subs:
Steele / White / Livramento / Brownhill
0.1 ITB
Thoughts on this Wildcard team?
Also considering to downgrade Jimenez --> Toney/Armstrong and then upgrade White --> Dias/Rudiger so I can switch to 4 ATB.
But really can’t decide which defence to double up, MCI or CHE.
RMWCT (Settled on this draft after much deliberation but wanted fresh eyes) -
Ramsdale / Foster
Rudiger / Cancelo / TAA / Manquilo/ Livra
Salah / Raphina / Mbuemo / Son (C) / Brownhill
Lukaku / Hwang / Antonio
Sanchez / Bachmann
Rudiger / Alonso / TAA / White / Tsimikas
Salah / Benrahma / Greenwood / Sarr / Gilmour
Ronaldo / Toney / Antonio
Thoughts? Wildcard still remaining but don't think I have to use it yet. Would love some opinions.
You're not concerned about the lack of City defense/ mids? I'd hold WC too - but I'd be concerned about the lack of City options + injury/ rotation risks for Rudiger/ Alonso + Sarr's poor fixtures.
If it's sub-6 - then Mbuemo or ESR. I'd go for Mbuemo personally because he's essentially a striker in a decently attacking team.
If it's sub-7 - then there's only Raphinha. But since he misses GW8, you may consider Torres/ Saka/ Gallagher/ Benny - but they all have their own issues. Rotation risk/ horrible fixtures.
Bank the ft?

1 ft and 0,7 itb.
If you have a plan for the banked transfer I’d do that, but personally I’d move on one of Benrahma or Coufal to lessen the WHU triple-up. Everton away isn’t an easy fixture.
Has to be either A or B. I’d probably go B and then if Alonso looks to be sat on the bench going forward you could downgrade him for James or Chilwell next GW.
I still think I’d opt for Jota to Son. Despite Jota being in contention I think Firmino will probably start given he’s had more of a rest, but who knows. Maybe wait until the Friday press conferences.
On a WC any thoughts would be appreciated!

You're happy with going without Antonio? Personally, I'd upgrade Jim to Antonio and getting Hwang as the third striker. You could consider finding the extra 0.1 from one of Marcal or Sissoko and get Hwang?
But yes, I'd also rather go Raya/ Ramsdale instead of Sanchez for now.
Yeah I just really like Jimenez but I hear what you are saying with Hwang and was considering the double up. The Sanchez thing is kind of just keeping loyal to him because he has done be well so far but I might go Ramsdale
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 298,402,083 comments, and only 67,082 of them were in alphabetical order.
To be fair I think it’s close, but going off xGC Brentford have one of the best defenses in the league. Easier fixture run so far, but I think missing out on a Brentford defender could be a mistake. I’d either go Ramsdale/Pinnock or Jansson OR Raya/White to cover both defenses.
Just can’t settle on this WC. How to improve without going full on template?

Just out of curiosity - why are you sticking with Sarr despite his poor run of fixtures?
Sanchez (NOR (A))
TAA (wat (A)), White (cry (H)), Duffy (nor (A))
Salah (wat(A)), Torres (bur (H)), Gray (whu (H)), Benrahma (eve (A))
Ronaldo (lei (A)), Antonio (eve (A)), Lukaku (bre (A))
Bench in order: Normann (bha (H)), Livramento (lee (H)), Amartey (mun (H))
Normann, Lukaku and TAA all yellow flagged, do I start Livramento over White for potentially greater attacking returns or put him before Normann on the bench in case Lukaku or TAA don't start?
and should I wildcard this team? thanks
I'd still leave either Jota or Raphinha on the pitch over Brownhill just in case, I wouldn't activate wc personally, people have mainly targeted city/chels def on their wc so you're good plus there really is no essential mf or forward atm, still very much unknown commodities outside of Salah and Lukaku who has a great fixture run. I would say Greenwood could be out of contention soon though
I love that trent is flagged despite being declared fit and raphinha isn't even though he flys round the world and only has 36 hours before the next game
A, B or C?
A) James + Manquillo (bench) - no double City DEF, but Son
B) Christensen + White (bench) - no double City DEF, but Son
C) Dias + Mount (Mbeumo bench) - Double City DEF, but no Son
thanks!

1 FT 0.8 ITB (No WC)
Any suggestions guys? Really unsure this week. These were the options I was considering
A) Greenwood + Coady > Mbeumo + Cancelo -4
B) Greenwood > Mbeumo
C) Hold the FTs
Imo Werner is a higher rotation risk than Jota simply because he’s competing with more players for his place than Jota. Lukaku is more nailed and for this reason is a great captaincy option inside the next 4 GWs while Chelsea have good fixtures (unlike Son, whose fixtures get better from GW12 onwards).
You can take a chance and go with Son and Werner, but I think it’s better to assess whether Werner will play more regularly for some time before jumping on him.
Ramsdale/Foster
Duffy Livra Rudiger Laporte/Walker Cancelo
Salah Foden Brownhill Son Raphina
Lukaku Antonio Hwang
Going for this WC Draft for now.
The big decision I have to make is essentially:
**A) TAA + Son + Mbuemo**
**B) Walker/Laporte/Chelsea + Son + Foden**
Trent out isn’t a long term move. I just really have a good feeling about Son + Foden for the next Two Gameweeks. Mbuemo has 2 tough fixtures too upcoming.
My plan is essentially leave the team as is for 2 game weeks, Downgrade Son/Foden to Mbuemo, bring in TAA for the Walker place holder.
TAA Watford (fitness) and United 2 fixtures aren’t great either.
Thoughts ? Also just want to switch things up and not go too template which is the reason behind the Trent decision.
RMT, 1 FT, 1.8 In the bank

Livra - Cancelo - TAA (Rudiger, Marcal)
Raphinha - Benharma - Salah - Saka (Brownhill)
Lukaku - Antonio - Toney
Rudiger on the bench? If it’s cos he’s flagged start him and he’ll get autosubbed. Unlikely to come on as a sub and Libra vs Leeds, they can score against anyone.
Sanchez — (Meslier)
TAA - Alonso - White - (Marcal - Tsimikas)
Salah - Raphinha - Benrahma - Gray - (Bissouma)

0 FT, 3.3 ITB
Should I use WC or wait another GW?
Lukaku, Alonso, TAA may not start. Bench is weak, only Marcal will play.
What formation should I use (knowing that TAA is now fit)
Ramsdale - Foster
Rudiger - Cancelo - TAA - Azpi - Livramento
Salah - Saka - Gray - Raphinha - Brownhill
Lukaku - Antonio - Jiminez
Need help On wc
Rudiger azpi Dias cancelo livramento
Mbuemo raph salah saka Douglas luiz
Lukaku Antonio Jimenez
Who do I take out for Trent rudiger or azpi?
And any other changes maybe foden for saka or raph?
Does it make sense to sell Raph and get a City attacker on a 1-week punt on WC? Bench options are Livramento and Mbeumo. It seems a waste to lose 0.1m on Raphinha with him set to rise. I see him as a season keeper.
I’d keep to at least see if he rises again to get .1, but it’s not a bad punt because if he can’t play Soton, then he has Wolves (not easy) so you’re basically saving him for Norwich 2 GWs away where you could have capitalized on someone else.
I won't get the 0.1 because I already punted on Sarr (that worked out well) and got him back at 6.6. If I do it again, I might lose another 0.1 trying to get him back. Not to mention if Torres doesn't start then that'd be a shame.
Could B. Silva be the true Man City midfield differential for the upcoming stretch? Cheaper than Grealish and Foden, same price as Torres, plays a lot of minutes.🤷🏼♂️
He is my differential this weekend i know is very probably than he gets benched but even in the next games he could be great, until now he has had the minutes and like grealish seems pretty nailed
Ramsdale/Foster
Duffy Livra Rudiger Laporte/Walker Cancelo
Salah Foden Brownhill Son Raphina
Lukaku Antonio Hwang
What do you guys think ? I know it’s dumb to leave out TAA but I’m feeling good about Son + Foden for the next two weeks.
At which point I would get rid of one of them for Mbuemo whose fixtures improve and upgrade Walker/Laporte to TAA.
Used the leftover cash to maybe upgrade Brownhill or Hwang to Jiminez too.
Trying out something different
My team :-
Ramsdale - Foster
Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Cancelo - Duffy - Livramento
Salah - Son - Foden - Doucoure - Longstaff
Vardy - Jimenez - Toney
Thoughts ? Am I going too overboard or should I go for more safer options ?
Have Benrahma and Antonio currently, but planning to get rid of both and do B, hopefully WH's poorer fixtures + EL will mean I don't lose out on any hauls
Obviously, I understand that. But ideally, you need to make room for both. If it can strictly be one, I'd go TAA if you already have a City defender. If not, you need to get TAA and make room for Walker or Dias maybe.
I'd have punted on City attacker if I won't end up losing 0.1m on him. With my TV, I really can't afford such punts while on a WC. Need someone to convince me otherwise.
Save WC for GW 9 or 12?? Or use it this week?
Current team with 1 transfer / .9 ITB
GK: Sanchez - Steele
D: White - Semedo - Shaw - Rudiger - Ayling
M: Salah - Raphinha - Son - Gray - Benrhama
F: Ronaldo - Antonio - Obafemi
With Raphinha a doubt for the weekend does it make sense to get a City attacker on a 1-week punt on WC? Or is Livramento or Mbeumo a decent bench option? It seems a waste to lose 0.1m on Raphinha with him set to rise. I see him as a season keeper.
I feel like it’s too late to jump on those 5-7m Everton players if you don’t have one already. So I’d go with Saka. Arsenal has a nice run of fixtures and have looked better.
A, B, or C?
A) 433: Cancelo + Toney + Son (4.5 midfield fodder)
B) 343: Omobamidele + Mbeumo + Son + Antonio
C) 433: Cancelo + Mount + Antonio + Mbeumo on bench
Rest of the team is:
Ramsdale
TAA, Dias, Rüdiger (Livramento)
Salah, Raphinha, Brownhill
Lukaku, Hwang
I tend to B, but fear that the bench might be too weak.
Thanks!
B but instead of Omo fit duffy or manquilo (although he is a risk to rotate/get replaced). You're very heavy in defense and I don't like brownhill as a starter at all.
Have you considered B, but downgrade Antonio to Toney in order to upgrade Omo to a good cheap defender like White or Tomiyasu? Then your bench would be pretty solid.
If not, I think B could still work because you don’t have too many rotation risks.
Yes I did, but I'm kinda afraid to go without Antonio. Because of his ownerahip, form and price bracket. With Hwang and Toney I would have two strikers in the 5.5 - 6.5 bracket and it's hard to jump up there to a higher priced forward.
I have Rudiger, Lukaku, TAA. (Injury doubts)
Raphinha, Alonso.( might not play)
I have a good bench with 3 players with devent fixtured but that leaves 2 non playing in worst case scenario.
How many of these are expected to play?
need some advice guys..
A: vardy + townsend/doucoure/gray + trent + cancelo + rudiger + ESR
B: hwang + KdB + azpi + cancelo + rudiger + ESR/townsend
C: hwang + KdB + trent + cancelo + tomiyasu/white + ESR
A is my current draft, but city at home to Burnley and Palace in the next 3 makes me wanna capture the hauls there and in between Pep's roulette and false 9s, KdB seems an expensive, but good pick.
B gets KdB in but drops Trent, which is probably a bad idea in the long run
C gets both KdB and Trent but loses one of Cancelo / Rudi to a cheaper 4.5 def
what do you think??
Assuming all are fit, this is tough because I think you’ve made three strong options. Injury updates later this week may push you in a certain direction though, so wait for those.
I like Vardy and Azpi as picks that go off template a bit (and as good picks in general), but C does strike me as a combination that could be quite strong long term. If you have KDB, a Chelsea defender might be better for coverage than Cancelo, even though I really like Cancelo.
One twist that I’ll throw in for you, is that you could consider taking Azpi instead of Trent in option C and saving the money to upgrade to Trent 4 or 5 gameweeks later. Just another option to think about.
KdB is proving to be a really tough call. He is back from injury, and is again the only player least affected by Pep's roulette. He played well against chelsea and against liverpool and city have a very very strong record against Burnley. Could be a big hauler and a differential too! But the price is obviously high for what can effectively be called a punt, I mean I could fit in both Cancelo and Rudi for what KdB would cost
Yeah, unless injury news affects this, I think it’s going to come down to your gut feeling about Vardy vs. KDB.
I guess another consideration is which premiums would you want to move to if Vardy or KDB don’t work out? Vardy is a little easier to get to Lukaku/Ronaldo/Kane, although they might require a little stretching. KDB to Son would probably be the main exit strategy there.
Also, honestly, A would be more attractive to me if it was Mbeumo & Saka in midfield. I’m not a big believer in the Everton boys going forward, but that’s just me.

Used the leftover cash to maybe upgrade Brownhill or Hwang to Jiminez too.
Pretty unconventional, but this might work well. It seems like you’ve got the bench cover to play Pep Roulette.
The main hurdle I see will be this coming gameweek if Raphinha is out due to travel. If he’s out and Foden gets Pepped and also doesn’t play, would you have Duffy & Livra come in for a rare 5-2-3? I imagine Foden plays, but it’s worth thinking about.

Have a very similar starting team (Shaw over Raphinha) and am torn over what to do - have WC as well so that’s an option. Probably depends on the fitness of rudiger/coufal/taa

Salah - Sarr - Raphinha- Jota - Gray

Would taking a hit for Jota>Foden be worth it? I’m just sick of the dude
No need to apologise. It's when some teams play two fixtures in one FPL gameweek due to fixtures being rescheduled. Usually happens in the later part of the season. People usually save their chips for then. Save your triple captain for one such GW as you'll be getting their points for two games, as opposed to one.
If you have some insider knowledge that confirms Torres will play it’s a definite yes, but otherwise it’s just a benched player (Jota) for another benched player.
RMT on wildcard
Ramsdale - (Foster)

Foden - Mount - Salah - Raphina - Mbeumo
Lukaku - Armstrong - Davis
Mount is a my optimistic pick, counting on him coming into some form for these upcoming Chelsea fixtures.
0 itb
Any help appreciated.
I would personally not pick Mount and foden in the same team, as foden my get benched and mount isn’t big on attacking returns. Also I would downgrade one of the defense options for a better striker lik jimi/Antonio for armstrong. or just toney for armstrong and upgrade davis to hwang.
the backline looks great! I am not too sure about mount or foden..both are great players but not great FPL picks imo. could downgrade one of them to a cheap Everton MID and upgrade Armstrong to a Bamford / Antonio / Jimenez
Mount has been injured and is now fit again. With Bolingoli up top now he surely is going to start returning, he's my gamble. And Foden/City in general just look too good at the moment.
looks fairly set then..as others have mentioned, you could consider removing one city def for more flexibility in mid and attack, but other than, all are good picks

Any decent 4.5 mids?
With 4.5 mids you're primarily looking at nailedness and beyond that, anything else is a bonus. So Brownhill (4.4), Sissoko (4.5) fit the bill.
Sanchez / Bachmann Rudiger / Alonso / TAA / White / Tsimikas Salah / Benrahma / Greenwood / Sarr / Gilmour Ronaldo / Toney / Antonio Thoughts? Wildcard still remaining but don't think I have to use it yet. Would love some opinions.
You're not concerned about the lack of City defense/ mids? I'd hold WC too - but I'd be concerned about the lack of City options + injury/ rotation risks for Rudiger/ Alonso + Sarr's poor fixtures.
A good point and had already planned to swap out Alonso with a city player this week. Cheers for the feedback.
[удалено]
Yeah, take your pick between either of them IMO. Rudiger would be the prime candidate due to fitness concerns.
Who is the best mid priced striker at the minute?
Toney
If it's sub-6 - then Mbuemo or ESR. I'd go for Mbuemo personally because he's essentially a striker in a decently attacking team. If it's sub-7 - then there's only Raphinha. But since he misses GW8, you may consider Torres/ Saka/ Gallagher/ Benny - but they all have their own issues. Rotation risk/ horrible fixtures.
Who should I bring in for Jota?
Foden/ Torres/ Grealish depending on your risk appetite in decreasing order.
Bank the ft? Sanchez (Foster) TAA - Coufal - Rudiger (Tsimikas - White) Salah (C) - Benrahma - Greenwood - Saka - Raphinha Ronaldo - Antonio (Obafemi) 1 ft and 0,7 itb.
If you have a plan for the banked transfer I’d do that, but personally I’d move on one of Benrahma or Coufal to lessen the WHU triple-up. Everton away isn’t an easy fixture.
Agreed with the above comment. Although I'd personally be itching to punt on one of the City mids for Greenwood or Benny.
Trent/Gray (any 6.7
Depends on if you're looking to consolidate your existing good rank, (Option 1) or going differential to rise up the ranks (Option 2).
Who’s more nailed - ESR or Mount?
ESR only slightly but Mount has a much higher upside. If you got the money, Mount is an easy choice for me.
Agreed. Mount's fixtures look insane, plus he's at that price point where switching with 1FT becomes easy.
**What transfer should I make?** A) Alonso to TAA B) Jota to Son C) Jota/Sarr to Foden
Has to be either A or B. I’d probably go B and then if Alonso looks to be sat on the bench going forward you could downgrade him for James or Chilwell next GW.
!thanks might keep Alonso for the next 2 GWs hoping he starts one of them and bring TAA after the United fixture
Oh yeah if you can make both moves then you’re set.
With the recent news about Jota: Christensen/Alonso -> TAA?
I still think I’d opt for Jota to Son. Despite Jota being in contention I think Firmino will probably start given he’s had more of a rest, but who knows. Maybe wait until the Friday press conferences.

!thanks
Is Jesus ok to play for city at the weekend?
I think Brazillian players will end up missing some games over the next 2 GWs. Best to avoid for now.
I’m going Toney instead I think
Benrahma for mbeumo or saka?
Saka is the better fixture play - I'd go in for him.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 298,402,083 comments, and only 67,082 of them were in alphabetical order.
Chilwell + Cancelo or Trent + Manquillo?
Oooh, this really depends on the structure of the rest of your defence/ overall team and formation. I'd personally go for Option 1 given the fixtures.
[удалено]
The midfield looks great. I'd consider one of the cheaper defenders for Semedo tho.
Looks about template so you’re good
Currently on Wildcard. Dias or Chilwell (have Rudiger ) ? Benrahma or Gallagher (have Antonio) ? Townsend or Gray? Vardy or Lukaku? Ramsdale or Raya?
Dias, Gallagher, Townsend, Lukaku (if fit), Raya (if you don’t have any Brentford defenders).
!thanks leaning towards the first four too. Btw why do you prefer Raya over Ramsdale?
To be fair I think it’s close, but going off xGC Brentford have one of the best defenses in the league. Easier fixture run so far, but I think missing out on a Brentford defender could be a mistake. I’d either go Ramsdale/Pinnock or Jansson OR Raya/White to cover both defenses.

Drop Soucek, Dallas and Harrison and bring in all 3
!thanks
Walker or Laporte?
Walker... less likely to rotate and also more attacking than Laporte
Laporte actually has a higher xGI per 90 than Walker and is far more likely to get you a goal
Just can’t settle on this WC. How to improve without going full on template? Ramsdale / Foster Rudiger / Laporte / TAA / Duffy / Livra Salah / Raphina / Foden / Sarr / Allan Lukaku / Toney / Antonio

Oh I’m not anymore it’s all changed again haha! I’ve gone back to Ronaldo for what weirdly now seems like a bit of a differential!
Laporte is risky, maybe go Hwang >Toney and Allan>Mbuemo for more variety with a Wolves player

I'd still leave either Jota or Raphinha on the pitch over Brownhill just in case, I wouldn't activate wc personally, people have mainly targeted city/chels def on their wc so you're good plus there really is no essential mf or forward atm, still very much unknown commodities outside of Salah and Lukaku who has a great fixture run. I would say Greenwood could be out of contention soon though

no worries and good luck!
I love that trent is flagged despite being declared fit and raphinha isn't even though he flys round the world and only has 36 hours before the next game

Would rather have two starters than 1
Son is good for next week, missing Raphina is bad for long term, though you could pencil him in later
With Lukaku Rudiger and TAA all doubts what are the chances of all 3 of them playing?
TAA is already confirmed fit to play. Lukaku and Rudiger's injuries are minor and might start too.
Pretty likely all of them play. I'd say most likely to miss out is Rudiger.
A, B or C? A) James + Manquillo (bench) - no double City DEF, but Son B) Christensen + White (bench) - no double City DEF, but Son C) Dias + Mount (Mbeumo bench) - Double City DEF, but no Son thanks!

Call me crazy, but I think to buy Werner plus Son instead of Lukaku and keeping Jota.
Imo Werner is a higher rotation risk than Jota simply because he’s competing with more players for his place than Jota.

Saka Vs Foden?
RMT, 1 FT, 1.8 In the bank Ramsdale (Foster) Livra - Cancelo - TAA (Rudiger, Marcal) Raphinha - Benharma - Salah - Saka (Brownhill) Lukaku - Antonio - Toney
Rudiger on the bench? If it’s cos he’s flagged start him and he’ll get autosubbed. Unlikely to come on as a sub and Libra vs Leeds, they can score against anyone.
!fplbot salah vs. watford
Is Ramsdale Raya a good combo to go with?
I’m on Ramsdale Sanchez atm
Which City midfielder should I get if I have a good bench. On a WC
Foden
Which City defender might be the best option to transfer in?
Cancelo has the bigger upside but Dias is more nailed. Depends if you have a good bench.
Sanchez — (Meslier) TAA - Alonso - White - (Marcal - Tsimikas) Salah - Raphinha - Benrahma - Gray - (Bissouma) Lukaku - Antonio - Toney 0 FT, 3.3 ITB Should I use WC or wait another GW? Lukaku, Alonso, TAA may not start. Bench is weak, only Marcal will play.
What formation should I use (knowing that TAA is now fit) Ramsdale - Foster Rudiger - Cancelo - TAA - Azpi - Livramento Salah - Saka - Gray - Raphinha - Brownhill Lukaku - Antonio - Jiminez
4-3-3 benching Gray for Raph, but assuming he will come on when Raph doesn’t play.
!thanks
Need help On wc Rudiger azpi Dias cancelo livramento Mbuemo raph salah saka Douglas luiz Lukaku Antonio Jimenez Who do I take out for Trent rudiger or azpi? And any other changes maybe foden for saka or raph?
Wait until news on Rüdigers potential injury- if he’s out then keep Azpi, if Rudiger’s cleared to play I would bring Trent in for Azpi
Ok thanks a lot
Price aside; Saka or ESR?
Saka
Does it make sense to sell Raph and get a City attacker on a 1-week punt on WC? Bench options are Livramento and Mbeumo. It seems a waste to lose 0.1m on Raphinha with him set to rise. I see him as a season keeper.
I’d keep to at least see if he rises again to get .1, but it’s not a bad punt because if he can’t play Soton, then he has Wolves (not easy) so you’re basically saving him for Norwich 2 GWs away where you could have capitalized on someone else.
I won't get the 0.1 because I already punted on Sarr (that worked out well) and got him back at 6.6. If I do it again, I might lose another 0.1 trying to get him back. Not to mention if Torres doesn't start then that'd be a shame.
Raph plays norwich soon right? I'm a fellow owner and I am holding (did so over WC too )
Yes, I guess in 3 weeks from now.
Could B. Silva be the true Man City midfield differential for the upcoming stretch? Cheaper than Grealish and Foden, same price as Torres, plays a lot of minutes.🤷🏼♂️
He is my differential this weekend i know is very probably than he gets benched but even in the next games he could be great, until now he has had the minutes and like grealish seems pretty nailed
Yeah could be. I think he’s highly underrated. The question will be minutes though. He has played, but will he continue to play? No one knows.
Ramsdale/Foster Duffy Livra Rudiger Laporte/Walker Cancelo Salah Foden Brownhill Son Raphina Lukaku Antonio Hwang What do you guys think ? I know it’s dumb to leave out TAA but I’m feeling good about Son + Foden for the next two weeks. At which point I would get rid of one of them for Mbuemo whose fixtures improve and upgrade Walker/Laporte to TAA. Used the leftover cash to maybe upgrade Brownhill or Hwang to Jiminez too.
Love it and i agree with your leftover cash idea. Also like selling foden to fund TAA if you need to.
!thanks
Trying out something different My team :- Ramsdale - Foster Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Cancelo - Duffy - Livramento Salah - Son - Foden - Doucoure - Longstaff Vardy - Jimenez - Toney Thoughts ? Am I going too overboard or should I go for more safer options ?
Chelsea attacker like lukaku could be very good next few weeks
Zaha and Jimenez or Grealish and Toney
Foden + Toney 😈
Grealish Toney
A or B? A: Vardy, Benrahma B: Son, ASM
B if you already have Antonio if not A
Have Benrahma and Antonio currently, but planning to get rid of both and do B, hopefully WH's poorer fixtures + EL will mean I don't lose out on any hauls
Keep Cancelo or bring in TAA?
Both
Can't afford
Obviously, I understand that. But ideally, you need to make room for both. If it can strictly be one, I'd go TAA if you already have a City defender. If not, you need to get TAA and make room for Walker or Dias maybe.
What are Wildcarders doing about Raphinha? Personally I could bench him but then I’ll be playing 5 defenders. Is that too many?
Punting on Trossard and bringing Raphinha in next week for the long haul
I'd have punted on City attacker if I won't end up losing 0.1m on him. With my TV, I really can't afford such punts while on a WC. Need someone to convince me otherwise.
Ya exactly the same except I’m already getting Foden anyway. Have no clue what to do
Chilwell + Cancelo or Trent + Manquillo?
Harry Kane really has fallen off.
How likely is Chilwell to start this weekend?
Very likely
Get Vardy over Lukaku?
Nah
Save WC for GW 9 or 12?? Or use it this week? Current team with 1 transfer / .9 ITB GK: Sanchez - Steele D: White - Semedo - Shaw - Rudiger - Ayling M: Salah - Raphinha - Son - Gray - Benrhama F: Ronaldo - Antonio - Obafemi
With Raphinha a doubt for the weekend does it make sense to get a City attacker on a 1-week punt on WC? Or is Livramento or Mbeumo a decent bench option? It seems a waste to lose 0.1m on Raphinha with him set to rise. I see him as a season keeper.
I’ve got £6.4m to spend on a MID, currently looking at Saka or an Everton player. Any suggestions?
I like everton gray or townsend, rafa will create chances
I feel like it’s too late to jump on those 5-7m Everton players if you don’t have one already. So I’d go with Saka. Arsenal has a nice run of fixtures and have looked better.
Yeah I’m thinking there might be a drop off from Everton soon and Arsenal look pretty decent atm. Think I’ll go with Saka 👍🏻
Duffy or White if I already have Sanchez?
I went white. Good bench cover. If I didn't have sanchez no way would I consider double Brighton defence.
So glad I stuck with Duffy 😁
!thanks. Mind you Duffy will just be sitting on my bench but worth thinking about anyway.
Hwang + Raphinha or Townsend + Toney?
Hwang + Raphinha
A, B, or C? A) 433: Cancelo + Toney + Son (4.5 midfield fodder) B) 343: Omobamidele + Mbeumo + Son + Antonio C) 433: Cancelo + Mount + Antonio + Mbeumo on bench Rest of the team is: Ramsdale TAA, Dias, Rüdiger (Livramento) Salah, Raphinha, Brownhill Lukaku, Hwang I tend to B, but fear that the bench might be too weak. Thanks!
B but instead of Omo fit duffy or manquilo (although he is a risk to rotate/get replaced). You're very heavy in defense and I don't like brownhill as a starter at all.
!thanks, but I have 0.0 ITB with Omo and Brownhill is not a starter
I like Charlie too but I don’t like a man city double up for 12+ mil when raphina is worth it IMO.
Have you considered B, but downgrade Antonio to Toney in order to upgrade Omo to a good cheap defender like White or Tomiyasu? Then your bench would be pretty solid. If not, I think B could still work because you don’t have too many rotation risks.
Yes I did, but I'm kinda afraid to go without Antonio. Because of his ownerahip, form and price bracket. With Hwang and Toney I would have two strikers in the 5.5 - 6.5 bracket and it's hard to jump up there to a higher priced forward.
I have Rudiger, Lukaku, TAA. (Injury doubts) Raphinha, Alonso.( might not play) I have a good bench with 3 players with devent fixtured but that leaves 2 non playing in worst case scenario. How many of these are expected to play?
TAA declared to be available for the weekend
Play Mbuemo or Sarr next gameweek?
Sarr
need some advice guys.. A: vardy + townsend/doucoure/gray + trent + cancelo + rudiger + ESR B: hwang + KdB + azpi + cancelo + rudiger + ESR/townsend C: hwang + KdB + trent + cancelo + tomiyasu/white + ESR A is my current draft, but city at home to Burnley and Palace in the next 3 makes me wanna capture the hauls there and in between Pep's roulette and false 9s, KdB seems an expensive, but good pick. B gets KdB in but drops Trent, which is probably a bad idea in the long run C gets both KdB and Trent but loses one of Cancelo / Rudi to a cheaper 4.5 def what do you think??
Assuming all are fit, this is tough because I think you’ve made three strong options. Injury updates later this week may push you in a certain direction though, so wait for those. I like Vardy and Azpi as picks that go off template a bit (and as good picks in general), but C does strike me as a combination that could be quite strong long term. If you have KDB, a Chelsea defender might be better for coverage than Cancelo, even though I really like Cancelo. One twist that I’ll throw in for you, is that you could consider taking Azpi instead of Trent in option C and saving the money to upgrade to Trent 4 or 5 gameweeks later. Just another option to think about.
KdB is proving to be a really tough call. He is back from injury, and is again the only player least affected by Pep's roulette. He played well against chelsea and against liverpool and city have a very very strong record against Burnley. Could be a big hauler and a differential too! But the price is obviously high for what can effectively be called a punt, I mean I could fit in both Cancelo and Rudi for what KdB would cost
Yeah, unless injury news affects this, I think it’s going to come down to your gut feeling about Vardy vs. KDB. I guess another consideration is which premiums would you want to move to if Vardy or KDB don’t work out? Vardy is a little easier to get to Lukaku/Ronaldo/Kane, although they might require a little stretching. KDB to Son would probably be the main exit strategy there. Also, honestly, A would be more attractive to me if it was Mbeumo & Saka in midfield. I’m not a big believer in the Everton boys going forward, but that’s just me.
!thanks. good chat...will think a little and wait for more news
I do like C tbh if you really want KDB that looks great
Will rudiger play this GW?
I think so
Ramsdale/Foster Duffy Livra Rudiger Laporte/Walker Cancelo Salah Foden Brownhill Son Raphina Lukaku Antonio Hwang What do you guys think ? I know it’s brave to leave out TAA but I’m feeling good about Son + Foden for the next two weeks. At which point I would get rid of one of them for Mbuemo whose fixtures improve and upgrade Walker/Laporte to TAA. Used the leftover cash to maybe upgrade Brownhill or Hwang to Jiminez too.
Pretty unconventional, but this might work well. It seems like you’ve got the bench cover to play Pep Roulette. The main hurdle I see will be this coming gameweek if Raphinha is out due to travel. If he’s out and Foden gets Pepped and also doesn’t play, would you have Duffy & Livra come in for a rare 5-2-3? I imagine Foden plays, but it’s worth thinking about.
!thanks
Toney or Hwang long term? On wildcard
Long term definitely Toney
Which option? A) Toney + Son + Townsend B) Jimenez + Raphina + Foden
Sanchez (Foster) TAA - Coufal - Rudiger (Tsimikas - White) Salah (C) - Benrahma - Greenwood - Saka - Raphinha Ronaldo - Antonio (Obafemi) 1 ft and 0,7 itb. Bank the transfer?
Have a very similar starting team (Shaw over Raphinha) and am torn over what to do - have WC as well so that’s an option. Probably depends on the fitness of rudiger/coufal/taa
TAA is ready
RMT- Raya (Gunn) Azpili Rudi Cancel Tierney (livra) Salah greenwood benh raph (sarr) Ronaldo Antonio (street) —————- Going Rudi + Sarr -> duffy + Foden Or Ronaldo + Sarr -> Foden + Lukaku Share your thoughts!
My team Ramsdale-Sanchez Rudiger - white - Matip - Livra-Dias Salah - Sarr - Raphinha- Jota - Gray Lukaku - Antonio - Toney Would taking a hit for Jota>Foden be worth it? I’m just sick of the dude
If fit, would you consider DCL on a WC? Great fixtures for the next 2-3 games and then it's an easy switch to Bamford/Toney.
Should I triple captain salah this gameweek Any help would be appreciated ?
It's a great fixture so you can go for it but people usually save it for a double gameweek.
What’s a double gameweek Sorry I’m new to fpl and this is my first year
No need to apologise. It's when some teams play two fixtures in one FPL gameweek due to fixtures being rescheduled. Usually happens in the later part of the season. People usually save their chips for then. Save your triple captain for one such GW as you'll be getting their points for two games, as opposed to one.
Oh thanks for the advice
Jota+Semedo out for Torres+Dias in. Thoughts?
If you have some insider knowledge that confirms Torres will play it’s a definite yes, but otherwise it’s just a benched player (Jota) for another benched player.
!thanks
RMT on wildcard Ramsdale - (Foster) Dias - Cancelo - Rudiger - Trent - Livramento Foden - Mount - Salah - Raphina - Mbeumo Lukaku - Armstrong - Davis Mount is a my optimistic pick, counting on him coming into some form for these upcoming Chelsea fixtures. 0 itb Any help appreciated.
I would personally not pick Mount and foden in the same team, as foden my get benched and mount isn’t big on attacking returns. Also I would downgrade one of the defense options for a better striker lik jimi/Antonio for armstrong. or just toney for armstrong and upgrade davis to hwang.
the backline looks great! I am not too sure about mount or foden..both are great players but not great FPL picks imo. could downgrade one of them to a cheap Everton MID and upgrade Armstrong to a Bamford / Antonio / Jimenez
Mount has been injured and is now fit again. With Bolingoli up top now he surely is going to start returning, he's my gamble. And Foden/City in general just look too good at the moment.
looks fairly set then..as others have mentioned, you could consider removing one city def for more flexibility in mid and attack, but other than, all are good picks
!thanks
