FPL team news: Gameweek 19 Covid latest plus injury updates

I wouldn't take a hit to get Laca out when he's about to play Norwich

Not for me

I would. It's not just about one week. With Salah going to Afcon, he a very captainable talisman with good fixtures

Nope.

Foden is a better pick when he plays imo

I would probably just take a hit to get at least 8 players and you may get lucky if those boys you mentioned do come on. In these times I'd save free hit for a truly dire situation

That's what I'm thinking. Feels so underwhelming using your FH for dross players and probably coming nowhere near using your budget.

This is the conundrum

Yeah, it too many games are decimated, you might just be better off fielding 2 or 3 players than FH. Won't know of course until boxing day

Personally IMHO I think that by the time Dgw 22 comes round, and as expected covid cases increase, that not many will risk playing their FH chip, in fear of cancellations of the second matches due to the gw being spread over potentially 9/10 days.

If you have 2 FH chips then this upcoming gameweek may be the time to play it (at the deadline) if city, spurs and United games are on. I would still have a fully playing bench entirely made up of 3pm kick off players and a VC.
This may be a cautious approach but that is the way to play at the moment.
Good luck to all and stay safe. It's only a game and we all have a good excuse for a poor season already.

No A remains an option as top 4 teams rotate during DGWs.

First question No ur transfer wouldn't count

Yes transfer will be there.

Your early transfer becomes part of your Free Hit, but will have disappeared when your previous squad is restored the following week.

How is pointless?

I find it a bit nonsensical myself if you're getting to the stage where 2-3 of 10 games are being played, I think at that stage a gameweek in its entirely might as well be delayed as I don't think getting that few games on will do much for congestion

I'd much rather have a couple of games to watch!

Hahaha. I bet they’re ahead of me too!

Crazy. It was on 101K this morning.

It's a wait until just before deadline. As it always ought to be.

For who though

No you wouldn't you'd hoard that as well. 😉

Should have left it as is. If people use the second FH and in future gameweeks there are a load of cancellations, they really shouldn’t issue another one.

Because he is a crap FPL asset these days?

2.8 points per game so far.

Son is better and cheaper. Only his thick English fans want him.

He’s awful and very expensive not amazing and cheap.

yeah i brought him in instead of Ronaldo, reasoning is that Spurs have suddenly looked good under Conte, and Kane in the last game looked like he has fire in his belly again, is he playing well for a possible January transfer ? who knows,

also Utd have looked a bit toothless so far under the new manager so Kane can certainly match or outscore Ron over the coming fixtures, but if i'm totally honest the main reason i bought Kane is so i could afford Maupay in for Dennis to get 11 players for this week 🙂

Every club clearly has their own agenda based on their current circumstances, which is why the PL needs to take the lead and show backbone where necessary.

Why?!?

Oh.

Clean up your act

Cheers bro

Same dilemma. I think Salah is worth getting rid of with some decent options this week, Son, Ronaldo, City etc.

Only if the Chelsea of Arsenal game is called off. Just wait until Sunday

I think your team is OK - very similar to mine above. I'd maybe just do Salah out to Son. I think a FH could be useful for future issues.

It is good.

Beautiful

I like it much. But what you will do when the Arsenal v. Norwich game will cancel?

Thank you!

Awesome team, I am also thinking of wilcard this week, any reason why you did not wait until week 20?

Yeah just do the -4. Free Hit in the big double gamweeks higher ceiling

Think if you can get to it with a -4 then it’s more valuable to keep the FH

Foden a doubt, Antonio wont play

It's called a conversation.

Because asking other serious competitors their opinion can be a valuable way to gain insight, and more minds to pick apart a move, a piece of play or strategy you may have missed. Fundamental to gaming and and why we have forums such as this.

Its literally the point of the website. To gather information, share opinions and offer advice

i think most of the time people are just looking for feedback for their team, there are some though that just copy other peoples teams which is sad

Not an RMTer/"A or B" merchant myself, but to answer... ...

Some are genuinely clueless.

Some want confirmation of their own thoughts.

Some want the conversation.

Overall I get your point about it would be more useful if an opinion was shared before asking a question but it is what it is.

The website grows and ranks better because of engagement metrics.

People do make their own decisions. Asking what others would do doesn't change that

My rule is that all posts should be "Valuable" in some way. While I don't personally share my roster and ask for input, I don't have a problem with others doing it, because the resulting conversations can often times be Valuable for others -- in addition to the original poster.
I define VALUE in this context as helping something think, offering advice, making someone laugh, etc.

So I must then add that the "Look at me, I scored 86 points this week with 3 to go" posts have absolutely ZERO value what-so-ever for the community, and those posters should be tarred and feathered and hanged from the virtual village square IMO.

It's called discussion.

Ultimately we make our own choices but often it's good to sound out some ideas first. Others may have valuable information that we don't.

There's a few times where I've posted my planned team (eg WC or start of the season) and then had more knowledgeable people tell me that X will be replaced by Y when Y is back fit, or that X is going to be moved into a more defensive position because of an injury to Z. I don't often post my team, but half the time when I do I get useful comments back.

I also quite like seeing people post their teams, as when I see a lot of them, I start to seeing recurring players who aren't in my own team, which might then get me looking at the underlying stats of that player.

Yep like it assuming no more games cancelled.

I’d possibly avoid the arsenal attacking triple up, could you get Bowen instead of saka?

Nice

Is there news on Foden?

Why take hits on players you don’t know if they starting, you be getting red arrows before a ball is kicked. Then u may need to take them out next week

Tough market below Dennis. Only really like broja myself if you were to do it

Get Broja

Get anyone who will play and get you 2 points and its a good deal. Dennis is going AFCON in 2 weeks anyways.

Broja is my choice, nearer to deadline transfer for me imo

Why take hits when u don’t know a player is definitely starting. Then u might need another -4 to take him out next match day

Fine choice I think

Will def be picking him if I go that way (and that game is played)

Like him. I can only afford royal on my WC but if I could get to reguilon I would

You’ll be getting rid of Broja / Martinelli in 2 weeks max

Yes

If Arsenal is off that’s 5 players including Foden who’s a risk. To get 11 it’s -24 in hits. No point holding a chip for the sake of it

I did that last gw and the aston villa game got canceled moments after

Watkins and cash wasted

But its the luck of the draw

Any expiry date on the extra free hit?

Yes
Yes cause M start and ESR Bench

Yes, and seems a bit sideways to me

1. Yes, if you haven't used yours.

2. Shipping him out before Norwich? Can't do it myself. Might do both.
