What impact will Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival have in FPL?

DCL probably

Jimi warrants a mention with fixts, but not for me, Jesus rotation/wing and Leeds just not on it for me yet

A i am also thinking of Ings out and was also toying with Jesus but his nailedness is a worry right?

DCL

All day long provided you have greenwood

Maybe if you have Greenwood and/or plans to get Ronaldo. Son's price point is annoying for me, but he still getting the pts

Yes for sure

Why would you transfer Bruno out right before he plays Newcastle at home though?

Would be nervous with no pool defense.

Looks good, my thoughts -
Grealish is not worth it inimo but Torres is definitely worth the risk.
Shaw is too expensive, don't see the point in owning him over a spurs defender

The defense is held together with a cheeto

However no cs for most atm, so why not! Prob wouldn't keep Ayling.

Taa too good not to have

why is everyone putting Ronaldo when we dont know how much he'll be

That defence looks really bad.

Ronaldo, lukaku and salah would be at least 1.5× as much as trent. Do you think that they will score 1.5× more points than trent. You would IMHO, be relying on double points for captaincy (which as we all know ,is a bit of a lottery, especially with 3 such big hitters).
I feel that Trent is perhaps the best VALUE in fpl and therefore essential.
Not keen on shaw either with the fixture swing soon.
Shaw and Ayling would be the two I would look to find alternatives for.
It is a fairly weak bench in case of covid related issues.
I like most of the team though. Good luck with your choices.

He looks like he's starting to warm up now. Plus great fixtures coming up.

I'm waiting until Leeds improve before jumping on the Bam wagon.

Samedo Saiss

Sa or Semedo

Saiss or Marcel, I would have said Coady but his substitution yesterday might give you 2nd thoughts

Ait Nouri if he is nailed.

Otherwise plain and boring Coady will do the job for the cheapest price.

B

Or Ronaldo, Jota and Torres.

What about getting rid of Barnes?

Not on WC but would go for C probably

B, but I'm now toying with trying to keep TAA. Not sure if I can realistically do it while keeping the balance but if I can enjoy a few more rises and Ronaldo is 12m then it's possible

Ron & Jota

Torres pep roulette lol

Those transfers will be really popular in gw4

Bobby has an injury i guess?

Didn't firmino get injured on Saturday?

Bobby will start the bigger games, which will be in the CL games over next few weeks rather then the league

Jota looks like an absolute must-have if Firmino is out for a while

*very detailed GW3 stats.

You did the right thing

12.5

12.5

my transfer plans require him to be 12, so he will come in at 12.5 and give me a decision to make (will probably opt to bring in a chelsea player early be that mount of lukaku)

12

13.0 I think. Anything less and he's too easy to transfer straight in without radically altering your team

Honestly think it’s between Gray and Traore for form and fixtures.

Benny is still the one for me, even though he blanked at the weekend, he was in positions to score or assist

Torres is the one I think is worth playing Pep roulette with.

Sarr is too raw and erratic, so not for me. Traore is Traore not much more needs to be said

I've ignored Arsenal for one as despite of great incoming fixtures, there is nothing to talk about right now.

Torres for the gamble, Benny for the more secure pick

Not bothered with the others atm

I'm not going near Traore. Wolves can't seem to buy a goal right now.

Torres seems a no-brainer. Playing for city and OOP as a striker. I think at 7M he is worth the punt of rotation risk. Leicester defence doesn't look very good right now either so there could be quite a few goals in that game. Southampton could be another haul.

Will be even more rotation risk with City when KDB and Foden is back so keep that in mind.

If you're looking for a 6.0m player whos scored 7 goals in three years, then Traoré is your man.

I think you need to watch Wolves games live there is no stat for composure. If Traore was pointing a machine gun at you, you would fancy your chances. The guy has no vision and cannot pass either.

I'd take Trincao over Traore

Yeah like it, good enough for me

seems good to me, id probably start with DCL for next week if you are happy to book a free transfer.
either that or ensure you have enough money to bring in the raph for GW5

Hard to wc with 2ft

Can always do a -4 and if more news or transfers occur, hit wc later in the week

I would just sell Wilson Ings Barnes and take a -4. Maybe even a -8 if needs be. But wouldn’t wildcard that team with 2 FTs.

C or B

C

C

Yes

Do you have 2 FT?

I'm having the same dilemma. To get the team I really want, I'd have to WC or spend 16 points, but, the changes would be pretty few overall for a WC (3 outfield players + 2 keepers).

I think if you feel you need it then use it. I used mine last year in GW2 and didn't find it was a massive issue, it helped me set up better for the next 6-10 weeks and helped me. I've hit the button already, said I wouldn't as I got Lukaku in already but Ronaldo and the fires I need to put out (Tsimi, Barnes, Wilson, etc.) to me means it made sense.

He is highly owned, but I’m not disappointed with his returns personally

Sold him last week because it was the only way I could get to Antonio, it’s scary but he’s not looking as good imo

Stats are terrible so far this season. I think he is suffering from the lack of a consistent partner on that side. He works really well with Rashford, but now you have Pogba (hogs returns) or Sancho (settling in).

Not essential with those current points, and lucky to have a cs this week too

I mean value isn't bad for the united defense, but with Pogba and Fred cm, there will be blood

He is far from essential, a lot better value out there. Some people are owning him due to fear because of his ownership but will inevitably come down soon enough

Got a bit of a euro hangover as well

The key for Shaw is who is playing on the left side with him. He needs to trust a player either a defensive mid or a left sided player to cover his overlaps.

11 from 3 games, with a few more decent fixtures to come.
he is going to come in at pretty much exactly where I would've expected a 5.5 defender to perform - something around 4ppg.

will be shifted for James (or a discounted Chilwell if he starts starting) for the fixture swing.

That's just sad honestly. Must be what all the Chelsea loanees feel like. Hope he gets a move that works out for him

because Greenwood/Torres exist and are scoring more points at the same price point

His price dropped to 7.3 before GW3 started

3

Covid? I thought he was just off to Argentina with Martinez?

Keep Bamford. The party's just getting started.

Whats wrong with Bamford. Also covid?

trade off between maximising team value, and maximising information gain before making a decision.

without this element the game would lack a dimension which makes it so much more interesting for active and invested managers.

I ignore price rises now unless I think the player represents 'value' and is looking lively when I watch live games. Got rid of my two Arsenal disasters ESR and Tierney for Duffy + Benrahma gw3 free transfers - for example. But was willing to take price drops on Harvey Barnes + Buendia. Basically if they have a good fixture or I can't bench I keep, I am trying to be more patient. Loads of options this year.

Something like that, trying to stay away from Pep roulette this year.

The haul against Arsenal is his first since that Newcastle game on 14.05.2021. Prior to that, he also scored 2 more PL goals for City during the whole 2021

his pattern is something like 2,2,1,19,1,0,2,17 etc
If you want a 6,5,7,6,2,6,2 type of player go for Mount.

Torres game straight after his Newcastle hat trick I remember he started it but then got subbed off early when his team mate got a red card. There was only a small handful of games left in the season iirc

Kids and their new toys

Frantic lot after CR7

He was facing Chelsea I assume most switched to Son.

Safer to hold off being international break and all. Doubt will rise tonight anyway and then there may be various DCL > Ronaldo transfers making rise not happen

Im not sure there is a meaningful difference between him and Bamford looking at the fixtures, both on pens, both involved at the sharp end for their teams. So if funds are a key consideration, it might be better to look at him as an alternative.
