Haaland dilemma, selling Solanke, best cheap forwards: FPL Q&A

1 November 2024 370 comments

zøphar

Eight-time top 10k finisher Zophar hosts his usual weekly FPL Q&A ahead of Gameweek 10. This one is all about forwards, asking about an Erling Haaland (£15.4m) sacrifice and which cheap ones are best.

Our writers are providing regular articles throughout the season, with only subscribers able to access every single one. You can still get 40% off a Premium Membership by signing up here. Once aboard, you’ve locked in the price of your Premium Membership for good, so long as you don’t cancel!

Q: Why all the buzz around selling Haaland? You can have him, Bukayo Saka (£10.0m), Cole Palmer (£11.0m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) and own three good captaincy options. I get spreading the funds but will it score more?

FPL notes: Haaland's season-best xG - but just one goal

My name is Maradona
1 year, 1 month ago
Henderson
Munoz, TAA, Lewis
Salah (C), Rogers, Palmer (VC), Rutter, Mbeumo
Wood, Wissa

Flekken, Welbeck, Robinson, Porro

Worth a punt on Welbeck or Rutter vs Liverpool?
Or should I put in another defender?

Afternoon All. I've got £8.6m to spend on 2 defenders. I'm thinking Andersen & Mykolenko or is there a better combo for that budget?

I've already got Gabriel, Lewis & RAN

Thanks in advance

  Mykolenko and a 3.9, no need to waste 0.4 on your 5th defender. However if that's what you want to do then I would probably go Hall over Andersen

4 FT & 0.4m ITB

Sanchez
TAA - Porro - Lewis - Konsa
Salah - Mbuemo - Johnson
Haaland - Havertz - Welbeck

Fabianski - Keane - Onana - Winks

A) TAA + Havertz + Onana + Porro > Ait-Nouri + Saka + Cunha + DEF fodder
B) Sell Haaland and get in Saka + Palmer for Onana + Johnson
C) Roll FT's until GW12

    Agreed, but will have a couple transfers to burn before then. Any moves you see to help work towards a GW12 reshuffle?

      Wellback doesn't have good fixtures in the next 2 so I would get Larsen/ Cunha in his place. Rest are all fine and I would happily roll and plan to get Saka and Palmer by GW12

  Very nice team.
  
  Yes Welbeck needs upgrading
  
  You can play Gabs > Sanchex to (I am doing this with Raya, cant see that being a CS for either side).
  
  In your shoes Haaland is a GW12 or even GW13 move.
  
  If you want to be very bold you could get in a Jackson in now too, for Haaland/Havertz
  
  You could downgrade Porro and Taa to Konate/Gabriel. and then roll to GW12
  
  I am binning all spurs assets by GW12
  
  Lots of options with those FT's

  Out of those two in isolation, over the next few weeks I would go Son over Saka. The fixtures look better

Hello lads,

Is Gakpo nailed?

Current team:
Vicario
Van de Ven (doubtful 75%) - Gvardiol (doubtful 75%) - Davis
Rogers - Palmer - Mbeumo - B.Johnson
Gakpo - Delap - Haaland
Subs:
Flekken - Konsa - Mykolenko - McNeil

FT 1.0, ITB 2.4
Any recommendations?

Who would you sell Eze for?

A) Son who is potential captain in GW11, but still a bit of a doubt for minutes this weekend and would likely sell to Saka in GW12.
B) Saka. Not great fixtures the next two but would want from GW12.
C) Bruno. Bit of a wildcard choice given performance so far this season, and unknown with new manager, but great fixtures coming up.

1FT 0.2m ITB

Flekken (Fab)
TAA Gvardiol* Gabriel* (Faes Greaves*)
Palmer Mbeumo Johnson Rogers (Semenyo)
Haaland Solanke Wood*

Even with all the flags on defenders not massively keen on a defender transfer this GW, will probably look at moving Solanke on or rolling:

A) Roll
B) Solanke > Raul/Larsen (can afford Johnson + Gvardiol > Saka + RAN in GW12)
C) Solanke > Cunha (will need to sell Haaland/TAA to afford a second premium mid)

  No way I am transferring him out before Soton if I have eaten five blanks or so already. If he gets 2p, whatever. Throwing him out the next week.

Hey guys!

I have three options I am considering

I have 3 FT

A) OUT: Diaz, TAA, Gabriel, Solanke
IN: Salah, Ait Nouri, 4.6 defender, Cunha (or Wissa) (-4 hit)

B) OUT: Diaz, Haaland, ESM, Solanke
IN: Salah, Cunha, Saka, Wissa (- 4hit)

C) OUT: Solanke
IN: Cunha (or Wissa) (Save three FTs for next week to do A or B)

Thanks!

Stuck in a bit of a rut and making too many knee jerk transfers (which aren’t going too well).
Any thoughts?
0.3 ITB, 1FT

Flekk Fab
Digne Lewis Gab Myko Greaves
Rogers Mbeu Foden Palmer Semenyo
Solanke Haaland DCL

Roll this GW & save the FT?
-4 hit to bring in Salah (for Haaland) & upgrade Semenyo?

Cheers!
