Fantasy Premier League 21/22

[IrishBlue1]

Did Son > Maddison yesterday for the DGW which blew up in my face. Though Maddison still has the game v Spurs.
Currently have £4.5m in the bank and Salah on my bench though a decent XI for tomorrow.

Think im going to leave it at that. I dont want to tear up my team for a -4 and get Kane/Ronaldo in who have been garbage relative to their price this season.
I really dont want to get a player in that i'll be then stuck with long term and it would take another -4 to reverse.
Or box myself into a situation where id need to use my wildcard.

 

[Gringo]

Where are these outbreaks coming from!?

I've been working in a supermarket with customers since it started and not ONCE been positive. I guess they're regularly tested so more chance of being caught positive.

 

[El-Manos]

Dennis is my captain. Let’s bring it on.

 

[Samid]

Does anyone know if Foden is fit? I put down his last absence to being too drunk after New Year

He had covid. That was 14+ days ago so he should be back.

 

[Sandikan]

Big question..

-4 for Son to Bruno (c)

Or
-8 James to Lamptey and Watkins to Ronaldo (c)
Can afford this exactly to the 0.1m, which makes it feel like fate...or pure coincidence!

The latter doesn't take care of Son who is obviously out, but the former doesn't deal with James who is obviously out.
Moving Son to Bruno allows back to Salah soon. But Ronaldo with 2 games if he plays feels big - remembering all the excitement and must have nature . But then we're no attacking force, but then Brentford are pony, and Villa not amazing.

I can field the below without doing anything

De Gea
TAA, Cancelo, Dalot, Rudiger
Maddison, Jota, Bowen
Watkins, Dennis, Antonio

Subs Brownhill single (Son & James injured),

I guess you don’t throw yourself into the arms of your co-workers and your customers, with hugs and kisses, every time you sell a grocery?

 

[Dirty Schwein]

This is my team:

DDG
TAA, Cancelo, Keane
Gray, Raphinha, Bowen, Jota
Antonio, Ronaldo (c), Watkins

Subs: Foster, Tierney, Son, Livramento

1 Free transfer...

What do I do?

I can take a hit and swap Watkins and Son to Dennis and Bruno (which seems obvious until you remember that Dennis may now not double and Watkins doubles next week most likely)

Or I can do nothing...

Maybe option 2 and get rid of Son next week?

 

[Maluco]

Is Lamptey nailed on to start both games? Or is Cucurella a safer option?

 

[MrBrightside1989]

Probably cucarella to be honest. I have had lamptey for a few weeks but he's no done that well for me.

 

[Sarni]

Think I’m going to captain Maupay. Two games, has been pretty good, Palace and Chelsea can’t defend much these days. May be better than Moura.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Has Ronaldo been passed fit in the presser? Basically deciding if I captain him, King or Bruno...

Keep Watkins for the Villa double. Bin Son for someone else.

 

[Withnail]

I was looking at maybe bringing Bruno in. 11.6 is outrageous given the season he's having,

 

[CassiusClaymore]

-4 for Son to Bruno (c)

Or
-8 James to Lamptey and Watkins to Ronaldo (c)

@Dirty Schwein @CassiusClaymore @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Moby @anyoneelse

I've just done the -4 for Son > Bruno for now. Now having a long hard think about whether I want to turn that into a wildcard or not.

Again, I'd keep Watkins.

 

[Looptheloop16]

Transferred Maddison in last night.
6 players with doubles but 1 is reguilon and the other is dalot....

Roll the dice with Dalot or just start Antonio v Leeds?

 

[DickDastardly]

Think I’m going to captain Maupay. Two games, has been pretty good, Palace and Chelsea can’t defend much these days. May be better than Moura.

Now i have to put Maupay.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Keep Watkins for the Villa double. Bin Son for someone else.

If I keep Watkins, I can't do Son to Bruno as I don't have the cash... who is the next best option around Son's price bracket or cheaper?

 

[Gringo]

My free hit at the minute

De Gea
Alonso Coady TAA
Jota, Mount, Trossard, Bowen
Ronaldo, Kane, Dennis

 

[CassiusClaymore]

If I keep Watkins, I can't do Son to Bruno as I don't have the cash... who is the next best option around Son's price bracket or cheaper?

Probably Mount, Moura or Trossard for this week but you'd want to move Mount and Trossard back out fairly quickly due to blanks and fixtures and Moura might not have a double.

 

[Nickosaur]

If Spurs-Arse is postponed before the deadline... would that make anyone more tempted to free hit?

fecking right laugh this game is

 

[Withnail]

I've lost track of me transfers completely. I took Salah out a week ago and I've checked and have now made 4 transfers due to various shenanigans.

I'm wondering if I might be as well off to use my free transfer this week.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

IV gone Son to Bruno and captained him. Feels so rogue but I'm close to past caring at this point. It's impossible to put any kind of plan together so Bruno in for the double and be my Salah Placeholder seems as good of a plan as any.

How the hell do I still own Reece James? Hahaha

 

[Gazautd18]

It's a broader point. Is it me or are clubs taking the piss a bit (fecking Liverpool with their fake positives)

Burnley sold Wood yesterday and now claim they haven't enough eligible players. (Covid /AFCON /injuries)
Arsenal now trying the same thing.
Bit of a farce now.

@Sandikan @Moby @CassiusClaymore @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson or anyone else!

I'd probably be tempted to stay as you are. You have Ronaldo for United coverage so Bruno not needed, and not like we're goal maniacs.
You can easily field 11.
And it gives you more flex next week and beyond.

 

[Moby]

Final call.

DDG
Alonso, Trent, Cancelo
Bowen, Jota, Gray, Bernardo, Maddison
Antonio, Ronaldo

Foster, Diop, Broja, Livra

Quick questions:
1. Broja to Dennis for -4? (Bench Bernardo)
2. Broja to DCL for -4? (Bench Bernardo)
3. Start Diop instead of Cancelo?
4. Start Broja instead of Bernardo?

Ta!

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Isn't Varane more likely to play the 2 games? Not that we would keep a clean sheet.

Someone already has Varane so I can’t have him.

 

[Sandikan]

I've just done the -4 for Son > Bruno for now. Now having a long hard think about whether I want to turn that into a wildcard or not.

Again, I'd keep Watkins.

Yeah screw it, I think i'll do Son to Bruno (c). Wasn't that long ago Bruno was THE must have player, and the idea of not having THE must have player for a double would be insanity.
It leaves it easy to get Salah back in too without a wildcard.

Son feels too expensive to leave doesn't he, while James can wait.

Leaving a 12 man outfit of below

De Gea
TAA, Cancelo, Dalot, Rudiger
Maddison, Jota, Bowen, Bruno
Watkins, Dennis, Antonio


New question - who to bench out of that lot

@Dirty Schwein as well as mobes, who do we reckon?

Difficult as Dalot could have 2 games! Rudiger does have 2 games, but you wouldn't leave out Cancelo or TAA.

 

[BootsyCollins]

Team (on free hit)
DDG
Varane-Regiulon-Alonso
Mount-Jourginho-Trossard-Moura
Ronaldo-Kane-Dennis
Bench : crap
What can i do to make it better? I am no threat do any of you so please give me tips.

 

[Maluco]

I almost get Burnley, because it wasn’t their fault that Wood’s clause was met, and they have a small squad as it is.

But Liverpool’s false positives, Leicester winning 4-1 days before a cancellation and now Arsenal loaning our a midfielder days before asking for a cancellation because of a red card?

It’s making the whole thing absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Sandikan]

Final call.

DDG
Alonso, Trent, Cancelo
Bowen, Jota, Gray, Bernardo, Maddison
Antonio, Ronaldo

Ta!

Think you're safest leaving the 11 as you have it.
Imagine if you bench Bernado for a -4 and Dennis ends up a single game because of Burnley midweek.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Yeah screw it, I think i'll do Son to Bruno (c). Wasn't that long ago Bruno was THE must have player, and the idea of not having THE must have player for a double would be insanity.

I'd bench Dalot. You've got De Gea, we're shit in defence anyway and he had that big gash in his foot.

 

[Ajr]

De Gea (Guiata)

Trent Alonso Cancelo Reguilion (Cash)

Jota Madison Bowen Gray (Ramsey)

King Ronaldo (Broja)

Take a -4 for something? 7.1 mill in the bank

Thinking Ramsey to Bruno and dropping Maddison to the bench

 

[Sandikan]

Ok slightly nervous looking at the captain poll with Ronaldo miles clear, and being 3rd top striker....hmmm

Might have to go the -8 route...

I think Jorginho is a clever one as their could easily be penalties across the two games.

One thing I would say, which I get wrong every year, is to be careful going for double GW players just for the sake of it.

Jota at home to brentford and Bowen at home to a wide open Leeds are too good to pass on in my opinion.

TAA at home to Brentford too. That could be a big number.

Dalot or Maddison

 

[Sandikan]

I'd bench Dalot. You've got De Gea, we're shit in defence anyway and he had that big gash in his foot.

Having a quick re-assessment... I think not having Ronaldo as cap across 2 games is going to feel too scary, so i think i'll go the -8 route, deal with James at the same time as he is out for ages AND Chelsea have a patch without games too! Take the pain this week.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Might have to go the -8 route...

You JUST convinced me to not get Bruno as I have united cover and we are shit in attack then you post this?!!?!?!?

 

[Sandikan]

Dalot or Maddison

New plan. Ronaldo in for Watkins, who has 2 tough games coming and is playing wide, and deal with James down to a 4.5m man, possibly Lamptey

That'd give

De Gea
TAA, Cancelo, , Rudiger, Lamptey
Maddison, Jota, Bowen
Ronaldo (c), Dennis, Antonio

Dalot, Brownhill

 

[saivet]

Who to replace Son? As it stands, I'm thinking Greenwood or Bruno? With Maddison missing a game and Lucas potentially missing a game I may just go double United.
