[zenith jolt]

udogie slightly better iirc but we don't know if he's ready for gw1 yet

[obtuse shoal]

Spurs feel like such an avoid for me now.

[broken patio]

Xhaka 5.0 would be annoying ngl

[cedar hull]

Avoiding spurs tbh

[broken patio]

He'd be in everyone's team

Id have to drop ayari if xhaka came in at 5.0 :(

[slim bane]

Say less

5.0 xhakaaaaaa

[broken patio]

Oh he's in

Ffs he's actually 5.0

[slim bane]

Yea

Underpriced imo

Depending on how they use him

One things for sure

You’re always gonna bench his screamers

[broken patio]

Ofc

He's gonna be totally nailed which puts him ahead of some 5.0s already

[cedar hull]

5.0 on the bench tho

[broken patio]

Should be good for CBIT because he's playing for Sunderland

[slim bane]

So how do I get isak and eze in my team now

[cedar hull]

Cba for that

[broken patio]

And he has some attacking potential

[slim bane]

Not running 8 attackers so it’s fine

[broken patio]

I'm defo gonna have a 5.0 mid on the bench ngl, good cover and bench boost material

The upgrade is so vast upon a 4.5 mid

[cedar hull]

You bbing before wildcard tho?

[broken patio]

Probably

[cedar hull]

With a 4.5 fwd and 4.0 keeper?

[broken patio]

Probably gonna want Salah and Haaland on wc

Will be nice to not worry about bench and have a shit bench

[broken patio]

Atm I'm on 2 4.5 keepers

I do have a 4.5 forward in kroupi, so either wait for evanilson to get injured and BB, or wait for an option to emerge, get them for a week and BB

I just wanna get it out the way

After WC I'm almost certainly gonna have a 4.0 keeper and 4.5 fwd/mid

[cedar hull]

So 1m on the bench, + waiting for luck just for a bb

Not a fan

[broken patio]

I mean, the extra .5 on keepers isn't just for BB and perma bench, you rotate

And then yeah it's an extra .5 for a 5.0 mid over a 4.5 but I think that's worth it, a lot of people have that anyway

I could see myself playing xhaka Vs Brentford gw3 over milenkovic Vs arsenal for instance

[silent jasper]

If Sunderland is able to sign him on loan, I think he would be our 8th attacker
He is currently price at 4.5M as a forward in FPL
I noticed Sunderland don't really have many forward listed in their FPL squad apparently, so this Guiu might be our budget pick, like few seasons back when Broja was a 4.5M enabler at Southampton

[broken patio]

Oooo now that would make a cheap bench boost super achievable

[quick dawn]

what role is xhaka playing? cbit? attacking returns?

guiu 352 essential?

[zenith jolt]

bb2 xhaka + guiu 🤔

[quick dawn]

christie could still be better than xhaka

[wanton whale]

dont mind it icl

putting the success of a bb on a promoted team is scary tho

[cedar hull]

Not the rutter pick

[pulsar chasm]

oi

[wanton whale]

Isak comes and im on haaland me thinks

[cedar hull]

Don't see how isak makes Salah worse tbh

He will keep pens fs

[wanton whale]

it doesnt but could see a much larger share of goals

enables early season haaland as well

[broken patio]

Early season Haaland isn't necessary if you FH6

[wanton whale]

because you get him for one game vs burnley?

[pulsar chasm]

that’s probably the only week he’s the best outright captain

[wanton whale]

haaland is fine for captaincy in any game

[broken patio]

Fine is different to outright best

[wanton whale]

but i see what you mean

[broken patio]

The other weeks you don't need to cap him

Gw6 he's clearly the best

On paper anyway

[wanton whale]

i just dont know if i prefer salah and Gyok/watkins or Haaland and Isak

[trail forum]

one gives you pool and city "coverage" the other gives you pool and arsenal/villa

i really like look of haaland now

[wanton whale]

haaland being below 20 is pretty mental

[wanton whale]

same here but i feel like im overthinking it a little

salah has 8 years of consistency

[cedar hull]

Salah being a mid just makes him clear imo

And haaland 0.5 too expensive

[wanton whale]

yeah mid very clear of fwd

[cedar hull]

Best ever FPL season and he's 0.5 over a guy who got just over half his points

[violet temple]

so who's running the xhaka and guiu duo (if he's transferred)

[wanton whale]

might stretch to have isak and salah

[pulsar chasm]

premiums to me is a lot about captaincy

[violet temple]

that's a good play for the 4atb ppl no lowkey

[pulsar chasm]

think salah is best for 3 of first 5

if that goes tits up you’re finished

[violet temple]

damn

what about the other 2?

[pulsar chasm]

saka

and probably palmer

captaincy wise

[violet temple]

damn gonna be rough to get all 3

is salah viable in any of the other 2?

probably not actually newcastle and arsenal

[orchid plank]

probably gets a g/a and the weekly pen

[frigid junco]

I’ve tinkered but always ended back on a draft similar to this, Wood can be any 7.5 and Everton defence is tbc

Has Saka Palmer Salah which I wanted to squeeze

Bums on the bench tho

[violet temple]

Honestly idk where to go with my team

gotta decide the premiums first imo

[wanton whale]

Salah is viable any game

[pulsar chasm]

difference between viable and best

[violet temple]

always better to have the best

[broken patio]

Don't hate me that it doesn't line up properly

Made it on Microsoft word

But, rotations for 4.5 keepers

Up to gw12

[wanton whale]

best is subjective

depends if you prefer form or fixture

[pulsar chasm]

well we don’t know form right now

can only really play the fixtures imo

[wanton whale]

agreed but few gameweeks will give us some indication

[broken patio]

Talking myself into verbruggen kelleher

[pulsar chasm]

you don’t have unlimited transfers then

[wanton whale]

thats why you dont worry about chop and changing premiums for the best captaincy

[pulsar chasm]

personally i’m captaining saka LEE over salah new

every time

[pulsar chasm]

disagree

last year changed that perception because premiums other than salah were shit for long periods

[broken patio]

There's an argument that we can change around premiums for captaincy in a year where we setup with like 4 defenders that we never change

[wanton whale]

you just said 'you dont have unlimited transfers'

[pulsar chasm]

i think it’s worth trying to get the best captaincy weekly

[wanton whale]

oh for sure

[pulsar chasm]

because if you don’t chances are you don’t even own the guy

as for haaland

think the only week i’d say he looks to be best cap is week 7 or whatever

burnley (h)

[wanton whale]

its not just about captaincy

besides id have isak for the pool captaincy

[pulsar chasm]

so you’d take haaland

and not captain him

[wanton whale]

i would

you are the one arguing against that?

[pulsar chasm]

im saying to me

haaland isn’t worthwhile because he’s never best cap

city dynamic off aswell

meanwhile salah is probably the best cap in the majority of the early weeks

on paper

saka and palmer cover him well

whether you have 1 or both idk

[wanton whale]

id have haaland isak palmer

all fine for captaincy

[cedar hull]

Mateta

[pulsar chasm]

strongly disagree but fairs

well they’re fine

[wanton whale]

so salah is fine for cap but isak isnt?

[pulsar chasm]

i’d say salah is objectively a better asset than isak

for now

[wanton whale]

well yeah but you cant have em all

hes also 4m more expensive

[pulsar chasm]

that’s not my argument

[cedar hull]

Don't think there's enough gain with only 0.5 between haaland and Salah personally

[pulsar chasm]

haaland has pretty nice games early

but he’s not the outright best cap in any week

bar when he plays burnley

maybe just me

[orchid plank]

gw3?

[pulsar chasm]

palmer probably

haaland could be

it’s close

[wanton whale]

it would be much closer if haaland was priced as he should be

13.5

[cedar hull]

Fully agree

[novel harbor]

will city get to play a single pre season game?

[broken patio]

Easy free hit and captain

[novel harbor]

i rly need to see how the minutes are shared ffs

[pulsar chasm]

think that’s probably why its been spoken about

some of the reason anyway

[broken patio]

Arsenal play Newcastle gw6 so you can ignore both of them

Liverpool away at palace so you can go light on them if need be

[wanton whale]

haaland can come in gw13 tbf

when we can bin salah

[broken patio]

Load up on city Vs Burnley, forest Vs Sunderland, spurs Vs wolves, Bournemouth Vs Leeds

[broken patio]

Wc13

[wanton whale]

[cedar hull]

think they only got one

[pulsar chasm]

yeah basically

[broken patio]

Yep just 1

Same with Chelsea

[novel harbor]

💤

[broken patio]

It makes so much sense

[novel harbor]

think im finally happy with my team balance wise i just need to know if theres a single point in me getting a city defender

[pulsar chasm]

only forest are popular from the start there

[wanton whale]

hope city are early kick off in 13

[novel harbor]

do they play any time soon

[cedar hull]

holding on city personally

[pulsar chasm]

bad for cbit and pep roulette

would probably avoid to begin with

RAN will get forward though

[cedar hull]

only 8 defenders you need to consider gw1

[orchid plank]

Then Salah plays Sunderland at home gw14!!

[novel harbor]

triple pool it is then

vvd, salah, wirtz

[wanton whale]

opportunity cost

[orchid plank]

Surely can’t sell?

[pulsar chasm]

gw7

[broken patio]

Youd have both Salah and Haaland from 13

Then sell Salah for Afcon

It's why you need a cheap squad then which is why I wanna get BB out of the way before 13

[wanton whale]

could have both tbf

[novel harbor]

how cheap do u mean

[cedar hull]

fodder cheap

[wanton whale]

palmers run from 13 isnt amazing

[broken patio]

I mean not having budget for a 2nd keeper, 5.5 forward etc etc

[wanton whale]

apart from leeds

[broken patio]

Aka not a good enough 15 for BB

[orchid plank]

fh13 with triple chelsea both sides promoted team

[novel harbor]

ahh ok igu

[wanton whale]

could, fh6 is what im on rn

[pulsar chasm]

haven’t looked but this doesn’t seem to make sense

a good wildcard window surely means fh is just pointless

[novel harbor]

agreed

come to think of it i havent rly thought out chip planning too much yet

what are ppl basing their decisions mainly off this season

what are the popular choices?

[broken patio]

https://youtu.be/T8VctTX6PeY?si=V6ytzuaNxL1hrCpl

Watch this

[orchid plank]

chelsea arsenal fixtures go great during gw9 where I’ll have none pre wc n fh13 when they play eachother to cover the city assets leeds h and come back to a good team after the fh

wc9 probably have double brighton,triple arsenal and chelsea n salah isak

[pulsar chasm]

so what do you do about haaland

[orchid plank]

I wont have him for 14 against fulham away yea but sell palmer in 15 to get him when he plays a promoted team with probably all fts i have then 16 we get 5fts back anyways

[violet temple]

woah man there's no need to think that far ahead

Thinking about gw 15 already

[novel harbor]

this is rly good actually

[pulsar chasm]

fair

seems thought out

which premiums do you start with

if you don’t mind me asking

[orchid plank]

salah haaland saka

won’t have isak till 4

[pulsar chasm]

yeah fair

[lavish parcel]

Is Darwin getting sold?

[latent depot]

damn, imagine choosing Sunderland over RB Leipzig

[lavish parcel]

The money would've been nice at Leipzig ngl

[cedar hull]

money is probably nice at sunderland too

[cedar hull]

hes getting a wage rise from his bayer salary btw

[lavish parcel]

What

No way

That's crazy

[cedar hull]

you know bottom pl clubs have the same pay roll as like european bundesliga clubs

peep brentford btw

[broken patio]

Do mids get minus points for goals conceded? I forgor

[pulsar chasm]

no

[latent depot]

payroll doesn't matter as Guiu would get paid the same salary as at Chelsea. surely he should pick the better team to offer the best development

news says it's down to Guiu to choose between Sunderland and RB

how's he going to develop at a relegation tier team with prob very few touches

obv Guiu is in my squad just in case tho

[cedar hull]

i thought you were on about xhaka tbf

[latent depot]

oh

Xhaka apparently was personally persuaded

[cedar hull]

pretty sure leipzig were in for him iirc

[latent depot]

"With star centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite missing the tour due to a niggle and James Tarkowski and Michael Keane not being at full fitness, Moyes was forced to play Nathan Patterson and Vitalii Mykolenko as makeshift central defenders along with Jake O’Brien"

fuck off the dream is dead

xNiggle is wild on 5.5/6.0 CBs

[cedar hull]

wood and jesus starting together apparently

[wanton whale]

yeah they came on together in first friendly as well

everton complete avoid then nice

[pulsar chasm]

forest playing proper footy

[latent depot]

5 big at the back is kinda dead

[novel harbor]

can you explain the guehi sale aspect of this for me?

whats the impact u think it will have

just different role?

[latent depot]

selling their best defender

impact on goals conceded

they did this shit last year with Anderson and it took them like 8 games to sort it out

[novel harbor]

ye thats true

[broken patio]

So playing xhaka in a tough fix is fine then

More CBIT farming potential if anything

Just a risk of yc I guess but thats hard to predict anyway

[pulsar chasm]

do it vs arsenal because he’s so scoring

[latent depot]

not every tough fix is the same, don't play anyone vs Arsenal/City if you want CBRITs

[broken patio]

Yeah

[novel harbor]

has tarkowski been in any training?

[broken patio]

Chelsea arent great for farming cbitr against either sadly

Which is annoying for my gw9 BB xhaka plans

[pulsar chasm]

he’s on the tour so probably (?)

[latent depot]

yep, Lacroix got some weirdly small number of CBITs in his only game vs Chelsea

[wanton whale]

harry wilson omds

[novel harbor]

i wonder if anyones done a cbirt team hierarchy

[keen wren]

Check fpl fran video

[novel harbor]

is it the defenders vid?

[novel harbor]

thanks

[broken patio]

We wanna see the reverse too

Like, which teams to target playing against for CBIT

[novel harbor]

ye

cbit conceded would be nice

[broken patio]

There's this

This is against

So for picking a fixture to BB a 5.0 mid in (bare in mind we don't really care about goals conceded, just want 4 total points with cbitr), target Liverpool, Newcastle, Bournemouth, palace, Brentford, Brighton, man utd

Time to check when xhaka plays those teams

I guess include spurs too

Obvs their stats are different with Ange but Brentford last season still high

Xhaka doesn't face any of those teams in the first 12 weeks wtf

Well, Brentford gw3, palace gw4, man utd gw7

But those weeks don't have good fix for any of the 4.0s, ffsssss

[novel harbor]

[broken patio]

Christie gw1 Vs Liverpool O_o

[latent depot]

Christie is redundant now, Xhaka meta here we go

[broken patio]

Yeah

I guess we don't need to think about the fixture toooo much for him

Since Sunderland are gonna be defending a lot in any game

[latent depot]

VDV cbits in a Thomas Frank system

surely Spurs will be luxury Brentford

[broken patio]

I'm looking at gw9 BB, with
Verbruggen Vs man utd
Sa Vs Burnley
Rodon/Steve Vs whu/wol
Xhaka Vs Chelsea
And some striker??? One will appear by gw9

[cedar hull]

@latent depot did you not see the quotes the other day on slot

[broken patio]

Romero will be the guy surely

[cedar hull]

basically saying he doesnt need another cb

[latent depot]

link?

[cedar hull]

i think they go all in for isak and no geuhi

[latent depot]

what

[broken patio]

And he'll be the attacking one on set pieces too, ie Collins

[cedar hull]

[latent depot]

Guehi is linked to other teams as well tho

[cedar hull]

it was after gravenberch played cb

never seen beef do this much chip research

[latent depot]

is it research or confirmation bias?

[broken patio]

Confirmation bias mainly

[cedar hull]

someone else did the research, he did the confirmation bias

[cedar hull]

like who

[broken patio]

My document on word says otherwise

[cedar hull]

im not saying guehi wont leave, but its hardly as set as you make it out to be, palace havent even been linked with cbs

[broken patio]

This is on my work laptop lmfao

I'm at my bar working doing FPL research

[pulsar chasm]

thought about this too

[cedar hull]

think it will take a while to get there with spurs though

analcord 5 back just dropped

[latent depot]

also, if you need a CB, saying that you need a CB in interview isn't exactly optimal when Liverpool want to negotiate below the £40M asking price

[broken patio]

Agbadou

[cedar hull]

yes but its not a guarantee

what are the other clubs guehi is linked to

[pulsar chasm]

newcastle maybe

[latent depot]

I mean, it's enough smoke to put me off in tandem with those fixtures

[pulsar chasm]

there’s been nothing this summer though

[cedar hull]

theres been nothing concrete at all though

[pulsar chasm]

i mean yeah idk why it’s being spoken about like it’s a done deal

same with eze

[latent depot]

stinks of deadline day scramble

[cedar hull]

yeah thats my point, eliminating lacroix and munoz based on smoke is eh

[novel harbor]

isnt it like literally just liverpool?

[latent depot]

they're not ideal GW1-3 anyway, so why not wait. deadline day is after GW3

[broken patio]

It would take a lot to put me offunoz

[cedar hull]

yeah i thought so but mcgrr said hes linked to other clubs

[novel harbor]

spurs were interested a while ago but like theres no chance

[cedar hull]

theres been nothing for like a month

[cedar hull]

well thats a different issue, cant just say dont pick them cos their cb has a chance to leave

[latent depot]

that's why there's a comma

[cedar hull]

spreadsheet literally says "guehi sale"

[pulsar chasm]

mcgrr just knows bro

[latent depot]

want to call it saga instead?, sure

it's a source of doubt, just like the xNiggles

wanna call it xSale?

[broken patio]

XDopamine

[latent depot]

if the intention is to run 5 big at the back without wasting FTs there, then doubt is a problem

[acoustic edge]

alw knew u were into anal

[keen wren]

Caught

[acoustic edge]

@coopdog confirm?

[pulsar chasm]

banned last week bro

[novel harbor]

i cant wait to see this strat backfire 😭

[latent depot]

I'm surprised that Spurs CBITs are low

[acoustic edge]

wtf really

[latent depot]

depends on how you define backfire?

[acoustic edge]

i’m opening a ticket free my opp

[novel harbor]

as in i just have a feeling it will be memed on for seasons to come on at how underwhelming it ended up being

[latent depot]

DC points are relatively low variance compared to other types of point accumulation

I'd argue it's way easier to predict which defenders will end up with 160-180 points than attackers, and there will be more of them

you can screenshot this if you want

the caveat being that enough of those defenders actaully play 35+ games

[cedar hull]

its not really a big thing outside of this thread tbh

[elder cargo]

Building your whole team around pursuing 2 extra points a game per player can’t go wrong.

[cerulean cape]

Tark got an extra 40% of points from DC?

[latent depot]

the targets are getting those 2 extra points at a 50% clip

some at 60%+

those under 40% have xGI to compensate

[cerulean cape]

Planning is boring without Everton news tho

[elder cargo]

An extra 2 points per game every 2nd game

[cedar hull]

some of these guys getting 10 free CS a season worth of points

[latent depot]

5ATB is dead without positive Everton news, let's be honest

[acoustic edge]

add it to the projected ode EV from last szn (assuming 30% pen share and 50% cs rate) and we have a real team 🔥🔥

[acoustic edge]

proud triple forest def owner

[wanton whale]

442 > 😈

[latent depot]

FH4?

[cedar hull]

442 is probably meta

[elder cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-thousand-yard-stare-thousand-yard-stare-cat-ptsd-cat-soldier-cat-war-gif-9110270742088459827

[acoustic edge]

0-0

[pulsar chasm]

my big issue with 5 atb is flexibility to start

like when rutter bags a brace everyone will want him

[thin jasper]

5atb gives you like no bench options

[cerulean cape]

This team if Everton dead

[elder cargo]

when Igor Thiago becomes essential but you have 5 premium defenders

Tough

[latent depot]

honestly looking at this now with all the uncertainty for key players. I want to punt on VDV under Frank with Esteve to cover GW2

[wanton whale]

he already is

[broken patio]

This is my thinking too, there's no room to move to any forward/midfield bandwagons

[cerulean cape]

Tough to get a 6m fwd with a 6m def

[wanton whale]

i think its a good balance

[elder cargo]

He’ll be 7m gw2

[pulsar chasm]

it's an extra transfer tbf

[cerulean cape]

What a shame we have to use fts for a +ev move (if it happens)

[broken patio]

The benefit of 3 attackers is that BB is super easy

[thin jasper]

remember a few seasons ago when everyone was loading up at the back with reece, cancelo, trent

[pulsar chasm]

i mean its not ideal!

[cerulean cape]

What if thiago flops and 5atb is meta

[novel harbor]

ye i agree im just curious what ur guys arguments are against the cirbt logic too? i.e. why do you think 5ATB would be more optimal than 4-4-2? is it just down to chance of extra points due to clean sheets?

[cerulean cape]

Argument swaps back

[wanton whale]

crazy how Igor thiago will be the third highest scoring fwd in the game

[cerulean cape]

Dead scenario imo

[acoustic edge]

maximise potential EV

[pulsar chasm]

with centre halves scoring goals every week?

[acoustic edge]

gabriel 20 goal szn 🔥

[elder cargo]

I’m not one of the CBIT goons so I couldn’t tell you

[latent depot]

I might rotate VDV/Esteve/Xhaka/Xhaka/Xhaka/VDV before WC7

[cerulean cape]

They get a goal every 6 games

With DC

[acoustic edge]

yeah you’ve lost me

just buy lacroix

[cerulean cape]

Mcgrrr coined the onamah rotation

I forgot who the 2nd player was

[latent depot]

some shit 5.0

[thin jasper]

goal + dc + 3bp + cs centerback hauls are going to make some brutal gameweek swings

[latent depot]

I was thinking out loud and had that rotation for all of 1 hour

but it lives rent free in Jazzy's mind

[wanton whale]

sounds like forest gw1

[broken patio]

Imagine benching a Murillo 11 pointer in a week where he gets an unlikely clean

Perma play player now imo

[wanton whale]

no ones benching murillo realistically

[broken patio]

Yeah

[cerulean cape]

I'm your biggest fan

[latent depot]

I thought Ayy was

[pulsar chasm]

yeah still think you would want a few cs to accompany which i can't see for many teams

[cerulean cape]

Everton and forest?

And palace i guess

[pulsar chasm]

i don't see many if any for everton

[latent depot]

Everton have kept 13 clean sheets 2 seasons in a row, despite never looking like keeping 1 clean sheet

[cerulean cape]

Which team do you prefer

[pulsar chasm]

well that's where i'd take an attacker

probably

[broken patio]

Magic

[cerulean cape]

Picking a 160 point defender is easier than ever

Dont buy into it tbh

[latent depot]

my bad, Everton only kept 12 last season

[elder cargo]

Tarkowski with his 44 added CBIT points would have ended on 149 points - a similar points total as Schade (149), Raul (147), Szobo (143),Trossard (152). Huge names 😮‍💨

[cerulean cape]

It's picking a 120 point defender with high dc

[broken patio]

Man I really need this guiu news
Early bb really rests on him

[cerulean cape]

For a 6m mid or fwd equivalent thats good

[latent depot]

yeah tbh prob doing this and just playing Xhaka GW1 and GW3

[cerulean cape]

Arguably 5.5m if you deem 4.0m def unplayable

[pulsar chasm]

it's fine but think moving between attackers will still be better than just perma holding a tarkowski for example

[elder cargo]

It’s hardly the game changer it’s made out to be would be my thought process.

[pulsar chasm]

but you disagree which is fair

[novel harbor]

i think it would be funny if ppl started actually adopting 5ATB sometime during the season and having premium attackers became differential

[broken patio]

We're all playing xhaka gw3 over milenkovic right?

[elder cargo]

Considering that Tarkowski is now 5.5 and ended on a similar points total to some picks that are pretty unremarkable

[latent depot]

forwards are so dead, what premiums are you talking about? everyone can still have 2 premium mids without sacrificing anything

[cerulean cape]

Those picks you have chosen cos they did well

Do you know the best 5.5m or 6m right now

Compare tarkowski to ipswich szmodics

Or adama

[elder cargo]

Similar players will arise from that price range this season as we get every season.

[broken patio]

It's not a total game changer no, for instance clean sheets are still the bread and butter for defenders, but it's an extra thing to think about and an extra thing to help distinguish between 2 picks that look otherwise very similar

[cerulean cape]

Yes but we dont know them

So thats why we start with 4/5 atb

[elder cargo]

5atb is where it loses me but I see the merit in 4.

[latent depot]

wait, what's stopping you from picking up the budget overperforming attackers anyway and then splurging on all the premium attackers with the money saved? because you have 5 permastarters in defence accumulating 160-180 points

[novel harbor]

same

[pulsar chasm]

are you holding those defenders for 38 weeks

[cerulean cape]

You could realistically

[pulsar chasm]

i think you would miss out on a lot of points

[latent depot]

"buying 4 of this really attractive investment I see the merit, but buying 5 is where it loses me"

anyway, all this talk while 5ATB is completely mudded until we get good news out of Everton/Gabriel/Guehi

[cerulean cape]

^

[broken patio]

🤝

[novel harbor]

its more whether the marginal utility of that 5th defender outweighs the opportunity cost of not having that budget flexibility elsewhere tho

[pulsar chasm]

you seemed pretty adamant both eze and guehi were leaving, what happened?

[latent depot]

see the 5th defender as the 11th player on the team

it's a 432 +1

[novel harbor]

the defcom points are obvsly quite predictable on aggregate but week to week i have a feeling the variance is just gonna be brutal

[elder cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/calculation-math-hangover-allen-zach-galifianakis-gif-6219070

[thin jasper]

defcon points will make some horrific swings on those like 40-60 eo players

[elder cargo]

we’re holding for 38 gameweeks it’ll balance out

[bleak island]

You need to start reading back your sentences before pressing enter, is that understood?

[latent depot]

this is just a description of all point scoring events, but to highlight it for DCs which is a 40-60% event for the targeted players is weird

[violet temple]

Who's gonna tell him that's not how it works

[keen wren]

U sound like a proud Serb

[violet temple]

That's a 532

[latent depot]

the point is every squad has 10 core players and 1 fringe 11th, you're not going to find better return on that 11th player than a 5th premium (or Lacroix) defender

[elder cargo]

You clearly can’t comprehend his greatness

[bleak island]

you can get a 3rd forward, 5th defender makes no sense considering how low their upside is, it is ok, you will learn by playing FPL more, first season is always the toughest

[latent depot]

that 5th defender is 160-180 points

[elder cargo]

You should consider the 11th player on your team as the 11th player on your team

[violet temple]

And the 5th striker is 200 points 🔥

[pulsar chasm]

tarkowski didn't reach this btw

[violet temple]

5th striker did not really make sense I meant 3rd

[latent depot]

there's literally 1 striker at 200+ points after recalcs

[frank mulch]

If you get lucky with the correct one

[violet temple]

analytics merchant?

[bleak island]

Mind sharing your team mate if u are here spatting all this nonsense? Back it up with a good 11 players

Not being a twat mate, just this bloke posts stats and xG tables and waffle mate, you can tell he has never watched a game of footy in his life

exactly

[elder cargo]

Those two comments lined up frighteningly well

[bleak island]

leave the thread for your own sake

embarassing

[broken patio]

It's not hard to find, mate

I play FPL entirely from a numbers POV, it's a maths puzzle

I don't care that it's actually football

[bleak island]

Then whats the point in playing

piss off, go play F1 fantasy

[latent depot]

because it's fun

[bleak island]

Why do u have so many centerbacks anyways

[latent depot]

lol I'm playing F1 fantasy and currently #1 in the discord league and on the F1 discord league

[elder cargo]

How many CBITs does George Russell get

[bleak island]

have u never seen how forward fullbacks go?

Dude I'm showing you that these players get the most points

That's fact

[thin jasper]

fpl is played on grass

You can't argue with that

But sure man yeah I wank off to stats tables now

[latent depot]

bro, we get it, you're a football expert who watches the game, but you're not employed in the sport, but that's their loss, cos you can spout your shite on discord instead

[clever hollow]

i play mine on a phone mate ✌️

Could have started a family by that time and you are here spamming some random numbers while playing FIVE centerbacks which makes no sense

[latent depot]

I love how you can't get over that

points are points

[cedar hull]

autopick is better than that

[bleak island]

if i post it the yellow geezer will run his little numbers on it and call it bad, don't wanna hear it from him anymore

[novel harbor]

myb it just needs to actually be explained in like the most point blank way so people can see just how insane this actually is. for anyone curious from what im gathering, murillo at 0.485 VAPM means every million you spend on him returns ~0.485 points per gameweek. so if you compare that to a premium striker at like idk 0.3-0.35 VAPM ur getting 30-40% better value. the only downside will be when the market corrects itself and it kills the arbitrage but then again i dont even think it would matter if half the playerbase caught on at some point i think it'd be somewhat too late. correct me if im misjudging something @latent depot

[cedar hull]

damn so you scared to post your team?

[elder cargo]

[wanton whale]

we'll see

[hollow ermine]

Xmerchant

[novel harbor]

ye

[hollow ermine]

I still don’t get the g +/- xg vs career thing

What is being compared

[latent depot]

bro underpeformed xGI by a lot. he also had 8 sub appearances at the beginning of the season when Palace were shit. obv you have to adjust for that because he became nailed. so I added 12 points for getting closer to xGI (still conservatively under tho), then deducted 6 sub appearance points because his 8 subs amounted to minutes for 2 starts. result is 151 points from 32 games at 4.91ppm/0.447vapm

[bleak island]

You are joking right? How is any of this stuff useful

[hollow ermine]

Adding points for underperformance?

Also when you say underperformance vs career

What are you comparing here

[latent depot]

for example Sarr actually hits xG across his career, so last season's underperformance is abnormal, so it's reasonable to add some points for a forward projection

[hollow ermine]

Fairs

[cedar hull]

It's literally just goals Vs xg

[hollow ermine]

Is there a method to specifying points

[cedar hull]

So if you scored 16 goals from 13 xg you're +3

[hollow ermine]

I understand what overperformance is lol

He’s vs that number vs career

[latent depot]

not quite, you can't do the same for Son for example because bro outperforms xG by quite a lot

so it's a career benchmark

[hollow ermine]

12 points just sounds like a fairly random number

[latent depot]

and in the opposite direction you have shitters like Gabriel Jesus who underperform xG by a lot

[latent depot]

approx 2 goals +1 bonus per goal, he was 4 goals under xG

basically "split the difference"

[novel harbor]

is sarr getting any meaningful defcom points?

[hollow ermine]

Fairs

[hollow ermine]

No

[latent depot]

literally 2 DC points

[novel harbor]

ok so just pure attacking value

not gonna bother then

[hollow ermine]

What do I do with the adjustment?

So the 6 points is like + or - 6 points yeah?

[latent depot]

dunno, you're not going to find many players spamming 0.7xGI90 at any price

[hollow ermine]

So like a range

[latent depot]

yeah it's 151 +12 -6 = 157, then divide by 30 starts +2 (mins from 8 subs) to get the adjusted PPM

[novel harbor]

do you think eze leaving will have any affects on his rate?

[latent depot]

who knows

Palace were shit for like the first 8GWs after Olise left

[elder cargo]

if riskypearl spawns in they form one joint person

[hollow ermine]

Ah so wood overperformed so much that he scored 23 more points than he would’ve at any other point in his career and played almost every match anyway so fairly similar points from appearances

[latent depot]

yep, put me right off Wood between that and the fact that so many of his returns came vs relegated teams and... Brighton

you can reasonably expect 1 goal from Wood during his "good" GW1-3 fix, but if that's the case, he's going to go down in price before Arsenal GW4

you only really want him for GW5-6

[wanton whale]

not true im my own person

[hollow ermine]

Wouldn’t the difference only really apply for attackers and midfielders that get GI

[latent depot]

sorry, I'm not understanding that as written, can you reword it

[hollow ermine]

Like measuring over performance for Pickford and murillo aren’t as easy and they play every game anyway so there’s nothing there from appearances really

[latent depot]

got it, the -8 for pickford is because he saved 2 penalties, so I deducted 1, and I deducted the assist

[hollow ermine]

So aren’t the adjustments mainly context for attackers and midfielders

[latent depot]

those are really completely random

[novel harbor]

i mean ye surely only matters for volatile stuff

[hollow ermine]

Bar milenkovic of course

Given I don’t expect 5 goals again

[latent depot]

the +12 for Raya is because Arsenal can reasonably be expected to keep 16ish clean sheets

[novel harbor]

defcon is mostly consistent

[latent depot]

etc.

Murrilo got +3 for his xA number (I forget what it is), Milenkovic got -3 for his xA overperformance, small diff. I know I deducted a clean sheet from both

[latent depot]

took 29 shots, mostly from set pieces, but they were good quality shots (0.16xG per shot), so 5G from 4.57xG

[hollow ermine]

Forest will just be worse

Not a qualm at milen himself

[latent depot]

not planning to own any of them after GW6

[stray jungle]

promising start, but feels as if hes shying away from getting big players

[broken patio]

Why are wolves so shit

[pulsar chasm]

don’t speak about my keeper like that pal

[latent depot]

[broken patio]

Yeahhh

[broken patio]

I have sa too lmao

But now I want areola if I wanna bb9

But west ham Def is shit too

one of the CCs predicted West Ham to be relegated

[elder cargo]

[broken patio]

Lots of that going around for both west ham and wolves

[latent depot]

wrong Discord

[broken patio]

West ham, wolves and 3 premoted teams feel like a bottom 5 that are a cut away from the rest

[elder cargo]

Wolves finished strong under Vitor

[broken patio]

Maybe add Brentford to that, maybe not idk

[elder cargo]

Without Cunha for a number of games too

[latent depot]

yeah, I don't like Brentford at all if they lose Wissa

[zenith jolt]

West ham looking rough

And brentford yeah

[broken patio]

Their stats were still quite shit though

[wanton whale]

atleast wolves have signed someone

[latent depot]

43 out of 66 goals = Wissa, Mbeumo, Norgaard

[broken patio]

And theyve had a bad window really

[broken patio]

Wild

Brentford had the smallest number of different goalscorers

[elder cargo]

Norgaard in there is like saying me and Messi have 8 balon dors

[zenith jolt]

Bou def have also been ransacked if zab goes

[broken patio]

Wissa and mbeumo made up so much of it too

[zenith jolt]

They won’t be as good

[broken patio]

If he stays though then they're fine

[latent depot]

don't be disrespecting his 5G 4A, also he meant a lot to their defence

[wanton whale]

theyve lost their keeper, lb and cb right?

[broken patio]

Zab and Sensei was a good back 2 2 seasons ago

[wanton whale]

surely bou sign someone new at cb

[zenith jolt]

they would if zab went

[broken patio]

Probably upgraded at GK though

[zenith jolt]

not now though

[elder cargo]

The defence definitely. He is a big loss in that regard.

[wanton whale]

oh yeah true

[broken patio]

Am I stupid for considering verbruggen

Fix are good until gw12

We've signed 2 cbs too

[wanton whale]

is he not injured?

[broken patio]

Nah?

Unless I'm missing something

[zenith jolt]

idk i saw him in some bb rotation

but alone i wouldn’t

[broken patio]

He rotates quite well with other 4.5s, that's that I want too - 2x 4.5s and early bb

[latent depot]

I mean, 4.07xGA was that weird 7-0 vs Forest, Brighton defence looks better if you exclude that 🙈

[broken patio]

The best ones he rotates with is sa and areola though 💀

[zenith jolt]

Can’t really justify 4.5 rotation when Sels exists unless you are set on bb

[broken patio]

I don't wanna triple forest Def though and have Murillo milenkovic

[lone thorn]

isn't he?

[broken patio]

Maybe the play is sell milenkovic and go sels

[zenith jolt]

Perhaps

[latent depot]

wtf Marc Guiu gets to choose from Ipswich, Sunderland, Roma, and RB Leipzig for a season loan. all shite except RB IMO

[wanton whale]

Spent the last 2 days doing nothing but working out 4.5m keeper rotations and how they fit into an early bb

And I've come to the conclusion that they're all shit and it doesn't work and sels is the answer

[pale tiger]

sels + murillo

[broken patio]

Yep

[pale tiger]

let's go

[broken patio]

Means I need to sell milenkovic ansI don't want triple forest Def, also blocks a forest attacker spot

Now I don't know which Def to get

[latent depot]

I'm on this now. 5ATB dream is still alive

Any worry about Sanchez getting randomly dropped?

Or Chelsea signing another keeper?

I guess it's one of those that if it happens, you just deal with it as it comes up?

[latent depot]

yeah, WC7 so bro just has to keep it together for 6GWs

[broken patio]

I guess I gotta hope he keeps it together for 12

And just deal with it if anything happens

Sanchez+milenkovic feels clear of sels+any Chelsea def

Or any other Def around that price really

I guess I could go lacroix

Anderson got DC points in 16/27 (59%) starts where he plays at least some DM/CM excluding City/Arsenal/Chelsea, that's 16/24 (67%)

Fulham keep no cs though

[broken patio]

Tbf Fulham were like 6th last season for xga

Their defensive numbers were good but they only kept 5 cleans

Shades of forest a season prior

[broken patio]

Difference though is in style of play, and forest went and addressed their issues in the transfermarkt too
