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.

    1FT, 1.9 itb

    I’m a bit screwed, was going to do Benrahma to Jota but can’t do that without moving Tsimikas out for -4.

    Another option is Toney / Antonio to DCL / Jimenez / Bamford.

    Thoughts welcome?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years

      Toney to Bamford looks good.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Normally I’d be all over that but then I’d have triple LEE ?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          They have a really good set of fixtures for a long time what’s the issue

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Fair point… Bamford over DCL?

  2. GREEN JUMPERS
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play one for the suspended Antonio:

    A) Williams (WAT)
    B) Sissoko (nor)

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm thinking A

  3. Slurpy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Freddie Woodman definitely had ronaldo captain my word

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Haha yep

      The standard of goalkeepers is quite atrocious

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        We take those

  4. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On wildcard:

    A) Sa and Sarr
    B) Bachmann and Traore (+0.5itb)

    Sa
    TAA Semedo James
    Salah Jota Raphinha Sarr
    Ronaldo Bamford Jimenez

    Steele; White Livramento Mendy

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A, god knows why you want Wolves attack let alone two two them

  5. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    We need to give Broja a start

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is he any good?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Looked decent in the 15 mins he got today

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah he seemed very lively. Could be a really interesting FPL option if Ralph starts him. A threatening 5.0 striker is very enticing.

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      yes he looked great

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stuart Armstrong nailed right? Looking at him for draft league

    5. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's well thought of at Chelsea, loan at Vitesse last season.
      He scored nine Eredivisie goals which was the most of any teenager in European football’s major leagues that season.

      He's Chelsea academy trained. Give him game time, he will score goals.

  6. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Nothing to do here this week?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Saïss Reguilón Duffy B.Williams
    Salah Greenwood Torres Benrahma Alan
    Lukaku Bamford Antonio

    1FT £1.1M

    Who in your opinion is the best Wolves defender? (Currently own Saïss but fancy Semedo/Marçal)

  7. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Arteta saying after a 1-0 win against Norwich that this has been the best week of his career says a lot about where Arsenal are right now

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just remember Canaries died for the Coal Miners.
      I think a little more tact would be welcome on this forum.

    What is everyone doing with Antonio? Also what to do with Toney? He looks like he is gonna fall again in price..

    1. Fantasy Football Friend!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Out for DCL. Wildcarding in 2 weeks, so no point holding.

      Hold if not wildcarding soon.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Would you not hold him on wc?

        He is their only striker. If WHU score, chances are pretty high that he will be involved.

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Benching Antonio - it's only one week and would be costly to buy back

    3. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No other appealing transfers? For me, I can upgrade my 5th mid to Raphinha so holding him seems sensible

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably selling for Bamford, get him back in for Ings the week after or on WC7/8

  9. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months 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. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A or B depending on how boring you want to be

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You prefer Torres to Jota?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Torres looks great
          Hopefully he starts v Southampton

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Also why is Christensen in D?!

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What do you mean?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Silva is back and far better than him plus he has spurs then city

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thanks to those who leant me towards:

    - Raphinha / White / Traore (instead of)
    - Torres / Williams / Trincao

    Glad I don't need to worry about using a transfer on Raphinha, especially with Antonio suspended (White can come in).

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph blank tomorrow and Torres hattrick v Southampton

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No chance - I own Torres lol

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Damn, so do I, huge differential for me in my leagues so wont do anything. Didn't look bad today though.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah was a differential for me too!
            This is what is grinding my gears about this game, literally any player I go different fails completely whereas their direct alternatives haul like crazy

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah it killed me last season and this season has started the same, just can't catch those Lingardz/Willock/Benrahma type players before everyone has them

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I remember, couldn’t catch a break could you.
                I’m finding it even with the premium options (Bruno over Salah), (Kane over Ronaldo/Lukaku) all significantly backfiring recently.

                Yeah maybe Kane is slight blind faith from my perspective, but he’s only played 2 gameweeks in effect after coming off from one of his best seasons yet last year - so if anything I’m being patient, but being truly punished for it.

                1. WVA
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah unfortunately i started with Raph over Greenwood this season so I'm already playing catch up, Torres was supposed to be that guy, went for him on my WC over Raph so i know what happens tomorrow.

                  Hmmm Bruno currently has more points than Salah so that hasn't been too bad. Kane should score similar points as Ronaldo/Lukaku over the season, its Kane.

  11. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Play Williams and bench Antonio but have no cover for Torres other than Livramento away at City lol
    B. Antonio to Bamford for free

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Reply to everyone, get no replies, standard ffs

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            What kind of Southampton are you ffs?
            You must be Chilworth where all the Saints players live.!

              I'm from Devon, they were my local prem club growing up though and my dad got me a season ticket, love St Mary's

    2. Big boy Bowen

      B for me given their upcoming fixtures

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ta mate, tend to agree as i only have Liv on the bench otherwise

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A’s fine, could easy get a clean sheet. Antonio only suspended for a game, and he chose the right one - nice fixtures again after that

  12. Larseen
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez

    TAA Shaw Coufal

    Traore Salah Raphina Greenwood

    DCL Ronaldo Antonio

    (Steele, Livramento, Tsimikas, Gilmour)

    A)Antonio to Jimenez (got antonio for 7,5)

    Or

    B) Tsimikas to Brandon Williams (and play him against Watford)

    Or any other suggestions?

  13. Runnerboy31
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Highest ever rank of 1,202. Hope everyone has the experience of a top rank at some point, it’s fun even if mostly down to blind luck (such as Marcal!)

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Excellent. I have experienced them in the past. Sadly not today.

    2. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Well done! I stupidly went for Coady over Marcal….

      1. Runnerboy31
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not stupid at all, long term might still be the better pick. I don’t have Jota, DCL, Rapinha or Digne so my overall rank will drop a lot so enjoying it for an evening

      2. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Did the same but was a very lucky haul and Coady more nailed. Before his second assist Coady was on 2 baps to Marcal’s 0x

    3. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice one! Did 191 a few years back, only way was down after that haha

  14. Sun Jihai

    People selling Antonio planning to get him back for LEE/BRE?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No Leeds/Everton also have good fixtures. West Ham have a lot of games coming up now, time to cash in

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think if selling will not bring him back until WC GW7

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Makes sense.

  15. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno/Antonio --> Raphinha/Ronaldo for -4?

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      100%

    2. MFC86
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just done this move myself, first hit of the season but felt right and felt I needed to get ronaldo at this price before he keeps increasing

  16. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    ESR > Raphinha and bench Antonio a no brainer?

    1. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, looks good

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ta

  17. Carlton P
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Will Benrahma play up front next week?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He was playing very high up today, could have easily returned

  18. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio's price is going to drop more then once isn't it?

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No chance surely. People have better things to do than transfer out and straight back in again!?

        Why get him back?

        Leeds have better fixtures.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Cuz he will still offer great value

        2. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Cos he and his team are in better form than Bamford/Leeds

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who owns him

    4. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly, but players who are red flagged rarely drop more than once in one week, because it requires so many more transfers.

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe 0.2m I'd imagine
      But they you still lose 0.1m if you sell now and buy him back?

  19. chaser123

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Coufal Coady

      Perica out imo.

  20. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Everyone happy with their score? 45 here with Salah, Jota, TAA and Raph left. Htting 70 would be nice 🙂

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Happy enough. 37pts -4 with 4 to play (Salah(c), Jota, TAA, Digne.) Everybody got me points apart from my 2 West Ham lads, and had no Ronaldo or Bruno so could have been worse.

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      35 (-4) with Salah (c), TAA, DCL to go. If Salah and DCL get decent returns lll still get a green arrow so Im quite optimistic

    3. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      (45-8) 37 points with TAA, Salah, Jota, Raphina, DCL to play. Depends if that 5 return. I think DCL & Raphina are lesser owned, relatively speaking. I'm crossing my fingers the minus 8 pays off.

  21. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start Tierney (bur) or Rudi (tot)?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would try to start both

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        cannot bench coady

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tough, T i think

  22. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Everyone selling Bruno for Ronaldo?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I did yesterday

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Already done

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I really don’t think I will, trying to be strong

  23. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Jota/Lukaku -4
    B) Raphinha/Ronaldo

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B and swap to Lukaku GW7-ish

    3. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    Does anybody else do the MOTD challenge? Have to say I do enjoy it.

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I do it once every couple months, today's was fun (Lukaku cap)

    2. TokyoRed 東京赤
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Every week! Have to drive or train through London trying to avoid seeing if groups of fans are happy or sad. Love it.

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Used to back in the day! Assuming you mean you watch MOTD without knowing any scores?

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes that's it. I've done it twice this season and I think I'll do it once every few weeks. I find it helps me avoid endlessly checking my phone and it frees up my Saturday for other things!

    4. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Great fun

  25. MaRooney 5

    What would you do with this mess:

    Sánchez, x
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling, Veltman, Amartey,
    Salah, Bruno, Jota, Benrahma, Bissouma
    DCL, Antonio, x?

    1 FT, 2.4m ITB
    Thanks in advance!

  26. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I didnt expect to score 2 goals, I expected only 1

  27. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Nope, I'm sticking with my plan of no Lukaku before GW 7 and probably no Ronaldo before GW 14, but might reconsider it in a few weeks.

    Sold Toney for Dennis who has a game against the worst team in the league and is also on corners. I will also take a hit to get Raphinha for Benrahma. Both Dennis and Raphinha have better fixtures that Lukaku and Ronaldo in the next 2.

    Also keeping Antonio. I'm not sure I understand sellers. He is their only striker, so if WHU score chances are pretty high that he is involved, right?

  28. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is the general consensus to hold Antonio?

    1. TokyoRed 東京赤
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah only one week and against United

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Well, my theory is right up your post

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What do you mean?

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          above*

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      WH created how much away to Southampton?

      There are away fixtures to Leeds and Everton coming up. If Leeds look half good tomorrow I'll happily get rid. There are other options out there.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe just a blip?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          They cant maintain that start especially with Europa starting

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Team dependent decision really, some won't have any available subs. Others won't like the fixtures of their sub eg Livramento

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah my sub is either Veltman (lei) or Brownhill (ARS) who would you pick out of them?

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Tough one but probably veltman

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This

  29. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    One to pop on your watchlist for when Palace fixtures turn is Andersen,

    Just watched the highlights. He is going to get an assist more or less for sure. His long ball delivery is amazingly good. He (and Guehi) also tend to stay up the pitch when they bring the ball out from the back and that is up the pitch into the opposing box from open play - it's not just set plays.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Agree, they both are great. I liked Andersen very much last season and I spotted Guehi last season as well, he was a beast against City. Very powerful man.

      But I think it would be very hard to fit in some Palace defender as I would go with Sa TAA double Chelsea defence Ayling and Livra.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks mate, 4.5 is a good price but they dont really have a strong run of fixtures although i am VERY tempted on Gallagher, what do you make of him?

  30. Larseen
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Someone else that miss how fpl used to be? When people took decisons from looking at the games and not by all the stats, tools, tips from experts, youtube.

    Probably just me beeing grumpy because i used to be good in this game

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's what I'm thinking for 2 or 3 seasons already. I miss this period.

      Now everything is served to noobs who finish above us who actually watch the games and know something about football. We tend to overthink the things, while they underthink them and somehow everything goes well for them.

      1. Larseen
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, glad Im not alone thinking this..

        Before it was more about skills, now computers do it for you. And everyone ending up with the same teams

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Totally! People have become cowards who don't have balls to captain anyone else but Salah, Bruno and Ronaldo.

          1. Larseen
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I am one of them
