If Watkins will still be playing up front, he stays. Switch to Ings (if he plays) if he will be the main man up top as he will probably be the penalty taker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Jack going and Ings coming in has actually really settled my FPL squad. Watkins has gone for Ings and Grealish downgraded to ESR (who will be on my bench) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame what’s happened to him. Im about to take Grealish out which frees up a spot for another Villan. Possibly a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Jack out for Emi or Bailey (+£1.5m)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted August 7, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 Now that Jack's gone which 3 Villa players would everyone go for? Martinez is fantastic but I feel he's 0.5m too expensive and I don't like having premium keepers. No DF jumps out as so many options at 4.5m elsewhere. Question marks over Watkins now that Ings is here and so you go for Ings? I'm wanting Buendia and very tempted by Bailey. Decisions, decisions.

Stevo985 Posted August 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’ve gone for Targett and Ings. Not convinced by Buendia (from an FPL perspective) and the possibility of Watkins being moved out wide has scared me off him. Martinez too expensive imo.

I don't think that 0.5m is that much, given he is going to be (hopefully) getting a lot of points - there are a lot of other options in the rest of the positions and quite happy to more or less leave him there for most of the season, barring injury/poor form. Bailey is unlikely to start Watford as not even joined up with the team yet. I suspect Watkins will start Watford so more likely to get points but definitely got an eye Ings as well. No Man City players this year - tired of Pep rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the same every year, I pick three Villa players based on what I want to happen, rather than what my head tells me will. I’ll probably put Bailey on the bench until I know he’s here and ready to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards the same 3 and hoping today's game provides some sort of clue to line up and tactics going forward but feel it's too soon as too many players are only just back or new to the team.

Farlz Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Currently have Buendia and Ings but that's very likely going to change to just Ings. Buendia missing the last 2 has put me off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we line-up and would you choose Ings over Watkins based on that? I didn’t see the game either but I’d be shocked if Watkins doesn’t start. I guess the question is will he start on the left to get Ings into the team, or will Smith play them both in a 422. I’m now thinking I should take Buendia and Bailey out, can’t see Bailey being available, but Buendia may be, depending on his injury niggles.

Rds1983 Posted August 8, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2021 After today's no show I've taken Buendia out. I have brought Young in though as a bit of a gamble for the first few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We go again. Every time, my team looks good on paper, but then it gets all mussed due to injuries, suspensions, and rotations. It is like my innocent selection of a player in my team is a curse upon them. So, I am doing my bit. No Villa players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2021 Buendia was a lock for me but his non-appearance against Salernitana has made me temporarily remove him. I currently only have Ings from Villa, but Emi will be in if the news is good. I'm far from settled on a 15 but I'm settled on about 7 of my starting 11 with the others waiting on press conferences. I even turned my Toney 6.5 into a VVD 6.5 briefly until I realised how risky a pick VVD is early doors. I'm also dodgy on Digne too now so he's currently out. Looking forward to all the tinkering being over on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that counts as a decent sub I just wouldn't be risking non-starters in week 1. If the template peloton takes off without you and you're missing players then you're playing catch-up straight away. Funnily enough it's also why I wouldn't be going for Targett. If I was going Villa defence now it would be Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that about Martinez but teamed him with Steer @ £4.0 and a guaranteed start every week. I know that in a GW we aint playing it causes an issue but might look again...... No outfield Villans yet until we know who is fit available and starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
