    He dropped the fella that was playing great when Tierney came back from injury.

    VVD hasn't had a positive PCR test, yet, so is not definitely out. But I would put it at >95% out. Fabinho too. Which would affect Liverpool CS capabilities.

    Tavares, he played well overall but made a couple of defensive errors that led to goals. Tierney is better defensively and going forward.

    I think it’s between Laca, Martinelli, ESR, Odegard & Saka for four spots. He’s playing very well by all accounts. I think the fact he can cover Laca means even if he doesn’t start he comes on for 15-20 minutes every game

    I’m considering Bilva -> Foden for a -4. KDB seems to have pushed Bilva back the pitch and if Foden starts and Bilva doesn’t on Sunday it’s a -2

    Alternatively if Bilva starts and Foden is rested it’s a -6 minimum but who wants to hear that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,062 ✭✭✭macraignil


    Need to take a -8 if I want to have 11 potentially playing(including Bernardo Silva) so thinking of Begovic, Livramento and Gilmour to Ramsdale, Targett and Saka if their games are still scheduled to be on tomorrow morning. Just using my free transfer might only bring me up to 9 playing so thinking it is worth the hit this week and better options in the squad going forward may be worth points down the line as well. Any opinions appreciated.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Ye thinking Ronaldo and townzend to mount and laca/ Watkins, feel I'd move either forward on again in a few weeks, worst year of fwds ever



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,062 ✭✭✭macraignil


    Brought in Mount and Watkins recently to my own team and they have done well so far but with postponements arriving at such short notice it seems any moves are a bit of a lottery.

    Took a -4 to have 11. Two players I was planning to get rid of so don't mind the hit so much.

    Brought in Watkins who seems to be hitting form and Cancelo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,832 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha



    Im considering the same Bliva to Foden move, all the xG stats are heavily in Fodens favour and as you say the return of KdB pushes Bliva deeper. I can just do it direct as I have money itb but also thinking of selling Livra and for either Targett or Cash for a -4 so I can get 11 on the pitch. I have to play 5-4-1 this week and Livra seems done as an FPL asset while the Villa defence looks alright now. Theyve got Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds and Brentford so could bench Cash or Targett v Chelsea but play in the rest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭greedygoblin


    Right now i have 9 starters for this gameweek with 2FTs. Bilva is one of my starters so I might chance switching him for Foden like a lot of others. Will likely be bringing in Cancelo & Watkins for Livra & Vardy, so the Bilva/Foden transfer will be for a hit.

    Will wait til the deadline before making those moves even though Foden & Watkins look like going up tonight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,139 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Some of the players I want rising tonight. Need a -12 for 11 players. Think I'll just stomach the 0.2 or 0.3 and wait until tomorrow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,832 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Just looking at FPL stats there and not only is Foden likely to go up Bernardo is likely to go down so a 0.2m swing. Think Ill risk it and do it tonight to avoid the price swing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,690 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    That was actually the exact example they used talking about it. Tierney was ready a month earlier, but spent 4 games on the bench because Tavares was playing well. It was only after he made some mistakes against United that he was dropped.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,905 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Tierney is an exception IMO, hes clearly No. 1 in his position. Doesn't mean Martinelli won't get dropped though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,487 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Currently have Pukki, Antonio and Dennis - not one of them playing this weekend. 1.9 ITB.

    I have just the right amount to go Pukki to Watkins

    With Watkins going up, is it worth the risk? Won't be able to afford him tomorrow.

    Jesus, Lacazette, Wilson don't really interest me and I've no forwards otherwise in this shítshow of a GW.

    Heart says go for the transfer, head says not to risk it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭greedygoblin


    Bilva is available to play going by Pep, so there is still the risk of Bilva outscoring Foden...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,402 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Saka & Tierney in

    Livarmento & Bowen out


    No keeper this week so will just play with 10.

    Currently have 10. No playing GK (Guaita, Foster)

    No forwards (Ronaldo, Dennis, Broja)

    TAA James Alonso Cancelo Walker

    Salah Jota Gallagher Bilva ESR

    Torn between Watkins/Laca for Ronaldo.

    And Rambo in for a playing GK or just roll without one.

    Others have me thinking about Bilva to Foden/KdB now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,699 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Have 10ish I think so might bring in Martinez for Foster



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,753 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    If you have 8 players, am I then right in saying that a -8 hit to bring in 3 players is effectively only a -2pt hit? Let's say each of them get 2pts, so 8pts-6pts=2pts? In that case, it's a good time to bring in players you really want long term, never mind the fact of just fielding 11 this weekend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w


    Have 1 FT thinking of livramento to Tierney...but that still leaves me without a keeper



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,905 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Where’d you see that? Pep had no conference today



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Yeah, thsts how I see it anyway. Assuming they at least the hit tranfers get 2 points then you're only down 2 points. Least you don't have to worry about the player you took out getting any returns



  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Not neccessarily. The following assumes the players you get in don't get a card and aren't a defender or goalkeeper and concede more than 2 goals You're free transfer gets you 2 points so the -8 is still costing you a total of 4 points as you can do that free transfer. However, if one of those players doesn't play for whatever reason (and this week there are plenty of reasons why they might not) then it's still a -4 per player.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    salah & Henderson now both with covid. Still no word of Liverpool game off though.


    Ive a big Lukaku hole burning in my pocket… if I go DeBruyne for Bowen I’ve 6.3 to spend on an attacker. Any suggestions?

    Or what’s the best options for transfers this week
