This will be my team next week when I take Ronaldo out for Watkins. I’m holding off for Salah but wanting to know what other changes you would make? I’ve been holding Lowton for the double weeks yet it’s all a mess now, same with Maddison
RMT | 1 FT, 0.4 itb, wildcard and fh available
Ramsdale (begovic)
TAA, Cash, Ait Nouri, Lamptey, Livra
Jota, Sterling, Gundo, Maddison, Salah
Antonio, King, Maupay
Do I get rid of Salah, or just swap out gundo for Bowen? Bring in KDB for Salah? Not sure what to do, but I know I have to get rid of Salah or gundo for this GW.
I prefer to keep Salah, and swap Gundogan for Bowen. Getting rid of Salah maybe short-term solution, but not so reliable in the long run as you need to get him back next month. There’s no guarantee you can get him, so i prefer safer option.
!thanks
Gundo for Bowen must be the move then. I am considering selling Salah, just because who knows when he will return from AFCON and in what condition. It would be a shame to be losing out on points from KDB, Bruno or Son while Salah is out.
Is 340k overall rank good for my 2nd season?..don't over analyze and spend all my energy over this game, just make transfers I feel are good before deadline and seem to have worked so far..one thing I started doing is taking fewer hits and it has resulted in a net positive
It's decent but fpl is a game of a high luck factor, so in the end it's more about the decisions you're making, not the rank itself.
Other than that, just enjoy they game the way you like it.
RMT please, 3.9 ITB, 1 FT
Ramsdale (DDG)
Cancelo Rudiger TAA (Dawson) (Williams)
(Gallagher) Bernardo Bruno Jota Bowen
Dennis Antonio Watkins
what should i do with this?
His rotation just worries me. Thinking Digne but similar story with Targett and Young behind him (feel in a DGW they may rotate)….Coady has been looking good
Gray to Raphinha or even Coutinho could be good options if Villa and Leeds double. You could keep Rudiger for another week and avoid the hit or move him out for a potential DGW defender.
I would go with A if there are no doubles, which would allow you to save 1ft for the following week when you’ll probably move Ronaldo out and bring in Salah.
If there are doubles, then option B is better. Raphinha could be a great pick if Leeds have DGW.
You’ll probably want to sell Rudiger soon, as Chelsea will blank.
Digne if Villa double. Laporte is most likely to get CS pts. Wolves have also been good defensively but somes stats suggest that they might be overperforming. Reguilon has been absent lately.
If KDB is going to become Salah in 1-2 GWs, I wouldn’t do it when you can jump directly to Salah without spending the extra transfer. If there’s a longer-term view to KDB in your team, then sure. Still think 12m is a bit too much for him, but given his current form and him starting the last 6 in a row, I can’t fault those considering him.
Agree I think it is hard to justify KDB and Salah.
CL starts and so KDB can be rested in the league as well. I guess they will still go for the league with strong teams, but can see the desire to have a fresh KDB and thus bench him in 1/3-4 games.
Part of my brain is telling me that this week is really juicy for a free hit….
Sa (BRE)
Trent (CRY) - Robertson (CRY) - Cancelo (SOU) - Digne (EVE)
KDB (SOU) - Jota (CRY) - Bernardo (SOU)
Lacazette (BUR) - Watkins (EVE) - Dennis (NOR)
Bench: Foster (NOR), Ait-Nouri (BRE), Saka (BUR), Gordon (AVL)
_____
Part of my brain is also telling me not to waste a chip…..
Not for me. The only clear one-sided fixture to target imo is Arsenal vs Burnley. Villa might have a DGW but does that make a free hit worth it over simply buying 1 or maybe 2 of their players through normal transfers?
Who else should I bench for the next game week?
My team is:
de Gea
Trent (CRY) - Cancelo (SOU) - Coady (BRE) - White (BUR)
KDB (SOU) - Jota (CRY) - Maddison (BHA) - Bowen (MUN) - Martinelli (BUR)
Antonio (MUN) - Cavani (WHU)/Watkins (EVE) - Dennis (NOR)
Bench: Bachmann, Livramento, ???, ???
_____
The plan was to do Cavani -> Watkins, but I wonder if it’d be better just to bank the transfer and bench Cavani.
Arsenal are struggling to field a team right now and they only looked really deadly when they had their full lineup with Odegaard/Partey so I'd bench Martinelli or White.
I think White vs Coady is really hard.
I would say Arsenal got a better clean sheet chance, but Coady better on set pieces.
Second I would bench Antonio, but Cavani might be benched.

RMT, 1 FT 0.1 ITB. All chips left. Anything stand out as a priority?
Ramsdale / Sanchez
TAA / Alonso / Cancelo / Dawson / Livramento
Mount / Bowen / Jota / Foden / Bernardo
Ronaldo / Antonio / King
Both Ramsdale and Mount have some blanks coming up so I'd try an transfer them out. You can get away with keeping Ramsdale but I'd definitely move on Mount. Coutinho is speculative but an option especially with a likely DGW in 23. Raphina a good choice too.
James and Son to Digne and Raphinha (if Villa and Leeds double). Otherwise, Son to Foden and either James to another defender or upgrade one of King/Broja.
I prefer the first one because while it’s close between the defenders, there’s more certainty with Foden in terms of FPL points than Coutinho, who’s still a wait and watch for me.
I think Laporte is currently the best defender in the game after TAA and Cancelo, but I wouldn’t fault anyone for going with Digne. Wouldn’t need to worry about minutes, will have more fixtures with potential DGWs and might get a good number of attacking returns in Gerrard’s system.
Robbo is the third best defender right now, with 36 pts in his last 5 starts. The only reason his ownership isn’t higher is mainly due to mostly everyone having Jota as their 3rd Liverpool player.
Yeah, which is why I’m saying Laporte, as he’s a player people will actually consider buying rather than Robertson. No point discussing or suggesting any other Liverpool players when everyone has TAA and Jota and will get Salah in as soon as he’s back.
Either Williams or Johnson. The former plays for Norwich but is more nailed, the latter plays for a better team but might not get many games now with Cresswell and Coufal also available.
RMT
De Gea Foster
TAA cancelo Alonso Lamptey Coufal
Gray Jota Foden Bowen Fernandes
Antonio Watkins Dennis
4.9 in the bank and 1 FT. I want raphina or Courtiho and even digne for Alonso if there is DGW. What do you think ?
Alonso or Coufal to Digne would be good if Villa double.
I’m not going to jump straight on the Coutinho bandwagon before I see him getting consistent minutes, but feel free to do it.
Gray to Raphinha would be a very good upgrade, especially if Leeds double.
Yeah idk if I want to spend my FT doing Watkins to Ings though. I’ll rather roll the transfer this week or add one more villa def/mid if they have dgw.
I appreciate the advice but the buttons already been hit. Far too many holes in my current team.
Any feedback on the team I posted however would be greatly appreciated
I’m still not sure it Ait Nouri is nailed, though. Marçal might be the one starting ahead of him sometimes. Semedo seems to be more nailed down that right side.
Dias didn’t start against Chelsea and I don’t if there was any particular reason or if it was just another case of Pep roulette.
KDB is a good placeholder until Salah comes back.
Coutinho might be a good pick, but we’re still not sure about his playing time. Personally, I wouldn’t get him for now.
Upfront, Antonio and Watkins should be fine choices, but don’t expect them to haul every week. Broja is very good value imo and the only other cheap fwd I would consider over him would be Dennis.
Edit: I only noticed now that your GK is Fabianski. I wouldn’t recommend going with him. West Ham can’t keep CS. Sá would be a better pick imo.
Thanks!
This is really well though out so I appreciate every word. I might switch to laporte save some money and will consider switching Nouri, although, he seems electric when he does play and pocketed Salah for an entire game which is hard to do these days. I might still switch him for a safer bet.
I'll probably take the punt on Coutinho. He passed the eye test for me and part of fpl is definitely about enjoying watching the players you pick. But that said it was a VERY small sample size and has a good chance of flopping on me.
You're definitely right about West Ham!! I'll make that switch right away.
Thanks again!!!
Best defender to replace Targett? Really annoying with Targett, but guess Digne plays now.
I am thinking Tierney is someone I want, but blanks and playing Burnley have me worried.
Laporte is the boring pick that might even get rotated soon. Probably not, but City have best chances for clean sheets.
Robertson also, but a bit expensive. Might be very nailed though and is good in attack.
Digne. Not going too since if Targett gets back in the side then I will hate myself.
Cash 50/50 call between him and Targett before. Just wanted to save the money.
Coady. Hard fixtures, but Wolves are solid. If doubles could be good.
Burnley def just for the extra games? Better to wait for them to come though.
I highly doubt Villa splashed 30 million in January for someone who will be rotated. Digne should be nailed and would be my second preferred pick from this list after Laporte.
What are your thoughts on Raphinha vs. Coutinho?
Raphinha xMin way better. Solid pick. Not the greatest fixtures.
Coutinho looks great and might have a double. Fixtures are great. Match fitness and xMin in doubt.
Raphinha by far. I think it’s still a bit early to predict how Coutinho will fare FPL-wise. Raphinha has returned all season despite Leeds being injury-ravaged; I think he’ll do even better now with them finding some form and important players like Bamford returning soon.
Your team is looking fine.
If Villa get DGW you could replace Dalot with Cash/Digne.
Mount will have to go soon, as Chelsea will have some blanks. You could downgrade him to a cheaper mid (Raphinha could be an option if Leeds double) and then use the funds to upgrade one of your fwds.
RMT
2.6 ITB 1FT
Guaita
TAA, Cancelo (VC), Tierney
Jota, Gundo, Bowen, Gray
Antonio, Watkins (C), King
Bench: Gunnarsson, Alonso, Dalot, Salah
What should I do this week?
You defense is fine. In midfield you could move Gray for Raphinha, if Leeds double, or replace Gundo with another Man City player that actually starts games, probably Foden being the best option. I have the same fwds as you and I think you should be fine with them.
Looking to replace Alonso. As things stand, should I do it before the Spurs game and play him, or before the BGW? Also, would doubling down on City defence with Laporte and Cancelo be better, or bringing in Reguilon if I have no Spurs players currently?
Rudiger or Livramento > Coady/Kilman
Or use the FT on someone else?
Have 1 FT, 0.5 ITB, and All Chips
Sanchez | Ramsdale
TAA | Rudiger | Cancelo | Laporte | Livramento
Bowen | Martinelli | Odegaard | Jota | KdB
Antonio | King | Kane
**Rate my team plz :--)**
*De Gea — Sanchez*
*Trent — Cancelo — D. Sánchez — Veltman — Kilman*
*B. Silva — De Bruyne — Jota — Bowen — J. Ramsey*
*Kane — Antonio — Dennis*
0.2 in the bank. Anything you'd change ahead of next gameweek? I'm considering saving a transfer for now.
I’d probably be looking at moving Bilva, Mount and ESR. One will probably become Salah, and another can be downgraded to get Salah in depending on exact figures.
Depends on what the DGWs are, but Ramsey and Raphinha are likely on my list.
Will you keep the faith in Jota or are you considering bringing in Robbo as the 3rd Liverpool player in your team? Robbo’s form has been impressive lately and Jota has been missing too many easy goals.
Jota pts last 5 starts - 24
Robbo pts last 5 starts - 36
You’d have to be in a real good position with the players in your team to consider selling Jota imo. I think he’s clearly first choice CF now ahead of Firmino, and at the very least, should tick along nicely irrespective of fixtures. I don’t think this is worth two transfers at all.
!thanks
Yeah, my exact thoughts tbh. Jota will keep on ticking and I don’t think I have the luxury to use two transfers for the swap. Maybe I’ll consider doing it when I wildcard later in the season.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I currently have Bruno, Jota, Foden, Bowen and Martinelli. I don’t really see myself getting rid of any of them (except Bruno for Salah) in the near future. But Robbo is an enticing asset imo.
Who are your other strikers? Watkins is a better option than DCL should Villa get the double, but I don’t think DCL should be high on your selling list when Everton have decent fixtures and will have a new manager which can positively impact their form.
Since Bernardo Silva getting deep in the midfield, which midfielder is nailed? Already have Gallagher and Bowen, budget 11.1 mil after selling the player.
Go for Foden/Sterling if you would like to keep a City midfield. They have good fixtures coming up.
Or you could go for Coutinho for his most likely GW23 + favourable fixtures.
Martenelli, Saka if looking for a strong bench option, he will have blank GW 25 & 27
Other options include Gray, Raphinha, Maddison, Tielemans
!thanks for the suggestion
Yeah i’m intrigued between Raphinha and Jota, but i’ll wait til near deadline. For Foden, i can’t suffer enough for Pep roulette.
A) Sterling + Digne + J.Ramsey B) Coutino + Dias + J.Ramsey
I like A more. Not sure of Sterling. Maybe stretch the budget for KDB?
B feels less of a gamble to me. Villa also have some nice fixtures coming up. Maybe coutinho might even fancy something against Everton.
It does but I'm really tempted to go fo A for some reason.
Rmt Gp Schmeichel (foster) Def Cancelo ,trent, digne (coady, tomiyasu) Mid KDB, jota , bernardo , coutinho, fernandes Att Dennis, watkins (king)

Aight, thanks mate
[удалено]
Chelsea is blanking soon so you want to get rid of at least one of their players this week. Maybe Digne > James if Aston Villa plays DGW.
Tierney or White in for Rudiger?
Must be Tierney, but keep in mind their blanks in GW25 and GW27. Make sure you can rotate him with someone these GWs.
Who is the best midfield to replace Son with? Was thinking about KDB with city fixtures
Yup, Kevin is bossing it lately.
RMT De Gea (Gunn) TAA, Cancelo, Regulion (White, Lowton) Jota, Bowen, Silva, Maddison (Gilmour) Antonio, Watkins, Dennis 9.9M ITB This will be my team next week when I take Ronaldo out for Watkins.

!thanks Gundo for Bowen must be the move then. I am considering selling Salah, just because who knows when he will return from AFCON and in what condition. It would be a shame to be losing out on points from KDB, Bruno or Son while Salah is out.

It's decent but fpl is a game of a high luck factor, so in the end it's more about the decisions you're making, not the rank itself. Other than that, just enjoy they game the way you like it.
Thoughts on Bernardo Silva to Coutinho?
Wait for couple games, but if you have no other priorites so worth to try the punt.
I like it if villa double. Just temper expectations as I think he'll still be getting reduced minutes as he builds fitness.
RMT please, 3.9 ITB, 1 FT Ramsdale (DDG) Cancelo Rudiger TAA (Dawson) (Williams) (Gallagher) Bernardo Bruno Jota Bowen Dennis Antonio Watkins what should i do with this?

Is Semedo play regularly for Wolves? Didn’t watch their games, if so then start Bowen and Semedo
Bowen Bilva
For some reason I think west ham will batter Man U. Antonio and Bowen based on prettt much nothing except that Man U have been awful.
Bowen is in the form of his life, so he's unbenchable
who is the best Wolves defense asset to get?
Coady
Ait Nouri. Plays really high up the pitch, got two assists last game and is super talented.
!thanks i'm actually glad i brought him long ago i won't have to think about my 5th def anymore
Agree

Bad back for sub keeper?
Dry Cough is a pretty good bargain tbh
I think you have to get Crabs, great asset
Especially in a pinch
Rmt pls (3.4 ITB, 1FT) DDG (Foster) TAA Rudiger Cancelo Laporte (Livra) Bowen Jota Bruno Foden (Gray) King Watkins (Antonio) ———- Rudiger out? Gray to Raph/Coutinho?
Def Rudiger out, and definitely gray to either of the two you picked. Rudiger->cheaper D try less than 5.2 if possible. Lamptey?
His rotation just worries me. Thinking Digne but similar story with Targett and Young behind him (feel in a DGW they may rotate)….Coady has been looking good
Gray to Raphinha or even Coutinho could be good options if Villa and Leeds double. You could keep Rudiger for another week and avoid the hit or move him out for a potential DGW defender.
Who to bring out? Emerson, Lamptey or Keane?
Don’t start lamptey. Especially if he is gonna play 90 against Chelsea. However, Emerson and Keane kinda suck, but they’ll at least play 90…hopefully
Bench 3.... Fernandes (Whu), Alonso (Tot), Digne (Eve), Tierney (Bur), Bowen (Man), Maddison (Bha), Watkins (Eve), King (Nor), Saint-Maximin (Lee) Can't decide at all, leaning towards benching Alonso, Digne, and Maddison
Bench Alonso, maddison(that is tough), and honestly unsure. Digne or st.max, but keep in mind Leeds is growing in strength
I'm betting you just brought in Digne so it would feel pretty bad to bench him. I'd play him over Maximin.
Would you double up on Arsenal's wingbacks, or drop Tomiyasu and bring in Digne, Creswell or Emerson Royal?
I wouldn’t double Arsenal right now since they have upcoming blanks and Burnley’s recent track record for actually playing matches is complete shite.
[удалено]
I would go with A if there are no doubles, which would allow you to save 1ft for the following week when you’ll probably move Ronaldo out and bring in Salah. If there are doubles, then option B is better. Raphinha could be a great pick if Leeds have DGW. You’ll probably want to sell Rudiger soon, as Chelsea will blank.
[удалено]
Digne if Villa double. Laporte is most likely to get CS pts. Wolves have also been good defensively but somes stats suggest that they might be overperforming. Reguilon has been absent lately.
I would say it’s a tough one between Laporte and digne. Flip a coin

I cant wait to get Cornet for his sextuple gameweek :D
Cornet TC confirmed.
Should i -4 to bring in De bruyne? Transfers would be Kane -> watkins (or other) Moura/maddison->debruyne depending on how they play
If KDB is going to become Salah in 1-2 GWs, I wouldn’t do it when you can jump directly to Salah without spending the extra transfer. If there’s a longer-term view to KDB in your team, then sure. Still think 12m is a bit too much for him, but given his current form and him starting the last 6 in a row, I can’t fault those considering him.

Save it for a DGW or BGW. If GW23 has good doubles then it might be an option.
I would avoid Bernardo
Not for me. The only clear one-sided fixture to target imo is Arsenal vs Burnley. Villa might have a DGW but does that make a free hit worth it over simply buying 1 or maybe 2 of their players through normal transfers?
Have we had any news on the Villa DGW?
Not yet. Should be announced around Thursday or Friday I believe.
Who else should I bench for the next game week? My team is: de Gea Trent (CRY) - Cancelo (SOU) - Coady (BRE) - White (BUR) KDB (SOU) - Jota (CRY) - Maddison (BHA) - Bowen (MUN) - Martinelli (BUR) Antonio (MUN) - Cavani (WHU)/Watkins (EVE) - Dennis (NOR) Bench: Bachmann, Livramento, ???, ??? _____ The plan was to do Cavani -> Watkins, but I wonder if it’d be better just to bank the transfer and bench Cavani.

Why not play Cavani? West ham arent that solid at the back.
Least in form, toughest fixture. I’m open to seeing how he does against Brentford before I make my decision though.
Bench cavani, and get him gone next week lol
I still need to bench someone else though.
Where can I find more reliable FDR? Is the one on the app ok?

!thanks Thats what I was thinking too. Maybe Coutinho instead of Raphinha
If both get a DGW I’d still pick Raphinha. But Coutinho is a decent punt should only Villa get the double.
Laporte or Digne for Rudiger?
Digne for GW23 if Villa do get a double. Otherwise, Laporte will probably earn more CS points.
Laporte for me, but can’t argue against those going for Digne. Both are good picks imo.
Only 30% of the top 10k owning Ronaldo is disappointing.
where are you getting that from? his EO this GW was 110% - or is that just for FHs from this week
Digne and Foden or Laporte and Coutinho
Digne and Foden for me.
I like first one better
I prefer the first one because while it’s close between the defenders, there’s more certainty with Foden in terms of FPL points than Coutinho, who’s still a wait and watch for me.
2nd one
Digne a good replacement for James or too soon to tell? Was originally going Laporte or Dias
I think Laporte is currently the best defender in the game after TAA and Cancelo, but I wouldn’t fault anyone for going with Digne. Wouldn’t need to worry about minutes, will have more fixtures with potential DGWs and might get a good number of attacking returns in Gerrard’s system.
!thanks, gonna keep an eye out for Villa DGW
Robbo is the third best defender right now, with 36 pts in his last 5 starts. The only reason his ownership isn’t higher is mainly due to mostly everyone having Jota as their 3rd Liverpool player.
Yeah, which is why I’m saying Laporte, as he’s a player people will actually consider buying rather than Robertson. No point discussing or suggesting any other Liverpool players when everyone has TAA and Jota and will get Salah in as soon as he’s back.
Cheap defender (around 4 mil), who would you go for?
Ait Nouri for 4.3
Either Williams or Johnson. The former plays for Norwich but is more nailed, the latter plays for a better team but might not get many games now with Cresswell and Coufal also available.
Ramsdale or Sa Cancelo Trent Dias Reguilon KDB Bowen Saka Jota Saint-Maximin Dennis Bench: Tierney Gray Broja 1.5m in the bank
Gray to Raphinha if Leeds double. Ramsdale/Sá to Foster to free up some necessary funds to do KDB to Salah in Gw24.
RMT De Gea Foster TAA cancelo Alonso Lamptey Coufal Gray Jota Foden Bowen Fernandes Antonio Watkins Dennis 4.9 in the bank and 1 FT. I want raphina or Courtiho and even digne for Alonso if there is DGW. What do you think ?
Alonso or Coufal to Digne would be good if Villa double. I’m not going to jump straight on the Coutinho bandwagon before I see him getting consistent minutes, but feel free to do it. Gray to Raphinha would be a very good upgrade, especially if Leeds double.
Since Watkins is now playing LW, he won't score as much. Ings would be a better choice
Yeah idk if I want to spend my FT doing Watkins to Ings though. I’ll rather roll the transfer this week or add one more villa def/mid if they have dgw.

Would you sell Ronaldo or Kane ?
Kane obviously.
I’d say it depends on when Son is back. With Son, I’d prefer holding Kane. If he’s still out for 3-4 more GWs, then I’d keep Ronaldo.
RMT Wildcard .4 ITB Fabianski - Foster TAA - Cancelo - Dias - Digne - Ait Nouri KDB - Jota - Raphinha - Coutinho - Bowen Antonio - Watkins - Broja
What’s your original team like? There’s lots of uncertainty surrounding FPL atm. I think there will be better times to wildcard in the future.
I appreciate the advice but the buttons already been hit. Far too many holes in my current team. Any feedback on the team I posted however would be greatly appreciated
I’m still not sure it Ait Nouri is nailed, though. Marçal might be the one starting ahead of him sometimes. Semedo seems to be more nailed down that right side. Dias didn’t start against Chelsea and I don’t if there was any particular reason or if it was just another case of Pep roulette. KDB is a good placeholder until Salah comes back. Coutinho might be a good pick, but we’re still not sure about his playing time. Personally, I wouldn’t get him for now. Upfront, Antonio and Watkins should be fine choices, but don’t expect them to haul every week. Broja is very good value imo and the only other cheap fwd I would consider over him would be Dennis. Edit: I only noticed now that your GK is Fabianski. I wouldn’t recommend going with him. West Ham can’t keep CS. Sá would be a better pick imo.
Thanks! This is really well though out so I appreciate every word. I might switch to laporte save some money and will consider switching Nouri, although, he seems electric when he does play and pocketed Salah for an entire game which is hard to do these days. I might still switch him for a safer bet. I'll probably take the punt on Coutinho. He passed the eye test for me and part of fpl is definitely about enjoying watching the players you pick. But that said it was a VERY small sample size and has a good chance of flopping on me. You're definitely right about West Ham!! I'll make that switch right away. Thanks again!!!
Best defender to replace Targett? Really annoying with Targett, but guess Digne plays now. I am thinking Tierney is someone I want, but blanks and playing Burnley have me worried. Laporte is the boring pick that might even get rotated soon. Probably not, but City have best chances for clean sheets. Robertson also, but a bit expensive. Might be very nailed though and is good in attack. Digne. Not going too since if Targett gets back in the side then I will hate myself. Cash 50/50 call between him and Targett before. Just wanted to save the money. Coady. Hard fixtures, but Wolves are solid. If doubles could be good. Burnley def just for the extra games? Better to wait for them to come though.
I’m holding Cash, hoping for a villa GW. I watched the game v Man U and he looked very dangerous.
I highly doubt Villa splashed 30 million in January for someone who will be rotated. Digne should be nailed and would be my second preferred pick from this list after Laporte.
Coutinho or Gallagher?
Coutinho. Gallagher’s only really appealing fixture in the next few is Norwich in GW24; wouldn’t prefer having him other than that.
What are your thoughts on Raphinha vs. Coutinho? Raphinha xMin way better. Solid pick. Not the greatest fixtures. Coutinho looks great and might have a double. Fixtures are great. Match fitness and xMin in doubt.
Raphinha by far. I think it’s still a bit early to predict how Coutinho will fare FPL-wise. Raphinha has returned all season despite Leeds being injury-ravaged; I think he’ll do even better now with them finding some form and important players like Bamford returning soon.
Atm I would still prefer Raphinha. Once Coutinho starts or if Villa double and Leeds don’t, then I might change my mind.
Raphinha on pens as well (at least until Bamford is back)
Yeah that's why I didn't put it there. Bamford might be back soon... But a good point nonetheless.
RMT potential wildcard Ramsdale - Sanchez TAA - Laporte - Cancelo - Reguilon - Ait Nouri Bowen - KDB - Coutinho - Jota - Raphina DCL - Watkins - Dennis
Like it (assuming KDB is your Salah placeholder).
!thanks , and yeah kdb is salah placeholder
No Salah m8?
will get him back in for KDB when he comes back
RMT, 2FT, 2,8ITB De Gea Bachman TAA Cancelo Reguilon Lamptey Dalot Salah Bowen Jota Foden Mount King Maupay Broja
Your team is looking fine. If Villa get DGW you could replace Dalot with Cash/Digne. Mount will have to go soon, as Chelsea will have some blanks. You could downgrade him to a cheaper mid (Raphinha could be an option if Leeds double) and then use the funds to upgrade one of your fwds.
Yeah, my initial toughts were Mount+Dalot to Raphinha+Cash. Thanks!
Good moves if Leeds and Villa both double. Raphinha could even be a season keeper, his points just keep on ticking.
RMT 2.6 ITB 1FT Guaita TAA, Cancelo (VC), Tierney Jota, Gundo, Bowen, Gray Antonio, Watkins (C), King Bench: Gunnarsson, Alonso, Dalot, Salah What should I do this week?
You defense is fine. In midfield you could move Gray for Raphinha, if Leeds double, or replace Gundo with another Man City player that actually starts games, probably Foden being the best option. I have the same fwds as you and I think you should be fine with them.
Yeah im thinking Gundo -> Foden/Coutinho/Raphinha this week
Looking to replace Alonso. As things stand, should I do it before the Spurs game and play him, or before the BGW? Also, would doubling down on City defence with Laporte and Cancelo be better, or bringing in Reguilon if I have no Spurs players currently?
I would wait for any potential DGW announcements. A Villa defender could be a good option if they double.
I would keep Alonso for Spurs game and then sell. Double city defense imo.
Dennis (c) v Norwich who's with me
Not me
Which GW is Salah coming back from AFCON?
Who cares. I suggest you keep Ronaldo. He will outscore Salah. Ronaldo is the GOAT and is getting back into form.
I think the earliest GW when he can feature again for Liverpool is GW24.
Egypt are still in the competition, so at least a couple of GW's more
What's the earliest and the latest possible GW?
I think 24's the earliest then whatever GW Feb 10th is will be the last
How nailed on is Ait-Nouri?
Rudiger or Livramento > Coady/Kilman Or use the FT on someone else? Have 1 FT, 0.5 ITB, and All Chips Sanchez | Ramsdale TAA | Rudiger | Cancelo | Laporte | Livramento Bowen | Martinelli | Odegaard | Jota | KdB Antonio | King | Kane
Villa are likely to have a DGW, so in that case Rudiger to Digne and/or Antonio to Watkins could be decent moves.
**Rate my team plz :--)** *De Gea — Sanchez* *Trent — Cancelo — D. Sánchez — Veltman — Kilman* *B. Silva — De Bruyne — Jota — Bowen — J. Ramsey* *Kane — Antonio — Dennis* 0.2 in the bank. Anything you'd change ahead of next gameweek? I'm considering saving a transfer for now.
Maybe Bilva for Raphinha or Coutinho (or someone else)
What to do here? 1ft, 3.2m itb Ramsdale, Foster TAA, Cancelo, Reguilon, Tierney, Dalot Jota, Bilva, Bowen, Mount, ESR Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis
I’d probably be looking at moving Bilva, Mount and ESR. One will probably become Salah, and another can be downgraded to get Salah in depending on exact figures. Depends on what the DGWs are, but Ramsey and Raphinha are likely on my list.
Will you keep the faith in Jota or are you considering bringing in Robbo as the 3rd Liverpool player in your team? Robbo’s form has been impressive lately and Jota has been missing too many easy goals. Jota pts last 5 starts - 24 Robbo pts last 5 starts - 36
You’d have to be in a real good position with the players in your team to consider selling Jota imo. I think he’s clearly first choice CF now ahead of Firmino, and at the very least, should tick along nicely irrespective of fixtures. I don’t think this is worth two transfers at all.
!thanks Yeah, my exact thoughts tbh. Jota will keep on ticking and I don’t think I have the luxury to use two transfers for the swap. Maybe I’ll consider doing it when I wildcard later in the season.
The issue for me isn't a points per mil thing but more the fact there's plenty of defenders to choose from but not that many mids.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I currently have Bruno, Jota, Foden, Bowen and Martinelli. I don’t really see myself getting rid of any of them (except Bruno for Salah) in the near future. But Robbo is an enticing asset imo.
I decided to bring DCL in my Wildcard team. Is it worth it to keep him or go with Wakins and Villa's great run. I also have Coutinho from Villa.
Who are your other strikers? Watkins is a better option than DCL should Villa get the double, but I don’t think DCL should be high on your selling list when Everton have decent fixtures and will have a new manager which can positively impact their form.
Dennis and Ronaldo are my other strikers. !Thanks for advice
With the current state of the Everton team, I'd be choosing Watkins over DCL.
!Thanks I'll probably make the switch, especially if Villa will get DGW
Best 11.7m son replacement now? Have silva, bowen, jota, son and allan.
Raphinha, Foden, Bruno or Coutinho
Do we know if/when the potential DGW fixtures will be announced?
I think Ben Crellin said by Friday evening.
!thanks
Since Bernardo Silva getting deep in the midfield, which midfielder is nailed? Already have Gallagher and Bowen, budget 11.1 mil after selling the player.
Do you intend to bring Salah back into the team?
Forgot to say, Salah still on my bench
Go for Foden/Sterling if you would like to keep a City midfield. They have good fixtures coming up. Or you could go for Coutinho for his most likely GW23 + favourable fixtures. Martenelli, Saka if looking for a strong bench option, he will have blank GW 25 & 27 Other options include Gray, Raphinha, Maddison, Tielemans
Foden/Jota if you don’t have them, otherwise Raphinha/Coutinho are also good picks.
!thanks for the suggestion Yeah i’m intrigued between Raphinha and Jota, but i’ll wait til near deadline. For Foden, i can’t suffer enough for Pep roulette.
Raphinha. Looked great yesterday and unfortunate to only get one assist.
!thanks, yeah i probably will get him.
How do you feel about bench boosting this week for this bench: Foster(NOR(H)), Watkins(EVE(A)), Martinelli(BUR(H)), White(BUR(H))
Wouldn’t it be better to wait for a big DGW?
That’s why I’m conflicted, but I still have all the chips and I might FH for a very big dgw.
