Wishful thinking on your part I think. He's always raving about Cech in post match interviews so it's a wait and see for me.

This is usually pretty good advice where there is nothing urgent wrong and no move that's grabbing you.

Have 2 FT’s but I think I’ve come up with a plan.

About 3 weeks late doing it but hey ho.

Although it involves selling Ramsey whom I’ve only got in 2 weeks ago but I’ve a feeling Iwobi will start to eat into his minutes. Could be a huge mistake prior to his Fulham game though.

What's the plan?

Ah 2FTs. Nice position to be in if you cant see a move. Gives a chance to do a relatively sideways move that you might not do otherwise.

Palace fixtures about to go horrible. Consider Hennessey out to Ryan, Patricio or Fabianski. RMT predicts they all outscore Hennessey over the next 6 gameweeks Ryan (3.61pts), Patricio (3.36pts) and Fab (2.72pts). Ryan's fixtures look especially nice and particularly from GW12.

Keeper switches are tough to fit in at the best of times unless you have a WC, with yours gone this is an ideal chance.

Can still hold the second FT then

Ryan is less than a thousand transfers from a price drop while Hennessey is approaching a rise, a good performance this weekend should tip him over. Wait until after this weekend to bring in Ryan for Hennessey and you could be 0.2 better off. I will be doing something similar.

I am between banking and playing fraser away to Watford
Or selling Townsend for Knockaert and benching Fraser

An extra FT after int break would be handy but I have to move Townsend on either way ......
I’ll have enough for cook to Mendy after as well

Ryan been hanging on grimly for a while now. He isnt even in the bottom 10 at the moment. The Friday night deadline (ssssh) might save him this week.

Cartman78 · 04-10-2018 11:34am

Anyone else thinking of not boarding the Kane Train?

Listening to a couple of podcasts and read a few articles this week and I'm not convinced either way yet.

Haven't seen a lot of Spurs this season but saw a bit of Kane at the World Cup and he looked wrecked imho; saw a bit of the Huddersfield match and he still wasn't great.....but 2 goals from 3 shot all the same.

And...heard a bit of the BBC 5 Live commentary last night and they said that Kane looked much fresher, sharper against Barca than he had in recent games.

But....Spurs have relatively poor fixtures after Cardiff, and any move I make for him will involve getting rid of Aguero.

Have 2FT's so the likely move would be Shaw to 4.0M fodder and Aguero to Kane.

I am not, I have two free transfers but i like the shape and distribution of funds in my team too much to change it.

The only way I would consider it is Salah out, but I dont know if I am committed to Salah over Mane

Im not boarding now felt last week was the time to do it to get the 2 easy games in.

Just out of interest what podcasts do you listen to?

Theboinkmaster · 04-10-2018 11:52am

I have 2 transfers but I think I'm happy enough with my team, other than my keeper:

Foster (hamer)
Alonso, Robertson, wan-b, Holebas (Bennett)
Salah, D Silva, Hazard, richarlison (gunnarsson)
Aguero, Ings (Wilson)

Was thinking of downgrading silva to Maddison and upgrading holebas to trippier but might be chasing points? Don't want Kane and silva scored midweek so if he plays then he might do well.

Don't have funds to do Wilson->mitro.

So was thinking team is in OK shape, just change keeper and bank 2nd transfer?

Have 0.1m in bank so could do:

Foster-hart

or

Foster-patricio

Was also thinking Ederson but don't have the extra 1.2m.

Any advice?

As outlined above I'd also consider Ryan for that GK swap. Especially as you have Wolves defence in there plus their fixtures are toughening

Again, not a good transfer for this week as he could drop in value in the next week.

Tried a few lately but am leaning towards The FPL General one (The 59th Minute) and 3 Amigos FPL Show as regular listens.

I'll probably go with Kane in the end anyway and end up a foddery non playing 5th defender.

Gave the three amigos one a whirl, but couldn't stand it. The $hite talk about giroud's looks was the final straw

the whole year inn · 04-10-2018 1:10pm

Im probably the only one with Pogba.Thought he could redeem himself and hes on Penos but hes been a failure.
Begovic
Alonso Shaw Robertson Wan Bis Simpson
Have Richarlison Hazard Frasier Mane Pogba
Aguero Giroud Long

Im sticking with Aguero and can down grade Long for an extra .3 .Any ideas Moura Ozil Madisson all possibilitrs are do I just wait and see if Pogs can deliver at home to Newcastle.

Father Hernandez · 04-10-2018 1:17pm

Toying with all sorts of ideas here

A) Ricky & Aguero out, Knockaert & Kane in

Salah & Zaha out, Bilva & Kane in

Both for a -4

Would Hart or Patricio not be better than Ryan? Ryan seems like sideways move from Foster.

I'm not sure I'd get rid of Aguero or Salah for Kane yet, especially for a -4.

Good run of fixtures coming up

I am not convinced it will make a difference or that schedule makes a massive difference for budget keepers. They are almost more likely to get save points vs the better teams

Other option is Mane & Zaha out, Kane & 4.7 mid in

Afraid to go Kaneless & no other (C) options

ThunbergsAreGo · 04-10-2018 1:31pm

I have two free transfers and am struggling to make a transfer

A good wildcard two weeks ago means i have value tied up in almost everyone but Salah

that might be the way to go, what would your team be then?

Looking at

Ederson,

Trippier, Robbo, Kabasele, AWB (Peltier)

Salah, Maddison, Ricky, Lucas Moura (4.7 max fodder)

Aguero, Kane (Zohore)

Current team is

Ederson,

Trippier, Robbo, Kabasele, (AWB Peltier)

Salah, Maddison, Ricky, Lucas Moura, Mane

Aguero, Zaha (Zohore)

I'd rather not but not wasting a -4 getting rid of one fodder for another. Will sort that on WC

Above are 2 transfers, not WC

Do you have a wildcard plan as to when you will play it?

dahat · 04-10-2018 2:39pm

Last GW i bottled on Aguero to Kane for a captaincy switch (temp) but just about got away with it. This GW i have the same dilemma but will cost me a -4.

A single Kane haul could hurt me in mini leagues so do i stick or twist this week?

Benimar · 04-10-2018 3:46pm

Have 2FTs and want to hold Salah and Aguero, so the Kane switch is out.

Looking at David Silva and Ward to Maddison and Knockaert (bench Ings) OR Silva and Ings to Maddison and Arnautovic.

Id consider doing silva to son and keep the 2nd ft. Might protect against any damage kane does.

Thanks, I like the sound of that move.

dsmythy · 04-10-2018 5:22pm

Anyone else have Pedro?

I'm going to keep him if tonight's lineup involves Willian starting and Pedro being available on the bench but not coming on for long or at all. Considering the opposition though anyone could end up playing so might have to sell him.

Agree with all those taking an interest in Knockaert. Has that bit of form and good fixtures. Stats ok but for his price good enough.

extra gravy · 04-10-2018 6:22pm

Arnie or Mitrovic this week? Favouring Mitro, his next two fixtures are better and could do Zaha to Arnie in GW10 then.

COH · 04-10-2018 6:29pm

Used 2FT and went Mendy > Holebas and Ings > Arnie. I like the look of Watfords fixtures and Arnie seems great value even though I missed his rise.

Will get Mendy back in after the int. break if he looks like becoming a regular again

Holebas could be banned by then anyway .......

mickmackmcgoo · 04-10-2018 8:45pm

Struggling to pick a team. Have one ft. Wildcard used in week 2. Have 3 Liverpool. 3 city. 3 palace . 2 wolves and 2 Arsenal . Should I be using the Free Hit or will I regret that later on ?

alchemist33 · 04-10-2018 8:57pm

It was aguero to kane or salah/mane to hazard for me. Hazard's fixtures, mid-week rests, form and the fact Aguero is doing well swung it for me. Hazard in for Mane and captained.

Would help to post your full team but I'm almost certain you'll be advised to hold it.

I see no issue having 5 players in the Wolves v Palace game if they are mostly defenders. Think it'll be low scoring.

Ederson Patricio
TAA Van Dijk AWB Monreal Daniels
Salah. D Silva. Jorgino. Ramsey. MacArthur
Lukaku. Aguero . Zaha

Any money in the bank?
Daniels needs to go as he isn't playing.

Femenia or Zabaleta are good options at 4.3m
Jorgino could also go. Maybe to Will Hughes.

Other than that I'd bench TAA and McArthur.

Edit: I only see 1 Wolves player?

Maybe bank this week and then downgrade Lukaku to Arnie/Mitro and use the cash to upgrade Jorginho/MacArthur or Daniels over the next few weeks. Something like:

Lukaku to Arnie
Daniels to Mendy
Jorginho to Maddison
