Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2020-21
International break time always means a Bore Off.
I have gathered three of my esteemed colleagues and have asked them to answer some questions for us as best they can. Please welcome Loud Atlas who is making his debut on Bore Off. Joining him in this edition is old fart favourite Kop and the Scottish fantasy legend Gallant Pioneer.
Without further ado, let us see what they had to say.
Thanks for reading Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!. This article was written by Mito21.

With Salah out I’m thinking a merry-go-round plan may work.
GW9 Salah to Fernandes
GW10 Son to KDB
GW11 Bank
GW12 Fernandes to Salah plus 1FT to get the cash.
It’s a solid plan. The tricky bit is that’s a fair amount of transfers and we don’t know what else could happen. My team for example was looking fine last week and now it’s lit up like a Christmas tree
Didn’t know we had a blank in gw11. It’s a nice plan
Blank :scratch_one-s_head:
I think he means bank, to save FT to do the GW 12 plan…
Yes, miss read that :big-lol:
Looks like you’re right
With these evolving daily news for more injuries and covid cases wonder if it’s worth making any plans at all. Anyhow, my plan is similar to the one from Stone Frog.
2 FT and 1.0 ITB
GW 9-TAA and Salah out, Creswell and Bruno in.
GW 10- Son out, KDB in.
GW 11- Jimi out, Werner in.
Makes sense. I think Ziyech looks a better bet than Werner for me at a cheaper price
Good point Smash.
Haven’t done the calculations yet but think might be able to upgrade Neto to Ziyech in one of those weeks with a hit.
That I love
Hiya fellow fplers! I trust everyone is staying safe and praying for their players not to catch COVID during international break.. . Haven’t jumped the wc gun yet but thinking of swapping the team over. Would love some feedback. Was also thinking that I keep Kane in my wc team as another option and work around that.. would love to get salad back when he’s better also.. could also just bench salad but I don’t really have the best bench atm
Can bring salad back with kdb for a future week also if I want to
Kane option
Grizzly, I like the second option with Kane. You can drop him out when he fades away or get crocked.
So it’s just Kane v Vardy? I prefer Kane despite the fixtures there
Rather than double up on Villa, u could get Taylor over Targett. Otherwise nice although u could just not wc too
How about this (this would get me both Kane and Vardy.. with a less stronger defence and mid?)
This is not as good as the previous choices. Bench of Brewster, Riedewald & Casey is too risky imo.
If you really want Kane and Vardy together then I would downgrade the defence further to Taylor and Lamptey which gives you money for a 5.5 fifth mid as cover.
Or just Salah to KDB this week and keep the WC.
Who’s following the masters?
This has the potential to be one of the best majors in recent history!
Shaping up very nicely
Could do with DJ dropping a few
I was going to say the same thing. He’s got a bit of a cushion. If he does it really will be exciting. Lots of big names in the chasing pack
That’s all it was, potential!
If you have to pick up a 4.5mish def., whom will you pick? I shortlisted 3: Taylor (as now Mee is back), KWP/Vest (Sou def is good, but fixture is not that good) and Coufal (I have no clue how WHU def will do).
..and also may be Justin in that lot.
I put out an ad myself the other day: wanted, 4.5m defender.
A few applications have come through and I may interview:
Walker-Peters, Targett, maybe Balbuena. I need the applicants to answer truthfully about their playing time.
If you can afford a bit more then Justin may be worth the extra pence.
@Kralin, my logic is as below:
(1) KWP and Vesteragaad – KWP is more nailed on. But in easy matches KWP gets attacking bonus. In difficult matches, Vest gets defending bonus (also has a minor goal threat). KWP is more 1-2 or 7-8 earner. SOU def. has been quite good. Fixture is not good (which indicates to Vest over KWP). But then, def. is the area where we do not want to make much changes.
(2) Coufal and Balbuena – More value than Cresswell and also 0.6m can be used elsewhere. Coufal looks more nailed on. But if WHU goes to back 4 (instead of 5), I am not sure who they will sacrifice from Ogbonna/Diop/Balbuena. So I won’t go Balbuena long term (short term is fine, not sure when Diop will return).
(3) Targett – Another value option. My issue is that I have 3 AVL player (including Steer) – did not think AVL will put up such show.
(4) Justin – Gametime somewhat dependent on Perreira’s return. But has 3 good fixtures, then bit of a hit and miss.
Recent def. stat-wise all these 3 teams (WHU, SOU and LEI) look similar. That made the decision very difficult. I am more inclined towards Coufal/KWP. to save some 0.2-0.3m as well..
End result: Dilemma continues
Is it overthinking?
Sunday mornings price changes
Riser
Fernandes (10.6)
Fallers
Mahrez (8.2) Milivojevic (5.6) Westwood (5.3) Gibson (3.9)
A certain light always comes into my eyes when I see a 3.9 player.
Resisted myself from early transfer and hits…. wanted to sell TAA. He dropped. Thought of buying Bruno, he increased. Thought of buying Bamford, increased as well.
This season (especially this IB) is really test of a patience. Also, with random covid outbreak things can change anytime. 5 more days I have to keep patience, really getting tired.
