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.
Neither
I also have Mitchell so there’s a chance I won’t have 3 defenders
I haven't had Bellerin in my roster since 2016
I'd ditch Chilwell. May as well get rid of the injured and more expensive one. Arsenal have been crap but the GW17 fixture againt big sam's West Brom would seem a good chance for a clean sheet regardless. Could always lose Bellerin for a Chelsea defender in time for the double gameweek if you wanted one back.
Although maybe Bellerin has been dropped? Just noticed he hasn't started the last 2. Not been following arsenal as they're such a bad watch at the mo... Would still lose Chilwell to free up more cash.
Those WC16,will you be getting rid of DCL?
Not WC ing
But selling soon probably
Hell no!
Keeping
WCing and selling
I think he's a season keeper. I'll lose 1 mill as I had from gw1
0.5m *Cough* 🙂
GTG?
Mendy
Cacelo Balbuena KWP Taylor
Salah(C) Bruno Son Grealish
Kane DCL
Steer Justin Delap Romeu
Cheers.
Chilwell to Cancelo a decent transfer tonight?
Seems good for me
Or Stones or Matip?
If i do two transfers and then play my freehit after, will my transfers stand or will the freehit cancel it like the wildcard does?
Cancels
Cancels all other transfers and rises/falls
Cancels them
Who scored more up to and including GW 19:
A) Robbo and Grealish
B) Chilwell and SonOriginal plan was B. Leaning A now
Any indication Coufal will not play? Really do not want to get Dallas instead of him
Start??
A. Justin
B. Coufal
Def is:
Mendy
Dier - Cancelo - Justin/CoufalI'm on coufal
So am I atm. 😀
Start Coufal
Is Coufal playing at Sunday?
West Ham are, he might not as just had a baby but hopefully he will.
Which one of these would you do?
A, Get Cancelo (-4)
B. Play Taylorb
What to do here? 0 FT, .9 ITB
Mendy
Dias - Robbo - Dallas
Salah (C) - KDB - Bruno - Grealish
DCL - Bam - Brewster
Steer - Stephens* - Chill* - 3.8
A) Save + play brewster as my 11th
B) Chill out for a hit
C) Upgrade Stephens > Soucek or someone for a hit
D) Something else for a hit
D play chillwell
Watkins to Adams worth a -4?
Seeems silly before CPL but will lose .1 tonight and want Adams for DGWOdd logic
The main point being Watkins has done nothing for ages and not on pens either
No imo
Merry Xmas all.
How is this looking?
Did a -4.
Did Chilwell and Nkonkou to Matip and Coufal.
Martinez
James - Coufal - Matip.
Grealish - Son - Bruno - KDB - Salah
Watkins - Bamford
Forster - Neco - Justin - BrewsterGtg
2.2 ITB
McCarthy (Martinez)
Robertson Justin Coufal (Lamptey*) (Mitchell)
Salah KDB Bruno Grealish Soucek
DCL Bamford (Brewster)
Currently relying on the 3 defenders to start, knowing that Lamptey is injured and Mitchell won't play. Coufal just had a baby - do players tend to miss out the following day?
A) Lamptey > Dallas (-4) - I will be bringing him in for the double anyway, so it's now or later
B) Pray Coufal starts
If you're absolutely certain you're going to get Dallas anyway for a hit then just do it this GW.
Well, it may not be for a hit later, but I will likely bring up in - difficult to know 3 GWs down the line. It's just whether the hit is worth making sure I have a 4th defender this week.
Who to bench :
A : Dier
B : PVA
City back 4 predicted as Cancelo Stones Dias Mendy. KDB & Gundogan certain. Friction in City Camp between KDB & Fernandinho v Mahrez
What's the source on the friction issue you raise?
Lol
Based on fixtures would you double up Cancelo with Dias or get Dier?
Cancelo (NEW, eve, che, BHA, CRY)
Dier (wol, FUL, LEE, avl, shu)Dier for me
Dias
Mccarthy (Nyland)
Chilwell*. reece james*, Justin, KWP, (Mitchell)
Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Grealish (Stephens)
DCL, Wilson, Bamford
1FT £1.1m ITB
A) Reece James or Chilwell ---> Coufal or Cancelo
B) Wilson---> Adams
C) Options A+B (-4)
D) Chilwell + Wilson ---> Balbuena + Firmino (-4)
A as you're likely yo just have two playing defenders
Why not Chilwell+Wilson to Robertson+Adams in C?
Worth taking out Wilson for a hit?
No keep
Would keep. Bruce said he may get a rest at some point, so keep eyes on him.
Dier or Aurier?
Dier - safer. Aurier may get Jose treatment and a match off after a poor mistake last time out perhaps? Also, may want to give Doherty a game occasioanlly so Dier safer. Also takes some FK's.
Based on january transfer rumors, any player that can be a good FPL pick?
Chilwell for Castange? Yea or nay?
No.
Better options out there. Depends who your defence is.. Dallas, Coufal, Stones, Matip all better picks imo.
Chances of Chilwell dropping? Dropped pace earlier and even went back from -92 to -91 but now at -95%...
Who score more in the next 5GW:
A. Cancelo
B. Dias
C. DierCancelo
Welbeck to Adams for free?
A. Yes
B. NoA
How many games will Walker miss? Cancelo should be 90% nailed while Walker is out, correct?
Bench 1
A. Welbeck
B. Dallas
C. Zouma
Dallas
Dallas
Dallas
I'm seriously, seriously drunk and will no longer be able to offer any insightful comments to this article. My apologises. Merry Christmas all.
Stay safe...
Danke. Bleib sicher und gesund, alle. x
McCarthy
Targett cresswell robbo
Salah son bruno Torres
Kane bamford welbeck
Kilman chilwell riedweld
A. Gtg
B. Chilwell to taylor/cancelo incase Torres doesnt play (-4)With Jesus out, I think I'd stick with Torres. He has played when both Jesus and Aguero have missed out in the past so hopefully that will happen again.
Well I hope so. Let's see would hate to minus for nothing
Just looking at this GW only as a Chilwell replace (WC in 16):
A) Cancelo
B) Dias
C) Matip
All 3 should start this GW. City CS% higher than Liverpool's and Cancelo ceiling > Dias so you'd think A > B > C?
they re all good options. Agreed with ABC
Agreed
Thanks, all. Best of luck this GW 🙂
Is balbuena nailed?
Before I take a hit to bring him on for lamptey
He seems to be - but just checking
Thanks
I dont see any reason why he would lose his spot, been excellent.
Yes
3 years, 3 months agoGet rid of Chilwell or Bellerin for -4?
