Fantasy Premier League 20/21

Robertson went up in price to 7.3m. Am I going to be punished for not owning one of the Liverpool full backs over the xmas period?

Are him and TAA boiling up to last season's form is the question.
There was a reason we all started with one of them at the start of the season.

But to get them in now will take quite a downgrade elsewhere which if you're battling to get Tottenham coverage makes it quite a tough call.

I can do Chilwell to TAA this week, already owning Robbo, and am desperately trying to work out how I can then do Son and Kane/Vardy in in GW16. Don’t think I can!
 
@Sandikan @TMDaines I think 7.3m for a defender is too much. I want to see regular attacking returns until I can invest in that. If W.Brom pull out a tank in front of them and limit them to 1 or 2 goals he may end up with only a cs. I think more time needed to justify the price.

Yeah it rucks my plan - which is to get Son and Kane before their quality run of games.
 
Jose does look to have shackled them a bit.
But with Fulham and Leeds at home back to back they could still majorly haul.
I think Fulham are getting better defensively. They're still conceding but not as heavily as before. The Leeds game will be open but on the counter, it's most likely Son that will do the damage although Kane will get assists I reckon.
 
Salah is going up . Feck ! Wanted to bring him after City vs Newcastle (for KDB).

I will do it now
 
Bruno to Rashford a good move?

I think some of the fixtures we got might suit Rashford well on the counter.
Also Bruno might get a rest vs Wolves potentially.

We have tricky fixtures so I am probably not going to captain either one.

The pens is the worry though. We are so good at getting them. Bruno takes them most of the time.

Depends on how much you got him for. I have already saved 0.5m by getting him early. You will go back to him at one point of time at which point he would be too costly

No imo. Bruno is just ridiculously consistent. I'd only consider Rashford for him if you're chasing badly. There's an argument for both which I'm considering

I am just not sure how to free up 1.3 million for Robertson.


DCL and Sons form make me think they are players to remove soon. I need double gameweek players. Only have 6 right now who I am happy to start with. 7 with Chilwell if I keep him.
 
Be intereting to see if they today schedule Burnley vs United for our blank midweek GW18. As much as they may want to hold back postponed games for when fans can attend, United will have no room to schedule it in if they keep progressing in cup comps.

If they do, triple United gets very tasty to enable keeping hold of the Free Hit chip.
 
Both Pool and City games can get out of hand this week. WBA are bad but Newcastle got smashed for 5 by Leeds and barely keep out any team at all, plus they all travelled and played full team in midweek. Tired garbage defenders vs a City team looking to get back to high scoring ways would be tough to ignore if it wasn't for a deadly Salah vs another crap team.

Id still go with Salah unless you're massively chasing. Most people will Captain him and you don't want to get left behind. I also have KDB so at least I'll cash in if he does well.

That would be superb for me just having one each.
Could then free hit week 19 without any risk on 18.

Is there any whisper of that reschedule though?

DCL I think. Like Son, he doesn't have a double, but unlike Son, his fixtures doesn't look too good, and he isn't as explosive.

Was looking to swap him for Adams this week to fund Grealish>Son next week, but it could backfire with his ownership. So I will just roll and make them together next week.

I currently have 6 doubles, Adams will make it 7, looking to bring in Coufal and Vardy as well by GW19. Expecting 9 doubles as it stands, with Martinez and Son the two with single fixtures.
 
Thoughts on Lamptey and Chilwell out, Dias and Reece James in?
I was about to sell Chilwell and James. Probably for Dier and Zouma. I've read too many things like this that make me think Chilwell & James are unlikely to feature in at least the next 2 games:



Chelsea's next 4 games are Arsenal, Villa, City, Blank, so I might not even bring Zouma in. That doesn't sound like a great set of fixtures for Chelsea regardless. Especially if their usual full backs are missing.

These are the frustrating ones in fantasy football.
You either want them fit or to be out a definite period. Not these "might" be ok soon types that spin out 4-6 weeks.
 
This whole saga about Salah wanting to leave and being upset over the captaincy is worrying me in FF terms. I would remove him from my team if he didn’t hit their penalties.
 
Considering Son and Bamford for Foden and Kane. Main downside is that it will mean I am without a single city player. Then again, the only city player I would like to have De Bruyne and there is no way of squeezing him in unfortunately.

He'll be angling for a new contract. No chance they let him go in Jan. It'd ruin their season.
 
I am really lost. Is our game against Burnley going to be moved to the blank week?
If so all my plans should be different and I would rather free hit for the double than the blank.

Problem is I do not have a great squad for the blank and need to take hits to get 11 starters.

Is this decided today? And what was the outcome?

I like to know that too.

I guess my squad would be for the blank.

Martinez, Lindelöf, Stones, Bruno, De Bruyne, Son, Grealish, Wilson, DCL

Two players missing which would require a hit to get. Not sure who would be worth a hit for that week.
Telles vs Shaw makes it hard to punt on them. Maguire is not scoring any goals so not sure I would want him.
