Only if you wanna have 5 premiums which is a bit much. He's still the best bench option for me and even if not it's not worth a FT. I saw a few with four from City and Chelsea today ending up with nothing.
Fantasy Premier League 21/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I guess we're nearing the stage where Jota becomes essential. Particularly so when he becomes the focal point of the attack after Salah and Mane go off to the AFCON. I'm tempted to take a -4 hit to bring him in with King (in place of Raphinha and Hwang), but Raph does have two decent-looking home games coming up....
His consistency for not blanking is still great. You'd expect him to blank v Liverpool and his points this season are great at that price. He's only 5 points off the 6th best scoring defender.
19 pts all in, in my draft team. I am done for the season in my draft.
55 points for this week, I’ll take it considering no one really did amazingly. Up from 285,000th to 266,000th… slowly climbing every week but way behind the top guys still.
I feel your pain.This GW was pretty much a beat down.
Not making that Foden to Jota move and the Spurs fixture getting postponed. Just absolute mayhem.
With this being my first year back after a decade not playing. I've done mostly terrible. Although my rag-tag team did okay this week with Vardy, Salah, Coady, and Sa' 51 pts
Finally dumped Aubameyang this weekend after blanking 5 weeks in a row. Now watch him get a brace against us next weekend.
Apart from Vardy, anyone from Leicester worth bringing in, in attack?
Oh don't worry he's on the list with a move to Kane or Vardy looking tempting.
Trouble is I will need to deal with Jimenez and Sa soon as well. I don't feel like I've been proactive with a transfer for months. Always putting out an injury fire or something else.
Quick question - would you bring Alonso in for a hit given the starter otherwise is Hwang or Livra?
They've also played pretty shite teams and got trashed the one time they played anyone good. Not saying much given our form but we are surely good enough to score vs them.
I'd play Hwang vs Burnley and get rid after personally.
Yeah Hwang will go sometime later, getting rid of hi isnt a priority as he's usually bench.
Right now it's Chilwell out for Alonso, so was thinking should I take a hit if they bang vs Watford or try riding that out.
Maddison!
6.6m, 16 points this week, and has a great set of fixtures.
Only question is whether he's back up to lasting full games back to back again.
Soton and Villa away are both potentially tight low scoring affairs. Villa looks much better at the back under starfish and Soton have generally been a very solid unit. Newcastle home probably the only real juicy fixture in this run.
Fecking Chilwell went down in price last night, I had it in my head that injured players were protected from price falls for some reason.
My main selection issue now is whether to keep Ronaldo or not…
Missed the price rise on Bernardo, so I’m not going to be able to get him and Gallagher for Raphina and Mbeumo. I think I’ll save the transfer and look again at it again on Friday. Maybe including Hwang for King for a -4 will get me there, but he’s got Burnley now so there isn’t any point yet.
I’m just sick of Mbeumo, despite having a couple of fairly decent fixtures still. His name comes up on my predictive text when I type the letters M and B, that’s how much I’ve been moaning about him on here and WhatsApp groups.

Clearly winning over Mbappe there.
I don't know how you guys still own Mbuemo at this stage. Has to be the most annoying player in the game
I agree, but the poster I answered was asking for the 2nd best option bar Salah
@Dirty Schwein you had any dreams about this? :P
Very surprised you guys didn't pound me this week. Looks like we were all caught with our trousers down.
Not a lot of people got over 60.

You got any salt left?
I take it you did not achieve close to that?No worries with nine men, up to ninth in the Redcafe league!

Chelsea will blank GW24 and GW25. Could blank GW27 too because of FA Cup.
Could have a DGW in 21 or 22 subject to cup progress, but likely to be later in season.
These are the GWs during AFCON so at least Salah gone as well. Potentially 3-4 big hitters gone.
Season has been in easy mode so far.
AFCON is before that and the CWC is straight after, but the prior must be in doubt with Omicron variant.
I think GW24 is before the final, and GW25 less than a week after, so if Egypt reach the final Salah will miss at least 24 and possibly 25.
I finished the GW with 10 players out of which one was Livramento at 0.
Ooof short notice that.
I have him too... There's just always more pressing concerns.

He's going this week though. Gallagher coming in.
Nah, those dreams are only for Jota goals
Well, they did score vs Watford
Pretty sure he'll be parked on my bench throughout Christmas too, ready to save me from a 0-pointer with a much more annoying 0-pointer.

Time for a wildcard
Never seems a hard and fast rule that one does it.
