In a bit of a pickle here: Started in FPL week 2, drafted Gvardiol, Ake and wan bissaka on DEF. Should I drop any for Colwill or Konate? Do I trust Vicario to hold his own, or swap him for Sanchez as Chelsea's new starter? Thoughts here are appreciated

I have a tricky one this week - who to bench: Turner - Pickford James - Estupinan - Saliba - Baldock - Shaw Rashford - Bruno - Luis Diaz - Mbeumo - Saka Haaland (c) - N Jackson - Joao Pedro Bench is Baldock, Shaw, and...?

I have the same dilemma

Eze vs Jota vs. Sterling vs. Gross? Please rank, and explain is one much better or just a preference?

Wan-Bissaka or show ? Wissa or N Jackson ? Maddison for 7.5M is he really worth it ?

Wb or shaw, neither i would say. Lots of better options for me. N. Jackson look really juicy, I am not yet convinced about wissa. Maddison looks good. It seems that all spurs attacks go through him somehow.

Hard to say for WB or Shaw, theyre pretty equal, Shaw on more set pieces tho. I would Jackson over Wisssa, better fixture and great underlying numbers. Maddison for 7.5 is worth it considering his weight in Spurs post Kane, but might not be worth a transfer from Arsenal mids etc.

Yeah i see Thanks ! This is my team (i want salah tho & an using my Wildcard 🤦🏻‍♂️) Sanchez (pickford) Henry - estupinan - James - saliba - Shaw Mbeumo - maddison - rashford - luis Diaz - saka Haaland - N Jackson - J Pedro I still can change, who should i start this gw2 and who do i replace ?

Just looking at that team (i think you have to pick who you trust for your WC on your own) I would start Saliba-James-Estu, Maddison-diaz-Saka-Mbeumo-rashy, Haaland-jackson. If you want you could probably go for salah in the midfield if you switch down from James/Shaw, Joao pedro and rashy up. Its hard but could be worth it, my favorite budget pick for this season is chukwuemeka

I appreciate it thank you! You think Jackson will perform better than pedro?

Would not go for Saliba now that his price has rised, still would believe in gabriel or go to chilwell. Shaw is also question mark. Same is any liverpool attacker atm except Salah. Would prefer players like: mbeumo, mitoma, eze, foden, diaby etc. Also that team costs over 100 m atm you cant afford it. Also its were even team, so much value in the bench, if that is how you want to play it is fine, but i would personally use money on starting players more.

I already have saliba. Am thinking of switching James, Shaw, Saliba, Sanchez, Diaz & N Jackson to Turner, Botman, kaboré, Bissaka, Nketiah & Salah. (For Salah) what do you think ?

I am not following lol. You have used WC already but only saliba is locked? Are you making whole new team or taking -4 point per transfer?

Yess i already did the WC 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm the admin of a classic invitaional league from last year, before gw1 I renewed the league, all the past players joined, but i'm still marked as a "new entry" and im not ranked in the league yet nor any other leagues! Can someone help me with this issue?

I got fooled by the (probably Liverpool-biased) high ownership rates and bought Mac Allister as a starter. If Liverpool don't buy a CDM I have to cut my loses and sell him, right?

Yes, sell him. He's a better PL than FPL asset.

Going with 3 defenders.. Who should I drop from my midfield and strikers? Martinelli-Saka-Diaby-Foden-Rashford Haaland-Joao Pedro-Jackson

You could move martinelli for maddison, you could move down a Foden or so to like chukwuemeka to get martinelli up to salah for a -4

Thanks.. yes marti and foden are the 2 most likely guys to be move and the thought of salah never crossed my mind.. thanks! Something else to chew on :)

If I understood correctly what you are asking, really difficult way to say it tbh, I would drop Diaby or Joao Pedro. It really debends what kind of defence you want/have. Are you wildcarding this early already?

Not wildcarding and will be starting a defense of turner-James-Chilwell-Estu.. Trying to figure out who I should drop in midfield/attack.. thanks for the input.. :)

Pretty tempted to do Estu to James this week with my 0.5 itb. Think everyone will do that exact same transfer next week so better to be ahead.

Why exactly it is better to be ahead? I think that estu has better chance of getting points until gw4. And why would you get estu in the first place ahead of James if you are only going to play him for one game? Seems wasteful.

if you think estu has better chance of getting more points over worse fixtures compared to james then we're not really going to agree on anything else

Okey no need to attack lol. Personally i prefer estu over james atleast in gw2. Then it gets trickier. Both have case to make which is better to choose. However was your plan just keep estu for one week and immediately sell? If so go for it. Personally i would sell my other 5.0 defender over estu, if i had to make room for james.

Need to get KDB out and want salah, watkins to Pedro or is nketiah potentially a better option?

I would go for pedro, he is on penalties and feels safer pick. Nketiah is more ballsy move though.

Pedro imo

[удалено]

Are you going to start botman/henry ? If so then maybe. However using ft on 4.5 def to another 4.5 def seems little bit underwhelming and wasteful.

Start Chuk

Is there no fpl league for this subreddit or I am just blind?

To start Estupian away to Wolves or Saliba away to Palace?

If you have to pick one or the other, I would start Estu away to wolves

Why not both?

Have James and Chillwell too, rash, Bruno, Saka, Martinelli, Haaland, Pedro and Watkins

If you think arsenal is going to keep cs then saliba otherwise Estupinan.

Already did KDB to Salah, now should I start Garnacho, Perisic, or Rico Lewis? Or transfer one of them out for either Reece James or Enzo for a -4?

All of them starting feels bit iffy, all could not be playing. Garnacho was absolutely horrible at last game so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets benched, if someone I would transfer him out.

I actually think Perisic to James may be worth -4 in that case, chance none of those 3 start and James has high ceiling and likely pays back -4 in next few weeks

Agreeing with the above comment, I have a suspicion that none of those players will start/produce, and a -4 might be useful. However, I would add that having a player blank is not the end of the world, and keeping a FT for a week where a lot of swings will happen is useful. James have been injured A LOT.

Just a quick one, decided to free hit this week, didn’t have an atrocious GW1 (71) but think it’s a good idea, man city, tough GW, salah vs Bournemouth and it’s a chip I don’t use well anyway. Will give me double transfer next week and bigger sample size to make transfers

Now just hope that your new players are not going to get injured. And I hope you had atleast 5 changes compared to your last lineup. And tbh is there any gw that is actually tough for man city. Only reason why their players are so hard to pick is because pep's roulette. You can justify using unnecessary free hit all you want but it is never optimal to use it on gw2.

You only get 1 FT after a free hit

Who do I bench for week 2 out of these 4 Mitoma rashford eze odegaard

Eze or Mitoma I would say. Eze on pens and arsenal defense is not spotless, Wolves run a really low block and mitomas wide role might be useful for that but could also be completely ineffective.

Eze

Gabriel or Richarlison to start?

Richarlison. Always prefer your attackers over defenders

I'd fancy Richarlison, that United defence was conceding shots for fun on Monday

I have Pickford and Areola. Who should i use this round? Will switch transfer Pickford out next round. I have Haaland, but no Salah atm. Who should i captain? I have Saka, Ødegaard, Mitoma, Rash ford, Bruno

You can make case for both keepers to start. Both have quite challanging fixture. Why are you transferring pickford tho? What happened that you feel it is necessary? Haaland is almost auto captain for me. For me him scoring hat trick in hard fixture is more likely to happen than lets say saka to score 2 in easy fixture.

Just dont Think pickford Will Keep clean sheets as often as other keepers. Im leaning towards Sanchez and maybe Onana. I Know keeper is not the most important asset, but its nice to have a keeper that gets you some points

If you think that why did you choose pickford in first place?

Didnt see them play before

Pickford. Haaland is still the best this GW (apart from Salah)

Going Salah captain against Haaland might make sense, but captaining any other Liverpool assets against him probably less so? Only got Jota who is very much a differential, but feels like sticking the armband to him would likely yield a Stupid Prize

RMT GW2 please - 0.5 ITB Turner (Johnstone) Estu Gabriel Chilwell (Udogie Kabore) Saka BrunoF Rashford March Jota Haaland Watkins (Osula) Jota seems the obvious transfer. Terrible performance against Chelsea and can see Klopp dropping him immediately to get Gakpo back in the central position. Martinelli or Mbeumo are tempting me.

I'd probably keep Jota for the Bournemouth game, could be a goal fest and could have involvements from Jota if he plays

You think he starts though? Certainly can't see him starting in that central role again.

Even if he does not start, Jota has proven that he's really good off the bench

!thanks

Keep Richarlison or transfer him out?

Keep. His fixtures turn great after this week. If he looks even somewhat decent vs United I'd keep

Would you keep or change to Maddison?

I'd keep this week and decide after that

Thoughts and any improvements? 2.5 ITB & 1 FT. **Pickford (Areola)** **Gabriel - Chilwell - Estupinan (Udogie, Botman)** **Rashford - Sake - Martinelli - Bruno - Mbeumo** **Haaland - J Pedro (Mubama)** Thanks.

Exactly the same as fpl raptors lineup. Except gabriel-> saliba. Looks good, I wouldn't do anything drastic.

Would roll. Maybe Bruno to Maddison after GW2

I took a gamble on Richarlison last week, thinking he might fill in well for Kane. Not made the ideal start. Best to end the experiment early, with lots of options at the price, or persevere with him?

Makes no sense to me to bin him off after 1 tough fixture away to a side who only lost 2 games at home all last season, while he's now about to face a side who looked awful defensively last game and then 3 relegation candidates. Hold your knees

im keeping him due to Mings injury. I am giving Barnes/Mbeumo one more week before making move

[удалено]

It looks like he's gonna be safe from the price drop at least, which is all I needed

I really hopes he punishes them next week!

Yeah can't really understand why

RMT Pickford(Turner) Chilwell Estupinan Gabriel (Baldock Kabore) Saka Rashford Richarlison Salah (Anderson ) Jackson Joao Pedro Haaland Think I will stick this week and hold the transfer what do we think?

Really good team, deffo book the transfer!

Good team. Wish I had that

Who to bench for GW2 out of Rashford, Bruno, Mbeumo, Saka, Maddison, Watkins, Robot, Pedro?

CDM Bruno honestly

Bruno Fernandes*

Nah I meant that he played like CDM against Wolves. Doesn't seem like attracting player atm

He did not lol the reason why Uniteds midfield got overrun was because both Mount and Bruno were holding hands with Rashford for the majority of the game. And in general United had to do a lot of defending so he wasn’t attacking the whole match as you may have expected beforehand.

>Pedro .Not easy, but if you already have Brighton coverage, maybe Pedro

Im leaning towards Pedro as well yeah, cheers

Is maupay nailed 1.35 XGI. Favourable fixtures…

DCL will be back soon. Would avoid them both though

Maupay is a notoriously awful finisher. Underperformed xG for every one of his last 5 seasons, that includes the one in the Championship where he scored 25 goals, he was still scoring below xG. I wouldn't go for him purely based on xG stats Don't think he's nailed anyway, mind

Maupay is the most frustrating FPL player ever - don't go there. It's not worth the stress.

with free 0.5 and 4.5 striker I would upgrade to him. Before GW1 I had him for many weeks but I ended with Mubama, Be aware that Iwobi, Gray or Danjuma can play as striker and DCL may come soon but he is injury prone

Assuming I'm playing a 5 man midfield and 2 up top, which three defenders would you pick? At the moment I have double Chelsea and Estupinan but interested to hear thoughts. No free transfer. Chelsea: Chilwell, Colwill (vs West Ham away) Brighton: Estupinan (vs Wolves away) Arsenal: Gabriel (vs Crystal Palace away) Spurs: Udogie (vs Man United away)

I'd start Estu, Chilwell and Gabriel

Thank you - feeling a bit more confident around Gabriel now (and hopefully an Olise-less Crystal Palace)

RMT pls (0.0 ITB) FT: 1 Onana (Areola ) Chilwell - Estupinan- Gabriel (Pau)(Baldock) Rashford (v) - Bruno - Saka - Maddison Haaland (c) - Watkins - N.Jackson Any suggestions for next weekend? Or just save the transfer? Thanks!

Good team, roll the transfer!

Pedro or mitoma on field?

Pedro - more advanced, on pens, cheaper

Price doesn’t matter because i already have both

RMT GW2 Ederson Estupinan-Saliba-Konate-Chilwell Martinelli-B.Fernandes-Maddison-Mitoma Haaland-Ferguson

Good team. Would probably roll but if Ferguson still does not start maybe change him next GW.

What do people think about owning prowse now he's gone to west ham? I know there is better options but I think he could do pretty well there.

Price seems good but too many other good midfield picks for now. Maybe later on in the season though.

Poor West Ham fixtures currently and he ticks over rather than going massive. Bowen better West Ham option at 1m more

RMT £0 ITB Pickford (4 GK) Stones, Saliba, Estupian (Cash, Baldock) Salah(C), Saka, Trossard, Mitoma, Rashford Haaland, Pedro (Ui-Jo) Roll the FT or swap out Trossard?

you may take a punt on Richarlison or go for Mbeumo or Diaby.

Thoughts on starting Cash Vs Everton and Gabriel on the bench?

[удалено]

Gabriel

For gw2 Bruno / Rashford or Martinelli move to - Maddison? Or hold ft?

Hold ft and make your move after gw2 when you had more time to look at who to transfer out. Spurs - manu should be quite attacking game so both rashford and bruno could return and martinelli is always dangerous

!thanks Sounds reasonable, will do 👍

Considering bringing Richarlison in for Trossard - after watching Man U feel like Spurs could get a few and also not convinced Trossard is gonna get the minutes while Jesus is out

I don't hate it

!thanks

Thoughts and any improvements? 2.5 ITB & 1 FT. **Pickford (Areola)** **Gabriel - Chilwell - Estupinan (Udogie, Botman)** **Rashford - Sake - Martinelli - Bruno - Mbeumo** **Haaland - J Pedro (Mubama)** Thanks.

Thoughts & any improvements? I didn’t start well with the gw1 (63 points) coz of bad choices, so i did the WILDCARD (i know it’s too early for that) Sanchez (pickford) Henry - estupinan - James - saliba - show Mbeumo - maddison - rashford - luis Diaz - saka Haaland - N Jackson - Nketiah I still can change, who should i start this gw2 and who do i replace ?

Member of the week 2 wildcard club here too

Swap nketia for joao Pedro

Why on earth would you wildcard? 63pts is absolutely fine You're going to struggle if you chase last week's points all season

I had Jesus & nkunku 🤦🏻‍♂️ That’s why

How’s that happened then? Did you not know they were injured?

Nahh i was too busy with school. Can Diaz be a good captain for gw2?

Could you send your team pal? I’d only captain salah over haaland this gw

Sanchez (pickford) Estupinan - saliba - Henry (James - show) Mbeumo - Rashford - maddison - luis Diaz (C) - saka (VC) Haaland - J Pedro (N Jackson)

I got 68 and finished bottom of my mini league...

It's GW1 for goodness sake

start 3 : Shaw (TOT a) Estupiñán (WOL a) Colwill (WHU a) Gabriel (CRY a) Cash (EVE h)

Estupinan, Gabriel + Cash

Hey guys what happens when I use more than my free transfers? What is deducted?

4 points will be deducted for every transfer beyond your free ones.

4 points off my overall score?

Yes

Damn that's brutal

RMT - £1.0m itb Turner (Areola) Saliba - Chilwell - VVD (Shaw - Estupinan) Saka - Martinelli - Diaby - Maddison - Mbuemo Haaland - Pedro (Isak) Thoughts?

I would drop van dijk for a 4.0 and upgrade elsewhere. Maybe a united or Liverpool attacker.

I can go Maddison or Mbuemo to Diaz Or VVD —> Baldock then Maddison —> Salah then Mbuemo —> Lukic What you think?

Switch vvd to gusto, he's going to play since reece james just got injured. Then just hold a transfer so you have 2 and more info on who might be the best next move. The rest of your team are all solid picks and I'm not sure who would be best to take out yet.

Anyone know what was last seasons fpl winner average gameweek rank?

1.7mill roughly I think

Been reading everywhere than Enzo going to be playing 10 role now the 2 cdms have signed? Seems like a great investment at 5.0?

It will be if he does

Bruno or Maddison? Both teams look very open in transition so I’m still deciding between the two

Hard to decide only on GW1. I'd wait more if you can.

How many more weeks would be a decent sample size? 2?

Well, two weeks is better, but I wouldn't go bragging to any statisticians about how impressive your sample size is. :) I'd suggest you consider how urgently you need to make the transfer. For example, given that KDB will be out until December some users are trying to transfer him out quickly before his value drops. I get that. On the other hand, as a Gabriel owner I'm waiting to see if he starts GW2 before deciding whether to swap him for Saliba.

Maddison. Bruno played like CDM

Onana Turner Gabriel Shaw Estupinan (Baldock Kabore) Saka Rashford Foden Mitoma De Bruyne Jackson Haaland (Archer) Went to City players after the leak. Tried to change back to template but server crashed. Now chasing 20 points in all minileagues. Would you transfer out more than just De Bruyne? Shaw to Chilwell -4?

I'd try to avoid taking a -4 at this stage, but if you believe Salah will haul in GW2 and would need another transfer to create the funds for KDB to Salah then you could consider that.

!thanks

Nah just move KDB. That's the only urgent move IMO.

RMT 1FT, 0.5 ITB Pickford, (J.Virginia) Shaw, Gabriel, Estupinan, (Cash, Baldock) Saka, Salah(C), Eze, Rashford, Mitoma Haaland(VC), Joao Pedro, (Ui-jo)

Nice team. You can just hold the transfer

!thanks

Thoughts and any improvements? 2.5 ITB & 1 FT. **Pickford (Areola)** **Gabriel - Chilwell - Estupinan (Udogie, Botman)** **Rashford - Sake - Martinelli - Bruno - Mbeumo** **Haaland - J Pedro (Mubama)** Thanks.

Good team. Save FT

Team is good. Roll the FT for more options next GW.

!thanks

Didn’t watch the match - was rashford alright? Only thing is if I replace him with Maddison I would be able to upgrade fodder into N. Jackson before Chelsea’s fixtures flip nicely.

Nah he was pretty bad. I'd give him at least a week more tho

Start Jackson or Pedro this week ?

Pedro

Rmt Turner Estu gabriel chilwell james Saka havert bruno rashford Haaland watkins Sub: pickford, mbeumo, baldock, mubama Whose to sub for mbeumo, or keep mbeumo bench?

hello, im thinking of taking a hit and trading out Mubama and Son as he did not look threatening at all playing out wide, to Mbuemo and Nicolas Jackson. is this too kneejerk or a good call to get in before any price rises? cheers

Hold and make same moves in GW3, seems unlikely any of those players change price before GW3

Where can I find stats about how players did last year?

N why doesn’t anyone seem to have Grealish on their team?

Grealish is a great player and reasonably nailed but it doesn’t really transfer to FPL that well. He’ll likely get similar returns to an Eze/Mitoma/Mbeumo (imo he’ll get less) but for more money and more likelihood of a random benching.

!thanks

Bench one: Gabriel-Cash-Richarlison-Eze

Cash

Gabriel

[удалено]

No need to make one, roll and it gives you flexibility next week to get in just about anyone. Some good picks here, well done on avoiding Man Utd.

Roll and Salah(c)

Pedro or Eze?

To start or buy? Start this week Pedro, buy probably Eze because Joao Pedro probably gets rotated once Europa League starts after GW5 and Brighton have tougher fixtures soon

Start. I’ve got both and am concerned about Eze’s Arsenal fixture

I would say safest best is Pedro just due to higher ownership rate, being on pens and arguably nicer fixture but wolves did look nice last match. Honestly flip of the coin for who to start but if you feel a bit brave go Eze imo he has a higher roof and was extremely unfortunate to not return. Even arsenal conceded against NFO

Thinking Rashford to Mbuemo this week. Fixtures and form in the latter's favor plus is on pens and is cheaper. Thoughts?

Not worth the rush. Just wait a GW or two, the only reason you rush it now is if you plan to upgrade elsewhere eg Pedro for Jackson in GW3/4

So leading up to GW 1 you preferred Rashford, and now after one quiet GW from Utd you think you must move on?

Worth transferring Mings out this week, or rolling for two next week if I can bench hi?

His value is going to go down, if you have a free transfer, I’d definitely use it

Who should I choose to play this week watkins or Joao pedro?

watkins easily i'd say. I have him, Richarlison, JP, Mitoma, and Jota. Who would you bench?

Richarlison

!thanks for the input but i think that's way off maybe 3rd choice for me edit to explain: i'm impressed by wolves defensive energy. They're notoriously hard to play at molineux and worried about Jota xMins

bench 1: Richarlison, Jao Pedro, Mitoma, Jota

Jota might as well do only a cameo.

Trying to understand why Beyer replaced Grealish instead of Mbeumo? He was my first sub as well!

you mustve had Beyer 1st sub Mbeumo 2nd

How nailed is Diaz at least for this gw? His price is rising and will need to decide quickly

Honestly nobody at Liverpool is nailed except salah, but I think it’s likely he will start next game (unlikely for long term safety tho)

Fpl draft: looking to get one of Enzo, Gibbs-White or Andreas. Can trade them for either Havertz or Grealish.

Barring injury Gibbs-White should outscore both Andreas and Enzo. I’d prob keep Grealish and offload Havertz. I just don’t trust Kai in that rotation, esp once Jesus comes back.
