Literally ever For clarity @Genie he would have scored 2 points for playing 60+ minutes, 4 points for each goal (Strikers get 4 for a goal, midfielders get 5), and the 3 bonus points. 2+4+4+3 = 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2021 Price rises mean I've already made my transfers for next gameweek. Bruno and Scarlett out, Gallagher and Lukaku in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2021 Sitting at 2,914 overall with no-one left to play. That'll plummet today but I'm uncomfortable being that high 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 BOF masterclass. 68 point weekend for me. Still pretty happy with my team, Benrahma might be my transfer out this week but not 100% sure. No wildcard needed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming off Antonio this week because West Ham have a load of non Premier League games coming up and I think there's a few other similarly priced strikers looking more appealing.

I'm coming off Antonio this week because West Ham have a load of non Premier League games coming up and I think there's a few other similarly priced strikers looking more appealing. My original plan was Week 7 wildcard but I'd managed to find a route to avoiding that. But these setbacks means that probably isn't practical anymore. I've already taken a -4 this week (I know, before the gameweek even finished!) so another hit to get DCL out would be -8. Thinking a wildcard would address some other fires anyway and would probably make more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may force me into a wildcard I did the same...Toney out instead of DCL. I never transfer early either but I was looking to be on the wrong end of price changes. I've had probably my worst start to the season ever, but still trying to hold on to my wildcard for early December. Maybe Ronaldo will be fixture proof, but his record against the weaker sides is of course much better. He will naturally get five hat tricks in the next 10 GWs though.

I'm going for Lukaku over Ronaldo. I think it would be too unbalanced to have both and I think there's a very good chance Lukaku outscores Ronaldo over the next 6-8 weeks. Of course having ROnaldo now and then moving to Lukaku in GW7 is probably the best solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I've got Salah, Lukaku and Ronaldo (and TAA, Shaw, Antonio, Torres). Rest of my squad is naff though. Tbh I only have all 3 because I played my wildcard and forgot to finalise my team and settle on 2 of them on Saturday morning. I'll probably have to spend 4 this week to shift Antonio and rebalance my team a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted September 14, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2021 I've ditched Antonio and Benrahma for Bamford and Raphina. Here's hoping Leeds come good and batter Newcastle. Never thought I'd be saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2021 Wildcard is active. Fairly settled on what I've got Sanchez, Meslier Trent, Shaw, James, Duffy, Livramento Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Gallagher, Sissoko Lukaku, Bamford, Antonio My only big decision is whether to go for someone instead of Antonio, with the contingency of going back to Antonio in GW7 (I'm planning to go Jota to Mount which would free up some cash). I just can't bear losing the value I've got in Antonio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2021 If you think there are better options why would you cling on to what is effectively 0.2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2021 Just now, BOF said: If you think there are better options why would you cling on to what is effectively 0.2 ? Because I'm an accountant And I'm not sure the options are better. I was going to go with Jimenez or Watkins, which are both punts. Our fixtures aren't great and Jimenez' stats aren't great despite their good fixtures. It's really just pouncing on this coming week because Antonio is suspended. So I'd be losing 0.2 for a 2 week punt I guess the upside is huge. Having a fairly low owned Jimenez and very low owned Watkins if they deliver would be very profitable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'm surprised how many wildcards still have Shaw. I want rid asap and will bring him back when I wildcard around GW 14. I'll be taking him out for a Wolves defender if I get the chance, few other issues to fix first though for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'm a bit of maverick. I used my wildcard GW3 and I am using my free hit this weekend! I've listened to a couple of FPL people on YouTube and feel like I need to break away from what they say because if everyone does the same, it will be boring. Currently have 300 points which is great as I'm usually chasing and going for someone who I goes on a streak. I have put 2 Man City players in my team (Cancelo and Torres), but I am now worried that they will be rotated as they played yesterday and Pep will play Walker and one other intstead.
