Fantasy Premier League 20/21

- Start date
I can't believe I am waiting till the last gameweek to use my wildcard.
I used my wildcard week 3 and week 2 after we got the second wildcard haha.
keeper changes arent worth it at this stage. Meslier is probably the best option if you were desperate for one though.I don't want Alisson either since then I need to hope for a bloody 0-0 and get annoyed when Liverpool concede, but still wins. One defender in TAA is enough so I can enjoy fully Liverpool fecking up in terms of defending.
Then again if Alisson shall score annoying late winners it might be better to have him.
Also do I go Henderson and gets mad when De Gea start and take my emotions out on Ole? Even though I think it might be the right call to give them one game each.
I might just stick with Martinez. Picking a keeper is too hard with everything to consider. Hardest position to predict I think too since save points often comes when you concede more goals too.
Harrison was my choice but Leeds fan/colleague said Rapinha.
Well my weakest positions are clearly Martinez and Bamford. Although I feel I should give Bamford another chance rather than fear him getting benched.
The strikers I want are Adams, Antonio, Joelinton, but I am not feeling extremly well about anyone of them. If Bamford start then I am happy to play him over them.
With keepers I think Henderson, Leno, Mendy, Ederson, Alison are stronger. Then Dubravka and Ramsdale could potentially haul in a 1-0 win either way.
Raphinha is the better player to be fair. Can't go wrong with him and I'll probably bring him in for GW38. The free kick thing is something I noticed but could mean nothing really.
Antonio could be good shout. west Brom play a really high line. He can easily get behind that. But I'm bringing him in so expect him to limp off after 10 minutes. The other strikers there are pony.
Maybe save the transfer for GW38?
Antonio been annoying so far for me. I went Soucek over him for double 19 due to Antonios injury record. Total failure. Benched all Souceks hauls anyway after that since he lost my trust. Then I got in Antonio for Fulham and a blank. Then he got injured and missed Sheffield game. I benched him vs Spurs when he scored partly cause I was not sure he would start. Benched vs City obviously I thought and playing double City def. Then two more blanks before he got 2 assists against Arsenal and 7 points. Lingard with way more so sticking with him over Lingard did not work. Then he of course got injured again too.
He is a very good player, but he blows hot and cold a lot.
Adams feels more like the guy I had from the start right now. Explosive and streaky at times when he starts. I like him as a punt, but I do think Leeds have better chance to win so benching Bamford and starting with Adams do not feel great. Although not sure Bamford is in good form though and also not sure he starts.
Made the most rookie of errors. Greenwood went up and Maddison dropped.
So Raphina the next best option?
So Raphina the next best option?
Smith Rowe as a differential instead of Lingard is tempting me. Need to make up 14 points.
DCL or Antonio?
Antonio
On paper, Antonio. Better fixtures over the next two games.
You're covered. my rival has Smith Rowe and I have JLingz. That ensures Smith Rowe will haul.
Worth transferring DCL to Antonio do you reckon? Or sticking if DCL is already in?
DCL v City means a transfer there next week, but would at least give a 2 freebie without.
Should I captain Bruno or Salah? The guy ahead in my ML doesn't have Bruno, but I fully expect him to transfer him in this week.
I'm doing that transfer (for a hit) for a few reasons:
Everton are pony at home
My rival has Antonio
West Brom play a super high line so that benefits Antonio massively
I need to make that transfer to fund my Jota to Greenwood move as the prices changed yesterday and there's no way for me to do it without this move.
However, now I am having whispers in my head about Raphinha... I was going to bring him in GW38 but maybe Jota to him is a good move and save the hit? feck now I'm confused
Toss of a coin.
I'm going Salah as his threat is from goals whereas Bruno's threat is mainly assists. Plus, if it's a close call, I always go with the later kick off as it gives you more hope (before that hope is crushed).
Can someone help me with this dilemma?
Differentials between opponent and me:
Me: Shaw, JLingz,, Zaha, DCL
Opponent: Rudiger, Smith Rowe, Son, Antonio
I got 28 point lead.
The plan was to bring in Antonio and Greenwood for Jota and DCL for a hit...
But maybe I keep DCL and do Zaha and Jota out for Raphinha and Greenwood?

Digne -> Cresswell / Other def or Iheanacho -> Adams or lower priced def to fund JWP to Greenwood for -4? (I am 0.1 short of that?)
Or I could go Bale -> Bruno/Greenwood
Or Iheanacho -> Antonio

Smith-Rowe or Raphina? Gotta set my team in the next hour as I’m working all afternoon and will forget.

Bruno's threat is goals from pens!
I hope Fulham aren't feeling particularly reckless tonight, and the other boys take the spoils!
I'll let Bruno score 2 in the final as compensation!
Will weigh up DCL to Antonio late doors.
Issue is that would be triple West Ham, just when they're not particularly in great form.
But West Brom and Southampton are decent fixtures to finish on.
West Brom are fairly tight at home though, that 2 v Liverpool was rare for them to concede a 2nd. It's away they get smashed.
Forster v Johnstone is my other consideration. Although it depends what the Southampton manager is thinking to see if it is a debate!
In your position, I might well just do DCL to Antonio for free.
Shaw should at least match Rudiger, and Zaha & Lingard could easily shut down SM and Son combined.
I feel a lot more confident for your situation than mine, even though I have 13 more points to play with.
Raphina.
2 decent fixtures to end on and he should play 90s which you're never 100% with Smith R.
Salah also has pens!
West Ham have been in bad form but form changes with fixtures. Perfect time for them to change their dip.
West Brom are tight but they have nothing to play for so may come out all guns blazing.
Forster won't play I dont think. But if you put him in, he wont get subbed on so you're covered either way.
So you would not htink Jota to Greenwood is worth it? If I dont do that move, I'll be playing Iheanacho...
I'm going Danny Ings captain due to the differential home pick and I think he's chasing an England place and new team so need to keep trying with my differentials for my ML.
I've taken a -4 but I'm also willing to remove Son for an extreme differential. I don't really like Willock as a pick so much, maybe Harrison but he's done this in the past where he looks mustard but let's the side down.

Need a differential and everyone else has Salah. I've got Bruno and Mane and thinking of captaining Greenwood against Fulham to hopefully make up some ground or is that just pointless because Bruno's on penalties?
Is zaha to greenwood for a -4 worth it, when I only have a 9 point lead? If I decide to keep zaha, should I play him ahead of Watkins who has spurs A?
if keeping, i would play ahead of Watkins.
Hodgson just announced he's leaving so this is his last home game.
Cue a Zaha blank and yellow card
So last big calls I think. Henderson vs mendy? Watkins vs Bamford?
Jota might be fit to play
Need to pick 3 out of Mount, Raphinha, Wood and Iheanacho. Any suggestions? Also, captain Son or Salah?
I will lose my sh*t if he is.Jota might be fit to play
Lots of questions... No answers
Jota might be fit to play
For the weekend. Not midweek.
it just puts another question mark over Salah and Mane but im sure he wont start.
Thoughts? Also mulling who should be captain Bruno, Salah, Kane are all being considered.
Martinez
Dallas Lindelof Dier
Raphina Gundogan Bruno Salah
Rodrigo Kane Cavani
Martinez
Dallas Lindelof Dier
Raphina Gundogan Bruno Salah
Rodrigo Kane Cavani
After Ryan Mason and Sean Dyches pressers, I cant decide between Kane or Salah for captain.
I like that attack. Could be a great differential if they all play. Not so keen on Dier and Linedlof but that's because I like my defenders to have some attcking threat.
Thanks. Fair point re Dier (who has now been sold for Coufal) and Lindelof but I do have Dallas who has plenty of attacking threat. I've taken a gamble on my front 3. Like all gambles, it's a case of hoping for the best.
Would Willock/ Saint Maximim be a crazy pick? Great fixtures.
Raphinha is the most obvious Jota replacement that I can afford, but I already have Dallas and Bamford...
