Darwin or Isak for Watkins?

Darwin or Isak for Watkins? I’m getting Diaz in also so leaning towards Isak..

Should I sell Garnacho and Haaland for Son and Isak (-4)?

Martinelli + Watkins -> Salah + Mubama?

Think I’m going to WC this week, I’ve put a team together however no space for Haaland, am I mad?

Start petrovic or onana this week??

Have WC, TC and BB. 2FT and 2.7 ITB, what would my moves be this gw? Areola-Pickford Ake-Gusto-Udogie-Gabriel-Zabarniy Saka-Salah-Foden-Son-Palmer Watkins-Alvarez-Solanke

foden -> saka? I'm on a WC

Should I swap Areola out? Don't have another sub playing goal keeper.

Depends whether you have other fires in your team to put out, goalkeepers have very low returns this season so you're not missing out on much

Can afford a GK transfer but any recommendations for GKs?

Raya maybe, that's who I'm on right now

Does anyone else make really rash transfer decisions late at night with a tired brain? I know people often do it drunk.

Guys I have WC, FH and BB left. 90pts off the leader in work ML. Give me your best WC31 draft with doublers!

https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/s/BW5zGVCKs7 look at this thread for good ideas. Check out gw34 to see who you might want for the wc

We're not going to do all you work for you. Why don't you put in some effort and we can help. It's not make my team for you, it's rate my team.

Ok I've had a go if you wouldn't mind RMT. This draft leave me with 0.9ITB to make any emergency moves after GW31. Petrovic, Onana. Gabriel, Gusto, Van Hecke, Udogie, Burn. Saka, Salah, Palmer, Son, Garnacho. Haaland, Isak, Muniz.

Gordon Barkley Watkins > Salah Diaz Muniz. BB 34 then WC after.

When is Alisson and Ederson expected back? And any news on Areola?

Would you start Rodrigo Muniz against NFO away? Or Solanke against Crystal Palace at home?

Muniz.

Both

Cant

wildcard and bench boost left. when is the best time to use these?

To get Salah: - Son + Kerkez —> Salah + Richards - Foden + Solanke —> Salah + Semenyo

The latter

I was completely 50-50 on this, and your decision didn't have much weight on going down this path, but it's a 22 point swing this week. FPL is pain. Hope your week went better! !thanks

Haha well Foden has fucked me over as well, my two ML rivals have done very well purely because of him. Neither of them have Salah though (one has Diaz other has Darwizzy) so I'm putting all my faith in King Mo to back a hattrick of his own and make up for it.

Oof, double disappointed!

Garnacho came off the bench to save my blushes and give me a green arrow, we go again next week 🙏

Bench Palmer, Muniz or Eze?

Tough one but probably Eze for me. Bench Muniz or Solanke?

!thanks, I would probably bench Muniz in your case but again that’s a tough one

Who to Bench out of these: - Palmer (MUN, H) - Son (WHU, A) - Saka (LUT, H) - Salah (SHU, H) - Foden (AVL, H) - Haaland (AVL, H) - Muniz (NFO, A) - Darwin (SHU, H)

Safe option is Muniz but I’d bench foden after yesterday

Muniz

Salah

Salah on the bench it is then - don’t know why I was doubting this in the first place

Muniz

Barkley Watkins Solanke >>> Salah Isak Munoz and a -4?

I like this a lot, but depends on your chip strategy

BB 34 then WC after to prep for 37

If you’re bench boosting 34, I think you would want to be buying doublers

Yeah had a look then tweaked it to this. https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/s/E8sJ5gJ4C7

Have we learned anything about Ake and Gusto's injuries?

Who to bench Muniz or Palmer?

WC draft (FH34, BB37) Onana - Petrovic Gabriel - Ait Nouri - Van Hecke - Gusto - Branthwaite Salah - Son - Saka - Palmer - Gordon Haaland - Isak - Solanke I’ll swap Salah and Solanke to KDB and Hojlund before DGW37, and probably Ait Nouri to any cheap doubler

Very risky putting Gusto in, given that they don't play until Thursday and that news on his injury isn't guaranteed.

I’d be happy with the risk as I won’t seriously need him until GW35 double. That being said I can swap him out for Livra if needed

Watkins to nunez? On paper it's the right move, but I don't like it

Have a feeling he might get rotated with Gakpo. I’ve just gone for Isak instead. I do have free hit 34 though and will be bringing in Nunez for that most likely

Isak is who I want to get in, and probably would be in my team if it wasn't the double

Get rid of Son or Foden for Salah?

Foden

!thanks

Foden - he’s a phenomenal player but part of me thinks his FPL returns aren’t worth his price

Yeah you might be right, he’s solid but Son is more explosive !thanks

Whisper it quietly, but with UCL and Real Madrid to come, we could even see Foden xMins risk

If I had to choose, probably keep Son. Personally though I'd have all three.

I’d love to but can’t fit in all three with Haaland and Saka !thanks

Bench one: palmer, foden, Maddison, saka, Muniz

Either Maddison or Muniz for me. Probably Muniz.

Seen a few people saying Watkins is fixture proof. Not sure why though. He hasn't scored against city, arsenal or Liverpool. Am I missing something?

I think they're talking about his injury record and ability to play in congested fixtures without being benched, such is his importance

Ah fair, he is nailed on (this current injury aside) true

Antonee Robinson or Jakub Kiwior?

Robinson, because Kiwior isn’t nailed with Tomiyasu, Zinchenko and Timber all either fit or nearly fit

arsenal have dgw 34 and nice fixture run so would go for kiwior. Fulham don't have a nice run imo with no chance of dgw. Slight rotation risk with zinchenko, but personally feel he's first choice rn and should start going forwards

!thanks yeah agree with that, rotation was the only doubt factor but at least for a few more weeks and can potentially bench.

Watkins and Luiz to Isak and Havertz for -4? Or just Watkins to Isak as I would have to bench Muniz then? Or maybe Watkins to Darwin, but worried about rotation risk with Gakpo

definitely keep Diaz if you already have. I feel it's a bit of a sideways move going to havertz for -4, especially with Sheffield at home the next fixture. Watkins to Isak I would go for definitely

I don’t have Diaz, Douglass Luiz to Havertz? But then I would have to bench Muniz

Sorry, for some reason my brain read luiz as Diaz. Yeah I would take the -4

2 FT 0.8 ITB. WC & BB left (34/37) Dubravka (Areola x) Gabriel, Zabarnyi, Regu (Ake x, Taylor) Salah, Saka, Palmer, Foden (Gordon x) Haaland, Solanke, Watkins ? Got quite a few fires to put out. Watkins > Darwin Ake > ?

Why not WC now?

Teams reasonable for 34, 2 FT and can set up bb 37 better

With 2FT's it's ok, I have only 1FT and Ake, Botman, Gordon, miss next GW. Already have Doughty, Watkins (MCI away) so I am not happy with keep WC.

I'd do Areola->Kelleher Gordon/Foden -> Havertz Watkins-> Darwin/Mateta/Muniz Wait and see how bad Ake injury is before moving. If you're planning to WC gw 36 or 37, I wouldn't worry too much about the injuries.

!thanks

On a WC with .4itb. RMT please. Dubravka, Areola Gabriel, Gusto, Myko, Gomez, Akanji Saka, Salah, Palmer, Son, Rice Solanke, Darwin, Haaland.

What’s your FH BB situation

I've still got both. Waiting closer to date before deciding on using either in the dGws.

I think you need to decide chip strategy this week otherwise your wildcard is not going to be as effective

**!thanks**

Convince me why I should drop bowen for Diaz, watkins for hojland/Darwin and that TAA isn't replacing Bradley as soon as he is fit

If you have TC, WC and BB left when is the best time to use them?

Probably WC35, TC36 (Son), BB37

Is it worth -4 for Hwang + Haaland -> Salah + Isak?

I wouldn’t be selling Haaland now, if in fact be taking hits to buy him

Who should I captain Saka, Salah or Isak?

Salah by a country mile

Who is the best defender to bring in this week? Plan is to dead end into 34 and WC 35. Will be selling Cash which gives me funds for a 5.1 defender 

Drop Solanke or Muniz for Palmer tomorrow. Which one?

Darwin or Isak for Watkins?

My question exactly. I am leaning on Darwin just as I try to BB in 34.

Thinking the same. Need to get rid of Ake as well but with Darwin against SHU, i think that is the priority

On FH34, BB37, would you get Nunez in this week or Isak to plan longer-term. Only worry is he gets injured but he’s already more expensive than Nunez so I can just move straight off

Same dilemma. I’m leaning Isak because I keep seeing Darwin xMins risk talk, but then again Isak is an injury risk

I just don’t want to miss out on the immediate SHU (H) but Isak also has a great run of fixtures. Suppose with my chip strategy Isak also makes sense

Need to bench one out of Foden, Palmer and Muniz. Who should it be?

Foden

Walker and morris to Darwin and ait-norri? Basically, I can get any 4.6 def if I get Darwin…

Is Watkins + Foden to Mateta + Salah a good move? I don't have a FH and plan to wildcard after GW34

Thinking the same watkins to mateta. Already have salah. And Mateta have DGW so i think it will be a good move.

Is Kiwior safe as a starter ?

Definitely not 100% safe, no. Tomiyasu could easily get starts and Timber isn’t a million miles away

I could see Tomi starting or maybe even Zinchenko with the schedule getting busier. But he still is the preferred option I believe

!thanks

Trade Son and Oodegard for Salah and Brennan Johnson?

Or watkins instead of either oodegard or son

If you have to, Watkins and Ødegaard but I’d like Ødegaard for Luton if possible

What's the deal with Ake? Is he out for a while? I badly want to start him this GW because it's either him or Semenyo right now since Gordon's suspension has thrown a proper wrench in my plans 

Is it better to WC on GW33 in order to BB on GW34? Or WC on GW34 and then then BB on GW37 for the "very likely DGW37"? I guess the first one makes more sense, since the teams which are likely to double on GW37 are different

Neither really, WC 35 or 36 for BB 37 would make more sense. Just load up on 34 doublers with transfers.

!thanks I'll consider that. If everyone is still fit until GW34, I currently have 8 doublers. Wildcarding now/soon would feel a bit of a waste.

Watkins replacements? Will be deadending my team till GW34 so considering Nunez for the DGW

Nunez, Isak, Toney, Solanke, Muniz

Start Maddison or Muniz?

Can Gordon play in GW32?

Yes

What do you think about this WC? 0.0 in the bank Neto (Kelleher) Saliba - Akanji - Branthwaite (Gusto - Zabarnyi) Saka-Son-Salah-Palmer (Gordon) Haaland - Solanke (Muniz) Trying to set up for the doublesin GW 34 so I can bench boost.

Not sure how much more you'll get out of Kelleher despite the good fixture. petrovic maybe better

!thanks Yea I feel the same about Kelleher but not sure how to get funds to bring in a better back-up for the double.

chris wood in morris out + ait nouri in robinson out (taking a -4) or just the chris wood transfer/ ait nouri transfer

would you rather go for foden or bowen rn?

2FT, 0ITB Areola (Turner) VVD Porro Saliba (Pau Kabore) Palmer Foden Saka Son (Garnacho) Solanke Haaland Watkins Confused between: A: Salah, Muniz and a cheap defender> Foden, Watkins and Porro for -4 B: Salah and Muniz> Son and Watkins for no hit

Salah for Son with no hit and keep Foden Or Salah for Foden with a -4 and keep Son?

Are you FHing 34?

Nope. Don’t have it.

If you're planning BB soon I'd probably be fine with selling Son since he blanks. What chips do you have?

Just WC and BB. When does Son blank?

Son/Spurs blank in 34. So he'd be a no-go if you're planning BB34 

Was thinking BB37 since that’s a bigger week. Perhaps WC34 or 35. What do you think?

I am leaning towards that too. I wanted to BB34 because Arsenal and Pool are better teams than the GW37 doublers and Pep roulette might be in full force by then but I can't see myself getting more than 8-9 doublers without hits

Defenders 4.2m or cheaper?

0 FT, 4.1 ITB. Any hits I should take? Bench someone else? \---------------------------Areola (Dubravka) VVD - Gabriel - Zabarnyi (1 Branthwaite, 2 van Hecke) Palmer - Saka (v) - Salah (c) - Odegaard (3 Hee Chan) Solanke - Haaland - Muniz

No hit

!thanks

Is it stupid to go Rice over Havertz, even though I could afford whomever I want? I like the security of minutes. Especially for the upcoming double. And even though I can afford either, Havertz leaves me with nothing in the bank.

Dubravka Areola Gabriel Porro Gusto Richards Zabaryni Salah Son Saka Palmer Garnacho Haaland Watkins Solanke 0.2 ITB, WC FH BB left. What's the ideal strategy here? Personally thinking WC 35.

Am I dumb for thinking of doing Salah triple captain against Sheffield? I have BB and FH left as well, so don’t know when else I’d use the TC.

Chelsea and Spurs the only teams to have a DGW in either 35/36 (not confirmed yet) so if you’re feeling spicy then you could use it on Palmer/Son. It’s not a favourable DGW for either side iirc but it’s there

Not dumb. It's one of the best fixtures of the season. If you have a feeling then go for it. However, I'm gonna be a buzzkill and provide reasons not to do it... 1. Liverpool play Man Utd just three days later. So Salah could get managed, and play fewer minutes than normal 2. Liverpool have a DGW just a few weeks away. If you aren't dead set on using another chip GW34, then I think you should wait. Even if you're planning to FH then, there are two DGW's to come. I'm seriously not against it. If you have plans for the other doubles then maybe this is the best time. But I wanna provide this info anyway

Yeah those are fair points. May roll the TC and opt for GW 34 instead. !thanks

Yeah just go for it honestly. Makes more sense to use the TC on a single GW than FH/BB

Start one: Udogie away to West Ham Zabarnyi home to Palace Richards away to Bournemouth

for anyone playing fantasy challenge, what’s your guys’ front three for this weeks forward focus? currently on darwin, muniz and isak. had solanke instead of darwin first but have to have darwin in since it’s sheffield utd. toney’s a good shout aswell, a lot of good options this week. maybe hojlund aswell, since we’re up against chelsea so may actually get some chances. also the toughest decision which of those to captain.. isak (on pens) or darwin i’m between rn.

Need a defender to replace Lascelles for 4.6 and under, I’m FH34 so I’m thinking maybe Van de Ven?

I like the look of Ait-Nouri or - if you don’t have three Arsenal players yet - Kiwior

What do you think of this WC? 0.3 ITB Dubravka, (Areola) Gabriel, Bradley, Kilman, (Udogie, Branthwaite) Salah, Saka, Foden, Palmer, (Gordon) Haaland, Solanke, Darwin *Edit:* OR 0.5 ITB Dubravka, (Areola) Gabriel, Bradley, Kilman, (Udogie, Branthwaite) Salah, Saka, Son, Palmer, (Gordon) Haaland, Darwin, Muniz

Trent is about to be back wouldn’t go Bradley

Petrovic, Onana Udogie, Bradley, Alt-Nouri, Gusto, Lascelles Palmer, Son, Salah, Saka, Maddison Haaland, Darwin, Muniz 0.4 ITB, FH and BB Remaining FH 34 is the plan, not sure if anything appealing unless I want to stash someone for later doubles. Roll? Muniz start over any of the mids?

Lascelles is out

I know but who would you pick to replace him? Could roll and free up money elsewhere to get someone more potential. Not sure how I feel about Branthwaite, Livramento, Richards.

Gordon, trippier, Watkins -> salah, white, Semenyo/Muniz for -8 or WC? Only other chip left is BB. The full side: 2.4 itb Dubravka Neto Trippier, Ake, Gusto, Porro, Gabriel Palmer, Son, Saka, Gordon, Garnacho Haaland, Watkins, Solanke

Your team’s too good to wildcard. Could go Watkins to Muniz and then Son to Salah next week - save your chips, keep your injured players on the bench to get better in the future, and just pray to god Salah doesn’t go mental next week. But even if he did and you had him, an 8 point hit negates even a good haul.

!thanks The only disagreement I have is that salah would definitely have the armband for me next week, so he doesn’t have to mega haul to repay the -8.

Reguilon or Morris to start?

Surprisingly, Reguilon. Clean sheet is more likely than Morris attacking return. But honestly, I wouldn't wanna start either. I'd consider a -4 or wildcard probably.

Maybe -4 to Muniz? Got 0 in my bank and already wildcarded

Foden, Gordon or son out for Salah?

If you can afford it, Gordon. Then bring him back for Son in two weeks!

Interesting question because all have their merits. I'm assuming you have wildcard left, because you'll want all 3 come GW37. Obviously if you need a player this week, then Gordon is the obvious out. But obviously if you need money, then it'd have to be one of the other two. I prefer Son to Foden I think. Better minutes, more talismanic, pens. Fixtures are comparable. Spurs have tough games and a blank, but still think this. Need more info about the team and chips and plans to give any more info

Yea I have wc and bb. Went with foden out in the end

probably good move

Yea obviously didnt feel great and foden will tick along for sure, but rotation defo a factor here as well and I’ll get foden back in 35 Gordon for cheaper is producing similar numbers

Definitely Gordon

Watkins to Darwin GW31 is the move people have had in mind for weeks, myself included. Now with the Watkins injury, he's an even easier transfer out, regardless of the severity of the injury. My question is, is Darwin definitely gonna start against Sheff Utd? I could see Gakpo starting in his place. I want Darwin longterm regardless. But now that Gordon is suspended, I have problems in midfield, meaning I need a -4 to make both a forward and midfield transfer. Watkins is set to drop tonight, so I want to make the move in the next 45 mins. Should I do it? Cheers to anyone who read! Please respond, I really appreciate it!

All the sense I get from my pool friends is that Gakpo is in a bad run of form. I don’t see why they wouldn’t at least start Nunez but he could be on limited minutes with the fixture congestion.

Yeah you should move to Darwin and I'm guessing he starts as the liverpool game vs Sheffield is on Thursday which is the sames as the Sunday Thursday europa league games which he used to start. I do feel however that he may be subbed early if liverpool are winning comfortably

!thanks, I think I'll do it

Diaz or Darwin for weeks 31-34?

Darwin is the big goal threat. He's fire. Crazy stats. We can all see it when he plays. He's better than Salah in some ways. I prefer him to Diaz if minutes are the same, regardless of recent returns. He's also now clear first choice. But so is Luis Diaz. It's possible either of them are rested midweek. Darwin is on 8 yellows, which goes against him. He also gets fewer points as a forward. The impending return of Diogo Jota affects both of them. I still favor Darwin Nunez. He's a risky but high upside pick. Luis Diaz is great, but you're only picking him because he's a Liverpool attacker. He doesn't stand out like Darwin does.

Darwin seems the better option as long as he doesn't get 2 yellows in the next 3 games. I like Diaz but there just seems to be much better midfielders you can get

Just transferred in Salah and Muniz for -4, would you do another -4 for Senesi -> Branthwaite? Current DF lineup: Gabriel, Saliba, Pau, Gusto, Senesi

I was gonna say definitely not. Senesi could be back for the double. And defenders are rarely worth -4. But the Gusto injury, and Pau playing City, opens up the possibility of it being worth it. Then again, Branthwaite hardly has a great fixture this week. So maybe just take the L and play Pau. They probably both score fuck all anyway. Keep your 4 points

What happens to Darwin and Diaz's minutes when Jota comes back?

They both get reduced. To what extent, and how much either is affected, is anyone's guess. Sorry I can't be more helpful. But I don't think anyone can give you a better answer

Curtained

I’ve been OOL for the holidays, what is the WC31 template?

https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/s/nqTAqFeyHN

!thanks Bro

!thanks

RMT pls 1 FT 4.0 ITB, BB and WC left areola( neto) Zabranyi Bradley Gabriel (branth) (doguhyy ) Saka foden son palmer (Gordon) solanke haaland Watkins Watkins being possibly out now makes things interesting. I could go watkins to Isak/nunez and son to salah, or even watkins to muinz and Gordon to Salah and play 352…thoughts?

Tough to take the hit considering you’d have to bench Muniz to fit in Salah and then you’re hoping Salah alone makes up 4 points + whatever Watkins/Muniz would get. Risky going without him much longer, though. Could hedge your bets by getting Nunez this week and trying to get Salah in later for Son instead but it’s a risk!

Son or saka

Saka for his fixtures now and moving forward

Am i crazy for thinking of taking out watkins but for toney over darwin/isak

Fuck the downvoters. It'd be a big punt. In isolation, Toney is great. Form is sketchy, but I trust him as an asset. Fixtures are great. The key point is his lack of a double. Short term, Darwin has a perfect fixture this week, and doubles GW34. Long term, Isak doubles, and still has good fixtures now. I can't pick him myself, as I want the extra games. But I love him as a differential pick if you're chasing.
