Who is captain if saving?
Bruno
Or DCL. But leaning towards Bruno
It's close, Werner could easily have scored a hatty.
Save
A
Salah price locked?
When it will be unlocked what was the rule
Don't think FPL Stats even knows.
The FPL kids do whatever they want. There is no hard and fixed rule
Then i need to get Salah after deadline...if he go up must take hit.
Not wise with so many games to be played but will risk it.
Why is it ok to lose 0.3 on Kane to get Vardy?
(1) cause Vardy will go up 0.2 or 0.3 in the next few weeks
(2) kane might lose 0.1
It’s a wash on the money and the chances of Vardy hauling are better than kane
I’m not saying the Vardy will absolutely out point Kane. It’s just easier to see Vardy roll Fulham than Kane roll Chelsea. Plus the captain effect. You can C on Vardy but not Kane so double the points
Bad logic, why?
There are many captains that could outscore Vardy.
Odds favor Vardy but its 2 transfers to get Kane back,other (C) options too KDB/Salah.
Interesting too see how it goes from here,template is broken.
I probably keep Son + Kane and go for Sterling(C),others going KDB,Vardy etc
Points over £.
Depends what price was paid for Kane, not necessarily £0.3 loss.
Vardy next 4 fixtures including Everton who concede 2 goals a game, looks more favourable than Kane's fixtures.
Likely Vardy will increase & Kane decrease with transfers & points.
Factor in Captain doubling the points it looks worth it.
Sometimes you do lose money transferring a player out & them back in. However you also make money on other players. If you don't have urgent issues elsewhere to address, banking the profit from Kane, investing in Vardy who will likely also result in profit too but Kane back at a lower price means it's actual money as opposed to team value.
This is obviously all speculation & could backfire, but that's the game trying to predict what is most likely to happen & backing your judgement.
What time is the pressers ?
Lunchtime.
Would u keep mings on a wc please
Probably not, do you have Martinez?
No
No i dont have Martinez
1) Jimenez to Vardy
2) Jimenez to Watkins & Grealish to KDB
3) Neither
As it stands:
McCarthy
Chilwell Justin Konsa
Salah Bruno JRod Grealish Soucek
Kane Jimenez
1 out of those. Hard to lose Grealish.
Could be JRod instead?
Had been thinking Grealish to avoid the Villa triple up!
Grealish is their best option though
1
GTG/Save my FT?
McCarthy
Chilwell, Targett, Cancelo
KDB, Grealish, Bruno, Ziyech
DCL, Vardy(c), Watkins
(Forster; Soucek, KWP, Kilman)
Is Fofana the best option from Lei defence is ai am looking for a nailed defender from Lei for a few weeks and 5.0 or less?
If you're looking long term and want a nailed defender starting this week then yes
Cheers.
Who scores more over the next 2 in your opinion? (Ignore price difference)
A) Salah
B) Bruno
A
Repost.
Hey guys, really can't decide if I should stick with this team or take a -4 to bring in one of Vardy/KDB/Salah. With this team will have to either captain Bruno or DCL.
Martinez 4.0
Lamptey PVA Mitchell Robbo Chilwell
Grealish Son Bruno Jota 4.5
Kane DCL Bamford
3.6 ITB. No FT left. What do you suggest?
Cheers
Bruno to KDB. Live a little
Bruno to KDB for free?
Fortune favours the brave
I'm probably doing Bruno to Salah fwiw.. but only because I'm gonna do that move in GW12 anyway
Not sure about this but if you think you'd captain KDB then maybe
Similar thinking.. because I'm gonna do that move in GW11 anyway. And maybe to Salah later in 12.
Vardy C though
Nah, find other route
🙁
Yes. Live a little
Have no City or Liverpool. Rashford to?
A) Salah
B) KDB
B
Thanks
b
Hi guys! 3.8m ITB 1FT
Nyland-McCarthy
Mitchel-Chilwell-Justin-Cancelo-Cresswell
Grealish-Bissouma-Salah-Zaha*-Son
Mitrovic-Adams-Werner
A) Zaha > Bruno
B) Son > KDB
C) Zaha > Jota + ?
C) A/B + Mitrovic > Watkins (-4)
D) Other suggestions?
A
Zaha to KDB. Get the $
Ok I'm settled on KDB coming in for this week. Just grateful for thoughts on whether to take out Ziyech or Son to make that transfer. I have Kane as well.
Thanks all
Ziyech imo but not ideal
Z
Ziyech
Safe to say that Wilson will start this weekend now that he's been declared fit?
Yes
Remember when everyone used to say : 'When in doubt captain Salah'...
People didn't even worry about captaining him in difficult fixtures
but now he has a fixture with serious haul potential and he is being overlooked as a captaincy option by most, am I missing something?
Still good c option this week. Many are with Vardy KDB and Bruno though
...Bri(a) was the reason everyone kept him last week...so that they could (c) him...
strange place this.
Herd mentality
I guess majority here got rid of him last week
Bookies love him and he will be in the top-3 most captained.
He's had Covid, which is why people are wary. Rightly so, in my opinion. I'm always keen to captain Salah but won't this week.
He's still a good pick if you have him. However, most have got Vardy, KdB and Bruno this week, some even for a hit. So, it makes sense for them to captain them.
Really don’t know which way to go. 1 FT 2.1 ITB
Martinez
Robertson, Chilwell, KWP
Fernandes, Grealish, Son, Zaha*
DCL, Kane, Maupay
4.0| Bissouma, Lamptey*, Mitcgell*
Which of these moves or Combination of moves for -4, -8 etc is best?
A) Zaha -> Ziyech or Rodriguez
B) Fernandes -> Salah
C) Son -> KDB
D) Kane -> Vardy
E) Maupay -> Bamford
A, D and E are ones I’m most considering
D
Wonder when I will get a chance to add Bamford...
On another note, getting Vardy and De Bruyne this week means I am stuck with Rodriguez for Burnley game as well, sigh...
Could be a blessing in disguise
Best replacement for Digne? Have Chilwell and Robertson as my other 2 defenders
Masuaku
Man City boys are the obvious ones. or you can try Bellerin or van aanholt
Cancelo although I must say that is lot of money in defence.
Turning out pretty well so far xD
Would you be tempted to play Neco Williams over Coufal? Don't think Neco will come on at all if he's benched so it might be worth a punt.
Also have triple Villa if it matters..
Worth a shot, both will probably concede
I would, yeah!
coufal better option.
Pool had one good defensive game and then CL you saw what happened. not worth it.
James Rodriguez > KDB
Michael / kilman > cancelo / Dias
For -4 hit
Who to take out frm Def ? And who to add
I'm assuming Michael is Mitchell? I'd get Dias for safety probably
So who do you want me to take out ?
I have Robbo, chiwell, Dallas, Mitchell, kilman
Finding this one tricky
A) Adams + KdB(C)
B) Aguero(C) + Bowen
A
Cheers, what swings it for you?
Bowen is meh
Fair enough that
A
Aguero might nto even start.
Has to be A with the uncertainty of Aguero starting. Plus Adam's been great all season and I'm just not a fan of Bowen. Westham are toothless without Antonio
So who gets Digne spot while he is out?
Nkounkou most likely and he is only 4 mil ?
yep but its not like they are keeping CSs :/
For sure but a play 4.0 all the same.
Any idea if he is decent from an attacking perspective ?
Not sure. Heard his name couple of times during preseason games I guess.
Apparently he is a "wonderkid" 😮
Yeah hard to tell as he just turned 20 not much to go on. Thanks again.
Morning dzzz, have 1ft and 4m itb. Planning to do Saiss out with the ft but anything worth a hit?
Martinez
Chilwell James Saiss -- Lamptey Mitchell
Bruno(c) Grealish Son Barnes
Kane Watkins DCL
A) Saiss > Dias and leave 3.6m itb
B) Saiss + Barnes >> Lewis + KDB
C) Saiss + Son >> Bellerin + KDB + 1.4m for bruno > salah in gw12
With C, i will effectively take out Son (this gw) and Bruno (in gw12) for Kdb + salah.
With B, I can decide in gw12 which two of Bruno, Kane and Son to take out but means
Anyone reckon Mitchell will start against Newcastle?
i think its possible
hows this looking for GW 10? Should I use my FT? have 2.0 ITB
Martinez
Chilwell Cresswell KWP
KDB Bruno Ziyech Grealish
Watkins DCL Vardy (c)
Forster Mitchell Riedwald Lamp
Save works.
save
Looks great. Save
Guaita
Robertson kilman zouma
Son Fernandes Ziyech grealish
Watkins DCL Kane
Nyland Taylor burke dunne
1 FT 3.3 ITB
A- Kane to Vardy
B- son to kdb
C- Kane & son to Vardy & kdb (-4)
D- son to Salah
E- Ziyech & Watkins to Vardy & jota (-4)
plenty of options, which do you folks suggest?
a
I've gone with Kane + Son to Vardy and KDB. I just feel like the fixture swings are too good to ignore. I cant see Spurs putting more then a goal or past any of their next 6 or so opponents while City and the likes of Vardy of the potential to do some damage over that time. I prefer the upside of attacking the point potential rather then sitting on double spurs and hoping they can pull off some narrow wins over tougher opposition
Grealish or Ziyech? Need to get rid of one to bring in Salah.
Ziyech i reckon
Ziyech
grealish
ziyech has 2 good weeks and 1 bad. i would keep him
I have both as well and if I had to get rid of one it would be Zyiech. I think they are both great assets but I see much more goal threat from Grealish. Zyiech has a killer pass but I can see him being integral to the link up and assisting the assister quite often. And I dont see much goal threat from him. He likes to sit a little deeper and swing balls in rather then make the runs in behind the defence
Pick one to replace TAA
1. Cancelo/Dias
2. Maguire
3. Robertson (would mean I can't bring back Salah in the mid term)
1 Dias
Dias

Dias
Hi

A) Werner > Vardy ( C )
B) Struijk > Targett
C) Save FT,
McCarthy
Justin / Chilwell / Coufal
Bruno / Grealish / Rashford / Ziyech
