I don't want to be on the end of that but I'd also lose 0.5m as well, he will drop in value over the next few weeks while he is out though. He blocks another Liverpool spot in the DGW if you keep him along with Salah and Trent, I think I have to get rid if I can get to Robbo. Ah yes, they have the new winger as well, so wouldn't need to be rushed back. Will wait and hear what Klopp has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted February 18, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2022 Price drop on Jota was kind. Pictures of him wearing a full ankle boot and crutches on twitter. I doubt he'll play this GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno has nice fixtures for the next 2 weeks with Leeds and Watford. Yes, Son has a DGW but that includes City away and Spurs aren't in good form (although signs suggest Kane might come good soon). I'm thinking a - 4 to swap Jota for a Arsenal MF (sit on my bench next week) and either Digne or Coufal for Robbo. Can't stretch to Saka so probably Odegaard but maybe ESR.

chappy Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Have ended up taking a -12, decided it might not be the worst week to do it as plenty of others will be taking some hits. Bruno-Salah Ronaldo-Kane DDG-Ramsdale Gray-Cornet The last two weren’t really necessary but backing Ramsdale to get at least one clean sheet this DGW and has better fixtures for the rest of the season and I panicked about us having a shocker tomorrow and me being left with Phil/JJ/Watkins 2/2/2 so brought in Cornet for the double double and benched Ramsey. As it stands Watkins may not play anyway, could do with shifting him given his form but not many great options, maybe Jimenez. Don’t fancy a -16 though!

Bruno just isn't the same player with ROnaldo in the team. He plays far too deep to be a regular attacking threat imo. I know he scored last week (thank god!) but I just don't think he justifies his price. I'm happy to get rid (and really it's Bruno for Salah, and Son for Jota. I just did the transfers in a different order ) Edited February 18, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's tempting. But I always wanted him out long term so I don't think I'll be swayed. Son in is the plan and then drop him down so I can afford Lukaku for Chelsea's run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted February 18, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2022 I've taken a - 8 in the end. Kept Bruno (have a feeling Ronnie might be rested after 2 starts and the Champs League game), gone Salah, TAA and VVD instead of Robbo (suspect Tsimikas might get some minutes). Ditched Watkins so I could have Coutinho and set myself up for Broja as an enabler with a good run. Was very tempted by Worghurst for the double double but it meant taking a - 12 to get the funds and I had decent depth already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2022 It’s all gone a bit mad. I can see the benefit of the wildcard, but I want to TC Salah so it’s a no go for me. It could be a very interesting weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Was heading out as the DGWs were announced and got home to see FPL Twitter in a meltdown over whether to wildcard or not. I’m sticking with my original plan. Wildcard is tempting having taken a -12 (which probably negates any Salah TC points I’ll earn anyway) but would rather keep it for a final push later in the season.

I'm going to wait on the WC too and just swallow the - 8. I'm pretty well set for the 28 doubles with 3 Villa plus Broja and Dennis already. I can use FT and mini hits to improve that and get more than just 3 Liverpool and Ramsdale for 29. Several teams still have 2 fixtures to rearrange so saving the WC for a big final push to try and take advantage of that seems sensible to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Just made it a -16 with Ollie out for Jimenez. I’m out of control. Driven to it by the inane chat about him not celebrating our goals enough You can all thank me when he bags a hatty today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
