Top FanTeam tips from 2020/21 champion and €200k winner Josh Wooldridge

A then D

B if no DCL

Sa, Meslier

Blimming difficult

Need more time to figure it out for me.
One of the reasons not to WC I reckon.

Sa for good fixtures & the better defence (vs Leeds)

Such a useless asset last year and now in the bonus twice so far

I think he's the favoured partner if Romero comes in

I’ve heard about 20 different diagnoses on podcasts. Don’t trust any of them.

So no idea myself.

This is from the Liverpool site on an article about Minamino -

“ While not as bad as some feared, it could still see him miss a few games of the club's Premier League campaign following the international break.”

Paul Joyce and James Pearce usually are on top of it
Not serious would mean 2/3 weeks rest incl this international break so maybe misses the next 2 at least

3

2 if DCL fit & starting

Would you captain Bruno if option 3?
This is part of my thinking too
Looking at A with Greenwood/Torres/Jota the 3 options

C

C

Bruno-Ings-Tsimikas to CR7-Jota-def of your choice now and Barnes to Raph next week?

Why raphina
He could be banned by Fifa

Bruno, Ings > Ronaldo, Havertz?

Indeed and whilst this week lukaku is prime option next week and week after we'll get the flat track bully absent from the entire match!

Yeah, I kind of got the same feeling. It was analytical but for sure not 100 % objective.

Could mean Pogba and/or Bruno are the player(s) to getin fairness, combined with Lukaku

He's a content creator. I don't think he would ever say anything to try and influence the masses to boost his own rank mind you, that's not in his nature

Also, he mentioned about Ronaldo not getting enough time to train with United and settling in.

That’s now taken care of by Portugal releasing him from international duty and him being back in Manchester.

Gets to train for more than a week with United now.

Stars are aligning.

Watched it also.

Cognitive basis for sure. Don’t think he was aware to be honest.

Plenty was discussed but I don’t think there was much mention about OSG management style what we may expect on that front

Not sure a top striker needs to bed into a team TBH. It's not like someone coming into a defensive back line or a central midfield partnership. Sure there will be some tweaking and getting used to the runs and movement for the team.

Let's face it Newcastle routinely surrender possession and only play on the counter so there will plenty of opportunity for the Man Utd players to work out how to make chances.

I had two FTs and wasn’t even tempted by Ronaldo. He should do well, but suggesting someone’s reasons for not wanting him equate to being in denial or ignoring points staring at us seems a bit of a stretch

He was giving a counter arguement as any good statistician would do.

He still thinks Ronaldo is a great choice - but makes good points in United being low ranked to the rest of the league on open play crosses vs. Juventus who were practically top of theirs.

He has since tweeted a little on how United change their style a little to accommodate Cavani, and that therefore are able to do the same for Ronaldo.

He isn't saying they have players who can't cross, just that they haven't been doing it enough/well enough.

Look forward to listening to the podcast. He will get service from Shaw though just like how Pool use their full backs

The only reason I can see 343 is for DCL (plus other options emerging out of nowhere)

I think you, like many RMTs I'm seeing now, have a string of rotatable mid-price mids. You have to prepare for one or even two on a bad week, to go missing. My default formation is 343, but I expect to go forward with a 433 on multiple occasions. For next week I'm even looking at a freakish 523 if Raphinha goes missing.

Exactly the same here too Mate!!! I’m back and forth with it all the time, 3-4-3 just feels a safer formation I guess, but I’m really torn!!! I have draft for both formations ready if my decision goes down to the wire!!!

I have 5 in midfield and agree to an extent but this logic isn’t good.

DCL is nailed. Greenwood won’t be soon. Jota won’t be when Firmino is fit. Torres? Seriously? Like how Mahrez was playing really well and then got benched against Norwich and Arsenal?

DCL is a better option than all.

3-5-2 is the goat formation. Never let's me down. There's always more differential options in midfield

I’m a firm 3-5-2 player but that assumes 2 premiums in the midfield.

I can see that shifting to 3-4-3 if I make a fwd a premium (which I likely will).

I'm with you my friend. It's more volatile though

No

Not Traore

No

Don’t like the double Wolves defence. One is enough. I also would want to see Arsenal actually keep a clean sheet. I wouldn’t touch any of them at present.

I find it really useful. The only problem is it doesn't quite integrate price changes, so I need to keep a manual record too.

How do you go about getting it mate?

My non WC team has the same attack except Grealish for Torres, same gk, TAA and Coady same as well.

That makes me incrediblely happy to have a similar team to WCers with just a -4.

Not a fan

I don’t like double Wolves defence. Ones enough. Too much rotation risk in midfield with Jota, Greenwood & Torres. You would have to bank on Duffy if one benched & his time as a starter is likely limited once Lamptey returns to full fitness

No, you can field defenders. Not worth the hit.

Probably.

But it wont really matter come the gameweek Ronaldo will be so highly owned that we will all be in it together.

2 pts v 1 maybe

I wish i could nail that sexy tomato

Nailed for 2 pointers

Torres

Yeah I’d do Torres.

No Trent No Party

+TAA yes

Must be someone better than Rice for England. Looks good for West Ham, but not convinced he adds a great deal at international level other than passing between defenders who are capable of doing that themselves.

Pickfords got a mistake in him, otherwise solid.

Rudiger - safer starter

Laporte is risky but also a threat.
Rudiger is safer choice

A message to you: Rudi

Rudiger for sure

Rudiger

I don’t buy Pogba as a truly good long term option for FPL. 100x would do Greenwood over him for example.

Wouldn't do that before seeing how Bruno does with Ronaldo in the team. Villa's fixtures look tricky for wins on paper, Ings is well capable of scoring on grass in them.

I'd pick Greenwood ahead of Pogba. Otherwise fine.

Woukdn't pick Pogba. A lot of potential options for United up front and he can easily be dropped into midfield, where he's a lesser FPL pick.

I probably wait one more weeks before getting Wolves players. Jimenez/Traore looks good

Jimi only, as Neto is out.

Jimi very tempting

Maybe wait to see if Jimi is banned for missing the internationals.

I like the likes of Traore

Thanks, Traore and/or Jimi then.

Pep said he was Vardy like in his movement. He could turn out to be the bargain of the season.

Hard for even Pep to drop Torres with the form he is showing tbf.

Did he score a hattrick in an end if season game when they had the league won and scored 5 or 6 goals? Nearly half his goal tally for last season albeit mostly from the bench. And 2 goals and an assist agaunst a poor defence but nothing v Spurs or in 60 minutes v Norwich. Not that impressive in Euros though most of the Spain attack were poor. No lack of talent or ability but I don't think he's consistent enough just yet. Get Grealish.

You're not playing Semedo gw4 ???

Looks good. Not sure about Traore. Plenty of effort, low on end product.

Rotation for the two in midfield, most likely.

We only have Kante, Jorginho & Kovacic for it currently.

Kante has on and off injuries, Kovacic doesn't play 90 consistently & Jorginho needs a rest here and there.
