current draft

[fervent ridge]

Salah for that price isn't worth it

You can get the same output from 7.5-8.5 mids

[novel nacelle]

he has been worth it for that price 5 seasons in a row

[languid burrow]

speak to me when he pops off against bournemouth

[fervent ridge]

Sometimes from 6.5

But come on

[hardy vault]

I’m on the Diaz train soon. He is so electric

[languid burrow]

it’s either u get him this week or not at all imo

[amber raptor]

there may be cheaper ways into that liv attack

[fervent ridge]

But with HAAALND in your team that accounts to a QUARTER of your budget gone

[hardy vault]

Think Foden to Diaz for me

[fervent ridge]

More than a quarter

[novel nacelle]

so what

[amber raptor]

i didnt watch the city game how was he

[fervent ridge]

So what?

[novel nacelle]

its salah/pedro vs 2 mids

[fervent ridge]

You get a weaker midfield

[novel nacelle]

salah and pedro both looked great

[hardy vault]

Mediocre

[novel nacelle]

and salah has bournemouth at home

i dont have a weak midfield

[near agate]

ima captain salah next week

[novel nacelle]

how is this weak

[near agate]

I have hope

[fervent ridge]

That is the ONLY good fixture they have in the long-term

[languid burrow]

oh no!!!!

[fervent ridge]

Ah so you've opted for 3-4-3

[novel nacelle]

pool have necastle sure

then villa wolves west ham

[languid burrow]

saying wolves away west ham home even villa home are bad is disingenuous

[novel nacelle]

west ham and wolves are good fixtures

[tepid salmon]

Need Shaw haul

[novel nacelle]

villa just conceded 5

[fervent ridge]

But aren't good either

[novel nacelle]

and our best defender is injured

[fervent ridge]

They're mediocre

[novel nacelle]

they are good

[languid burrow]

huh?

[novel nacelle]

wolves and west ham are good

and given how villa played yesterday

[languid burrow]

bro i wouldn’t have rash if he didn’t have wolves

[novel nacelle]

thats a good fix as well

[languid burrow]

straight up

[fervent ridge]

Ok

Then let's compare other team's fixtures

[novel nacelle]

yes pool have better fixtures than utd

[languid burrow]

i would argue this too

[near agate]

got 70 pts w Bruno and rashy left to play

[languid burrow]

yeah nice

[novel nacelle]

utd have 2 good fixtures and thats it

including this gw

which isnt worth considering

since we are talking about future gws

so utd have 1 good fixture basically

[near agate]

Should I transfer gab out for saliba?

[novel nacelle]

probably not

[hardy vault]

Timber out right? So Gab is safer now?

[novel nacelle]

apparently the system arsenal tried didnt really work

[fervent ridge]

Liverpool,Arsenal,Man United

I'm not including Chlesea and Spurs cos their midfield picks don't stand out yet (apart from Maddison)

[novel nacelle]

arsenal's fixtures aren't obviously better

everton, fulham, palace could all be close games

[fervent ridge]

Would you rather have a midfield consisting a midfield of:
Salah-8/7.5-Rashford-Saka-6.5
OR
Bruno-Saka-Martinelli-Rashford-8/7.5

[novel nacelle]

well i dont have a 6.5

[fervent ridge]

Assuming you have Joao Pedro and Haaland and ST

[novel nacelle]

i have 3 fdws

and im happy with all of them

[fervent ridge]

Ok,3-4-3 on the first case

Which one would you choose and why?

[languid burrow]

A

[novel nacelle]

the one i chose

[fervent ridge]

(First one restricts flexibility,2nd one gives you a freedom of making moves long-term)

[novel nacelle]

chelsea looked great and they have the easiest fixture run of any team

[languid burrow]

not flexibility!!!!

what will i do!!!!!

[novel nacelle]

352 is less flexibility

[languid burrow]

plenty of flexibility

[fervent ridge]

Take hits!!!!!

[languid burrow]

cap

i’m set up great for the medium-long term

double chelsea with easy avenue to 3rd, already have a spurs mid, short-term punts ✅

[fervent ridge]

The only con i see from 3-5-2 without Salah is that it will be a bit tough affording a >7m forward and above

(Unless you get a 6.5 mid)

[novel nacelle]

which is why i went 343 with jackson

[fervent ridge]

With Salah it'd be complicated owning a 3-5-2

So 3-4-3 is more suitable

Sure

But the key issue of mine is

As much as little it can be

Midfielders get a point more per goal than forwards

Right?

[tepid salmon]

play flekken over turner right?

[languid burrow]

i’m playing turner over johnstone

[languid burrow]

yes?

[tepid salmon]

who does Johnstone have

[languid burrow]

forwards get more bps for a goal

relax

[novel nacelle]

it doesnt matter when jackson’s fixtures are so good

[languid burrow]

arsenal home

[fervent ridge]

It depends on the situation

[tepid salmon]

wait why, shouldn’t they get less just like how they get less fpl points than mids

[fervent ridge]

But one point more per player in the long-term will give you a difference

[tepid salmon]

ah that’s fair then

[hardy vault]

Watch my Foden into Diaz transfer backfire 🤦‍♂️

[fervent ridge]

Now that relies on consistency too

[tepid salmon]

play flekken or turner?

[languid burrow]

u did it already?

[hardy vault]

Yea

[languid burrow]

gl

[hardy vault]

[languid burrow]

should have come here first bro

[novel nacelle]

feels kneejerky

[hardy vault]

Its kneejerky

But I did it!

[fervent ridge]

But the key issue of mine with Salah is that cheaper midfielder can put the same output in returns as the former can

[languid burrow]

i see nothing that suggests that

[fervent ridge]

And you can spread your budget better overall in your assets

[fervent ridge]

Martinelli getting more points than Salah this GW

[languid burrow]

which reduces your capacity to reach salah

[fervent ridge]

ALTHOUGH that's only GW1

[hardy vault]

Chilwell felt really good tho. Glad I have him

[fervent ridge]

But ok

[languid burrow]

short term

GW1 before teams have settled

[fervent ridge]

We take last season

[novel nacelle]

none of them that i don’t own looked that good except for maddison

[fervent ridge]

When Rashford was consistent after the world-cup break

[novel nacelle]

i have rash anyway

[tepid salmon]

Maybe I’ll get salah on gw9 wc when he has nice fixtures and I have a higher team value hopefully

[fervent ridge]

Did he put the same output,if not more,as Salah did for like

4m less?

Yes

[languid burrow]

when

[hardy vault]

I’m on 64 with Onana Bruno Rash left HoPiUM

[fervent ridge]

Then why wouldn't the likes of Saka,Martinelli,Bruno do that too?

[languid burrow]

nothing suggests u can’t go for 2 assets that both look good

rash was 6.5 last szn

[fervent ridge]

GW17-GW27 iirc

[novel nacelle]

yeah its irellevant

when i own both

[fervent ridge]

He was just returning consistently

[languid burrow]

ik i meant to quote “when0

[fervent ridge]

I remember that

But still,remember last season when people owned both Salah and Haaland early on last season?

[languid burrow]

yeah

and i could afford to hop on the rash types

[fervent ridge]

Weren't there cheaper midfielders who were doing better than Salah?

AT the same period

[languid burrow]

post ur team

[fervent ridge]

While Salah was inconsistent

[languid burrow]

i’ve gone through the same arguments for like a month now

around salah in this thread

[fervent ridge]

gw1 or gw2 team?

[languid burrow]

idm

[fervent ridge]

Ok

[languid burrow]

unless you’ve already made a transfer

[fervent ridge]

1.5 ITB

Every single midfielder so far has scored more points than Salah

[languid burrow]

that white pick is a clear example of having too much money itb and not knowing what to do with it

bro play ur game and i’ll play mine

[fervent ridge]

Not really

[languid burrow]

be fr

[fervent ridge]

I attempted getting him as a differential and opposing Gabriel

Cos it's easy to say that

Unless he starts playing as a CB now then he can easily be switched

For someone else who's 0.5 less

Gvardiol for example

It's not really an issue

The only issue is that can Arsenal keep CSs

[languid burrow]

but i thought we weren’t looking to take hits smh

[fervent ridge]

You can switch him in GW3

Simple as that

Without any hits

By then we'll have a clearer picture on the standout picks too

[languid burrow]

i mean bro u do u - but there are plenty of routes to go salah there - w/o compromising

i mean true but surely then u could argue that salah offers more options for those very same standout picks

[fervent ridge]

Each person has it's own perspective/s and I'm totally alright with that

And I'm not saying you're wrong

I'm just giving an argument against it

And reasons behind

[languid burrow]

yeah nw

i’ve been debating it all preseason in this thread haha

[fervent ridge]

You can spend that 4m on some part of the team where you can strengthen it overall

[languid burrow]

it’s the same every season though

[fervent ridge]

And NOT just accumulate points by a couple players individually

[languid burrow]

what’s so special abt this season in particular

[fervent ridge]

But collectively

[fervent ridge]

Prices deflating every season

The main thing is that the midfield has so many picks for cheap,you don't need to spend 12.5 on one slot

[languid burrow]

[fervent ridge]

6.5-8.5 is the good spectrum of obtaining good,nailed,and consistent midfielders

[languid burrow]

but we’re agreed that salah is the second best asset in the game if prices were the same for every player

yes or no

[fervent ridge]

That can,not will(because they don't score every single week),accumulate as much points as Salah

Kdb is a ded asset so he doesn't count

And i don't think it's not a bad idea giving a try

[fervent ridge]

Who's 1st?

[novel nacelle]

you have bruno/mart and i have salah/jackson

[languid burrow]

haaland

[fervent ridge]

Ah

[novel nacelle]

barely even a price difference

[fervent ridge]

I thought you meant specifically midfielders

Well i would agree

Of course

But the issue is

This is by taking account a fantasy alternative

[languid burrow]

okay so it makes logical sense to try and fit in that asset

[chrome flint]

tf 300 messages

what have i missed

[languid burrow]

u have 1.5itb yes?

[fervent ridge]

The issue is pricing

That's why I'm anti

Not that he's shit

[fervent ridge]

Yes

[novel nacelle]

not having salah gives you 1 million more in midfield to spend than me

1 million

[languid burrow]

u can easily manage the 3.5 to move rash to salah - white down to gabriel(v.similiar asset), udogie to 4.0, (scores same points on bench) that’s easily 2.5

[fervent ridge]

The bench gets weaker

Another issue

[languid burrow]

not the bench!!!

the bench doesn’t play

baldock got the same points as udogie

[fervent ridge]

Udogie is in my bench

[languid burrow]

if ur worried abt that

[fervent ridge]

Itb?

[languid burrow]

yes

2.5 itb w/ hardly sacrificing anything

[fervent ridge]

But hold ip

What about the 3rd forward?

Because we are talking about 3-5-2

You'd downgrade someone

[novel nacelle]

its jackson/salah vs mart/bruno

pretty much

[fervent ridge]

Yea but you'd downgrade someone worthy to get 2.5

You'd be on -2m

[novel nacelle]

i only downgraded defence and bench

[languid burrow]

yeah

talking abt ur team here

u have 2.5itb from that

i take it u did the 1.5itb to go pedro to jackson GW3

why not start with jackson and get the 1.5itb that way

all good fr tho interested to see how it plays off medium term until GW8

[fervent ridge]

That's the span I'm considering although i wouldn't rule out pushing as far as GW12

[patent moon]

This is exactly what made me go for salah. Didn’t want a midfield of double ManU double arsenal

[fervent ridge]

It's personal prefence and the ideas you have over the longer term so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I still don't agree on having Salah though

It just,not right to some extent

I believe only having Haaland as a legitimate premium is enough,the rest of the team assets can cover

[novel nacelle]

but i dont have any cheap players except for udogie and pedro

having salah is basically no sacrifices

[patent moon]

In the beginning of a season I want variety in teams. You don’t know who’s gonna kick off and who’s gonna disappoint.

[fervent ridge]

There are plenty of unknowns in terms of players etc

That's for every season

[patent moon]

Exactly so better to disperse

[quaint trout]

keep this chat alive

[languid burrow]

beep boop

[next temple]

captaining rashy

Trust

[novel nacelle]

pretty good gw

glad i don't have double utd mids rn

[chrome flint]

lucky onana owners tbh

but we move

[novel nacelle]

yep

i think i'll give rashford until at least gw3

[static anvil]

Onana on 9 points ffs

[languid burrow]

give him the forest game

[novel nacelle]

yh

[languid burrow]

onana owners v. v. lucky

should have been a pen lets be real but doesn’t fill me w/ confidence RE utd defence anywhere else

[novel nacelle]

bruno looked bad yeah

[chrome flint]

whole attack looked bad

[novel nacelle]

agree but bruno was playing deeper than mount

[chrome flint]

not from what i saw

at times yeah

but when they pressed it seemed fernandes to be higher

i think it just evens out

[quaint trout]

why i didn’t get fernandes

too deep for my liking

rash and bruno looked naff

[chrome flint]

so far no one is winning

both equally shit

[jolly horizon]

This is my freinds team he asked for suggestions hes very new to fpl so its kinda shit

[quaint trout]

he need to sell that totten player

[jolly horizon]

No mate he got 9 points he doing well this season fella

Ludicrus chelsea fan

[quaint trout]

Remove Sancho/VVD

And bench is too expensive

[novel nacelle]

not owning onana somehow made me move from 100k to 500k

lol

[quaint trout]

Onana GK

and change ramsdale for a 4.0/4.5 goalie

Turner is the best option I think

Or u can go areola

[languid burrow]

make ur own rmt

[novel nacelle]

next gw is gonna be big

salah about to show why he shouldn't be subbed off

[quaint trout]

Bournemouth at home

Free points

I’m thinking of captaining him

[static anvil]

He looks like he has had a solid gw lmao

[upbeat mountain]

Biggest regret was moving away from Watkins to fit in Rashford 😭

Not like he hauled this week. But Everton and Burnley are coming up for him

[static anvil]

I'm somehow bottom of my minileague gw1, by 11 points, although only 2 of us have salah. The Fpl goat is about to cook me a 7 course meal

[languid burrow]

hopium

[quaint trout]

hmm

[languid burrow]

need a gabriel no drop until palace game

[novel nacelle]

is baldock fit

[languid burrow]

taht is pure hopium

[languid burrow]

he played the palace gam

[quaint trout]

yeah but there games isnt that good'

[novel nacelle]

apparetly there was an injury concern

[fading spire]

Hopefully

[novel nacelle]

after the game

[quaint trout]

i dont think he will play well i mean

[languid burrow]

just wish pedro had a good 4 + 5

[untold crater]

swap him to alvarez

[languid burrow]

no i would swap him for isak GW6

altho a really spicy move could be rash gabriel pedro out for alvarez maddo james GW3 (-4)

get the sheffield game bournemouth game luton game

[untold crater]

dont think i could bring myself to take rash out when he has forest

i like the transfers in though

[languid burrow]

just need united to look shit and then i will

[quaint trout]

Even a bad United scores against forest

[languid burrow]

yes but one could argue rash gabriel pedro get 4 less than alvarez maddo james in that week

[quaint trout]

All 3 you would sell have good fixtures

What is the rush

[languid burrow]

burning a transfer

and GW3 being a pivotal week regardless

either that or keeping pedro until GW6

[static anvil]

Bro what? He is starting for me this gw lmao

[novel nacelle]

we will probably know in the pressers

[quaint trout]

you can't burn a transfer in gw2

[languid burrow]

i was talking abt GW3 the whole time smh

[quaint trout]

oh lmaoo didn't realise

wait no i did

earlier

but not just then

yeah even still i'd wanna hold those players

surely there is something better you can use a transfer for

i would back gabriel to james if you could afford it tho

[languid burrow]

that’s the issue

estu out probabky

[novel nacelle]

i might just keep estu and rotate with udogie

[quaint trout]

I'm considering that, but Spurs defence hasn't impressed me so far, and I don't trust Udogie to get attacking returns

[untold crater]

Against burnley and shu i would back him

4th most touches in the final 3rd out of every wingback

[subtle wolf]

How did u get that cool background?

[quaint trout]

dark mode

[modest zenith]

rn my whole team is away fixtures bar haaland and turner

stones in for gab too now maybe

[quaint trout]

small clubs are at home this gw

[modest zenith]

Small clubs drop points at home gw1

[novel nacelle]

i dont think home vs away matters that much

its like a 5% winrate swing isn't it

[pseudo monolith]

dunno

but 5% is massive

in the long run

[novel nacelle]

is maddison gonna rise

considering taking a hit this week so price changes dont screw me over

[languid burrow]

maybe

87.7

from who to who?

[novel nacelle]

rash 4.0 > maddison james

then i get james vs west ham

[languid burrow]

not sure if maddi rises 13.3 in 4 hours

[novel nacelle]

well it's about how accurate it is

ill be awake at 1:30 lol, but idk if i trust it

[languid burrow]

fplstatistics is 85%

i used it last year to accurately hop on bandwagons

and the year before? with livra

always least accurate at start of szn though

[novel nacelle]

the hit could be worth it anyway since i can replace baldock with james for this gameweek

[languid burrow]

if ur awake then u can always do rash to maddi regardless

depends whether james gets 4 more points than baldock

[novel nacelle]

and rash vs maddison

but then i get another FT for the future as well

might just do it

[languid burrow]

ur call

[languid burrow]

probably more even

[novel nacelle]

yeah

well it might be a downgrade lol

for this week

[languid burrow]

true

slight downgrade next 2 imo

only slight though so probably evens out w/ price changes?

[novel nacelle]

hmm

[dim burrow]

how is this still alive

[novel nacelle]

he went up 8% in 30 mins

im taking the hit

do i sell baldock or kabore

[chrome flint]

idk what youre doing but baldock is worse

[novel nacelle]

baldock rash > madders james

i think madders will rise

[chrome flint]

if you think its worth it

[novel nacelle]

madders went from 87% to 95% in half an hour

[chrome flint]

will you have 12 players then?

since youre moving a 4.0?

[novel nacelle]

i will rotate estu and udogie

[chrome flint]

aight

well its a decent move but for a 4 point hit idk

but if the upside is worth it then sure

[novel nacelle]

well i was going to do it next gw but it looks like maddison will rise

[novel nacelle]

he went down in % somehow

but ill probably still make the move

[novel nacelle]

it has been done

[languid burrow]

goat

[novel nacelle]

now rashy scores a brace and james gets injured

[languid burrow]

that’s the way it was always gonna be lmao

but nice bro

[buoyant stump]

Would be a shame if the Pool match is called off

[buoyant stump]

@ Diaz vc

[patent moon]

Is there any reason for it or rumour?

[marble sun]

question for the ppl who started with salah

are u selling him in gw3 ?

[void whale]

[fading spire]

No

[nimble flare]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[novel nacelle]

ffs

well ill just hope he is back soon and then its fine

[chrome flint]

Gusto

[patent moon]

Yess can’t wait for that Rashford brace

[ancient temple]

why the fuck did james have to get injured

[chrome flint]

i mean it is reece james

[ancient temple]

your right

[novel nacelle]

surely he is only out for this gw

and he comes back for luton when he is a differential and hauls

[chrome flint]

hamstring isnt usually a 1gw thing

[novel nacelle]

well he got it on the weekend

so its possible to heal in 2 weeks

also poch

is a complete FRAUD

he told us he was just tired

[patent moon]

been soo many hamstrings injuries this past week

[chrome flint]

and acl

[patent moon]

yeah that's actually what I was referring to, I think

[static anvil]

Any hot takes for this gw?

[buoyant stump]

not a rumor or anything. Just weird to cap and vc players from the same match. It can happen

[quaint trout]

yeah i have the same worries about that

i always vice a player from a different team to my cap

[quaint trout]

Do u guys have stones leaks ?

[fading spire]

It was rumoured he’s injured again

[quaint trout]

Is baldock also injured ?

[fading spire]

Not that we know of

[patent moon]

I’ve seen some tweet pass by that he’s def not playing Newcastle.

Baldock was put into category ‘passed fit’ in some graphic I saw on Instagram.

[flint crag]

Gw2, let's get it
0 transfers used
Playing turner over onana
Capping Salah
Gl all :))

[fading spire]

Baldock rash Foden mart vs Saliba bruno rich Jackson

[flint crag]

I know which one I'd rather have

[fading spire]

Baldock better start

[fading spire]

The former ofc

Rash and mart

[flint crag]

I'm just kinda pretending mart doesn't exist

Richarlison go brrr

[chrome flint]

Maddison >

I love how all teams in this chat has salah and double Chelsea

[languid burrow]

[peak plover]

So torn about who to bench lol, maybe foden

[languid burrow]

#1134176569666064394 echo chamber

[flint crag]

Only good managers are in this chat

[languid burrow]

would bench gabriel for shaw imo

could be v. wrong though

[drifting bay]

damn is this a RMT for everyone

[storm gyro]

Some people just ruined it 😪

[chrome flint]

except the person who owns the thread

[fading spire]

[storm gyro]

Nah just a place to share terrible ideas

[languid burrow]

uh it was more niche before and now it’s this idek

[chrome flint]

[languid burrow]

more of an fpl chat 2

[drifting bay]

i’m here to give you some bad manager diversity

[languid burrow]

for better managers ong

[peak plover]

True dont think we keep the cs

[drifting bay]

what should i do i got nothing in the bank

[lucid swift]

Cap Salah

[drifting bay]

yeah captain isn’t final ofc

it’s just what i had last week

[lucid swift]

Should’ve started with Turner

[chrome flint]

everyone should be rolling if they dont have an injured player

[drifting bay]

i think sheff could score vs forest

[peak plover]

Foden bros

Is he gonna start tho 😭 got him for gw1

[drifting bay]

me too…

[chrome flint]

foden probably starts tbh

incredibly likely

[queen tartan]

salah red this week trust

[fading spire]

If Bilva is indeed out there’s a high chance Foden starts

Esp if Alvarez isn’t 100% yet

[fading spire]

[drifting bay]

he played alongside alvarez though

vs burnley

[fading spire]

Yea but Alvarez himself isn’t fit right

[drifting bay]

idk he came on in the super cup final

85th minute

pep hasn’t said anything about foden in press conference

[ancient temple]

diaz cap locked

[quaint trout]

have to think for next week but till then

[patent moon]

So hoping for another Jackson blank

[languid burrow]

gl guys

[hardy vault]

🤞

[storm gyro]

GW3 ready

[lucid swift]

Burning transfer GW3

[quaint trout]

Reece James injury

[buoyant stump]

Baldock bros...

[languid burrow]

it’s so over

[fading spire]

It’s joever

[subtle wolf]

interesting choice

[subtle wolf]

very risky but bold move

[novel nacelle]

james pedro > 4.5 alvarez?

[lucid swift]

bold of you to assume we own James

[languid burrow]

gabriel pedro to gusto alvarez

[trail rose]

@languid burrow you have pedro?

[novel nacelle]

im looking at colwill

[languid burrow]

[novel nacelle]

at least with my bloody hit i caught the maddison price rise

[trail rose]

same

[languid burrow]

so annoying istg

probably gonna move on this GW so it’s fine ig

but

[novel nacelle]

james is price locked right

[trail rose]

fr fr

[novel nacelle]

my wifi is being so slow

i might double send messages

colwill/estu rotate nicely, although it is a bit risky since estu could randomly haul any gw

or i could just go botman for the long term

alvarez and botman sounds good

when spurs fixtures turn, newcastle fixtures go good so botman and udogie rotate well

[hardy vault]

[novel nacelle]

nice

[novel nacelle]

so i think the pedro replacements are alvarez and wissa now

I will probably got for alvarez since higher upside

[chrome flint]

city fixtures get good gw3

problem is since pedro is benched he probably starts the next run of games now

[novel nacelle]

well, rotation + not great fix

[chrome flint]

mitoma hauling

[shell galleon]

bro i have no idea what to do w my team next week

bc i panicked and brought in gusto😭

now i realise i’ve got 2 and a half mil in bank i literalky could’ve got saliba or gvardiol

[lucid swift]

JP to Wissa 🧑‍🍳

[languid burrow]

salah bros….

[hardy vault]

Salah frauded a bit

Diaz lookin juicy. But me captaining him was just ok :/

[chrome flint]

salah actually played terrible ffs

the 6.5 mids have dominated funnily enough

6.5 mids > rashford salah

[hardy vault]

Mboomer

[novel nacelle]

mbeumo owners are so lucky

[chrome flint]

brentford farm pens its unreal

[novel nacelle]

if haaaland hauls i might as well give up

[languid burrow]

this tbh

[novel nacelle]

need haaland benched

[storm gyro]

Wdym mixed? Im pissed

[quaint trout]

Wallahi im finished

[chrome flint]

variance has not gone my way this week

[fading spire]

wallahi

[novel nacelle]

i think im gonna bring in botman and alvarez after the game

[ancient temple]

i’m bringing in alvarez and maddison

[autumn wave]

Why Alvarez

[buoyant stump]

bro can I even drop him with these numbers

[languid burrow]

alvarez goal

GW3 he is IN

rash pedro to maddi alvarez

[static anvil]

Lets go alvaraz

[hardy vault]

Utd ruining my fpl fkkkkk

[storm gyro]

Dont hate that at all, too bad i gotta get rid of richarlison first

[languid burrow]

ugh true

[storm gyro]

Also salah owner, eventhough half the pool team looked better than him today, im gonna hold for now

[storm gyro]

Nevermind

[languid burrow]

rash pedro to foden alvarez

[storm gyro]

My thoughts exactly 😂

[novel nacelle]

feels not great taking hits gw2 gw3, at least i will be catching the price rises

gonna make my moves now, fuckit

[languid burrow]

why

and what

[novel nacelle]

james pedro > alvarez botman

james might fall sometime

are they good moves?

[storm gyro]

Dont mind the James move, although i would wait until games are over

[languid burrow]

wait

neither likely to fall/rise immediately

and newc defence?

[novel nacelle]

alvarez and botman are definitely fit though

i dont need botman for a few weeks

[languid burrow]

wait

[novel nacelle]

i have estu/chilly/udogie

[languid burrow]

wait

[novel nacelle]

theres a chance james could fall

[languid burrow]

fr

fplstatistics but just wait for a bit bro

[novel nacelle]

incase like saka or jackson gets injured?

[languid burrow]

yes

[novel nacelle]

the other possible move is james to dias and bench pedro

and not take a hit

[languid burrow]

wait

[novel nacelle]

is there any merit to holding pedro

[chrome flint]

yes

[novel nacelle]

hmm

i could roll, but id lose value on james

[languid burrow]

he’s dropping tn?

[novel nacelle]

probably not

[chrome flint]

by the end of the gw probably

[novel nacelle]

yeah

[novel nacelle]

james is on -93%

[novel nacelle]

ngl i might just roll now

i dont like foden playing central for alvarez minutes

[clever trout]

[acoustic locust]

Thoughts on this team for a possible -4?

Foden is a placeholder for Maddison in case he's cleared

[fading spire]

Enzo and vini??

[hardy vault]

With Caicedo coming in I don’t hate the thought of Enzo. He will prob be more attacking

[acoustic locust]

Vini was already there since the start
My dumb brain thought he would be the main forward for fulham with mitro gone

Enzo is a wait an access for later after the West Ham game today

[fading spire]

ded

[static anvil]

Guys, I'm off salah

[lucid swift]

Who did you sell for?

[patent moon]

I got bigger problems than Salah. At least he always returns.

[static anvil]

Was gonna be maddison, but I'll hold on until I hear more news.

Either way, plan was always to hold salah gw 1, cap gw2, then see how its doing, and 5 points in gw1 and 2 is a decent return, but not worth 12.5m.

[chrome flint]

im not against selling tbh

their next fix have some good defence

new away

wol away

spurs and brighton away

in next 6

with villa and west ham at home

[novel nacelle]

I am happy with salah

There is nowhere to use the money

No fwds id want to move to

And utd mids suck

[quaint trout]

Yeah man need gusto to score a hatrick

[acoustic locust]

I'll admit one of the reasons why i considered enzo cause his potential to be on pens but nevermind now

[hardy vault]

Fucking yikes. Utd and Chelsea so fcking shit this week 💔💔

Rip my rash, bruno, chilly, jackson

5 points from 4 players

[jade meteor]

are all u guys 6m ranked

[languid burrow]

[quaint trout]

chatting

[static anvil]

I'm 900k was 2.2mil gw1, thats a 110% green arrow

[fading spire]

2M

[ancient temple]

4m

[buoyant stump]

88k 2 left to play

[novel nacelle]

decided to do james>dias and bench pedro

dont feel like losing team value

[fading spire]

Pedro gonna drop ngl

I’m doing this

[novel nacelle]

he will drop to 5.5

[fading spire]

Oh right

[novel nacelle]

he could drop again at some point

[chrome flint]

hes not dropping yet

and yeah hes 5.6

you can tank the first

[novel nacelle]

i dont mind having him on the bench for a bit

the main problem with keeping him is just the team value

but ill see

he might just start next week anyway

[chrome flint]

he probably starts against whu

id play him over udogie

[novel nacelle]

udogie will get an attacking return some game

[chrome flint]

so will pedro

[novel nacelle]

yeah but i know udogie is starting

pedro is 50/50

[chrome flint]

if you get rested, youre more likely to play the next game tbh

not saying guaranteed

[novel nacelle]

wasn't really a rest

he said he wasn't good enough

[chrome flint]

enciso knows the system

de zerbi is harsh coaching pedro

[novel nacelle]

i think its 50/50 but if i wanted to start pedro i might as well have rolled the FT

[fading spire]

Isak rising tho

Probably

[chrome flint]

true

why you want him

ahead of the curve?

[fading spire]

Yea

I have the funds for 8M forward

[chrome flint]

fair enough

id like it if i knew he was nailed

[novel nacelle]

there are no expensive fwds

watkins 2nd most expensive fwd

[quaint trout]

seems so much to do to this

but can’t think of anything to actually do

[chrome flint]

2ft

Itb?

Depends if you wanna keep Salah

But also mitoma and Gabriel to gusto Foden is an option

Simply doing baldock to gusto is an option

Salah mitoma to Foden madders

You have options, but yeah it's a good team

City def for Gabriel too

[quaint trout]

0

mitoma out isn’t going to happen

was thinking just one of salah/rash to one of maddison or foden

need to think both of those through

[lucid swift]

I’d burn @quaint trout

[languid burrow]

i’m probably doing gabriel pedro to gusto alvarez fyi

[chrome flint]

keeping for the bad fix?

[chrome flint]

considering this as well, maybe maddo to mbeumo and pedro to wissa if hes out

[hardy vault]

I’m planning on running 3 strikers next game alva haaland wissa. I do have both Diaz and Madders. Safe to keep Madders on and if hes injured Diaz plays? Or is it risky if madders gets like only 15min on pitch

[fading spire]

We’ll have more info later on in the week

[languid burrow]

7.68k bro

[shell galleon]

2.3m itb with 1ft and idk what to do

[patent moon]

with that money itb, almost anything no? Baptiste to a 6.5mid of your liking. Next weeks dump TAA for a cheap but decent pick.

[static anvil]

If maddison is fit, he starts, and plays 70+ mins. If he isn't fit, he won't get any mins, if you have him you start him

[hardy vault]

Aight. I’ll bench Diaz

[novel nacelle]

benching either of maddison and diaz sounds risky lol

[hardy vault]

I don’t think so since pool has the only bad fixture

In my team rn

But ofc. He can haul

I can bench wissa or alvarez for diaz tho. But dont know if I want to

[languid burrow]

pull the trigger on gabriel pedro to gusto alvarez now?

[ancient temple]

i don’t see why not

[static anvil]

Pedro looking like he is gonna fall tonight

[ancient temple]

I might do Pedro and Rashford to Alvarez and foden rn

or Pedro to wissa

[static anvil]

Gusto is only 84%, but being transferred in rapidly

I think wissa looks slightly better than alvaraz atm, purely for mins

If they get the same mins, alvaraz every day

[languid burrow]

bring on GW3

[novel nacelle]

i thought about taking a hit for alvarez, ended up just getting in dias

alvarez might lose his place to doku, could be a while before he is a regular starter though

[languid burrow]

alvarez not competing for RW spot as much as foden

[novel nacelle]

foden central and doku RW

[languid burrow]

doku new to tactics

[novel nacelle]

yeah i think its fine in the short term

[ancient temple]

is alvarez better than foden

[chrome flint]

no imo

[languid burrow]

idk but i couldn’t get to foden so

[ancient temple]

the only problem with my team is i don’t have mitoma, wissa/mbeumo or maddison

[novel nacelle]

if we hear enciso is injured

i might start pedro over udogie

feels bad benching udogie though

[chrome flint]

Send it, rmt time

Idk what to do with my team rn

Got a few option

Waiting on maddo news

[ancient temple]

#1143318442032758925

[novel nacelle]

gonna bench pedro unless we find out enciso is injured or something

if james and maddison are both injured after i transferred them in

i can count myself as seriously unlucky

[quaint trout]

that is a nice team, would start pedro over diaz who also apparently may have an injury

[novel nacelle]

what?

u got to be kidding me

[quaint trout]

just seen a few in here say it

don’t think it’s concrete

just wait on it

[lime lava]

think i am doing a -4 this week...

[fading spire]

join the gang

[patent moon]

I wouldn’t mind doing a -4, if I was somehow convinced I’m getting enough out of it.

[lime lava]

rich and gabriel out to mbuemo and someone who idk yet is probably what i am doing

[chrome flint]

gusto/udogie for 3gws then botman gw6

[lime lava]

udogie is a shout, forgot about him

[chrome flint]

But yeah both those defenders have the best next 3 fix and then it's Newcastles fix swing so it works out well

[novel nacelle]

taking that hit for james cost me 1 million in rank

[novel nacelle]

i think maddison will be out for 1 gw most likely

but we should get more info in the pressers

[chrome flint]

yeah thats annoying

id rather he be out for a while

[novel nacelle]

i can live with playing pedro for a gw

[shell galleon]

do i need to do a -4

[languid burrow]

what transfers?

[ancient temple]

this team is fine i think i’m locked

[storm gyro]

Get rid of James before price drop?

[ancient temple]

for a -4 you sure?

i could just go james to udogie next week

[lime lava]

wouldnt say so

i would probably replace taa and then you can do whatever you want

[shell galleon]

i only have 1ft and the thing is, i’m thinking not to replace trent this week because then my structure would be bad as i’m planning on playing gusto next 3gw

[shell galleon]

i would only replace trent if it’s a -4 then upgrade somehwere else

i can just use my 1ft to upgrade baptiste to mbuemo because i have 2.3m itb

i rlly dk what to do

[lime lava]

if thats the case then you dont need a -4

just thought you could replace him with a 5.5/5m defender start the 442 still and then upgrade someone else over next few weeks

[shell galleon]

yeahhh but isn’t permanently changig to a 442 kinda bad structure wise

that’s the main negative

[lime lava]

there is no right or wrong formation in fpl

[shell galleon]

true it’s just i’m ngl

i’m probably going to go for mbeumo and go 3-5-2 w one transfer i’m just justifying going for that transfer

no matter what anyone says but i just think it’s smarter

i can afford to bench trent this gw and akanji or henry won’t have a better return than an mbeumo or diaby

[unique patrol]

Who’s better to go to from Trent cash,Henry or someone else?

[quaint trout]

henry

[stable scaffold]

Current draft still undefeated

Let’s get this bad boy to 10k

[novel nacelle]

pedro probably starts now

[chrome flint]

Did gabriel to Gusto last night, tempted to bring alvarez in, foden in, or both for a hit

or roll

no idea

need madders info

[novel nacelle]

if madders is out for 1 week im ok with that

[chrome flint]

I'll move to Foden if he is

[winged mortar]

don't wanna burn a transfer so do I just do Turner to areola?

nvm maybe lukic to sarr because lukic might not start snymore

[subtle flame]

[novel nacelle]

y was it locked

[fading spire]

[fading spire]

Cos if ppl keep typing here it shows up at the front when sorted by recent activity

[acoustic locust]

Its just 1 thread not multiple spam threads tho

[storm gyro]

Can we riot?

[fading spire]

[haughty loom]

Why darlow

Areola was there

[fading spire]

We didn’t know if he’d start for sure gw1

I didn’t want any price drops

[marble sun]

beyer

[fading spire]

You’d rather start kabore vs chelsea?

[marble sun]

its close isnt it

burnley are the better team of the two

villa also look alot better than chelsea

kabore more attacking

[quaint trout]

trust beyer

18 points this week

[trail rose]

[languid burrow]

beyer and turner is pure hopium

[fading spire]

[acoustic locust]

Do not question ayy's ways

[fading spire]

if salah left would you pull a WC
