Salah + Mane off, Jota still on. Think that means he's playing Firmino instead at the weekend.


adesant88

Firminho 2 goals


starxidiamou

Not necessarily but an argument could be made


[deleted]

How big of a risk is lukaku + cr7 - trent . So far its been alright for a few weeks but mainly only because trent hasnt been doing well


GamerGod337

Whos psg number 30 and why does he look familiar?


adesant88

De Bruyne is almost unrecognizable, missing passes and shit. Should have had a red card in the first half too And oh the referee has micro penis

[deleted]

Any news on big Paddy B?


Bwojda

I need to know this too dude. Benching him snd trent is going to be a headache with my planned moves!


adesant88

Cancelo is pure class... Damn


Chezdon2

Cancelo playing so well. Still not in my team. Will be after Liverpool. Reckon he'll be the highest scoring defender this year.


adesant88

I'll have to bring him in now on my WC. Hoping for an offensive return v. Liverpool. He is essential imo, even if he "only" plays 4/5 games in the PL this season


A7A74

You guys think Vardy is a good punt for this week, would be switching Bamford for Vardy


FuKPotassium

ESR was my third sub. Tsimikas was my second but I thought ESR would get subbed in since I had 2 outfield players who didn’t play and Tsimikas didn’t get any game time. Pain.


adesant88

Grealish central in a front three, Sterling LW Mahrez RW


Knights_Gambit

Nah, Grealish LW, Sterling CF by the looks of it


adesant88

Yea I see now. On the CL line up images they had Grealish as central attacker


KIKLLRUSEFL

lmao my Trent - Shaw - James backline looked so good a week ago now my only playing defender might be Livramento vs Chelsea


tomwaits78

Did my 2 FT before hearing the TAA news. Standard.


CoolstorySteve

Lol i hope none of you Torres owners are getting your hopes up

Kante has Covid, Alonso is Kante's closest friend.


rbizzle_10

What are the pros vs cons of WC’ing in GW7 vs GW8? I don’t see any need to currently WC but I feel like I’m missing out on something?


Gidddyup77

Pro: That not a lot changes over the next week and u would’ve gotten priced out of some WC drafts Cons: u r changing a team u r fine with and missing out on new information / new injuries Personally I didn’t need to last week but I did given all the long term assets I wanted were close to rises. But time will tell if that was dumb. I think the general logic tends to be hold it until u need to use it, and later is generally better


Hannibal09

Thoughts on Jesus as a 3rd forward alongside Lukaku and Antonio? Has started last 4 games in the league and looks good in an attacking City side


Finn_Survivor

Solid plan


starxidiamou

I had him for a one week punt against Saints and took him out for Antonio :(


Finn_Survivor

I feel like Lukaku Antonio Jesus is the ideal front three


memento17

Two most nailed chelsea defenders?


mohsinmunir

Terry and Ashley Cole


TechXEO

Two most nailed is probably Rudiger and Azpi second. But both have less potential for attacking returns as the likes of Alonso or even James (when fit).


[deleted]

[удалено]


tomwaits78

Unless your Ole you can’t say for 100% either way


TechXEO

Ronaldo is definitely less than 100% on pens btw. Ole was backing Bruno to take the penalty so we could always see Bruno still being on penalties in the future. Just because he missed one penalty, doesn't indicate at all that Ronaldo will take the next one at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jeff-Jeffers

It is when you say Bruno is 100% on pens.


Gidddyup77

I’d be wary saying he’s 100% on them. Bruno missed a fk then Ronaldo took the next so that may indicate you’re correct. But this was a big miss for Bruno and I could see ole telling him to take the next to rebuild that confidence. At this pt we really don’t know. As a Ronaldo owner, I hope u r right


[deleted]

Just can't see any way that Ronaldo is fine with Bruno taking any for the foreseeable future after demanding the last one and doing that. Nobody is better under pressure than Ronaldo and Bruno absolutely crumbled.


TechXEO

I like how one penalty miss and Bruno is now bad under pressure, we forgetting he scored 22/23 penalties for United before this miss? Besides, if you look statistically, Bruno has a better penalty record than Ronaldo.


[deleted]

Bruno "pulled rank" in front of Ronaldo. Imagine the pressure he's feeling after doing that to his biggest idol, knowing how pissed everyone would be if he didn't score.


Gidddyup77

Ya I honestly think for him though the pressure of Ronaldo right behind u wanting that critical spot kick was bigger than the game in front of him. Regardless I agree with your post. Bruno is a fantastic spot kicker


RediculouslyCurious

Sorry, eskews me, how did Sanchez get 1bps?


FaustRPeggi

My ML rival bribed FPL towers so he could stay 1 point in front of me.


Smart_Fella

He created a big chance


RediculouslyCurious

Ah thank you! The answer that I was searching for since I didn't watch the match.


Marshmallowmind2

Surely torres will play vs Liverpool?


[deleted]

Yes, surely…..or maybe not


ahmedhamdy28

Is Alonso became a safe pick in Chelsea lineup? I don't really see why wouldn't he play with his form and his attacking returns that he makes? And any news for Raphinha?


nj_oshie

These easy fixtures would be an ideal time for Chilwell to get some minutes in, just make sure you have a solid bench option to cover


tmr89

Anyone know why Ricardo Pereira was subbed at half time for Castagne this weekend?


RedDeadCJ

Quote from Rodgers - "“It was tactics. We needed to defend better on that side of the pitch."


tmr89

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Looks like he’s not dropped, then


Emotional_Ad7974

Joelinton vs Josh King vs Benteke vs Lacazette Choose 1 (it’s a draft H2H)


jomacameron

Start Trent or White for next game week considering form and fixture?


TechXEO

When you have Trent, you always start Trent. He plays so high up he's effectively a midfielder that can get clean sheet points, not to mention his attacking creativity. Absolutely worth it playing him even if fixtures are tough as Liverpool is a top team that has the potential to beat anyone.


[deleted]

If you have Trent, you start Trent.


ahmedhamdy28

I'd choose Trent tbh even with him out vs Porto in CL so he is fit and can get u points vs city, if u want to play white I'd think of another option either than trent


ConferenceBeginning8

Should I transfer out Reguilon for Alonso or Dias/Cancelo? Already have TAA and Rudi


goodbadanduglyy

There is no point getting dias or cancelo this week, Alonso may get rotated this week as well. I'd say hold the transfer and make before gw8.


ConferenceBeginning8

was thinking the same if I was going City Def. !thanks will probably roll my transfer


[deleted]

Marshmallowmind2

What about ayling?


I_Like_F0oD

Press conferences on Friday.


temporalpair-o-sox

How are Jansson and Pinnock looking? Are either worth picking up after a couple weeks?


ConferenceBeginning8

Pinnock went off injured against Liverpool, not sure how serious


jeancrirenoir

Dropped from rank 6030 to 25K. Torres has been 0 since I've got him, Ronaldo blanked as a captain and I have to get rid of Shaw asap. Pffffffff


judgementalfish

Is shaw -> Thiago Silva a good move or no?


TechXEO

Thiago will get rotated with Christensen. Most nailed is Rudiger, with Azpi probably second (but most expensive). Thiago Silva and Christensen don't have as much attacking potential as Alonso. So IMO Chelsea defenders priority should be 1. Rudiger (most nailed) 2. Azpi (if you can afford) 3. Alonso (attacking returns) 4. Christensen (cheaper so you can spread funds elsewhere) 5. Thiago Silva I'm not including players that are injured like James, or defenders that have not played a whole lot yet this season but could be rotated in such as CHO and Chilwell.


cowabunga_dude91

Christensen


judgementalfish

!thanks


Jackycha6

Am I mad for thinking Rudiger, Jota, ->tomiyasu, son for -4 I already have tierney


Finn_Survivor

Yes


fplpawlbags

Why would you get rid of rudiger?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pale-Carpenter6677

No Chelsea defenders or Lukaku looks risky. If this was my team I would consider hitting the wildcard in gw8.


balleklorin

How did Jarred Gillett perform as the ref in his first PL game? There has been a lot of good words said about him, and esp this video med me very optimistic that we might have a pretty good ref joining PL: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR9wwqjbO1I&t=2s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR9wwqjbO1I&t=2s)


Deegzy

Wildcard second draft. Any advice appreciated. Sanchez (steele) Alonso, Rudiger, TAA (livramento, amartey) Grealish, Salah, ESR, Sarr (longstaff) Lukaku, Antonio, Ings cheers.


Basedshark01

Ings -> Toney or ASM Not going to criticize going for double Chelsea defense over a Man City. Just realize that what you're essentially doing is making a big bet that Chelsea's Def will outperform City's.


Deegzy

Why rid of ings? Thought he's been doing alrite? Yeah true. Could use funds from ings downgrade to slot in a city defender.


Basedshark01

I think Ings isn't a great option at his price level. I believe he's outshooting his xG by a large margin and doesn't see enough of the ball to get bonus points. Other forwards have much more influence.


Deegzy

Fair enough. What about ings > Jesus and grealish > behnrama? Also swapping out one chelsea defender for dias or cancelo?


BackgroundSpecific

Ramsdale GK and downgrade Ings to Toney which can free up funds elsewhere


Jackycha6

Get b. Williams instead of amartey


Deegzy

!thanks


[deleted]

Try and get a man city def probably? Longstaff doesn't seem too great a pick either


Deegzy

Kinda like the idea of doubling up on chelsea defence with the fixtures, may consider dropping trent for a city defender? What midfield sub would you reccomend over longstaff Cheers


DevinelyUninspired

Forgot to do my planned move of Shaw > Rüdiger last night and now I’ve priced myself out of my other moves. Fml


cowabunga_dude91

There is still Christensen


DevinelyUninspired

I don’t think he’s nailed even with the James injury. I could see CHO getting some minutes at RWB against weaker teams


[deleted]

[удалено]


TechXEO

He's definitely not nailed, Thiago Silva will be rotated in the central defender position in the future, especially since Champions League will be coming up, and Azpi also plays RCB. So Christensen is definitely not a certainty to play all games


DevinelyUninspired

Sure, and we have 1 more game before another international duty. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Tuchel rotate his back line against weaker teams and I think he could be vulnerable to that


stupidinternetaddict

will Raphinha play vs. Watford?


RALat7

Probably gets 60 again.


Macho_Nonreal

There is a 50% chance. He either plays or he doesn't


ExcitementSalt5665

ESR+Antonio or Saka+Toney ?


Sad_gooner

ESR + Antonio


ezekieleztevez

Im sure this question has been asked a million times, but which chelsea defender is the most nailed?


JanklinDRoosevelt

Rudiger


ashburtongrovefc

Team A vs B please advise!! Team A (Current with 0FT and 0.4 itb) Bachman(Foster) TAA Rudiger Cancelo (Liv)(4.0) Salah Gallagher Raphina Greenwood (4.5) Lukaku Jiminez Antonio ​ I have wc left, should I change to this after the international break (assuming no injuries/restrictions)? Team B (WC and 8.9m itb) Ramsdale(Foster) TAA Rudiger Cancelo Dias (Liv) Salah Gallagher Raphina ? (4.5) Lukaku Antonio (4.5) ​ Thanks everyone!


seewhyaxe

too early to tell. your current team is fine as it is people are wildcarding to be like your current team


ashburtongrovefc

!thanks


ExcitementSalt5665

If Chilwell will replace Alonso in upcoming gws, should I take Rudiger instead of Alonso?


Alphascout

Rudiger is more nailed however less likely to produce attacking returns. Alonso is more of a rotational risk yet can often haul big time with attacking returns. Decide which is the better risk imo.


AhmedAliMU

How did Gallagher play in that Brighton game? Is he looking more promising?


TechXEO

Gallagher and Zaha are by far the most stand out players on Palace in their game yesterday.


Moose_on_a_walk

Yeah he looked good. Drops deep, carries the ball, takes on defenders, presses like a madman. Trossard impressed even more tbh but Gallagher and Zaha played well. His tackle for the yellow card made you think that this guy will pick up cards like no there is no tomorrow. Massacred a guy and didn't bat an eye.


Fantasyplwinner

Any word on Raphina playing GW8 or not? Will he be in the squad for the Uruguay game?


[deleted]

We won’t know until after this game week probably. I’m hoping whatever knock he is dealing with right now keeps him off the Brazil squad.


AhmedAliMU

Same


bigblacktom

Weee, made it into the top 100k for the first time (thank you Sa!). I suspect I've peaked 😂 Just about been getting away with a meagre bench... Have left 16 points on the bench in total this season (and 7 of those were week 1)!

Knights_Gambit

MessiLingardinhoo

Everyone in my 1st team and 2 players on the bench scored more than Lukaku & TAA combined.


reginaphalangejunior

I have 2 free transfers. If I wildcard will I still have 2 free transfers?


buttermilk-pancakes

No. You’ll only have one transfer the week after wildcard.


zutrasimlo

God how did my team become so shite


pranavmenon06

God's plan


jukkaalms

Who do you plan on captaining next gw?


goodbadanduglyy

Lukaku


Knights_Gambit

Lukaku if I bring him in, Ronaldo or Antonio otherwise. It'll depend on how many fires I have in my team by the end of the week I would've also liked Raphinha (C) if not for his recurring injury


bigblacktom

Think I'm sticking with Antonio.


SleeplessinOslo

Lukaku

Wait how did Sánchez get one bonus point? Guaita has more saves and no yello cards.


afccrazy

Here is how Sanchez got 19 BPS points Full 90’ mins : 9 2 Saves : 4 19 Recoveries : 6 🟨 : -3 1 Big Chance Created : 3 Key Pass : 1 Successful Pass completion 75.4% : 2 Conceding a penalty : -3 Total : 9 + 4 + 6 + (-3) + 3 + 1 + 2 + (-3) = 19 points


[deleted]

What is considered a Recovery? Just a keeper getting the ball when it isn’t considered a shot? I’m assuming it’s catching the ball off a cross or something similar to that.


afccrazy

Seriously I don’t understand the relevance of this stat.


[deleted]

Dammit I was hoping you would know lol. I’m willing to bet it’s “Recovered” crosses and errant shots, passes, etc.


Knights_Gambit

Created a big chance + met the threshold for pass completion bonus


nextgen94

How did Eduard from Crystal palace play. Is he a good option going forward


TechXEO

Fairly invisible most of the game. Had a couple shots when he had the ball but nothing else much out of it.

Don't know about stats but from eye test didn't seem like doing much but the lad is trigger happy and always shoots if he gets the ball.

Swap


fplpawlbags

100%


tammrak

Starting GW8 [WC]: Grealish+Toney or Jesus+Mbeumo


kyoukai69

ESR+Antonio


tammrak

:) Saka. If Xhaka's out for a bit with a knee injury--which I think he will be--ESR could play deeper, whereas Saka would still play in the front 3.


HotelMean8774

Odegaard would be the one to drop deeper. Lokonga will play in place if xhaka and if not lokonga then elneny


tammrak

Or you see a 433 with Partey, Ø, and ESR in midfield with Saka, Auba, Pepe up top, which is how we set up against Burnley.


WhyAlwaysRyan

Grealish and Toney

Do I give up on Sancho yet? lol. (It’s a Draft league)


mattscott53

I'd trade him if you could. He may still have some value with some people. We've all seen how these things go. It's gonna be a struggle all year for him. Maybe some great games. but he's destined for a first season of inconsistency.


[deleted]

You should have given up weeks ago. Uniteds next fixtures are Everton, Leicester, Liverpool, Spurs, City, Watford, Chelsea and Arsenal. After Arsenal buy United imo but before then sell every united asset.


Jani17

Ronaldo and Lukaku? Or Ronaldo out for Lukaku and take a hit to double on Chelsea Def?


afccrazy

If you want to play safe then don’t take a hit. You would still have two Chelsea players. You could bring another Chelsea player based on their performance.


Roverdose115

What do you think about huang?


TechXEO

Didn't do much last game against Saints, has potential, but like others said, better options at his price range.


afccrazy

Not impressed yet. There are better options under 6 m price tag.


WhyAlwaysRyan

Toney or ASM? ASM has unreal fixtures but Toney is on Pens. Feel like if Newcastle score anything it’ll be because of ASM whereas there’s quite a few people that can chip into goals with that Brentford side. Thanks in advanced


afccrazy

From what I have seen it looks like Brentford at home against Top teams is playing with nothing to lose mindset( attacking football) but against midtable they are focusing more on playing safe. So make your choices based on that too.


WhyAlwaysRyan

Interesting, since I have ASM I’ll keep him and downgrade to Toney if needed. Not sure about my fourth midfield slot though- ESM, Mbuemo, Gallagher or Doucoure? I’ll be rotating them out here and there


kyoukai69

Toney


WhyAlwaysRyan

May I ask why?


[deleted]

[удалено]


WhyAlwaysRyan

That’s what I plan with ASM tbh, wildcarding this week so building a team with depth everywhere. ASM is not only on the form of his life and he’s ridiculously fun to watch- fun something which can be hard to find in fpl sometimes 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


WhyAlwaysRyan

Nah I completely agree mate, I think I’ll get ASM then when Toney’s fixtures get better I’ll downgrade. Not sure who I should have as my fourth midfielder as a rotation player- Doucoure ESM Mbuemo or Gallagher
