FPL Gameweek 4 round-up: Saturday goals, assists, bonus and injuries

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) bagged a double-digit haul on his second Manchester United debut as the Portuguese veteran’s 2.2 million owners were rewarded for their investment on Saturday.

No player has racked up more FPL points than the United number seven in Gameweek 7 so far, although Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) went stride for stride with his fellow premium forward and matched that 13-point tally.

The Red Devils’ 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle United was one of eight Premier League matches that took place on a busy Saturday, the main talking points of which we’ll discuss in this our first Gameweek 4 round-up.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of the day’s games but in the meantime, our resurrected Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

KEY FPL TALKING POINTS

  • Deprived of the services of Son Heung-min (£10.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) and lining up in a diamond formation, Tottenham Hotspur managed only two shots in the whole of their clash with Crystal Palace (none in the first half) and have the worst expected goals tally (0.09) in Gameweek 4 so far. The Eagles, by contrast, topped Saturday’s xG table with 3.00.
  • Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) scored twice on his debut and Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) seemingly consolidated his position as Palace’s first-choice penalty taker, stepping up to take the Eagles’ spot-kick with Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m) on the field. Of just as much interest from an FPL perspective was the performance of budget midfielder Conor Gallagher (£5.5m,), who delivered two attacking returns for the second Gameweek in a row. On free-kicks and corners, he was involved in nine of the 18 shots that Palace had.
  • Mason Greenwood (£7.7m), Paul Pogba (£7.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£12.5m) are all set to be tied on 31 points in FPL if the bonus points are delivered as expected. No midfielder has more this season.
  • Shane Duffy (£4.2m) is now the joint-best ‘value’ player in the game, returning 5.2 points per million spent. He was part of a Brighton defence that kept their second shut-out in four matches in a 1-0 win over Brentford.
  • Last season’s best two backlines, Manchester City and Chelsea, are now joint-top along with Spurs for clean sheets this season (three each) despite the pair being in the bottom half of our Season Ticker over the opening four Gameweeks. Chelsea struggled from set plays against a lively Aston Villa, however, and they’ve now allowed 17 chances from dead-ball situations to be conceded over the last two Gameweeks.
  • Pep Guardiola named an unchanged starting XI for the third successive match, the first time he has ever done that at City. It’s safe to assume that more changes will be in the offing once the Champions League starts in midweek and indeed Thomas Tuchel’s tinkering has already begun in earnest, with the benched Mason Mount (£7.5m) and Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) two of six changes that the Chelsea manager made.
  • Dean Smith paired Danny Ings (£8.0m) and Ollie Watkins (£7.3m) in the same side for the first time, turning to a 3-5-2 to accommodate both strikers. Watkins was heavily involved and registered three times as many touches of the ball than his strike partner, who was hooked midway through the second half. Watkins also had six shots to Ings’ one.
  • Marcal‘s (£4.5m) two attacking returns in Wolves’ 2-0 win over Watford were his first ever in FPL. The left-back banked two assists despite not creating a single chance in Opta’s eyes: a Marcal cross was first turned into his own net by Francisco Sierralta (£4.4m), before the Portuguese defender’s blocked shot was converted by debutant substitute Hee-Chang Hwang (£5.5m). Marcal and fellow wing-back Nelson Semedo (£4.9m) had three of the six big chances that Wolves created.
  • Arsenal have had 52 attempts on goal in their two meetings with non-big six sides this season. Thirty of those came in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Norwich City.

INJURIES AND BANS

FPL Gameweek 4 round-up: Saturday goals, assists, bonus and injuries 7

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) and Japhet Tanganga (£4.5m) will both miss Gameweek 5 through suspension after being sent off for two bookable offences on Saturday.

On suspension tightrope watch, meanwhile, Paul Pogba (£7.7m) has reached three yellow cards after just four Gameweeks. Another two bookings before United have played a total of 19 league matches and he’ll be suspended for one game.

Brighton’s win came at a cost, with Adam Webster (£4.5m) limping off with a hamstring problem – something that may aid Shane Duffy‘s (£4.2m) chances of staying in this Albion side, however.

The Seagulls were also without Pascal Gross (£6.0m) and Enock Mwepu (£5.9m), who were both self-isolating.

“I need to see but he said [Webster] felt something there but we will see how bad that is. Enock was pinged from a flight and Pascal is just self-isolating.” – Graham Potter

Edinson Cavani (£8.4m) missed Manchester United’s win over Newcastle with a knock that isn’t expected to keep him out for long, while Rob Holding (£4.3m) was absent from Arsenal’s win over Norwich with a bruised knee.

Son Heung-min (£10.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) were absent from Spurs’ defeat at Crystal Palace, while Eric Dier (£4.6m) was forced off after just 11 minutes of the loss at Selhurst Park.

Nuno Espirito Santo was, as ever, a bit thin on details after the game:

“I don’t know. [Son] doesn’t look well. Stevie, let’s wait and see this week. Hopefully, they will improve and be available for the next game, let’s see.

“Let’s wait and see [on Dier].” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Among the more notable returnees on Saturday were Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Jannik Vestergaard (£4.9m), who shared 90 minutes of game-time between them.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) were unused substitutes for Manchester City.

Callum Wilson (£7.4m), missing with a thigh injury, will be “touch and go” to feature in Gameweek 5, meanwhile.

FPL OWNERSHIP AND CAPTAINCY – TOP 10K

Ronaldo’s ownership shot up from nought to 65% in the top 10k over the last fortnight and he was the most-captained player among these leading managers, with just over half handing him the armband.

Ronaldo and Lukaku were the only players in the above ‘most popular’ list to bank double-digit hauls so far but the Belgian is a veritable differential by comparison.

While almost 99% of the leading FPL managers had to stomach Antonio’s red card, over 7% endured the double ignominy of captaining him.

There was a big spike in Wildcard usage in Gameweek 4, with over 17% of the top 10k deploying the chip.

The Brighton goalkeeper double-up, bargain-bin defenders and ‘out of position’ mid-price midfielders are features of the template squad, with over 85% also opting for Ronaldo.

    Buzzing to own both Lukaku & CR7 this GW, I must say that I’m more excited about the former given the quality of the goals and being 1m cheaper, more of the same next GW from them both I hope!

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Went for Kaku over Ron, feels like a win this week

  2. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you double Leeds attack on WC?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raphina & Bamford for sure

      Fixtures are perfect

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Bambam and Raph then yes

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years

      Yep

    4. Arteta

      I started with Harrison and can’t get rid unless I wildcard.
      Would be keen for double up

  3. Bob B
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in Lukaku if it means having to play one of
    Sissoko, Brownhill, Duffy or Livramento every week?

    Is it worth it for Salah, Lukaku and Ronaldo?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      'Tis not

    2. JBG

    Antonio to DCL?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not if you can bench him

  5. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Edouad going to be the
    Main man???? 6.5 a nice price and better fixtures after Liverpool!!

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      *Edouard

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years

      Rather stretch to WIlf if structure allows

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Or gallagher

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Both nice options from next week I think

  6. Visible Confusion
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Help please, I just wildcarded last week and wondering how I should approach Antonio. Currently have:
    Sanchez, Steele
    TAA, Shaw, Christensen, Semedo, Livramento
    Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Benrahma, Gray
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis

    I'm thinking either
    A) Antonio > Bamford or
    B) Antonio > DCL and Benrahm > Sarr for -4.
    Any thoughts or other ideas?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hold

      1. Visible Confusion

  7. g40steve

    Ronaldo or Lukaku up top with Antonio & Bamford?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      the Ronaldo now, Lukaku GW7/8 makes sense really

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ronaldo for next two or just go for Lukaku, can see Chelsea rolling over Spurs.

        1. BERGKOP
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yep. I'd personally go Lukaku now.

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which option?

    A) Benrahma to Raphina
    B) Antonio to Bamford

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would have to play 1 of Livra, Sissoko or Marchal for absent Antonio

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For a week I'd live with that; Marcal fine.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers!

    2. WVA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

  9. Arteta
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you activate wildcard if this was your team?

    I thought about it for a whole day. With * are marked players who will fall in price sooner or later. I'm gonna lose 0.5 in the coming week, perhaps even 0.6 if Bruno joins them. I know that we play for points and not value, but WC would save me a lot of cash which allows more flexibility in the future.

    Bachmann | Foster*
    Alexander-Arnold | Tierney | White* | Livramento | Tsimikas*
    Salah | Bruno | Benrahma | Sarr | Brownhill*
    Lukaku | Antonio* | Toney*

    1. clodhopper
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. I Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like a decent enough team to me.

    3. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. It feels great to have everything ideal (for a week at least) but does it really matter if Antonio, Bruno and White drop if you're going to keep them anyway? A couple of transfers might be better.

  10. SAUCY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How about this 3-4-3? Or too risky starting Livramento every week?

    Sanchez
    Trent | Shaw | Livramento
    Salah | Raphinha | Sarr | Gallagher
    Ronaldo | Lukaku | Antonio

    Steele | Williams | Omobamidele | Scarlett

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My eyes, my eyes

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What’s wrong with it

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Liv playing every week and Liv and Williams both playing next week with no other cover
          Gallagher not a realistic long term option surely
          3 prems breaks it, Ron for now and down to Kaku in acouple of weeks?

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mcarthur instead of Scarlett*

    3. stevehaigh84
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Too risky. Your leaving yourself very short of options in defence and relying too heavily on your premium players.

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Current WC team better on link?

    4. WVA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you start Liv or Williams this week, they rotate nicely. Love the team btw

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Liv over Williams

  11. The Parrot
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So glad to own Ronaldo

    What a great watch. Good to see him back in the shirt. Can't help but be excited by the guy

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Shaw TAA White Webster* Tsimikas*
    Salah Traore Mount* Benrahma* Gilmour
    CR7 Ings* Antonio*

    1FT and 1.0 itb

    A. WC
    B. Mount/Benrahma and Antonio/Ings to Raphinha and DCL (-4)

  13. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How are fellow non wildcarders doing?

    Im on 35 (-4) but with Salah (c), DCL and TAA to go, Im still optimistic

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      45 (no hits or Ronaldo) - Mo, Jota, Trent and Raph to go - happy enough

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      69(-4) having a stormer but without Lpool assets tomorrow so could go pear shaped

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Crikey well played

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers mate, risked the following and it’s paid off handsomely thus far:

          Ings, Wilson, Salah to CR7, Lukaku(c), Gray (-4)

          Will be getting Salah for Son next GW, doesn’t feel right being without him!

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      40 with Salah(C), Bam, TAA left, plus Brownhill off bench

    4. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      55 with Salah, Raph, and Gray left.

      According to LiveFPL, wildcarders are only beating non-wildcarders by about 9 points on average for this GW, and have probably had more players play (including greater chance of their captain having already played), so the true gap might be smaller than that.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      43 with Salah and Trent to go. So not great. And Digne, but he's not doing much.

    6. I Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      35 with Salah, DCL, TAA and Raph to go.

  14. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think Ronaldo is a trap tbh.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They said so before this GW too

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I know, but I'm still thinking.

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who knows, what does make me laugh is how dispensable and reactionary everyone is with regards to someone like Bruno, who scored a hat trick in GW1.

      All in takes is a Kane hat trick next week then he will be suddenly rushed in lol

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not really sold on a Kane hat trick tbh.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's a good point.

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No offence but you're literally panic posting about taking another big hit after playing a WC in order to get Ronaldo in, which is ridiculously reactionary too.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'm sorry but that's totally supposition.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            What do you mean? He played a WC which includes neither of Ronaldo/Lukaku/Salah and is posting about taking hits to get them all in.

            Two of the big boys have delivered and rather than sticking with the reason the WC was played, he's reacting big time.

            I'm not saying it's wrong to make those moves, but it is still massively reactionary.

            1. SAUCY SALAH
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              I actually have no idea why there weren’t in my WC, I guess that’s what happens when you play it at 10:50.

              I even had a draft with Ronaldo and Lukaku and Bruno, but forgot about it and when I activated it I got cold feet about Kane maybe punishing, and in the end effectively made only 4 moves, to bring in:

              Alonso
              Greenwood
              Torres
              Sarr

              Regretted it immediately

              1. Hazz
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                I'd forgo Ronaldo if you have Bruno already, for the same reason you went without him on WC. You'll probably want to be too dependant on United assets soon - and they are two very expensive ones.

                Lukaku could wait a couple of weeks but can understand wanting to get him in.

                Salah... Probably the most important one but argument can be made.

                I'd advise you to to be as massively hit heavy. Premiums could all flop next week.

                1. SAUCY SALAH
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  The reason I didn’t get Ronaldo on WC (aside from poor time planning) is Kane.
                  I didn’t have Greenwood in my pre WC team so could have had him instead of Kane without Bruno sacrifice.

                  Part of me thinks too that it’s only GW4 and Kane etc could start firing soon, I dunno, but either way really regret playing the WC now.

                  Sorry what do you mean by hit heavy?

            2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Are you talking to me.
              Are you TALKING to me!

        2. SAUCY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It’s early on, nought wrong with that really, the reason I haven’t done it yet is because I don’t want to lose Bruno

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Why are you talking about taking a HUGE hit to get in Lukaku/Ronaldo etc?

            Would you have done it if they had blanked?

            1. SAUCY SALAH
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Trying to plan longer term what team could look like, I reality I get both for a -8, but again, losing Bruno for -8 sounds awful

      3. The Parrot
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

      Good thing I caught his brace & am planning to sell in GW7 if that's the case.

      I'm sure he'll get his goal numbers, he always does, but what I don't get is people ditching Bruno for hits. He's still a good option in his own right.

        Sensible thinking, Yerrrrr...It's a brain fart innit.

    Now Antonio is out I don’t have enough cover

    Do I

    A downgrade Antonio (7,3 or less and get Ronny in for lukaku)
    B forget ronaldo this week (Get bamford for Antonio And keep lukaku)
    C stick with original plan (Ronaldo in for lukaku)keep Antonio and play Gillmour

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B for me. Newcastle still very leaky and Bamford could haul

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would do nothing and ride it out for a week.

    So who all had both CR7 and Lukaku in their teams this weekend?

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Me with WC

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 8 Years

      Bought both in as part of a (-4), delighted 🙂

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Everyone who played their WC on here apparently! 😀

  17. ZakyJ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So I'm getting Ronaldo but what midfielder do I need to get:

    A) Pogba
    B) Greenwood
    C) Raphinha
    D) ANother

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha

    2. BERGKOP

    Next week ( assuming no other fires to put out)

    A Play team below
    B Antonio to Bamford on free
    C Antonio to DCL and Benrahma to Trincão or ESM -4

    Sanchez
    TAA Coufal Ayling Shaw
    Salah Greenwood Jota Raphinha Benrahma
    Ronaldo

    Foster Livramento Scarlett Antonio*

    1. billnats
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A. Save the transfer and reassess

    2. WVA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Team looks OK, wouldn't take a hit

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba seems a good long term option.

    1. billnats
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trying to figure out if I bring him in along with Vardy.

      Or just go Salah with the better fixtures

  20. billnats
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Keep Son & Antonio and use bench players for a week (they have horrid fixtures)
    B) Vardy & Pogba (-8)
    C) Salah & Denis (-8)
    D) Keep Son. Antonio to Bamford (-4)

  21. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Team is linked.
    240 points 1.7m rank and don’t own Ron or Rom
    Do I activate wildcard now just to stay in touch or wait til gw7/8?
    Would need to take a hit to get Ron via Bruno
    Confused but don’t want to be stubborn
    Champions league rotation doesn’t help

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      WC

      that's a horror show of a team sorry

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers G, is what it is.
        Probably no sugar coating it.
        Barnes Harrison and not starting with Antonio has been a shocker.
        All eyes on UCL/EL teams then this week

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is that the right team? The linked team is on 3m OR.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm need to check the link that’s not right

        Sanchez
        Trent Shaw Coufal White Tsimi
        Salah Bruno Harrison Benrahma Sarr
        Antonio Jimenez Deeney
        Just bought Sarr and Jimmy in this gameweek

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It doesn't look so awful to me. You could do Bruno and one of your forwards to Ronaldo and a midfielder for -4 if you prefer not to WC.

          1. FPL_Crisis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Torn. If I keep waiting I’m relying on differentials like Jimmy and Sarr to perform.
            Decided to remove Barnes and Ings this week instead of the Bruno to Ron move which probably was ok but just delayed the issue by a week.
            Guess not owning either Rom or Ron is the problem and can I survive until gw7

          2. FPL_Crisis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I feel the -4 is probably the way to go and if there are other fires then pull the wildcard trigger. Can’t have both Ron Rom just too much compromise

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Team updated cheers

  22. MFC86
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best 7.2 midfielder and below for part of my Ronaldo transfer?
    Ralph or Torres or another option?

    1. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      One of those two. Raph is a long term keeper for me.

  23. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If WC gw7-8 then Antonio out for Bamford makes more sense, but then not so sure WC is needed. Coufal vs ManU not that tempting when Bamford has Newcastle. Could get Antonio for Ings the week after. What is your Antonio plan?

    1. billnats
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trying to figure that out myself. My bench is horrid and feel that I can improve my team by transferring him/Son. But the -8 will hurt

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm holding. However, if I could get to Bamford for 1 FT I would likely do so. My selling price on Antonio is only 7.7 and I have nothing ITB.

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez, Barnes and ESR in my gameweek 1 team. What the hell was I thinking?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I had Barnes too and I thought it was a great option. Eh.

    2. Gingerman
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      All good with hindsight

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes Harrison Deeney no Antonio here!

  25. grooveymatt65
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    is it too weird to bring in Wilson for Antonio for free if Wilson is cleared to return?

    1. Gingerman
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Wilson will be injured again in 2 minutes

  26. JAYPEE
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio to DCL or Tsimikas/Amartey to Marcal?

  27. sirmorbach
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Meslier (4.0)
    TAA / Shaw / Coufal (Livramento, Omobamidele)
    Salah / Jota / Torres / Raphinha / Benrahma
    Bamford / Ronaldo (Obafemi)

    So, Benrahma to
    A. Gray
    B. Gallagher
    C. Saka
    D. Coufal to Coady/Marçal instead
    E. Hold

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wold do A but first see how Gray does this GW

      1. sirmorbach
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, mate!

  28. Tinydancer
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I hate to use xfers before all the games done but this makes sense right?

    Scarlett > Ronaldo
    Fernandes > Raphinha

    1. I Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      For free? Yes definitely but can you afford to wait?

      1. Tinydancer
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It would be for a -4, I set up my 2 xfers last week with this move in mind if Ronaldo started well

        I have 0.1 to play with so should be OK for 2night. That 0.1 could be handy tho

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would have recommended it last week - preferring Lukaku over Ronaldo after GW6

  29. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw White (Livramento *Amartey)
    Salah Bruno Greenwood *Benrahma (Brownhill)
    DCL Antonio *Toney
    ***=Problem players

    1.4m ITB, 2 FT. Not afraid of taking a hit.

    A) Toney + Bruno --> Ronaldo + Torres
    ---Even if I make these transfers today, leaves me 0.1 short of Benrahma-->Raphina in future, would need to get Shaw out later to fund. Torres rotation concern tho.

    B) Toney + Bruno --> Ronaldo + Raphina
    ---Would just get Raphina now and stay away from City rotation, tho Torres may be great value obviously.

    C) Toney + Bruno + Benrahma --> Ronaldo + Jota + Gray/Gallagher (-4 HIT)
    ---Getting Jota is my preference, but obviously a bit sketchy to do it today before he plays tomorrow, and not thrilled about Gray/Gallagher. Allows me to keep Shaw for now.

    D) Toney + Bruno + Shaw --> Ronaldo + Jota + Christensen/Semedo/Marcal (-4 HIT)
    ---Again gets Jota. Christensen I guess not nailed, and with him, can't afford Benrahma-->Rafinha in future (0.1 short). If get Semedo, can afford that move in future. With Marcal, leaves me 0.4 itb to play with. Think I'm leaning towards this with one of the Wolves.

    E) Wildcard or any other suggestions lol.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any concern on Jota if he starts vs Milan midweek as well?

  30. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Set for next week,

    Sanchez
    Trent, Shaw, Dier, Williams,
    Salah, Benny, Greenwood, Torres
    Lukaku, Bamford

    Steele, Gilmour, Amartey, Antonio,
