WC4 Draft Team Talk

[outer goblet]

That’s crazy tbf.

[runic veldt]

I stopped there because that's boxing day

which is likely a time you want to save transfers for

[strong kelp]

The home games are debatable

For salah

To cap over haaland

Haaland 8 hat tricks, 1 away only

[storm timber]

Salah isn’t a long term hold for me either tbh. I will likely sell for Saka GW6.

[strong kelp]

Or 9 I lose count

[lavish torrent]

Only 1-2 weeks where id cap salah

[outer goblet]

I’m capping salah this week and next most likely

[viscid coral]

yeah salah was never a long term hold for me if i went for him

obviously havent looked that far ahead but there could be a chance i don’t own salah for the rest of the season

[runic veldt]

might wait a few days to make transfers

price changes slowing down

and they'll ramp up again in the last couple days

[storm timber]

Always happens

International breaks are like this

Hoping to fade an Armstrong drop tbh

Getting him on WC was a mistake, should have dropped a 4.5 to a 4 def and gotten Wood

[runic veldt]

it's funny seeing the 3 promoted teams all having good runs

[fervent socket]

how does this wc team look

[runic veldt]

not sure about getting havertz this early but it does save a transfer

[little solstice]

bro hit the button damn

[bright totem]

got a wc on with 0.1m in the bank. ive got a league with my mates and the rule is u have to have a player from a promoted team in the starting xi. no clue what to do now lol

[viscid coral]

huh

[lavish halo]

should go for 4.0 defenders each week like faes or smth

[bright totem]

yeah probs true its just they gotta start lol

thinking i could switch harwoodbellis for someone like faes

agh hes 4.1m now lol

ive got 5.5m for a midfielder if i take out buonanotte and switch guehi for faes

[lavish halo]

just sub on harwood

and upgrade buona guy

[bright totem]

hold up im cooking something up

0.4m left in bank?

bench is dry asf though

[lavish halo]

and u have to use mbuemo for two weeks

two bad weeks

[bright totem]

true

hmm

i have 7.5m when i take out mbuemo

[storm timber]

Ramsdale?

[bright totem]

thats what i was just thinking tbf

then just get a 4m keeps

[storm timber]

Yeah

[bright totem]

what u reckon the best 4m keeper is

fabianski?

i like this

[lavish halo]

yeh

[bright totem]

343 obviously

[lavish halo]

ye but why do people like mosquera so much

[bright totem]

no clue

just starts i think

[lavish halo]

ye but i can see him losing more points than earning

after that game against arsenal 💀

[bright totem]

yeh true

sits at the middle of my bench

1.hwb 2.mosquera 3. uijo is what i was gonna do

[outer goblet]

Think im 90 percent set on this. Salah to Saka and JP to Wissa in GW6.

[bright totem]

tbf i think you could switch JP for watkins

[lavish halo]

u like the semenyo pick?

[lavish halo]

[bright totem]

although i get theyve got ucl

[lavish halo]

can’t trust watkins anymore

[bright totem]

got an assist against us 😭

[outer goblet]

Way better than ESR

[lavish halo]

yeah but the fixtures 😭

[bright totem]

they they put me off semenyo

[outer goblet]

Ill be fine too bench him for those

Either way hes a 90 min man

But I'll probably keep tweaking til deadline

[lavish halo]

bench him for 5 of the next 7 fixtures?

[bright totem]

this is my team pretty much from gw1 and somehow im 3rd bottom of the league lol it doesnt even look like a bad team on paper

the palmer cap ruined me

its been stressing me out since 😭

[outer goblet]

Hmm

Maybe I'll stick to ESR

[bright totem]

lol

get minteh for short term bro

[lavish halo]

lmao i’m not sure bout esr either i was having the same problem

[outer goblet]

Nah minteh will have the same issue

[bright totem]

im selling him on gw6 probably

[outer goblet]

Im trying to save my FTs hence Ive got Raya and Havertz early

Not sure how long I'll own TAA but he looks essential

[bright totem]

is it really risky having my promotion player as ramsdale i reckon they get battered a few times

or do i just spend the extra .1 on hermansen i think we wont concede as much as them

[outer goblet]

I wouldn't overthink goalkeepers

[bright totem]

im overthinking everything 😔

[outer goblet]

Same.

[viscid coral]

Welcome to FPL

[bright totem]

just made this i think its my best shot rn

[fierce lynx]

This is my team rn but idk if I want wissa when I can get Gabriel for konsa instead

[bright totem]

dont get arsenal until gw6 tbh

[outer goblet]

Wissa is great from gw6

[bright totem]

yeah keep wissa

really thinking if i want welbeck or JP

welbeck more of a differential now

[fierce lynx]

Yeah but so is arsenal def

And I will have Mbuemo

[outer goblet]

You'll want Saka as well surely?

[fierce lynx]

Yeah I’m getting saka and hacertz

[pearl flint]

everyone will have mbeumo lmao

[fierce lynx]

Yeah but the wuestion is wissa or arsenal def

[pearl flint]

booking in a lot of transfers eh

[pearl flint]

both??

I have Wissa and Gabriel

[fierce lynx]

No budget

[pearl flint]

L

[fierce lynx]

I need one or the other

[fierce lynx]

With this team I have 0.4 budget

[pearl flint]

Gw6 onwards
Flekken
TAA Gabriel Porro
Saka kdb mbeumo rogers
Haaland Havertz Wissa

[fierce lynx]

KDB I’m not sure

[pearl flint]

Kdb should’ve had at least one attacking return last game

[fierce lynx]

Rather son

[fierce lynx]

But did he

[pearl flint]

areola with a top top save and then teammates wasting a fuck ton of chances

[fierce lynx]

Also will be rotated wirh Foden

I think

[pearl flint]

[fierce lynx]

No palmer?

[outer goblet]

Kdb is too inconsistent, will have his minutes managed when CL starts

[pearl flint]

No

[fierce lynx]

He needs to rest for cwc too

In July

[outer goblet]

Eze +2m >

[fierce lynx]

So no one’s answered my question

Ars defence or wissa

[outer goblet]

Both

Im jk

[pearl flint]

ain’t no way

[outer goblet]

honestly if you have mbeumo you dont need wissa

[pearl flint]

midtable side vs top 3 team in the league

[outer goblet]

Eze is a 90 minute talisman on pens, great fixtures. He outscores KDB easily

[pearl flint]

Have you seen city’s fix??

[fierce lynx]

Bees vs 2nd smallest club in London

[fierce lynx]

Kdb gonna blank in all of them

[outer goblet]

Foden 😍

[fierce lynx]

Savinho clear of KDB

[pearl flint]

lol

Just cope that you can’t afford kdb

[fierce lynx]

I can?

Do u even have haaland and salah

[pearl flint]

Why tf would I need Salah

[fierce lynx]

Cries in being broke

[outer goblet]

Omg 😭

[fierce lynx]

Mega copium

[pearl flint]

Haaland Saka kdb >>

[fierce lynx]

Haaland palmer salah >>

[pearl flint]

lol

Right with that shit defence

okkkk

[outer goblet]

What is this love for KDB 😭

[fierce lynx]

Defence is overrated

[pearl flint]

Only premium defenders have done well so far

[fierce lynx]

AyyKDBGlazer

[pearl flint]

Thereve been budget attackers doing as well

If not better than premiums

soooooo I know where I’m cutting costs

[fierce lynx]

Arsenal should’ve conceded about 6 goals against Villa

[pearl flint]

.

[fierce lynx]

Who else has done well

Gvardiol has been shit

Who else

Only Trent been good

But he hasn’t got an attacking return yet

So you’re wrong

[pearl flint]

Bro the top point scorers of defenders

[fierce lynx]

Rico Lewis been doing well

[pearl flint]

Are literally the premium defs

Lewis the only one matching them

you can sort the list yourself

[fierce lynx]

Yeah because arsenal got a lucky cs

And 2 cs in general

[pearl flint]

TAA Robbo VVD Gabriel Saliba Porro Romero

[fierce lynx]

Porro is good

[pearl flint]

and you think this trend won’t continue??

[fierce lynx]

That’s the only one

[pearl flint]

He’s also 5.5

[fierce lynx]

Vvd covered by konate

[pearl flint]

Your defence is a gaping hole

[fierce lynx]

I have Robbo

[pearl flint]

Cope

[fierce lynx]

Lewis better than gvardiol if Walker dosnt start

[pearl flint]

In those fixtures??

[fierce lynx]

I’m going no Tottenham

[pearl flint]

as if he covers TAA too

[fierce lynx]

So im not even considering Porro

[pearl flint]

lmaoo

TAA 24 pointer

[fierce lynx]

Taa is not going to get a 24 pointer

I’ll tell u that rn

[pearl flint]

Run it back

[fierce lynx]

That’s never happening again

[pearl flint]

[outer goblet]

Trent has been so unlucky not to haul

[fierce lynx]

Too expensive if you want salah and haaland

Which is clear

Trent is good

But just a tad bit too expensive

[pearl flint]

lol

[fierce lynx]

Gotta make sacrifices

[pearl flint]

Haaland and Salah you think they’ll continue with their ridiculous output??

[fierce lynx]

Robinson is shit

They couldn’t keep a cs against Ipswich

[outer goblet]

2 assists

[fierce lynx]

Yes

They will

[pearl flint]

lol continue coping

14 points per game is unsustainable

[outer goblet]

Robinson is the best 4.5 by far

[pearl flint]

532 points in a season when salahs best is 303

[outer goblet]

Salah will be Saka in gw6

[pearl flint]

think again mate

[fierce lynx]

Salah has been ridiculous and look at their fix

Only bad one is ars

[fierce lynx]

He won’t get 14 each game but he’ll still put up good numbers

[pearl flint]

Even in his best season Salah only had 8ppg

And there’ll be budget mids who do as well

Or even better

[outer goblet]

I cant take you seriously after saying robinson is shit sadly 😭

[fierce lynx]

8 attackers

[fierce lynx]

Fulham can’t keep a cs rn to save their lives

He is a good 4.5 option tho

But Fulham cs potential is shit

[outer goblet]

Its his attacking output

[fierce lynx]

Not for as long

[outer goblet]

Bro cropped the defense 😭

[pearl flint]

[fierce lynx]

Rico Lewis

[pearl flint]

benched gw4 we’ll be there

[fierce lynx]

Unless I do this

[outer goblet]

So when Lewis is benched and you are forced to play an Ipswich defender every week what then?

[fierce lynx]

Then I’m cooked

[outer goblet]

Balance is important

[fierce lynx]

But I’ll still have 8 attackers

Balance is for the weak hearted

[outer goblet]

no

[fierce lynx]

Teams score goals more often than defence getting cs

Easy logic

Better attackers = more points

But fr tho which one

Id have to play Gabriel tho

And id be benching wissa

[outer goblet]

1

[fierce lynx]

Luis Diaz + Salah rn

If I just had .1 more budget I could do 4.0 def > Gabriel and be sorted ffs

[pearl flint]

L

Why is JP 5.7

[outer goblet]

Konsa to Myko

[fierce lynx]

Why tf would I do that

Eve can’t keep cs

Idk tho

Also Saliba or gab?

[drowsy citrus]

Palmer + 4.5 att
Or
Eze + havertz?

[pearl flint]

Starting one or two

It’s very much different

[drowsy citrus]

Both would start if Eze and havertz
4.5 att would be a permanent bench

[pearl flint]

?????? Then who would be benched in the first scenario

[drowsy citrus]

What?

[pearl flint]

Or who would start in the second scenario

Like if you have 9 players ready to start and need 2 more then you’d pick the first one

If you have 10 players then you’d pick the second?

[drowsy citrus]

Mbuemo is on bench for now but would be basically perm start for quite a few weeks due to fixtures

• option 2 gives me a Arsenal attacker and defender and mbuemo for when every wildcards gw6 for Arsenal players

[fierce lynx]

@pearl flint are you happy with my defence now

[drowsy citrus]

Shakey gks surely?

[pearl flint]

lol sure

Don’t need to make me happy tho

[quaint axle]

Thoughts

Actually I could keep livramento in but doubt he'd get many points

[strong kelp]

Not amazing

You have 4.5m mid and fwd

Onana is essentially 6th attacker

[quaint axle]

I can get adama in for winks

[strong kelp]

Which is bad

I could sell palmer and redistribute the money

[quaint axle]

😬

[strong kelp]

Or scroll up and look at some teams to

You have 7 attackers

Some teams have 8

You have 6 with a cdm as the 6th

Wait

Is left your team

Same issue there

5 attackers only

[quaint axle]

Idk how I can get any more without sacrificing too much

[strong kelp]

Scroll up and I already said sell palmer

[quaint axle]

Don't think selling palmer is worth it, hes getting good points

[strong kelp]

Ok

[wintry arrow]

I aint sellin palmer as well he finna cook

[strong kelp]

I didnt want to sell but upgrading 5 spots was big

[wintry arrow]

Fairs thats a good point

Im still waiting for a 0.1 from robinson/esr so i can finally finish my tram

[strong kelp]

I got a 2nd keeper, robbo to taa, 4.5m to porro, 4.0m to saliba, 5th mid to semenyo

[runic veldt]

everyone going down for england

[wintry arrow]

Thats solid

[strong kelp]

I'm missing 0.1m for lewis if I want him

[runic veldt]

stay on that bench eze

[strong kelp]

And 0.1m for gw6 moves but will have risers to cover

[wintry arrow]

Is lewis guaranteed starter?

[strong kelp]

No

Reckon we get leaks

2x 3pm Saturday

And early kick off vs Newcastle

[runic veldt]

lewis I'm still 50/50

[wintry arrow]

Ah alright

[runic veldt]

or more like 60/40 getting

[wintry arrow]

Same

[strong kelp]

I'm leaning to get cos I'm now on taa, porroz saliba

[runic veldt]

you'd get in that situation? I wouldn't

[strong kelp]

Yea cos I can bench

And play I know when he plays

[runic veldt]

I'd never feel good benching a premium/top team defender

[outer goblet]

Is this THE perfect draft? 🔥 😳

[runic veldt]

eerily similar to mine atm

[outer goblet]

We must be doing something right then 😭

[runic veldt]

(whether that's a good thing is up to interpretation)

[strong kelp]

Robinson, esr dead picks

[runic veldt]

agreed

don't have the fulham guys but same price points

[outer goblet]

rude

any replacements for esr

[runic veldt]

if you're gonna start with a brentford guy I feel like I'd rather wissa

too much money to be benching

[outer goblet]

It makes little difference to me. I'll only bench him vs city

Plus ill most likely own both come gw6

I dont get the robinson hate personally. Hes been great so far, fulham have dissapointed tho

[strong kelp]

No clean sheets vs Ipswich and Leicester

Got lucky with first assist

Would have konsa, guehi, van hecke over him

[outer goblet]

Valid, was mainly holding in hope they rise

[runic veldt]

might end up trent/porro/lewis

(konsa 1st sub)

[outer goblet]

stop copying me

[runic veldt]

had 2 of those since gw1

[strong kelp]

Best draft still don't @ me

[outer goblet]

Same

[outer goblet]

Semenyo for his 2 good fixtures in like 9 idk

[runic veldt]

Raya Fabi
TAA Porro Lewis Konsa Greaves
Salah Jota Eze Minteh Rogers
Haaland Wissa JP

[strong kelp]

It's not the best but Rogers being a 8th mid is the key anyway

Also I can't afford minteh/wissa

Only semenyo/welbeck

For wc4 anyway, gw6 I'll have money

[outer goblet]

Idk about minteh

[runic veldt]

bruh how I have less squad value than you and a premium keeper

oh saliba

explains it

wait how much are you on?

100.5 here

[strong kelp]

101.0m

Not selling value

2 gks

So I save 0.5m on gk but lose 1.5m on saliba

So 1m difference

[outer goblet]

Why not downgrade saliba, get raya and a 4.0?

[strong kelp]

Which is minteh/wissa bascially

Premium gks are fake news

[runic veldt]

not a big difference

[strong kelp]

The key is having a wc6 team without having a wc

[runic veldt]

I'm just kinda hoping we get some clarity on sepp vdb in the coming weeks

if I ever need to make a defender transfer (hopefully not)

[outer goblet]

Raya is set and forget for the whole season tho

[strong kelp]

That gw6 team is literally the wc6 template (with gw4 info)

[outer goblet]

we gonna feast when mbeumo, wissa and the arsenal lads all rise

[strong kelp]

I dont own them lol

If anything we have to make Sunday transfers

We don't own them all*

[runic veldt]

wc won't affect rises anyway

[outer goblet]

yeah true

[runic veldt]

we will be the ones influencing the rise

hehe

[outer goblet]

Damn thats powerful

[strong kelp]

I dont fully believe wc not affecting it

[runic veldt]

Using wildcard? Should I make any other changes or is this good?

it's the one thing I wish fpl made more transparent

[strong kelp]

I like this

Game needs more randomness

[strong kelp]

Gks too expensive, no premium def, better options than esr, onana is cdm, isak maybe not best for gw4 onwards

But

It's fine objectively

Apart from gk

[outer goblet]

Alright Esr aint rising. Might bring in Minteh

[strong kelp]

Have like 4 days to wait

[runic veldt]

don't think more than 1 or 2 players will rise until the final few days

this is the IB dormant period

[strong kelp]

Friday there will be rises

But ye

We were also one more blank from 6.8m eze

[outer goblet]

agreed casuals wont wait

How has isak not dropped tho

[fervent socket]

where could i get the money for saliba? rogers to winks?

[outer goblet]

If you want an Arsenal defender, Flekken to Raya and Saliba to a 4.5 should work

[strong kelp]

Fpl manipulation

[outer goblet]

Noooo it's not.

[strong kelp]

Yes or 4.5m def down

[runic veldt]

is eze still trending down/

[strong kelp]

Doubt

[fervent socket]

porro and rogers or saliba and winks?

[runic veldt]

depends how much you intend to use rogers

[pearl flint]

@strong kelp ban for being overpowered imo

[strong kelp]

They don't call me the new kaki for nothing

[fierce lynx]

Not at all

[strong kelp]

Harry (@FPL_Harry) on X

Full Wildcard Video is coming next week but here is a potential GW4 Wildcard Draft! 🤩 #FPL

Potential Planned Transfers…
Eze/Diaz ➡️ Mbeumo
Robertson ➡️ Gabriel

Notes 📝
🔘This leaves £0.1 ITB for me
🔘I understand Mazraoui isn’t optimal so feel free to replace but rotates

Twitter · Sep 7, 2024, 2:04 PM

This is why no one is on wc4

[runic veldt]

this isn't even that ba-oh. solanke.

[fervent socket]

1 or 2?

[naive kayak]

Why do you need 4 defenders and 8 attackers? Just asking for your bench to piss you off

[strong kelp]

For the record jota finishes IB today

Diaz Tuesday night/wed morning

Jota also only played 2 mins

Jota is the safer pick out of the two but Diaz bigger differential

[strong kelp]

Tbf 4.5m def rotation is fine, also wc4 needs to last like 25 gws +

Some depth is fine

Also 8 attackers is fine cos 8th is Rogers who is only 0.6m more than fodder

1.1m extra committed on bench is fine imo

[naive kayak]

It’s all fine, just something I wouldn’t do because knowing my luck I’d be benching 10 points every week

[strong kelp]

Benching points is fine

Cos I'd know exactly which 11 I want beforehand

I wouldn't be annoyed if a player I was never starting got points

Play the percentage game

[naive kayak]

It's the 60/40 decisions that would piss me off

fine if there is a clear bench option

[runic veldt]

it's just part of the game innit

[naive kayak]

its the part that makes me want to end it all

[runic veldt]

it's up to you how much extra you want to pay for the potential of maximizing good fixtures

[strong kelp]

Luckily I'm very stubborn so I dont waiver too much on picks or first 11

People worrying about captaincy before deadline, and I already know my next 4 captains

[pearl flint]

Diaz scored tho

fpl points where

[fierce lynx]

Is an ars defender really necessary if I’d have 2 ars attackers in gw6

[surreal mirage]

GW4 wildcard, thoughts?

[strong kelp]

no

[strong kelp]

no keane but fine

[surreal mirage]

Who should I replace him with

[strong kelp]

faes, harwood bellis, mosquera

actually wrong answer

4.5m def potentially

with the 0,6m itb unless you have that there for a reason

collins rotates well with dunk

[winged nymph]

What’s wrong with Keane

Branthwaite out so he’s a good option for now

[strong kelp]

the part for now

brainthwaite will be back

wc4 is gonna last 20+ gws

you dont want a dead 4.0m def on your bench

even if they might only play twice

also keane is a big reason why everton are shit

[winged nymph]

They kept cs

Last week

[strong kelp]

against doncaster in league 2 but ok

[winged nymph]

Wait nvm

[strong kelp]

i'm not stopping anyone from getting keane

you can get him

[winged nymph]

He scored

Ye Keane sucks nvm

I remember a match I watched

[fierce lynx]

Gabriel or wissa

Well

Gabriel + 4.5 fwd or 4.0 def and wissa ?

[strong kelp]

both

[wintry arrow]

Best 4.0’s?

[strong kelp]

same question was asked 6 comments up

[fierce lynx]

Budget issues

One or the other

[strong kelp]

wissa

[strong kelp]

@inland bluff

[inland bluff]

Thank you

I dont like the no ssalah draft though

[strong kelp]

Right isn't no salah

Well it is but not a draft

[inland bluff]

oh its gw6

i see

Let me see if i can afford this with all the price drops

[runic veldt]

guehi over villa def is an interesting choice but there's not much in it

[strong kelp]

Both probably 1 cs gw4,5

But I won't need konsa gw6-9 so guehi better after gw9 I think

Arguably better def too

[runic veldt]

probably similar-ish

[strong kelp]

Konsa never getting bps is an issue

[runic veldt]

if I go trent/porro/lewis every chance I won't need a 4th anyway

[strong kelp]

You need a 4th with lewis

?

[runic veldt]

who knows, if he was to lose his place

[strong kelp]

Think rodri has a huge impact on lewis

Rodri didn't play for Spain 1st game tho

But expect him to be rushed back for gw5

[strong kelp]

rodri is playing today lol

[runic veldt]

jota 90 😬

at least he's back early

[surreal mirage]

First pic is gw4 wildcard and second will be my first 3 transfers

Thoughts?

[strong kelp]

Prefer wissa over dcl but yea its fine

[pearl flint]

That defence tho

[brazen lichen]

Chad midfielder with hatrick potential vs Virgin 6 point on good day defender

[surreal mirage]

Brighton villa and Liverpool?

[pearl flint]

Brighton Villa playing them weekly

[fierce lynx]

Thoughts

[native glade]

thoughts?

[naive kayak]

I’d probably downgrade wissa so you can move to mbeumo in 6 from month

[naive kayak]

Midfield looks pretty weak but the rest is pretty solid

[native glade]

how can i upgrade it

[naive kayak]

Gvardiol - Lewis maybe

Szobo - jota/diaz

[native glade]

well how about

porro - digne
szobo - diaz

[naive kayak]

Also fine

[native glade]

adama or rogers?

[naive kayak]

Rogers has better fixtures

[fierce lynx]

I’m doing diaz to Mbuemo

[naive kayak]

And keeping minteh?

[fierce lynx]

Yeah but will bench

[naive kayak]

Wc4 to get this gw6 onwards?

[strong kelp]

Def is pretty dead

Digne and Lewis can't easily be dropped

Vdb doesn't play atm

Backline could be taa and Greaves only

[surreal mirage]

Cold?

What do I spend the 1.4 on

[strong kelp]

Robbo to taa

Keane to myko

Consider how you want to get more arsenal and mbeuno gw6

[naive kayak]

They can just go to other 4.5s no? Vdb will be 5th bench unless he starts to play and that’ll add an extra rotational player

[naive kayak]

Dream team

You’d hope that Lewis and Digne don’t get dropped the same week… but could also be more safe with the digne pick and go konsa

[strong kelp]

Yes

Pick 1 not 2

It's like the barco/quansah equivalent

But gw4 version

[runic veldt]

I would like lewis but have concerns

gonna wait until closer

and not keen on spending on gvar

[strong kelp]

Ye no gvard for now

Maybe gw8/9

Can't afford Lewis unless onana rises lol

[naive kayak]

But with hindsight and still no brain cells

[strong kelp]

Yes

[naive kayak]

I didn’t get burned by quansah so I would like to feel some of it

[strong kelp]

Same

My biggest question is diaz/jota

And wc is pretty nailed

[naive kayak]

Diaz for me, Jota couldn’t even score against Scotland

[naive kayak]

What’s it looking like?

[surreal mirage]

eze to mbuemo and Robertson/taa to saliba?

[naive kayak]

Both solid teams, I just don’t have the balls to get rid of Salah

[strong kelp]

Easy sell for me

10m mids with good fixtures outscores salah with average fixtures

Or at least matches him

[naive kayak]

You’re probably right but I don’t see liverpools fixtures as being average… plenty of good fixtures for a few weeks still

Hence why I’m looking at saka + salah

[surreal mirage]

Salahs fixtures are better than both palmers and sakas, no?

[strong kelp]

They're avg good from gw6-8

9 onwards becomes bad territory

[surreal mirage]

Digne or konsa

[strong kelp]

Safe but boring or risky with potential

[naive kayak]

Where was this attitude with me earlier?

When jazzy calling me risky with potential?

[strong kelp]

🐟

🎣

[naive kayak]

Is that a threat?

[runic veldt]

it's a question of how often you want to captain him

way I see it

[surreal mirage]

Calvert Lewin or Pedro?

[naive kayak]

True I probably don’t captain him from 6 onwards

[runic veldt]

man utd fans

tell us about wheatley

really scraping the barrel for 4.5 fwds

(as is often the case)

I'm going 8 playable attackers tho

[naive kayak]

I’m not actually a united fan but he’s not a playing 4.5… think he only got added to the game this week because he was on the bench against Liverpool

When hojlund is back he has no chance of playing

[surreal mirage]

Welbeck Pedro or Calvert lewin?

[strong kelp]

useful

for some

until gw6 anyway

then haaland/wissa/havertz should be gw6 meta

[surreal mirage]

Should I go for a 4m midfielder instead of rogers and get jota or Diaz instead of mitoma?

[strong kelp]

yes

[naive kayak]

Lemme know when you find a 4.0m midfielder, I would like to own them too

[strong kelp]

he can jsut about afford 4.5m mid and 7.5m diaz/jota if own early

[viscid coral]

What is the liverpool mid pick rn

Curious

[strong kelp]

hard to say

jota arguably better pick

cos he arrives 2 days before diaz

but diaz lower owned and has done better

i reckon i lean jota come deadline

[surreal mirage]

😭

I can do this

Idk if it’s the play tho

[strong kelp]

do you not own jota or diaz before their rises?

or pedro

or saka

lol

[pearl flint]

fr lol

[surreal mirage]

no 😭

Is Pedro really worth going for?

He’ll probably only play 60 mins against Ipswich

[surreal mirage]

If I play wildcard do I lose my 1 free transfer I got that week?

[naive kayak]

Yes

[wintry arrow]

Huh i thought yu dont lose transfer wen yu use wc

[surreal mirage]

Thoughts?

[naive kayak]

you don't lose the ones you already had, but you don't gain the one that you would have got that week

[strong kelp]

never knew the wc change is that hard to understand lmao

[viscid coral]

Did you read those fpl chat antics last night

[strong kelp]

just never guessed that you have 2fts, you will have 2fts still next gw was hard to understand

1ft and having 1ft etc...

but fair

[fierce lynx]

I used my 2ft

Then I hit wc

I’m built diffrent

What’s better wissa, Mbuemo and minteh or 4.5 fwd Mbuemo and Luis Diaz for gw6 onwards?

[strong kelp]

1

[pearl flint]

sample team from analcord

some of them also just playing around with picks

[viscid coral]

Probably what i would do

That or mosquera flekken over lewis

[naive kayak]

DCL aint going anywhere near my team

[strong kelp]

This and its a standard wc4

8/15

[spice roost]

why not semenyo over minteh?

or is that the full budget?

[strong kelp]

Cos minteh better gw4,5

[fierce lynx]

Jazzy how are you doing today

[spice roost]

ah ok, i didnt know if this was a long term thing or what's the timeframe

[strong kelp]

Mid ty

[strong kelp]

James suggested sterling

[surreal mirage]

W? And what do I spend the 1.4 on

[naive kayak]

@golden shore talk in here

[golden shore]

What u want me to do then

Im putting the best 11 with the easiest opponent

and the ones that will acc play

[naive kayak]

You’ve got 5 defenders 4.5+

And you’ve got 2 playing gks

You can save 1m straight away downgrading two of them

[golden shore]

becuase when pope has man city or chelsea , flekken has ipswishi

I look for keepers that cancel eachothers fixtures out

[surreal mirage]

What changes do I make

[naive kayak]

If you want to do that then sure, I just like to have one gk and forget about it

[surreal mirage]

I wanna replace Rogers but idk with who

[golden shore]

Keep rogers

he wilo get points soon

hes just unlucky

And has easy fixtures

@naive kayak

[surreal mirage]

I might get minteh instead

[golden shore]

how do u get the thing where when ur bench players has more points then main team , it auto replaces them?

[naive kayak]

I like minteh but only for 2

[naive kayak]

That’s not a thing

[golden shore]

ive seen it

its happened to me

Idk how

[naive kayak]

If one of your main players doesn’t play, someone from your bench gets subbed in

[surreal mirage]

Cookkk 😫

[naive kayak]

Robbo over konate?

[surreal mirage]

Idk if there’s a point

And if I do that I won’t be able to Pedro —> wissa in gw6

[naive kayak]

Fair

[fierce lynx]

Why is that jazzy

You not feeling very jolly today?

[native glade]

thoughts?

[pearl flint]

No such thing in fpl

only if ur starting player doesn’t play

that’s also why it’s kinda useless to spend so much on the bench

Bench player = 0 points

Ie you’re handicapping yourself with what seems like at least 1.5M on the bench

While others have say 83.5M worth of players to earn points you only have 82M worth

[surreal mirage]

This was gonna be my wc team

But now that odegaard is injured havertz might play midfield

I could possibly buy isak instead

[naive kayak]

Odegard being injured sort of comments my saka + wissa team instead of the one with havertz in it

[surreal mirage]

This looks cold

But no premium defender is a concern maybe

GW6 Diaz —-> Mbeumo and Konate to timber?

[naive kayak]

No palmer = can’t be cold

[pearl flint]

Timber??

[runic veldt]

considering a draft with saliba over raya but money will be tiiiiight

[outer goblet]

Im not confident on Havertz anymore Icl

might double up on Ars defense

[naive kayak]

Raya as my arsenal defence make things slightly easier for me but I’d need to get him in now which isn’t ideal

[desert solstice]

latest team

[runic veldt]

if not raya the 4.5 keeper I want is flekken and I'd have to play him in these 2 games, basically it comes down to how highly I rate brentford defensively

(will still start fabi just in case)

[runic veldt]

this is eerily similar to my team

[strong kelp]

Everyone will have the same team gw6

[runic veldt]

still got palmer in mine

[tropic saddle]

thoughts on this

[desert solstice]

only player im missing is trent

and like havertz but cant really have salah + havertz so thats fine

[runic veldt]

I'm not even sold on havertz, too much positional uncertainty with the injuries and stuff

(at least to start wtih him)

[strong kelp]

I'll want him gw6

But not before

[surreal mirage]

Is he not a starter?

[runic veldt]

not yet

[surreal mirage]

I swear he’s started the last 3 games?

[pearl flint]

yea while waiting for cala to bed in

[surreal mirage]

He just got injured, no?

[pearl flint]

yes but shouldnt be for long

anw timber is imo a ft waiting to happen

[strong kelp]

Well some arsenal fans in fpl chat thinks white, saliba and gabriel will never be rotated so timber, tomiyasu, kiwior, zinchenko and calafiori are 5 way rotating the lb spot

[surreal mirage]

Dang

How do I get Arsenal defense in

[strong kelp]

For the record they're stupid

But get timber if you think he plays every game

With 4 others who can play lb

[strong kelp]

Isak/Jackson to pedro/wissa

4.5m to arse def

[surreal mirage]

Who do you think is better to swap Jackson or isak

[runic veldt]

timber can probably eat some white minutes

not sure if arteta sees it that way but he's naturally rb

[strong kelp]

Both close enough

Haven't changed my draft since saturday

Wc4 is free

[runic veldt]

isak is only good for 2 weeks

[strong kelp]

Everton away fine gw7

City is still at home gw6

Jackson I guess I still better

But chelsea init cba

[runic veldt]

newcastle don't look convincing either

[surreal mirage]

I could swap isak with Watkins and put Gabriel instead of a 4.5

[runic veldt]

but isak is sill him

[surreal mirage]

And Jackson with Pedro

[strong kelp]

I would do that yes

Watkins still good pick if fit

[surreal mirage]

Is he a minutes risk tho?

Subbed out 60th minute for every gw so far

And duran has looked much better

[runic veldt]

if you believe in fixtures

he has 4 great ones in a row

but you imagine they'll want to be careful with him given that they now have 2 games a week

worth mentioning duran is with colombia too

[surreal mirage]

If I take isak out what do I spend the 1.4 on

I’m 0.1 short of mbeumo 😭

[runic veldt]

robbo

over konate

you could even go to trent if you do jackson to wisa

[surreal mirage]

Idk if robbo is worth it

I’m a Liverpool fan and he’s looked poor offensively

And I’m pretty sure Trent takes both corners now

[tropic saddle]

trent does

1m free tho and the same defensive returns

robbo will probably pick up a few assists

[surreal mirage]

Would it be better to pick up mitoma instead of minteh

Instead

[runic veldt]

minteh's internationals ended 2 days ago

mitoma is still playing

could be a factor

[surreal mirage]

Or I could go raya for Arsenal defense instead

And get mbeumo anyway

🥶🥶

Something like this

[strong kelp]

Fully expecting " I had him on my draft I should have picked him "

When someone has made 50 different drafts

[surreal mirage]

🤣

[surreal mirage]

Jazzy what do u think of this

[strong kelp]

They all look the same lol

Also doesn't matter what I think

Honest opinion is its not as good as mine

And I will say that to any wc that's isn't mine

[surreal mirage]

😔

Can I see yours

[gusty mason]

Jazzy how many times have you posted the same images

[strong kelp]

10+

Cos people ask

And it's doesn't change

It*

[gusty mason]

[surreal mirage]

Why guehi over dunk or digne?

[strong kelp]

I'm not like you smooth spending 5 weeks deciding between haaland and salah and still not knowing 1 day before deadline

[strong kelp]

Triple brighton already, only need guehi gw4,5

I have players for gw6-8

And guehi is better gw10+ than villa

[surreal mirage]

What about porro

[strong kelp]

What about him

[surreal mirage]

I don’t think any of his next 5 fixtures are considered easy

[naive kayak]

Unless you also have saka then you can have Salah and havertz easily no?

[surreal mirage]

Is he there for attacking threat

[strong kelp]

Gw8-15 for porro is decent

And yes

Gw4-7 is meg

Meh

But he pisses me off with random returns

Tbf gw5 is ok, gw6 is utd

So I'm happy to play

[desert solstice]

Saka is better than havettz

[naive kayak]

Newest draft

[surreal mirage]

Gw4 Gw6

If I had 1 mil more could’ve gotten Robertson instead of konate

[strong kelp]

gw6 no arsenal attack 😢

[surreal mirage]

True that

Wait

Jackson —> havertz

Pedro plays against United then gw7 switch him to wissa

[plucky quest]

If you don't have triple Arsenal gw6 you're fucked

Everyone that wildcards gw6 will have triple Arsenal

[wintry arrow]

No ur not 🤣🤣🤣

Yu jst need double minimum

[fierce lynx]

Maybe 1 defence and saka

Don’t think Havertz will be as viable if ode is out

[pearl flint]

Ode ain’t out for long

[lavish torrent]

Even if ode is out for a while surely ur gonna get another defender for that run

[fierce lynx]

Nah I think I’ll probably go for saka and havertz if havertz still a 9

If not saka and arsenal defender

[hasty roost]

is my team cooked?

[fierce lynx]

3 weeks

And will arteta really risk him straight away?

He’ll probably be back in gw7 but it’s sou (h)

Don’t think he will need to be played

Also rember what happened last time when SOU came to the emirates

[naive kayak]

Very much so

Never have I seen a more cooked team tbh

[pearl flint]

uh he will lol

[naive kayak]

Think I’m locked in to pretty much this team… can go for a different gk and keep money in the bank for gw6 moves

Onana might become Rogers also

[winged nymph]

What’s hype with minteh

[outer goblet]

Best 5.5

[naive kayak]

Really good 5.5, great fixtures for next 2

Decided this will be my team in gw6

I’ll just have to work back from it to get to my wc4 team 😂

[outer goblet]

You have 5 fts?

coz you'll be making 5 transfers for gw6

[naive kayak]

Negative, hence why I need to work back lol

Think I’ll have 3

Gk wouldn’t be raya so that saves 1

Could do eze to mbeumo in 7… that saves the other 1

Easy

[outer goblet]

Not tempted to move Salah to Saka to free up funds?

[naive kayak]

Nah, I think I’m only holding saka until they play Liverpool

So that’ll free up some funds to upgrade semenyo who I think has pretty bad fixtures around the same time

[outer goblet]

Fair but Arsenal have a crazy good run after Liverpool

[naive kayak]

Do they? Had it in my head it wasn’t that great

Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea

Then it becomes great

Will get saka back in after Chelsea, probably downgrading Salah at that point

[outer goblet]

Newcastle and Chelsea even away is good

normally high scoring games

Then yeah after is amazing

[naive kayak]

Not awful fixtures, just feel there’s probably better that I could target

Could get in kdb/foden during those games

[outer goblet]

Foden is a good shout

will be interesting to see how quickly he gets his form back

[naive kayak]

Yeah only if he’s actually playing 75+ minutes

Means the semenyo upgrade wouldn’t really be an upgrade though

[silent crag]

I wanted to wild card and here we're the transfers that I wanted to make
Gvardiol-Gabriel/Saliba
Isak-Haaland
Saka-Onana
Myolenko-Porro
Ward-Fabianski

[naive kayak]

What transfer did you already make?

[silent crag]

If I remember it was solanke to pedro

[naive kayak]

You could probably hold off until game week 6 to save the wildcard if you wanted. I would say you’ve got too many playing players and you can save money downgrading a few people

[silent crag]

Any examples of that?

Maybe I can get a 4 mil midfielder but for a mil more onana is quite ok

[naive kayak]

4.5m is the cheapest defender

In my opinion you’ll have too much money sitting on your bench every week but that’s just my opinion

[silent crag]

I'm looking to rotate em every week according to fixtures

As this week I'm benching wood as he has liverpool

[naive kayak]

Fair enough, it’s just personal preference really

[onyx kraken]

Should this be wildcarded? 2 fts and 2 mill itb. Cant afford Salah, thinking of Semenyo -> Diaz. Or should it be wildcarded?

[wintry arrow]

Adama or esr

[strong kelp]

No wc

Wheres my onana rise

[wintry arrow]

Get robinson

[drowsy citrus]

Robertson and Semenyo
Or
eze and digne
Already own Trent and Salah

[strong kelp]

Fuck sold mbuemo last night , might want him back

Lost 0.1m potentially

[hasty roost]

good team?

[strong kelp]

No use wc

Scroll up to find about 50 drafts

[native glade]

any changes i could do? my wildcard is active
got 0.5m

[drowsy citrus]

Honestly no

[hasty roost]

what should i change

[drowsy citrus]

Wildcard honestly

Double wolves is criminal
Rice out for next game
Odegaard out for atleast 3 weeks
Faes would keep up what he did

[hallow sonnet]

thoughts?

[hasty roost]

swap hee chan for eze?

[drowsy citrus]

Swap anyone for hee chan

But honestly id just wildcard

There’s atleast 6 changes I’d make

[hasty roost]

what does wildcard do

[drowsy citrus]

Unlimited transfers that week

And your team keeps like that

[strong kelp]

I would read the rules first

Useful if playing a game

Then come back

[hasty roost]

so i can just swap as many as i want for just this week?

[drowsy citrus]

Yes

[strong kelp]

Not austin

Rest is template enough

Do think 4x 4.5m def is suss

But sacrifice of owning palmer

[drowsy citrus]

Tbf 4.5m defenders aren’t terrible this year

[strong kelp]

Because its a 3 game sample

[drowsy citrus]

Think you need atleast Robbo or Trent tbh

[strong kelp]

Ignoring arsenal, city, pool

Guess how many cs from the other 51 fixtures

[drowsy citrus]

Ain’t it like 8

[strong kelp]

From the other 17 teams

[drowsy citrus]

Or 6

[strong kelp]

Yea 9

[drowsy citrus]

Horrendous

[hasty roost]

this looking better?

[strong kelp]

9/51

[drowsy citrus]

That’s my current team rn

Idk how I feel about Lewis

Like city defence is so useful but rotation is eh

[strong kelp]

Ake injury helps

[hallow sonnet]

austin?

[strong kelp]

Lol

[hallow sonnet]

what does it mean

[strong kelp]

You have a player call Austin in your team

He is not a good pick

As he blocks 3 spurs if you ever need 3 spurs players

[drowsy citrus]

Yh that’s the thing tempting me
I’m going Pedro -> Wissa gw6 so I need atleast 0.4 in the bank

If I take out dunk for example

If I go down to 2 starting 4.0 defenders

[strong kelp]

You need 4.5m 4th def with lewis

[drowsy citrus]

I can get Eze in and then wissa gw6

[strong kelp]

Or me with taa/porro/saliba and maybe lewis

[drowsy citrus]

That’s criminally insane

[strong kelp]

We get city leaks gw6

Guehi could be lewis if I gain 0.1m more

[drowsy citrus]

It’s either for me
Eze + Pedro now then wissa + mgw gw6
Or mgw + Pedro now and then change Pedro to wissa gw6 saving me a transfer

[hasty roost]

ok im running this

[drowsy citrus]

Honestly I’d go raya + dunk over saliba + verbruggen

[strong kelp]

They're different

Raya dunk means I play dunk most games

Saliba means i play saliba most games

Although bonus has changed

Using raya/leno and saliba/Robinson last year

Raya had 16 cs and leno 10 cs

Raya scored 2 points more

Saliba and Robinson was 60 points

Same minutes

[drowsy citrus]

Wish I could go Diaz icl but it meant I could have an Arsenal attacker and with now having chiesa it’s a bigger chance of him being rested

[strong kelp]

The gap between 4.5m and premium def is way bigger than premium gk and 4.5m gk

[drowsy citrus]

Eh I just like raya as an Arsenal asset tbh. 5.5m for one of if not the best defence in the league

[strong kelp]

Like I said, he scored 2 points more than a 4.5m gk with 6 more cs

Outscored by pickford who had 3 less

I'm never picking raya

(I also owned raya last year)

He had 6 bonus the whole season last year

Already on 4

Not sustainable imo

[drowsy citrus]

If I wanted saliba instead of raya

Cause I want wissa gw6 id need a way to downgrade by 0.5

Unless I go Lewis -> saliba and then dunk -> greaves

[strong kelp]

Mgw is the issue really

[drowsy citrus]

Honestly after this week

His run isn’t horrible

Liverpool , Arsenal and maybe Chelsea and the rest are nice looking fixtures

[strong kelp]

Fairs

They scored 3 goals vs soton, wolves, Bournemouth

Easy pass for me

Wood gw6 is poss over wissa tho

[drowsy citrus]

Idrk any good 6m or below mids tbh

I’ve got Rodger’s and Adama

Oh wait semenyo?

[strong kelp]

Yes

My gw6 team with 4 fts

[naive kayak]

Mine

[drowsy citrus]

If I ran this
Then gw6 did welbeck/pedro not sure yet to wissa
I’d have 0.4m incase i wanna do any changes

[strong kelp]

Nice

[outer goblet]

why tf are you playing a back 5

[strong kelp]

Hes not
