Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2018-19
Having heard from the positive bunch, we now move onto the ones who are not so much, which should be fun… To be fair, we’ve been massively judgemental and quick to conclude based on a one line response. We shall let you judge for yourselves whether we were right or not… #wewere 😉
Welcome to all, from the Glass is half empty club….
Thanks for reading Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2018-19. This article was written by inittowinit

Many thanks to Kop, Smash & Matt and of course Init for arranging the article.
Interesting reading – a lot of VVD love again lol.
I read all your answers and couldn’t get Last of the Summer Wine out of my head :big-lol:
Thanks. Yeah I was trying to think of a consistent attacker. But don’t think any of them have done the business this season
Sterling?
He’s been good but he’s also had a fair share of bad games. When I say done the business I really mean stand out player in the league
VVD’s ‘impact’ has been greater because Liverpool’s defence has been their achillles heel for years now.
People will overlook Sterling because he is in such a good side with class around him. However, he has improved immeasurably as a player….and this is from me who has been one of his biggest critics on here over the years.
Well, I think we can all agree that if it was a top 2, then Van Dijk and Sterling would be there.
And on the worst player I think you nailed it Smash! I can’t believe how poor Rico is.
A strong contender would have been my fellow Frenchman Le Marchand!
Oh yeah ale Marchand is up there with the whole Fulham defence
Chambers (Fulham) is the worst player I’ve seen this season. Tactically at least. Not a clue what his role was or where he should be in any game I’ve seen him play.
Cookie
For me buddy, yes. He gets better season on season and as much as the Reds might not like to hear it, City have improved him hugely.
I am seriously struggling with my FH team.
I’d love to have Hazard, Pogba in midfield at least, and would love to Aguero and Kane upfront, but somehow manage to think about putting Alli and Sterling in midfield!!!!
I am then left with no money left for the rest of my team!!
Should I ditch one of the City/Spurs players, if so who?
I need to somehow gain points on the league leader, who has already used his TC and FH
Is he WC’ing?
wouldnt have a clue mate.
Ok. Let’s work it backwards then. Does he have his WC left?
yep
When do you think he’ll play it?
Am sure he is bound to play it soon Init.
So am I, bearing in mind there’s not that many weeks left. Which one do you think he plays it in?
This conversation is slower than a herd of snails traveling through peanut butter 😆
I think he will play it in the next week or so.
I will probably play mine gw34.
I have a half decent set-up for the blank gw33, so will try and set it up for the dgw35, use my TC probably on the Pool v Huddersfield game (like alot of people), then BB on maybe gw37/38
Just need to get the FH right..lol
I’ve never liked peanut butter.
Neither do I. Snails do…
I don’t like snails either.
Then again snails are pretty slow traveling through anything….
The collective noun is rout, I think, for snails. A rout of snails.
“rout” = a disorderly retreat of defeated troops
Yeah, that’s snails alright.
The legal sense is better, especially if you try to grow courgettes. That’s not a retreat. It’s a fucking blitzkrieg.
What’s the rush; we’ve got a week
With help like this hammers is gonna need more than a week!
I’m walking him through it Kop, not my fault he walks slowly
Sorry Kop and Init, going as fast as I can.
been in hospital the past few days so missed alot, so bare with me, and not online as much at the moment, hence the delay, sorry
Bap Kop.
Still can’t get get a decent team together.
I can get ederson, sterling, hazard, Pogba, aguero and kane in, but the rest aren’t brilliant.
not helped by my transfer value being only 101.6.
do I bring in some dross and hope my big hitters will do the business for me.
You don’t need Alli mate, can you get all the other 5? If not, then drop Kane too
Your endless struggles /worries with your side rank alongside Cookie’s diary in terms of adding dramatic tension to the site.
I tend not to worry about opponents too much, though I have a furtive look sometimes at their sides.
I’d just go with the flow with the FH side.
Sterling/Kun/Ederson or Laporte seem the most nailed options. I wouldn’t drop a City player.
I was trying to ignore Spurs but know they’re one of the better options (no game in 33) in terms of getting 180 mins out of a player.
However given the fixtures I’d rather have a City player than a Spurs’ one.
Awesome article guys. I’m clueless who to grab and avoid and I’m on FH.
Good luck tonight with England. For some reason I always expect you guys to have a scary monster team but when I look at the teamsheet I see Everton. :p
Does anyone else think Dele Alli is seriously overrated?
I’m not a massive fan
Seriously overrated and a complete … insert swear word of choice here. Sancho looks good though, great goal there too!
Glad I’m not alone! Sancho does look good. Pretty encouraging to see the likes of Rashford, Hudson-Odoi, TAA etc not even featuring.
I never realized he’s English, playing for Dortmund and with such a surname I always assumed he’s German or Spanish or something…. 18 years too, still everything ahead of him!
I was about to ask this about all Spurs players but I’m guessing you’re referring to the England match?
I think Kane’s the only spurs asset interesting me from an FPL perspective at the moment. And that’s not exactly based on form!
Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking too.
Yeah it’s Kane or Son for me. Son comes with risks though mainly because he is exhausted
Depends who’s rating him mate.
He isn’t at top speed tonight at least. But he’s good.
Compared to your lot yesterday maybe 😉
I don’t think it’s fair to compare anything to Scotland right now. Not that I particularly care 😉
Seriously though, I don’t think Alli’s been any good for quite some time now.
Think it’s harsh to judge him at this moment as he doesn’t look like he has looked in previous years. Not that it really matters tonight.
Definitely isn’t the same player he was 2 years ago!
I think that’s exactly what I’m saying. A couple of years back he was exciting. That spark seems to have gone and he’s been average at best for a long time now.
I get that. I do.
Exactly
How’s Harry playing tonight?
Lovely pass for the first goal. England haven’t had a lot of chances, but he’s been involved.
Assuming you mean Kane! Maguire hasn’t had much to do 😉
I’d forgotten Maguire was playing
Sterling is gold.
