Skonto Rigga Sonaldo and Pras address some of the burning issues ahead of the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline.
The pair look at each Gameweek in detail from now up until the March international break, asking if a Free Hit in Gameweek 30 is worth it and when the optimum time is to play the second Wildcard.
You can view the video below or over on our YouTube page, with the timestamps for each section listed below the embed.
Viera loves to rotate his strikers!
Edouard is definitely not as nailed as people pointed out lol
Not being captain hindsight but he’s been constantly taken off by 60-65 and that’s not nailed enough for me
Everyone was saying he wasn’t nailed
Then why did the vast majority get him? To whine about him getting benched? :p
Herd mentality, was never nailed
Because he scores off thw bench
.2 short thank God. I listened to the noise.
He hasn’t been benched since he started in week 14. And he’s played over 60 in all those games so yea it’s a bit of a surprise to seem him benched when he’s had four returns in last five games tbh
If you’re nailed you won’t be off by 65 mark
That’s not the sign of a nailed player no matter what
Also you’ve got to see how many big chances he’s missed
Also vieira has a huge pool of players to select from
This. In form and starting regularly. Not starting today is a surprise, but not sky is falling stuff given his price and the consistently poor performance of most strikers.
Yeah there's a bit of revisionist history going on here. . . more likely he's not fully fit or they don't want to risk him,
Yes. Olise the better option then?
His performances have been top notch every game he’s played
I think vieira rated him very highly and he’s more nailed than edouard atleast(imo)
Zaha Gallagher are easily top 2 nailed rest is a bit of a roulette
Yeah true mate. Everytime I have watched him he has looked good.
Never thought he was nailed and knew that when I brought him in but to go from 9 starts to bench I wasn’t expecting
Agree 100%
It's hardly as if those priced around him are doing anything. If he comes on for a cameo he scored 1 less than Dennis, King, Antonio etc. He doesn't need to start every game at that price and in current form.
Brought Edouard in on WC, come Saturday morning he will long longer be in my team. Cant put up with this BS. Out for Weggy
I brought in as well what a waste of a transfer!
Same 🙁
Don’t worry, he’ll come of the bench to hand owners some points. He was always a risk.
He was in my drafts but ended up not playing it. Could still come on and do d at one damage.
Can’t believe he’s left Edouard out!! Probably come on for last 10 mins
Hopefully Palace struggle to score, so to maximise Edouard minutes going forward...
It's crazy that he is on the bench.
They just splashed the cash on Mateta so need to keep him happy too.
Can't be many more nailed on clean sheets than Man City tonight!
No Toney or even Mbeumo. Ghoddos up front.
Don't jinx it, captained Cancelo 🙁
I've been waiting for Ghoddos to start. Underrated
Oh what have you done!?
No Walker though, big miss.
Best defensive fullback in the world.
Was looking at Edouard myself for the DGW, but Palace seem to have too much competition for the CF spot. Were they obligated to buy Mateta last month? He's looked rubbish whenever I've seen him for them.
Wondering the same thing, don't think jt was obligation though but he's barely ever played and has done nothing when he has.
I thought he was highly rated?
Olise looks lively too.
He was in Germany, has looked another one who's failed to make the transition to the PL whenever I've seen him though.
Olise has looked good when playing, he was one of our best players at Reading last season and will do well at a team like Palace that's looking to play more attacking football. But Mateta just looks very laborious and too slow on and off the ball. Not saying he won't come good but I haven't seen anything to say he will
Why isn't Walker starting. Well I'll gladly sacrifice my KDB clean sheet point. Hope they concede a couple.
Went out on the lash with Grealish
Oh for god sake. What a wolly.
right?! wasnt everyone saying he was nailed because he's banned in CL?
Cancelo, Digne, Reguilon, KDB(c), Sterling & Kane
Hoping for some big hauls!
I see 40 plus points there
I brought Digne in this week, apologies in advance
Surely this is a case of Edouard being rested in one of the easier fixtures while he settles into the league. Can't see him being a rotation risk for long.
Probably recovering from some knock in training is my guess.
Rested after a break when he's been in the league for months? I can't see the sense in that
Probably a knock in training and Vieira not taking a chance. Many players take as long as a season to settle into a new league and their new team properly.
Nor can I. He has been subbed off after 60 minutes as a thumb rule. There are two possibilities when that stops to happen. Either he gets 90 minutes or simply doesn't start. The latter happened.
I’d say that he’s purely giving Mateta minutes in a game as against opposition facing relegation. Could just be good man management opposed to giving someone a rest.
Yeah, good point. That's quite possible as well.
Palace have been in awful form on the road though and Norwich have been resurgent of late with 4 wins in 5, not so sure it'd be a great call if so
It's how the game ends, not starts that ultimately counts.
Bought him in on WC but he was always a risk. Got a strong bench though so no shakes
languishing on an old thread....
Set up like this for next gw - plan is to roll and do KDB+Foden > Salah+7.5mid
Sa
TAA, Cancelo, Ait-Nouri
KKDB, Jota, Foden, Raphinha, Bowen
Kane, Watkins
Foster, Idah, Lowton, Tierney.
1ft, 0.1itb.
Question is do I do KDB > Bruno for next week and then Bruno > Salah.
So really it equates to a -4 for KDB > Bruno for this week (though the hit would come in dgw36).
Thoughts?
Wait till this GW has finished
I’d keep KDB v Norwich instead of Fernandes - I have no faith in UTD at the moment - form over DGW every time
yeah - that's my instinct for sure.
Maybe I move Foden to the cheaper mid early in case of rotation - depends who I like.
Transferred in Cancelo for the first time this season and captained him. After watching him kill me every week I’m finally ready to join the Cancelo points train.
Cue a 1 pointer!
The City defensive line up doesn't make any sense. Why would they play a centre back at left back and bench Walker and Zinchenko?
Laporte can play left side and Pep always wants his players to understand, interchange and be able to play multiple positions so they can be fluid in the forward transition.
So basically it's a Pep masterclass
Practice home to Brentford in a real match setting!
We'll see if Cancelo is overloading as an extra midfielder too.
Yeah that's confusing alright
Saying that I prefer cancello on the right he seems to be a lot more involved from that side
Toney out for long?
I'm keen to know this nice excuse to punt on weghorst
Yeah me too, need him for the weekend
Shane? No
Brentford described it as minor. Will almost certainly be discussed pre (and post) match.
Guess I wont be getting Edouard then. Olise maybe the better option.
I see Zouma has been fined £250,000 by West Ham and Adidas have pulled his sponsorship deal … and his cats taken away … and RSPCA launching a civil case against him.
Hopefully just the start of it. Surely he must get suspended.
No one talking about the bs Chris Kirland said?
Not heard this … enlighten us please?
Apparently 250,000 is the maximum they can fine him, its going to an animal charity, Essex police still investigating, I can't see how they won't charge him with something, RSPCA should ban him from keeping animals for life but he'll probably end up getting the cats back and abusing them again.
I’m more pleased that West Ham are losing sponsors - they should never have played him
Edouard (C), Bowen (VC)
Gutted. He comes on. Hope he scores for you at least!
that was ballsy.
Wow, nervous watch for you!
Yikes…
He will come on
That’s a horror watch for you tonight lol
Very similar position Eduard (C) Jota (VC). One pointer immient:)
After a shocker yesterday I think it’s Foden double digit haul or red arrow considering ownerships
That’s not the way it works
Foden needs to start delivering.
Underperforming for a while now.
Feels weird to have everyone start!
Big day for me.
(K)DB, Foden, Watkins, Kane, Raphinha, Cancelo...even Idah as first bench.
Good luck all but especially me!
I already had Ronaldo benched but at least all start tonight
Gray started for me yesterday. Since DCL didn't I got Dennis' "haul".
Very true! Having Mahrez on the pitch is a bonus I’ll take. Hopefully he can do the biz now when he has low ownership it’ll do no harm to getting me up the ranks
Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins, Coutinho.
Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas, Klich, Koch, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, James.
The game I’m shocked I have nobody playing in…
Cheers
This game makes me nervous. Own no one.
Watkins and Digne here
Cash and Raphinha in this, not sure what I want
Villa will concede, you better hope its a Raphina goal
Better for you if cash was to keep a cleanie and maybe a return his ownership would be low enough
Digne! Red card/own goal incoming
Yeah, all these new Digne owners can't get used to double digit hauls
Is that conte’s preferred defence??
I have no idea, he doesn't seem to rate Reguilon very highly
I think Dier plays over one of Sanchez/Davies when fit
Just listening to five live and they’re saying conte isn’t happy with reguilon fitness for what he requires of him
Flagged Raphinha starts
You know what time it is.
Time for a blank
Lots of chances for his team mates to fluff?
Mahrez 20pointer incoming - well done anyone playing him
Camzy on here captained him
Fabulous!
Yep he is very good at stealing all the points
I captained him on my wildcard team, hopefully pays off
Brave call hope it works out for ya
Cheers mate
Oh do I need him to fire tonight. I’m happy just to have him on the pitch if he gets any sort of rerun I’ll take it!
Was between doing
Gray to Mahrez (C) and King to Eduaord for a hit.
Guess which one I did....
Latter
Ohh yess
Villa v Leeds has action-packed writ large - hope it doesn't disappoint, but if we are to get one of those 4-3 or 5-4 games this season, this could be it.
Been a few fiesty games between them since they were competing in the Championship too
Who’s your captain?
Son(c) here
HurriKane
Super Harry
Mahrez
Huge differential, good luck
You too! Will be a while before we see so many different captain picks in one week so lots of potential there
Agree with that. Back to Salah every week soon
Bowen
Well played 22 points in the bag
Cheers, good luck to you...
KDB
Was close to bringing him in and would of been my captain, in the end went for Son due to the double and funds for Salah
Son
LETS GO
Mahrez
Great shout
Foden
Good luck
KDB
KDB
Kevin
Yay everyone starts 🙂
Played Ramsey over Dennis, hope it pays off
brought benteke in for the first norwich fixture... fail
brought edouard for second norwich fixture.... fail
Edouard will come on and score, no worries. Eye test for Olise
No luck
Watkins G
Digne A
Dreamland
My heart sank when I read this 😆
Mine was filled will glee
Ban 😉
Make it so.
Mahrez must’ve drank mineral water last Saturday night since he’s the only one of the three on the town that’s playing lol!!
He is a muslim
