MY GW9 team,ideas for improvements?

[turbid mauve]

tips?

I thought about reijnders -> gravenberch and VDV -> VVD

[wooden prawn]

none of these are good moves imo

vdv to cucu

[turbid mauve]

Isnt he an absolute ghost

[wooden prawn]

and id keep reijnders, rice out for eze maybe

[wooden prawn]

cheslea got great fixs and he gets the occasional points, better than vvd

[turbid mauve]

Keeping reijnders is like keeping nunez

[stiff pelican]

Bit confused by your team structure. You don't have a clear bench, you have 15 good players

[turbid mauve]

Thiago,vdv and reijnders on the bench most of the time

[wooden prawn]

not really, good minutes for city he's a season long keep, could be rotated

[turbid mauve]

Might be good irl,but continously low points for FPL

[wooden prawn]

eh for his price dont really see anyone else better

maybe paq

[turbid mauve]

But yeah imma take cucurella,nothing can be worse than VDV who continously gets 1 point

[wooden prawn]

vdv is awful yeah

[turbid mauve]

Expected better

[turbid mauve]

I mean his value + the now 3,2m budget that ive got has some good transfer options right

This is the squad after cucurella

Dubravka, reijnders thiago and jp bench probs

[round ledge]

reijnders is a questionable asset but grav is just garbage

[turbid mauve]

Anything is better than reijnders

Gravenberch and Enzo been the ones ive been questioning switching to the most

Or palmer when he comes back

[round ledge]

enzo then

[turbid mauve]

Hes probably injured so im holding off that move

Hes somewhat consistent

Who should i transfer on attack though since thats my weakest side

[round ledge]

I'd be inclined to bin Joao Pedro despite the fixtures

Mateta and Woltemade look good

[stiff pelican]

Woltemade is fine

I wouldn't be rushing to buy him

[round ledge]

And long term Igor Thiago is possibly a weird one. Not as good as Woltemade and Mateta but not as cheap as Kroupi Jr

Actually could get rid of Reijnders or Caicedo for Sarr

Sarr is fairly fixture proof so I wouldn't worry about the Arsenal fixture

[stiff pelican]

Woltemades stats aren't that great, Newcastles attacking stats are poor. He's not on pens when Gordon is on the pitch, and he gets early subbed (mins are only gonna get worse as UCL starts up)

[round ledge]

His stats are solid but not "great"

[turbid mauve]

Reijnders off

Anything else?

[turbid mauve]

Most of the time i do a 4-5-1 or a 5-4-1 , so yeah , attackers really dont matter for me

Unless some dude turns into another haaland,not changing them probably

[round ledge]

Yeah seems fine

[lavish plover]

reijnders is cheap

not sure why ppl remove him alot

[lavish plover]

ah shit i got him in my team alrdy

💀

got him for richarlison so its fine

[round ledge]

nah it's fine I got him recently too

think he's good for the price

but don't expect newcastle isak 2.0

his biggest strength as a player is actually probably his linkup play which is useless for fpl

[lavish plover]

ye ikr ppl expect returns from him everytime

i just hope he delivers once in a while and good option to have

maybe sarr is an alternative

[lavish plover]

oh yeah thats true basically like a cm which wont even get an assist

[round ledge]

why not both?

[lavish plover]

i alrdy made 2 transfers

[round ledge]

solid team

[lavish plover]

woltemade saka in for bruno nd richarlison

[lavish plover]

79 pts this week 🔥

[round ledge]

better than my team fs

[lavish plover]

wbt enzo?

[turbid mauve]

2 points merchant

Lowk trash

[round ledge]

sarr has some really really good fixtures coming up for a while but enzo is fine

[lavish plover]

enzo will play a number 10 roll i heard since palmer is out

[turbid mauve]

Vdv out for timber imo

[round ledge]

as a citeh fan i don't love donnarumma as an fpl asset

don't trust our defense to keep a clean sheet at all

[lavish plover]

yh but might roll save for next GW

[round ledge]

conceded some big chances yesterday

[lavish plover]

im thinking of playing dubravka lol

[lavish plover]

how did they play?

[round ledge]

first half conceded like two big chances

one was a missed tap in

[turbid mauve]

Vdv is arse

[lavish plover]

oo

[lavish plover]

😭

[turbid mauve]

Did he even get more than 3 points,once?

[lavish plover]

but what i like about donnarumma is he is a shot stopper

ederson wasnt

[round ledge]

we don't face that many shots

[lavish plover]

since i got him all blanks

[round ledge]

but yeah we concede less from 1v1s

[lavish plover]

coz dias very good defence

[round ledge]

still can concede back post tap ins tho

[turbid mauve]

1 point merchant

[round ledge]

nothing donnarumma can do about those

[lavish plover]

cs against brentford & everton il take it

6 pts

[round ledge]

tbf donnarumma saved the cs vs brentford

[lavish plover]

should I play reijnders against villa?

[round ledge]

but again raya could get the same CSs and more without having to make any serious saves

[lavish plover]

i think i might get him in GW 10

[lavish plover]

yea but the diff is gabriel timber r very attacking

[round ledge]

i MIGHT be pursuing triple arsenal defence

[lavish plover]

citys defense is very rotable like gvardiol was benched after he got 13 pts

[round ledge]

have gabriel + cala already (yeah ik timber is better I went too early)

[lavish plover]

get double i would say coz maybe u need to get saka or gyokeres

[round ledge]

Don't think I'd ever touch city defence

even in goal

[lavish plover]

lmao

as a spurs fan i would say the same for us

[round ledge]

i tripled up on your defence earlier...

[lavish plover]

we were dreadful against villa

[round ledge]

fuck that shit

[lavish plover]

when? 💀

[round ledge]

gw4 wildcard

or was it gw5

idk after first intl break

[lavish plover]

i think we kept 4 cs in the first 6 games not sure

[round ledge]

yeah

fooled me

[lavish plover]

show ur team

[round ledge]

#notgood

lots of problems but i can field a tolerable XI

naturally playing dubravka vs wolves over vicario the fraud

[lavish plover]

i can see why ur struggling

[round ledge]

took a -4 to get here 💀

[lavish plover]

foden reijnders my friend did the same with doku

[round ledge]

doku is just crazy due to rotation risk

[lavish plover]

u had mateta last gw?

[round ledge]

kneejerked him in 💀

missed out on the hat trick

underlying data is too good though

i WILL be playing him against arsenal

[lavish plover]

ye he scored against napoli

[lavish plover]

he was on ur bench??

[round ledge]

ik it's "dumb" but I didn't want to miss out on the price rise for mateta AND I feel he can score vs arsenal

[round ledge]

no

I made two kneejerk transfers for a -4

gyok and JP out mateta and woltemade in
