    I presume there's nothing in the bank? Because I'd like #2 but with Simpson and Sane instead of Maguire and Sterling.

    Yeah nothing ITB, I know but I feel like not having Hazard may cripple me especially with their upcoming fixtures.

    My first draft:
    Mignolet Elliott
    Daniels, Lowe, Ward, Moreno, Naughton

    Would prefer RLC to Surman and I'd use the money itb to upgrade Long. You'll need 5 starting defenders over Christmas.

    In the FPL world, Niasse is one of the best value for money you're gonna get in the game atm. Concerned about his future gametime with a new manager but at his 5.0 value, he's a great option. 5 goals in 377 minutes and only started 3

    it's his future game time and his consistency and his ability to score any goals with limited game time in future that would worry me.

    of course, its all just one big game of opinions maaaaaaaan

    Niasse is a f**king hero, how dare you speak ill of the man

    I'll be using him as 1st sub, primarily as cover for injured/rested players over Christmas. For £0.4m more than TPT he 's a perfect fit unless he gets dropped entirely

    It doesn't sit right with me having niasse there as fodder but still only having surman in midfield and no real premium defender worries me

    For anyone going 352 he is a great option as your bench player. He also looks a good option in a 343.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,324 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    His 10 beautiful points are awaiting on my bench for later tonight. At 4.9 for a forward he's a serious enabler for a strong front 7/8. Much more of an enabler than a 4.5m midfielder.

    There might be concerns over long term gametime but I brought him in for this busy period until Jan WC. A new Everton manager wouldn't get away with not using him.

    Surely Otamendi can be classed as a premium defender now?

    Not sure what the general consensus is but he wouldn't be in my book

    Nailed on in the best team in the league by a distance and scores goals, I dont really see how that couldnt be a premium defender??

    Sounds good I’ll look into that thanks

    Otamendi starts for city would you not consider him premium?

    BEst 4.4 defender? I’m thinking wimmer or yedlin?

    Wimmer might not be guarnteed minutes long term. Yedlin a good option but with Elliot you have a cheap option for GK. Other good options: Simpson (his price is expected to drop from 4.5), Francis (banned for 1 match, but should slot back into team) and Dunk. Safest picks are Dunk or Yedlin.

    I have Dunk already.. if Simpson drops I’ll go for that. For now it’s Yedlin getting the nod over wimmer

    IF Hunemeier dropped to 3.8m, I could exactly afford the below team. That front 8 is so tempting, with 2 preimium defenders and 2 playing keepers...

    Elliot - Speroni
    Jones - Christensen - Dunk - Kenny/Marriapa - Hunemeier
    Hazard - Salah - Sane - Zaha - Richarlison
    Morata - Kane - Niasse

    Jones is injured, Christensen is far from nailed, Hunemeier wont play and Niasse may be suspended for two games. Id downgrade Hazard and spread the wealth

    Thoughts on my team? 0.8itb

    Elliot - Courtois
    Smalling - Dunk - Yedlin - Daniels - Tarkowski
    Pogba - Salah - Sane - Zaha - Richarlison
    Morata - Kane - Niasse

    Changes I could make over coming gws with this team:

    Smalling to Jones if he comes back into the team.
    Daniels to Francis to save 0.5m
    Niasse to Wilson

    Also:

    Should I keep Ward, or save 0.2m by bringing in Tarki?
    Should I keep Dilva or chance Pogba?

    Rojo is apparently back soon, might impact on Smalling. Take a look at Mustafi for 5.3, Arsenal have 2 tough games in next 9 and Mustafi has goal scoring potential.

    Your front 8 looks very strong. Bear in mind that Gross (or Choupo) could be a potential saving over Zaha, he hoovers up BPS and is the main man in that team. However CP field of green is very tempting and Roy looks like he's starting to instill some discipline and belief in them. Or look at Fabregas perhaps.

    If you have a strong 5 man midfield you'll have headaches if you go for Wilson as your third striker but over the Christmas period madness it might be a good headache to have.

    Your Defence rotation looks pretty good over the next few weeks as well.
