10 points from Jimenez are golden.
Where are all these triple premium plus TAA teams now?
Yeah agree, I’m booting them both out though.
Lukaku isn’t suited to the PL and never even looks like scoring, and Ron is in a team devoid of coaching.
Both should be around 9-10 million, and neither are even close to Salah or pre-Ronaldo Bruno levels.

This just isn’t true. On another day Lukaku would have scored or assisted a couple against Spurs, he hit the post and had a goal ruled out for offside today. You can still have a premium striker with the likes of Antonio, Cancelo etc.
Chelsea have scored 6 goals in their last 3 PL games, that means he’s had 12 opportunities to be involved in a goal and he’s got nothing.
I don't think that's how it works.

He’s isolated up too and out of form.
IMO he isn’t suited particularly well to the PL, but that’s by the by really.
He’s way overpriced for what he’s offering. As with Ronaldo, Kane and Aubergine.
It’s how I look at it, and how most top FPL managers do also.
A goal equals 2 opportunities for an asset to be involved.
Where does your money go if you only have Salah as a premium option?
Do you now believe in my superpowers @Dirty Schwein ?
20 for the captainers10 points from Jimenez are golden.
That makes no sense to me at all, I'm afraid.
If he came deep and passed to the assister and was the behind the play, for example, he had zero opportunities to do either.
If he missed two sitters in a nil-all is that somehow better?
That’s great but doesn’t bring points I’m afraid. Think we might have crossed wires / be talking about differing points tbh mate.
I don’t care about an 11.7 million striker assisting the assister or ‘could’ve scored 15 points’, I care about points and points only.
Lukaku has blanked in 4 games in a row for Chelsea, 3 of those being PL games, and 2 of those being games where Chelsea scored 3 goals a game.
I'm not saying it's any use. I just don't see what the score has to do with it. If he's regularly not getting points he's no use regardless of the score.
Each goal is essentially 2 opportunities for an attacker to bring points.
When people see Chelsea have scored 3 goals, they expect the 11.7 mill forward to be involved within those 6 opportunities. It’s what attackers are paid to do.
Look at it this way - hypothetically, if Chelsea kept on winning, but Lukaku kept on blanking, like dozens of games in a row - would Tuchel keep playing him for his ‘playmaking’ or drop him?
You can always selectively pick games and make a case.That’s great but doesn’t bring points I’m afraid. Think we might have crossed wires / be talking about differing points tbh mate.

Front line of Antonio, Vardy, Toney / Jimenez.
Then pack the midfield and defence with talent.
Keep Ron and Rom if you want, I’ll be looking to replace both as soon as I can without taking hits.
Might just feck all the premiums off
Ah okay. That makes sense. Vardy is a premium option, you can still do all those things with Lukaku in your team ahead of Vardy. I’m not keeping Ronaldo, fixtures are bad and he is not getting chances. The complete opposite to Lukaku.
If Lukaku doesn’t outscore Vardy from weeks 8-12 I’ll be surprised. I guess if you invest that 1.3 million in the right place you could still get higher points overall, but there’s not much between the midfielders at 6 million and the midfielders at 8 million for example.
I don't think I have the heart to take that every week.A defence of TAA - Cancelo - Dias - Rudiger - Azbi could be an interesting way to set up…
Only 8 players in the top 50 in the Caf league are currently beating 20 points.Think everyone needs to calm down. The average is like 11 points at the minute. Just a rare shitty game week. They happen.
If it makes anyone feel better I've seen people in some of my leagues taking -8's and barely scraping a zero.
