WC6 Draft Talk

[keen copper]

Why would you g et saliba in

[copper willow]

Huh

I meant past two fpl seasons I’ve always had Gabriel over saliba as Arsenal def pick
Now this at the start of this season I opted with saliba instead but obviously Gabriel is the one out scoring him now😭

[bright cloud]

This genuinely looks like a team before wc

[copper willow]

Well it is
Cuz it should be like this if it’s wc

[bright cloud]

Then why you posting it

[copper willow]

Who

[hasty kite]

This is WC6 draft talk

[mortal vortex]

do I catch Gabriel's price rise

[primal forge]

This is mine

I mean I could go vardy to a 4.5 and wood to like Jackson

But I will have to bench semenyo

Or I could just use a free transfer

[hardy kiln]

fire

how much total value do u have

[oak grail]

Can someone help me with understanding the subtle transfers/WC/price rise interaction. I've selected my transfers, then press next and am about to confirm the transfers at the cost of a load of points. Can I press confirm and then later this week activate WC and get those points back? Is that how it works?

[primal forge]

100.4 I think

[primal forge]

Just activate it now

But yes it works that way

But to not accidentally make a -32

Just activate it first

[oak grail]

That's my fear

[primal forge]

Just activate it first no point hesitating

[hardy kiln]

fuck thats good. you’re not priced out of any moves

is 100.2 bad?

[oak grail]

Helps increase player prices apparently

[primal forge]

For people in your team

Because they’re popular

And they will increase in price

So you get them

And catch the price increase

And sell them later for more

[primal forge]

I was at 100.7 at some point lol

[hardy kiln]

wait

[primal forge]

But it really isn’t

[fossil arch]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hardy kiln]

i mean sale value

[primal forge]

Ah

[hardy kiln]

theres no way ur sale value wouldve been 100.7 alrrady

[primal forge]

I think 100.1

[hardy kiln]

ah nice

[oak grail]

We critiquing wc6 picks while we're at it?

[hardy kiln]

ive got 0.2 more but doesnt mean much

[hardy kiln]

wheres palmer

[primal forge]

First of

Double pool Defense?

[oak grail]

Yih

[primal forge]

I’d rather one Liv attack one Defense

[oak grail]

Second best defense if I'm not mistaken

[primal forge]

Refer

[primal forge]

Well we got some holes

I’d say we’re 4th

Even behind utd on a good day

With Liverpool Defense you’re looking for attacking returns

[oak grail]

I can lose Robertson but not sure for who. I'm dropping jota from my midfield too.

[primal forge]

But we all know

They don’t come by easily

Drop him for a 4.0

And then you can upgrade so many other areas

Like adama

[oak grail]

7.2 mill for a Liverpool attacker in that case. Who would you recommend?

Maybe mbueno actually

[hardy kiln]

szlobbu

szlobby

thoughts on this team? pretty stoked with it aye

[oak grail]

Dna about the Everton lad

Looks solid tho

But again I dno what I'm talking about 😂

[hardy kiln]

dcl?

stacked long term team

[bright cloud]

Defence too weak imo

[slim copper]

downgrade salah

[fast hedge]

Need some opinions, I really wanna fit semenyo in the squad before he rises (plan on playing in 6 and 7) and then dcl in 8910 any thoughts 🤔

Benching dcl feels like a mistake tho

[keen copper]

Default discord wc team

[fast hedge]

Fair 😭

[bright cloud]

Old kits

[harsh sparrow]

This draft okey and take a risk Lewis? I haven’t felt pep roulette this year

[hardy kiln]

@keen copper

[keen copper]

Hows this

[runic wolf]

Imo thats good icl

[queen pebble]

hows the draft looking

[hasty kite]

Myko 4.3👁️ might have to buy

[harsh sparrow]

Rather aina instead of Moreno, he is more nailed.

[hardy kiln]

moreno mins risk

[hardy kiln]

pretty good team tbh

[arctic portal]

Gvar really?

[hardy kiln]

pretty cracked team

[keen copper]

WHICH

[fast hedge]

2

Team value is not your friend tho damn

[hasty kite]

McNeil + Wood or DCL Semenyo?

[fast hedge]

Dcl sememyo if you have an 8th

McNeil + wood if you dont

[zealous geode]

P much almost set

[fast hedge]

I feel like I'd rather a 4.5 + wood / dcl

Over konate and stewart

[zealous geode]

Don't need 8 attackers

[fast hedge]

Yeah but you will need someone 8 9 10

Unless you wanna play semenyo 💀

[zealous geode]

He'll be out by gw8

[fast hedge]

Seems like a waste

[zealous geode]

He's a 2 week punt

[fast hedge]

But fair nuff

I don't hate having 1m in the bank tbf

[zealous geode]

If I'm being honest trent wasn't even in my wc plans initially

[fast hedge]

I think he's a set an forget tbh

The quality upgrade with Trent is so much more than a lot of the attackers tbh

[round pivot]

McNeil a pick? Plan on benching him for 2 gws and start against Ipswich fulham soton

Like this team, only weaknesses are bench defenders and no Liverpool attacker

[mortal vortex]

Is there any good 4.4 def

[clever pike]

mykolenko could be good after branthwaite is back

hes prolly the best 4.4

[mortal vortex]

Not him

He's 4.3 also

Aside from him nothing ig

Wish I would've had aina now lol

[clever pike]

cant u save .1 anywhere else

[mortal vortex]

No

I mean

I will have to

Ig I will just hope Virginia becomes 3.9 before deadline

[clever pike]

who isvirginia

💀

a 4.0 price dropping is crazy ngl

[radiant raft]

barco is price locked

[primal forge]

maddison or bowen

[fleet minnow]

Bowen

[fast hedge]

Ait nouri

Wolves fixtures are good soon

[mortal vortex]

Yeah

Just noticed he was 4.4

He's basically a winger

[arctic portal]

Before you post, does your team satisfy the following:

4.5 4.0 / 4.5 4.5 / raya 4.0
TAA gab porro/gvar/saliba 4.5 4.0
Saka Mbeumo Rogers + 1/2
Haaland + 1/2

If it doesn’t try again

[hollow narwhal]

L team

[hasty kite]

Alt nouri v Myko?

[fast hedge]

Neither

But probably ait nouri idk

[rough ravine]

actually, maddison

[hollow narwhal]

Myko is injured

He come off injured gw4 and wasn’t in squad last game

[restive basin]

Think I can only be on the up with this wildcard, finally have Haaland, Arsenal defence, mbeumo, and double Everton attack

[fleet minnow]

Maddison 😭 brings back nightmares

[ripe cradle]

Moody no not the double Everton attack

[fleet minnow]

He was ill and was actually back in training before gw5

Need some more info on him

[restive basin]

McNeil and DCL match made in heaven

[fleet minnow]

Where is the united players

[hollow narwhal]

For 4.3 he could be very good then

[ripe cradle]

What do we think of Mazrazoui on WC?

[restive basin]

Bruno in the naughty corner for a while

i dont rly like utd players till 11 or so

[cold hazel]

Are people dropping Salah on their WC?

[restive basin]

most are here

[short notch]

i dont think this is bad at all tbh, might just go with this

[cold hazel]

Trying to fit one in with him but it seems like a pipe dream

[short notch]

just dont know if i really think i need diaz

[cold hazel]

Trying to downgrade to get this team but probably not worth it with only 1 bench option

[restive basin]

0 cleans in the next 5

[fleet minnow]

😂

[ripe cradle]

Have faith

[restive basin]

ill be praying

[cold hazel]

4-5-1 formation

Actually kinda tempting, 1 mil itb too if I want to upgrade stewart

[sharp cliff]

left or right

[round pivot]

I’m praying on Diaz downfall so hard

Left but havertz to Watkins

[primal forge]

I was thinking of having both but was short

Wait maybe

Nevermind semenyo is more trustable

[tough narwhal]

Any necessary improvements? I have 0.3 left

[primal forge]

Quite happy with this

[primal forge]

We both have .3 left lol

It’s a lot of trust in the Defense

But I hope it’ll work out for you

[tough narwhal]

Usually my defence is shit and this season especially I was starting a 4.0 every week and my ranks plummeted, so in theory investing in a defence not consisting of Nedeljkovic should let me recover

[primal forge]

There are many 4.5s that are very good

Aina Davis

Even colwill

[tough narwhal]

People talked me out of Forest defence GW 1 + I’m not even sure what I would do with the extra funds this time round

[primal forge]

Maybe a Luis Diaz?

[tough narwhal]

Last season I got him in when he was on hot form and he shat the bed, I’m steering clear atm

Bowen for me is an option but people are saying West Ham are shit

[primal forge]

Bowen is like Eze

Same kind of hope

Might switch to madds

[primal forge]

You can’t always be this scared of players shitting the bed

If not you’ll never get to see them score points on your team

[tough narwhal]

It’s just a Luis Diaz thing, if by GW 10 he’s still doing well I’ll look to get him in

[primal forge]

He’s much more clinical than he was last season

My dad wanted him sold in the summer

But now he’s changed his mind

The guy’s been playing fpl for quite a few years

So I think I’d follow him

Well it’s just a personal thing

[tough narwhal]

I’ll consider it

Still have a week until deadline

[sharp cliff]

for me it’s either,
salah+weak defence or diaz+strong defence+1.6 itb

[lunar cove]

Got 2.9M itb, want to do salah&watkins to haaland after gw6/7 with that
what do you think?

[tacit goblet]

Is Joao Pedro still a good pick on wc6?

[arctic portal]

Not rly?

[sharp cliff]

no chance with the other likes of dcl and wood

[tacit goblet]

Already have Wood and i can’t afford to go up to anyone else

0.1

I’m on WC so i can get welbeck if he’s better

[mortal vortex]

I think Rico Lewis is always a risk but with Rodri and Ake out its more likely he's making starts. Prob plays quite a lot.

If you have a decent bench maybe its alright

yeah hes a defender

[half juniper]

downgrade nacho and a couple of the 4.5 defenders to get trent tbh

[mortal vortex]

just give me Virginia, Matthews or Bentley for 3.9 this week 🙏 I need this

[arctic portal]

Raya / 4.5 4.5 / 4.5 4.0
TAA Gab Porro/Saliba/Gvar Lewis/4.5 4.0
Saka Mbeumo Rogers + 1/2 of Diaz/Semenyo/ESR/Mcneil
Haaland + 1/2 of Jackson/Solanke/DCL/Wood

Try again if your team doesn’t match this^

[mortal vortex]

no im good thank you

but yeah good team

[rancid path]

Ayy hates Bruno obv

[mortal vortex]

who doesn't tbh

[fading adder]

this to this

[tall patrol]

Jackson doesnt look to bad rn 👀😅

[fading adder]

him, mateta or havertz I'm considering

[tall patrol]

I dont think I can get to him tbf on current draft my forwards out of Vardy, DCL, Wood - need 2

[zenith vortex]

What change?

WC active ofc

[cold hazel]

Risky banking on the defense but it allows me to have Salah and Haaland, what do you think

[fading adder]

How this wildcard?

how ur phone

[tough narwhal]

Tf happened to your screen

Thank you for using that website since we can see the names of who you have

[tough narwhal]

Jokes aside it looks good

[round pivot]

Anyone going up in price tonight?

[slim copper]

wc6 draft, thoughts?

[tall patrol]

[mortal vortex]

looks like Gvardiol and Matthews/Virginia probably both dropping tomorrow or the day after

at least before the deadline

which is very helpful

[cold hazel]

Do you think it's dumb to do 4 at the back

[rancid path]

prob Saturday tbh, too many WCs, they'll all reset to -98 tomorrow morning

[mortal vortex]

damn, i need both to happen

[harsh sparrow]

Lewis dropping before the gw?

[runic wolf]

Is myko a pick

Hes 4.3 nkw

Now

[bright cloud]

Always was

Mostly a bench option ofc

[bright cloud]

Potentially

[harsh sparrow]

Hopefully, I’ll probably be willing to take a risk on him

[arctic portal]

forgor to include

[hollow narwhal]

New draft

[fading adder]

Bad

[short notch]

if you showed me this a week ago i would like it

but right now,

i cant seem to have the thought of having two arsenal attackers when two arsenal defenders + Saka will be better, especially now that Havertz is playing more in this midfield with Odegaard out

you could really use the money elsewhere like a Nico Jackson with his great upcoming fixtures for the next two or just ride on the Solanke train for a couple of gameweeks

I'm personally doing Nico Jackson, Haaland, DCL front three and planning on going from Jackson to Solanke GW 8

[zealous geode]

You're going dcl which means u don't have one of semenyo or Rogers?

[short notch]

have both actually

idk about like for sure going DCL tho, could always drop down to another striker as my 8th and upgrade my midfield a bit more

or going Luis Diaz to someone else

[zealous geode]

Benching Rogers against Ipswich

[fading adder]

crying man 😭😭🤣

[subtle crow]

Looking at wc6 drafts and these teams are mid as fuck

[clever pike]

is porro a must

i feel like going to konate + 0.4 might be just as good for more cs potential altho slightly harder fix

even the extra .5 for robbo too

[desert rain]

What are your guys thoughts on this wc?

I don’t really know if I should get saka in or not

[arctic portal]

against the template you’re fighting Salah Raul Vardy konsa v Saka Dom/jackson dcl/wood porro

[vale vault]

do i need a wc here?

[zealous geode]

How's mine

Give yr honest opinion

[vale vault]

its fine tbh but am not fan of double pool defence

[zealous geode]

Might not even be going for trent tbh if I decide to go w Palmer instead of diaz

[split carbon]

thoughts on this?

[sharp cliff]

pfft that’s good tbh

[split carbon]

Or something like this

[sharp cliff]

best 5m defenders or below on wc6?(other than konate and robinson)

[hollow narwhal]

I agree that 2x ARS attack is suboptimal long run, but I will sell Havertz after 2 games since I’ll have 5FTs. Even if Havertz isn’t on fire atm I would still rather chase the upside in those two games - the ceiling of a defender in those games is realistically 6pts whereas havertz could easily get 15+

[ancient jacinth]

Johnson isn’t a starter so just get greaves

[clever pike]

this is fair if u have 5 fts yea

[zealous geode]

I wouldnt even keep robinson

[zealous geode]

You're still bullish on ars attack?

[hardy kiln]

so happyy with this

[zealous geode]

That's great tbh

Except I'd be concerned about savio with foden lurking

[hardy kiln]

foden/bilva/gundo/kdb all thru the middle

rodri tore his acl

[zealous geode]

Except savio only has had 2 assists 0 goals

[hardy kiln]

if i fade savio ive got no idea who to put there

@zealous geode

1. eze + 4.0 defender
2. savio + 4.5 defender

[hardy kiln]

be ahead of the curve!!

[mortal vortex]

Give Gvardiol 5.9 and Matthews/Virginia 3.9

[hardy kiln]

hopefully, doubt we get a 3.9 tho

[formal nebula]

Why Konate

[hardy kiln]

i dont get the konate pick either. downgrade to a rotatable 4.5 with aina and use the 0.6 to upgrade stewart

@zealous geode

[fossil arch]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sly hamlet]

I’m still on either esr Jackson or wood Diaz.

[zealous geode]

Why would u need 8 attackers

[sly hamlet]

I’d prefer 8 playing players. Can always be useful. Could get you benching dilemmas, sure. But rather that than being left with no alternatives in case of injuries. Especially as you have a cheap Rogers .

[sharp cliff]

hm tbh i think he’s a lock on my wc6 with his attacking threat

[sharp cliff]

yeppp,everyone keeps saying the same thing about havertz deep whatever but leicester and southampton at home is easy goals

[hardy kiln]

bro u DEFINITELY need 8 attackers

this szn

[mortal vortex]

352 with Stewart I can create the best team tbh. But I hate having useless bench

[short notch]

yeah, no returns against leicester away and everton at home hes gonna be riding first bench for a while😭

[umbral basalt]

Thoughts on this wildcard?

[zealous geode]

Decent

I'd rather have a 4.5 mil def than a 5mil mid on the bench tho

[round pivot]

I only now noticed Mavididi 2 goals in 2 starts 👀 anyone getting him?

Bench for 2 weeks start against Southampton Notts Ipswich

I really cooked here only missing Liverpool attacker

Mavididi rotates with semenyo

konsa could be someone else maybe if I find another 4.5 who rotates well with mykolenko

[zealous geode]

The only 2 liverpool attackers u should consider is Salah or diaz

[round pivot]

Just can’t fit them in bc I want to keep Saka and the forwards

[zealous geode]

Then don't

[round pivot]

Yeah I think this team cooks for the next 5 gws

[split carbon]

thoughts on this anyone?

[round pivot]

By gw11 I’ll definitely need to make changes

[gloomy bloom]

first draft

[zealous geode]

Villa def is so bad that konsa's xP is 2.0 against ips

[sly hamlet]

I don’t get the Konsa pick. They’re not keeping cs’s and he ain’t gonna score each week.

[gloomy bloom]

well idk who else for 4.5 def

[round pivot]

None of the 4.5 defs are amazing they’re that price for a reason lol

I think konsa is ok they haven’t been keeping clean sheets but they’re one of the best teams in the league and so is their keeper

Maybe they could become more solid in the back over time. Other options are Chelsea Brighton Notts defenders

[gloomy bloom]

wait Colwill 4.5

is he still nailed, seems like playing every game so far

[round pivot]

Yeah chelsea got back to back clean sheets but idk if we gonna keep it up lol

Fofana is an ok shout too he’s not in the conference league squad

[gloomy bloom]

kinda worried not having Palmer, he prob keep hurting my rank

but getting him gonna cause budgeting headache

[round pivot]

For clean sheets Ipswich and Southampton are good targets that’s why konsa is more enticing

[gloomy bloom]

surely Jackson will cover the Chelsea pts

[round pivot]

I really hope Jackson stays serious man I always backed him even when he was getting memed to hell and back

Had a good start now 6 g/a in 5

Palmer will destroy our rank if we keep getting penalties like last season

Otherwise not so much

[worn pier]

Are people going with or without salah

[round pivot]

Mostly without

To fit in triple arsenal and the likes of Watkins Palmer

[hardy kiln]

is palmer a must have? his xGI is down from last year

[ripe cradle]

Without Diaz can cover for him

[round pivot]

Only haaland is must have lol

Anyone else you can leave out and still cook

[hardy kiln]

@round pivot which draft would u rather? (both chels players are short term punts)

[fast hedge]

Definitely 1

[round pivot]

Both are solid I don’t like wood tho

[hardy kiln]

can do esr + lewis instead of savio + aina

[fast hedge]

i like savio + aina tbh

[hardy kiln]

yea id have to play him week in week out

[hardy kiln]

its a fun punt ahe

aye

i think savio can get goals. just cos he hast in his first couple games doesnt mean he cant

[fast hedge]

its a bit template but im probably leaning towards diaz

[hardy kiln]

ah yup

[fast hedge]

i have a feeling spurs will click tho

idk why

[hardy kiln]

ive got a diaz draft but i dont like him long term. i need solanke as a result

[fast hedge]

i just remember that point last year where my phone just got pinged with a bunch of notifications of son goal - maddison assist

i can see that happening again

solanke goal - son / maddison assist

[hardy kiln]

this is my diaz draft if ur looking for something similar

[glad marlin]

thoughts?

[round pivot]

Solanke does have potential he scored like 3rd or 4th most goals last season

[fast hedge]

man going no porro looks so much better

i might move off

[hardy kiln]

yea bro ceebs porro

[fast hedge]

yeah fuck

[hardy kiln]

only problem with diaz is his future fixtures and rotation with gakpo

im pretty worried about that

[fast hedge]

actually wait no

im stupid

i can keep porro

my team value high enough nvm

[round pivot]

Yeah Diaz already gets subbed off before 90 gonna be benchings soon I hope

[fast hedge]

i just have jackson over solanke rn

[hardy kiln]

yea im gonna fade him

[fast hedge]

i have 8 attackers tho rn so kinda calm

[hardy kiln]

ive got jackson + solanke over him

u should have 8 attacksrs

[fast hedge]

yeah

[hardy kiln]

thoughts on eze?

[fast hedge]

man fuck im so tempted on eze man

[hardy kiln]

same

[fast hedge]

especially with everyone removing this guy

[cold hazel]

I feel like everyone will regret dropping Salah

[fast hedge]

ill deffo wait till he drops to potentially go back in

but man

[cold hazel]

I'm keeping him in

[hardy kiln]

nah eye test he’s been so bad

[fast hedge]

the numbers are good, i like the guy, baller too

but no pens

and like

[hardy kiln]

especially last two games

[fast hedge]

57% underperformance over 5 weeks

is crazy

[hardy kiln]

surely that goss up

goes

[fast hedge]

salah vs forrest might be like

the worst ive ever seen

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/604939931361738803/1284554102067433613/Screenshot_20240915_023917_FotMob.jpg?ex=66f393fb&is=66f2427b&hm=e59380ce3bec8f1c5a7e8477e31a58e957ad180d3199cb39c0cffa3bf68cbade&

[hardy kiln]

and then zabarnyi clean swiping the ball off him in 1on1 just
was the nail in the coffin for me

[fast hedge]

shot map sums up the entire game

[hardy kiln]

insanely bad

moreno + neco

locking him up

[fast hedge]

nott forrest should not shut up salah at anfield man

that is outrageous

fair play to em tho

nice stuff from cho as well

8 attackers would be nice

But this team kinda mint you know

[distant ridge]

Can I send my tram even if I’m non wc

[fast hedge]

Go for it boss

[fast hedge]

solid team

[cold hazel]

Thoughts on this? 👀

Bench is complete trash though

[distant ridge]

Worth taking a hit to do robbo to Trent?

[fast hedge]

probably not tbh

[fast hedge]

i know you cant afford anyone else but 0 bench + vardy is not ideal

[cold hazel]

Yeah it's deffo a crazy risk

I could get j pedro or jiminez and then I'd have .3 to upgrade keane

[cold hazel]

Something like this

[fast hedge]

honestly you can leave the bench as 2 4.0 defenders

i just hate all the 4.5 strikers

[cold hazel]

Same

[fast hedge]

dibiling is okay as a 4.5 bench option on the midfield

[rare harness]

What formation do you plan on playing every week?

[fast hedge]

3-4-2 by the looks of things

kinda forced to

[cold hazel]

3-5-2 of course ahah

No other option

[rare harness]

That’s what I was thinking. Which means he’s only playing with 10 players

[cold hazel]

It's a 352 formation

[rare harness]

Yeah but you have hardly any flexibility. Triple arsenal defence, you absolutely sure you don’t want any attackers?

[cold hazel]

High risk but it could cook

[fast hedge]

352 nvm im dumb

but even then

[sharp cliff]

no arsenal attack?

[fast hedge]

saliba to a 4.5 and salah to saka gives you so much freedom

[cold hazel]

Id love saka but I couldn't figure out a draft without Salah

And I'm keeping Salah for sure

[fast hedge]

im honestly not even that confident we get a clean against leicester

for some reason we get our cleans away

a lot more defensive lineup away than home

[cold hazel]

Vardy brace

[rare harness]

You could go Saliba Salah Raul> Saka/Palmer Gvardial Solanke

[fast hedge]

tempted to go havertz saka raya tbh

[cold hazel]

Salah is a set and forget for me

[fast hedge]

honestly just leave diaz out then

[cold hazel]

I just feel like there's other decent options out there but not for defense

[fast hedge]

i dont hate salah as an option but salah + diaz limits your team too much

[cold hazel]

Yeah this is my current draft, 1m itb

[fast hedge]

but at the same time if diaz keeps minutes hes literally the best fpl asset in the game bar haaland

[cold hazel]

It does ruin my team but im trying to brute force it😅

Such a headache

[cold hazel]

@fast hedge I bottled it

[mortal vortex]

ffs neither Virginia nor Matthews are gonna drop before the deadline are they

[cold hazel]

Not worth the stress of fitting Salah in for the whole week, already spent way too long thinking about it

[cold hazel]

Hoping they do, I have 0itb currently

[mortal vortex]

I need the .1

But they're not close anymore

Gvardiol probably isn't gonna drop either

[cold hazel]

Still -95

Wildcard has probably inflated that though

[mortal vortex]

It was over -100 yesterday

Yeah

[cold hazel]

Yeah I remember

Who do you need .1 for?

[ancient jacinth]

Don’t understand the Gvardiol pick

[mortal vortex]

You have seen that Walker wasn't there right?

It changes everything

[ancient jacinth]

Gabriel/Saliba/Robbo will all outscore him

[mortal vortex]

I want 2 premiums and a defence rotation but the rotation is a bit weak now

[ancient jacinth]

And they just lost Rodri

[mortal vortex]

If anything that means Lewis won't suddenly bench him anymore

Cause he'll be needed in the midfield

Could risk it with Lewis tbh

Ake also injured btw. He'd also be rotating otherwise

[tough narwhal]

Bowen + Cunha or Watkins and Mario Lemina?

[fleet minnow]

Bowen and Cunha

[tough narwhal]

Thought so

Ty

[fast hedge]

Neither tho

[glad marlin]

fr, neither

[bitter elbow]

Raya injured?

Hmm raya and robbo or Flekken and Saliba?

[mortal vortex]

Raya injured would ruin everything

Esp since he rose 0.1 since I got him on wc

Otherwise could've just used a ft when he's back

[ancient jacinth]

The scout

[hasty kite]

Hope raya’s not injured 😔

[ripe cradle]

6/15

[ancient jacinth]

Same

[mortal vortex]

7/15

[tall patrol]

When we finding out who’s injured from Arsenal?

[ancient jacinth]

Friday’s presser

[mortal vortex]

Press conference. And then itll be "late call" again

[hollow narwhal]

6/11

[ancient jacinth]

Even if it’s just 1 game I can live without a goalkeeper, doesn’t sound too serious so hopefully will be fine

[mortal vortex]

I want points

If hes for sure injured raya is out of my team

Ill find a way to get him back later

[copper willow]

Thoughts? .1 itb, Don’t rlly know who to captain yet

[languid flare]

1 or 2?

[fleet minnow]

Pretty good would defo replace vardy with a different attacker

[fleet minnow]

2

[sly hamlet]

I’m currently on 2.

[chilly snow]

thoughts? first draft

[sly hamlet]

Well don’t make a wc with the intent of playing 442.

[quick mason]

4-4-2 starting konsa and rogers every week is so haram (i know you have esr on bench but fixtures aren’t good enough to not be playing against nfo away)

[sharp cliff]

6/15

[hollow narwhal]

Thoughts on Sanchez for GK

[fallow pendant]

Are people sleeping on Kyle Walker?

[fading adder]

no he's been awful imo he should get dropped has been City's worst defender in the 2 games he has played

[mortal vortex]

Gvardiol

[oak grail]

Admit it, we are all some variation of this. Rotating Smith Rowe And someone else out for gw7 and getting Mbeumo in btw.

[sly hamlet]

lol. Having Harwood Bellis and then saying that.

[rancid path]

"some variation" of 3x 4.0 rotation

[copper willow]

Haaland captain bro

[oak grail]

Bench stays benched

[oak grail]

Alternative is dropping Diaz and Bellis for Mbeumo and Lewis. But even then some recommend against over investing in defense.

[tough narwhal]

Don’t have a starting 4.0, I’m absolutely cooked atm since I got in a 4.0 for Jota and they we’re constantly a weak link

[tough narwhal]

Then sell Trent?

[oak grail]

Isn't he hot shit?

[tough narwhal]

Not worth having to start a 4.0 each week, you can surely get Porro and another good defender over Trent and a 4.0

[oak grail]

I just got rid of porro. Between Gabriel, Trent and reya I'll probably be raking in more points more consistently than my previous back line of Saliba Andersen porro

So the 4.0 is just as good as a porro imo

[sly hamlet]

Downgrade Watkins.

[oak grail]

Definitely on the table for gw7 but he's staying put for the Ipswich fixture.

[bright cloud]

Lewis 90 mins, Foden 90mins, Gvardiol 15mins

[mortal vortex]

for the cup game?

[bright cloud]

Yes

[mortal vortex]

thats nice

[cold hazel]

Gvardiol drop pls 🙏

Although I currently have Robertson over gvardiol, can't decide between the two

[mortal vortex]

If both gvardiol and a 4m keeper drop this week im very pleased lol

My WC team still doesnt look completely like the team i want cause I'm just playing the price rises atm

Not sure if I want Semenyo but ill decide later after he rises

[harsh sparrow]

Does wildcards effect price changes?

[cold hazel]

Gvardiol on track to drop today hopefully

[cold hazel]

It doesn't so this week isn't as accurate

[mortal vortex]

I think his momentum is slowing down tbh

He was lower yesterday and didnt drop

[hardy kiln]

fucking STACKED team.

0.4 itb

[hardy kiln]

@lilac elk

[lilac elk]

@hardy kiln

[hardy kiln]

ayyy

[hardy kiln]

@arctic portal this is my porro draft. do u rate it more than the one above?

would like to hear ur thoughts

[arctic portal]

Yes

That’s my team but raya Semenyo Larsen v flek dibling havertz

[formal nebula]

Why does no one here like Bruno on WC only diaz

[arctic portal]

People have funds tied up in Diaz

And also they play wolves

[hardy kiln]

thats a sick differential

should work out good

[arctic portal]

bottom of the table wolves

[hardy kiln]

essentially our debate is

a.) porro + larsen + 4.0 def
b.) 2*4.5def + wood

im assuming u think a is better?

[arctic portal]

Yes

[formal nebula]

Yeah but in 2 weeks everyone will probably want Bruno

[arctic portal]

Yea so that’s a problem for 2 weeks later

[formal nebula]

Why not get him now

[arctic portal]

Cos Diaz plays wolves

[hardy kiln]

bruno sucks ass

[arctic portal]

Which other player are you dropping from the template midfield

[hardy kiln]

hes so bad

[arctic portal]

in other fpl bubbles they don’t have the value tied up in Diaz

Diaz for 7.9 v Bruno for 8.3 is much closer

[formal nebula]

How

[hardy kiln]

so wasteful

[formal nebula]

He gets so many chances

[hardy kiln]

final decision lol

a.) raul/ndiyae + myky
b.) strand larsen + 4.0 def

what u think?

[hardy kiln]

u seen eze

[formal nebula]

Yeah and he is a solid option

[hardy kiln]

they are both solid

its so tough

[arctic portal]

Raul is interesting

[formal nebula]

??

[hardy kiln]

?

[arctic portal]

A I think

[formal nebula]

Why not like Wood

[arctic portal]

💰

[hardy kiln]

cos ive got big dommy

[formal nebula]

Just downgrade Porro and get a better FWD

Like Wood dcl evanilson

[hardy kiln]

@formal nebula im tossing up between these two teams

i liked @arctic portal reasoning for porro

[arctic portal]

It’s also the EO factor ngl

Porro gonna have at least 30-50 EO

you kinda want to be safe and not bet against him

[hardy kiln]

could also do flekken +timber

and then upgrade 8th attacker

[arctic portal]

up to you but iirc raya alr went up right

So that’s losing tv

[hardy kiln]

yea true true

[fast hedge]

I have the same draft on the right except I've got Jackson for solanke, dcl for Larsen

I'd go the one on the right

[hardy kiln]

final decision lol
a.) raul/ndiyae + myky
b.) strand larsen + 4.0 def

im leaning A

[fast hedge]

Wait how much is larsen

[hardy kiln]

5.5

[fast hedge]

How much do you have itb

[hardy kiln]

im 0.1 off

a 5.5 attacker

[fast hedge]

But you have Larsen...

[hardy kiln]

with a 4.0 defender

[fast hedge]

Did you buy him at 5.4

Yeah that's fine

If you're backline is Trent gab porro

[hardy kiln]

this is the decision

[fast hedge]

Why would you waste .5 on a defender you won't play

[hardy kiln]

downgrade larsen to raul/ndiyae
to open the 0.1 to get myky

[fast hedge]

I don't rate ndiyae

And I don't rate larsen

But b

[hardy kiln]

yea as an 8th attacker

[fast hedge]

Oh it's one of

Yeah Maybe

Raul + myko

I don't hate it

[hardy kiln]

if i go porro it means i have to play 2 of rogers, semenyo, raul/strandy

every week

all goodb

?

[fast hedge]

I don't wanna play Rogers every week

But for a few weeks it's fine

Semenyo I'd be fine with every week

Raul probably not

Semenyo is a 2 week punt

You kinda need an 8 9 10 option

[hardy kiln]

this is why i like the draft on
the left more hahaha

[fast hedge]

Or you book in a transfer in 8

Benching solanke is a no go

[hardy kiln]

for this exact reasom

[fast hedge]

That's why I hate the left

[hardy kiln]

id be benching wood

playing 2 out of wood, rogers, semenyo every weke

[fast hedge]

Yeah that's fine

[hardy kiln]

and for the left draft ive got 0.4itb to go diaz to bruno

in gw9/10

frothing

[glad marlin]

thoughts?

assuming rayas fit ofc

[gloomy bloom]

is Solanke really good? I dont see much appeal on him tbh

like he only scored 1 goal and Spurs not particularly great

[formal nebula]

Spurs create chances for fun lol

With some of the best fix

[gloomy bloom]

United & Brighton away doesnt seems like good fix

maybe West Ham home, but Palace & Villa after that gonna be tough

[thin pulsar]

Thoughts on this ?

Can switch konsa out next week but against Ipswich is good

[gloomy bloom]

switch Barco to any 4.0

there're few that actually starting

[thin pulsar]

Oh yeah forgot

[gloomy bloom]

decent ig

I'd downgrade Robbo to get Semenyo instead of Winks, but that might cause benching headache too

[thin pulsar]

That’s what it looks like

[formal nebula]

Why not

[split carbon]

How does this look?

Was thinking of maybe saka instead of palmer

[formal nebula]

Pretty template apart from that

[hybrid forum]

if u dont have triple arsenal ur trolling

[split carbon]

Was thinking about wood instead of joao pedro and a cheap def instead of trent tho

[formal nebula]

I like that

I like wood

keep Trent

[split carbon]

Id have to get rid of pedro porro

[zealous geode]

Wow your TV is something else if u can afford this

[fast hedge]

its like uh

101.5?

something like that

made money on a few players early

and only lost money on eze

[sly hamlet]

Think mine is .3 off that

[tough narwhal]

0.5 ITB

[weak ingot]

0 Itb, 5 ft after

Plan havertz to solanke when fix dry

[copper willow]

Haaland + Vardy + dcl
or
haalnd + solanke + Stewart

[weak ingot]

2

I aint touching eve

[mortal vortex]

This team is sick icl

I wanted something like this but i chose to keep Salah over Diaz so it looks a bit different

Probably a mistake

[formal nebula]

Good not sure about Havertz tho

And u will probably lose rank with a CS

[ancient jacinth]

Probs Gabriel over Saliba tho

[oak grail]

We're all a variation of the same thing from what I've seen

[formal nebula]

How much team value

[ancient jacinth]

I think like 100.7

[fast hedge]

You posted this yesterday but I'm sorry bro it's just you who's rotating 3 4.0s

🙏

[mortal vortex]

If they all started 100% i could see it maybe

[formal nebula]

The thing I don’t like is benching Rogers tho against Ipswich

[mortal vortex]

But Harwood Bellis doesnt

[fast hedge]

I would play wood over Rogers

[formal nebula]

I know

[fast hedge]

Rogers is an 8th attacker if everyone else has a good fixture you don't play him

[formal nebula]

Eh but u still wouldn’t be happy benching him

[mortal vortex]

He's perfectly fine as 1 of the 7 too

But yeah in that particular team its a bit awkward

[ancient jacinth]

Yeah it’s annoying, but hopefully I can take the hit that week as it balances out a bit more after. Just glad it’s away rather than at Villa Park

[mortal vortex]

I might just pick Dibling and have Rogers as the 7th. But it depends if ill get Semenyo or not

Might even sell Rogers and have Semenyo and Dibling and play Dibling at Semenyo's shit fixtures. But getting rid of Rogers seems kind of insane

[formal nebula]

Dibling can save u a mill and a bench head ache every week

[oak grail]

Who are some nailed on 4.0s?

[formal nebula]

Greaves

[oak grail]

Got'em

[ancient jacinth]

Semenyo to Dibling gw8

Faes (4.1), Bednarek, Greaves, THB (until Stephens comes back), Keane (until Branthwaite comes back), O’Shea maybe, Okoli maybe, Stephens (suspended currently), Tuanzebe, Van den Berg maybe

[fast hedge]

Bednareck greaves okali (most likely) there's probably one or 2 more from Ipswich as well

[rough ravine]

tuanzebe the only one afaik

[mortal vortex]

I guess if you can compensate the lack of points from the triple 4.0 rotation with the rest of the team its possible but its a compromise

[mortal vortex]

Mosquera possibly when back from injury

Also think Okoli is more nailed than van den berg

[sly hamlet]

I have the same team for now, except myko. Going for a 4.5 I think that rotates with Aina. Need some convincing from Everton first.

[hasty kite]

Best 4.5?

Or 4.5s

[formal nebula]

Thoughts on Flekken + Saliba instead of Raya + someone

I feel like more secure

[radiant raft]

personally wouldn’t go for flekken without a paired 4.5 so thats + 0.5 for me

and saliba is another 0.5 so i’d go timber and go timber > porro in 8/9

and the way i think is raya is set and forget and could probs stay until wc2

you don’t miss any random cleans in tough games by benching him like you might do with saliba

[formal nebula]

timber??

he’s definitely risky

[radiant raft]

dts for 2 weeks

esp if calafiori is out

[formal nebula]

Raya 5.5 Id rather Flekken its more flexible

[radiant raft]

also think with raya/saliba

i prefer raya because there are much more good def options than gks

in gw12+ you’ll want double ars def, but you’ll also want trent/porro/mun def/bha def

[fast hedge]

4.5 keepers are better than 4.5 defenders tbh

[radiant raft]

they are but you won’t have 4.5 defenders soon enough

[fast hedge]

But yeah raya looks mint

[formal nebula]

Yeah so u can swap Saliba around

[radiant raft]

to raya?

[formal nebula]

To different defs

And just keep Flekken

And what if u want Havertz later

[radiant raft]

i guess

i just prefer double def really

so raya makes more sense

[formal nebula]

Flekken + Saliba also saves 0.5

and who’s your 3rd def with TAA + Gabriel if u get raya

[sly hamlet]

for me it's TAA - Gabriel and 2 4.5s, but also have the Flekken - Timber scenario in mind.

[radiant raft]

i have raya gabriel robertson gvardiol

[formal nebula]

Why not Flekken Saliba

[formal nebula]

No taa hm

[sly hamlet]

the price difference. Think I could just afford it.

[harsh sparrow]

What would y’all do with the remaining 0.4 save, dcl to wood or greaves to MYKOLENKO?

[formal nebula]

Id rather Saliba timber is a bit risky

[radiant raft]

not really sure about him for 7m with the fix

gonna have robbo for 6,7 then robbo > porro gw8

[formal nebula]

It’s TAA tho

[formal nebula]

Dcl to wood

Similar to mine but I have Bruno might swap

[slim copper]

TAA is a potential season keep icl

[hasty kite]

Is it bad to go without Diaz? Just haven’t got the most trust in him long term

[hollow narwhal]

Diaz is one of the biggest traps I’ve ever seen

I cannot believe how many people have him on WC

I haven’t even considered him

[fast hedge]

yeah not as necessary as people think imo

i have him but hes by no means necessary

hes still a minutes risk

just a minutes risk whos performing

but if you have an 8th decent attacker i dont hate the punt

[formal nebula]

Diaz will come on tho

[fast hedge]

yeah but like

if he becomes a proper risk

you can just not play him dont have to immediately waste a transfer

[formal nebula]

Uh what

[brisk lintel]

Dont have a plan for Jackson, he might be nice for 2 more gw and was going to be ”solanke”

[fast hedge]

nice team

[brisk lintel]

After 2 gw i wanna change semenyo and Jackson

I got 4 ft atm

[fast hedge]

why and to who

i understand jackson

[brisk lintel]

Semenyo has 3 bad gw

Can get him back after

[fast hedge]

oh semenyo

i cant read my bad

thought you said solanke

[brisk lintel]

Or i can bench too

Ive tried to get other good players in cant cant Solve stuff

Jackson into solanke looked nice

[fast hedge]

what dont you like

having both jackson + solanke

[brisk lintel]

How long can i keep Jackson

Prob fine longer than 2 gw but not sure

Just want a solid team for a while , my first team was chaotic 😂

[fast hedge]

it probably is fine but at the same time do you want to play him for liv new mun ars

[brisk lintel]

Pickford, Bruno, Gordon , Isak

[fast hedge]

and even tho you have free transfers

i wouldnt want to be booking in a bunch of transfers

[brisk lintel]

I want 4-5 ft for gw12

But thats gonna be no problem

[brisk lintel]

Prob not

[fast hedge]

do you fancy diaz at all

[brisk lintel]

No

[fast hedge]

fairs

[brisk lintel]

😂

[fast hedge]

yeah im just thinking if you downgrade jackson where would you even spend the money

[torn garden]

Pretty much ideal no Salah team

[fast hedge]

or well in this case downgrade solanke

cause then your plan is jackson to solanke in 2 gw

[tough narwhal]

Any thoughts on this?

[fast hedge]

fuck why am i thinking esr to eze is a good idea

[fast hedge]

you on wc?

fodens going to drop again transfer him out now and bring him back in if you really want him before the end of the week

[brisk lintel]

Thats the problem i dont find it

[fast hedge]

honestly

money in the bank is nice

[brisk lintel]

Same with porro to a 4.5, i dont rly find the spot for it

Yeah i have been thinking that too

Like 1 mil if prob drive

Fine

[fast hedge]

honestly even more than that is fine

flexibility of moves is super helpful

saves free transfers

like if you had 0 in the bank

who would you change semenyo to

[tough narwhal]

Oh kk Ty

[fast hedge]

fuck theres actually no one

💀

[tough narwhal]

Pretty much everyone cheaper than 7M is ass

[fast hedge]

not true

but everyone cheaper than 7m who isnt already in his team

is potentially ass

[tough narwhal]

What I meant

[rancid path]

Eze will be nice at 6.8 from GW8

[fast hedge]

yeah

i actually still like eze

its the one thing im annoyed i dont have in my team

[brisk lintel]

Same

[fast hedge]

and i know hes gonna haul cause i dont have him

[rancid path]

If Eze doesn't get robbed of his GW1 goal, bro would be 7.1 right now

[fast hedge]

yup

2 10 pointers

yeah honestly ezes out for now

[brisk lintel]

Btw Jackson is prob fine against those matchen u Said

United new

[fast hedge]

its Liv(a) Ars (h)

before and after those

that are annoying

especially considering you also have semenyo

you have to play one of them

[brisk lintel]

Look at defense

[rancid path]

Jackson vs Solanke is 75mins + YC merchant vs 90mins + better medium term fixtures. Solanke GW6-11 to Jackson GW12 is the play

[fast hedge]

i hate that i dont hate it

[brisk lintel]

Salah and saka is tempting

[fast hedge]

oh no i do hate it nvm

[brisk lintel]

But overall looks so bad…

[fast hedge]

adama 7th attacker

stewart 8th

[tough narwhal]

What wrong with Adama Traore?

[fast hedge]

nothing

[brisk lintel]

Fulham 😂

[fast hedge]

but adama forced to play

every single week

• it is adama

im glad hes found a run of form but l ike

its adama

[brisk lintel]

I kind of like stewart as fodder

[fast hedge]

why

hes barely played no?

[brisk lintel]

Cause atm i dont like any forwards

Yeah but perma bench

[tough narwhal]

Everyone else doesn’t play

[fast hedge]

dibling looks honestly interesting

like if i had to get an autosub

i wouldnt mind watching dibling

[brisk lintel]

Opens up funds

I g1g

[fast hedge]

but i just hate having a dead position

[brisk lintel]

2hand

Bro… i gotta go fucking autocorrect

Thx

[fast hedge]

im ngl i feel like ive made you more confused

gl

[brisk lintel]

Na its fine i cant solve it so prob go with the team i sent

[hasty kite]

Current draft

I think I’m pretty set on going palmer

[weak ingot]

thanks, My mentality, is am perm cap haaland no point salah and just get whichever over lpool attacker in form since they all cheap options

[zealous geode]

Not konsa and 🔒

[weak ingot]

For these next 3gws atleast, vs some shit defenses then reconsider

[hasty kite]

Who would you recommend?

[weak ingot]

Wym

[hasty kite]

Over him

[zealous geode]

Probably Brentford def

[formal nebula]

If arsenal keep a cs

Cause most have double

[formal nebula]

He’s playing CM

[weak ingot]

Ahh ok, don’t think matters too much thinking what other people have, just going for what i feel best team

[weak ingot]

Hmmm, reconsidering then

[formal nebula]

Cause Odegaard is out

[formal nebula]

fairs

[mortal vortex]

yeah I think you did good I think that's the right decision, I pulled the trigger on getting Diaz too late so I think Im going to try it with Salah this year and see what happens

[runic wolf]

He might play attack

Trossard out

Nd he played attack wiy trossard

Against city

[vivid tide]

This is where I’m at currently. Still not sure on it though

[mortal vortex]

looks like gvardiol aint dropping

gonna have to find a different way to do things lol

might have to go 352

[runic wolf]

Icl im playing 343

Havertz solanke haaldn up top

Haverzy better play attack

[mortal vortex]

yeah I would prefer 343 but its just easier to make a good team with 352 esp in my situation where I kept Salah instead of switching to Diaz

[runic wolf]

Ah

You kept salah

Defo go 352

[mortal vortex]

343 is still possible but its hard lol

[runic wolf]

I really think that salah is noy eveb that essential

Diaz could deliver same points

And even if salah scores

Diaz could be assisyibg him

U wong miss out much

[mortal vortex]

yeah I decided it too late but I will stick with salah now

[runic wolf]

Never to late

[fast hedge]

Diaz rising and salah falling tn I believe

So if you're gonna make the switch I'd do it now

[runic wolf]

Diaz rising to 8?

[mortal vortex]

nah I aint switching

[runic wolf]

Icl

I would switch

[mortal vortex]

also dont think salah is dropping

[runic wolf]

I think he is

Bc ppl like me

Got rid of him

[mortal vortex]

hes not even close to dropping

[runic wolf]

And i aint even on a wc

Price predictions aren’t always right

[mortal vortex]

diaz is close to rising again though

[runic wolf]

The thing is

Diaz is probably defo rising

Everyone got him in

But hes gon blank now

Same with jackson

[mortal vortex]

I think im fine with Salah tbh, it could be the wrong decision but I want to try it now

[runic wolf]

Goodluck

[fast hedge]

Salah drops in 2 days*

[mortal vortex]

yeah maybe

[fast hedge]

Not tn

That's my b

It's definitely not a bad pick

[mortal vortex]

who knows, I dont mind tbh if I keep salah its for the rest of the season

[fast hedge]

And if you've got him may as well pick

I just couldn't find a way to fit salah and saka in

And don't trust havertz rn

[mortal vortex]

yeah its not easy

to fit salah and saka in

352 is probably the easiest way

but its still not amazing lol

you have to cut down on your defence and just hope that salah and saka score big

[vivid tide]

How do you lot feel about Watkins for WC6?

[mortal vortex]

if hes as good as last year its prob worth

im not gonna do it tho

[bitter elbow]

Double Liverpool defence with Raya gk, or Double Arsenal defence with Flekkon gk?

[primal forge]

2nd

[bitter elbow]

Should I get Chelsea Sanches instead?

[weak ingot]

Hmm, ars fan telling me trossard 10 which would be good enough

3-5-2 more flexible, am considering dcl tho but may just be a move for later

Pretend chiwome is stewart

Two teams am considering

Think semenyo should be better than dcl for now though

[hollow narwhal]

People said he would play CM vs City w/o Odegaard

[weak ingot]

Low TV preventing me from not needing to downgrade gabriel

[hollow narwhal]

Even if he plays in mid vs LEI then he will probs play up front against SOU and BOU

Bc trossard will be back

[sly hamlet]

Trossard also back against LEI

[hollow narwhal]

Oh yeah

So why is bro saying he’ll play in midfield 😂😂😂
