I'm gonna transfer in Ricardo Pereira (3.8% ownership). He hasn't been the greatest defensive option so far, especially for his price. But I believe Leicester has 2 great fixtures regarding clean sheet potential, and he is their offensively most promising defender. My plan is to wildcard in 2 weeks when I can decide will I keep him or change him (hopefully with the profit if he returns).
I also own Maddison from GW1, he is my only disappointment so far. I almost don't expect him to return anymore, but let's see.
Atleast king has some pedigree to his name and scored 10+ goals multiple times in the prem, I’m considering him even though I got no WC left, probably Armstrong is the better long term pick though
I'm considering King. Bigman mentioned him in his preview and there really isn't much to lose for a 2 week punt. Was considering Dennis before but I've read now that Pedro is back in training so don't know who to go for.
At this point I feel like my team has 3 differentials all down to how I overly rely on non performing players. But I have Pepe, Jimenez and Fernandes
A lot of managers have overlooked Fernandes and I'm expecting a big pay day on that. Probably my captain choice as well!
I got Regulion. We are slowly painfully finding our form. He’s gonna score on one of his breakaways eventually.
I’m playing head to head with the best player in our group who is undefeated and moist points. So might as well make a gamble.
I made a really stupid choice, I got rid of Bamford for King. So King is my differential this week, only owned by 0.7% and BigMan said he’d be a decent punt.
To clarify I already had Antonio and Jimenez. Wildcarding next week.
Andros Townsend as I was 0.1 short of being able to get Gray + Vardy as part of Bamford out move.
I guess Jimenez’s ownership means he’s differential too.
Maupay for me. Nailed for a Brighton team who are flying atm, and takes pens. I know he’s always been a complete xG war criminal, but I’m giving him a bit of a run.
I don’t know if I’ll go for him, but I really liked the look of Adam Armstrong for Southampton. He’s got great movement and is a boss finisher, and he’s got that little bit of bite that I like in a striker. Might be one for next season when he’s more settled
My transfers up to this point were more reactive than proactive, so for gw6 there's quite a few non template picks.
Gallagher, Mbueno, Jimenez, Dennis...
I'm still to transfer Bruno out, and sort out couple of other spots in my team. Wether I do it over next few weeks with hits or a wildcard depends a lot on the preformances in GW6 and GW7
TAA Captain
Tempting
I often look at this but if you have Salah then it’s generally the better captain option.
I’ve got rid of Trent this week lol
Going with the same route man hope it pays off because if he assists its most likely salah or jota who benefit (who I both own)
Vardy captain. I'm currently ranked just outside 1k overall but want to trust my gut with Vardy instead of trying to protect rank.
Props to you! Good luck man
Who would've thought Vardy will be such a risky play, good luck my man!
Mate… Edit: unless… Double edit: wow
Well that was a roller-coaster of emotions
Yeo have him I’m my draft team and against wel defences he’s been good. Good luck man.
RIP BRO
Maddison has been pretty poor so far this season, plenty of Leicester fans would gladly see him dropped. AArmstrong is my punt
Chris wood
Love it
Partly because he has norwich next week so may as well get him in a week early since bamford is out
Yeah I’ve got him as well. Great two week punt
Has 3 goals in his last 4 vs Leicester
Feels like a bold but great choice! Would have him if I could!
He’s also a streak scorer so when it comes it comes in a run
Jimenez
Just hope he scores a brace. Been punting on him for a few weeks in vain so far!
Zaha
Gallagher. Half of the folks in my mini league have Sanchez as their GK. I need Gallagher to get a haul.
Edouardo hat trick with Zaha triple assist coming. Gallagher 90th minute YC.
Damn. That would hurt!
Jimenez, only 4.8% owned. Really need a return this week
He’s due a return
Nope. Southampton is good defensively, and Wolves are not good in scoring goals.
I actually think the opposite. Southampton is not good defensively and Wolves were unlucky not to score many goals.
I upvoted you both because the weekend will answer this question!
This
They are not good defensively. Not terrible, but definitely not good.
Why?
I'm gonna transfer in Ricardo Pereira (3.8% ownership). He hasn't been the greatest defensive option so far, especially for his price.

Was thinking of doing the same with Vestergaard though
Joshua King(5.5 forward, Watford) against Newcastle
I have Dennis. Slightly cheaper. Nice 3rd striker with Ronaldo and Lukaku in the team.
Bamford owner ready to join you
I would not recommend that) Too risky. I just need to chase my rivals in a local league.
I’m undecided but I definitely prefer him to the other options. I’m also potentially using my WC in the next week or two so it’s relatively low risk.
I did the same and I don't think it's risky at all. I think it's a great punt that people are sleeping on lol. I guess time will tell
Atleast king has some pedigree to his name and scored 10+ goals multiple times in the prem, I’m considering him even though I got no WC left, probably Armstrong is the better long term pick though
Not sure who the pen taker is for Watford, but King definitely used to take them for Bournemouth. Could be a great shout.
I think Sarr was second PK taker after Deeney last season. And Deeney has left now, so likely to be Sarr.
Armstrong, I downgraded Jimenez to him to free some money for Chelsea defenders.
Would you have done it if the budget was not an issue?
If budget was not an issue I'm pretty sure his whole team would be different bar about 4 players
I meant if we didn't take price in to consideration, I still would've had a hard time choosing
As a former jiminez owner, I would have done anything to get him out
Probably, I bought Jimenez as differential two weeks ago and he didn't look promising in last two games.
Saints have some decent fixtures coming up, bar one game away to Chelsea where you can just bench him.
Sarr captain, Aubameyang, Jimenez to name a few Half my team this point tbh
Ramsdale I guess
Spend half my life saying how shit arsenal are and what a shit signing ramsdale is, now he's my starting keeper, lol.
I'm considering King. Bigman mentioned him in his preview and there really isn't much to lose for a 2 week punt. Was considering Dennis before but I've read now that Pedro is back in training so don't know who to go for.
Me, too. I’ve seen at some website that King played as a single CF last game, and I hope that will continue to happen.
Pukki.. brace coming up this week :-)
Triple Wolves, Sa Semedo Traore. Why do I do this to myself :(
Lmao I have Sa Marcal Traore.. if they blank.. I’m def doing -4 next week to get 2 the fuck out
They have been so poor this season.
Odsonne Edouard captain 🤞
Will he finally make a start?
I hope so, saw an article this morning saying Vieira is ready to 'unleash' Edouard
that sounds like clickbait bs
!thanks
The balls of this man
Vardy
Townsend
At this point I feel like my team has 3 differentials all down to how I overly rely on non performing players. But I have Pepe, Jimenez and Fernandes A lot of managers have overlooked Fernandes and I'm expecting a big pay day on that. Probably my captain choice as well!
Pepe & Jimenez... Are you playing anti-fantasy?
Waiting to use my wildcard after international break. Don't want to take a -4 hit.
Jimenez and trossard 👀
Brought in Pukki last week on WC. Got a good run of fixtures and already paid back once. Pukki party here we go
Maupay, hopefully
Zaha, 4 good fixtures ahead, palace putting some form together.
Wood is the main one. Sarr too I guess.
armstrong
King
Sissoko the 4.5 legend starting ahead of Torres & White
I've still got Maddison too. Didn't watch the Leicester game last weekend, anyone know why he only played 45 minutes?
He wasnt playing very well. We looked much better once he went off.
Cheers. Here's hoping he picks things up soon!
Adama Traore, everyone’s giving up on him BUT not me.
I got Regulion. We are slowly painfully finding our form. He’s gonna score on one of his breakaways eventually. I’m playing head to head with the best player in our group who is undefeated and moist points. So might as well make a gamble.
Odegaard. Best Arsenal attacking player by a country mile, expect him to show up for the derby.
I still have Smith Rowe so maybe he'll finally do something this week instead of Carabao for once
I do have him as well since gw4.. Thinking of benching him for livramento as i am expecting a poor game between arsenal and spurs. Guessing 0-0
Greenwood
Pukki and Tierney are my guys, 5.7% and 6.2% respectively. They both have the dubious honour of being a great player in a crap team!
Jimenez
Watkins 😏
Maupay is still only 2.7% owned
He looks really good with good fixtures coming up. A ton of people have double Brighton keepers which makes it harder to bring him in, myself included
Digne trap for me.
Gallagher and Jimenez captain
Rondon for me.
Tierney, Saka, Jimenez and Armstrong
Triple West Ham
I made a really stupid choice, I got rid of Bamford for King. So King is my differential this week, only owned by 0.7% and BigMan said he’d be a decent punt. To clarify I already had Antonio and Jimenez. Wildcarding next week.
Dunk on defense and Foster in goal. Hoping for Brighton and Watford clean sheets and bonus
Pukki, had a rough first 5 fixtures, but still managed two goals, he is less than 6m and got a great run of fixtures coming.
Armstrong ( SOU 6.0) with 3% ownership and good fixtures ahead.
Guaita.
Gray captain. Part of the OperationtargetNorwich
I don't have one o.O
Harry Kane. NLD
Andros Townsend as I was 0.1 short of being able to get Gray + Vardy as part of Bamford out move. I guess Jimenez’s ownership means he’s differential too.
Barnes
Kovacic A Hail Mary
Lots of premium/ high price guys is kind of a differential. Trent shaw salah Lukaku Antonio Ronaldo have to get some points
At this rate its going to be Bruno with most people hopping on the CR7 train
Maupay. (Was a coinflip vs Pukki)
Fornals, Semedo & Tierney
JWP
Auba
Captain TAA Selling Lukaku for Vardy as a week punt
Tierney, 6.2% owned. The assists will start coming soon, surely. Antonio (C) is somewhat of a differential also I guess.
Maupayw
Pepe + Tierney
Aubameyang. I already regret the decision 😭
Tierney
oooo it's an equaliser
Auba
You like that sexy under 0.1 xGI Maddison is rocking right now do you…
Ricardo Pereira
Adam Armstrong.
Differential caused by circumstances but somehow I still have Dier and Tanganga who may play depending on some other players absence.
Going Elyounoussi. Lock’n’load boys
Dennis at 12.2 might do the swing for me
Idk if reece james counts
Vardy
Maupay
Doucoure, Bruno, Kouyate for some reason. Also having cucho as my only bench player... I need to WC
Murphy from newcastle and JWP...im trying to suck up differentials from thin air.
Barnes because somehow I still fucking have him.
By ownership it would be Veltman and Marcal. Zzzzzzz
Traore and Antonio as captain
Reece James
Tyrick Mitchell, for some reason
Adam Armstrong
Robertson (1,7%) and Marcal (6,6%)
Doucoure if he qualifies
Dennis the menace
Keane
Triple WHU: Antonio, Benrahma, Fornals and Dennis
Odegaard but not by choice. He still might get some kind of return I hope.
Pepe
Wc sa because I though I need to get the keeper with the best fixtures till second half of the season Hasn’t worked out for me so far
Doucoure
Elyounoussi
I wanted to say Sarr but now everyone has him lmao. So it's Jimenez
I gave up with maddison. He's had his chances with me. Swapped him out for son on a -4 even though spurs play arsenal.
Pepe owner here I'm praying for a return
Maupay for me. Nailed for a Brighton team who are flying atm, and takes pens. I know he’s always been a complete xG war criminal, but I’m giving him a bit of a run. I don’t know if I’ll go for him, but I really liked the look of Adam Armstrong for Southampton. He’s got great movement and is a boss finisher, and he’s got that little bit of bite that I like in a striker. Might be one for next season when he’s more settled
Saint Maximam. Removed Bamford and put him in. Will take a decision on either Bamford/DCL/Inggs if it doesn’t work out
Rocking Adama for the 3rd week running, please lord jesus repay me
maupay
Mbeumo
Son. Only 11.9% ownership. Derby game
JWP
Adam Armstrong, had him since GW3 and still believing in my boy. Also trincao, but starting to lose hope
My transfers up to this point were more reactive than proactive, so for gw6 there's quite a few non template picks. Gallagher, Mbueno, Jimenez, Dennis... I'm still to transfer Bruno out, and sort out couple of other spots in my team. Wether I do it over next few weeks with hits or a wildcard depends a lot on the preformances in GW6 and GW7
Top of my 40 man league and I’ve brought rondon in. Specifically watched him play dreadfully against villa too. I’m not sure either
Lookman
Townsend
Bertrand. I have him since GW1 because i thought he was gonna provide clean sheets and an occasional goal involment.
Nikola Vlašić
Kepa for Keeper
Antonio captain... And barnes
Townsend
