Fantasy Premier League 20/21

When does the wildcard refresh? Still have mine and tempted to use it.

Know it’s usually January but didn’t know if it was different this year with all the congestion
Wow, you're good at this game. I had to use mine early Oct else I'll be left behind in all my leagues. Had terrible start.

Anyway, seems like it's still the same. Before end of GW16 is the last time to use the 1st WC. Refresh in GW17.
 
I’ve still got Digne rotting on my bench. I haven’t a clue who to replace him with. I’ve got R James and Chilwell already. Want a city defender but seems like only the center backs are nailed on. Even considering Telles! Any suggestions from the caf very welcome!
Dias?
Dier and Telles are not bad choices either.

EDIT: Oh okay, I think you want FBs, so Telles and Reguilon.
 
Cheers. Good choices.

I agree on Chilwell out - he's too costly, plenty more valuable cheaper defenders.
Cresswell out for a cheaper defender is good too, but...
Dier is a very good choice, he's the most constant in Spurs defense. Son and Kane is a must in my team, so having Dier seems too much, we'll see.
No comment on Villa's defense, they're too...

Tempted to bring in Coufal.

Chilwell is fixed in my team though because I got him for £5.5m, he’s now £6.2m so I would essentially be losing £0.4m in value if I took him out. Barring an injury he has to remain with me until the end of season. I’m in the same position with Grealish, DCL and Son.
 
Salah for sure. Why do you need to save 1.1m? Upgrade Bowen to a better mid? Zaha may be?
Not trying to save, just a consequence.

I looked at what's available but Salah leaves me with an amount between the top players and the crap ones.

Given respective fixtures and form, I think Bowen is better option and just happens to be cheaper ... which I'll use another week, maybe upgrade a defender or Adams (my not so good forward).
 
:drool: Planning to bring Kane back in this GW, worried if he'll get new injuries.
Just checked and he's only played 2 out of 5 games one of those was a 30 min cameo. If it comes down to it Jose will prioritise the league no doubt, so I wouldn't worry about rotation with him.
 
I’ve done the same with Salah, KDB, Bruno and Kane.

Still feel it’s a bit much but found it impossible to choose between them and there are enough cheaper options firing to hopefully make it workable - had to downgrade DCL to Bamford but given the fixtures it’s a move I was fairly open to making anyway.
It seems crazy to get rid of DCL but if he's going to stop his run it's going to be now with the fixtures and Everton not playing particularly well. He also doesn't get many bonus plus with his high ownership if he does blank you have a good chance of gaining.

I'm currently weighing up who to drop out of DCL, Bamford and Grealish. Not an easy one!

I feel like Chilwell and James are the cheaper version of TAA and Robertson. I don't see why they can't put up some big scores this year.
 
You guys are right, putting all 5 in (KDB, Salah, Bruno, Son & Kane) is easily doable with the other 6/11 consistently playing too.

But I don't think it's mathematically possible to include any two of DCL, Zaha, Grealish, Zouma or Chilwell in the same lineup. It's a very close call to include even one, and you had to sacrifice about 4/11 with low-performing but always-play players, and sack all the bench with reserve players. Maybe it's possible enough to include two of them, but that'll be the maximum.

:lol: Not to mention doing those sounds so boring to play with. Sucked joy out of playing this Fantasy game. The struggles with keeping favorite players is part of the fun. DCL and Grealish are two must favourites of mine. Skip! Decided not to do this, KDB out (never like him anyway), everyone else in.

I can have:

McCarthy
Targett Vestergaard Coufal James (Kilman)
Salah KDB Son Bruno (fodder)
DCL Kane (fodder)

Can also keep Grealish if I go for 451 with just Kane up front.

Not sure how I feel about those top heavy teams and having virtually no bench. It appears boring as hell indeed.
 
Vestegaard or Matip in for Cancelo? Matip is definitely first choice right?
 
Zaha vs TOT and DCL Vs Chelsea, want to move one of them to the bench to get back Grealish.

Any suggestions?
 
I need to ship out castagne who is priced at 5.7

I have KWP, Dias, Chilwell, Mitchell

Im guessig Matip would be a good choice? Any other suggestions?
 
Moving captain's armband from Salah to De Bruyne.

I'm intrigued. Why? As a differential pick, or do you have information we all should know?

Play all of them! Surely you have lesser players to put on the bench?!

Zouma, Vestergaard, Cresswell, Dier.

Zouma looks very, very good Chelsea going forward.
Vestergaard and JWP is a deadly duo.
Cresswell has been very good to start the season.
Dier has turned into a CS machine (with some tough fixtures coming up)
 
Moving captain's armband from Salah to De Bruyne.
That might be smart as klopp keeps whinging about the fixtures and may rest Salah as Fulham is followed by a tough game against Spurs. I reckon Salah may start but as soon as they are a couple of goals ahead, he will get benched.

With that said, can your heart take it when Salah is running at Ream with an eye for goal? I know mines can't :lol:
 
There will be some very annoyed people unless Salah, Mane, Firmino and Jota all start at Fulham on Sunday.

:lol: Yeah if Salah starts he will massacre them.
 
Ah, I should've guessed as much :lol: In that case, I'm captaining Cancelo or Mendy, considering how Angeliño performed from LB yesterday…

City should never have let angelino go. Could have been essential for them as our defender captain. Although rotation with Mendy could be hard to take.
 
I think Salah will start all league games. Will get substituted often mostly, but should start.

I'm looking to move out DCL and Chilwell and bring in Wilson and TAA. Betting on a clean sheet + assist against Fulham and everyone kneejerking him in after. Any thoughts?
 
Yeah, Jota too.

I think I still captain Salah this weekend. The Fulham game is not until 16:30 on Sunday, so that's three whole rest days. I think Klopp plays his strongest team on Sunday to secure the three points and if they get the job done early enough, he can then look to take some of them off second half. I'd be surprised if Salah, Mane and Firmino don't start. Jota I am less certain of.

Whilst I don't want Jota to become Foden II for me, he's going to stay in my team for at least a few weeks, but might be one to move on for Son in GW16.
 
So Jota starts. I may have to move him to bench on weekend. What do you guys think?
Depends who your bench option is. I'm never going to bench him over Konsa away at Wolves. Part of the gambit you played when bringing Jota in is to accept that he won't start every match, but should still exceed his sub 7.0 price point in terms of value.

I have to bench Zaha who plays Spurs or Jota who plays Fulham. Else I will have to bench one of the forwards (DCL, Kane, Bamford)
