Yep, Wood, Rogers and Amad are taking it in turn to ruck me up and have a haul left on the bench these last 3 weeks.
Fantasy Premier League 2024/25
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
My mate got Gibbs White and Elanga in for the differential in my ML. While I have Wood and Aina.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Literally mins later Wood scores - and I actually started him. Lovely.
Wood just scored so don't worry
Could do with Forest conceding though, a lot have their defenders now.
Leave the cleany for v Liverpool soon.

We've all got Wood tonight.
Maz dropping in price is just so strange. Do none of these people realise we play Southampton next? Why wouldn’t you keep him for that fixture and then drop? Think I’ll just keep him at this stage as there’s one or two more important moves to focus on.
65 all out which seems to be about the average or just below.
More importantly Watkins to Isak and finally have a squad I'm pretty happy with for once...
Verbruggen Fabianski
Kerkez Robinson Hall Milenkovic Greaves
Salah Palmer Amad Rogers Enzo
Haaland Isak Jesus
£0.5m in the bank. Should've been £1.5m and a shit load more points if I'd got on Isak when his run started but there ya go. Absolutely not fussed about premium defenders this season as all the ones I have at the moment are keeping pace and hauling every 3 weeks or so.
The tinkering will be around that 5th midfielder 3rd striker spot currently occupied by Enzo and Jesus. Will probably try and get Wood/Wissa in the striker spot soon enough and keep an eye on the likes of Elanga and Murphy if they keep returning well.
Also happy to keep Haaland as a genuine differential over the next few weeks at least. If I decide to shift him then that would potentially be a wildcard around the rescheduled Liverpool v Everton fixture where I can load up on Liverpool, get a couple of cheap Everton bums (Pickford, Mykolenko) and redistribute the funds correctly on the likes of Mbeumo.

57 and done, so not the best week but we go again. Early transfer done - finally managed to ship Lewis for Konate
Worst week so far. At least I was expecting it, and in fairness I know people who've had worse weeks so I probably shouldn't complain too much. I still want to fire 10 of my players out of a canon and I've now got about 100 points to make up in my ML, but it could have been worse.
I was going to bring Rogers in for Semenyo but wondering if bringing Amad back in might be the way to go now.
He's cheaper, gas close enough to the same points in a lot less minutes and United have a decent run of fixtures now.

When did he fall in price? Saturday night/Sunday morning makes a little more sense I suppose if people transferred him out ahead of the deadline on Saturday. People scared of him going to Anfield.
If it was after that then it seems shortsighted. Even if it was Saturday night, people could always have decided to bench him for Anfield, knowing that Southampton was after that.
Would think he'd be a rotation option at his price point anyway, and that benching him for certain games would come with the territory.
Beginning to have massive doubts over the Semenyo > Mbeumo transfer I made.
His fixtures don't scare me as such, and I'm glad I got in there before a price rise. It's more that I'm thinking of bringing in Bruno now as a 5th midfielder and going with 5 quality loking midfielders that I want to start every week. While Mbeumo's fixtures don't bother me too much, Bruno's seem better for the next 3 weeks or so and I'm thinking I should have priortised him if that's how I wanted to end up.
This Southampton game looking very tasty for United assets in particular.
The other thing is this from fotmob for Mbeumo:
The overperformance when it comes to goals scored vs xG is one thing, a player can be deadly at finishing and you can ride that wave. Perhaps a little concerning that it may stop at any point though.
Scored about 3.5 over xGOT too, which suggest goalies are randonly chucking a few in when he shoots as well.
That could very much stop too. He's definitely been more clinical than you'd expect, but he's had some help there.
Just keep it going Bryan!

I reckon mbeumo can score against anyone in this sort of form whereas we look like we can get a result against Liverpool one week and get twatted by wolves the next
I transferred Maz out on Saturday for Milenkovic. No regrets. He's only scored over 5 points in 4 out of 20 games and isn't even on the first page for defenders any more. Absolute garbage FPL asset.
Having no Haaland makes the game so much more interesting and gives so many more options. You can have so many luxury players in your team when you don’t have Haaland. It gives a headache here and there because you usually end up with too many good players and don’t know who to start and who to bench, sometimes a nice headache to have though.
I like Bruno and had him until recently but just don’t like going in on United players as it’s double heartache when we play shit. It’s tough at the moment if you have Palmer and Salah as you have to start both every single week. Mbeumo and Gordon are killing it. Rogers is so cheap that he opens up room elsewhere to spend money so is great to have. Same with Amad currently. Some really good options right now for the people without Haaland!
Oh can’t argue with this at all but just seems so strange to do it right before the Douthampton game. He will go for me eventually but right now with Southampton next it seems pointless fkr me
To drop him.
Yeah you gotta keep your United players for the next game.
Absolutely, so many ways of going!
I think a Salah, Palmer, Bruno, Mbeumo, Gordon midfield would potentially be great which is what I was looking at, as are lots of other ways. Got Rogers now, but I'm looking at my strikers with a bit of suspicion. Jackson in particular has gone off the boil, and I don't totally trust Solanke yet. Isak is fine. With some other strikers doing well just recently at cheaper price points I thought that could be a way to go. Isak + 1 and that stacked looking midfield.
By the time I get enough FTs to do all that Jackson might be firing again. Fixtures look decent enough for him in the immediate future so who knows.
Keeping cheaper midfield options in there very viable too like you say. Rogers, Amad or both. Could maybe open things up to spend more on defence or goalie although it's been difficult to find relibaility at the back so far. At least for me, who has for some reason steered clear of Forest.
The GW had already closed so anyone getting rid Maz Sat night would have been taking him out for Southampton which does seem strange. Although he's not been getting many points lately.
