FPL Gameweek 7 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned

It was a low-scoring day for many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, with blanks for many of the most-owned players and the widely backed captaincy picks.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) contrived to hit the post from three yards en route to a fourth blank in five appearances, while Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) owners had to swallow a ‘one-pointer’ after the Manchester United forward was surprisingly named among the substitutes at Old Trafford and reduced to a 35-minute cameo.

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 from the day’s Gameweek 7 fixtures.

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

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

INJURIES AND BANS

Anthony Martial (£8.4m) picked up a knock in Manchester United’s draw with Everton, a match that Luke Shaw (£5.4m) was passed fit for after illness and injury.

Ben Mee (£4.9m) was a surprise no-show when the Burnley teamsheet was released, with the first-choice stopper picking up an ankle injury in training that his manager doesn’t think is serious.

The Clarets lost a further player during the clash with Norwich, with Matej Vydra (£5.3m) suffering a knock.

Watford’s defeat at Leeds was further compounded by the loss of two players to injury, with Josh King (£5.5m) and Francisco Sierralta (£4.3m) both limping off. Xisco Munoz doesn’t yet know the severity of either issue.

King’s departure saw Emmanuel Dennis (£5.3m) move into a centre-forward role, following his recent stint on the left flank.

Leeds lost a key player of their own, with Stuart Dallas (£5.3m) hobbling off – Marcelo Bielsa said after full-time that it was too early for a prognosis on the Northern Ireland international.

Joe Willock (£5.9m) lasted little more than half an hour of Newcastle’s defeat to Wolves before succumbing to a hip injury.

Bukayo Saka (£6.3m) limped out of Arsenal’s match against Brighton and Hove Albion late on but Mikel Arteta said he “should be fine.”

On the ban front, James Ward-Prowse (£6.4m) was sent off for serious foul play against Chelsea and will miss Southampton’s next three matches. One of those games is in the EFL Cup, however, so he’ll be back in Gameweek 10.

THE THINGS WE LEARNED

FPL Gameweek 7 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned 8
NOT TOO BIG TO BENCH

Reaffirming Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m) as the club’s penalty taker one week, benching Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) the next… a cynic might suggest that the last fortnight has been some sort of power play from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and/or an audition to be the new voice of Sage.

The Norwegian however cited the need for freshness ahead of kick-off when asked about his decision to leave Ronaldo and Paul Pogba (£7.8m) out of his starting XI:

“Wednesday night was a big effort, big emotional and physical output, so we needed to freshen it up when it’s an early kick-off.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Whatever the motivation for Ronaldo’s demotion to impact substitute in Gameweek 7 (he is 36, lest we forget), it was a notice to FPL managers that even the Portuguese club legend isn’t going to be immune from the odd rest over the coming weeks and months.

WE HAVE A PLAYING £4.0m GOALKEEPER

Ben Foster (£4.0m) had started the last two Premier League matches for Watford but it wasn’t abundantly clear whether he was the undisputed number one at Vicarage Road, given that Daniel Bachmann (£4.5m) had been plagued by a knee injury over the last fortnight.

Passed fit by the Hornets on Thursday, Bachmann returned to the matchday squad against Leeds – but was only among the substitutes, with Foster keeping his place.

The veteran was repeatedly called into action against Leeds and one of the few to emerge from the defeat with any credit.

Watford haven’t kept a clean sheet all season so he’s probably not an option for anything other than emergency bench duty, especially with the fixtures turning iffy over the next eight Gameweeks.

IS HWANG/RAUL THE NEW JOTA/JIMENEZ?

Bruno Lage praised the link-up play between Hwang Hee-chan (£5.5m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) ahead of Saturday’s win over Newcastle and the pair duly combined for both of Wolves’ goals on Saturday.

It certainly wasn’t a vintage attacking display by Bruno Lage’s side, who had fewer shots than all top-flight teams bar Watford on Saturday.

And a conversion rate of 60% (three goals from five shots) isn’t obviously sustainable for Hwang in the long term.

But Wolves having a more clinical striker up top is a welcome change from the profligacy we’ve seen so far in 2021/22 and a potential boon to Jimenez, who has created more chances than any other FPL forward this season.

The Mexican is the only player among the top 10k’s 20 most-owned FPL assets who has delivered a double-digit haul in Gameweek 7 so far:

STRONG BENCHES ARE NEEDED

Not so much a lesson learned as a weekly reminder, in this instance – and not for the first time – from Thomas Tuchel.

Managers whose teams are playing in Europe and are still in the EFL Cup face two games a week from now until the end of the calendar year and the irksome rotation is well underway.

On top of Ronaldo and Pogba at United, we saw Marcos Alonso (£6.0m) and Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) dropped to the bench for Chelsea’s win over Southampton.

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 7

We’re historically used to seeing Andros Townsend (£5.5m) score screamers from distance but the winger earlier in the week discussed the work he was doing under Rafael Benitez to get closer to the goal.

And, wouldn’t you know it, the ex-England wide-man is joint-top for shots in the box in Gameweek 7 so far and at the top of the pile for expected goal involvement (xGI).

Townsend is now joint-second among midfielders for FPL points alongside the man who teed him up for his fifth attacking return of the season at Old Trafford, Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m).

He’s also top of the FPL form table, which calculates a player’s average score from all matches played by his club in the last 30 days.

Marc Cucurella (£5.0m) turned in a man-of-the-match showing in the evening kick-off at the Amex and, as is not always the case, the maximum bonus was dished out to the best player on the park.

No player has created more chances than the Brighton wing-back in Gameweek 7 so far and, since his debut in Gameweek 4, only two FPL defenders have registered more final-third touches.

    Fell asleep during making transfers, so Ramsdale still 4.5 on my screen. If I complete the move will I still get him at 4.5 or 4.6?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      4.6, it verifies prices with the server when called

      1. Lubic87

        • 13 Years

        Ah ok, thanks. Relieved nobody else I was looking at changed price! Can deal with 0.1

    2. STEP rOVERS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lol

    3. Philosopher's Stones

      How can one fall asleep in the middle of a transfer?!

      1. Jackie Moon
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sound like something Ole does at United!

    4. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lol... that happened to me recently. Woke up & thought I made the transfer only to see a price rise

  2. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Probably won't miss any games but if Saka does get ruled out for 2-3 games, I would love a Pepe punt.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Arsenal look dire.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you wanna bring in an Arsenal attacker right now, look at ESR. Cheap, so easily bench-able if needed.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I would second this. Its not worth putting too much money into an Arsenal attacker. Their defenders are cheap enough.

    3. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just got Saka this gw so hope he isn't ruled out for long 🙁

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

    It doesn't seem like the double rise in value from Sarr is going to come to fruition :/

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It seems unlikely.

      GW4-7 was the optimum time to own Sarr. Fixtures get a lot harder now and Watford aren't the most attacking unit

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, I bought Sarr before the Wolves fixture (gw4) at 6.0

    2. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think his time is up in my squad. Tempted by Sarr & Dennis to Mbuemo & Hwang

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Mbeumo has Chelsea next week so I wouldn't be buying him immediately.

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Everton, Southampton & Arsenal is also not the worst run for Sarr. I would offload before gw12 though most likely.

          1. tokara
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            First time watching Watford yesterday, gosh awful is an under rated word on them

    Turns out Fantasy Football Hub was the site which got hacked and from where the data leak happened.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do they store FPL password? For what?

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Some people had same email and password on both sites

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I never used the RMT functionality here, but from what I understand it was to use functionality similar to that.

      2. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Apparently there was a section in their site where you could put in your FPL email and password to import your team. I never used that site, so I wouldn't know why. It's what a few people on twitter were saying.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ah okay. Desperate times...

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            This

  5. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    34 with Salah, Antonio and Benarahma to play, Duffy n Livra saving my injury filled team yet again.

    Am not sure I can ever sell either of them 🙂

  6. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Too early to call them son kane due. This is the problem with many of us, overthinking and Over tinkering. Wolves didnt play that good, i watched the match. Not too many shots or chances were created. Jimenez played really deep and did a lot of defensive duties, even performed some sliding tackle too recover. He is more of an assist guy nowadays.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Easy switch to DCL/Bamford depending on the form

  7. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who wins:

    A. Schmeichel - Pereira (or Hause if no show), Vardy & 1pt

    B. Salah & Gallagher

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Probably A

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Fancy a second guess? Might earn yourself an upvote 😉

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B is 4 pts 🙂

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        What, total?

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yaa think so

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            🙁

  8. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Average number of players left for the GW?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      4

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Only got Salah, Antonio & Gallagher here

        Two of above, probably want to blank because of cappos….gulp 😛

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, Salah and Antonio are pretty much useless this week 😀

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            If Gallagher can get an attacking return and thereby knock of Schmeichel & Pereira CS, might be in the mix for my H2H?

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              True that. I hope Gallagher doesn't get anything though since he is in Scout Picks 😀

              And if he does get, then hopefully Salah seals your victory...

              1. Jafooli
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                😀 cheers Sherlock

                Are you the Scout Picks Community challenger this week?

                1. Holmes
                  • 10 Years
                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  Yep

                  Messed up little bit by making a last minute change of Toney and Mount over Jimenez and Mbeumo

                  1. Jafooli
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Good luck, hope you win 😀

  9. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    GW rank of 628k with 27pts, geez what a stinky GW, average is only 15pts 😮

    1. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Choosing Azpi over Alonso certainly helped me above average this week so far!

  10. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    After using my FT I'll have this team for GW8? Is it alright or would you WC?

    Sanchez(Gunn)
    Dias Rudiger White Livra (Shaw)
    Salah Raph Benrahma Greenwood(Brownhill)
    Antonio Ronaldo (Bamford)

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      G2G n Bamford could play

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm not sure about Greenwood and Ronaldo but there aren't enough changes for a WC.

    Site Mods-
    Given the issues with FFH, could you please provide some reiteration/assurance to users of this site with regards to:
    - how passwords are stored
    - how financial information is stored
    - how our information is used with 3rd parties

    These were previous concerns I have had given how funding-driven the site has become without dealing with any side issues (eg a simple reminder email to users they are about to auto-renew), but the current issues surely must bring this to a focus for reassurance

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty sure all info is sold to 3rd party

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I'm reading that - it doesn't state anything about how passwords are stored etc (such as the issue with FFH)

            2 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks Ryan. But you don't think the community in general needs reassurance? It all boils down to i guess - can you reassure us that what has happened at FFH won't happen here?

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Have you fully ready the privacy policy? this is the means in order to provide reassurance to the community. If you believe it is inadequate then I definitely think you should air your concerns to the privacy manager via the above email address. I personally do not know all the technical information you are seeking.

              1. Harry the Hack
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Yes I have. I would assume any site would want to put out a quick summary of one or two dot points saying we do not store plain text when a competitor in the industry has been caught pants down, rather than directing users off to individually sift through a whole policy.

                1. Harry the Hack
                  • 14 Years
                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  *passwords in plain text

                  • 12 Years
                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  My guess is it's more complex than that hence the full breakdown in a policy format. It's also worth noting that the privacy policy is much shorter and more succinct than many other privacy policies out there, so it shouldn't be too much of a chore for those particularly concerned.

                  1. Harry the Hack
                    • 14 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Agree - I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the privacy page! No doubt the issue is more complex, but it is silent on the issue of encryption. Given the clear targeting by these people, as one of the headline sites in the industry, it's only a matter of time before the issue comes to a head. For your own reputation as much as our reassurance, it makes sense to be proactive and get the message out there.
                    Appreciate you took the time to respond Ryan, thanks

                    1. Ryan

                      No problem, and I do want to encourage you to get in touch with the privacy manager because I agree that its better to be ahead of the game on this especially with whats been going on on other sites.

      Morning Harry

      I'm not sure what exactly is going on at Hub and can't speak for that business or their security, but I can stress that FFS takes data protection very seriously. I've have attempted to answer your points below:

      i) Financial information is NOT stored within any FFS database on our servers, (this is kept secure and encrypted within the payment platforms).

      ii) The FFS-specific passwords and mail data we do store are securely protected. Notably, unlike others, we DO NOT ask for FPL passwords for any of our services and would strongly advise you avoid services that request you share FPL log-ins.

      iii) None of the user information we have is shared with third parties in any way. The involvement of third parties (such as UEFA, Sky, Bundesliga, FanTeam, FPL etc) is limited to editorial articles or other messaging on our channels.

      In keeping with general security advice, we would advise everyone to use distinct passwords for different services and also to update passwords immediately if you are concerned about the possibility of them being shared or exposed.

      If you have other questions we are always happy to try and answer via the standard support email accounts.

          If you don't feel safe entering FPL id in a box, I don't blame you, but I made an option where each manager has a page on LiveFPL already. like http://www.livefpl.net/13970 has my info, anyone can access this page and you don't need to enter anything, not even the id. Again understand if you don't feel safe that way either.

    Would you do Ronaldo to Lukaku for a hit this week OR can it wait one more week as I would be giving the armband to Salah?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would wait a week. I can't imagine Ronaldo not starting the next game after this result. There really is no urgency in getting Lukaku considering his measly returns in the past 4 GW's.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I really can't see Ronaldo being rested any more than once in their next seven should Ole want to hold onto his job.

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Bet you couldn't see him being rested yesterday either..

          1. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            No, but does Ole now see that as a mistake having not won?
            I don't see them in the top 4, fast forward the next 2 months or so.

        2. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I agree but we just don't know. CL is important too.

          1. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yes, but a lot of those prem fixtures are realistically the "tougher" fixtures.

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for the input.

        My thinking is that the way we are playing I don't see us scoring more than one vs Leicester and -4 might cover any return Lukaku may get vs Brentford.

    6 points after a 4 pt hit. Can't think of a worse week in all the time I've been playing this stupid game. Praying for an Antonio(C) hatrick.

  20. Jafooli

    Benched White (7pts) & Livramento (4pts) 😎

    Also benched White 6pts last week.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Perks of having a premium defense 😉

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        😛

        I am currently on super-uber cheap, which I think you know, hence the 😉

        Ramshackle - Sanchez
        White - Duffy - Lowton - Livramento - Marcel

        All got decent points this week, even Marcel got a bap 😆

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Should have played a BB 😀

    2. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've played Livramento's 1 & 2 and benched his 6, 5 & 4.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        surface it looks bad but relatively speaking my selections have been quite close, still a loss from the optimal.

  21. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Today everyone will be rushing to get Kane now

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      At that price, he is in a no go zone along with Kevin. Need to drop by 1m or so...

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Watkins more likely

  22. Ryan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Its not all bad owning Alonso when you can get Duffy's 6pts off the bench 🙂

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Going forward is the issue if he doesn't play.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This is true. I think I'm happy to give it another week as I have confidence in my bench defenders over that period. As I lack TAA it could be a potential swap from GW9.

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Alonso I do believe is going away on international duty.

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yes and I'm not expecting him to start the next game as a result. However for the time being I am confident in my bench.

            1. Gabbiadini
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Yes, Duffy is a good start for another week, he's on my field.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It’s better when you have Azpilicueta + Duffy

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        😎

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely 😉

  23. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which is better?

    A- Traore’ > City midfielder up to 8.2?
    Play 4-4-2 next gameweek

    B- Williams > Dias/Cancelo and pla6 5-3-2 next gameweek

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I like a trade of Williams to Cancelo.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't like owning Traore, but like Williams less so probably B

  24. Salah(c)
    • 3 Years

    RMWCT

    Ramsdale foster

    TAA azpi rudiger duffy livra

    Salah ben saka jota 4.5

    Bamford antonio lukaku

    Who would you change?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would swap a chelsea defender for a City defender if possible. I also think Jota is a serious rotation risk with Firmino back.

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford is injured. Think Raph is a better option for Leeds attacking coverage.

      Think replacing one of your Chelsea defenders with a City defender would be a good move.

      Also not fully convinced Jota is a good fpl option right now

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford to Hwang
      Rudiger to Cancelo
      Foster to Sanchez (rotate with Ramsdale and protection if he gets dropped)
      Duffy to Wolves
      Jota to Rapha

  25. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Early thoughts on which defender to bench?

    A) White (CRY)
    B) Dier (new)
    C) Digne (WHU)

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Digne is awful to own

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking of getting Walker in for him. But is he nailed?

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C, would sell sell sell if you could

    5. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      b

  26. Hotdogs for Tea

    on WC, what’s the best strategy, just copy Andy LTFPL ? 🙂

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hahaha. I don't care much for fpl twitter, but the meltdown when he wild carded yesterday was all time. You'd have thought he had committed a heinous act or something

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Twitter is a funny beast. I wonder if it was intended to become a vehicle for people to vent their outrage over trivial matters as a form of entertainment?

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          hahaha, surely the creators knew what they were doing in unleashing that monster. It's incredible how there is such a disconnect between Twitter and even reddit from the real world the majority of the time

    Ramsdale / Gunn
    TAA / Cancelo / Alonso / Tierney / Livramento
    Salah / Benrahma / Saka / Traore / Sissoko
    Lukaku / Antonio / Toney

    Feel like Traore is the burning issue here, might sit on Alonso another week. How's the team looking folks?

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Traore to Raph seems like the obvious move to be made.

      Would wait a little to see how the international break fares for Raph though

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good, did you WC last week? Saying that as that is the type of team people wildcard for. Traore has got to go your right. Don't think Alonso needs to be dealt with this week, even though he scored (good finish but also lucky) who knows if Tuchel was impressed with Chilwell

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Traore is the only burning issue. See how the rest of the GW goes in order to determine a suitable replacement.

    Early thoughts here as things stand?
    1. WC. A few too many players needed to ship and bring in now.
    2. Just Greenwood-> Raphinha.
    3. Coufal + Greenwood-> Cancelo + Raph (-4).
    Gets me relatively close to where I want to be but still 3/4 moves behind a WC.

    Sanchez.
    Alonso, Rudiger, Coufal, TAA.
    Salah, Benrahma, Greenwood, Gray, Bissouma.
    Jimenez, Anto, Lukaku.
    Bachmann, Gray, Bissouma, Tsimikas.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      My VC is Antonio, that could get ugly.

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years

      Blankaku outscored Ronaldo but glad he did nothing yesterday apart from congratulating his teammates

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Probably the best ‘nearly scored’ of the season

    everything changed when bruno took that penalty for me last week,ronaldo at 12.7 for a non taking penalty forward is just not value ,i had previously decided that pep roulette and tommy tombola would be most frustrating so would avoid,however lukakus fixtures made it an easy switch ,so having 1 chelsea made me put in another ,so welcome azpilicueta,also the constant drip drip of cr7 being benched starting friday lunchtime was not easy to ignore ,it can pay off to remain flexible...

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nice one. My Shaw to Alonso move wasn't as successful but I did also pick up jimenez for Bamford

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        ive had jimi since the start ,hes looking good value now ,(he was 8.5 last year) nailed ,good fixtures,penalties and sloth nuno gone ,bit of a no brainer pick tbh...

      I kept him in my WC due to his selfishness & his tendency to shoot, plus everton... But that benching make me want to kick him out of my team ASAP
