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….

Chip update…

Not as many FH’s being bandied about as I’d have expected then.
Also; Do they buy blue bricks or do they paint them afterwards themselves?
Zed Leppelin
Must be the famous Staffordshire blue brick…

I suppose many managers either played theirs last week (FH) or maybe frittered it away earlier in the season. It’s when you see stats like that you realise the main current of the game flows on steadily outside of fantasy football forums.
Managers careful planning and taking a punt on Kane, say, could be vapourised by someone in their ML TC Sterling.
Zed Leppelin
Wow quite many TCs on Aguero and Sterling I assume, hope they all TC Kun while I cap Sterling and Sterling outscores Kun by a hefty 21pts…
Zed Leppelin
Which of the two has more attacking threat?
Zed Leppelin
:side:
May I add that I’m talking about Azpi and Laporte 😆
Basically which is better Azpi/Ederson or Laporte/Kepa?
inittowinit
It’d be Azpi and Ederson for me, not so much based on potential attacking returns but more so on their chances of starting both games.
Zed Leppelin
Yeah there’s that nailedness consideration too :thumbup:
Otieno
I’m going Ederson / DLuiz
Zed Leppelin
Ok I’ve (man)caved in and tinkered with my FH team, came up with a bit of a differential draft:
Kepa
Schlupp – Wan Bissaka – David Luiz
Sterling – Hazard – Pogba – D. Silva
Aguero – Rashford – Batsu
That’s obviously if Rashford is fit, looking at those City fixtures I feel they will crush Fulham and Cardiff, I mean the fixtures don’t come any better, and to tackle the fact that loads are TCing a City attacker which with those fixtures is fantastic(!!!) I wanna go with 3 City attackers to tap into that golden flow of likely fantasy points when City score 10-12 goals in GW32… Could change one of the Chelsea defs to a United def but Chelsea more likely to keep cleanies so will double up there to maximize points, hoping that United will concede! 🙂
Frenchie
All your points make sense but I can’t help noticing you didn’t comment on your double Palace defense
Which obviously could pay off but are you not worried about it?
With Sakho injured I’m a bit skeptical, I believe they just conceded twice at home to Brighton…
Zed Leppelin
Haha, indeed that was a very strategical omission, but I think there’s a good chance of clean sheet in the first game at least, and if Zaha is out then Schlupp will play in his stead higher up the pitch maybe, don’t know which other def to have for 4.7m or less…
Kralin
Let’s hope the ‘golden flow’ is a long, steady stream of fantasy points.
Looks fine to me. The focus is on strong sides with the best fixtures. If Schlupp is oop then the side’s effectively a 2/5/3, which can’t be bad.
Zed Leppelin
Indeed! Might just go with the golden flow then, I have nothing to lose as I’m chasing over 100pts too so I have to be a bit different as well…
teo
Lads, which do you think is better for the dgw, jota or bilva?if it is jota then ederson is going to be my keeper and azpi for defence, if it s bilva then i m going for kepa and laporte.
Thanks in advance guys.
inittowinit
Neither particularly, I think both get rotated.
Red Robbo
My preference would be the Jota option – he’s been more consistently getting attacking returns than Bilva lately.

Hey all
Thinking of going 4-3-3 with my FH team as I’m just not happy with any of the midfielders under 6.0 in a 4
What about this?
I could downgrade azpi to rudiger or Luiz then swap batman to zaha if he’s fit
inittowinit
Thinking it may be the way to go myself. Plenty of double clean sheet potential at 6.0 and below i defence as opposed to what’s available in mid at that price, most of whom are massively subject to roatatuon due to those semis.
Stone Frog
Yes I had ended up in a very similar place. Just with Smalling and Rudiger instead of Lindlehof and Azp.
Kralin
Similarly. Have Rudiger myself at the moment.
Cookie
I see Jesus came off the bench for 30mins today – shoukf be nice and fresh for DGW32 😉
inittowinit
Kun saw it too, from home with his feet up
Cookie
In practice for match 2 of GW32
