If you’re on a WC take him out. If you’re not then keep him cause Firmino might miss the game cause of Brazil.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
If he is your sub off the bench then it’s fine but he doesn’t sit well with me as a starter.
Wish I’d left him in instead of Greenwood because I’ve a feeling Mason is about to drop down to rotation and Jota could start the next one.
Can't think who I would replace him with around the same price that I would be confident would start and outscore him this week. No brainer to keep imo
Ah good point about Firmino if he's going to be playing for Brazil?
I wasn't sure about Jota starting as Firmino coming back but hearing he's playing to Brazil will probably make me keep him now.
Was thinking of moving him on for Foden maybe.
Actually looks like Firmino hasn't been called up for Brazil.
Foden.
Is Kane worth a one week punt on a WC this week? Bring in Lukaku the next for Norwich.
Surely he is due - and he loves Newcastle.
Not sure there is such a thing as a 'new takeover bounce'

Fernandes dropped again... Brutal.
You can be sure if you transfer Jota out for Foden this week that will Foden will be rested v Burnley.
Yeah that Burnley game has all the hallmarks of City B team. So annoying with them. Foden starts banging but that just makes him more likely to be rested for the games he could/should haul in.
Mahrez incoming
I can't go there again. If I didn't have injuries and other stuff to contend with I might have a crack. Fair play to whoever gambles and hits the jackpot though.
Would you do Mahrez to Foden in draft if you could?
Playing Pep roulette has not worked for me. I have played with Sterling before as noone else wants him.
It's a minefield alright. I thought about going with Bernardo as he seems fairly nailed but also fairly blanking.
If I already have him I'd probably keep him - but honestly it's a pretty dangerous game.
So frustrating as City will smash 5 past Burnley but getting returns is a complete lottery.
Yeah I picked up Mahrez pretty early in the draft cause I feared others would take him. Been a disaster.It's a minefield alright. I thought about going with Bernardo as he seems fairly nailed but also fairly blanking.

Just had another play with the wildcard team, to see if you could get TAA, City and Chelsea defence, Ronaldo & Lukaku, and some sort of reasonable mid.
Sanchez Foster
TAA Rudiger Stones White Livra
Salah Rapha Gray Smith-Rowe Luiz
Ronaldo Lukaku Hwang
Worth a look. Antonio the main sacrifice there.
Stones is 5.3m and hasn't played yet this season in the league, but surely gets in sooner rather than later and will be a bargain. White & Livra plenty good fills in in the meantime.
Not set yet, but having a look.

Who is the best option to take out Sarr?
Have no money and he is worth 6.1 for me, so would have to be someone at that value or lower?
I already have Gray so don’t want to double up on Everton.

That's pretty good, thought Ronaldo + Lukaku + Salah + TAA must mean the rest of the positions are crap.
Why Stones though given he hasn't played at all so far and Laporte + Dias looks pretty good for them? I'd say get someone from the midtable with good fixtures (Marcal / One of the Brentford ones)
Rudiger, Rapinha, Stones. Hardly crap.
Mbuemo and Gallagher look excellent value. Both are 100% nailed. Mbuemo is basically a striker. Gallagher gets forward quite often. I’ve had Edouard since his 2 goals but he’s been poor/unlucky since. I’m probably going to keep him to cover Palace attack. its between him Toney and Hwang for the 3rd striker spot.

looks decent
Good shout actually! I might wait a week though with Chelsea next! Although Sarr has Liverpool anyway…
Sarr was MOTM the last time he played Liverpool and Watford could have a new manager bounce. Not saying bet your house on a repeat but you wouldn’t know… TBH Liverpool will most likely manhandle them.
Maybe you can keep him, but bench vs Liverpool? Then if he do not look good under Raineri then you can sell him for Mbeumo who got nice fixtures.
My current draft on WC is:
Ramsdale
TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo
Salah, Raphinha, Mbuemo, Foden
Antonio, Jimenez, Lukaku
Subs: Foster, Liveromento, Duffy, Brownhill
But I can easily get to:
Ramsdale
TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo
Salah, Raphinha, Mbuemo, Son
Antonio, Hwang, Lukaku
Subs: Foster, Liveromento, Duffy, Brownhill
Thoughts of team 1:
I have plenty money in the bank for flexibility and won't be worried about price alterations either.
It also has Jimenez, who is tried and tested and on pens. His price means I can always swap him to any striker that's not a premium...
Thoughts of team 2:
Son has a lovely set of fixtures coming up soon and he's in that price bracket that is hard to reach without multiple transfers/WC.
Also gets rid of the pep roulette factor.
However, I don't have much money saved and Hwang is so cheap that if I want off him, I'm a bit fecked...
Thoughts???

My current draft is exactly like your second player for player.
But I'm not sure about having both Mbuemo and Hwang as starters. I'd rather have them on bench and go for a city mid gamble as a starter.Any more thoughts? @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Sandikan @RDCR07 @CassiusClaymore @Ali Dia ?
feck... SON JUST WENT UP IN PRICE
Great minds and all that...My current draft is exactly like your second player for player.
I like your current draft. If I don't insist on squeezing Ronaldo in as well I'll probs end up very similar.Any more thoughts? @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Sandikan @RDCR07 @CassiusClaymore @Ali Dia ?
feck... SON JUST WENT UP IN PRICE
Would just go Luiz instead of brownhill as tour cheap mid filler.
Taa cancel rudiger feels a magnificent back 3.
I do currently have a Ronaldo lukaku Hwang combo but still allowing salah taa rudiger but I've had to sacrifice Antonio and cancel. Gambling 5.3m stones gets in soon.
I like the Son move. Foden is so risky I think. Still he got high capacity to explode vs Burnley.
Hwang feels a bit like going for the last goals, but he is cheap and fixtures are ok.
I think Antonio isn't essential going forward... But Ronaldo has difficult fixtures and the PE teacher plays very defensive in the big games so he might not get that many points...
Yeah I think Son could be a great differential but my concern with that draft is how not flexible it is... Hwang being the issue. If he gets dropped/injured/suspended, then I'm screwed...
Toney is 0.8 more so you can maybe free up that money in def. Still it needs two transfers.
If TAA is not fit it helps. Then I think Son make more sense.
I might go Azpi ahead of TAA for a few games (but keep the money in the bank to bring him in as and when needed).
That first point is why I'm against having Son. The team becomes difficult to manoeuvre with him in it.
Yeah, but possibly the Newcastle game can be worth it. Same with Foden vs Burnley though. Then take them out after 2-3 games to free up the money.
Jimenez probably safer, but he still only got one goal. Villa also a tricky game, but maybe no Martinez so should help him.
Son and Hwang over Foden and Jiminez for me.Any more thoughts? @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Sandikan @RDCR07 @CassiusClaymore @Ali Dia ?
feck... SON JUST WENT UP IN PRICE
Son is miles better, still not convinced by Jimenez and Foden = Pep roulette (plus he’s a tw@t)
Anyone else hopping on KdB for a diff? Will probably switch to Son when his fixtures turn but spuds are so unconvincing atm.
When people say Tottenham have a good run coming, yes, they start with Newcastle away, but then it's....
West Ham away
United home
Everton away
It's after that their run starts. But that's 4 game weeks away!

Until they get rid of Nuno I'm wary tbh
All three defenses are bad with scoring potential. The game itself might be hard but from a fantasy/Son perspective its not the worst fixtures to get points from.
