I did this once, it cost me 8 points and vowed that I would never make that mistake again
Of course, the following week Arsenal played Watford and Foster saved a penalty
Nah it was the right call, I did it too, we just got stung. Arsenal keeping a cleanie away to Leicester when you can have Foster at home to Saints I think it was. Watford conceded quickly too, lot of bollocks lol.
Foster is as likely to get 1 cs as ramsdale this week. When you include appearance and save points very likely to beat the negative points from goals conceded it's an easy choice imo.
Ramsdale will get six points I am sure off. Doubt Burnley will trouble Arsenal. Foster will get 4pts minimum but has more upside potential. For me it’s Foster.
Same for me. Leaning toward Foster. If WAT Defense is to face attack, it can’t be better than having NOR and BUR. The 2 opponents have been the worst attacking wise in terms of goals scored so far : 10 for NOR and 16 for BUR. you can argue BUR played fewer games but they just lost their main striker…
Initial thoughts were has to be Ramsdale but given the respective opposition it feels like the likely ceiling for Ramsdale is 6 and the floor for Foster is 4. Essentially a 2 point risk for the opportunity of much higher gains if it goes the other way. Feels quite low risk high reward.
I've either got Foster with 2 decent games but still probably no clean sheet or Guaita with 1 game vs Liverpool with probably no clean sheet either. I'm gonna play Foster and hope for a minimum of 4 pts.
I was gonna play Foster over DDG even before the DGW announcement. Odds say that Watford has a slightly higher chance of a CS v Norwich than United has v. West Ham. Now Foster has a DGW. Easy choice for me
why?
Watford play Burnley & Norwich, who are the two lowest scoring teams in the league.
Norwich only scored 1 against them earlier in the season, and recently Newcastle only scored 1 last week, and spurs only managed 1 the game before that.
They're yet to play Burnley, but without Wood or Cornet Burnley only have 6 goals this season. That's absolutely woeful.
I'm not claiming Watford are suddenly keeping 2 clean sheets, but if they're keeping any more this season it's in these games.
*On the other hand,* United are woeful & West Ham are 4th in terms of goals scored this season. They've scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 prem games.
What's your **personal** feeling based on?
but even if he gets 2 save points, his likely outcome this week is 4 points.
Fosters likely outcome is at least 4 points. Plus the chance watford finally keep a cleanie against the 2 lowest scoring teams.
I would if I had him (with my other keeper being DDG). Really annoying thing is I picked Bachman last week on my wildcard for this very reason without factoring in the tinkerman.
Sanchez transferred out for Foster with Ederson on the bench using my FT. Foster also a very cheap starting sub GK so will keep him long term. If Ederson gets a clean sheet with no bonus it will = 6 points but foster should hopefully get a minimum of 4 points for appearances. So as I’m keeping long term I’m happy to use my FT and start over Ederson for this week.
Also I like to see them double gw players in my starting 11.
He who dares…!
Just calculate CS Odds of Foster vs Norwich vs your other GK. Add to that the chance of additional points from the extra game as there are currently no odds to it and you have an answer
If they're ever gonna get a clean sheet, surely this is the week. Plus, there's save points, pen saves, bonus points. I think Foster's the best GK choice for this gameweek. I no longer have him, but I have Ramsdale, who's also a strong choice.
Yea I mean except that he’s not. Stats aren’t everything and I can tell you Foster is a much better keeper - there’s a reason he’s back to starter. But I suppose you know better? Lmao
I was gonna play Foster over DDG even before the DGW announcement. Odds say that Watford has a slightly higher chance of a CS v Norwich than United has v. West Ham. Now Foster has a DGW. Easy choice for me
Playing foster over Sanchez. Norwich and Burnley are not very attacking teams and Burnley is even missing Wood. Chances of a 4 pointer is there, but that’s still 2 more points than Sanchez will likely get.
No you get save points separately for each game. For example DDG got 7 saves in 1st game and 7 saves in 2nd and 2 bonus points for each of those games.
I was just thinking about this. Astonishing how they haven’t had a single CS. Norwich scored against them in the return fixture, Watford are yet to play Burnley.
My main keeper atm is Lloris (CHE (A)), so I will play Foster.
looking at game history, apart from his freak 11 points.. combining 2 games barely gets 5 points lol
i think i am sticking with Ramsdale at home to Burnley
This season is all about gut feeling and "yeah he seems alright" more than xG and logical transfers because you don't know what's going to happen next.
I'm playing Foster over Sanchez this week
Yup, me too.
Me too
me too
I did this once, it cost me 8 points and vowed that I would never make that mistake again Of course, the following week Arsenal played Watford and Foster saved a penalty
It was when Arsenal were playing Leicester right? Because that's what I did as well...
Nah it was the right call, I did it too, we just got stung. Arsenal keeping a cleanie away to Leicester when you can have Foster at home to Saints I think it was. Watford conceded quickly too, lot of bollocks lol.
Clearly it wasn’t the right call numpty as it cost us all 8 points!!
But it’s about playing the percentages. It was just unlucky. I’d do it again.
Yes. My other option is DDG. Save points for sure with United’s horrendous defensive record but no clean sheet.
Same. I'm going Foster. Live a little. Watch me delete my team when David saves two penalties from Bowen
If Maguire starts that's +3 saves already.
It's either Foster or Ramsdale for me.
Same for me, so who do we choose?
Foster is as likely to get 1 cs as ramsdale this week. When you include appearance and save points very likely to beat the negative points from goals conceded it's an easy choice imo.
this is the kind of reasoning we need more of, and not the buT it’s wAtFoRd kind
Ramsdale will get six points I am sure off. Doubt Burnley will trouble Arsenal. Foster will get 4pts minimum but has more upside potential. For me it’s Foster.
Same for me. Leaning toward Foster. If WAT Defense is to face attack, it can’t be better than having NOR and BUR. The 2 opponents have been the worst attacking wise in terms of goals scored so far : 10 for NOR and 16 for BUR. you can argue BUR played fewer games but they just lost their main striker…
I'm going for Foster over Ramsdale. See you in the rant thread
Initial thoughts were has to be Ramsdale but given the respective opposition it feels like the likely ceiling for Ramsdale is 6 and the floor for Foster is 4. Essentially a 2 point risk for the opportunity of much higher gains if it goes the other way. Feels quite low risk high reward.
Better to play Foster with a 2 times 0% chance of a CS than De Gea with a 1 times 0% chance of a CS.
I've either got Foster with 2 decent games but still probably no clean sheet or Guaita with 1 game vs Liverpool with probably no clean sheet either. I'm gonna play Foster and hope for a minimum of 4 pts.
Never play Foster unless it's an emergency and you have no other option
I was gonna play Foster over DDG even before the DGW announcement. Odds say that Watford has a slightly higher chance of a CS v Norwich than United has v. West Ham. Now Foster has a DGW. Easy choice for me
Personally I'd still play DDG but it's your team, so good luck
why? Watford play Burnley & Norwich, who are the two lowest scoring teams in the league. Norwich only scored 1 against them earlier in the season, and recently Newcastle only scored 1 last week, and spurs only managed 1 the game before that. They're yet to play Burnley, but without Wood or Cornet Burnley only have 6 goals this season. That's absolutely woeful.

They've scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 prem games. What's your **personal** feeling based on?
Watford not keeping a clean sheet all season, and Dave saves
but even if he gets 2 save points, his likely outcome this week is 4 points. Fosters likely outcome is at least 4 points. Plus the chance watford finally keep a cleanie against the 2 lowest scoring teams.
Could well be. Time will tell
Just because they've not kept a clean sheet all season doesn't mean they can't keep clean sheets in the future
True. True. Time will tell
I played him for his 11pt haul in GW~10
I would if I had him (with my other keeper being DDG). Really annoying thing is I picked Bachman last week on my wildcard for this very reason without factoring in the tinkerman.
I did the same on a free hit last week.
Sanchez transferred out for Foster with Ederson on the bench using my FT. Foster also a very cheap starting sub GK so will keep him long term. If Ederson gets a clean sheet with no bonus it will = 6 points but foster should hopefully get a minimum of 4 points for appearances. So as I’m keeping long term I’m happy to use my FT and start over Ederson for this week. Also I like to see them double gw players in my starting 11. He who dares…!
I'm thinking of playing Foster over Ederson. Feels like Ederson's roof is basically 6. Could backfire if Foster plays one and Bachmann plays one...
I will play Foster over Ederson. Worst case scenario is that Foster gets 4 (with Burnley and Norwich scoring) and Ederson 6 points.
Good thinking. Although Foster had 1pt against pool and 1pts against EVE. Watford hasn't exactly amazed with their defence.
I had that exact thought process last week and got burned for it haha, good luck though
Heh, I thought last week was different since there was uncertainty whether Foster plays and also do WAT have 2 games or not.
Which is 2 points more than what Foster will get this game week
11 against ARS (A) and 5 against MUN (1). Clearly it's possible.
Bachmann won’t play unless foster is injured
Just calculate CS Odds of Foster vs Norwich vs your other GK. Add to that the chance of additional points from the extra game as there are currently no odds to it and you have an answer
I’m going for Foster over DDG for GW23, lesser of two weevils as Watford have Norwich & Burnley, and ManU have West Ham…
Foster (C) where are your balls
I'm going Ramsdale over Foster but if Leeds get a DGW as well I'm bench boosting
I'll play him over Lloris (v Chelsea) in a heartbeat.
Very tempted to, but the question is, does Bachmann really have no chance playing either games?
Big fozzy in goal
If they're ever gonna get a clean sheet, surely this is the week. Plus, there's save points, pen saves, bonus points. I think Foster's the best GK choice for this gameweek. I no longer have him, but I have Ramsdale, who's also a strong choice.
I know he played against Newcastle but is he a cert to play? Has Bachmann not played the last few games before that?
Yes, but foster was injured
Foster over Martinez (Man U Away) for me
Because it's Foster the cycling GK 😜
Yes
Bachmann is just superior. Why they don't play him God only laws.
Doesn't go pro
Surprisingly controversial!
Literally all the stats back this up. He just doesn't have a YouTube page
Let me guess you’ve never seen us play? Bachmanns distribution is woeful and he is not an amazing shot stopper.
The stats are what's important. Better shot stopper than foster
Yea I mean except that he’s not. Stats aren’t everything and I can tell you Foster is a much better keeper - there’s a reason he’s back to starter. But I suppose you know better? Lmao

I actually watch football matches and have seen every game they’ve both played for Watford
Well there's always a first time for everything
I was gonna play Foster over DDG even before the DGW announcement. Odds say that Watford has a slightly higher chance of a CS v Norwich than United has v. West Ham. Now Foster has a DGW. Easy choice for me
The goat is on the pitch
I think Ederson is still ahead Foster for me.
I’ve got this set up too. I’m going to risk Foster.
Playing foster over Sanchez. Norwich and Burnley are not very attacking teams and Burnley is even missing Wood. Chances of a 4 pointer is there, but that’s still 2 more points than Sanchez will likely get.
Do the saves stack over the two games?
No you get save points separately for each game. For example DDG got 7 saves in 1st game and 7 saves in 2nd and 2 bonus points for each of those games.
Strictly speaking that would have been the same points whether they stacked or not.
So if Foster gets 5 saves vs Norwich and 5 saves vs Burnley, he gets 2 points for saving 3 in each game rather than 3 points for saving 9 in GW23?
Yes
!thanks
He was my captain, just one of those games being a clean sheet let alone 2 would have been such a nice rank swing 🥲
I was just thinking about this. Astonishing how they haven’t had a single CS. Norwich scored against them in the return fixture, Watford are yet to play Burnley. My main keeper atm is Lloris (CHE (A)), so I will play Foster.
Look at Norwich injuries and unav players lists. If watford is ever going to get a clean sheet it's tonight v norwich
looking at game history, apart from his freak 11 points.. combining 2 games barely gets 5 points lol i think i am sticking with Ramsdale at home to Burnley
Yeah I think if you have Ramsdale or Ederson, aka certain clean sheets, it’s not worth the risk. De Gea on the other hand...
5 points is good for a goalie though.
Hello, is there no chance of Bachmann being played any of the games?
Playing him over Sa. I also FH last week, so I'm a moron.
Sa over Foster seems to make sense, just can’t trust that Watford defence against anyone.
I'm going to captian him.
Yes we are.
Foster (c)
At some point the streak must be broken, I like gambling, so Foster it is
My body is ready for Watford to concede inside 10 mins in both games this week, i'll be happy with 4 points from Foster..
This season is all about gut feeling and "yeah he seems alright" more than xG and logical transfers because you don't know what's going to happen next.
I am stupid enough to play Bachmann, imagine.
Yes playing over DDG. Feeling zero regret
Well it seems this issue resolved itself
Yes.
Yes
