Just did Alli to James Rodriguez. Really liked how James played against Spurs the other day and they have a great run of fixtures coming up.

Even considering giving him captain or vice captain against West Brom this weekend

Having him will be enough. Auba and Bruno both still way better options this week.

There's some talk now that Ali will be moving to Real Madrid as part of the deal to bring Bale to Spurs. So this could be a smart move now.

With Spurs also looking to bring in Regulion, it's hard to know what to do with their players now. I want to transfer out one of them, but I might just hold out for this week and go with the 2 FTs next week.

eh i dunno · 15-09-2020 8:03pm

2 goals for haller tonight in the cup

Dubliner28 · 15-09-2020 8:25pm

Son to James Or Bank ???
Have Salah Auba ASM Timo Mitroivic

siblers · 15-09-2020 8:25pm

For any of the Alli owners, he is linked with a swap to Madrid for Gareth Bale

Shedite27 · 15-09-2020 8:26pm

I'm moving tonight to avoid price drops, Son/Havertz - KDB/Klich.

The plan was always to get in KDB, he'll be there for the season now. Can't see me going back to Spurs until I see something better from them, been poor most of 2020. HAving watched last night, Havertz is gonna take a while to settle to the PL. Klich being on penalties and Spurs nice run of fixtures. Could be a .4m swing by the end of the gameweek.

Necronomicon · 15-09-2020 8:46pm

Ings to Martial done. So annoyed at myself for bottling the decision to just have Tony M. and bench him in GW1, because now I have the problems of Alli and Vinagre to deal with too.

Just_Magic · 15-09-2020 9:57pm

Antonio out
DCL in

Jim Gazebo · 15-09-2020 10:14pm

I've gone back and forth but I think sticking is a better option. I'd love Bruno or KDB but I have a decent side. 64 points, with Auba as capt, so it wasn't bad.

Could do digne Doherty but I think that is something for later. Ancelotti started well but finished poorly last year. It's way too early to make any big decisions I think.

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-09-2020 10:41pm

Digne's imminent price rise in the next day or two is annoying. I have 1m in the bank and could do a Davies to Digne switch. I'd need to act fast though. Alternatively, I could do Davies to Saiss and keep the 1m. I'd have to bench Saiss this weekend but that's alright as I have TAA, Dallas and Justin set to play. I want rid of Davies as his position looks under threat.

All of these moves would mean I keep Ings vs Spurs and go without Martial or any United coverage.

15-09-2020 11:07pm

Reckon the people that have City or M United on their bench are in good order now for GW 2.

I’ve made a bit of a mess of setting up for the first 3-6 GW’s so only myself to blame.

City can maybe wait one more week but M United cover definitely needed this GW and maybe more than just 1.

howareyakid · 15-09-2020 11:14pm

Just pulled the trigger on Werner to Martial. I feel the Utd coverage is important and with Werner's more difficult fixture and dead leg, it seemed like a reasonable move.

I had planned to sell Salah but not sure I can now. Would be fierce cutthroat.

I’ll have to keep Antonio another week.

Really wanted to bank and have 2fts for GW3.
But my bench are all non-playing.
Button Douglas Brewster Burke

Got the wrong Leeds def, seen Douglas in some predicted lineups. Shoulda went Struijk.
Not sure what to do. Worth using a transfer? Or hope my 11 play? Thinking the latter.

First team
Johnstone
Robbo KWP Bavies Mitchell
Salah Son Auba ASM
Vardy Werner

Think I'll get 1 more GW out of Mitchell. The rest should hopefully all start again.

Edit: Burke to Reed a possibility

Sideways move. I’d be leaving this. Transfers are precious at this stage

Yeah, I would have liked to have those 20 points at the weekend for certain, but a small consolation is that I don't have a decision to make now. Bruno comes off my bench to try and get my season started a week later than planned.

Sawduck · 16-09-2020 12:26am

Werner to Martial, Werner with an injury playing liverpool is to much of a risk, but it will probably backfire on me like it usually does when i buy man utd players

FPL_Junior · 16-09-2020 12:35am

Really surprised to see the amount of people selling Werner. Liverpool shipped 3 last week and 3 in the game at Anfield last season against Chelsea.

Long term their fixtures are brilliant.

Havertz is the one I’m considering selling, due to his performance. Looked like a passenger a lot of the time.

I wouldn’t have expected that much more from him though. He’s 21 in an attack with Mount and Loftus-Cheek playing rather than Ziyech and Pulisic.

Assuming he beats out Mount when everyone is back, both him and Werner will look much more dangerous playing with those guys.

Your not on the tweet box now coming in here with a name like that!

Also I'd imagine it's a case of looking for united assets and people being happier to keep the tried and tested auba/salah over a new player to the league

Jim Gazebo · 16-09-2020 9:27am

Can't decide whether to go Werner to Martial or stick. I'd have no Chelsea players without Werner but I'm not sure I trust martial either.

darego · 16-09-2020 9:36am

i have 2 ways to go over the next couple of weeks and will end up with either

A) Martial/Son/Rodriguez

Richarlison/Fernandes/Grealish or Zaha

opinions?

It’s only a dead leg. Will be grand by the weekend

chris445 · 16-09-2020 10:01am

Pre-planned transfer Son to Bruno. Had Greenwood on the bench too for United coverage this week (still hopeful he will start but Daniel James actually played well in the Villa friendly at the weekend).

Already thinking next week will likely be PEA to Sterling/KdB with the turn in Arsenal fixtures. At the moment leaning more toward Sterling as a differential with only 4.3 ownership.

Auba is gone next week for me, KDB/Sterling/Bruno in mind but I see no issue in captaining aubameyang this week and seeing how united / city go this weekend. City opening is sticky enough if they are not on their game.

Cheers. It'll be nice having 2FTs for next week. And worst case scenario I miss out on a 1-2 pointer from a 4.5m mid.

How Soon Is Now · 16-09-2020 10:49am

Thinking of banking my transfer this week then depending on what happens Auba and Ings to De Bryune and Martial. I have to pick either the Arsenal man or Salah and although Auba will clearly get goals this season i think Salah has a higher potential.

not a terrible idea - but you may be using it without knowledge of how some teams/players are setting up, for example, burnley, villa, man city, man utd have all not played.

will pogba feature ? will greenwood get gametime ? Foden ? Grealish just signed a contract extension (and scored in carabao cup game) outside of him, who else will be on the villa teamsheet ? who will start for burnley ? - what midfield is pep likely to use ? any update on aguero and his recovery?

Which players/teams have had covid and has it effected their ability to be selected ?

are there any players who are now back due to self isolating period - they could slot straight into a team or be unavailable by choice of the manager ? who has had a rift with the manager ?

Personally I don't think its right to use wildcard just yet - but - if you feel the need to reorganise your team now and are happy to use the new team for the following few game weeks (possibly tweaking a player here and there) ... it might work out for you.

I've made the decision to keep my transfer - it may be a bad decision, considering I had zero points/players on my bench this week, but ... we all play the game we think is best for us.

Open the Pubs · 16-09-2020 4:05pm

I've used my wildcard, even though I done okay this week. Wanted De Bruyne in and a few different switches. I'm quite happy with my team now but by this time next week I probably won't be

Feeling like I will go with a boring enough Vinagre to Ayling.

They did not have a good defensive display but with Cooper to come back and Koch to settle, they are in a good position to improve. Next 2 fixtures are Fulham who have one worthy attacking threat and Sheff United who have none.

At 4.5 I’m more than happy to bench him on the weeks when they play good teams too, which is where I think Leeds will struggle defensively.

Do people think this is totally crazy, or think Dallas is a better option?

Bamford got 62 mins, as an owner with Rodrigo waiting in the wings its not great sign but only 1 game, if it becomes a thing (wilder does this a lot with his strikers) id be passing on both in the future.

Maybe some leeds fans here? might chime in and say if its a thing?

Bielsa loves bamford. Vital for the system they play and bielsa is very slow to change it. It'll be more of the same for the near future in my opinion, bamford starts and Rodrigo around the 70mark.

I think he’s a good pick. He was in my draft til the last minute when I switched him for James Justin purely because of Leicester’s fixtures.
I’ll most likely get him back soon when pereira is back fit and James Justin may lose his place.
The planet fpl Podcast had a week in preseason where They had a correspondent from each club on and the Leeds one recommended Ayling over Dallas

I think that’s a good choice. Werner is the best Chelsea pick and united have good options in midfield in Bruno, Rashford and Greenwood (if no major signing comes in)

Thoughts on a TAA and Soucek to Saiss and Hamez -4?

I'm still torn on it, I have vardy too who I wont want long term, so I'd get Werner back in a couple of weeks after their 2 away games when they have 2 nice home games and hopefully have clicked a bit and giving Werner better service.

Martial was the United player I wanted. Nearly went with him on bench rather than Vardy.

Have you considered James Rodriguez, good fixtures, Hamez played poorly Monday night, seemed to play too deep.

Went Taa -> Gabriel
Son -> Kdb

Fairly sure it has to be used in first 16 gameweeks anyway. There is merit in holding, there is also merit in early use, even if you had a great score week 1.

As Will Ferrell said at the Oscars........."there is no greater weapon in a fantasy football managers arsenal than a strategically placed wildcard".

They are both solid picks i would say. Last season Dallas scored 5, assisted 4. Ayling scored 4 assisted 4. Ayling made 8 less appearances last year. Missed start of season due to ankle surgery.

manual_man · 17-09-2020 12:11am

Hamez = James Rodriguez (JRod already taken). Is that not the shorthand we agreed upon

Lads selling TAA. Really, after one game?
