After an eventful Gameweek 14, in which I almost committed the deadly sin of selling Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), I couldn’t be happier with the end result: a total of 93 points and an overall rank well inside the Top 20K for the first time since Gameweek 10.
Considering the rumours from several sources saying Salah was going to be rested at Selhurst Park, I almost pulled the trigger and sold him for Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) on Saturday morning. However, since I wasn’t 100% convinced by the rumours, I decided to hold fire and hope for a cameo from the Liverpool midfielder at the very least. After all, it would be heartbreaking to sell him ahead of such a nice fixture just to find out the rumours weren’t true.
However, the rumours were very true and he was indeed benched. But Salah doesn’t need many minutes to wreak havoc and after his 16-pointer, I was relieved to have decided to save my transfer. In addition, Ruben Dias (£5.7m), Andrew Robertson (£7.3m), Jack Grealish (£7.8m) and my captain Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m) all delivered nine points or more, which felt great after three red arrows in a row.
For a hit too. Rough. So be it. I think it was bad beat
What was the rumour?
Salah benched meant people did Salah to KDB or Salah to Son or Salah to Kane (2 transfers)
Ah nevermind, he meant he sold Salah. Thought Kane was out for a second...
Yes I’ve spent 10 minutes checking information on Kane on Google
chances of Aubemeyang starting?
Which option do you reckon score more points over the next three?
a) Robbo (WBA, new, sou) -4pts
b) Dias (NEW, eve, che)A

Fabio's ready.
Well on his way to a fifth consecutive top 2k finish. Incredible level of performance.
Wow that’s unbelievable
Whats the drawback of Freehitting in GW19? (Have TC and BB left too but no 1st WC)
I own Martinez, Dias, Dier, Lamptey, Grealish, Son, KDB and I plan to get Stones in for Mitchell this gw and Kane in next gw.
Surely, the upside of FHing in dgw19 is higher as I plan of getting 11 dgwers, can also good 1 week punts who I would usually not get like Vardy, Mane, Robertson, double WHM def and probably Rashford, whilst keeping Kane, Son, Grealish and co and not spending hits in the hockey cockey.
Thoughts?Doing exactly this
If you have no 1st WC, then it all depends on how many DGW19 players you have now and can get by the time DGW19 arrives. If you can field 10/11 BGW18 players then FH 19 can work.
Which fixtures/teams are you targeting post gw19?
Hey folks, Merry Christmas!!
On to more important matters lol, can’t decide on best chip strategy
A: Navigate gw18 with 8 players and gw19 with 8dgw/3sgw players (2hits). Can then WC25, Bb26,FH29
B: FH18, BB19 with 12dgw/3sgw players (2hits). Then WC26 and navigate through gw29It's not just about quantity. If you have 8 players in 18 and 8 DGW in 19.
Definitely out of those 16, 10-12 would be super cheap players?
Do we think Walker plays on January 13th for the blank?
Positive
With the Walker news do we think Cancelo now starts?
yup, what other right backs do they have
Do the math
Close between him and Zabaleta
Micah Richards also waiting in the wings
Laporte played leftback some time ago didnt he? Guess they can play who they want as rightback against nufc who will park the bus.
Which scores more?
A) Zouma (ars), Grealish (CRY)
B) TAA (WBA), Raphinha (BUR)B
A

Lamptey and Ayling --> Stones and Balbuena with my 2 FT?
Nice moves. Ayling at CB has to be the least appealing Leeds player you can possibly own.
3 SOT last two games. Must be some less exciting players in the game.
Yes
2ft
Fab
Zouma cresswell justin
Salah kdb bruno soucek grealish
Vardy bamford
Grealish zouma to raphina robbo?
Or grealish justin to raphina robboWould keep Grealish this wek
got a feeling Liverpool might not score more than 2 vs WBA. Big sam is going to have them so organised
Got a feeling jones will score
At least 4 I reckon
TAA + Robo? Expensive?
Yes One of them with Salah Is better
Depends on how you look at it.
Kane + 4.5 defender + ( 4.0 Def fodder)
Robbo + TAA + ( 4.5 fwd fodder)Kane could be any premium asset worth more than 11m.
If u don't have Mo Salah Who to C ?
A- Adams
B- Bamford
C- KDB
D- Kane
E- Grealish
F- FernandesHas to kdb?
You shouldn't even consider anyone except CDF
Kdb for meKDB
E
Cheers
C
McCarthy
Robbo TAA Cresswell Justin Mitchell
Salah Bruno Grealish Caveliero Soucek
Jesus DCL Adams
Already did my FT
Do I do -4 for Jesus > Aguero/Kane OR just play my WC this week instead of GW16?What team would you pick for wc?
If not much different then wait. With everything going on you don't know who will be out next week.
Play 442 imoInteresting point since captain would stay on Salah anyway. Guess I'll just start Cavalerio hoping he plays and does something, else Justin off the bench
Was there any negative Coufal news earlier?
His wife had a child. Maybe he misses this week? Who can tell?
Ok thanks
So he doesnt?
Which of the following would you rather sacrifice AFTER gw15 in order to fund dgw19 player transfers?
A) Grealish (bought at 7.0 so 0.8 in value)
B) KDB (bought at 11.7 so 0.1 in value)Start one:
a) Kilman
b) Konsa
c) Taylor (Burnley)Konsa
Had Coufal and other rest hazards, so was wondering who was the safer option at 1st bench spot:
A) Taylor (LEE-A)
B) Bissouma (WHU-A)
Cheers!A
whats the news on chelsea's James is he still out ? also how long?
thanksexpected to be back for GW16
Source?
Evening. Bench two
Coufal (BHA)
Dallas (BUR)
Taylor (lee)
KWP (ful)
Currently benching the last two, but are the rumours about Coufal true?Coufals wife just gave birthday, so he may not even dress anyway and Taylor
Lol birth*
Is Ings confirmed out? I known he didnt train Wednesday
Nothing definite. Coach on Dec 23: "I mean nobody can play a PL game without training during the week so... time is running, and we must have a look tomorrow, and on Friday."
So KDB in it is?
Need more information
Fabio cant put a foot wrong in fpl, it is almost scary. A big kdb haul coming
Who is Fabio?
Anyone thinking of bringing in Martial for DCL after this gameweek?
Yes contemplating it. Good potential for DGW. Worried about sharing points with Cavani and his form has only recently picked up so will monitor. Mind you, I’m contemplating Benteke so I’d take this take my views advisedly
Lamptey to
A Stones
B Dallas
Cheers gentsA
Stones
Stones or Dallas for this week only?
Both
Took a hit...
G2G?
Mendy(Forster)
Robertson Cancelo Coufal(Taylor)(Lamptey)
Salah KDB Fernandes Grealish (Riedewald)
DCL Bamford Rodrigo
Plan to FH18,BB/TC19
Really worried about Rodrigo, got him in early and I'm being told he's not even nailedIs this squad decent for GW19? I will likely triple captain Salah.
McCarthy - Forster
Dias - Justin - Coufal - Balbuena - Taylor
Salah - Fernandes - Son - Soucek - Anguissa
Kane - Vardy - Bamford
0.2 in the bank.
ThanksJames + KDB + Watkins to Robbo + Raphinha + Kun for -4? Kun will most probably become Kane next week. Really want Robbo for this week but I have to sacrifice KDB
Would keep Watkins and get Kane next week. Aguero will not get a lot of game time as Pep said not at match fitness- he will ease him in gently
Really don’t know what to do and haven’t followed fpl lately so yeah suggestions are Welcome
2FT 0.0 ITB
Martinez
Chilwell, KWP, Dias, Coufal, Kilman
Grealish, Bruno, KdB, Salah, Soucek
Bamford, DCL, WatkinsChilwell out.
3 years, 3 months ago
Well done Fabio. I did sell after the rumors for Kane
