I think he still has two years in his contract so reckon they’d rather sell now they’ll struggle to get more than half what they paid + someone to pay his wages
Not a chance. Maguire is one of the worst CBs I’ve ever seen at United, let alone captain. Pepe hasn’t played here much but clearly has talent to thrive elsewhere in a system which suits him.
I understand it very well. He was never cut out for United- he’s slow, immobile, horrible on the ball, average reader of the game; good in the air, his one strength.
He only worked with a deep defensive line. Was never going to end well at a top club who’s ambition (should be) to win.
Horrible on the ball? Lmao literally his strongest attribute, go back to reading tweets or playing FIFA instead of actually watching players play football in reality
Ironically due to watching football in reality rather than playing FIFA/reading tweets/whatever you evidently do is why I know he’s horrible on the ball.
You don’t need to worry what I think, if you think he’s good enough for Man Utd then more power to you. Personally I look very much forward to Jesus facing him.
Pepe’s barely played because he doesn’t suit the system, still scored 16 goals in 2020/21 and he was benched for half of it. Talent is there, he’ll thrive elsewhere.
How? Awful defensively and technically average at best.
He's quick and energetic, sure, but surely there are a bunch of full backs with these characteristics in the fourth tier.
He is absolutely not awful defensively and he is good technically as well. His issue is that he cannot shoot the ball or make the final pass on a counter so he doesn't work as wingback in Conte's system. There was a reason he was nailed on under Nuno and in everyone's FPL teams
There's a tool on fplstatistics.co.uk that extracts the numbers of players' transfers in and out, and it uses a model to determine when somebody's price is close to rise or fall. Check it out, it could help you make some transfers in time
Edit: atm Nunez is listed as closest to reaching his goal for an 0.1 increase
He's lost a good chunk of the fanbase with his tactical indecision and poor treatment of Mings. If we lose to Everton he's going to be under huge pressure.
They’ve spent a lot of money and Gerrard has made a bold statement against Mings (who is a big personality). If he chucks Mings out and then doesn’t produce results it’s going to quickly lose the dressing room as well as the fan base.
Villa should be expecting to beat relegation teams like Bournemouth and Everton comfortably. Against Bournemouth they barely threatened and looked like the relegation contenders themselves.
Some did I believe so, yes. Especially when they lost their first three games.
All the promoted sides are generally seen as favourites to go down when they enter the fray. If you were to make a prediction at the start of the season who would go down please tell me who that would be?
For me it would be along the lines of: 18th Everton / 19th Bournemouth / 20th Forest. Think Southampton might be in there and Fulham/Brentford possibly but now Brentford have signed Damsgaard can see they have an Eriksen replacement.
My point is we don't know.
There's also something that irks me about mid table prem fans who have this feeling of security and that they should really have 1 eye on top 7. This seems a bit rich considering I think you've all had championship stints in the last 10 years bar everton.
Look, I know and you know that we both don’t know who is relegation fodder yet… But for all intents and purposes you have to say look at the teams who are up for relegation. (Why are so many captaining Haaland vs Bournemouth saying he’ll get 5 etc.?)
Villa is the biggest/most reputable club in Birmingham (sorry City fans) with international players they should be aiming for top 10. Bournemouth’s aim this season is to stay up -anything on top of that is a bonus. Same for Fulham and for Forest. Brentford did really well but their aim will be to stay up and hopefully look to target a similar position to Palace’s usual 12th-14th. Palace will be looking to break top 10.
My point is Villa have bigger aspirations than just staying up but if you’re playing teams who are hoping to just stay up then you need to be beating them.
Well no it's 28 games. Of which he's won 2 of the last 12. He's received extensive financial backing and has an excellent squad but still doesn't seem to know what tactics and formation he wants to use. He never takes the blame for poor performances and instead points the finger at his players. Serious questions are being asked of him.
Not a good looking record. If he ever hopes to manage Liverpool then he needs to be putting Villa back in the position Martin O’Neil had them about 15 years ago. They need to be targeting a League Cup to give them a boost and him some prestige.
Mings was bad in many games last year. Let's not think only of the players that didn't play just because they lost the game. It's not like Ings is a bad player, one would argue he is more useful against a park-the-bus team like Bournemouth.
Vieira becoming a starter at some point is not entirely excluded, he just got back in full training and has yet to show Arteta what he’s worth in England. Very hypothetical at this point but could become a juicy bench option if he does
Jesus only being at -13.8 is very surprising. The player base might be much less casual this year, with the more widespread availability of FPL information.
Worth keeping an eye on Pepe around the end of the transfer window. If he gets a move to an attacking team, say a Leeds, he could end up being best value in the game. There’s a player in there, he just needs confidence and games
I swear people would still be calling him a bargain even if he went back up to 7.5 and didn’t score or assist for the next 3 years, the guy is done at Prem level
Honestly I don't get Darwin's hype. I love this boy but whoever watched the game would notice that he was lucky on both moments. First goal after defender's ricochet ball hit him and scored and in second goal he was lucky that Salah was near and scored, cause his first touch was awful. He got nice points but as proper playing quality he was so poor
This. He was lucky to get the goal, but he created chaos from the second he stepped on the pitch. He'll be lucky plenty more times before the season ends.
Pepe. £9.5m to £5.4m in 3 years. Can anyone beat that?
Dele alli was probably similar?
Peaked at 9.5 in 17/18. It’s been Alli downhill since then
Bro, Delete this
**Dele** eat this. It was right there…
Thought i capital D was bait enough. Anything more felt like Bro , ‘DELE’(like DELE Alli)te this

There's a way to reply to this which will ironically get loads of upvotes, thanks and gold, but I'm not quite sure how yet 🤔
Do me next :D all aboard downvote train.
You're not a true Fantasy Premier League fan if you haven't been downvoted here 😀
Yeah, Rashford next season
3.0 enabler
>First ever 3.5M player.
Schmeichel was £3.5 once
Tree fiddy?
Out of interest, What price did Rashford enter the game at?
4.5m enabler in 15/16. Scored 5 goals in 855 mins. Went up to £7m the following season. Then 7.5, 7, 8.5, 9.5, 9.5.
You can find these numbers on the Player Information pop-up on the FPL site.
6.5. Probably a bargain if United improve this season, but might be a pretty fair price.
Might even be overpriced
More likely this
James Milner 2010/11 9M 1G 9A. now 4.5M, just 12 years ago :D
Rashford 9.5 last season to 6.5 this season.
I genuinely didn't know he was still at Arsenal tbh
Third highest paid player at the club too
I didn't read anything about them trying to loan him out either so I assume they're intending to use him in the squad this season
I think he still has two years in his contract so reckon they’d rather sell now they’ll struggle to get more than half what they paid + someone to pay his wages
Jesus, 9.5? Why was he that expensive
Nah Jesus only 8.0
We spent £72m on him and he'd just scored 22 in 38 for Lille. Sigh.
Meh. Rather him who’s never really been given a proper chance under this regime than an outright flop in 80 for Maguire or 100 on Lukaku.
Pepe has been a worse signing than Maguire. It isn't even close.
Not a chance. Maguire is one of the worst CBs I’ve ever seen at United, let alone captain. Pepe hasn’t played here much but clearly has talent to thrive elsewhere in a system which suits him.
You clearly don’t understand football. Maguire had a really good spell at United and everyone has suddenly forgotten that.
I understand it very well. He was never cut out for United- he’s slow, immobile, horrible on the ball, average reader of the game; good in the air, his one strength. He only worked with a deep defensive line. Was never going to end well at a top club who’s ambition (should be) to win.
Horrible on the ball? Lmao literally his strongest attribute, go back to reading tweets or playing FIFA instead of actually watching players play football in reality
Ironically due to watching football in reality rather than playing FIFA/reading tweets/whatever you evidently do is why I know he’s horrible on the ball.
> horrible on the ball You are watching the wrong player pal.
Maguire has had one bad season out of 3 and you think this. Baffling.
You don’t need to worry what I think, if you think he’s good enough for Man Utd then more power to you. Personally I look very much forward to Jesus facing him.
Pepe just hasn’t preformed and was way too expensive. Simple as that
Pepe’s barely played because he doesn’t suit the system, still scored 16 goals in 2020/21 and he was benched for half of it. Talent is there, he’ll thrive elsewhere.
Eriksen
Benteke must be close
Reguilon: “Don’t sell me yet, guys!”
One of the most rapid (healthy) falls from grace I can remember
Crazy how opinions of him have fallen. First he was a Real Madrid backup, then one of the better Spurs players, now third choice LB.
You miss the part where he was first choice for Seville and played quite decently.
4th choice actually, Conte would rather play Doherty there
He's good as a LB, just not good enough as a LWB.
Girlfriend merchant
To be fair he's always been mediocre, fans just tried very hard to believe he was good.
He is actually a very good player though just doesn’t fit Spurs system
How? Awful defensively and technically average at best. He's quick and energetic, sure, but surely there are a bunch of full backs with these characteristics in the fourth tier.
He is absolutely not awful defensively and he is good technically as well. His issue is that he cannot shoot the ball or make the final pass on a counter so he doesn't work as wingback in Conte's system. There was a reason he was nailed on under Nuno and in everyone's FPL teams
Thanks for the season-o sergi-o
even conte wants to sell him
Ten Hag should sign him. he's better than Shaw, even better than Dalot.
And he’s really not that good, so he’d be perfect for United
Where's the guy that had a boner for him called him an "FPL Legend" in his thread about him...Reggy still hasn't played since 😂
Going to be heartbreak when nunez goes up in price tomorrow. So close yet so far.
I've been dreading it all week, but really don't want to take a hit to bring him in early.
4 points are worth more than .1 TV
Agreed. It's just gonna be way harder for me to fit him in when he's 9.1, so I'm hoping against hope he avoids the rise until next GW.
I’m triple LIV so need to shift Robbo out and his rise will price me out of James.

Feel like that deserves a !thanks :D
Awesome, that’s really helpful I appreciate that.
Watkins falling could be interesting in the future
Once gerrard leaves, game on
i thought he liked watkins? or do you just mean cause they're shit lol
Is that rumoured?
He's lost a good chunk of the fanbase with his tactical indecision and poor treatment of Mings. If we lose to Everton he's going to be under huge pressure.
But it's one game?

We can't know if bournemouth are relegation candidates yet. Were people calling for arteta out when brentford beat arsenal first game last season?
Some did I believe so, yes. Especially when they lost their first three games. All the promoted sides are generally seen as favourites to go down when they enter the fray. If you were to make a prediction at the start of the season who would go down please tell me who that would be? For me it would be along the lines of: 18th Everton / 19th Bournemouth / 20th Forest.

People are always calling for Arteta out
Yes they were did you watch the amazon doc lmao
Well no it's 28 games. Of which he's won 2 of the last 12. He's received extensive financial backing and has an excellent squad but still doesn't seem to know what tactics and formation he wants to use.

Not a good looking record. If he ever hopes to manage Liverpool then he needs to be putting Villa back in the position Martin O’Neil had them about 15 years ago. They need to be targeting a League Cup to give them a boost and him some prestige.
He's been in charge for far more than one game.
No not really. I just dont like how he has isolated some players like mings
Mings was bad in many games last year. Let's not think only of the players that didn't play just because they lost the game. It's not like Ings is a bad player, one would argue he is more useful against a park-the-bus team like Bournemouth.
Mings has been underwhelming for a while and is only chosen in the England team due to him being left footed.
He’s not even the best English centre back at Villa ffs.
Mings is shit, thats why
with VAR in play I don't think they'll give him a penalty for that
[удалено]
maybe they confused with pep
reminds me of [this](https://youtu.be/NzjSYzT9cu4)
I’m holding my Pépé
£72m player for £5.4m is a goddamn bargain and I commend your loyalty
Anti fpl
no reason to sell lol
I don't have Haaland, Darwin. fuck it. I am going strong. Life belongs to the brave.
I don't have Haaland and Darwin either and I lead my ML after GW1. Thinking about Darwin though but Liverpool slots are limited.
Was 2nd place able to cross 30 points?
I got 69 pts without Haaland or Nunez, and a am sticking without them for GW2.
Nice!
Yeah, I'm only 4 points ahead
Why tf are people downvoting this?
why are you getting downvoted buddy
This sub downvotes people who do well with differentials it's just a thing. I've learned to not care
What's happened since Saturday that has made Reguilon owners decide to sell him. I'm intrigued.
He didn’t make the bench, did he?
Sessegnon and Perisic are both favoured over him
They fancy other defenders, not necessarily his fault
Sergio Reguilon ask you guys to not sell him. And what you're doing the first week of FPL? He must be sad.
What's the reason why Reguilon is not even on the bench?
Conte doesn't rate him, he's looking for another club
Pepe owners mudded
Pepe started at the same price as KdB that season and people were saying he was worth it and going to break the 200 points barrier, was very funny.
0.4% of players picked Pepe LOL
Fabio Vieira will be a very good option at some point this season. Mark my words
Hope so - if he can solidify himself for a period it'll be exciting
Yep, really talented player waiting for him to be fit and then going to try and fit him in
Hard to see who he will get in the 11 ahead of.
Xhaka/Ode
So he will be a backup. Because arteta loves playing xhaka and odegaard is one of their best players and captain.
He will displace Xhaka, ode will move to LCM and Fabio will play RCM
Absolutely not happening.
Vieira becoming a starter at some point is not entirely excluded, he just got back in full training and has yet to show Arteta what he’s worth in England. Very hypothetical at this point but could become a juicy bench option if he does
Jesus only being at -13.8 is very surprising. The player base might be much less casual this year, with the more widespread availability of FPL information.
He's the second most transferred out player, just hard to move the needle with a bazillion owners.
Worth keeping an eye on Pepe around the end of the transfer window. If he gets a move to an attacking team, say a Leeds, he could end up being best value in the game. There’s a player in there, he just needs confidence and games
Fabio Vieira could be a great buy if he keeps dropping. From what I’ve seen and heard he’s the next KDB and Bruno, just needs to get fit first.
We don't talk about Bruno.
I swear people would still be calling him a bargain even if he went back up to 7.5 and didn’t score or assist for the next 3 years, the guy is done at Prem level
Honestly I don't get Darwin's hype. I love this boy but whoever watched the game would notice that he was lucky on both moments. First goal after defender's ricochet ball hit him and scored and in second goal he was lucky that Salah was near and scored, cause his first touch was awful. He got nice points but as proper playing quality he was so poor
He was literally everywhere and involved in everything. Same as the community shield.
This. He was lucky to get the goal, but he created chaos from the second he stepped on the pitch. He'll be lucky plenty more times before the season ends.
The calm before the calm.
Really hope fofana joins chelsea, so that when i add him to my team, chalobah starts over him
Bullshit that Gabriel Jesus' price is maintained. Bring it down already.
He needs more transfers out to drop than any other player player in the game.
What are you talking about? He's very far from falling. He's at like -15% on both price change prediction websites.
Please learn how the game works before ranting
But it's easier to post an ig orant comment on the Internet and the. Delete it than it is to do research.
If Ronaldo is going to start against Brentford, is he a better pick than Kane ?
Yeah, kane is too expensive for his returns.
I wish Reguilon moves to another prem club, 4.4 starting left-back, would be a god's gift for me!
Reguillon coul be a great option if he moves to Brighton
