    Hi All....(apologies for the essay)

    I was wondering if anyone has any strategies for how to make 50/50 calls - decisions where the stats, fixtures, and eye test all work for a couple of players, and it’s a straight choice between them. I’ve had several of these this season, and seem to have gotten them all wrong! (see below, * for the one I went with):

    GW2: *Rashford/Son, *Richarlison/DCL
    GW7: *Zaha/Grealish
    GW9: *Target/Coufal

    Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve made a couple of duff transfers as well (Podence GW3 anyone?), but nothing too tragic. I’ve thought that over time I should get a few more of these right, however it does feel like they’ve had a fairly serious impacts as it often takes a couple of moves to repair.

    Noted that this is a relatively small sample set, but just wondered whether I was missing something, or anyone has any strategies for dealing with such decisions

    Thanks in advance

      I think the main thing is if you are unsure to err on the side of patience and fix some other area of your team. A mistake when not acting is 4 pts better than a mistake when acting. In the case where you need to move and are 50/50 between 2 replacements, you are in the luck of the draw territory unfortunately.

        Yes patience is undoubtedly crucial - but does mean setting these calls straight n often be left too long

          Yeah I guess the OR impact and flow on effect to price changes mean we are biased toward over reaction rather than under reaction to the thing that just happened. If u are aware of this natural bias (that exists in us all) it may help in future decisions.

    How did Salah play today? Is he a safe starter against BHA?

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

      Barely touched the ball from what I read on Twitter.

    2. Joggers Nipple

    Which one do you prefer folks?
    A. Vardy [C] Jota (-4)
    B. Bamford KDB [C] (-4)
    C. Werner Jota, no hits and Bruno [C]

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Very tough.. Must be better options.. Post your team mate

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

        Before any transfers:

        Martinez (Ryan)
        Chilwell Coufal Cancelo (Taylor Mitchell)
        Bruno [C] Zaha* Son Grealish (Burke)
        Werner Kane DCL

  9. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Using free transfer on Podence to Jota gets me this team. But defender move needed as Mitchell unlikely to play- which do you think best? Saïss to
    A Cresswell
    B Robertson
    C Coufal
    D Dias
    E Anyone else I am missing?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Cancelo Mitchell
    Son Bruno (c) Ziyech Grealish Jota
    Kane DCL

    Forster Brewster Saïss Lamptey

    1. FC Hakkebøf

      B

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I just did Saiss to Dias for that its worth.

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

        Thanks. Nice team you have below. Only issue is whether to double up as have Cancelo

  10. 2OLEgend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone worth a hit, or good to go?
    Also, any thoughts of what to do going forward?
    1m ITB.

    Martinez
    Zouma, Dias, Ayling
    Son, KDB, Bruno, Grealish
    DCL, Kane, Bamford
    (Steer, Mitchell, Bissouma, Taylor)

    Thanks lads

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All good. Later just up Mitchell to a WH to have a bit of a stronger bench?

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Scared to go without Salah though and dont want to sell any of the mids. Was thinking Kane, Biss, Zouma - > Salah, Brewster, Coufal next week could be An option

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years

          Good moves

          I like the changes 😉

  11. Luton_Fan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which one for next few gws?

    A. Jota, vardy
    B. Dcl, sterling

      b

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A.

      I have them both. Vardy a must for the home game against Fulham. Jota is scoring goals for fun so makes sense to have him in case he scores a brace or a hattrick from midfield.

  12. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) Just get Salah now
    B) Get KDB and swap to salah after BUR FUL

    best option?

  13. Homeandhosed

    Is Leeds man marking system a good or bad fixture for James this weekend?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bad imo.. They will mark him the same way they marked KDB. They aim for the playmaker.

      1. Homeandhosed
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep that is my instinct too. The recently returned from injury Leeds CDM probably gets the job if Everton retain the wing back system which is another negative I guess

  14. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kilman or Dallas to transfer in this week?

    Will be a bench player after thatvl just covering Lamptey

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas

  15. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Are any Man City players worth a punt this week, or should we wait for their form to improve?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking on J Rod to KDB, seems an acceptable risk

    2. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not really a punt but I thought KDB looked decent against Spurs, if Rodri or Dias had scored their free headers he'd have ended up on 8 points plus he's rested

  16. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can do
    Ziyech + Rodriguez > de Bruyne + Jota for a -4.

    Already have DCL and Werner as Eve/Che attackers and have no Liv/MCi attackers so like the diversity move.

    Thoughts?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Already have Bruno and Grealish in the mid.

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

      Yes

    3. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I thought Jota looked dynamite against a good Leicester team on Sunday so I took a hit to bring him and Vardy in (helped that I had Zaha tough)

  17. AllINeedIsCoffee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Saiss simply bench fodder now, even when he's fit?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks that way I'm afraid

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like it. Not first choice for sure

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing is certain but it looks as though the LB role is Kilmans to lose and Saïss isn't comfortable on the wing so Marcąl and Ait Nouri should be battling for that spot. Hard for Nuno to fit him in currently, if Coady was out for an extended period of time it's possible he gets a game or 2 but I think Coady is due back this weekend after having a negative COVID test.

    Son Jrod -> KDB Jota -4?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Zouma Robbo
    Bruno Son Rodriguez Grealish
    DCL Kane Bamford

    Forster Podence Lamptey Mitchell

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years

      Yes.

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would rather do Podence, Kane - > KDB, Warkins/Antonio(if fit)

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers i'm happy to bench Podence but not sure i'd be happy to bench Watkins/Antonio every week

        1. 2OLEgend
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ah, true that. Could go for Brewster and upgrade Jrod to Salah with the money?

  19. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you sell Bamford to get Jota for a hit?

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

      Don’t think so

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No way

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford is up against Everton's leaky defence next so no.

    4. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford has also a good run of fixtures starting in a couple of GWs...wouldn't get rid of him.

  20. kobewan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    who going to the bench

    A. Bamford vs. Everton I have Hames and DCL
    B. Chillwell vs. Spurs I have Son and Kane
    C. Cresswell vs. Villa I have Grealish and Martinez

    What I was planning to was play McCarthy(also have Bruno) for Martinez
    bring in Kilman against Arsenal for any of the three ..

    1. Esalman
      • 14 Years

  21. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do either of these work?
    A) Kane, Zaha > Vardy, Salah (-4)
    B) Brewster, Saiss > Vardy , Neco (-4)

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A looks tasty

  22. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Are these moves worth a -4?

    Saiss, Wilson, Soucek => Dias, Brewster, Jota

    or

    Saiss => Dias and roll a transfer

    Here is the current team:

    Martinez – (Button)
    Robbo – Kilman - Targett – (Lamptey) (Saiss)
    Salah – Bruno – Son – Grealish - (Soucek)
    Bamford – DCL - Wilson

    2FT & 1.1m itb

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss - > Dias and save imo

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just the Saiss move

  23. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years

    Who would you rather sell this week? Likely selling the other next

    A) Son
    B) Ziyech

        I shipped Salah out for Bruno, planning on getting him back for Fulham. Got 3.6 itb

  26. Gymer11

    Looking to take -4 what do you think best options would be...

    Son and Rodriguez - jota and kdb

    Son and Rodriguez - Salah and jota

    Kane and James- kdb and Vardy

    Kane and James - Vardy and jota

    1. Joggers Nipple

        *Fourth

    4. Mr Wolf
      • 10 Years

      Vardy and Jota for me

  27. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it worth bringing Salah back this week for a hit?

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Im waiting...didnt look great today

  28. dezille
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    1FT, 0.5 ITB

    Martinez
    Chilwell James Cancelo Justin (Mitchell)
    KDB (C) Bruno Son Grealish (Podence)
    Vardy DCL (Brewster)

    A) Podence > Jota (-4) (exact funds tonight).
    C) Save and play 442

    A would mean benching one of Justin, James or Chilwell. Cancelo may not play so may need all 3 anyway. Plan would then to bring Salah back for a double up in GW12.

  29. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I think most of top10k will captain Bruno

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thats why Im going Vardy

  30. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years

    I have 4m itb which allows me to upgrade Ziyech to Salah for a hit.

    Is it madness?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Not madness

    2. Joggers Nipple

      no
