Fantasy Premier League 20/21

[RashyForPM]

Trossard made a goal contribution in each of his first two games and hit the post about 300 times against us last Saturday - he’s in form. So is Costa, but less so, and his next fixtures are City and Wolves while Trossard’s are Everton, Palace and WBA. Obviously I’m leaning towards Trossard but I’d like to hear the general consensus around here.

Trossard or Costa?

 

[RashyForPM]

Also, Barnes and Maupay or DCL and Trossard?

It is tricky. Everton and Palace feels more defensivly solid this season than City and Wolves.
West Brom could be really good though.
Overall looking longer term I would take the Brighton player based on fixtures.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Need to transfer in a midfielder < 8.0 value whom I could keep on the team for a few weeks at least. Any suggestions?

Done, and also did Davis to Calvert-Lewindowski from the funds earned by doing Son to Trossard. Brighton look good this season.

Yeah I might bring him in too for Podence. Not this week though. I already got double Brighton players though so that is a problem with rotation.
Calvert Lewindowski is the best pick I made from the start. Will see if he keeps it up. I do not dare to give him the armband though.

The good thing is if we are all wrong and Villa smashes Liverpool 5-0 with Grealish hattrick we can alll enjoy that too.
Although you might be frustrated, but at least might gain team value.
Do you have other options to bench like maybe a defender since there is so many goals so far?

I have Mitchell on the bench but they are away to free scoring Chelsea so I’d rather not play him and stick to my three defenders. I have Callum Wilson starting at home and it’s an easier game for him. If not I would sub him out and bring in Grealish.

Alright so you have 8 strong attackers. Must be hard to know who to bench. I find it hard enough with 5 defenders and 7 attackers.
It is more fun to go for attacking returns so I mostly bench two defenders each week and my 4.5 in Anguissa who will just play in emergency.

 

[TMDaines]

So the Liverpool rumour appears to been just that.

I am waiting for the first player in my fantasy team to miss games due to Corona.
Someone going to catch it I think.
Most healthy for my team would probably be Werner since I really need to sell him at some point.

Foden, Zaha, Barnes, Mount in that order for me. Greenwood is another option, but we're shit.

 

[diarm]

Saliba and Vinaigre gone this afternoon if the rumours are to be believed. That's my bench gone.

Rennes on loan apparently. There were a few tweets earlier on.

Maddison? I’m still thinking between him and Mahrez for this weekend to replace Son.

Tweet

— Twitter API (@user) date

Bit worried after reading Big Man Bakar’s review that Mahrez and Saïss might not play. Feels like I’ve only got three or four nailed on!

Mahrez is the one I'm looking at. Will hold Son if not him.

 

[Nickosaur]

Reports saying Mane has tested positive for covid-19.

 

[sillwuka]

Son for Barnes this week.

He was unlucky to not get many points last game.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Reports saying Mane has tested positive for covid-19.

Link to these reports?

 

[K Stand Knut]

Link to these reports?

it was rumoured this morning. Can’t find anything to substantiate it.

Sounds like Bollocks

This bloke on twitter first broke the Thiago covid positive news too apparently.

OK. Can I still call bullshit??

Its not true. You can post this when you find out I’m right In the future.

Or you can remember it when I’m wrong and tel me I was wrong all along.

Not really a report that. But, I think it might be true tbh.

My team this week :

McCarthy
TAA-- KWP -- Coady
Foden -- Havertz -- KDB -- Fernandes
--- Jimenez -- Richarlison-- Inga

Got KDB captain. Subbed in Fernandes for Son... Richarlison is making me nervous, anyone else there who looks a poor pick?

Decent pick, he's on pens so he should be good for 15 goals minimum in a much improved Everton team

I think you look ready to go this week. I've doubled on the Southampton defence and it could come back to bite us.

I feel you're still likely to get some sort of attacking contribution from each of your front men.

we’ll see, won’t we.

if I had him in my FPL team, I wouldn't take him out

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Being on wildcard I would take Salah over him.
Not worth a transfer now though even with these news.

 

[Sandikan]

Normally these player out scares break about 2mins after the deadline

It is true, as I thought.

Salah too we might find out. Although he played yesterday.

And was pictured in training today. Whereas Mane was missing.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Mane is out. It's on sky sports

 

[TMDaines]

My three Liverpool defenders are all pictured thankfully, but I imagine they may all be tested tomorrow again or late tonight.

Let’s agree to null and void?

 

[Neo_Mufc]

What impact does this have on FPL?

Worth captaining Salah now or does it make them weaker.

 

[TMDaines]

I own Mahrez and thought he was great value on the wildcard last week, but it seems like 80% of Bluemoon don’t see him starting this week: https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/...-score-compy-session-1-game-5-leeds-a.347884/

Makes Salah stronger. Villa looks solid though especially with Martinez now.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Anyone brave enough to bring in Diego Jota?
