same move, don't know how I ended up with Bowen in my team 🙁
Bench Jota or Bamford?
no way of playing both?
You're doing it wrong.
Lol! Maybe Jota benches himself; problem solved
Keep Kane or transfer for Vardy for free...?
Transfer
Transfer
Chance of Jota starting at the weekend?
Unknowable
If you had to put a percentage on it?
85%
High
Pretty high. Outstanding at the moment
Cheers guys. Zaha -> Jota it is then.
Mane played the whole game....I think he has a high chance to start with Salah and Firmino. Salah might get subbed around 60 mins for Sadio....but obv just guessing! 😉
Concidering using my WC, worth it?
Now:
McCarthy (Nyland*)
Chillwell-KWP-Targett (Ayling-Mitchell)
Bruno-Ziyech-Grealish-J.Rodriguez (Reed)
Kane-Werner-DCL
WC draft:
McCarthy (Forster)
Chillwell-Telles-Cancelo
Bruno-Salah-KDB-Grealish (Bissouma)
DCL-Bamford-Watkins
0,5ITBI wouldn't wildcard your team seems pretty good
Its not a crisis, but double Sotton defence feels bad. Same with Ayling, Mitchell, J.Rodriguez (harder games coming up) and kinda same with Werner and Ziyech...feels so much more premium the second team. Better balance, no?
I'd leave as is. I actually prefer your current team.
Not a fan of Bamford, or Watkins. And I'd keep Ziyech for another couple of weeks.You're not a fan of Bamford?
They look like good moves to me
Current team below without hits. Would you do Kane to Vardy -4? to captain Party?
Martinez
Dias Robbo Chilwell
Jota Grealish Bruno Ziyech Son
Kane DCL
Brewster Mitchell LampteyI wouldn't...think his non pen xG is very low?
Always has been, he continues to laugh at the xG though
Yes, I know...but I dont think he looks that sharp atm, feels quite lucky with all the pens.
Btw, mind looking at my post right above this?
I was going to do, but now I am not quite as sure. Thinking about going heavy midfielder in a 3-5-2 in which case I would have sell Vardy again at some point and likely for a hit
thanks both I like Vardy for captain this week and Brighton at home too. Its a bit tricky who to captain otherwise
Definitely, crack on and join the party!
GTG? Willing to take a hit for the right player.
Martinez
KWP, Chilwell, Cresswell
KDB, Grealish, Jota, Son

Hi guys. Can't seem to get a move right this season so any help on the below would be appreciated!
Martinez, 4.0
Semedo, kilman, Chilwell, lamptey, Mitchell
KDB, Sterling, Grealish, Bowen, Bissouma
DCL, Kane, Brewster
1 FT, 4m ITB
A) kane & Bissouma -> Salah & Bamford (-4)
B) Brewster -> Bamford
C) Semedo -> Cancelo
D) something elseSave transfer. Or Kane>Vardy if set on selling Kane
Kane to Vardy is an option. Another one is Bissouma to Jota?
Thanks both
A would make your team much better as you can play 3-5-2 with a strong midfield. A for me.
So j-rod to jota about to take a .2 swing... hmmmmmm
Zaha + Kane > KDB + Bamford
Yaaaay
NopeI like it especially if for free
What about Jota and Vardy?
Yo yo!!!
I need help deciding what to do with Zaha tonight...
It'd be nice to have enough in the bank to move to Salah or Vardy this GW.
Martinez Forster
Justin Robertson Chillwell Kilman Lamptey
Grealish Fernandes Zaha Sterling Rodriguez
DCL Brewster Wilson
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!2.0 in the bank
Zaha to Jota?
Sounds good, I'll be short for Vardy but maybe Wilson is fine if he's fit? Captain ? I was also thinking Soucek or ASM and move Wilson to Vardy?
Wilson is back, C Bruno.
Cheers. Zaha to Jota done. Appreciate it!
A or B lads?
A) Jimenez & Podence to Brewster & KDB -4
B) Saiss to Cancelo/Dias
In A, Ayling has to start this GW & Brewster will be on benchA
Made some changes to my WC team.
Martinez-4.0
Robbo-Castagne-Dias*-(Dallas-N.Williams)
Jota-Kdb-Bruno(VC)-Grealish-(Bissouma)
Vardy-Bamford-DCL
*Really want Cancelo but can't bring myself to gamble on him starting or not.
0.3 itb Thoughts?I need a defender that is up to 4.5m that isn't Taylor or from Villa or West Ham . Any suggestions?
I'm thinking Bednarek or DallasI went for Dallas. So attacking, often OOP.
Dallas
Not sure Dallas is better than Ayling...he played some matches as CB but now is back at RB and is pushing quite a lot (a lot of crosses). I am considering the same but more on Ayling at the moment.
Son to KDB or Salah?
JWP to Torres/Jota for -4 for Burnley and Fulham?
Torres/Foden*
I wouldn't go near Torres or Foden at the moment with everyone available in that Man City attack.
What's better for a hit ?
A) 3.9 to Cancelo
B) 3.9 to Dias
C) 3.9 to Cresswell
D) JRod to JotaA
B
A
a
Would advice hold but A) for upside and B) for less rotation risk.
Hoping Pep gives some clues but I feel like Cancelo is due a rest.If you have enough coverage in defence, I would go D
Is Mahrez a descent pick?It's worth a ManCity double up?
Not yet imo
Not for me...
Anyone choose Dias than Cancelo?
A lot have in fear. I am not afraid 😀
I didnt
I think Cancelo starts on the bench this weekend 🙂 just a feeling of course.
J Rod to KDB is planned move. Any one hate this/ see anything better?
Martinez
Chilwell James Cancelo
Salah Son J Rod Soucek Grealish
Werner DCL
Forster Brewster Dallas Brantwaite 1FT 4.4M ITB
Any input really welcomenot sure about Soucek as 5th mid in a 3-5-2...what about Soucek to Jota? You can ship JRod next week
3 years, 5 months ago
Midday tomorrow. Not today.
