Seven-time top 10k finisher Zophar delves into our Premium Members Area to assess three well-owned FPL assets and reveals his Gameweek 11 team.
As I recoil from the sight of three Aston Villa players in my team who are suddenly without a fixture in Gameweek 11, I figured I would share some observations on some trends I have noticed over the past few weeks.
Keep, seems like he's playing, and good value even if he misses out now and then if rest of def is nailed
why are people looking to ship him off? what did nuno say???
I'd keep but KWP if really wanting to sell probably.
No KDB, would you captain
A) Salah H WOL
B) Bruno A WHU
C) Vardy A SHU
D) DCL A BUR
E) Kane H ARS
F) Zaha A WBA
Salah (C), Bruno (VC) for me.
Honestly think apart from Zaha all of those could do really well this GW. Probably in the order you have them
C
C
D or C for me
Martínez, Meslier
Lamptey, Chilwell, Robertson, Walker-Peters, Cresswell
Grealish, Ziyech, Bruno, ASM, Jota
DCL, Vardy, Brewster
4.8 ITB, 1FT
A) Ziyech > KDB (C)
B) ASM + DCL > KDB + CAdams (-4)
neither of these leave an easy opening for salah next week, though. maybe Vardy + ASM/Ziyech > Salah + Watkins/Bamford? I don't know 🙁
a
A.
I've not seen ASM in any team for quite some time! 😀
right! just always had some other move to make... he's a waste, this week more than usual
A
So the deadline has been shifted to 90 mins before the second match?
That's what I see in the FPL site. Is it true or do we stick with the initial deadline before the postponed game?
Seems so!
Deadline is tomorrow.
11am here.
"Gameweek 11 - Sat 5 Dec 11:00"
Thanks all.
That's correct. Deadline is now 11:00 am GMT on Saturday 5th Dec.
Cheers.
fornals >> mahrez -4?
captain
a) vardy
b) bruno
c) mahrez
C
C
Thoughts greatly appreciated. I don't like Soucek and Bissouma in XI, but not sure where I can go this week. Just save the FT?
McCarthy
Chilwell -- R.Dias -- Justin
KDB (c) -- Fernandes -- Son -- Soucek -- Bissouma
DCL -- Kane
4.0 -- C.Wilson** -- Targett** - Mitchell [1FT + 0.6m ITB]
Yes, you are lucky to have KDB as C and all set
Thanks. Perhaps I should be happy I have an XI that *should* all start.
Patchwork can be done for next GW if necessary.
McCarthy
Chilwell - KWP - Justin
Salah (C) - Fernandes - Mahrez - Ziyech
Adams - Kane - DCL
Ryan / Coufal - Dallas - Bissouma
1ft / 0.1itb
Already did Grealish to Mahrez...
Gtg? Or should I try to get KDB too?
Mahrez (C)*
Which scenario is better to follow?
A)
- GW11: Hamez ➡ KDB (C)
- GW12: KDB ➡ Salah (C)
or
B)
- GW11: Hamez ➡ Mahrez (C)
- GW12: Ziyech ➡ Salah (C)
A is better
B
A for me.
I'd want KDB and Ziyech. And then a week to decide where to go with things having seen this GW and hopefully had news on AVL / NEW and other news.
A if for free
A
Want KDB for captaincy. Tough call to make, which one to rid for a hit
A) Grealish
B) Son
One option is Bissouma -> Mahrez(c) to keep both Son n Grealish
This. Then either (c) to Bruno or punt with Mahrez (c) Bruno (v)
Would you do Rashford > Mahrez or save FT to get Salah in next week
Do it and get Salah week after even for -4.
Save for Salah (c) - more assured start & points
This. Owning Mahrez can be great (as exhibited last week) but so frustrating when he is seemingly randomly benched.
Short term loss for long term gain with Salah.
Some rather interesting midfielder stats. Over the last 4 games, Trezeguet is second for goal attempts, 1st for shots inside the box, 4th for shots on target, 3rd for penalty area touches and 2nd for expected goals.
Yep, what a great option he would be if he could finish
He is what I would class as a 'Maupay' or 'Mitrovic'
Any chance that Bruno can be rested against West Ham? In midweek ManU playing away in Leipzig, then its ManCity next weekend.
very unlikely imo. However, could be subbed off early is united leads
good point, but I don't think they sit their best player tho...kind of like Kane, I expect him to always be on the field if able
yes
Any guidance here?
McCarthy
Lamptey-Zouma-Cresswell
Fernandes-Klich-Grealish*-Mo
Kane-DCL-Wilson*
3.5 itb and 2 free transfers
Not sure how much to tweak lineup with Wilson and Grealish out
Thanks!
A) Grealish to Mahrez (bought Grealish 7.4 so not too much value)
B) Kane, Reed to KdB, Brewster for -4
Any of these for a hit? Or hope both Riedewald and Neco play to field 11?
A) Watkins to Bamford
B) Cancelo to Dias/Reguilon
C) None.
I think Riedewald will start.
Wilson owners, are you holding or selling? What is the likelihood of NEW vs WBA being off as well?
Considering selling because of owning Grealish as well
For who?
No KDB, but this team looks ok ?
McCarthy
Chillwell, Justin, Cancelo
Salah, Bruno (c), Son, Jota, Soucek
Vardy, DCL
Forster, Brewster, Coady, Ayling
Maybe, play Coady as he will definitely get 90 mins, or risk Cancelo starting, but then he could come in for a 1 pointer ?
Thanks.
Wolves will concede and Coady won't get you any attacking returns.
Looks good as it is.
be very surprised if Pep doesn't pick Mendy/Walker again after last week but he does like to pull surprises.
Any news on Jimenez? I Have him and no playing bench.
Won’t play for a long time mate, sell, for a hit if you have to
He definitely will not be playing this GW with a head injury like what he had.
what do you mean lol...
he has fractured skull...
Even if the news is positive, sadly he's not gonna be back anytime. You have to sell surely, keep an eye on Danny Ings
*anytime soon
He should be able to leave hospital next week now they’ve put his skull back together.
Is it worth doing Mitrovic for Bamford for -4 points this week when I could wait for bamford's fixtures to improve next week?
I have 3 Villa subs so if Mitro doesn't end up playing at all I'll get 0 points there.
I got rid of mitrodonks last week and was such a good feeling to get rid of him. Take the hit and feel good, and look at your team in delight without frowning at him stinking it up. Bamford can score v anyone.
What happened to the Villa game?
Swab on the Tyne.
For free:
A) Kane + Romeu to Abraham + Mahrez
B) Kane + Ziyech to Abraham + KDB (play Romeu)
Wouldn't bring in Abraham after Giroud scoring 4 in EL
McCarthy
Reguilon Zouma Taylor
Rodriguez Jota Son Sterling Fernandes
DCL Vardy
Nyland Konsa Davis Mitchell
G2G?
Consistently let down by sterling but scared to ship and then he bags against FUL thoughts?
A) Cancelo -> Reece James (0)
B) Zaha -> Mahrez (0) - but Cancelo has to play...
C) Cancelo -> Reece James, Zaha -> Mahrez (-4)
D) Cancelo -> Reece James, Soucek -> Jota (-4)
Cheers!
in B), who comes in for Cancelo?
Nobody. Bench is Mitchell and Johnson (WHU) both do not play...
C or D
Good article. I thought when Digne got injured that affects DCL's appeal. Personally I have too many other issues to deal with to be in a position to sell him but when I get the chance Ings appeals to me.
1FT, 1.6m in bank and current team is;
-
Robbo, Chilwell, Cancelo, Coufal
Jota, KDB, Bruno, Bissouma
Kane, DCL
(fodder, Grealish, Watkins, Branthwaite)
Suggestions?
Watins > Adams
Cancelo > James
Martinez > Mendy
would like another city attacker but no obvious routes without a -8
Ignoring Robertson yellow flag, is he still worth holding onto ?? Have Chilwell, KWP, Dallas, and Killman and no fires to put out and cash in the bank ?
I would hold if I still had, still going to offer a lot of attacking returns
What to do?
A. Rashford Son > Raphinha KDB(c) -4?
Salah in for free next week
B. Rashford > Mahrez(c) for free
Salah in (-4) next week
1ft, 1.3itb
Martinez
James Cresswell Chilwell KWP
KDB(c) Bruno Ziyech Soucek
DCL Vardy
Button Watkins Grealish Bernardo
Plan A:
11: Ziyech to Mahrez
12: Mahrez to Jota
Plan B:
11: hold
12: Ziyech to Jota, KDB to Salah (bought at 11.5)
13: Salah to KDB
Plan C:
11: Watkins to Adams
12: Ziyech to Jota
A, B, or C, or any other suggestions?
B.
1 ft 0.6 itb.Any ideas?
--Martinez
--Robbo--Chillwell--KWP--Dias
--KDB--JRod--Bruno
--Kane--Bam--DCL
--Nyland--Grealish--Mitchell--Burke.
Nyland to Johnstone the obvious move here?
Should I go for: Rodriguez --> Mahrez for?
3 years, 4 months agoShould I get rid of Kilman? If yes, any tips on a replacement? Got 4,6m to spend.
Cheers
