Bailey out for sure. Thinking of Josh Dasilva great value at £4.5m and has decent fixtures
I’ve just been tinkering with my FT’s and have looked at the same option and I’d rather not spend the 10m on Sterling. I don’t think he’s worth it.
I’d rather have an 8.0m (Mount over Sterling for me) or even one of the cheaper players. No great harm carrying 1-2m in the bank.
Surprised you’re going Harrison over Rodrigo.
I think I’ll have a fairly settled 10 players and use my FT’s on targeting poor teams. So fairly template plus one changing player to target Forest or Bournemouth (or any team I fancy to lose on that particular weekend). Forest could have conceded a few at the weekend.
edit - I don’t see the value in going without Trent
Also, Perisic has only played 35 mins so far.
I think theres a danger Rodrigo gets dropped for Sisisterra, thats according to a couple of leeds fans I'm in a group with
Sterling has double digit goals for each of the last five seasons, 20+ goal involvements, hes been priced at 12m, I just think there could be massive value there and I think if both him and Mount are going well then theres no comparison, Sterling is easily 2m better value. Sterling is a captaincy option this week and GW7 v Fulham
Losing trent is massive but are you confident that he keeps 15-20 clean sheets this season, they're not looking like it so far. People say you're not buying trent for the clean sheets but at the same time you're expecting 15 as a baseline. Looking at James v Trent for the next 10 I expect Chelsea to have more cleans
I've actually hit the WC button as well, and likewise have dumped TAA. Sure I could be wrong on that but over the next 9 games, between playing 3rd/4th CB and having City, Chelsea and Arsenal I feel they may struggle for CS. I
Team is similarly enough to what I've gone for, I prefer Rodrigo over Harrisson, with Bamford injured again, and Rodrigo scoring 3 in 2 games, I think he will start further forward and Leeds are an attacking team.
Arsenal/Brentford both have a great run of fixtures so potential for some CS.
Do you think Cancelo + Sterling will outscore say CuCu + KDB?
If your looking at 8m players - Diaz/Maddison are both showing good form. Alternatively getting Toney as 3rd Striker, as I said Brentford have great fixtures and
Finally - all this talk of Chelsea buying Gordon from Everton for 50m - whose spot would he be taking?
Just on your Sterling comment - he was playing in a team that were scoring 25/30 goals more than Chelsea the last few seasons, and that doesn't count the chances created, Are Chelsea going to be creating that many for him now?
Need a replacement for Darwin ...have 1FT and 1mil ITB...
Toney or vardy stick out but already mbemo
You’re an aggressive player so you’ll do what you do.
Trent is nailed on to start and that’s a big plus over some of the other options. Going from previous seasons he should score 180+
Mount is still only 23 and has improved his output for every year he has played.
I’d no idea Rodrigo was a rotation risk so that’s good to know.
Liverpool haven’t kept a clean sheet so far but you’d expect them to go on a run but yes they do look vulnerable to conceding even when they are steamrolling teams but I think Trent is the best value in the game at the prices.
Also, we should never overlook the importance of individual players to any team so if Kante is missing for a few games will Chelsea be more likely to concede ?
I am very close to selling Robertson to James or Trippier though. I might wait til GW 6 for the latter and also wait to see if Tuchel will just work it out and leave James as the RWB which is clearly his best position.
Welbeck maybe. Decent fixtures and he and BHA are playing well.
Bamford is back in training this week apparently. Its probably stubbornness on my behalf to stick with Harrison.
It came down to Zinchenko v Walker for the 5m spot, both have great fixtures, I think one City defender does nothing for you, you need the two to really benefit. Janssen is a great pick IMO
Yes I think Cancelo + Sterling outscore Cucu and KDB, is Cucu even a starter? Theres a lot of talk about Chilwells mental health but he started GW1 so its hard to know what hes fit for.
Can't see Gordon being a starter for Chelsea but Ronaldo would really scupper plans.
I love Maddison but its GW9 before I'd be getting him in but I also love Sterling as an FPL asset, had him C the day Antonio got his four goals, one of my best FPL days. I get what your saying about him not getting the same number of chances as he did at City but Chelsea scored more than Arsenal or Spurs last year and we double up on their attack
Will Trent or Cancelo score more over the next 10? I can have either currently
How would you rank, or which combination would you have, assuming you can have one of the top group and two from the bottom
Trent
Robbo
Cancelo
Ake
Walker
James
Zinchenko
FWIW I have Perisic as a lock in my team and I'm selling Trippier, fixtures are just tricky for the next 3-5 GWs
Toney is definitely another option I'm looking at, not sure I love the structure but it would allow me go to Mitro if I wanted
I came on here to see if anyone was thinking of using the wildcard. Seems to be a couple so maybe I’m not mad. Feel I need to make 5/6 changes quick before my mini league starts to get away from me.
Am now rocking a 5-2-3...there's a first time for everything!
My team is pretty solid so far. Have 2 transfers. I'll probably just bench Trippier for the tougher games instead of selling him. I think my priority is dumping Bailey and get in someone who rotates decently with Trippier.
Sanchez, Ward
Trent, Cancelo, James, Trippier, Gabriel
Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Bailey, Andreas
Haaland, Jesus, Archer
On current form and fixtures, and following your choices given, I’d have Cancelo from the first group with Walker and Zinchenko from the second group. I value the certainty of starts when it comes to James v Zinchenko.
I agree with Perisic being a lock and I understand you’re only looking at the next 10 games.
Yea I wasn’t planning on doing it but between price rises and form felt need to play it -
Interesting that you'd have Zinchenko over James
It’s tough.
Trent, Cancelo, Perisic, Robertson, James, Zinchenko, Trippier, Walker and, to a lesser extent, Chilwell and Cucurella are all possible premium long term holds.
I’m trying to pull back on my time spent playing FPL this season so when possible I’ll go with the safer pick. Safer meaning more likely to start. It’s why I started with Robertson and Trent.
edit - it’s also why I should have just started with Trippier and Zinchenko.
I dunno weather to make one or two transfers or go bold and play the wildcard!
My team atm is this.
Ward
Trent, Cancelo, James, Robertson
Bailey, Salah, Mount, Martinelli
Haaland, Jesus
Iversen, Andreas, Williams, Archer
Nothing in the bank and 1 free transfer for this week.
I am looking at getting rid of Bailey first and foremost but the only real options that look in any kind of form are one of the Brentford lads more than like Da Silva.
If I leave it at that I am giving the likes of Mount Robertson and Ward another week maybe two otherwise I have to do something.
This season is already starting to look like prices are gonna go up and down at the drop of a hat and the longer you leave certain moves your fucked!
Really I don't want to play the wildcard just yet but if I taught I could get ahead of the crowd and avoid missing out in a week or two I dunno maybe its the right option or should I just take Bailey out this week and maybe one more say Ward at the most?
I wouldnt be playing a WC with that team
Yeah the thinking behind the wildcard was maybe I could just get it over with on certain moves but I do feel a lot of these players have good fixtures and could and should come good well hopefully! ha
The main two I'm looking at is Iverson and Bailey for maybe Sanchez/Raya and Da Silva for a -4.
Or I could give Ward one more week as a starter and just make the one change.
Decided to wildcard and on this:
Ramsdale
TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic, Cucurella
Salah, Martinelli, Kulusevski
Ward, Pereira, Lavia, Archer
Could switch the below players:
Ramsdale to Mendy
Cucurella to Zinchenco
Kulusevski to Diaz
I would not wildcard this team for only 3 transfers, as I would take the FT plus -8 and I would only wildcard my team for 5 - 6 transfers minimum.
Sorry I wasn’t clear. I transferred into the team mentioned and the three changes were suggestions on the changes I already made.
ok no problem
Saka owners - what are ye doing?
I’m sickened I went with him over Martinelli. It’s looking like he might fall in price too. That really leaves it difficult for me to switch him to another 8m mid if needed, and if his prices goes down to 7.9.
I could do Saka to Martinelli but it could easily back fire and it’s a little boring.
I could punt and bring in Mount or Maddison now.
I could just hold him and hope for the best.
I’m thinking of the last option for now...
Planning to sell for Kulu this week as have the funds in the bank. If I didnt have Martinelli already I'd do that transfer and use the funds elsewhere as needed
This week I'm looking at
Raya
N. Williams Cancelo James Zinchenko
Salah Martinelli Neto ASM
Jesus Haaland
Alisson TAA Greenwood Andreas on the bench.
I'm thinking no transfer this week, maybe swap ASM out for TAA, who hasn't been doing much so far at all.
This is all kinds of wrong.
I know Liverpool defence has been shakey but it seems crazy to me to bench Trent and Alison against United.
Thats not the 11 I’d pick from your squad. Id suggest it isn’t the 11 anyone else would pick either! Trent on the bench is madness to be honest.
