It might be three red arrows in a row (at the time of writing, midway through Gameweek 14) but my rank is still looking healthy. I am currently at 24,024 and happy with how things are shaping up, despite a couple of poor decisions in the last few weeks that have cost me three transfers for little-to-no reward.

Getting Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.3m) in for Jamie Vardy (£10.7m) (along with Ben Johnson (£4.0m)) a few weeks ago, only to then swap him immediately for Kane has again reinforced the dangers of aggressive, short-term moves. Had I not made those, I’d be sitting even prettier right now, with two free transfers to boot.

With that in mind, I’ve turned to the Fantasy Football Scout Transfer Planner to plan out my next moves.

    1FT, 0.3M ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA James Canelo Alonso
    Salah Raphinha Mbeumo Cornet
    Vardy Aubameyang

    Foster Watkin Livramento Brownhill

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years

      I'd play watkins over mbeumo and roll

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years

        Agree. Benching Watkins vs leaky Leicester is madness

  5. BobB

      Not until he shows some form.

  6. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years

    Chances of Armstrong getting benched?

    Adams keeps scoring and Broja knocking on the door

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Possibly. He has tailed off slightly. He may get one more start before Ralph makes a decision.

    2. el polako

      Broja true Saint knocking on (heaven's) door.

  7. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone else without a runner in tonight’s games? Reasonably happy with 60 but feels like some combo of Kane/Ramsdale/Ronaldo could punish

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Got 2 tonight, Sonny and Toney. Need big hauls!

      48 - 4 atm. Ramsdale, ESR, Son, Reguilon and Toney to play. Dennis on my bench after them.

    5. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Feel the same with 60 and Reguilon left. I'm betting on a combo of over 1,5 goals in both games. Either way I'm happy then...

    6. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Just ESR, who's subbing in for James. Happy with my 70 so far

  12. Well you know, Triffic

    These team reveal and planning articles seem to be a day or two early these days. If Ronaldo, Toney or Mbuemo haul tonight then it would change everything.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      I doubt he'd sell Kane for Ronaldo this week. Mbeumo may come in for Livra.

      Not all set in stone.

    2. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Just some forward planning! Things can change quickly of course… but I’d be amazed if Mbeumo survived the next few weeks whatever happens!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Tsimikas in is not a good idea and Bernardo could easily be rested. Nor do I like Sissoko. A.

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      B, but if you have .2 more I'd go for Ben Johnson instead.

  15. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    What to do with Gundogan? Exact money to sell him for Bernardo, but I expect Silva to be rested and all we know about Gundogan, is that he was out because doctor said so. Feels sideways transfer that could easily backfire immediately. Exact money.

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Same issue
      Have literally the same funds as well for gundo to Bernardo before bernardos price rise
      I’m keeping Gundogan
      If he’s fit by wolves I don’t mind waiting or else I’ll get Sancho in for him next week
      Maddison seems knee jerky

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Bernardo haa scored great goals but is that sustainable? Gundogan has good underlying numbers, for his last two, but that is very limited sample size. Saving now allows 2 ft:s to get Sancho, but cannot sacrifice Son before NOR. So I am really struggling with the downgrade to get money for that transfer if I want Sancho. Toney to Pukki or King allows Gundo to Bernardo, but then it's probably again "only one week" for Gundo to start.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      I brought in Bernardo last GW, was gutted Gundo got a goal and assist. Held my nerve to stick with Bernardo instead of hopping to Gundo. Just be patient and wait for pressers

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Wait for pressers. I really want to just hold on so hopefully there's good news. Obviously if he's ruled out for a while I'll have to make the switch.

      With Toney and Son in my squad I'm really hoping you're wrong. But I agree, the fixture doesn't exactly scream goals

    Bernardo looking like he will rise in price tonight. Worth getting now before he does?

      Only if you don’t mind taking hits

        I've got two FTs mate

        1. Stamford B
          • 4 Years

          I would probably do it in that case

    Should I use one of my two FTs to switch Foster?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger James
    Salah Raphinha Jota ESR
    Kane Toney

    Foster Livra Antonio Brownhill

    Transfer Plan
    GW15: Burn or switch Foster out
    GW16: Kane to CR7 (depending on United's performance)
    GW17: Raph & Toney to Foden & Dennis

    Bernardo should keep his place on form but who knows with Pep

      True.

      The squad is as thin as it is right now. Can't see Pep dropping him with his form.

      Jesus or B.Silva
