WALKER OR DIAZ? I HAVE 6 MIL BCS I AM SWAPPING FOR JAMES BCS SPURS WILL PROBABLY SCORE. I HAVE IN CONSIDERSTION THAT WALKER WILL B MORE LIKELY TO MAKE AN ASSIST BUT I DONT KNOW IF HE IS THE TYPE TO GO FORWARD ON ATTACKS
I don't think so. Pep could easily rotate and/or sub key players off early. Plus Bournemouth actually looked pretty organised at the weekend so I think City may score less than what a lot of people are predicting.
Think Jorginho is a bad Fantasy asset, specially at his price point, unless you expect Chelsea to have an abnormal amount of penalties for them. Though if you don't have money ITB I can't think of a good straight swap
TC is a big mistake. You'll regret it when Salah gets a big double in gw36. I'm in Haaland, but Salah is equally good, don't overthink it. Either could blank, either could haul.
Team is okay, what's your current team? If you've been at all engaged before gw1 a gw2 WC is probably unnecessary. If this is just to get Darwin in then don't
Walker seems like a decent pick, though he has a 6 point ceiling while digne has potential for double digits. Of course Digne's floor is negative tho haha, not a pick for the the faint of heart.
I have Rashford and think I am starting him. He was poor and missed 2 great chances, but the fact that he had these clear chances shows that he was well positioned, and can get some tap ins against a weaker side. United also used 5 subs and he stayed on in a game they were chasing goals, so I hope they have faith on him and he keeps starting.
Suppose you're transferring our Kane for Mitro to have 6m in the bank? If you really have no faith on Bailey think Saka would be a good option, though I suppose Bailey cannot be that bad if so many people rated him, maybe they just had a really off game. Do you have no other playable midfielders to field alongside Salah for this GW?
almost same team(walker for james and martinelli for saka) . I'd say martinelli instead of saka. both start and play 60+ mins . plus I feel martinelli is a better cheaper option. save 2 mil. and get meslier and better subs.
Bailey only Villa attacker to get 90 min. Also Everton home the only game he returned in last season (Goal + Assist). In same predicament as to what to do with him this week.
Haven't watched the Villa game myself, but as far as I read Villa and Bailey in particular were very poor, so I'd probably go for the other 2? Tho it seems like one of those scenarios that no matter what you choose, the one you bench is gonna return.
I’d be looking to replace Odegaard with Martinelli and Vardy with Jesus over the coming weeks. Then you have a bit of spare change for an upgrade elsewhere
Who else do you have? Haaland is the obvious choice. Salah also has a horrible record for gw2 (since joining Liverpool he has 5 appearances on GW2 and only two assists as returns).
I’d have at least one of the big 3 defenders (TAA/robbo/Cancelo) but you look to have gone big in the midfield instead so if that’s your choice looks good. see how it goes 👍
Depends why I guess? If it's just cause of the Chelsea fixture I think he still have a decent chance of scoring and a good patch of games afterwards. But if you're scared of rotation I think it's fair enough, though I'm not sure how much of a risk that is.
If you're transferring in I'd go for Foden. Think he'll have more minutes this season and City have a very menacing threat in the front now, which will grant him either more assists or more space to score his own. But as with most city assets, you're transferring him in for the long run, he will get benched and get 1 minute cameos at random games.
If you have FT, spare 0.5m and you're happy with the rest of your team, I would do it now. Brentford away is not an easy fixture. GW3 they play Liverpool at home. I may be biased as a Chelsea fan, but I watched the Brighton game and I wouldn't keep any of their assets in my squad. About replacement, consider Maddison or Mount (assuming you already have Díaz or another 3rd scouser)
I honestly have no idea why you would move out Martinelli unless you hear news that he isn’t going to be playing. He is likely to be part of many Arsenal attacking returns so you aren’t really gaining anything by going Martinelli —> Saka
That's a -12 (correct me if I'm wrong), downgrade of 3 players for a sideways transfer. Unless Saka scores a hattrick and Martinelli blanks, you've lost points (and a free transfer you could carry on). It's a very unlikely to happen gamble.
Martinelli/saka is a sideways move not really worth a transfer at this point. Also don’t use a transfer on a keeper unless neither of your keepers are playing.
If I were to do a move like that I'd want some solid stats to back it up. We don't have any yet so I'd say go with the low risk move and start Kulusevski.
Solid team and very close to the template. Nothing to do now IMO but keep an eye on Zinchenkos minutes and I also have bailey who may be next on my radar to swap out
Does anyone know how often the API is updated for transfers in/out? I just started using the API and hoped it would be live, but it doesn't seem to have updated in the last 10 minutes i've been playing with it.
To answer my own question it seems to be every 30 minutes at 07 and 37. I assume something internally runs every 30 minutes and it takes 7 minutes to get to the price changes.
People will give it shit because you're taking out Jesus but I don't hate it. He looks a good player and Liverpool are a far, far better team than Arsenal. If and when he nails down a starting role we're all going to have Nunez. He's a different striker to Firmino and Jota, he doesn't seem to drop deep as much and looks like he'll be on the end of a lot of chances as he stays central, if you can get a guy for 9m who is going to get a good percentage of the chances for one of the best attacks in the league it's a no brainer
For what it is worth, the data and models suggest starting James over Rashford but it’s your game. If you think Rashford is going to score two against Brentford and Chelsea are going to lose 2-0 against Spurs, I’m not going to tell you not to listen to your gut and make your own decision and play your own game. I trusted my gut and said Brighton would beat Man UTD. 🤷♀️
The data suggests James over Andreas but it’s your game and I can understand the reasoning. If you really think Andreas is going to fire in a corner to Mitro and get an assist against a poor Wolves defence while Chelsea lose 2-0 to Spurs, go for it. I won’t tell you not to take risks. But just be aware the data and models other players use suggest James is more likely to return despite the difficult fixture
RMT:
[удалено]
!fplbot Salah vs Crystal Palace
Sanchez (Ward)
Is Lamptey 4 or 4.5?
Start 2:
Mount & Andreas
Definitely mount. Dunno about other two.
RMT
Martinez from Man U?
What's Fred doing here
Is it worth wc to get in kulusevski, martinelli and haaland (and ward) to replace raya coutinho grealish de bruyne and a 4.5m striker?
I like the changes you have but WC after 1 GW is always risky. Would hold the knees.
Nah, after this weekend you'll probably want a bunch of other players
https://imgur.com/a/ReADeeU
I would just roll.
Lingard and Rice… both enablers in my team, but I need to bench one & play the other. Which one?
why would you pick Rice as enabler while there are other 4.5m better midfeilders?
The sun will shine on Ronaldo again. Im telling you guys 10.5 will be a bargain after the 1st of September
WALKER OR DIAZ? I HAVE 6 MIL BCS I AM SWAPPING FOR JAMES BCS SPURS WILL PROBABLY SCORE. I HAVE IN CONSIDERSTION THAT WALKER WILL B MORE LIKELY TO MAKE AN ASSIST BUT I DONT KNOW IF HE IS THE TYPE TO GO FORWARD ON ATTACKS
WALKER BUT NOT SURE ID MAKE THE MOVE JUST YET
No need to shout.
Is Chilwell going to keep his place at LWB or will he be rotated with Cucuerella?
I think Cucu will be LCB
he will be rotated but he will start next game I recon since he did well and earned a pen
RMT!
Looks great. Obviously Mount/Kane have bad fixtures, but I would keep the faith for now.
Start one out of: Bailey, Neto, Andreas. I think Neto, although Fulham were good last week.
Yeap still Neto. Villa is awful and Andreas isn't as good as Neto
Who would you swop Jorginho for (6.0m) with 0.3m ITB? Have Drewsbury-Hall on the bench
Harrison or Martinelli, attacking wingers with great fixtures
Bruno G or Rodrigo maybe then
Downgrade KDH to Andreas then you have a bit more
With no Haaland, should I go Son to KDB to cover the City romp?
I don't think so. Pep could easily rotate and/or sub key players off early. Plus Bournemouth actually looked pretty organised at the weekend so I think City may score less than what a lot of people are predicting.
Nah I don't know is there need to. Spurs have great fixtures in gameweeks 3-6
Will lamptey play against Newcastle?
Is ronaldo staying? Could’ve had an assist, Will be taking pens, Will have something to prove
good player. my goat. but not worth the 10.5 imo
Avoid him. Not worth of his price
RMT😃
Think Jorginho is a bad Fantasy asset, specially at his price point, unless you expect Chelsea to have an abnormal amount of penalties for them. Though if you don't have money ITB I can't think of a good straight swap
Roll the FT. Keep an eye on Grealish though.
TC is a big mistake. You'll regret it when Salah gets a big double in gw36. I'm in Haaland, but Salah is equally good, don't overthink it. Either could blank, either could haul.
I think of using my wildcard for GW2, thoughts on this team?
Team is okay, what's your current team? If you've been at all engaged before gw1 a gw2 WC is probably unnecessary. If this is just to get Darwin in then don't
Would you guys start Bailey (EVE) or Trippier (BHA)?
I'd go Bailey, Everton's defence suffering a lot of injuries atm and I wouldn't back Newcastle to keep a clean sheet away to a top half side
Trippier
Trippier
is Almiron nailed? What's up with Ryan Fraser?
He's not nailed but he's first choice
Bench one out of James, Trippier and Bailey
Bailey
Bailey
So close to doing digne to walker. Steven gerrard has no clue what he is doing.
Digne has to go. 9 pts from 36 for Villa. But Everton w/ zero strikers is easiest fixture of the season.
Walker seems like a decent pick, though he has a 6 point ceiling while digne has potential for double digits. Of course Digne's floor is negative tho haha, not a pick for the the faint of heart.
Do I start Toney or Dalot this week?
Toney easily. United sucks, Brentford is decent
toney
I went Mahrez instead of Kulu and I can feel my knees twitching…
The knees are weak
Lowkey, Ronaldo might have to come into my team. Going to put him in on my Ipad account. Lets see how he does.
🪦 your iPad team
Bailey, Rashford, Andreas.
Bailey and Rashford easily
Rashy and andreas.
I have Rashford and think I am starting him. He was poor and missed 2 great chances, but the fact that he had these clear chances shows that he was well positioned, and can get some tap ins against a weaker side. United also used 5 subs and he stayed on in a game they were chasing goals, so I hope they have faith on him and he keeps starting.
I’d start knee and jerk
Wouldn’t start a United asset but Villa didn’t look any good either
Start Andreas or Guimaraes?
Bruno, Newcastle looked dangerous GW1
Worth a -4 to replace Bailey? 6 mil in the bank. Could go to Foden/Saka this GW, but -4.
Would't take hit either.
Suppose you're transferring our Kane for Mitro to have 6m in the bank? If you really have no faith on Bailey think Saka would be a good option, though I suppose Bailey cannot be that bad if so many people rated him, maybe they just had a really off game. Do you have no other playable midfielders to field alongside Salah for this GW?
I’d avoid hits this early (especially for a 5m enabler) but out of curiosity what is the transfers it would take?
Im trusting Bailey he will stay in my team for atleast 2 more gws
Yeah no need to get him out yet
After reading many posts here, went for the most logical/common team I could... I think. Anyway, RMT:
Diaz < Darwin
I would probably go Robertson over TAA if had to choose one.
Stick with Salah - Have a good life
Looks nice 👍, would not get rid of Salah he’s the FPL king
What are you doing with Bailey?
Probably start him, may punt on Andreas instead this week.
Still starting him as none of my bench options are attractive, he’s their as a cheap enabler
RMT, please
Hold the FT. This is a solid team.
almost same team(walker for james and martinelli for saka) . I'd say martinelli instead of saka. both start and play 60+ mins . plus I feel martinelli is a better cheaper option. save 2 mil. and get meslier and better subs.
Start 2 out of the 3 this week.
Trippier and Neto
Bailey only Villa attacker to get 90 min. Also Everton home the only game he returned in last season (Goal + Assist). In same predicament as to what to do with him this week.
Trippier and neto
Haven't watched the Villa game myself, but as far as I read Villa and Bailey in particular were very poor, so I'd probably go for the other 2? Tho it seems like one of those scenarios that no matter what you choose, the one you bench is gonna return.
RMT!
Don’t sit Dier. He just scored a goal. Chelsea attack hasn’t even properly clicked yet
I’d be looking to replace Odegaard with Martinelli and Vardy with Jesus over the coming weeks. Then you have a bit of spare change for an upgrade elsewhere
Roll the transfer and keep an eye Nunez. You can easily do Vardy to Nunez if he starts and looks good against Palace
currently with sole striker jesus, squad with KDB & Salah, should i take hit and change KDB to haaland
Do you think Haaland will outscore KDB for at least 5 points to make up for the hit?
Captain Salah or Haaland? Also considering triple captain too
Going with Haaland myself
Who else do you have? Haaland is the obvious choice. Salah also has a horrible record for gw2 (since joining Liverpool he has 5 appearances on GW2 and only two assists as returns).
At the risk of angering the fpl gods given Salah's GW2 trends, I'm going to say Salah.
Haaland no TC.
WALKER vs CASH?
Walker easily. Villa looks terrible and only has two good fixtures
I would not spend 5m on a defender from a bottom half side
I’d guess Walker, looks like starting RB for City
RMT going into GW 2
A bit of a waste to put Alison in your team. Could use a Liverpool outfield player.
🟢 Your advice👇
I’d have at least one of the big 3 defenders (TAA/robbo/Cancelo) but you look to have gone big in the midfield instead so if that’s your choice looks good. see how it goes 👍
11 mil on keepers is too much especially when you've got Salah, Haaland and Son. Not wild about ASM or Thiago Silva. But other than that it looks ok.
Say Haaland scores 2 again vs. Bournemouth... he would almost certainly be 12.0 going into GW3, given he's on the way to 11.7 this week
Is it worth spending FT to switch from kulu to saka... I'm tempted
Depends why I guess? If it's just cause of the Chelsea fixture I think he still have a decent chance of scoring and a good patch of games afterwards. But if you're scared of rotation I think it's fair enough, though I'm not sure how much of a risk that is.
Saka has Leicester at home and Kulusevski has Chelsea away.
Nah
Ward TAA Romero Cancelo Fornals Salah Bailey Martinelli Haaland Darwin Jesus
Yeah I don't think McGinn is a very good pick and Aaronson has great fixtures
Rashford starting and Dasilva first bench or the other way around?
Foden or Walker as a 3rd MCI this week?
If you're transferring in I'd go for Foden. Think he'll have more minutes this season and City have a very menacing threat in the front now, which will grant him either more assists or more space to score his own. But as with most city assets, you're transferring him in for the long run, he will get benched and get 1 minute cameos at random games.
If Foden is playing, Foden on paper has way higher chance of any attacking returns & bonus points than Walker.
Should i wait another week before binning Sancho? Utd look so poo.
Kulusevski or put in Diaz 💦
If you have FT, spare 0.5m and you're happy with the rest of your team, I would do it now. Brentford away is not an easy fixture. GW3 they play Liverpool at home. I may be biased as a Chelsea fan, but I watched the Brighton game and I wouldn't keep any of their assets in my squad. About replacement, consider Maddison or Mount (assuming you already have Díaz or another 3rd scouser)
Dias looked pretty good if you don't already have 3 Liverpool, was unlucky not to score.
Unrelated but is having 3 Gooners a good idea? They look good but if they lose, which will happen, your team won't be looking good.
[удалено]
I honestly have no idea why you would move out Martinelli unless you hear news that he isn’t going to be playing. He is likely to be part of many Arsenal attacking returns so you aren’t really gaining anything by going Martinelli —> Saka
That's a -12 (correct me if I'm wrong), downgrade of 3 players for a sideways transfer. Unless Saka scores a hattrick and Martinelli blanks, you've lost points (and a free transfer you could carry on). It's a very unlikely to happen gamble.
Martinelli/saka is a sideways move not really worth a transfer at this point. Also don’t use a transfer on a keeper unless neither of your keepers are playing.
Worth benching Kulu over a N. Williams or Andreas this week?
If I were to do a move like that I'd want some solid stats to back it up. We don't have any yet so I'd say go with the low risk move and start Kulusevski.
Why would you bench your premiums? Why did you pick them if you think they won’t out perform a 4 million defender?
No. He is in good form
Stick or twist with Mahrez?
Stick with him this week. See where he falls with the pep roulette
Is it worth doing Dias to Walker and use the 1m somewhere else?
It could be a good move, but no reason to do it now and not wait until you have two FTs and can do something with the money
New to FPL pls tell me if there's anything wrong or na?
Nearly the same team as mine. Keep an eye on Nunez for future GW’s and city signing any full back that may threaten walker’s minutes
Your team is excellent no fires to put out save your transfers and roll over to GW3 and make any decisions then
Solid team and very close to the template. Nothing to do now IMO but keep an eye on Zinchenkos minutes and I also have bailey who may be next on my radar to swap out
A) Martinez -> ward = free up some money for better defenders next GW
Roll the transfer.
B) Trippier
[удалено]
Probably Dier.
rashford
Who would be the best mid to have on team for 5.5mil or under. I already have bailey
I still like Neto, he looked good at the weekend
Mendy (Ward)
Need to go bigger at the back. Son would be a better FPL option than KDB. Maybe look at Watkins to Jesus as he’s got good fixtures for the next 4W
You're right. This is a train wreck, no offence intended.
Does anyone know how often the API is updated for transfers in/out? I just started using the API and hoped it would be live, but it doesn't seem to have updated in the last 10 minutes i've been playing with it.
To answer my own question it seems to be every 30 minutes at 07 and 37. I assume something internally runs every 30 minutes and it takes 7 minutes to get to the price changes.
Henderson
Yeah easy decision to roll the transfer, looks good
I was looking into Bowen (and west ham in general) and I was hoping for some (fan) inside info.
[удалено]
Where is Salah 😨
I don't think it's worth a -4.
I want to replace Jesus for Darwin Nunez. Nunez seems like he'll be impactful.
People will give it shit because you're taking out Jesus but I don't hate it. He looks a good player and Liverpool are a far, far better team than Arsenal. If and when he nails down a starting role we're all going to have Nunez. He's a different striker to Firmino and Jota, he doesn't seem to drop deep as much and looks like he'll be on the end of a lot of chances as he stays central, if you can get a guy for 9m who is going to get a good percentage of the chances for one of the best attacks in the league it's a no brainer
Watch your rank drop next GW onwards
If it's done already there's nothing we can say really. I hope it does you well.
Dier or Azpilicueta ?
Neither. I’d pick up trippier.
Azpi
Ward
good team
Good replacement for Bailey?
Andreas
Who to start, James against Spurs or Rashford against Brentford?
For what it is worth, the data and models suggest starting James over Rashford but it’s your game. If you think Rashford is going to score two against Brentford and Chelsea are going to lose 2-0 against Spurs, I’m not going to tell you not to listen to your gut and make your own decision and play your own game. I trusted my gut and said Brighton would beat Man UTD. 🤷♀️
James
Should I stick with Coutinho or replace him with Grealish or Aaronson
I'd keep him one more week.
GW2 question. Start Andreas Pereira (Wolves - A) or Reece James (Spurs - H) ???
The data suggests James over Andreas but it’s your game and I can understand the reasoning. If you really think Andreas is going to fire in a corner to Mitro and get an assist against a poor Wolves defence while Chelsea lose 2-0 to Spurs, go for it. I won’t tell you not to take risks. But just be aware the data and models other players use suggest James is more likely to return despite the difficult fixture
Pereira might not be a bad shout. Chelsea look woeful in defence and so do Wolves having gone to a back 4.
James
[удалено]
Terrible hair. On a serious note, prepare for Pep rotation
Salah or Haaland for (C) ?
Very tough.
It's close but I'm going with Haaland
Who else is considering subbing Bailey out for Periera?
I'm thinking of doing this or transferring Bailey to KDH. Bailey seems useless
