Know where you`re coming from on that, and iv`e been stung too many times in the past as well..... but....THREE goals today in an improving Arsenal team,
food for thought.
Fantasy Premier League 20/21
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
food for thought.
They have City , Leicester away, and Tottenham Home, West Ham away and Liverpool in their next 6.
So I'd probably say no!
Using him in your week 29 free hit perhaps as a big differential , although WH away isn't a great fixture, but anyone without the FH will have their hands full getting 5-6 players together, so surely won't be able to get a 11.3m player in, who they wouldn't want v Liverpool the next game.
Got a lot riding on the west ham game tomorrow night. Coufal and Soucek, and hopefully Antonio plays too, otherwise I've got Dallas with -1 off the bench!
It's Leeds. They always concede loads. Don't buy into the hype.
Look at their fixtures all the way up to GW31. Don't get him.
Can't believe Fulham got a cleany tonight! A guy who is about 60 points down, but is a multi champ in my league has their keeper. Dammit!
Glad Digne blanked though, and taught us why we don't put Everton players in as punts. Richarlison move swerved!

100 points, only player to not register a clean sheet/ goal or assist was Rashford. Tosser.
What on earth is his thinking there?
I only realised this evening that Fulham have conceded the same amount of goals as United this season and fewer than Liverpool. Their defence was awful at the start of the season but in the last 2-3 months their record has been near the best in the league (excluding City)
Think their goalies in top.5 goalies in FF (points)?
Looking forward two weeks to DGW and got 10 doubles already so will move towards. Like Leicester's fixtures and looking at their defenders and noticed Pereira is £5.9m! How? Only played a few games.
I would like these fixtures to be announced asap!
I also need Antonio to start tomorrow and get me points. Since the City game it's been all downhill.
Likelihood of Gundogan playing?

Bad week for sure and I have Gundogan captain, but most other things gone wrong.
Still looking at a fairly big rank drop unless Gundogan saves me again. At least need him to play hopefully just getting a few points could be massive.
One rival with Sterling captain still around my score so far crazy enough.

78 points so far with Chilwell and Soucek still to play tonight plus the DGW players Pope, Dias, Gundogan (if he plays) and DCL (if he plays).
Yes he's been a continual disappointent for me. Can stay for Newcastle but might have to consider binning him the week after depending on the doubles. Might be finally time to scratch that Grealish itch I've had all season.
Glad Areola got a cleanie. Makes me not so upset about benching rank killer Martinez now. With a game left to play shouldn't be much difference between them now (none if he keeps another clean sheet).
I reckon Mee will be ok for midweek. Was quite telling that Dyche said it wasn't a concussion substitution.
Gundogan is another matter. Can see him getting a rest even if it's just a tight groin. Probably not worth the risk as he looks so important for them at the moment.
2 Free transfers then and despite them being shite yesterday it's hard to look past a Leeds load up in 25.
Was gonna take a hit and bring in all of Dallas, Bamford, Raphinha/Harrison but I think I'll just bring in the latter 2 now (for Antonio and Soucek) as Mee has West Brom at home and I'll always play both City defenders.
Should line up like this...
Areola
Dias Cancelo Mee
Bruno Rashford Gundogan Son Harrison (vc)
Bamford (c) Watkins
Bench : Martinez, Cresswell, DCL, Digne
* If Gundogan is out I'd probably bring in Dallas for Cresswell and play him instead.

Bit disappointed with my Leeds contingent.
For those with your Free Hit whe are you planing to use it?
At the moment the opportunities that spring to mind are 26 (huge double), 29 (huge blank), 33 (small blank).
With 29 the key thing is how many players can you get out? Games for Fulham, Leeds, Newcastle, Brighton, West Ham, Arsenal and likely Spurs v Villa to be added. That last fixture being added would be crucial as I reckon most will have at least 4 from those last 2 teams and then should probably be able to field 7/8 players making the advantge of a FH neglibile.
33 is interesting as City, Spurs, Southampton, Fulham all blank (Carabao Cup Final). For me I'd probably have 3 City as well as Son and Kane but a Free Hit here would allow me to keep them and attack the fixtures here which look great for some of the bigger teams.
26 is obviously a great opportunity to load up on the 11 best doublers but would mean not using my TC chip here as planned so probably my least favuorite option of the 3.

Brought in Rashford on the wild card solely for West Brom and Newcastle. Can't wait to get rid of him. Absolutely useless
I was planning 29 but given your thoughts maybe 33... Was planning on ditching Coufal & Antonio soon though as thought would be using FH in GW29 but maybe should stick onto them
I am in big problem due to injuries. Was thinking 26,but I need to sell injured players.

Yeah I'm binning 2 West Ham this week but for Leeds so it's like for like in terms of 29.
The good thing is if you've got it you can just play each week as it comes, no need to really have more than a passing eye on either gw whereas others might need to make early transfers for players they might not normally go for.
I need 0.1 to transfer DCL to Kane.
Coufal will be the one to go. I will get a Leeds defender as they double next week and then also play in the blank.
Question is, which one of these tosspots?
Ayling
Struijk (cheapest of the lot, tempting)
Cooper
Alioski (he was my first choice but seems to get benched a lot)

Am I mad for thinking of starting 3.9m fodder Struijk over Stones next GW? He's only in my squad because he's a playing 3.9m defender for worst case scenarios, and I already brought in Dallas last week when Justin got injured with the plan to play Dallas/Cancelo/Stones next week.
But now Struijk's goal makes me think I should've just saved myself the Dallas transfer...
Could just start all 4 and bench another MF or FW but then would have to bench two from Maddison/Son/DCL. Hate still having such a deep squad, wish I had saved my wildcard for after bench boosting to immediately cannonball the bench and save headaches every week!

Mate he's not scoring again
He's in your team because he's playing twice next week and again on 29.
I have the same dilemma. I think I'll play my bench boost as my team looks like the below:
Martinez
Dallas, Stones, Cancelo
Salah, Bruno, Gundogan, Son
Bamford, Kane
Subs: Forster, Struijk, Antonio, Grealish
This way I can get rid of that useless chip and get money off my bench.
Yeah, major value, I got him a few weeks ago. Only issue is their defence won't be as secure while Thiago Silva is out injured.

He played in midfield...maybe he could be the new Gundogan
I had always planned on leaving him on the bench as Leeds very rarely get a clean sheet so I though most likely he will end up with 2+2 whilst City will probably get another clean sheet away, regardless of a 'tough' fixture on paper. But now he's thrown that element of doubt.
Half tempted to take a big hit soon to ditch my bench soon and rectify some recent mistakes. Currently have:
Martinez, Areola
Cancelo, Stones, Dallas, Coufal, Struijk
Sterling, Fernandes, Son, Rashford, Maddison
Cavani, DCL, Antonio
And planning to do 1 FT of Antonio > Bamford this GW
But currently regretting:
- Playing 2nd wildcard before bench boost
- Picking up Rashford & Cavani and jinxing them (sorry all)
- Not picking up Gundogan
Now my closest rival finally has Gundogan (and Sterling) so it's finally time to swallow my pride and cover him. But could really do with that wildcard in order to reshuffle the City players, ditch the Utd players (bar Bruno), and ditch the strong bench. Alas.
Which looks better for a bench boost?
Forster (wont play)
Antonio (spurs)
Grealish (leicester)
Lowton (wba)
or
Forster (wont play)
Stones (leicester),
Watkins (fulham)
Struijk (sheff utd)
Forster (wont play)
Antonio (spurs)
Grealish (leicester)
Lowton (wba)
or
Forster (wont play)
Stones (leicester),
Watkins (fulham)
Struijk (sheff utd)
why not bb in dgw26?
Planning to TC Kane and I have 3 Leeds player (saving them for 29) who only play Villa... so I'd be wasting it on that.
Patiently waiting for Antonio news........
How many teams are going to be doubling up in week 26? Anyone?
Played my triple captain and got a pathetic 52 points every one around me had Gundogan, as I did but gambled last minute and changed to Jesus. I hate these double game weeks..
Ah man. I've had some terrible luck this season too. Just keep going.
I have literally never had a triple captain come through big for me. Worst one was Sterling, who had been on fire, City had an easy home game against a relegation fodder, yet he somehow ends up with -1 giving me a -3.
No Antonio ffs. Dallas -1 off the bench.
With Soucek coming off my bench anyway, my bench boost works out as 19 points gained in the end. Which is fine, but very lucky. Thank god for Emi Martinez.
No Antonio... Need Coufal to do the business.
It's frustrating as now he's not guaranteed for next game (was going to bench boost) and his value will drop, which is annoying as I need that money to upgrade him to Watkins...

No Antonio.
That's a bit of a relief. Need Sheff Utd to score and shut out still though.
BBC text don't even mention Antonio, when the only thing anyone cares about in the lineup is whether he was playing.

Cresswell in for me.
Hope this makes Soucek more dangerous.

No Antonio but Dunk coming in with 7 points. Going to bring Bamford in for Antonio as he has a DGW and also appears in GW29.
Rashford is very frustrating in fpl. He’ll haul as soon as you get rid, but still have played shit
Yeah already done that. Will hold my second transfer until closer to the deadline.
