Maybe, but it's going to be so important to wait until the deadline to do transfers this season. You will be rewarded for waiting over the course of the season.
Fantasy Premier League 20/21
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I reckon Bruno and VDB will both be starting, so less likely he'll get subbed off hopefully. I'm keeping him as my captain.Anyone cautious that Bruno might not see a full 90 mins or dare I say even rested at the weekend?
Leipzig is a must qualify game.
Thinking about my captain choice and I brought in Vardy last week. I captained him against Fulhamand I'm tempted to go again against Sheffield Utd.
Who are City likely to field against the cannon fodder Fulham at home? Likes of Mahrez, Foden, Silva, Gundogan, etc are in and out sort of men.
Totally agree. I have waited every week for the last day. The plan is recent anyway and I would not have made it before the Villa-Newcastle news.
Just a little bad luck here with 0.1 difference. I knew KDB would go up at some point and I was sure to get him in some way.
I think selling Justin to get those 0.1 might make most sense. He looks to not keep his place in the future and I save myself a future transfer on him.
Just Sheffield is ideal fixture for him so do not really want to make the move right now.
I think Jesus, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling/Torres will start. Expect similar team that played Burnley, but who knows with Pep.
Yes and no. If you have a reasonably deep team you should be able to get 11 players most of the time. Value has been going up quite quickly this year some players have already gained 0.5+ which makes it worthwhile to move early. My team will approach 106.0 soon. Jota has gone up 0.3m in 7 days.
Surely VDB will not start?
I think if there was ever a season where TV mattered very little it is this.
Any suggestions for a dead cheap defender (4.5M or less) who gets to play games and make ok-ish points
I am thinking of doing Coufal to Balbuena to free up 0.1 that allow me to get KDB.
Silly move or worth it?
All other moves involve removing a player I want for the next 1-2 games for someone I want less basically.

Having one solid forward/midfield sub like jota/bamford/watkins makes it a lot easier for you to make early transfers to get the value, in case of any random injuries. That's my tactic this year anyway!
How come? He didn't start mid week, so unless it's his swollen ankIe I would've thought Bruno and VDB would be starting together like vs Southampton. Rashford is also injured so the front 3 will probably be Martial Fernandes Cavani with 3 midfielders including VDB behind, or Martial Cavani Greenwood with Fernandes VDB Fred/McTominay.
Dallas. 4.5 and he is very involved in the attacking play.
Kilman, Targett (not playing this gw), Bednarek.
Dallas plays in midfield sometimes too but has been underwhelming for fpl in my opinion.
1 blank in his last 5 game weeks. 3 clean sheets and a goal is hardly overwhelming for a 4.5 defender.
True. I don’t expect Leeds to keep many clean sheets though
Why?
There are many assets who were clearly very underpriced from the beginning. Probably more than the average.
Explored the option of how to deal with 3 Villa players and the best bet might simply be moving Martinez to Mendy.
Costs 0.5m and I have 1.1m in the bank, which still allows my intended De Bruyne to Salah transfer next week - as long as I monitor the price changes!
McCarthy is another option without touching the 1.1m but Chelsea have to be a better bet to have coverage for longer term right?
Mendy has 5 clean sheets from his 6 games.
A few awkward looking aways to come though - Wolves Everton and Arsenal in the next 5.

Not me.
Ole had to play him to get even a sniff of chance winning the game.
I do expect him get sub out before the 90 mins, depends.
Don't get Jorginho. He rarely playing nowadays. Plenty of better options.
If you want a cheaper midfield alternative, then maybe that Southampton guy with good crossing and set-piece skill (forgettable name).
Swapped Hames out for Son.
And Captain Bruno this GW even though I have low confidence, because why not?

I am sitting with Kilman in a back 4, knowing that is the right thing to do, because it’s only a week and players blank all the time (don’t have a bench option that plays)
Why do I find it so hard to not take the -4 and make a change?
I have no self control
But I know that I could make back two points changing Watkins to a starter, probably. And if you pick someone who scores...

Thinking about selling Justin. Pretty poor time to do it, but I don't think he will be nailed for long.
Any ideas about that move?

Yes just used my free hit card to chuck three of them in. Mahrez, Torres, and Jesus not risk captaining any of them though you never with Peps lineup.
Why no De Bruyne?
I've got him in just for this free hit week, Leicester will soon have Ricardo back.
Too pricey already got Kane & Salah. He hasn't scored since opening game either the others have, Mahrez tends to do it at home against these bottom teams too.
Anyone know whether Lloris will start against Arsenal? Spurs are leaving it late in the day here, FPL have not got him down as an injury doubt but reports are saying he will the miss the match and Joe hart will play.
Alright, but De Bruyne feels more safe. Not sure about Salah vs Wolves nor if Kane is fully fit.
I think I have to make one move to free up money for De Bruyne and I expect I will have to sell Justin in the future so saves me a transfer.
As long as you have at least 3 other starting defenders, he's probably not a priority?
Just monitor it. See how it pans out for now.
He's been decent this season, will be very harsh if he's dropped.
Unless any prices move over night i have just enough to the penny for Rashy out and KDB in.
He has been decent. But when Pereira and Castagne back, Rodgers has said Leicester go back to a 442. Sadly he doesn't get into their first XI when fit. He's still a good choice for week or two until everyone is back.
Have to think he is on borrowed time, will look to transfer him out soon.
Ryan - Martin
KWP - Konsa - Zouma - Mitchell - Lamptey
Fernandes - Son - Salah - Zaha - Grealish
Kane - DCL - Davis

Nothing in the bank. Team feels very meh. Might hold off on transfers so I get a double next week, but is there anything I desperately need to be doing?
Yes I would ideally keep him, but need 0.1 for KDB. Removing Lamptey feels worse than Justin since he should keep on playing a lot.
Yeah them two are better tbf, can't imagine he will be happy being sub for long however.
That would be my plan, but I need the cash for KDB.
I feel I have been too much short sighted recently getting Bruno, Vardy and now KDB all as captains for the week I am getting them.
Justin out is a more christmas friendly move for a nailed on player like Dallas or Bednarek.

Not much wrong with it but the plan should be probably ditching Zaha to put a bit more funds into the defence. I'd be thinking either Jota or freeing up a fair bit with Soucek
Against my better judgement I'm playing Pep roulette again. Said to myself I'm gonna take more risks now and have fun with it.
Cancelo and Foden out for Vestergard and Mahrez. Arm band on Mahrez.
Guiata
Vestergard / Lamptey / Zouma
Mahrez / Bruno / Son / Ziyech
Kane / Vardy / DCL
Dallas first sub.
Next week another -4 to get Salah in and captain him. Ziyech and Vardy to Salah and Bamford.

Thanks, Zaha's been awful for a while
He's definitely going to be the one to go. I'm going to keep an eye on Son/Kane for Spurs too - once Jose gets some injures or fatigue they'll stumble badly
