FPL Hall of Fame: Tips and strategy from seven-time top 10k finisher Yavuz Kabuk

We hear from the consistently brilliant Yavuz Kabuk as we continue to champion those in our Hall of Fame roll of honour.

Here at Fantasy Football Scout, we are acknowledging the best of the best when it comes to Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

And so, every year, we will salute the top five managers in our prestigious Career Hall of Fame.

The managers who can break into the top five will be immortalised on our Hall of Fame page.

You can check your own position in the Hall of Fame by becoming a Fantasy Football Scout Member and joining either of our two FPL mini-leagues.

Our Live Hall of Fame, which is updated throughout the season, had its first refresh for 2021/22 over the September international break and you’ll be able to see all the correct new IDs attached to the managers in question.

Having previously heard from Hall of Fame number one Fábio Borges, nine-time top 10k finisher Finn Sollie and the consistently excellent Morten Tveito, up next is Dutch maestro Yavuz.

He has seven consecutive top 10k finishes, finishing 123rd in the world for the 2020/21 season.

Hall of Fame Career #1-#5 15
HOW DO YOU GENERALLY APPROACH FPL? WHAT IS YOUR MAIN STRATEGY/STYLE?

I usually divide the season into three parts and approach each one in different ways.

The first part of the season is the most chaotic one. I always start with proven names, except for one or two, but play more aggressively afterwards. In this period, I tend to make early transfers, take hits and jump onto bandwagons (even if I don’t believe in the player) to build some team value for the rest of the season.

I try to watch more games in this period and take some risks to find the next bandwagon earlier than anyone. I rely on the eye test a little bit more than stats here, due to there not being enough fresh data (at least in the first couple of Gameweeks). Although there is no clear line, part one usually ends with the second international break. In general, I am not successful in the first part of the season and rarely find myself in the top 100k.

I don’t have a clear strategy for the first Wildcard. If my team is far from ideal, I pull the trigger for it straight away (last season it was Gameweek 4). If I am a couple of hits away from it, I would just do those instead. At this time, I do not care about overall rank but rather the shape of the team.

The second part is the most important one for me and usually when I climb the rankings. It starts around the second international break and ends with the second Wildcard, or a bit earlier depending on Blank and Double Gameweeks. The template settles around now and I switch my style to ‘swords and shields’ (I like this analogy a lot). This requires extensive forward planning, especially in a season like the last one. I try not to take hits in this period and play it safe with very few differentials. In this period, my decisions are almost exclusively based on stats and I do care about effective ownership a lot.

My strategy for part three depends on where I am ranked. If I am still outside of the top 10k, I continue to play ‘swords and shields’. If I am inside the top 10k, I try to get into the top 5k and then top 1k by playing a bit more aggressively. I would be willing to take calculated risks either by having differential players or captains, or by using chips differently than the rest of the pack.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST FPL MOMENT?

It has to be the 52-pointer by captain Theo Walcott in the 2012/13 season; almost everyone else went for Robin van Persie’s late cameo and assist and that Gameweek threw me into the top 1k for the first time and made me believe I can finish there. An honourable mention would go to Gareth Bale’s 21-pointer last year. I was almost sure he would explode so I used my Wildcard that week to accommodate him in my team.

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR SECURING A GOOD FINISH?

Each season has its own dynamics. My top tip would be to observe the first part of the season very carefully and not stick with any predefined strategy. Adapting your approach is the most important thing for me in FPL.

WHAT STATS DO YOU PAY MOST ATTENTION TO? WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TOOL IN THE PREMIUM MEMBERS AREA?

My favourite is the Comparison Tool; I use both versions for players and teams. I also check Match Data and the Season Ticker quite frequently.

For the majority of the time as a Scout member, Big Numbers has been my favourite article. I pay the most attention to expected stats (per start), both for attackers and defenders, but I also care about more traditional stats like shots, key passes, etc. I try not to use data older than four to six Gameweeks.

      That means they will be released early and will be ok for club games

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

        No harm for himself and Lukaku to get some rest before GW8.

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

      The way things are going, this might turn out to be my most anxious WC ever.

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

      I would say if he is at risk of making the injury worse, we (Chelsea) really do need to protect him rather than force him to play.

      Super important player in a position we have no -proper-backup for (LCB).

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Chilwell maybe as an emergency? Alonso back to LWB?

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

    Sanchez
    Trent christensen rudiger
    Salah sarr benrahma raphinha
    Antonio Ronaldo jimenez

    Foster allan b Williams omobamidele

    Bench is very weak. That's why i had to play with 9 players last week.

    What to do? 2.2 itb

    1. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe one of Christensen or Rudiger to a city defender?

  2. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku a doubt.
    TAA still a doubt.
    Raph might not play gw8.
    Rudiger might be injured.
    Sarr have a new gaffer and a good chance against understrength Liverpool.
    Greenwood well rested.
    Torres trolling WCers yet again.

    Might not be the best GW to WC after all

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

      Or the perfect week

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on what’s said in the pressers. Could be the perfect week or an awful week

    3. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think if those injury doubts are confirmed out at pressers
      it wud be the perfect week to WC..

  3. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which combo?
    A) Foden and Cancelo
    B) Son and 4.5 defender

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

      B

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely A. Cancelo himself is worth it and Foden is an added bonus.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B: Son and Livra/Duffy, also White/Henry

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

      A easy..not even close..

  4. StayoutheSpiceZone

    Views on this WC

    Raya, Foster
    White Cancelo Chilwell Livra Duffy
    Salah KDB Foden Mount Mbuemo
    Armstrong Lukaku Fodder

    I am going to captain KDB in 3 of the next 5 hence he is there. And I like the fact it’s a bit different. Be good to hear thoughts

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

      Looks grand. Chilwell and Foden aren't nailed on enough for me, especially before they qualify to CL last 16. I have Rudiger who's now doubtful. Mount's class doesn't translate to deserved FPL points. I think you could consider some from Son, Antonio, DCL, Jimenez, Hwang.

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

        No Chilwell and Foden are risks with big upsides. The way I am looking at it though is that the rest are pretty much 90 minute men so they have some cover

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

          I hear you but if they don't play you have 14m from those 2 on your bench when you could have steadier, definitely more boring, picks bringing you consistent points.

        2. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I like it. It's very attacking fixture-wise. I see most Che & City players as risky in varying degrees, but as long as they all don't occur in the same gw, you should be good for decent bench cover.

          Who's the fodder?

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      with salah and KDB, i'd downgrade lukaku to antonio, mount to son and upgrade defence a little.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You’re going to need a better bench

    4. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Overall Good...Don't like the mount pick..

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    McCarthy being overlooked as GK alternative on WC?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, between Sanchez & Ramsdale.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nit for me. Upcoming fixtures look ok for results and mightn't concede many but I don't expect many CS from Southampton.

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think people would be looking at him if they didn't have Livramento. But maybe should be looking at him anyway.

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Silva away with Brazil so safe to assume Christensen SHOULD be good for a start against Brentford ?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would think so yeah

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

      I think with the Rudiger risk too, he's almost guaranteed a start next GW. Not 100% but extremely likely.

    3. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think so too.

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

    Sanchez Foster
    White Livra Rudiger TAA Coady
    Salah Saka Jota Greenwood Benrhama
    Antonio Lukaku

    1 FT 0.8 ITB (No WC)

    A) Greenwood + Coady > Mbeumo + Cancelo -4
    B) Greenwood + Scarlett > Mbeumo + Hwang -4
    C) Greenwood + Jota > Son + Mbeumo -4
    D) Hold and use 2 FT GW9

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

      D or A at a push..
      If Rudi injured u cud consider him to cancelo..

  8. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What City asset to go for?

    A) Grealish
    B) Foden
    C) Cancelo

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. Botman and Robben

      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    3. GreennRed

      C

    4. acidicleo

      CAB

    5. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If none at all - CBA

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    For next GW, would you play Sarr or Livramento?

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

      Sarr.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve got that decision too. Going with Sarr because he scored two goals against them in the fixture last season.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for this info.

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Was 2 goals And assist of I remember, 19 points

          1. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Oof what a haul!

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Pool prob without their Brazilians and maybe TAA v a Watford team keen to impress their new coach.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yup and if anyone from Watford will score it’s Sarr. And on pennies.

  10. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years

    3 Newcastle essential now they’ve got oil money?

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

      Conte about to make Ritchie essential.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Haaland, Mbappe, Donnaruma

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Aye, triple defence.
      You do know the window doesn't open until January, yeh?

  11. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Surely that’s never a pen?

  12. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Plenty are going double Man City defence, but I just can't bring myself to pay 6.1 for Dias with only 1G, 1A last season. Is this illogical?

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

      Why not as there are many budget mid and fwd options to balance the team.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Buy him mainly for nailed-oness and cleansheet potential.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I just don’t like bringing in defenders who hardly score goals or assists. I’ve got Rudiger and this bugs me for the same reason.

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes & no. You're paying for nailedness of cs points potential with Dias. There's better value from Chilwell/James for Che's good run (if they start).

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think slightly differently, what do you want your defender to do?

      Dias locks down a spot in your team reliably for months. You may be able to match his output using cheaper players and transfers but do you want to spend transfers on this spot in your team?

      There is no right or wrong to that question.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not particularly. The alternative is likely keeping Rudiger if fit as part of double Chelsea set-and-forget (I was able to buy him for 5.6). I don't want to stick to the plan just out of stubbornness, but I also really want the 0.5 difference to spend elsewhere. I'm aware that City have better underlying stats though.

        Cheers all for the advice!

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Rudiger is hardly likely to smash in lots of goals either! I think you just have double standards here tbh

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            True, but I just feel like for 5.6 just clean sheets are probably enough. I enjoyed owning Dias last year, but he was only 5.5 then.

    6. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      4.4 PPG last year, good value for money. He's also been scoring a few for the national team, could easily notch 2/3 goals this year for City.

  13. Oliver Tockman
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Grealish -> Foden ft

    A) Yes
    B) Hold

    Worried that Grealish is due a benching

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

      B

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I really don't like the term 'due', but in City's case, all players are due a benching

      I'd prefer to have Foden, but B, I'd hold

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

      Hold for sure.

  14. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Guys what happened with Jota? No flag yet in fpl.

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

      https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-news-coverage/2021/10/10/22718833/diogo-jota-reportedly-dealing-with-muscle-injury-portugal-international-break-qatar

      Nothing confirmed.

      Could be a Lukaku, Rudiger-style international break injury for a few days rest.

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

        Thanks for sharing. So taa jota Rudiger kaku with Oly 1ft and no wc.

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          They may all be fit by deadline.

        2. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Lucky you. I have all four of those, plus Alonso and Raphinha and am already on -4 😆

  15. as33
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is Chalobah is nailed?

    1. as33
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Or Christensen?

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Neither.

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not given he has only started 3 games. I am wondering on a punt though on my WC. Three starts and two goals for 4.8 with Chelsea's run is tempting. He has been started in the games against weaker teams so that may bode well for this run. Although still a pretty small data set to draw conclusions from

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

      Christensen is definitely ahead of Chalobah in the pecking order.

      Chalobah has played RCH. He's behind both Azpi & Christensen in this position (assuming Silva plays centrally)

      Silva is already confirmed that he won't play this GW as travelling back from Brazil. So Christensen will likely play centrally.

    5. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      no, but for the coming GW it's probably either him or James starting if fit

  16. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    There should be 2ft for every fpl players after ib, it is harsh these things. No skill involved. If they are injured in premier league games it is justifiable, but during ib it is very harsh. Regardless of what is happening 2ft after every ib is a good option i guess. It will remove the 'obvious' wc chip during ib makes it more different also.

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Injuries part of being a manager. You plan for it, save a transfer for IB etc. Can’t spoon feed us too much.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        True Stanley 😉

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

        Why would I manage a player who is playing in ib? That's why I have already mentioned if the injury is happening in premier league it is ok. But how can you manage during ib? Saving a ft is different which involves different things and to include ib injuries for it is the issue.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          One could argue that is why you have 3 bench spots. You can choose to fill those out with fodder or decent back up.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Also save 2 FT for IB. More than 5 injuries is then required for you to not be able to field 11.

          2. Ginkapo FPL
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            This. 3 bench spots is more than ample

        2. Don Van Vliet
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Strongly disagree.

          1. Don Van Vliet
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            *with Showstopper

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      how is it different if they are injured in the PL or Internationals?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Usually 3x the opportunity to get injured

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

    KDB assist

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Really wanna squeeze him in

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Squeeze Luka out

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

      I'm so damn tempted to get him. So tempted.

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I've been looking at it on my WC. Getting Vardy instead of Lukaku or Ronaldo gives me the funds

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Werner over Lukaku would give you the money

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            yes, but I don't trust Werner and I do trust Vardy

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        What player(s) would you drop for him on wc - Son?

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

          Yeah it's looking like Son + TAA vs KdB + Walker

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Either that or downgrade Kaku to Werner or Jesus

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              If you want TAA in your team that is*

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

                No thanks. Not touching Lukaku unless he's ruled out.

                1. FC Hakkebøf
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  I wouldn't either, but after gw11 it is worthy of consideration imo

      3. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Same here. Between him and TAA for me. Either way Son will make way for KdB. Even if only for a few gws, might just take the leap

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

      Is that 3 assists in 2 IB games now?

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure, but he's waving his wand as he pleases

  18. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane (new) could be a great 1 week punt if Lukaku is out for (bre) but likely to be back for (NOR)

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

      If we do this yes!

  19. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Iff TAA is not ready and get out of my WC team then the money will come great..

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

      One of those where you hope for his sake he’s not injured bad but one where you know if he’s out the team will look better selling him

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else think the clubs are applying a bit of pressure to these international managers and teams?

    Roman and Thomas are on the blower again

    “Oi mate, you have nothing to play for, I think rudiger and Romelu need a rest and here’s a brown envelope with the details *wink*”

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      "A bit"?

      Try again!

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I’d believe that. A meaningless friendly for Portugal, a third place playoff for Belgium and Germany killing their group.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon being an international manager is a bit like a youth team coach.

      All the kids/players want to do is play but you spend most your time dealing with their parents.

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Roll FT?

    Ramsdale
    Alonso Cancelo Rudiger Tomiyasu
    Salah (C) Raphina Benrahma
    Lukaku Auba Antonio
    ____
    Foster Sarr Brownhill Fodder

    Plan for
    gw9: Benrahma -> Mbeumo
    gw10: Alonso -> TAA
    gw11: Antonio -> Toney
    gw12: Auba + Sarr -> Jesus + Foden/Grealish

    A lot can happen between now and gw12 but I like the 'plan'

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Plan looks solid to me.
      Think Auba is a potentially fun pick.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. Wanted a differential pick. Like Arsenals fixtures for the next four games.

  22. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku owners, what are you doing now?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping if he is back for Norwich

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Prolly already back for Brentford.

  23. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I don't get why there is no love for Jesus. Great XGi, highest scoring attacker from City. He is POO (negative out of position) but still producing points and playing well. Could be a steal at 8.6 imo

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      There was more talk last week. This week he might not be back in time to play

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Did not notice that. Haven't seen anyone mention him yet. Was in my WC draft last week but decided to leave him out due to the Liverpool fixture and a potentially late return from IB. Will get him in for gw12 at the very latest.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Too much competition for places.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Seems to be nailed on so far

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

      It's probably mainly the fact that the Brazilians seem unlikely to play next GW?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haven't seen him in any teams so far since gw1. When I preiviously talked about getting him in a few people pointed out he was POO and therefore bad value. Not that simple imo

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Would you expect Jesus owners to be fairly quiet or be posting RMTs every 5 seconds?

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            If they were smart the former, but that doesn't always seem to be the case on this site where people often showcase their teams (RMT, RMWCT, ask for help to sort out next transfer etc) and post if they believe they've found a gem (like I just did and preiviously have done about Jesus)

          2. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Then there is all the youtubers and experts who post their teams on a regular basis for the whole FPL community to see. Haven't seen Jesus in those teams either. Not to mention his ownership is below 8 percent.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Andy (not me - the famous one) just did a youtube where he specifically rejected Jesus on the basis he takes up a valuable forward spot (can't remember the rest of his reasoning). He did just cover the question.

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                I'll try to find the video. However, West Hams fixture swing and the rise of KDB (which might lead to people Selling kaku down the line) could free up some forward spots soon.

                1. Andy_Social

                    Cheers. I'll have a look

                • 12 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                There are a lot of rose tinted glasses towards Toney and the gang.

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

      Being POO is a really bad thing in FPL. 8.6m also a fairly steep price when Jimenez is 7.5m and you have great budget options like Hwang, Toney and Armstrong.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It is bad in isolation yes, but IT doesn't make him a bad pick at all when his XGi is that good and he is getting the FPL points as well

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        You prefer Grealish)Foden, right? One could argue they as well have a fairly steep price when you compare them to budget picks like Mbeumo and Raphina.

        Jesus is underperforming his XGI and is still outscoring Grealish (and Foden) big time.

  24. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Missed out on Son's price rise and need to downgrade one of my subs now. Already has Toney.

    A) Mbeumo + Omo as sub
    B) ESR + Manquillo as sub

    Other subs: Foster, Livra, Luiz

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

      Luiz > Brownhill. It's easy.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. Botman and Robben

        +1

      To busy making 150 pointless team reveals a week to bother making people’s data secure

      1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He certainly can't play the 'we made a genuine mistake but will get better' card anymore.

        He was warned months ago and chose to behave recklessly with our personal data

    Is there a way to see the RMT / predicted points for GW1-7 on FFS?

    I was going to do some analysis on the score predictions on previous weeks vs actual points scored but it seems to be from GW8 onwards.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      I guess they wiped it to save embarrassment

  26. Good Times
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If both players were fit, would you go for lukaku or Kdb as your 2nd heavy hitter?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku now and maybe KDB from gw12 on wards. Depends on Ronaldo's AND Lukaku's form

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

      Lukaku.

    3. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I got Vardy.
      Fixtures look very juicy for Lukaku, but reckon I keep until Vardy starts blanking.

  27. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Long Run, which combination would you got for?

    A) KDB, White, Toney, Mbeumo
    B) Son, Azpi, ,Toney, Mbeumo
    C) Son, Azpi, ,Antonio, 4.5 Mid

    1. FC Hakkebøf

    Question to any Arsenal fans.....is Saka worth investment?....is he a regular or is Pepe a big threat?

    1. Aadii
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka has been Arsenal's best player this season and is definitely nailed on. Even if Pepe starts, Saka will play on the other wing. Worth investment? Maybe because Arsenal has good fixtures coming up.

        Thanks for the imput
