DGW 25: Matchday thread: Slot Vs Emery

Emery has the higher ceiling, but a lower probability of reaching that ceiling. You've got to consider that. Looking at odds etc and from a tweets to add some context:

A 2-1 win in Liverpool v Villa:

Emery - 18 points - 10% chance

Slot - 8 points - 70% chance

Factor in your -4 also if move....

30 pointas behind is a small margin, so I personally won't be taking risks at this stage.

I'm rolling on Slot AMC again this week and no transfers.

With Isak DGW now in 32, everyone will want him back and it will cost a bit due to his rises. Factor in future moves if moving him out and cash. If only early cost maybe 0.5 more.

Rogers is my only Villa player. Is it worth doing a -4 to get another in?
Not interested in doing Isak to Watkins so not sure who else is worth the -4. Maybe a defender but not sure.

Kluivert wife given birth yet? Last I've seen is she hasn't, and he's still in hospital with her.

Many have benching headaches this week so he may fix them by default. Just make sure those benches are lined up as you want!

Captain Salah or Watkins…..I'm still switching between both with mins left…!!!!!

Liverpool has tight schedule leading up to this and a game Sun and Wed…Villa have 1 extra day off!

Leaving Slot as ASM does that protect the Captain gamble a bit?

I got Burned on Salah before, but I do like a bit of a risk…..On Watkins for the moment…9mins to change or Pray for a week🙂

Edit Agian…I also have Gakpo and Kluivert (Baby) as a risk, but Gordan on the bench as my only real cover

Well its done now…

I actually forgot to save the team first with Watkin Captain😊, but done it with 2mins to spare😬…..

…ehh maybe that was a sign…Doohh!

If this doesn't work out I will be laying the blame squarely at the lake of replies, in my minutes of need, of the forum here🤗

Wish me luck!!

(Actually, now that I think about I maybe should have gone Rogers as a midfielder…ah well, both are risks anyway)

Sanchez still on bench for Chelsea. Pedro on bench for Brighton.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Veltman, van Hecke, Webster, Lamptey, Baleba, Hinshelwood, Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma, Welbeck

Subs: Rushworth, Cashin, Gruda, Gomez, Ayari, Wieffer, O'Riley, Pedro, Adingra

Chelsea XI: Jörgensen, Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Fernández, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, Nkunku

Subs: Sánchez, Adarabioyo, Anselmino, James, Acheampong, Dewsbury-Hall, Amougou, Sancho, George

Salah another loosing rank captain this week again 207% EO in top 100k.

EO = percentage of managers who started the player + percentage captained + percentage triple captained. This summed percentage gives you an indication of the effect this player has on the average. If a player has EO of 110%, it means every point he scores raises the average by 1.10 points.

The highest EO a player can be is 300%. This week unless you've triple captained Salah, like last week, is a player who will not gain you any rank, only lose you rank.

If you've a player on low EO, 5% etc. You will gain more points on the field. Hence a differential.

Minteh,Welbeck

-8

Watkins C

Potter to Slot, Gakpo to Watkins & Martinelli to Rogers.

Jesus Chelsea are hard to watch, last 3 games struggling to see were palmer points are coming from.....but the min you transfer him out he haul....hopefully some consolation points still tonight.....

Just said the same here, looking at his fixtures. Can't get rid of him. Savage ownership also. But may drop a bit, knee jerking will happen. Chelsea are hard going now looking at this.

Turning this off, Palmer is not getting anything. Chelsea have not had one shot on target!

Ps. Pedro came on! Here comes his one pointer
