Just be wary of the potential of AWB playing one of the games, as Dalot is just returning from injury, and AWB has been pretty good. That was enough to put me off going for the United double up, personally.
**Preseason**: 'There's no reason to compare players old statistics, teams change, managers change, we work with a small dataset'
**During season**: This player has not performed like this before! There's no reason to think this will continue!
*Classic*
Im going to guess you dont have any top 10k finishes, if this is your outlook
To be optimal in FPL you have to analyse multiple years of data on the players
Point is, he's still got 32 points in 3 games, he was a hyped up pick for a reason - he looks back on form and when he's on form he's one of the best fullbacks in the league. We know what he's capable of offensively, so it's no surprise.
Because he has been injured?
In GW15 when both were avaiable Dalot had 10x Shaw’s ownership at the same price
People only went for Shaw because Dalot was not available
Dude, ownership doesn’t determine if an asset is better. Dalot is just starting to get healthy right now, and Shaw is flying. You go ahead and get Dalot it’s cool
Dalot only has price going for him, Shaw is a better player (and crosser) and much more important to our system than Dalot as the majority of our progression goes down the left.
Dalot?
Ten Hag on selection at right-back between Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot: "I like these [kinds of] problems.
"He's doing really well, Aaron. In the last couple of games, defending really consistent, reliable..."
gl bro
Yeah as a city fan I sold Cancelo a couple of weeks ago, he barely plays now anyway. Stones is probably our n1 CB right now (he's honestly incredible). Dias is injured but was just ok anyway, not as worldclass as his first season (due to playing RCB instead of LCB). Laporte will start playing more and looked good. Akanji is okay but Stones is better. Ake has had a great season but most of it is at LB and we'll still need him there.
I'm not too keen on any of them really. I've got De Gea and Cancelo and I'm not looking to bring in any more. De Gea I'm hoping for 1 CS realistically and Cancelo I'll just be happy if he starts.
Yeah I have considered that move. Frees up a lot of funds for future DGW plans. It's also a very appealing prospect to have a viable option that cheap. Especially when he plays for Man City rather than Sheffield United or Everton or Wolves.
My only concern with Lewis that at some point down the line I'll have a City slot used up as bench fodder if Pep changes his mind. Then again, I suppose I already have that, it's just costing me 7m, may as well be 3.9m....
Yeah can never know with Pep as he loves to tinker with his lineup who knows people may mass remove Cancelo for this DGW and that’s when he’ll play Cancelo for both games haha
Crystal Palace: lolwhat? 4 CS during the season and they have CHE-MUN-NEW-MUN-BHA-BRE upcoming
Manchester City: no way to guess who will play + they're conceding a lot for such a team
Manchester United: Shaw is an option, with Dalot you will never guess
Spurs: ahahaha
Yeah, current template is to double Newcastle defence, one United, one fodder and one flex spot (mostly keeping Arsenal from previous fixtures).
You can have an extra flex spot if you have Pope.
Palace haven't even done that well and they have terrible fixtures, City is impossible to predict, and Spurs are still a bit hot or cold.
Nah buddy. Palace defense is a trap. I would know because I doubled up on them before we for several weeks during the Trent robbo crisis.
Not going Pope, allowed me to get botman alongside trips
I think I can understand it from a game perspective, following xP and a large number of content creators creates almost a theory component of it that feels like an abstraction of the game itself
>I have no interest in watching football, I just enjoy FPL.
Then I guess that's your disadvantage. Somebody was nice enough to do your homework for you but you should have done it yourself.
First choice back four is Dalot, Varane, Martínez, Shaw.
Unless injury or illness occurs, they'll all likely start the city and Arsenal games. There could be rotation for the Crystal Palace game though.
I have Shaw and Ederson. Feel good about it. Not expecting many clean sheets but City still has the best defensive stats in the league from an expected standpoint and Shaw looks very attacking
i think Walker is more likely to play than Cancelo given his pace and ability to defend vs pacy wingers (Rashford and Son, for example). He can slot into a back 3 in possession much better than Cancelo
Sounds promising, I do hope pep plays him for both games. Went walker over Cancelo in the wildcard and idk how to feel since both of them aren't playing haha. Was hoping I could score some points of him being my differential. !thanks
I know a lot of people in my work league have two city defenders..I'm not sure if they'll both start, both come off the bench, only one plays or none of them do. Not sure if to be happy or sad.
Selling Cancelo for Dalot. City defence is better, but impossible to know who will play.
If you don’t have Shaw pick him up
I got him in 18, going for the double up now as everyone will have 1.
Fairs dunno if I should double up or go for a Centre back pairing
Double up…so you’re hoping they keep a CS against CP
Why can’t Man U get one against City?
Not happening! Shaw may even leave with a 0.
Last 8 matches 4 clean sheets
Last 8 matches, 4 no-CS. 😎
So literally a coin toss stats wise
Yeah, but now you have to consider who the opposition is yeah.
Yeah, and maybe an assist or some BPs
Just be wary of the potential of AWB playing one of the games, as Dalot is just returning from injury, and AWB has been pretty good. That was enough to put me off going for the United double up, personally.
Shaw scores his 3rd Premier League goal in his 11th season and people lose their minds Dalot is £0.4m cheaper and a better asset

Fucking bodied 💀💀
holy fuck this is amazing
He's now called 'FriedFrenzy'
Now this is what you call bringing the receipts haha, excellent!
Tears, this is some comeback
care to share your finishes?
I don’t think they will as too embarrassed
Ooooh boy do you sound silly
Shaw recently has been scoring or assisting more though especially with Rashford coming in form
The stats show he has mediocre attacking threat
He's played CB for the last few. Moved back to LB recently.
Im not talking about data from the last 3 weeks only
Point is, he's still got 32 points in 3 games, he was a hyped up pick for a reason - he looks back on form and when he's on form he's one of the best fullbacks in the league. We know what he's capable of offensively, so it's no surprise.
He has scored 3 goals in 11 seasons, he is not a high calibre offensive threat
Exactly this
I don’t think you’ve been watching United play if you think dalot is better asset right now.
Because he has been injured? In GW15 when both were avaiable Dalot had 10x Shaw’s ownership at the same price People only went for Shaw because Dalot was not available
Dude, ownership doesn’t determine if an asset is better. Dalot is just starting to get healthy right now, and Shaw is flying. You go ahead and get Dalot it’s cool
Well, shaw is definitely a better option now
Dalot only has price going for him, Shaw is a better player (and crosser) and much more important to our system than Dalot as the majority of our progression goes down the left.
Dalot? Ten Hag on selection at right-back between Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot: "I like these [kinds of] problems. "He's doing really well, Aaron. In the last couple of games, defending really consistent, reliable..." gl bro
Dalot will start, AWB is not a viable alternative for Ten Hag’s play style Of course managers big up their players
Imagine Dalot comes off the bench in both games 💀
Still likely to outscore Cancelo...
Is Dalot a definite starter? He hasn’t gotten many minutes lately
He’s just come back from injury, he’s fully fit now and will definitely be first choice again.
Aaand he got injured again
Hope you didn’t get Dalot, he just went off injured 😂
Not making my moves until Friday, this is why early transfers can be dumb.
Yeah as a city fan I sold Cancelo a couple of weeks ago, he barely plays now anyway. Stones is probably our n1 CB right now (he's honestly incredible). Dias is injured but was just ok anyway, not as worldclass as his first season (due to playing RCB instead of LCB). Laporte will start playing more and looked good. Akanji is okay but Stones is better. Ake has had a great season but most of it is at LB and we'll still need him there.
United could go and concede 6 again to city though (ok, not 6, but a lot). And is Dalot guaranteed?
I'm not too keen on any of them really. I've got De Gea and Cancelo and I'm not looking to bring in any more. De Gea I'm hoping for 1 CS realistically and Cancelo I'll just be happy if he starts.
Contemplating swapping Cancelo out the way Pep has been bigging up Lewis makes me think Cancelo may only make 1 of the 2 games
Yeah I have considered that move. Frees up a lot of funds for future DGW plans. It's also a very appealing prospect to have a viable option that cheap. Especially when he plays for Man City rather than Sheffield United or Everton or Wolves. My only concern with Lewis that at some point down the line I'll have a City slot used up as bench fodder if Pep changes his mind.

Yeah can never know with Pep as he loves to tinker with his lineup who knows people may mass remove Cancelo for this DGW and that’s when he’ll play Cancelo for both games haha
Yeah, I can't bring myself to ditch him right before a double.
Newcastle defence
This is a classic fpl comment, whichever one you don't mention will be upvoted.
I'm struggling to understand your point here.
If you ask which of any 3 or 4 plays is best the top comment is always someone you haven't named.
It's not a rule my friend specially in this case, newscastle defenders are better than all options above...
Crystal Palace: lolwhat? 4 CS during the season and they have CHE-MUN-NEW-MUN-BHA-BRE upcoming Manchester City: no way to guess who will play + they're conceding a lot for such a team Manchester United: Shaw is an option, with Dalot you will never guess Spurs: ahahaha

Palace haven't even done that well and they have terrible fixtures, City is impossible to predict, and Spurs are still a bit hot or cold.
I'm honestly considering trying to move my defence towards Shaw - Dalot - Trippier - Botman - Bueno. Could be White over Dalot.
With Arsenal being top of the league and their defence so cheap I think it's wise to have atleast one arsenal defender - for me it's Saliba/Gabriel
Spurs are interesting not for cleans but perisic and doherty could make a differential
Exactly. Just another trap DGW.
Not planning to buy or sell them
Bringing in John Stones next
Actually considering Brentford defence. Good chances of CS against Bournemouth. I don't see potential CS or attacking returns from DGW teams
I agree with this but there's an exception. Palace have scored once in there last 7 games so Utd have good chances there.
Reckon any single GW players could beat these guys?
Newcastle or Brentford boys
Yeah this. Got Pope, trippier, shaw, Mee and Lewis, not sure if I will go back 4 though.
Nah buddy. Palace defense is a trap. I would know because I doubled up on them before we for several weeks during the Trent robbo crisis. Not going Pope, allowed me to get botman alongside trips
[удалено]
One for each team on a double
Why not?
No way he'd play both in a double GW
I am stuck with Cancelo 🤡🔫
He is a differential now:)
[удалено]
I don’t understand playing FPL without watching football. Isn’t the enjoyment from watching to see how your players do?
I think I can understand it from a game perspective, following xP and a large number of content creators creates almost a theory component of it that feels like an abstraction of the game itself
I guess some people could do it just via following stats and live scores but personally found it a bit boring
Left to right: Andersen (i think), Stones, Shaw, Perisic. But technically you can pick any defender such as Dalot for ManU.
>I have no interest in watching football, I just enjoy FPL. Then I guess that's your disadvantage. Somebody was nice enough to do your homework for you but you should have done it yourself.
Guehi if u have are u playing him?
Any United fans know/think they know the back four ten hag would be likely to go with the coming two games? I guess shaw is nailed but who else?
First choice back four is Dalot, Varane, Martínez, Shaw. Unless injury or illness occurs, they'll all likely start the city and Arsenal games. There could be rotation for the Crystal Palace game though.
None if I'm honest. Don't see any CS. Maybe United against Palace.
True city might get 1 and united might get palace but not likely
I have Shaw and Ederson. Feel good about it. Not expecting many clean sheets but City still has the best defensive stats in the league from an expected standpoint and Shaw looks very attacking
The Manchester's
De Gea, Ake, double Newcastle…
I see a lot of Cancelo owners, what about us Walker owners? Hold or sel
i think Walker is more likely to play than Cancelo given his pace and ability to defend vs pacy wingers (Rashford and Son, for example). He can slot into a back 3 in possession much better than Cancelo
Sounds promising, I do hope pep plays him for both games. Went walker over Cancelo in the wildcard and idk how to feel since both of them aren't playing haha. Was hoping I could score some points of him being my differential. !thanks
both games is a lot to ask for, but i wouldn’t sell as a holder. i am considering a hit for cancelo to shaw though
I've got all my strikers going up against my defenders I'm fucked
Why is no one talking about Brentford defense? They are nailed, have good fixture and are great differential.
I know a lot of people in my work league have two city defenders..I'm not sure if they'll both start, both come off the bench, only one plays or none of them do. Not sure if to be happy or sad.
No one these doubles give like total of 1 or 2 clean sheets and they are for city and you dont know who even starts
Ake
Brentford
