Fantasy Premier League 21/22

Likely to be any change with the Southampton goalkeeper situation? I have Fraser Forster and struggling to switch him out this week with only 1 transfer available.

Him not starting would make me go for the -4, but tempted just to stick those week.
 
I can't be dropping Arnold. I'd kick myself if he started and hauled. Finding it hard to get behind Pope when 1 of his games is City it feels like a single. Sanchez has the best single fixture going. Surely Palace score against Arsenal with their attacking talent
Maybe start TAA and hope he doesn't come on for a 1pt'er. Arsenal defence is good though, expect that game to be 1-0.

Pope/Sanchez is a close one but Pope often gets save pts. I have Sanchez in goal but don't own Pope.
 
I can bring in Mount and Reece James. High risk high reward, but feel it could be a suicide move with rotation.

Rather have Sancho than Chelsea mid, but just can't afford him.

Feel at some point I want Cancelo and punt on Reece James. Looking at the fixtures now is not an ideal time.

34 is the best time, but it will be too many transfers to bring in them both then.

Zaha and Olise were doubts last I heard.
 
Sanchez
Cancelo Rudiger TAA Tierney
Son (V) Kulu Salah (C) Havertz Saka
Broja

Bench: Ramsdale, Maupay, Hwang, Ait Nouri

Maybe drop Tierney to bench to get in Hwang/Maupay? Or leave it as is.
 
James for sure even if he gets 2-3 games less than Laporte I still think he outscore him with attacking returns.
Yeah James is more explosive. I was only thinking that Chelsea wouldn't really be interested much in league games and focus on cl. While city can't take focus away from league. Plus Laporte obviously more nailed.
 
I’m surprised there’s not a lot of chat about wildcards, unless a lot have used them already. I had my team set up the whole time to WC right after 30.

As it turns out it’s quite awkward with the doubts over several key players.
 
Saiss and Watkins out for James and Weghorst minus 4.

Currently sitting 9th in the Redcafe league and having a good season.

I have 2 free hits left but planning to not use one in 33 as i will have 7 or 8 players playing twice.

I lost 2 mini leagues on the last day of the season last year with a 44 point lead to my brother.

I currently have a 74 point lead on him and he is sitting 2nd again so my plan is to free hit his team on the last day of the season so the fooka does not catch me again.
 
Thoughts on just going Ramsdale and Leno to save the headache? Seems unlikely that we’re going to have games called off for Covid now, despite the high case rates.
 
Ok chaps, what we thinking?

Ramsdale Dubravaka
TAA Rudiger Holgate (doubles) Tierney Dier
Salah Rapha Saka Ramsey Kulu
Kane Toney Jiminez


2 things that leap out (will have to gamble on 1 of those keepers playing!)


1) Rapha & Jimi to Havertz & Weigy -4 (Jimi suspended until week 34 (!), but Rapha has a couple of good games
2)Freebie Jimi to Richarlison

Who do I leave out of the 15, outside of 1 keeper, Ramsey and Toney?

Fantasy footy redcafe royalty, what say you?

Two Saka(h)s?

1

is Option 3 “if I go for option 2”?

Ramsey/Raphinha (troll)
 
Managed to squeeze Kane in for a -8.

Ramsdale (Foster)
TAA Cancelo Coady (Livramento, Veltman)
Salah Son Saka Ramsey (Martinelli)
Kane Dennis Cucho
 
I got rid of Raphinha in Gw 16. It was up there with the 99 CL final, my wedding and kids birth.

He’s got 39 in the next 14 weeks

The Weigy love is mad too, as he's scored 1 in about 6, and Burnley are utterly rancid, and have City in one of their games.
However, Havertz is on a mad run, and the Weigy part facilitates it. And Chelsea themselves have a couple of doubles coming, like Burnley do.
 
Jimenez to DCL? Plan to use my WC soon, so may as well make a feck it move?

People in your position are generally doing Jimi to Weghorst
 
Thinking of selling TAA and another one of my mids proberly ESR and transfer in Cancelo and Mane.
Dont have Salah but planning to Wildcard next week so this week I think it might be worth a punt on Mane.
 
Does everyone then agree James over Laporte is a no brainer?

With 2 free transfers would you do Trent and fodder to James and Cancelo and go without Trent for the rest of the season with a back 3 of Cancelo James Robertson?
 
I'll do that.
If it goes wrong, I will come crying/rageful to your door :D

But Rapha does have 2 interesting games...
I'd probably hold that -4. Chelsea could focus more on cl and rotate in pl which is done for them. Raph has a good home fixture and Leeds have improved.
Yeah and Leeds form is turning… beat Norwich at home and ten man Wolves.

Go Rapha!
Must not get pulled into the Rapha trap....
