Been playing around with some heavy hitter drafts. Thoughts on this: Martinez Johnstone
Stones Shaw Coufal Dallas Mitchell
Salah KdB Fernandes Son ESR
Kane Antonio Davis I have exact cash for something like this. If I get priced out I can always do Johnstone > 4.0m and delay the BB until later. Put my high team value to use here. All 5 big hitters! » Read
That's just another positive in Mitchell's column imo. It is far away and there's still time, but the fact he has a good fixture in 26 is a nice bonus. I do think he's likely to keep his spot. » Read
No. At the start of the season the talk was that defense is dead and that we'd be getting way more goals. The pricing structure of FPL makes it so that playing 3 at the back, 4 at most is the most cost effective method of playing and gives you the best balance because you can have cheap and effective defenders whereas at forward there is a complete black hole until you hit around 6m. » Read
Nah not for me. Kane has had barren spells. He went 4 games without getting anything earlier and it coincided with a tough run too (4 if you include his blank in GW16). Absolutely nothing vs liv LEI wol for 2, 2, 2. Nobody was clamoring for him then. It's the same for everyone. It's Salah's turn right now. As always, it's about owning people at the right time. That time for Kane is from GW21 or GW23 onwards depending on how quickly you can bring him in. » Read
Dunno what underlying stats you're looking at but it's not really true. He's been less involved since early in the season and is now rotation risk as well. Dump him. » Read
This basically. I think Mitchell should be a priority for most managers in the next two weeks. Just bring him in, he's cheap, he's good cover with good fixtures and he's playable in a BB DGW26 provided he keeps his place (FUL). » Read
I'm benching Soucek, Coufal and Justin. Dallas vs Newcastle is as good a fixture as it gets. Soucek is still a CM and plays deep most of the time. Benching him over Watkins who can score huge sometimes isn't good. Soucek capped at 1 goal typically but Watkins can score a hat-trick vs Liverpool. » Read
Wouldn't be looking at buying any of those. You should be planning a way to get Spurs players imo. They have a DGW in 26 and good fixtures starting in GW23 or even 21 if you want to move a bit earlier. » Read
The problem is Kane. I want Kane and need to find a way. I cannot pull enough money out of defense to make it work so I have to lose one of the big 3 mids. KdB and Salah have fixture swings in GW23 so I think I'll probably defer the decision until then and pick one in a few weeks to lose for Kane. » Read
I don't even like Soucek anymore. His price is not what it once was. ESR is better for cheaper and I could go for Gundo, Saka or Raphinha for only a tiny bit more. » Read
Looks like Salah. MCI lei EVE is a pretty nasty run of games for Pool especially if they don't rediscover their form. Problem is, GW26 and 27 is shu and FUL. Short term remove? » Read
Anyone here still with the power 5 midfield?
Salah KdB Fernandes Son Grealish I still have it but it's making it very hard to maneuver the rest of the team. I'm stuck with having Bamford and Antonio up front for now and I'm shuffling my defense around to try and get double City. I also want Kane by GW23. How would you get him in? I'd have to lose one of the mids. » Read

I'm only 3 transfers away from this. Could plan for it in GW23. » Read

No. Just save FT. Dallas has a potential GW23 DGW. I want to buy as much time as possible before making a move like that. » Read

No thanks. I'm either downgrading to Mitchell or going up to Shaw. » Read

I'd be looking at Robertson > Cancelo myself. Nice fixture swing to do it and that gives you money to do Vardy > Kane in 21 or in 23. » Read

I personally think Telles is the new Kolarov. Too slow. He's got vastly over-inflated value because of his set pieces. » Read

I think KdB might be expendable actually... Could do KdB > Gundogan and hope he covers and that easily funds Bamford/Antonio > Kane. » Read

That team is in very good shape. Monitor Foden. Grealish could be back on the menu. Fixtures are amazing and he has DGWs coming. » Read
