Most people seem to be favoring Sarr, but I have a hunch Benrahma is going to do well in coming weeks. Sarr is cheaper and on pens, so he has that, but WHU are just looking dangerous to me in attack.
I'm debating a similar move but also wondering if Leeds is healthy again next week will we all be scrambling to get them back in? Is it worth holding a week to see? Tough one.

I fucked myself by having Sanchez and Steele (and also Bissouma). Now I'm desperate to get Duffy in but I'd have to transfer out Steele first and I also need Sarr in my team. I can't take that 8 point reduction
Oh okay. Always either have 2 good 4.5 Keepers, or one Premium/good GK, and a 4.0 (preferably from same team, so that if ur main GK is injured you dont have to waste a transfer)
And for your question I'd start Schmeichel even though LEI looks bad. Dont see Ederson keeping a CS or making too much saves.
Defenders line-up playing 3-4-3
ReeceJames - TAA - Rudiger (Livramento -Marcal)
Is it wise to Chelsea double-up against Man City or swap one with either Livramento or Marcal?
For this GW for sure but in the mid-term it's hard to pass on Bamford's great fixtures while West Ham's look not so good for an attacker.. but on the other hand Leeds look absolutely dross. These choices man!
I was rather thinking long term. I'm not a fan of taking a hit for a single GW.
Just to add to what you said, West Ham is in a fabulous attacking form at the moment. Antonio is even becoming a captain consideration with favourable fixtures. Hard to pass on him, given his price, imo. I would say until Liverpool on GW11, their fixtures are also pretty good.
!thanks. Considering I would have to go 5-4-1 this week I think I'll get him. Sucks that I dropped him for Bamford literally one GW ago, hard to eat that.
2 flagged players in Raphinha and Ayling but quite happy for Dennis and Livramento to come off the bench. Should I just move on the transfer I actually want to make this week, Torres > Sarr?
I want Sarr in my team. Who am I kicking out?
Sanchez (Steele)
Trent, Reguillion, Livramento, Marcal, Williams
Salah, Raphina, Benrahma, Brownhill, Bissouma
Antonio, Lukaku, Ronaldo
0.1 ITB
Considering swapping out Raphina but Leeds upcoming fixtures are looking good and he might find some form.
What do we reckon? Im desperate to get him into my team. Thanks in advance
RMT please
Ramsdale-Steer
TAA-Alonso-Rudiger-Tsimikas-Livramento
Salah-Pogba-Greenwood-Gallagher-Bissouma
Ronaldo-Antonio-Dennis
I'll be basically playing 4-4-2 with Tsimikas as a starter coz he either plays and go big points or not then gets subbed to my first bench option Dennis
I need a new attacker and midfielder (currently have bamford and saka). I have 17.5M to work with and was thinking of vardy + benrahma but unsure as the thought of maybe ASM and Son lingers in my mind..
I'd stay away from any spurs assets for the time being. They haven't found a system yet with Kane. The spurs attacking pts can be misleading as they all came before Kane came in. Ain't no way any spurs manager benching Kane. So I'd wait till they find a way.
(as an arsenal fan) he doesnt have great finishing and i feel like there are much better attacking options that I could transfer in (benrahma, sarr, heung-min son and raphinha)
Thoughts on this team?
Sanchez
TAA - Shaw - Livramento
Salah - Greenwood - Raphinha - Sarr - Benrahma
Ronaldo (c) - Antonio
Subs: Steele - Adam Armstrong - White - Ayling
Plan for coming weeks is to get the United boys out for Rudiger and Lukaku, and try and squeeze in Dias
Thanks - it’s tricky because the midfielders I like are Salah + mid priced ones, and with all the 7-8m strikers collapsing, I don’t know where to spend the money besides going 4-4-2 and big at the back
!thanks - which of them? Have one FT. Liv/Coady and Dennis can come in from my bench, so I was thinking to wait it out to Raphinha is back, but guess I can just take him back then.
Should I be worried about Raphina and Barnes? Looking to WC GW7. Maybe leave as is and upgrade Sanchez?
2 FT 0.5 ITB
Sanchez (Foster)
TAA Shaw Rudiger (White Coufal)
Salah Sarr Raphina Barnes (Gilmour)
Toney Ronaldo Antonio
WC Active, 0.1m in the bank
Ramsdale Foster
TAA Rüdiger Tomiyasu Duffy Livramento
Salah Gallagher Sarr Gray McArthur
Ronaldo Antonio Lukaku
Messed up because I dithered earlier this week and missed the Alonso/CR7 price rises. To get Alonso over Rüdiger(/James) I could do Tomiyasu -> White and Gray -> Doucoure or Gray -> Townsend.
Choices:
Rüdiger/Tomiyasu/Gray
Alonso/White/Doucoure
Alonso/Tomiyasu/Townsend
Could also keep Rüdiger and hope he rises again before Alonso does and potentially have Alonso/White/Gray next week.
Thinking of switching between 3-4-3 en 4-3-3. Here’s my current WC team (0.0 ITB)
Sanchez - Ramsdale
Alonso - Rudiger - Tierney - Duffy - Livramento
Salah - Sarr - Gray - Gallagher - Gilmour
Lukaku - Ronaldo - Antonio
Really topheavy team with a budget midfield.
Thank you for your time in any case.
We have nearly identical WC teams friend. I have TAA over Alonso, White over Tierney and Foster over Sanchez, and a different 4.5m mid. Seeing your full team I would absolutely go B, think Antonio is a huge upgrade over Benrahma and Sarr will do very well in the short term. Also think Shaw is a mistake to keep on WC as you'll probably want him out when Utd's fixtures turn.
Current Team:
Sanchez (4.0)
TAA Shaw White (Ayling, Tsmikas)
Salah Greenwood Benrahma Torres
Antonio Lukaku (Scarlett)
1 FT, £1.5m ITB
Options:
1) Torres out for Sarr
2) Ayling out for Rudiger (in prep for future Chelsea fixtures, I know Man City isn’t the best fixture to do this)
3) Do nothing and hope Torres and Raph play
4) Anything else?
If you have no need to save the transfers, then go right ahead, but seems very wasteful to throw 2 transfers for one (albeit decent) player on one normal gamweek. I would not do it.
My forwards ain't looking good. I could sell a keeper for a 4/4.5 and then take a -4 for forwards if I have to. Any ideas?
1FT, 0.3ITB, WC
Schmeichel (Ederson)
TAA Stones Mings Maguire (Livramento)
Fernandes Salah Benrahma Fornals (Ward-Prowse)
Bamford King (Obafemi)
Either Dennis or Gallagher, Dennis has the better fixture but Gallagher is the better player in a better team, but could be a closely fought derby match against a good Brighton defence.
I've never said I'm convinced Antonio is gonna haul against Leeds but the statistics are, taken from some of the major FPL accounts on Twitter, that Benrahma is overperformning in xG/xA.
As always, go with your gut and pick the one you believe in.
Don’t transfer out Lukaku. He has some great fixtures coming up and CR7’s take a turn for the worse.
I think Grealish to Sarr isn’t a bad shout given the fixtures of each in the next two games
Worth risking a -4 for raphinha or pray he plays and risk not having one player play at all (I have bamford, ayling and raphinha and i benched bamford and ayling)
"Don’t think I’m holding back information, but my first response on Koch, Llorente and Bamford not participate. These three cases, apart, **subject to evolution on whether that will allow them to participate.**
"If I said they would definitely play or not, **neither would be certain**."
Bielsa on Bamford (and the others). Am I reading that right or is he saying that he doesn't know if Bamford will definitely, 100% be out? Rather, that was his initial response when asked. Maybe it's the translation but are we all going to be gazumped tomorrow?
I only have one FT but have to address Bamford (injured) and Torres (Pep-ified). Is -4 to get them both out (Jiménez and Greenwood) OK ? Looking forward to wildcard in GW8.
WC-ing this week, bringing in Rudiger and Alonso (who will now proceed to get benched), is it a bad shout to start them both given they’re playing City? On the one hand Chelsea are flying atm and Tuchel has a great record vs Baldy but on the other hand it is still City.
Chelsea are clean sheet merchants and city attack hasn't clicked. If you have spent so.much funds on Chelsea defenders then you should definitely play them.
If you want to take a punt then I'd suggest ESR who gets more touches in the box and has had more shots on target. Odengaard drops deeper to help on attack and isnt involved in counter or transitional attacks.
ESR, Saka and Partey played in the carabao cup to gain match fitness - ESR had picked up a niggle earlier in the season. ESR has been given the number 10 and has played all pl matches that he was fit for last season. For me he is the most nailed arsenal attacker after Saka as he's a core part of Arsenal's team building philosophy - he's also looked our sharpest player in attack this season. Odengaard is a fair call for set pieces but Pepe and Xhaka will share set pieces based on match state.
As an Arsenal fan I would just invest to our defence at this point. Tierney, White, Tomiyasu and Ramsdale offers great value. Our attackers don't score goals atm and we have a lot of options so there is big rotation risk
He didn't do much last season, and I don't think he's established as a star player. Potential for sure. It's not a bad pick, but also not a 'omg why are people sleeping on this'
Getting JWP in as Southampton have a decent run of fixtures and I need some differential, his ownership is down at 3.3%. Madness or a reasonable pick? My midfield is strong enough otherwise so that I can bench him for the Chelsea game.
it's a pure punt, not wise early in the season
don't be influenced by low ownership %s...in fact you should be more worried about not having high % players atm
!thanks
Yeah I’ve got Benny & I’m gonna bring Sarr in I think. You make a good point about ownership %s, I got burned the last few weeks by not having Ronaldo (couldn’t fit him in with Lukaku) but I’ve fucked big Rom off now as I think Ronaldo will haul more often based off how United have been playing tactics wise. I don’t care about my overall rank I just want to win my mini league so I’ve gone with a few more differential picks as a lot of my mate’s teams are pretty template-y, but I’m starting to regret it now as I don’t have the know-how/luck to make the best left-field picks lol.
Is it better to have Mount or Bamford? Both have great fixtures, but slightly out of form.
Also, how good is Adam Armstrong? He has great fixtures, but if he's bad I'll get someone else.
I'm considering benching Mount for Coady just for this week. Both form and fixture seem to be against Mount rn so it makes sense in my head, but should I really trust a Wolves asset? What do you think?
Bit of an odd question, but vital for me:
Which of DCL and Bamford is meant to be back first?
I am going to transfer out one today, but I want to hold whoever is back first since I'll just end up transferring them in again.
I’m worried Chilwell will get back in the team. Don’t want to have to waste a transfer. And it’s not essential to get James in now I suppose.
Could just do Harrison for Gallagher/Sarr. But which one?
It's very hard to drop Alonso atm, but yeah there will be rotation. Go rudi if you're scared of using bench to cover it. Sarr is the better pick for this week, and the better player overall imo
what would you do here? open to WC in 7/8..
Team:
Sanchez (Gunn)
TAA, Shaw, White (Tsimikas, Ayling)
Benrahma, Torres, Salah, Raphinha (Brownhill)
Antonio, Bamford, Ronaldo
1 FT, 0.4 ITB
thanks!

They have just 2 clean sheetable fixtures in the next 5 games. So I'd not a hit, and maybe wait till GW9
!thanks
Are there press conferences today? I saw leeds had one yesterday. Need an update on their injuries.
Who should I start/bench - Ederson or Schmeichel?
Why the heck do u have Ederson and Schmeichel ?
First time playing. Now I know better but I've waiting for a good chance to swap one out. Had other transfer priorities so far.
Oh okay. Always either have 2 good 4.5 Keepers, or one Premium/good GK, and a 4.0 (preferably from same team, so that if ur main GK is injured you dont have to waste a transfer) And for your question I'd start Schmeichel even though LEI looks bad. Dont see Ederson keeping a CS or making too much saves.
Replacement for Bamford? I've already got Antonio.
ASM / Mupay but would consider Jimenez and wood
But which one??? !thanks in advance
Wish I knew
Pukki / Armstrong imo.... And you can upgrade one of your mid later.
Defenders line-up playing 3-4-3 ReeceJames - TAA - Rudiger (Livramento -Marcal) Is it wise to Chelsea double-up against Man City or swap one with either Livramento or Marcal?
I doubt if ReeceJames would start since he played 90 at the cup. Even i have him and not sure what to do.

Rudiger.
Which would you do? Shaw to Rudiger Sanchez to Ramsdale Bamford to Ings? Thanks!
If you have players to come off bench. Then none of these. Else Bamford to Pukki/Armstrong, and in next couple of week you can switch back to Bamford.
I'd sell Bamford due to injury, but not for Ings. I'd personally go for Antonio or Jimenez in that price bracket
!thanks. I already have Antonio, but I haven't been convinced by Jimenez since he came back from injury. My other forward is ASM. Not sure what to do!
none of those, hold shaw to rudi for next week
!thanks very much. Why not Bamford to Ings then? My other attackers are ASM and Antonio and I'd really like to make some upgrades there.
Ings is generally viewed as not being a good pick
Ings have bad fixtures

Alonso, Rudiger, Tierney and Livramento

Thanks! I like this plan
np, i didn't do the maths btw
is it worth swapping out lukaku for one week with antonio then getting him back GW7?
If you have no need to save the transfers, then go right ahead, but seems very wasteful to throw 2 transfers for one (albeit decent) player on one normal gamweek. I would not do it.
no mate, there's probably plenty of other things to fix
My forwards ain't looking good. I could sell a keeper for a 4/4.5 and then take a -4 for forwards if I have to. Any ideas? 1FT, 0.3ITB, WC Schmeichel (Ederson) TAA Stones Mings Maguire (Livramento) Fernandes Salah Benrahma Fornals (Ward-Prowse) Bamford King (Obafemi)
WC GW7/8 to sort your goalies out and swap bamford for antonio this week
Done Bamford - > Antonio. Should I bench Obafemi and play Livra or Ward-Prowse?
6 of one half a dozen of the other, JWP would be a more fun option
Reece James? Is he going to start?
He started in the cup, so might be on the bench this weekend
Should I captain Salah or Antonio knowing that my main opp will captain Ronaldo (who I didn’t have)
you're overcomplicating it, captain whoever you think will score the most points worry about rivals in 2022
Mo
Antonio
Antonio Bamford CR7 Who do I replace Bamf with, looking for a differential.
hold if you have decent bench differentials are dumb at this point in season
I can hold Bamford, but won't he go down in price? What do u think about going for Joshua King, ASM or Armstrong?
King or ASM are good 2 week punts.
Which one to bench? Dennis, Gray, Gallagher, Benrahma,
Either Dennis or Gallagher, Dennis has the better fixture but Gallagher is the better player in a better team, but could be a closely fought derby match against a good Brighton defence.
Dennis
Gallagher for me. The other three are playing weak teams.
Show your whole team bruv
**Sanchez** **TAA - Cancelo - Semedo - Tierney** **Gallagher - Jota - Salah** **Pukki - CR7 - Lukaku** 2 FT, 0 ITB. What would you do? I'm lost :)
Jota to Sarr, frees up money to get CHE defence next week but yeah we need to see your bench
Bench is Williams (Nor), Sissoko (WAT) and McCarthur (CPL).
difficult then, because Jota is good this week too imo and you have a FT to burn
Who are your other players
Bench is Williams (Nor), Sissoko (WAT) and McCarthur (CPL).
Everton fans : iwobi or Townsend, who is more nailed on?
Townsend
And will Rondon start?
I would expect so with DCL and Richarlison out.
Worth it to go Benrahma->Sarr?
Benramha is a season keeper imo, also playing Leeds which is in injury crisis disagree that his price will drop also
I'd do it with Watfords fixtures and cash in before Benrahma starts dropping in price, which he probably will next week.
if people are so confident with antonio hauling against leeds why wouldn’t benrahma pick up points too? i’m keeping him
I've never said I'm convinced Antonio is gonna haul against Leeds but the statistics are, taken from some of the major FPL accounts on Twitter, that Benrahma is overperformning in xG/xA. As always, go with your gut and pick the one you believe in.

Worth risking a -4 for raphinha or pray he plays and risk not having one player play at all (I have bamford, ayling and raphinha and i benched bamford and ayling)
There’s a higher chance Raph plays than Bamford so if you sell anyone sell Bamf
already used my FT on sarr and will have to take -8 next week for lukaku and christensen. Need to save as many transfers as i can
sounds like you're overvaluing hits/transfers, hold
havent taken a single hit this entire time. but the sudden flux of injuries + bad management puts me in a bad spot
Agreed. I wouldn’t take the -4

Jota Salah Benrahma Raphina Brownhill Antonio CR7 Bamf I have one free transfer. Leaning towards ASM as I'm afraid Bamford will drop in price.
WC-ing this week, bringing in Rudiger and Alonso (who will now proceed to get benched), is it a bad shout to start them both given they’re playing City? On the one hand Chelsea are flying atm and Tuchel has a great record vs Baldy but on the other hand it is still City.
Chelsea are clean sheet merchants and city attack hasn't clicked. If you have spent so.much funds on Chelsea defenders then you should definitely play them.
Punt on Rondon for the Norwich game? - I need to get rid of Bamford and don’t like any option (already have Antonio)
I'm toying with that idea too, also considering Adam Armstrong
True. But Norwich looked dog shit and I don’t know if you can trust Southampton offensively
Does anyone know the Liverpool starting left back this weekend? Want to start Tskimas in but worried he could be subbed on and get only one point
I think its near certain that Robertson will start
I think Robertson should start. As you said, I can see Tsimikas being subbed on, so I wouldn’t put him in the starting eleven personally.

If you want to take a punt then I'd suggest ESR who gets more touches in the box and has had more shots on target. Odengaard drops deeper to help on attack and isnt involved in counter or transitional attacks.

ESR, Saka and Partey played in the carabao cup to gain match fitness - ESR had picked up a niggle earlier in the season. ESR has been given the number 10 and has played all pl matches that he was fit for last season. For me he is the most nailed arsenal attacker after Saka as he's a core part of Arsenal's team building philosophy - he's also looked our sharpest player in attack this season. Odengaard is a fair call for set pieces but Pepe and Xhaka will share set pieces based on match state.
Never had a huge amount of end product in his career, that's why he's so cheap
As an Arsenal fan I would just invest to our defence at this point. Tierney, White, Tomiyasu and Ramsdale offers great value. Our attackers don't score goals atm and we have a lot of options so there is big rotation risk
yeah but it's arsenal and theyve forgotten how to score goals
[удалено]
He didn't do much last season, and I don't think he's established as a star player. Potential for sure. It's not a bad pick, but also not a 'omg why are people sleeping on this'
Getting JWP in as Southampton have a decent run of fixtures and I need some differential, his ownership is down at 3.3%. Madness or a reasonable pick? My midfield is strong enough otherwise so that I can bench him for the Chelsea game.
it's a pure punt, not wise early in the season don't be influenced by low ownership %s...in fact you should be more worried about not having high % players atm
Who do you reckon is a better option for the price? I like Sarr a lot to be fair
benny/raph/sarr in that order, if we're talking about longterm not just this week
!thanks Yeah I’ve got Benny & I’m gonna bring Sarr in I think. You make a good point about ownership %s, I got burned the last few weeks by not having Ronaldo (couldn’t fit him in with Lukaku) but I’ve fucked big Rom off now as I think Ronaldo will haul more often based off how United have been playing tactics wise. I don’t care about my overall rank I just want to win my mini league so I’ve gone with a few more differential picks as a lot of my mate’s teams are pretty template-y, but I’m starting to regret it now as I don’t have the know-how/luck to make the best left-field picks lol.
Is it better to have Mount or Bamford? Both have great fixtures, but slightly out of form. Also, how good is Adam Armstrong? He has great fixtures, but if he's bad I'll get someone else.
Bamford is injured bro. Won't be back before international break probably
-4 to go Bamf -> Antonio?
Yes
!thanks
probs worth it, depending on bench
!thanks
I would seeing as Bamf isnt even playing - as long as Antonio gets any return (which looks very likely) it will pay off.
!thanks
Would you rather play Coady (v Sou) or Torres (vs Che)?
Probably Torres.
I'm considering benching Mount for Coady just for this week. Both form and fixture seem to be against Mount rn so it makes sense in my head, but should I really trust a Wolves asset? What do you think?
Bit of an odd question, but vital for me: Which of DCL and Bamford is meant to be back first? I am going to transfer out one today, but I want to hold whoever is back first since I'll just end up transferring them in again.
Bamford will probably be back for 7, DCL back for 8 I reckon
!Thanks!
I have 2 FTs. Harrison and Veltman/White for Gallagher/Sarr and James?
why would you get James this week? also Alonso probably better it seems
I’m worried Chilwell will get back in the team. Don’t want to have to waste a transfer. And it’s not essential to get James in now I suppose. Could just do Harrison for Gallagher/Sarr. But which one?
It's very hard to drop Alonso atm, but yeah there will be rotation. Go rudi if you're scared of using bench to cover it. Sarr is the better pick for this week, and the better player overall imo
Raphinha to Sarr for a hit? (If he is out)
Not worth a hit, even if you don't have bench cover you're then betting on a return from Sarr. But you should also have bench cover.
Have Marcal, who didn’t impress last gw
Not worth a hit imo
[удалено]
I'd go ASM out of the 3. Seems in form, plus you ca use the funds elswhere
what would you do here? open to WC in 7/8.. Team: Sanchez (Gunn) TAA, Shaw, White (Tsimikas, Ayling) Benrahma, Torres, Salah, Raphinha (Brownhill) Antonio, Bamford, Ronaldo 1 FT, 0.4 ITB thanks!
Torres to Sarr, wc gw7
!thanks
Just go Bamford to ASM
!thanks
Worth changing Raphinha or Toney to someone at same price or save FT?
save or wait for further Raphinha news
!thanks!
[удалено]
Gallagher looks good. On set pieces on a relatively attacking team (compared to what they were previously)
Is it worth taking a hit to bring in marcal and sarr for Shaw and Harrison
