for example Vardy tends to often overperform his xG (so a low xG maybe should be taken with a pinch of salt). Whereas let's say Firmino and Jesus have underperformed quite badly the last 3 seasons so a high xG for them shouldn't neccessarily have us rushing to get them

Vardy = Good striker
Firmino/Jesus (especially the latter) = Bad strikers.

For me I find shot to goal ratio important, shot location important, touches in the opponent’s box important and also passes to teammates in the opponent’s box.

All of the above are important for Fantasy.

Anyone thinking of triple captaining Vardy this week

sheroman01 · 26-11-2020 2:51pm

1 week punt before WC.

Podence > Mahrez

or

Kane > Jesus?

This will be an interesting week for a Captain Thread. No outstanding candidate (at least among the highly owned players)

Vardy, DCL and Salah will be the standout captains I'm sure?

I'll save that for a sure fire Salah/ Son / Kane Fulham game I think.

Vardy is a great captain choice but it has the potential to backfire moreso than other option over the season. I'd hold.

Warning: triple captaining a player who is expected to score at least a goal or two .... sometimes doesn't work !!

I've 3 options for this week
1 Salah capt , foden , rashford and bank transfer
2 Salah capt, Jota, rashford would be selling foden for Jota.
3 salah, foden and sterling capt would be selling rashford for sterling.
I'm. 1 short on rashford to Kdb.
Any opinions.

I think you have to expect Foden to be benched at this stage despite his good champions league form. Jota is an upgrade anyway even if he does start.

Crap. Does seem like Zaha still unavailable

I've posted this in the dedicated injuries and suspensions thread already. Try and keep injury and suspension related news for there in future man.

Digne out means nkounkou is a punt?

No harm it being in this thread as could affect transfers. Glad it was put in here anyway

Mitchell been sat on my bench could be a nice route to replace him especially with Everton's next 2 games

Kiith · 26-11-2020 4:48pm

Torn on what to do myself. Might take a -4 hit and do a double swap.

Option 1
Take a -4 hit and bring in Bamford for Kane, and Sterling/KDB for Saint Maxim. I'd bring in Salah, but am .2 short

Option 2
No -4 hit, leave Kane in and bring in Jota for Saint Maxim

Not sure i see Kane scoring many in the next few weeks, but he's usually good for assists. So might be worth holding him, and maybe swap him out for Salah next week. Already have Vardy and DCL, so should be sorted up front.

Ginger n Lemon · 26-11-2020 5:45pm

Crunch time.

Son to KDB (and captain KDB or Bruno) (Could end up captaining KDB 2 games in a row, vs Burnley and then Fulham. Rumour has it Pope is injured so KDB appeal rises....)

or

Kane to Vardy (and captain Vardy or Bruno)

or

Zaha to Ziyech, then next GW get in KDB for Bruno and captain KDB v Fulham?

joeyboy11 · 26-11-2020 8:45pm

Was sick of overthinking it so went with the below for a minus 4

Dallas to cancelo
Hamez to Kdb
Kane to Watkins

dsmythy · 26-11-2020 9:30pm

Vardy's xG isnt actually that bad at the moment, even excluding penalties.

Bamford remains the stand out in xG though he has a huge number of shots generally compared to everyone else.

Firmino is unusually high for him at the moment too.

Kane's has plummeted when you exclude penalties. Him and Son both. Could be because of a more defensive approach from Mourinho.

I'm looking to bring in Dallas on a WC. Why are you binning him?

No specific reason tbh. I wanted a city defender for their run and it was a choice between Dallas and KWP. I think KWP is good for some more clean sheets and bonus points than Dallas.
Although Dallas can be played out of position in midfield and get some attacking returns I don’t think they will be significant. I’m happy to just have Bamford from Leeds.

I'd imagine Bamford consistently underperformed on XG most years, he's always seemed to miss a huge number of chances

Bit surprised by this. Mahrez has been awful. He has blanked every gw apart from gw2. Although he didn't play in 3 gws to be fair

You could make exactly the same argument against getting Sterling or KDB.

Who knows whether City will do anything? Maybe their assets will continue to be worthless and Mahrez owners will just have wasted 3m less learning that

laurah591 · 26-11-2020 11:26pm

ok so doing woeful in league and need to catch up on points, using free hit,, and suggestions from the below

Guaita (New Castle)

Berlini (v Wolves)
Furlong (v Sheffield U)
Kyle Walker (v Burnely)

Bruno Fer. (South Ham)
Jota (v Brighton)
Kdb (burnley)
ziyech (tottenham)

Richardson (leeds)
DCL (leeds)
Vardy (c) (fulham)

any suggestions please shout

Chesty08 · 26-11-2020 11:59pm

Have gone with Werner to Vardy. Tempted to go Fernandes to Sterling for hit but could wait another week

Irishphotodesk · 27-11-2020 12:04am

Panic purchased.... Kane to vardy for a hit....I still have Jorginho and zaha in my team which doesn’t inspire confidence in hitting decent points (I think zaha might feature on Friday)

I think you could look at upgrading Ziyech to Sterling with the fixture that is in it, and you on the Free Hit. Looking at the team you have there it feels like there would be more money left in the bank or on the bench and the likes of Bellerin or Richarlison could be downgraded to cheaper options to make up whatever else you need.

Yeah, he won't be tested again until Saturday, he sits on the bench and I hope he doesn't drop further in value, my make or break game is Chelsea/spurs ... I sold Kane for vardy and have 2 Chelsea defenders ... So that game will decide if I do well this week or not.

Dubliner28 · 27-11-2020 10:11am

Kane to Vardy (to cover it) Vardy on pens has hatrick potential and don't want to get left behind

Might try bring in Foden-4 too for Kliich

I've already done Son & Zaha >> KDB & Jota

Have serious Vardy fear and contemplating another -4 to get Kane out. Think I'll hold, seems too kneejerky.

Shedite27 · 27-11-2020 10:41am

I won't be ripping my team up for it, but Vardy as a captain on a Monday Night Football against the worst defence in the league is definitely attractive

Would like Foden but he played 90 midweek so I'd be concerned there

dr.kenneth noisewater · 27-11-2020 11:48am

Really tough decisions this week, probably going to get KDB/Sterling and sell Son and JamRod to fund it but tempted by Vardy in for Kane as well. Feels crazy to sell Son or Kane but they're the only options for upgrades. Makes it easier get Salah back in then as well

Mr.Prodston · 27-11-2020 12:17pm

How does Jimi -> Jesus sound?

I don't have Salah/Liverpool or Vardy or any other City players, and was considering using the WC next week when I've got a bit of time to think about it all! Don't fancy a hit for Vardy considering the probably WC next week.... but Fulham

COH · 27-11-2020 12:19pm

Werner > Vardy (to captain him) worth a -4 anyone? I don't have Salah, or KDB so the only other captain options are Bruno or DCL. I also have 5 players in the Chelsea-Spurs game

(Kane/Son/Chilwell/Ziyech/Werner)

Id consider doing Kane > Vardy instead and captain Vardy at no points cost.

Werner is up against Leeds next GW who will go forward and leave plenty of space behind to exploit, which Werner is very good at.

F1ngers · 27-11-2020 1:01pm

Is Jota a viable option for Zaha?
Have 9.7 to spend and not a lot in that price range is screaming out to me.

I've done it anyway.

He's played himself into the team and given Klopp a serious headache whether to drop Firmino or start both.

Without doubt, he'll be the first attacking player brought on if he doesn't start and could still pick up points in 30 mins or so. Worth the risk IMO.

What's the story with Aguero? If he hasn't traveled to Argentina he could start instead of Jesus

Best 8.8m punt for one week? Jota, Foden, or Mahrez? Could also do Robertson either but prefer a midfielder as there’s a higher ceiling

I've brought in Jota but still concerns over his playing time. Foden and Mahrez are just not guaranteed to start.

What about Leicester defenders, I see Castagne flagged but might be worth a further look? Maybe Cancelo or Ruben Dias, the latter nearly certain to start.

Cartman78 · 27-11-2020 1:31pm

I'm about 83% certain of this move for a hit....

Kane to Vardy
Zaha to Salah

Defence is a bit of a mess....will have to start Taylor

Jim Gazebo · 27-11-2020 1:47pm

I did Zaha to Jota early in the week and took a chance to avoid price changes. All set now.

Ginger n Lemon · 27-11-2020 1:48pm

As money enabler - Nkounkou for Everton at 4m should play plenty of games over next 2 months while Digne is out. They signed him permanently. He did look shi*e vs Newcastle when he did play, but it was his first PL game in fairness and he is 20 years old.

CSF · 27-11-2020 1:50pm

Which way are people looking between Cancelo and Dias? Cancelo with the attacking full back threat but more rotation risk, Dias a set piece threat, and more secure starts but probably a lower total expected attacking return.

Open the Pubs · 27-11-2020 2:11pm

Watkins or Bamford in?

Leaning towards Watkins but concerned I have Grealish also if they blank like against Brighton.

I could be looking for the best 4.2 priced defender as part of a 1 week punt in a -4

This could end in tears or could a hero be born?

Beginning to feel like if I'm selling Jimi then it HAS to be for Vardy! And I could finance that by selling Reece James. I just cannot bring myself to sell Werner, had him since GW1 and I think he's capable of catching fire

There's also Rashford to Jota for -4 after rashly getting him as part of a -4 last week!

Is not having Vardy a madness, even for -4?

I am 99% likely selling Kane for Vardy and captaining Vardy.

The way Fulham play (not just Everton game but in general) is very much about attack attack attack. Even if they decide to park the bus vs Leicester, it will be a first and they ll likely make a mess of it.

I also dont rate Fulhams GK at all, nor any of defenders. There are just too many good fundamental reasons to bring in Vardy even at 4 points cost, and give him the armband.

gammygils · 27-11-2020 2:40pm

Jimi and Costa out for Vardy and Jota for a hit
