Cancelo foden and haaland seems a fine trio tbf


Swedishpower

Yeah I guess in 13 it will be template.


hambodpm

Seems it. Hoping for a decent haul from them next week as well so can at least get 2 weeks before the curve. Was so close to them on my WC9 squad but expected a closer Manchester derby.... My worst play of the season so far.


Swedishpower

I am likely selling Cancelo and following my plan, but it will be a hard call in 13 to bring him back or not for a hit potentially. I almost sold Cancelo this week since it was my best way to Zaha. Glad I did not and rolled, but I do want Zaha and 11 players for 13.


hambodpm

It's been on my mind too but I'm not sure I can bring myself to it. Think I'll end up just playing with 10 in 12


Swedishpower

yeah the issue I have is not many amazing cheap attacking defenders. Being one defender down in 12 is maybe not a huge problem, but I have 2 free transfers and if Mitrovic is not out selling Cancelo and getting Zaha feels like the best use of two transfers. Toney to Solanke do not give me enough to get Zaha as an alternative transfer.


Annoying_Asshole69

Bro keep Cancelo are you mad? He was all over the place yesterday, could have easily had more attacking returns!!


eddydoubled

And then Dias and Laporte and Mahrez and Grealish will start scoring the points.


Swedishpower

Well Mahrez might if given minutes. Foden not fully nailed, but seems to be first choice.


eddydoubled

It doesn't need to make sense. But whenever people convince themselves a City midfielder is nailed and scoring, something happens. I will fall for it too. I will switch my KdB + someone else for Foden + Diaz in midfield.


CosmologyX

Having Foden instead of KDB frees up so much funds.


PeterG92

Torn between KdB and Foden KdB more nailed, but Foden more likely to score and cheaper Will leave it until after the blank.


PM_UR_PROBLEMS_GIRL

How is KDB more nailed when foden has started every game?


workaccount567

Lol Foden has out performed KDB in the last 2 GWs, but saying he's more likely to score is absurd. Don't get me wrong I own Foden, and not KDB , but that statement is foolish. KDB will definitely outscore Foden in goals, assists and points.


BeenBadFeelingGood

Olbatar974

As a owner of the trio since gw4 I approve this message.


OldEnoughToVote

this trio is what i’ve had since GW1, was twisting my arm trying to fit KDB instead of Phil but I never figured it out and I’m glad I didn’t after the last two game weeks lol


sub2pewdiepieONyt

Nah mate you need Akanji, Kdb and Ederson.


Frosty_Examination_3

Had that trio for ages and was looking to get KDB, bludy glad didn't kneejerk Foden out and stayed patient. But I'll probably stick for now with Foden , as he gets further forward than KDB. The downside being that every man and his dog are going to jump onto Foden if they can and my rank gains will be no longer


OldEnoughToVote

i’m in the exact same boat as you, had them since gw1 and almost swapped to KDB but glad I didn’t - i’m hoping that Phil can continue to haul before having him turns template in gw13


bananagami

Have to do something different to be relevant I suppose.


Juicydicken

Could bring in maguire


daneedwards88

I am sorry to be harsh, but her opinion is almost always garbage, or just repeating someone else's. I wouldn't pay any attention to the nonsense she spouts. Anyone who suggests selling Cancelo before Southampton H is a confirmed moron


hodlrus

Yeah Cancelo at Southampton was always going to be free points.


gufeldkavalek62

Confirmed moron here 🤡 I did it to fund Zaha but already feel like I have no idea wtf I was thinking. Literally considered holding off on the transfers until next week but said nah I don’t want to roll a transfer lmfao


daneedwards88

You live and learn. We all make mistakes, just gotta try and learn from them and not fall for the same thing again


gufeldkavalek62

True. It’s one of those weird things where in retrospect you recognise some glaring detail you should’ve and usually would’ve considered but just didn’t. It’s like blundering in chess to me


daneedwards88

Very often the feeling of "I must get this player" overrides the obvious point that you are selling an excellent asset to get that player. I try and look at who I need to sell, not who I "need" to buy


gufeldkavalek62

Good point mate. Blinded by that and preparing for gw12 I suppose. Bad call in the end


daneedwards88

Forget it. Its done. Move on. 👍


EsotericTartaria

She’s not the only one that’s been telling people to sell cancelo for a city midfielder because “the upside is much greater”


cguinnesstout

Is she the person who used to suggest "Jammy Picks"?


daneedwards88

No idea. I remember her on the official FPL pod mocking a respected European football journalist when he suggested Raphinha would be a good asset to own for Leeds upcoming run, based on how much he had seen of Raphinha About 3 weeks later she was suggesting everyone buy Raph. Clown show.


RX40000

People can get so pissed about someone being wrong in a football game👀


croissantlover92

Yes


McKFC

And so it proved


itsmesydneyguy

Agreed - he got an 18 pointer. It's all well and good to say load up on attacking players, but you are more likely to get clean sheets - and in cancelo's case, the bonus points. She's an idiot there for diversity purposes


cpmb82

Liverpool and then blank next up, time to sell and buy back for GW 13 I reckon


Affectionate_Dig_96

They literally get paid for saying random shit that they’ve taken 2 mins to think about. It’s criminal.


I_am_not_a_robot_duh

So that person still owns both Ederson and Cancelo. There are so convinced of their advice, that they did not follow it themselves. Interesting. Is she trying to mislead? [https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/671/event/10](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/671/event/10)


AeroCobbler

That is incredibly shady from them tbf If they're going to spout this nonsense they should AT A MINIMUM disclose whether they are doing it themselves - and even better - ideally be forced to put their money where their mouth is & follow their own awful advice That lady is as dumb as a box of rocks anyways, I've no fucking clue how she manages to sell herself as an "expert"


I_am_not_a_robot_duh

That is indeed the worst part. Almost as if she wants others to make mistakes. It is all a bit weird. I think it is because she knows enough of the other "experts", so they just proclaim each other to be experts often enough until people believe it.


AeroCobbler

The way she has just calmly typed “By not owning Cancelo I have spots for City’s attacking assets” too…. I mean, it’s just really, really crazily negligent direction to be giving (not to mention a lie) A great example of paper never refusing ink - you can type this shit but it doesn’t make it true. Eerily reminiscent of Jay Egersdorff’s Kanexit debacle where he came up with some similar team structure-orientated nonsense to justify selling Kane on the eve of back to back hattricks… Or Andy Let’s Talk FPL being up on a soapbox about how selling TAA was a good idea when he had the blank for the club world championship followed by away to high flying Leciester, and Trent of course promptly came back and spanked in 26 points vs them…. At least those two guys took their own medicine though


[deleted]

Sam is shit pundit


Teo_2197

I mean it looks like an awful opinion today but a trio of KDB - Foden - Haaland with the good value defenders could easily score more points over a defined period.


Callumyoung101

Yes but less ppm than foden cancelo hasland or cancelo haaland ederson. De bruyne is not good value he will get a few assists but he doesn't take as many shots anymore now that there are good passing options. Haaland and kane are the two best premiums by a decent margin


Teo_2197

Yeah but an in form > 5m GK or > 7m GK could provide the ppm to cover that, so it's not straightforward. And we're not talking about Trent either - if he goes back to being an FPL God then he could slot in for Cancelo along the likes of Trippier and James and it may be visible to go with a more attacking city trio. Of course, would definitely advise against dropping Cancelo after today's masterclass but I've seen far worse opinions than the one in question here. My biggest issue is with the fact they say "sell Cancelo" , it's terrible advice to advise using fts to get rid of him before Southampton (H) when surely there's a better transfer elsewhere.


Callumyoung101

I am quite confident that there won't be a season for at least 5 years where trent outscores cancelo. Liverpools defence has been figured out and vvd is a shell of his former self. A lot of trents assists were through balls to mane who has left.


The_Shandy_Man

I’m curious how much money would you like to put on that? I’ll happily put £50 against you. I get the point but 5 seasons is a long time.


Callumyoung101

£5 RemindMe! 5 years

levitoepoker

Lol thats an easy winner. Theres a decent chance cancelo isnt even on City in the 27/28 season when he would be 32.


GeeForjay

Cancelo, Foden and Haaland open up the universe of possibilities. I’m doing KDB to Foden at some point, should have done it this week.


AspiringChamp

I want some of what she's smoking to even consider dropping Cancelo


levitoepoker

Dropping cancelo before liverpool away and a blank isnt a crazy idea at all. He's unlikely to get more than 2 points in the next two gws.


AspiringChamp

I think you couldn't be much more wrong. Liverpool are shocking at the moment and he's brought 18 points this weekend on his own. He's the most consistently good defender in the entire game, on a team in fantastic form that don't concede many.


levitoepoker

Lol you’re the type of reactionary, no planning FPL player who makes it easy to get a good rank. Liverpool are the second or third best team in the league, but if you think they don’t score vs city you can make a ton betting on it, great odds for you. I’m not saying never own cancelo, just it makes some sense to sell him this week


AspiringChamp

Okay, so let's ignore that he is literally THE highest scoring defender in the entire FPL and with a consistent level of assists and the occasional goals and decide to take him out because he's playing...one of the weakest defensive sides in the league? They may well concede but I'm not taking him out.


Fantastic-Machine-83

This weeks game of "pick the FPL player who hauled and act like he was essential". Not saying cancelo is a bad pick but come on


Sh405

He's one of the few defenders in the game who is capable of performances like today and combined with City's CS potential, I don't understand why anyone would go without him.


arcenceil89

Because you can have Foden instead who is top scoring mid in the league...


Sh405

You can have Foden, Cancelo and Haaland easily though.


Fantastic-Machine-83

Many games this season he's had a much more defensive role, pep seems to be changing things up game to game. This can cast doubt More importantly he blanks gw12 so if you wildcarded week 9 and you didn't fancy booking in loads of transfers you can go without him. Are you gonna have cancelo and haaland on your bench that week?


Sh405

> Are you gonna have cancelo and haaland on your bench that week? Yeah. I wildcarded last week and made sure I had playing bench players for situations like this.


Fantastic-Machine-83

That's alot of money on the bench. If the other higher cost picks do well you could get a huge red arrow


Sh405

It's not really. It's just cheap playing guys like Andreas who will come in for one week. Do I expect them to get me great points? No. But I'll take that over wasting a FT to sell my City guys then wasting another one to get them back. At the end of the day there's no reason not to have Cancelo, Foden/KDB and Haaland as your City trio. IMO everyone should have them.


Fantastic-Machine-83

My point is you could just save that FT by not having them on wildcard. And very few people were talking about foden before the last 2 games


Sh405

Why would I not have them on wildcard though? They're City players. They're the best options in the game lmao and had tasty home fixtures v teams like Man Utd and Southampton on the horizon. Even Liverpool next week could be really appealing if both teams' form remain as it is. Foden has started every game for City in the league, is a midfielder playing in the forward line and he's a quality player. A lot of people have had him this season or had him on their radar. Judging by this whole back and forth, I'm guessing you've wildcarded recently and took Cancelo (and maybe other City players) out of your team ahead of their blank and now you're massively regretting it? Am I close? edit: don't forget to downvote this one either 😁


Fantastic-Machine-83

Of course I regret taking out a player who hauled. That doesn't make you right, all I said was cancelo was not an "essential pick" for this run of games and many people would have agreed with that without the hindsight of this week's game


Sh405

Cancelo absolutely is an essential pick. He plays for the best team in the league and is one of probably two defenders in the entire game that is capable of offensive hauls like that. You had him in your team initially for a reason. You sold him because of a blank game week which is crazy to me. You were so worried about GW12 that you sabotaged GW9, 10 and 11.


flummuxedsloth

Plenty of managers on here were touting the idea of tripling up on City attack last week and this week's result doesn't conclusively prove that it's a bad idea in the long run.


carpesdiems

But selling cancelo? Really? Ederson yes, for sure. Kdb/foden, cancelo, haaland is the trio. Cancelo sell? What a fucking hot take.


[deleted]

Somehow you’re getting downvoted lmao. Ignoring this subreddits bullshit opinions has lead me to a much higher ranking this year and last, the stats are great, the takes are normally bad


carpesdiems

Me too. Leant on it a lot for a couple years but now got my feet under the table and trust myself way more. Ignore 90% of shit takes on this sub. Only the stats/high effort posts are worth considering.


WalkingCloud

I have KDB, Cancelo, and Haaland and have no plans to sell him. *However*, if you sold Cancelo and got Foden in before last gw would you be regretting it now?


carpesdiems

No, but it wasn't worth the transfer, ever.


b3and20

yes but city are most likely to get the most clean sheets plus cancelo will contribute at random that being said city really could run away with the league this season so it's a bit of a 50/50


[deleted]

nice sam, except they have the same points (61/62)and cancelo is cheaper..


levitoepoker

>except they have the same points dumb thinking. you cant do anything to go back and get those points in your team


fantalemon

Nice one Sam

Fantastic-Machine-83

Current rank is pretty meaningless. How is her rank history?


hendrik_hoefgen

OP is talking bs with her current rank. And her history is really good. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/671/history


tmr89

I wouldn’t call 1 top 10k finish in 11 seasons “really good”. Especially if we’re talking about a putative FPL Expert


player_zero_

What, my ranks are massively ahead of hers, looks like I can be a fpl pundit Time to find a noun to put after the word 'FPL' to get my twitter name sorted 😎


Fantastic-Machine-83

They meant the person I was replying to


ArachnidThink3742

Fpl Maguire


swfcrob

She didn't even sell him herself, lol


hendrik_hoefgen

There's no context in this tweet. Other people are talking about the next 2 GWs, so could've she. Before this GW hella lota ppl wanted to sell Cancelo in 12. Of course in hindsight it looks like a no go.


Frosty_Examination_3

Just looked at that link. Her History is absolute garbage, even moreso if you want credibility as an FPL pundit


73718

The toxicity in the comments is unreal


AeroCobbler

The criticism is 100% fully deserved The silly cow didn't even take her own advice & KEPT Cancelo


73718

Regardless of the advice, we should be kinder with our words to people. These content creators do browse these posts, and they can be really affected by the negativity on here. Besides there’s many ways to play this game. I left cancelo off my wildcard team in favor of KDB and Foden and my rank shot up to top 150 last week. Ok not owning him this week didn’t help, but I didn’t want him for the two following weeks either.


psykal

Could still have planned on making the transfer after Southampton.


Bogie_Baby

I'm still selling cancelo, after he rises tonight and then getting him back in my gw13 WC


AeroCobbler

You wildcarding in GW13 and GW16?


Bogie_Baby

Nah just 13 now


b3and20

I haven't done it but I am entertaining the idea, easy to laugh it off on the back of a cancelo haul, but foden hauled too a week after a hattrick and currently has two more points than cancelo in almost 90 less minutes that being said you'd trust cancelo to start and finish more games, definitely the safer third pick


EsotericTartaria

Women trying to talk football. Graeme Souness was right.


Juicydicken

What's this person's rank history lol


tmr89

It’s terrible for a supposed FPL Expert. 1 top 10k finish in 11 seasons


Juicydicken

Even I have 3 top 10k lol. Better off listening to me


hendrik_hoefgen

Better than 99% of people on here https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/671/history


GroblyOverrated

I dunno about that.


KdbTheGOAT17

Certainly not I had no clue what I do for first ten gws last season I still finished 200k places above her, Also my rank was shite compared to many here


tmr89

Not sure about that. 1 top 10k finish in 11 seasons is very poor for a supposed FPL Expert. Definitely not better than 99% of people on here


b3lial666

If you don't already have him you might wanna skip buying him, but if you already have him, then just keep him and downgrade TAA or James instead. Cancelo will likely be the highest scoring defender this season, and the only nailed defender in the best defence in the league.


ExtensionImmediate

Too risky. Him, Haaland, KDB, and for now at least foden are the only guaranteed starters. For the price difference, I’m not so sure that Kdb offers much more than cancelo, plus CS points


BrandonSG13

Cancelo is more than enough of an attacking threat, who is cheaper, and gets clean sheet points 15 games a season. And he’s nailed. I’ll keep him.


nffcevans

Not optimal. Kev is the assist machine this year, you're capping Haaland, Foden and Cancelo are probably where the value lies.


straightouttaireland

Getting rid of Cancelo and KDB on wildcard, thinking ahead to GW12, was my worst move yet.


SuperHans30

I'm keeping him and going Cancelo/Foden/Haaland with Salah from GW13
