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.
All comments are RMT or who shall I buy?
Never about the article !
Anyone starting chilwell incase. Rumours he trained. Also out of ten what are Torres chances of starting
rumours where?
Pictures seen on social media
There’s pictures of him training?
Good call to start Chilwell, he won't be subbed in if he doesn't start. I like the odds of Torres starting but we never know with Pep
Are there any rumours besides him posting a picture on instagram from the locker room?
Just the pic really
But then if he’s on bench he may come on for 1min. So why would u start him?
Hmmm true. Good point
I think he either starts or doesn’t play at all because he’s injured. If he’s fit enough for the bench I think Frank plays him
+1 It's not like he's coming back from a long injury and needs to be eased back in with a late runout.
Torres will be playing up top. Supposedly he scored a couple in training and sold the most Christmas raffles so he’s nailed on
I'm really wondering how vital it is to have Son over this stretch. Thinking about whether Pulisic + TAA is better than Son + Coufal (plus some minor down grades like Wood > Rodrigo, Taylor > Lowton) and coming to the conclusion that it very well may be
*miswrote, the minor downgrades apply to the Pulisic + TAA option
Similar dilemma here: Kane+Pulisic or Werner+Son.
Leaning towards first combo.
If you have Kane, than it's Puli+TAA imo.I do have Kane and i'm starting to come to your line of thinking. From your dilemma, I would go Kane + Pulisic
Thx mate. Cheers!
He’s a great option. No one is essential though. It depends on your team and chip plan
I think at the moment i'm back to keeping him as I plan to swap him for Rashford before the DGW. It definitely does depend on the individual's calls
Son,not time for Pulisic gamble
I think Son is definitely the safer (and smarter) choice especially if I have a way to ship him painlessly in time for the DGW. Pulisic appeals as I think Chelsea should tick over and have decent DGW fixtures but he doesn't have the haul potential I see with Son over the next couple
Got burned by Pulisic this season,got him for -4 before his pre match injury and sold for -4 week after.
With games every 2-3 days i would stay away.Good point about fixture congestion
I won't have Son but will have Kane (+Salah, Bruno and KDB).
No Son is always a worry but I'm happy with this for now although II do worry Son could do a lot of damage against Leed's man-to-man system in gw17. Will decide over the next couple of gw whether I want to Hokey-cokey Bruno to Son in gw17 for that and gw18 (would get Bruno in gw19FH anyway and then back in gw20 would be the general plan).
Much can happen between now and then though. I will likely do some hokey-cokey for 18 but whether it's Son in gw17 or Sterling (or even Aguero if he looks back on it) gw18 I'm a long way off deciding yet.Interesting perspective on Hokey Cokey with Bruno. With the form he's in I would personally say he's bordering on fixture proof and I would find someone else to sell but the fact that you're planning the Free Hit for 19 seems like a very viable swap if you aren't going to do FH in 18. I'm planning on Free Hitting GW 18 and if all are fit I'm really enticed by the prospect of a Sterling-KdB-Aguero triple up. Without many big hitters playing that week I figure I may as well come out flamethrowing.
Son and Coufal from those options for me.
Gives me much more flexibility to go that route. I can swap Son for Rash for DGW19 and then oust Kane for Aguero/Werner/Vardy GW 20. Can't do those moves with so much money tied up in TAA (not that he's a bad option at all ofc)
I don't think Pulisic is worth it, especially if you have to do some additional transfers to afford him
this would be for my wildcard before 16
Play one?
A Targett CRY H
B Lookman SOU HB
Why Lookman out of interest?
Always play the attacker
A
A easy
A
Play Justin (MUN) or Taylor (lee)
Taylor
I'd play Justin. Could be a tight game, Leicester showed againt spurs that they can deal with the counter which is where utd are particularly strong. Leeds will be Leeds, full throttle attack, they will likely score at least one, probably more.
I was pretty set on Taylor but thinking this could be the case yeah. Thanks both!
I have both but playing Taylor ahead of Justin. Both utd n leeds will score but see more of an attacking threat with Taylor v Leeds
Justin, Burnley will get pumped
Justin
Justin easily
Hey, what lineup do you guys expect brighton to start? lamptey 100% out right?
Latest News: Tariq Lamptey (hamstring) is set to miss out yet again for Brighton although Graham Potter expects the player to return "pretty soon" after Sunday's trip to West Ham.
Which is better
A. Mercedes x 1
B. Ford x 4
Assuming that you’re not in a car rental business nor have other members of family who can drive.
Is J Lewis likely to be back in starting line up?
Bruce likely to play 9 at the back, so Yes
Maybe
No major issues so thinking of getting in TAA/Robbo but the only way I see fit is by getting rid of Dias? So should I do Dias to TAA/Robbo for free?
McCarthy
Coufal Dias Targett
Son KDB Salah (C) Fernandes Podence
DCL Bamford
4mill Taylor Justin BrewsterI wouldn't do it this week. Maybe next?
Thanks for the reply, feel TAA/Robbo could haul which is why i am keen for this week, not sure
For free yes.
Hard to choose between TAA or Robbo thoughThink its time for TAA to come back on the scene now and hes more attacking imo
Is it him or Robbo on corners now?
And neco may play odd game as TAA has come back from injury.Think wait a week and review it after West Brom?
Good idea..
Robbo is much more attacking
For free it's probably worth it but building the 2FT buffer in case of injury during this bust spell also has value.
Go with your gut, which would upset you more,
- You do it and they blank with Dias cs & bp
- You don't do it and they haul but you have 2FT
Any news on Burnley Man U being rescheduled for gw 18? Looking unlikely to happen now?

* Blank double game week startigies
* players news
* what to do this week with 3 game weeksLoads have been discussed here mate and also in some articles
Read the RMTs and questions posters ask and you'll get a clue what strategies people are weighing up. You should find out which ones appeal to you by doing that. Player news is on the FFS homepage just check the tweets scroller. I assume you mean what to do this week in terms of prepping for the blank and double. Everyone has different chips and different plans. That is exactly why people ask questions specific to their team. Don't mean to be short mate but these aren't exactly meaningful contributions on your end
Any thoughts on this ? Struggling to decide - particularly on whether to stick or twist with mahrez

Nope
After a 7-0 everything is possible. Maybe 5%?
Chilwell on -99% now 🙁
2 hours to go
Yeah seems like we might not have the time to wait for tomorrow if you want to transfer him out before a drop
Grealish, Chilwell, to Raphina and Robinson for -4 or hold this week .
I was going to hold but can't afford another dropI guess Robinson is Robertson? Then possibly, but wouldn't want to lose Grealish this week..
WWYD? Im at a loss..

I guess James and Chilwell and Cancelo are your 3 biggest worries. Dias is a keeper.
Move one out with your FT and that should free up some ca$h for improvements up top.James and Chillwell both out? Cancelo will prob play with Walter out with Covid. Thinking maybe James+Chillwell to TAA+Allioski?
Any statagy for blank/double gw for people that have used up their free hit?
*strategy
You need spurs and Man City
Got two spurs, Son and Kane. I'm. Thinking go into gw 18 with two transfers and hopefully have 6 or 7 playing players, then use 2 transfers and a hit to bring in dgw players?
What the likelihood of Chilwell playing this weekend?
50%
Absolutely zero
I've sold him. He's unlikely to start both games.
Yes I used my free hit
My strategy :
8 players he gw 18 ( by free transfer)
11 players gw19

HelpNever, ever, EVER, pick him in your FPL squad. Even at LEI he blew hot and cold. Sorry, I know that doesn't help but it's the best I can do.
Chilwell -102.9.
I hope i bought him at 5.6m and not 5.5m
Any way of finding out?transfers page ,list view,all the info you will require is there...

LEI have recently improved with some players back from injuries. Have anyone thought about Maddison (7.1) after MUN? The fixtures are fine: cry new blank SOU+CHE.
