Hey guys,
Pretty horrid Saturday of FPL footy for me. On 30 points with Davies, Willian, Alli, KDB and Jesus to play. I’ve got 0 ITB and 2FT.
Option 1 – Willian & firmino (rotation risk with euro game & tough fixtures – I know they ‘usually’ do well but they may not) to chica & pogba
Option 2 – JWP & firmino to 7m mid & chica? A few option in that price range but don’t who yet…
Any other suggestion?
Team below for reference. Cheers
Lewis
I like the idea of bringing Pogba (or Mkhitaryan) in. But i would hold on to Firmino in truth. So unless you did Willian and JWP out to Pogba and Chalobah or similar?
Hi GP,
I could something similar to that. Why would you been so keen to keep firmino? I personally can see him playing against hoff meaning he’s started every game so far and then being benched whilst sturridge starts against arsenal?
The fact that he is a very food player to begin with. He is also on penalties going on what we’ve seen so far.
Hey Guys, these are the moves i am pondering on over next few GW”s.
Willian, KDB, Kane to Pogba, Erickson and Kun
Erickson and Kun swop frees up some cash
Charl
I think i would give KDB and Kane a bit longer before they are moved out.
Three very good players coming in of course but KDB and Kane could easily be must-haves again themselves after a couple of decent games.
Kane and KDB are going to do something soon surely
Well they’ve only played one so they get a few more chances for me.
100%, they not immediate needs to be removed. I think my team looks fine, just have to find a way for Pogba, and that is either Salah or Willian route
I think your team looks good
I get it charl.
I think Willian would be my preferred route.
Okay guys throw some FPL League Codes towards me (Regular League Code in particular). Hoping to be regular here for the entire season, unlike last year.
Welcome back mate been a while I know Raz has missed you
I miss kicking his butt in rankings every GW.
Hey B.
Excellent to hear from you. Are you well?
The regulars league code (displayed at the top here) is 1503-553
Thanks GP. Has been a tough last year due to studies, accomodation and work. But everything’s good now and I’m back!
And everything’s good because you’re back!
Welcome back B good to see you mate
Morning lads. Just catching up on MOTD; Jese looks great value at 6 mill. Fixtures are 1 good 1 bad for the next 6 weeks though hmmm.
Yeah easier games are away though so not sure
Maybe wait and see then. You got many playing today Smash?
I’ve got Ritchie, Ince, Davies and Kane today with Jesus and KDB tomorrow. I’m really starting to need points though as really struggling
I watched that myself last night Milburn.
I expected him to be classified as striker so at 6.0 in midfield, it certainly peaked my interest.
Did you see the Southampton game? Couldn’t believe how quick Gabbiadini was in running on to the first goal! Lightning.
Yeah Gabbi has bags of potential but I’m still scorned off him at the back end of last season. It’s hard not to hold grudges in this game but it’ll be even harder not to get him in if he continues scoring.
Gabby looked really good yesterday. Austin is still in the background
I agree smash.
I think Gabbiadini starts most league games.
Also interested to hear any stats/theories on the “magic trio” dilemma — is it prudent to:
(1) pick three players from the same team;
2) if, so, which combo (3 attack or 2 attack+def/gk); and
3) how many trios is too many?!?
Re/
1) {Lukaku/Mikhi/Pogba/deGea};
2) {Kane/Eriksen/Alli/Davies/Lloris};
3) {Firmino/Mane/Salah};
4) {Man City)
5) add a West Brom and perhaps a Southampton defender/gk
I feel these players will form the backbone of the template team this season…
Sanchez
I don’t mind tripling at all and United look primed just now so option 1 there night be something I’ll have next weekend. I have DDG and Lukaku just now.
I wouldn’t triple up twice as that’s more than half of your playing team depending entirely on two results so that’s an unnecessary risk I think.
My next choice would be City I think.
GP – Yeah, right? I agree. I guess budget constraints will come in to play too…. And there’d be a quite a few successful template teams esp. w/ so many promising attacking options this season.
FYI, top fpl scorer so far has kept the same team from the start (no transfers):
de Gea
Hegazi / Davies / Cedric / Fuchs (/ G. Johnson)
Mane / Eriksen / Pogba / Salah (/Kante)
Lukaku / Firmino (/ Quaner)
That’s a good squad.
Remember the Fuchs/Mahrez/Vardy trio?
I like the look of Jones/Pogba/Lukaku.
Yeah, for sure, B!
Ive got Lukaku,Mikki and Jones and am considering Ali or Erikson to go with Kane and Davies.Tripling up on 2 teams does seem a bit much but if they have the form and fixtures I don’t see why not.
Bookyboy — defo tempting! So you reckon tripling up w/ 1FW, 1MF and 1DF is the way to go with e.g. United (as opposed to 1FW + 2Mids)? I’m torn especially with Mikki and Pogba’s prices/value… Wanna go Lukaku/Mikki/Pogba.
*Brookyboy

If you were to WC now who would be in your team? Asking for a friend who does stupid shit when he’s drunk! 😉
Not going to care about cash restrictions, and will just put in the essential players:
Foster
Jones, Stephens, Davies
Mane, Pogba
Lukaku, Kane
That sounds about right. Trippier instead of Davies if he’s back today
Not too clear on the third striking spot at the moment. I like the look of Jesus, but Morata is auditioning this GW for that place as well.
Pogba over Miki?
Both Pogba and Mkhitaryan is great atm, but i think Pogba is a more likley to take freekicks and a bigger threat at set pieces ( at the end of corners and such).
But i might be wrong
So your on a wildcard
Yes mate
How’s it looking?
Got quite a few choices but I’m liking these at the minute
Saying that I do like this
My friend Mitro, i don t think you fooled anyone….
Three man u, one of them defender, make your pick(valencia or baily or jones), plus the must lukaku, the other miki or pogba, one more budget or medium defender( saints or wba,foster too) one more premium def from spurs or city, up front one pool( no more) i d choose firminio, never rotation danger on pens two, in midfield, bargains, philips, ince, gro?, or even tadic and willian.Up front one more attacker of city, kevin in middle or jesus as striker.
Pretty much this is the backbone of a wildcard right now for the first 7-8 gw.
Hahahahahahahahaha
In 3 weeks time you will probably wish you still had that wc !!
I’ll be saying it next week mate 😉
As of now, it has to be Pogba/Mhki, Lukaku, Bailey, Erik/Alli, Hegazi, Trippier, Mane/Salah, Aguero/Jesus.. A lot can change after tonight’s game though and tomorrow too.
Should be a fun week ahead then on here 😉
Did you get my annual leave request Init? :hippo:
Just drawing straws now for who is to be his carer for the week
Carer? Lol
😉
