Anderson such a good cheapo

Is it worth getting Semenyo and trying not to make a transfer for as long as possible? if you have three Man City players already?

Hell no? They have to work him in the team. And it’s like if he starts, one of your other players would be benched. If he went To Liverpool it would be a different story.
bees393
Nope…wait and see how he fits in and how he does first.
Terminators
Well me playing 343 and 352 hasn’t been working so I may as well go 541, this is going to be my team next GW!

Haha. Main thing with you is you are a little too impatient.
But it’s how you like to play the game. Also a lot of risks and hits which can pay off but can also really work against you. I’ve been on both sides. Was really hard for me not to use ft’s and even taking hits before the start of the gameweek. But I managed. Hope it pays off. Now I have two free transfers I can use for the games in 10 days.
As for systems. Think the main consensus is that 3-5-2 was best before Ekitike injury. I’m still on 3-4-3 but I’m trying to get to 3-5-2. I really like the midfielders and defenders because of defensive contributions.
Raziel
You got one big benching headache. Fck, you have thr perfect team, almost.
Reg83
No idea why City even want him.. probably like grealish, he ll just sit on the bench, make some starts like doku and will be hit and miss. This is one thing i don’t like about football. Rich teams grabbing best player of a mid table or lower table team. Unlike t20 leagues in cricket, where everyone has an equal amt to spend and an auction or draft system and all teams are more or less equal in paper.

A -4 with £100k ITB.
Cunha had to go, no manager and Bruno.F back, Enzo has some good fixtures coming better with Palmer back.
Bowen is West Ham’s main man, but no manager, it’s over now, Thiago has up/down fixtures so i’ll rotate.
Nallo doesn’t play in the Premier League, Muñoz is back!

Why munoz? What if he takes longer to recover. Also palace have lost all form. What if guehi goes to man city now? Are u playing bench boost next week?
Terminators
I have switched to a defensive set-up now, I’m fed up of attackers not performing .
Munoz is the next best defender I can get in for DefCon, He’s been posting videos on his Instagram of him running about, and going on runs, so yes he’s not match fit but there’s a two week break now and also Palace will have the players returning from AFCON and they have a better run of fixtures as well.
He’s replaced a player that doesn’t play so it doesn’t make that much difference, and I have enough cover on the bench.
I have not had a very good FPL over Christmas and yeah it is a bit of a rage move but, Thaigo is surely an improvement over Bowen, and Cunha has been disappointing to say the least with Bruno F back Cunha will have less potential and they have a bit of a tough run of games, Enzo is a bit hit and miss, but he’s much better when Palmer is playing and they have some good fixtures coming.
Raziel
Next game is in ten days Terms.
Reg83
Yeah. I also didn’t have a good run in this festive period. 4 reds in a row. Reason i wc last week. Have 3 ft now to sort out more issues.
ODT
Being stateside and not really up on my British press, is this sort of thing “tabloidish” or do y’all (FPL managers, not necesarrily you all here) take these sorts of articles seriously? Genuinly curious.

Yeah pretty ‘respectable ‘ tabloid reporting, but a crappy paper nonetheless. They never say anything really surprising, but tend to jazz it up a bit. I couldn’t tell you , but usually they don’t the same risks with the truth that The Sun & co. do, so it may well be true.
AJW
….take the same risks…
Sorry. 😉
