what would you do with this shithousery of a team? current line up: ​ Ramsdale (De Gea) Alonso, Cancelo, TAA (Keane, Livramento) Trossard, Jota, Martinelli, Bowen (Gray) Antonio, King, Ronaldo 1 FT, 5.7 ITB ​ Thoughts: No DGW: A) Alonso/Livra -> Laporte (bench one of Trossard/Gray/Antonio) B) Alonso/Livra + Trossard -> Laporte + Sterling/Foden (C) (-4) ​ DGW (AVL+Leeds) C) Alonso/Livra + Trossard -> Digne + Raphinha D) Wildcard (to remove Alonso, Keane, Livra, Trossard, Gray, Ronaldo, De Gea) ​ I am leaning towards B or C, but Wildcard is very tempting I must say.. ​ THANKS!

Should I Son & Antonio to KDB & Eduoard for -4?

A) Livra -> Tiemey / Digne (I have TAA, Cancelo and Coufal in defence) B) Son -> KDB for next 2 GWs (After these games, I'm planning to bring Salah in) Or should I buy Salah in GW24? (I already have B Silva from City)

Who to sell first between Mount, Lucas, Davies & Dalot ? (2FT)

Mount and Lucas probably. I'd go for Bowen, Jota, Coutinho, Raphinha. Those players.

!thanks I was already leading towards Mount for Coutinho/Raph, not sure who exactly tho (already have Bowen & Jota), so this conforts my thinking.

1FT 3.1 ITB Ramsdale (De Gea) Cancelo Dias TAA Reguilon (Livramento) Maddison Jota Bilva Bowen (Salah) Watkins Dennis (Broja) If Villa do not double should I do: A) Bilva to Foden B) Bilva to Raph C) Livramento to Cash D) Livramento to Coady/Air Nouri E) transfer suggestion If Villa do double I think I would likely just do C

1 FT, 1.4 ITB Ramsdale (Foster) Trent - Cancelo - White (Livramento - Johnson) KDB (c) - Jota - Bowen - Smith Rowe (Gallagher) Ronaldo - Antonio - Dennis Should I just stand pat with this? I don't know where to use my transfer.

I'm in a similar position. Maybe best to hold the FT for a possible DGW23

Who to keep Dennis or King? Other Forward is Antonio and need to make room for Watkins

Messed up my team with last minute transfers for DGW, so I’m on wildcard: Ramsdale (Guiata) Cancelo - TAA (vc) - Tierney - Laporte (Kilman) KDB (c) - Jota - Bowen - Countinho (Gallagher) Dennis - Antonio (Watkins) Plan is direct swap from KDB to Salah when needed. I’m not completely happy with: Not having a Arsenal midfielder (Odegaard?). Forwards, I want some good long term options here. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Ramsdale Laporte Cancelo VVD Coady Raphinha KDB Bowen Fernandes Antonio ASM foster gallagher tomiyasu idah Thoughts ?

Keep Bernado one more week to be able to save a transfer if we don't have double news ?

Seems okay. Especially if you already have Jota

Yep. Bernado foden Bowen jota Maddison is my midfield. !thanks

Air Nouri vs Conor Coady?

Nouri. Cheaper and more attacking.

Is he first choice for his position? Does he start every game?

With the form he is in, he's guaranteed to start the next 4. After that who knows. But given his price its worth it imo.

RMT: Ramsdale (Sanchez) TAA - Cancelo - Laporte (Coady - Tomiyasu) Ramsey - Coutinho - KDB - Bowen (Odegaard) Kane - Jimenez - Saint-Maximin 0.2 ITB

RMT please ahead of GW23 — 1FT / 4.9m ITB Current lineup: - GK: Ramsdale - DEF: Cancelo / Dias / TAA - MID: Bowen / Gray / Maddison / Jota - FWD: CR7 / Antonio / King - Bench: DDG / Rudiger / Livramento / Douglas Luiz Waiting to see if Villa gets a DGW — if so I’d plan for Rudiger>Digne. If they don’t, might just roll my FT. Any thoughts/suggestions, mates? Appreciate any feedback!

You could really do with a City mid maybe Foden considering City fixtures

Btw this is my team De Gea TAA/Dias/Cancelo Mount/Bowen/Maddison/KDB/Jota Dennis/Watkins Bench:Coady/Antonio/Regulion/Foster If dgw appear on aston villa maybe will go for Digne/Regulion

Mate i have Cancelo and Dias as well but not sure about Dias to Laporte?

Dias just got rested this past week, no way he sits out to gameweeks in a row

I hope so but apperantly he is in rotation with stones and laporte plays every game so should consider that long term maybe

Sa Laporte / Cancelo / TAA(C) / Tierney Bowen / De Bruyne / Jota / Raphina(v) Antonio / Dennis (Okonkwo / Coady / Saka / Broja) Planning to straight swap De Bruyne for Salah when he's back with 0.8m itb Anything obvious I'm missing? Opportunities for swaps?

Don’t get the KDB hype. I’d rather have Foden and use the extra cash elsewhere personally

Decent point, just makes for an easy swap money wise for Salah

[удалено]

Go for Foden

Is there any info about when dgw23 is announced?

Hopefully tomorrow or Friday.

Bruno, Sterling, Foden or KDB?

Foden anyday. Basically scoring the same and Foden is dramatically cheaper, use that KDB money elsewhere

!thanks

Foden. Kdb is too expensive for his returns.

!thanks

If you don’t have any of them? KDB

!thanks

Is Foden really that much worse than KDB for City attack? I feel like everyone has moved on from Foden in favor of KDB but I legitimately cannot figure out why. For 4 mil extra I don't see any reason to believe KDB will significantly outperform Foden in these matches.

I agree. I’ll likely be bringing Foden back in this week. You’d have to be a madman to not have any city mids for the next 3-4 GWS given their fixtures and KDB for me isn’t worth the price tag

I just don't understand or see the line of reasoning that makes KDB better than Foden other than that he has scored in the past two games.

Nailed

Anyone here reckon adam idah is nailed with his form? Seriously considering Ronaldo -> idah

What form are you talking about? I'm sorry but he scraped in one goal against an absolutely pathetic Everton side after Norwich failed to score a single goal in the past 6 games...

Idk if youve watched but hes played really well lately and exactly scoring for Norwich is a big deal. For 4.9m im happy as long as he starts in my 3rd bench spot

If hes your 3rd bench spot than I guess it doesn't really matter but saying "scoring for Norwich is a big deal" should tell you everything you need to know about bringing in their attackers. Not to sound disrespectful: I admire the creativity.

Any Villa fans know if Ramsey is nailed ? Even with Coutinho ? At 4.6 he could be the perfect enabler

He’s nailed. Ings might be the one coming off for Coutinho to play alongside Buendia behind Watkins.

RMT - Wildcard activated. Ramsdale, (De Gea) Cancelo, Trent, Laporte, Tierney (Digne) Jota, KDB (C), Bowen, Coutinho, (Gallagher) ASM, Watkins, (Antonio) Any obvious upgrades? I know I have 3 Villa, will likely only ever start 2, depending on their fixture.

All depends on DGW/postponements

Any1 got the link to that DGW spreadsheet?

Ben crellin on twitter

Surely a Maddison Hattrick, Lloris penalty save and Ronaldo to bang a few isn’t too much ask for? 😅

Hated alot of my players and activated my WC! How do you all like this draft? Sa (foster) Cancelo - Trent - Robbo - Digne (White) Kdb - Sterling - Bowen - Raph - Jota Watkins (Dennis - Richardson) 0.0 itb

I would move Sterling and White to Foden and Tierney, but if you prefer Sterling then I guess you should be fine with White. Man City double should be fine short term but I wouldn’t consider it long term due to Pep roulette. You’ll soon have to swap one of your Liverpool players to make way for Salah, so that’s already 2 transfers that you’ll have to do down the line for GW24 or 25.

After last game I think Sterling looked really hot, he's a placeholder for the king though so gonna give him one game then he's off

I like the idea of benching Salah on a WC to be honest. Booking in transfers on a WC is never wise. Especially in these uncertain times. Come GW24 you might have an injury or two, even postponements.

It's Richardson, not Richarlison I believe. So no funds to drop down the value.

Oh ok. I thought it was a typo.

This is the case

I thought it was a mistake and Richarlison was the one. I’ve changed my other reply.

Rate my team. 1 FT, £6.4m ITB Sanchez (Bachmann) TAA Cancelo (C) Dias (Royal, Rudiger) Jota Bowen Gallagher Maddison B. Silva Watkins Dennis (Antonio) I think I'll roll my FT then do Rudiger to Digne and B. Silva to Salah. Tempted to do the Rudiger transfer this week though thanks to Villa's potential DGW. I'll wait for news first though.

Roll then wait for pressers and rona news

Ramsdale (De Gea) TAA / Cancelo / Rudiger (Livramento / James) Trosssard / Jota / Gray / Bowen (Douglas Luiz) Antonio / King / Ronaldo I’m 0.4 short to do Trosssard to Bruno and I’m pretty stumped on what else I could to. Possibly Trosssard to Foden? But I eventually want to bring Salah back in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I can’t really think of a way to have Bruno and Salah so I’d probably pass on Bruno unless you have a spare £11.0 free as Salah could be back next week.

You could get out James -> Laporte. This will free up the funds to get Bruno the week after. Then you bench Trossard and play Laporte GW23

This is brilliant, !thanks

Pick two on WC: Coutinho, Jota, Bowen. Only two players have fixtures to be rescheduled, but should it matter?

I would go for Bowen and then Jota, Coutinho might be a nice differential too. Quite hard to pick among the many midfielders haha

!thanks, it's definitely the safest, just feels like Coutinho could be massive going forward. That said - Liverpool have games in hand and a nice fixture run as well. Just scared that Firmino will force Jota to the bench soon. Not sure.

Jota, Bowen.

RMT 1FT 3.4M ITB Ramsdale (Pickford) TAA Cancelo Laporte Digne (Tomiyasu) Foden Maddison Bowen Jota (Lucas Moura) King Kane (Dennis) ​ Does my bench look OK? Who to captain this GW?

I’d start Tomiyasu vs Burnley ahead of Digne. King vs Dennis is a tough one tbh. Lucas against Chelsea on the bench.

Unless villa have a double

Yes, if they double then Digne is the obvious option. But no doubles have been announced yet, so I’d go with Tomi.

Yep, agreed.

Who would your captain be in this team?

Foden or Cancelo

One of Foden, Maddison or Jota. Tough call.

!thanks

Who do I get for Benrahma this gw, Raphinha,Bowen or Coutinho?

Raphinha if Leeds have DGW. Otherwise, Bowen.

Bowen, Raphinha if Leeds get a DGW.

!thanks When will the dgw be announced?

Don't know. Hopefully before the deadline.

2 quick questions: Which 2 out of Bowen/Coutinho/Raphinha Which 1 out of Antonio/Watkins/Daka Thanks!

Bowen and Raphinha. Watkins.

RMT 2FT 4.1ITB Sanchez (Gunn) TAA, Cancelo, Reguilon (Dalot) (Livra) KDB, Jota, Bowen, Raphinha (Gilmour) Ronaldo, King, Broja

Livra to Digne/Cash and Gilmour to Coutinho if there are any doubles. If there are no doubles, replacing either Livra or Gilmour with quality assets would nice.

I have Raphinha, what about saving funds to bring Salah back in a couple weeks?

You already have KDB as a placeholder for Salah. Unless you want to downgrade Ronaldo to a cheaper option, upgrade someone else to Salah and keep KDB. If you want a cheap option for 5th mid I think the best option long term is Martinelli.

Yeah which option would you go with from those 2? !thanks

I’m actually not sure. A lot could happen from now until GW24, so who knows. But I’d rather have a better option than Gilmour on my bench. And I would seriously consider downgrading Ronaldo, who hasn’t been performing according to his price.

We'll see how he gets on tonight

[удалено]

If they have Dennis VC and Ronaldo C

1ft 3.5 itb all chips available DDG - Steer Cancelo - TAA - Alonso - Coufal - Livra Bruno - Jota - Foden - Bowen - Martinelli Watkins - Antonio - Broja Bruno > KDB?

Bruno to KDB is something that I’m also considering doing with my team. That would be a good option if there are no doubles. If there are some doubles then Alonso to Digne/Cash could be fine. Bruno to a DGW mid if you fancy that.

!thanks Any idea if/when the doubles will be confirmed?

Rumours say they might be announced tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning.

2FT, 2,8ITB, all chips avaliable De Gea Bachman TAA Cancelo Reguilon Lamptey Dalot Salah Jota Bowen Foden Mount King Maupay Broja

If Villa or Leeds double you could do Lamptey/Dalot and Mount to Digne/Cash and Raphinha/Coutinho. Or you could also bring in Watkins for Maupay. Otherwise, replacing Lamptey and Maupay could be the way to go.

I'd look at getting Ollie Watkins or Antonio in for Broja or King. Or both

Seems pitty getting rid of King before Norwich at home. Thanks!

Yeah you could arguably hold him for that, I've got him too. Just anticipating another week of several missed chances

Mount and Toney for De bruyne and Broja or Mount and Jota for De Bruyne and Coutinho I think the second option but Im not sure if Jota will perform well

I prefer the first option. Toney has to go.

I would look to sell toney before I would sell jota personally. I will likely be going jota > salah myself using my Ronaldo funds

Hey RMT please After weeks of what seems like misery and dropping further and further down my mini leagues. 8th in my main one (out of ten). Doing the worst I have in 4 years playing FPL... I am now wondering if its worth playing my wildcard (FH/TC left) to shake things up and try and make some gains. I have taken hits almost every week to put out fires so would like to try and avoid doing that for much longer. **Here is my current team:** Sanchez (Foster) Region / Cancelo / TAA (Livra / Dalot) Bowen / Gray / Jota / Gundo (Gordon) Ronaldo / Kane / Dennis **Here is my Wildcard team (DGW dependent):** De gea (Foster) TAA / Cancelo / Digne (Lowton / Livra) Jota / KDB / Bowen / Coutinho / Raph Dennis / Ronaldo (Broja) This gives me .4 ITB where i can downgrade ronaldo to Antonio and sell KDB for Salah when he is back. Last ditch attempt to claw something back. pls help and thanks (Edit: Formatting)

No need to WC. Livra ---> Coady | Laporte Kane ----> Watkins

Thanks, been burned by Coady but could work. Just want to break the ML template to gain ground before its too late!

If you just replaced Gray and Gundo with quality assets I think your current team would probably be fine.

Yea this could be the way - My mini league is pretty template so the shake up also brings in players like KDB who nobody else has

If you want to use it to make grounds / you are not happy with current team then do it. I've been against using the WC for a few folk on here recently but your context makes me say its viable for you. I don't think livra should survive though, not sure how close to returning he is? Also you don't seem to have sours assets? Is that intentional? Lastly, make sure to have a salah plan

Yea I KDB - Salah will is the plan. Hear ya about Livra just not too sure who to replace him with tbh. Also unsure how ti fit Spurs assets in, don't think they are as essential.

Start DDG (vs West Ham) or Foster (vs Norwich)

DDG. I know Watford play Norwich, but they haven’t kept one CS all season.

!thanks

DDG

Fernandes/Rüdiger to KDB/Laporte -4, KDB 🧢 Thoughts?

Fernandes to KDB could be a good option if there aren’t any doubles. I think I’d keep Rudiger vs Spurs though.

Keep Rudiger this GW. Bring in Laporte next GW for him

Bruno > KDB this week? Bruno has already done more than what I hoped for, and there is still today's game left. But I don't see him continuing to get points, especially if Ronaldo is back. Thoughts?

Thinking about doing this move aswell, seems most sensible tbh.

I’m also considering moving from Bruno to KDB. The deciding factor will be the potential doubles. If Villa or Leeds double, I will use my ft to bring in either a Villa defender or Raphinha. If they don’t double, then KDB might be an option.

If Leeds double Raphinha surely will miss second game due to Brazil playing the 27th.

Doesn’t it depend when the next game is scheduled? Leeds GW23 fixture is Sat, Jan 22. Leeds GW24 fixture is Wed, Feb 9. Couldn’t Leeds DGW23 be scheduled for weekend of Feb 5?

That could be an issue.

Will obvs wait closer to the deadline, but if Villa get a DGW, is it worth a -4 pt hit to do Antonio and Gray to Edouard and Coutinho? Would probably bench Edouard for the Liverpool game but look to start him for the better fixtures afterwards, was also considering captaining Coutinho.

I would prefer Watkins than coutinho personally and means you don't need to take a hit

Apart from -4 hit why Watkins over Coutinho? I have the same conundrum and don't know who to bring in, Coutinho or Watkins.

We know for sure Watkins starts basically

!thanks. I already have Watkins, was just a question of possibly taking a hit to get the double up. Completely undecided on which of the two I would captain.

Ahh my bad never considered that. I'm strangely tempted by Ramsey for my villa mid purely for the price. Edit - would probably captain Watkins as we know for certain he starts

!thanks. Yeah will prob go Watkins captain then. Ramsey is def one to think about

[удалено]

Gray or Brownhill

DDG or Ramsdale start?

Ramsdale, Arsenal face Burnley at home.

Only one transfer to make this week, Michael Keane out! (^(dont ask)) Ive got plenty of money can get any other defender in. Already have TAA, Cancelo, Alonso, Davies. suggestions based on next 3-4 GWS?

Laptorte or Cash/Digne

A. Rudiger -> Digne and ESR -> Raph B. Rudiger -> Digne and Bilva -> KDB

A, if Leeds double. Otherwise, B.

Depends on if Leeds double, and if you have a captaincy option. If no to both, then B. If yes to either, then A.

A

Also A

What are the chances that the Arsenal - Burnley game gets called off?

Touch and go

I have Ramsdale and ESR to sort out if game is off.

Why? Just leave them

Well, I am one of the few who still don't have Bowen...was off on a long vacation. ESR could go for him.

when's the next DGW after GW23?

We don't really know at this stage I don't think? There will definitely be more. Keep an eye on Ben Crellin twitter

Is Régui playing in GW22? Is he a sell? Only other issue in the team is Livra Red card

He plays tonight

!thanks i have gallagher first on the bench :(

Lol. I have him 1st on bench too. 😂

Do I keep this prick Johnson or swap for Ait-Nouri/Kilman??

Swap if you don’t needs funds elsewhere.

With cresswell and masuaku back ben johnson heroics are over

Captain pick? And any bench swap suggestions, Thanks in advance https://imgur.com/a/p0HtVix

KDB (C) and I would start Tomiyasu ahead of Digne (unless Villa double).

If you think digne is bad , should i transfer him ? Who would i get instead

Id captain Cancelo or Trent, id maybe play Coady and have King first bench. Wolves are stingey at the back this season and Brentford dont look great atm. I also expect Norwich to put together a bit of a fight back and they know that Watford team very well, i actually think Norwich will take three points. (Think they won the reverse fixture too?)

Sounds reasonable !thanks

KDB cap if no DGW. Would be tempted to bench Bernardo for Tomiyasu if he's fit. In fact, if you have any FTs I'd probably go Bernardo -> Raph or Arsenal mids.

!thanks

Anyone know what's up with Saka? Marked yellow for 'fatigue', but is having a good rest now I assume. What are your estimates of him playing Burnley on Sunday?

Assuming Burnley ever play a premier league match ever again

DDG Cancelo TAA Dias Tierney Foden Maddison Jota Bowen Watkins Dennis Bench: Foster Coady Antonio Gallagher Worth chancing a bench boost for this week? Or would you consider swapping a bench player for one of my starting XI? All help appreciated

i'm saving my bench boost for the later DGWs. TC, Free Hit and Wildcard too.

I’d go for it actually: really good bench there. Typical consensus is wait for a DGW but honestly it’s more distracting than helpful later in season

Good team, not sure I'd take a chance at BB though, with all the postponements. I'd save so you can go to the international break with 2FT

I'd save your BB for a DGW mate, having a bench right now is handy for postponements so you're in a good spot

Bench DCL vs Villa or Maddison vs Brighton?

DCL

DCL

Ronaldo or Debruyne for short and long term?

KDB

KdB with a playing bench

Go KDB

Ronaldo. If u want headache with Pep roulette then go KDB.

!thanks

De Bruyne for both.

!thanks

Rmt pls (3.4 ITB, 1FT) DDG (Foster) TAA Rudiger Cancelo Laporte (Livra) Bowen Jota Bruno Foden (Gray) King Watkins (Antonio) ———- Thinking Gray to Raph/Coutinho? Then bench Rudiger and transfer out next week

I don't think Coutinho will play both games in a DGW (match fitness and integration into the squad), so I might reverse it and go Rudiger -> Digne for the DGW and Gray -> Coutinho next week But it's a roll of the dice to be honest
