Fantasy Premier League 21/22

[Cutch]

Yeah I have those 4 and Dias but kinda worried about Chilwell as I've transferred him in so he is gonna be benched.

I think youre safe. I don't think Tuchel will bench him in the league much in this form. Livramento first sub is the perfect back up though. I'm actually planning towards the same defence as you but switching Dias for James. 5 seriously attacking defenders there. Strong bench a must though

I understand that but went with double city defense permanent for the whole season. They are the best defense in the league and rarely concede any chances.

Nothing wrong with that either. Dias is a very solid pick, just a bit boring. I think id consider Laporte for the saving but James is more fun as he's capable of a 15-18 pointer

Yeah for sure, but also more of an injury rotation risk so had to balance that. Dias and TAA should be fairly nailed and now Cancelo is also kinda ok. Chilwell seems to be the bigger rotation risk.

 

[DickDastardly]

Best budget keeper up for grabs at the min. Sanchez and Ramsdale probably the best options still. Premium a waste of money

Went with Fernandez. Like the Brentford fixtures.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Is Havertz still popular?

 

[Fabian Keller]

Not imo. Chilwell, TAA and Cancelo should be the dream defence for their attacking upside with Livramento as cover, and another with good fixtures.

thanks. I've done it. watch him in benched now.

On the topic of benches...

It feels a bit wrong to have Livermento sitting there now.

 

[TMDaines]

Even though Chilwell was 90% certain to rise last night, I couldn’t see how to get him into this team right now. Don’t think Dias to Chilwell is worth a transfer, and the lesson I’ve learnt is to let price rises slide by if you aren’t certain.

So for this week:

Foster
TAA James Dias Cancelo
Salah (c) Foden (v) Raphinha
Antonio Toney Vardy

Ramsdale, Mbeumo Brownhill Duffy
£1.3m ITB

Who else is going for Foster over Ramsdale this week? Other Vardy owners I presume?

Probably no need with Chillwell there. Bit of a waste of a transfer to do that.

I’m going Foster over Sanchez, but did the same thing last week and Sanchez ended up with more save points. We’ll probably choose the wrong option either way so I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

I think if I get Chilwell in it is for Duffy as part of a mega back five, as a result of freeing up some more funds elsewhere.

 

[saivet]

Bielsa says that Raphina is likely to be available for Norwich (Firpo and Phillips should also be available).

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Rage transferred out Tierney to Chilwell last night leaving me with this...

Sa (Steer)
Chilwell Rudiger Cancelo (Duffy) (Williams)
Mbuemo Salah (c) Havertz Sarr (Allan)
Ronaldo Antonio Jimenez

Williams, Duffy, Sarr, Ronaldo all need sorting out but not sure this is a week to be taking more hits.

Any obvious quick wins I'm missing?

 

[Vidyoyo]

Any thoughts on Ings? I know Villa aren't the best right now but if they're going to score it'll be him, surely

It's either him or Aboomerang but I don't trust Arsenal generally (can't afford Vardy)

 

[Zoo]

Vardy isn’t yellow flagged anymore so hopefully he’s 100% and ready to go tomorrow.

 

[saivet]

Ben White hasn't trained yet, so a good chance he won't play tomorrow. I have Cancelo, Livra and TAA in my defence so hoping no one gets dropped over the weekend. If White doesn't play then my other defender is Duffy who didn't start last GW and even if he does, he has Liverpool away.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

If Raphinha and Vardy are fit, I'm going to do James to Chilwell today. Toney in next week and Kane in the week after next.

If fit, Mbuemo could end up getting 10pts but is sat on the bench. Hard to know who to drop though.

 

[Sandikan]

If Raphinha and Vardy are fit, I'm going to do James to Chilwell today. Toney in next week and Kane in the week after next.

I'm weighing up Toney in this week looking at his fixtures.

Vardy, Jiminez, Antonio up front as it stands. Probably Jimi is the main to go out of those, and generates enough money to do Vardy to Ronaldo/Kane in future.

 

[Sandikan]

Bielsa says that Raphina is likely to be available for Norwich (Firpo and Phillips should also be available).

Ideal.

 

[TMDaines]

I think these Brentford boys are great choices to be 10th or 11th men in your team, and first sub. There’s better players each week, but for this run of games they are ideal budget choices. People shouldn’t be too worried about benching them.

They're a funny case. I've watched most of their games. Almost every game, they look like scoring on every attack and you'd think that the returns are gonna come any time but I see two issues; 1. They're finishing is pretty rash and lacks composure and 2. their attacks are generally not patient and structured, they are very high tempo and just usually have the ball fired into the box with a hope of someone getting at the end of it. That usually means good underlying numbers but also kinda hit and trial method.

But against the teams in this run of games they should score. Mbeumo if he's fit is a great choice, maybe as good as Raphinha because as long as he's one the pitch he's playing as #9 and getting all the chances.

For me they are ideal for at least the next six and then you re-evaluate. Some weeks both will play, some just Toney will play. I can then focus my transfers elsewhere where there are greater potential gains.

I got that same front 3 but I have enough money to do Vardy to Kane at any point.

Which plan do you think is better?

Plan 1:
GW10 - James to Chilwell
GW11 - Jimenez/Antonio to Toney
GW12 - Vardy to Kane

Plan 2:
GW10 - Nothing
GW11 - Jimenez/Antonio to Toney
GW12 - Vardy to Kane

Actually, after writing this up, I think I've convinced myself into plan 1. I have Mbuemo so Toney can wait another week. I would feel more comfortable with Chilwell over James although the price rises are frustrating...

Why James out? He's just come off a haul and surely plays from here on in?

 

[Moby]

Yeah Toney was on my list but had other flags to deal with.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Why James out? He's just come off a haul and surely plays from here on in?

Because:

- I don't think he will start as much as Chilwell
- If James doesn't start, he tends to come on (Chilwell doesn't).
- Chilwell on corners
- James more likely to get assists whilst Chilwell more likely to get goals
- Chilwell price will rise faster as he's the flavour of the moment.

I guess I'm clutching at straws? But I have the money and the flexibility to do it... Either do that or nothing this week.

 

[RedDevil@84]

This is for my draft. Whom to pick, James or Alonso for this GW?

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Surely James is more likely to start than Alonso?

 

[VeevaVee]

Cancelo or Rudiger?

 

[Cutch]

Was listening to one of them Fantasy Football Scout felllas thats a Chelsea hardcore and he's convinced Tuchel for some reason doesnt quite rate Reece James. Hence his pursuit of Hakimi in the summer and often benching him in big games. Also worth noting Tuchel has brought James on as sub 8-9 times since he took over but Chilwell only 0-1 (can't mind which). James good for the 1 pointers but Chilwell shouldn't be (which allows Livramento to come on for most)

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

So Chilwell in feels like a must. Although how to free up the money?

Sarr to Mbeumo was my plan, but his injury is a problem. Dennis is also suspended annoyingly so my bench is only 2 players.

I think if I go Mbeumo and he is out I risk having 10 players or worse if Cancelo gets rested which I think is likely.

 

[Cutch]

Ramsdale (Foster)
Dias Cancelo Rudiger Christensen (Livramento)
Salah Son Foden Raphinha (Luiz)
Antonio Toney (Jiminez)

Grealish to Foden already made. Am I crazy for considering a -4 as I want Dias -> TAA and Rudiger -> Chilwell asap for the attacking potential, and so I'd have to take a hit this week or next as I don't want another 2 gameweeks of sitting sweating through either of them bombarding the goal.

After that I'm planning on Broja in for Jiminez to get cash for another 3 upgrades. Thinking then Luiz -> Smith Rowe/Mbuemo, Raphinha -> Mount and maybe Christensen -> James despite what I wrote in my last post.

Long term plan

Ramsdale (Foster)
TAA Cancelo Chilwell James Livramento
Salah Son Foden Mount Smith-Rowe
Antonio Toney Broja

 

[TMDaines]

Somehow overlooked that James started midweek for Chelsea. Don’t think he will start this weekend now. If I had noticed that, I would have sold him for Chilwell for £0.1m less.

Yep. Then be glad of a bit of pep roulette that takes the decision out of your hands and gives Livra and Hwang a game anyway

Haha no I had Azpi who I chucked out for Ben. Yeah that's my plan but my big dilemma is Mbeumo vs Hwang.

Livra Legend is inevitable.

It's a pick 'em with those two. If Mbuemo is fit, then I'd go for him. Has the easier fixture.

 

[Sarni]

Tasty looking team this week except for goalkeeper:

Sanchez
Henry TAA Rudiger
Salah Raphinha Havertz Foden
Vardy Toney Jimenez

Bench: Livramento, Gallagher, Tomiyasu

Brought Rico Henry in for Ayling, squad is pretty much packed. I want to bring in Son for Havertz in two weeks so will have to release Jimenez to open up funds most likely - or Vardy.
