General FPL Chat 2018/19

Paully D

Mark Sutherns has played his wildcard.

He has compiled 2 proposed draft teams.

The first one IMO is worse than his current side and there’s an argument there regarding his second one.

Lots of players he moved on were dropping in value and lots of players he wanted were rising so I can’t really blame him as he has saved near enough a million in value.

Interesting one. He probably could have gotten close to where he wants to be with a -8 this week and a -4 next week though.

Yeah it was interesting, I liked the second team more but I don't get his obsession with the cheap Arsenal midfielder as I think there are better options out there. I think you are right that well-planned hits would have sorted him out and as Jonty pointed out he will find it tough to get Kane in should he start firing goals in soon. However, he has had a woeful start, think he benched Mendy on the first gameweek which meant that he had something like 30 points on his bench in the first week. So maybe he felt that he just needed a clean break with a wildcard.

Surprised he used it so early on, it must have been a mess.

I ended up doing a -8 this week at 4k due to missing the Alonso rise on Sunday but couldn't justify doing a wc with 2 ft.

Interesting weekend ahead indeed!

Does Jamie Jackson work for Guardian?

Just asking for a friend.

Only a 1 match ban as it wasn’t violent conduct so he’ll serve the ban for the league cup match midweek and be available again for premier league at the weekend

Ah thanks for pointing that out lads - thought I had no option but to transfer him out - can reassess now.

Getting Zaha in for King so don't have the money for Walcott - any thoughts on Bernard as option for next 2 games?

I'm loathe to miss out on those next 2 Everton fixtures..

Anyone know where I could watch MOTD online?

David Luiz is nailed on yeh? Need to get Chelsea cover for their next two fixtures. Luiz 5.5 I can afford Rudiger but rather bank the extra 0.5m

Alonso looks essential at this stage. I kept thinking his returns would end last season and didn’t get him in. This year I haven’t made the same mistake and got him in for this GW.

His statue like defending for the first goal would not fill you with confidence so I could see him getting dropped for Christensen soon.

He will outscore any other Chelsea defender by 9 points today. There is no-one who can’t be afforded in this game. That’s why you have 100 mil!

-=al=-

I think I brought him in some point last season and he didn’t do too much, but done a -8 to get him him this week and might have gotten away with it.... Especially with Mitro doing well today too.

3/3 double digit returns is very impressive for a defender, can he make it 4/4?

Not sure if Luiz covers him as his attacking returns are what he’s in for. The clean sheets are optional!

Has to be TC next week, Aguero home to Newcastle

With Hazard back starting the annoying, and predictable, rotation between Pedro and Willian has started.

Will maybe take another 2-3 weeks before Sarri realises Willian is much the better player which is annoying as a Pedro owner.

Will leave Pedro in for another 3-4 weeks and see what happens.

Just watching MOTD now.

Just seen the Richarlison red. Fairly pathetic. Thought Smith was a prick for walking up to him.

Was delighted to see Smith sent off after his involvement in the Richarlison red.

I haven't seen it yet. Is it appeal worthy? He could then miss 1 game which would just be the league Cup I think?

Paully D

There’s not a hope in hell that would get overturned on appeal IMO.

It was soft but idiotic.

He technically deserved it but you’ll struggle to see a softer red this season.

The kind of one in hindsight where you’d have preferred to deck him and take the red.

Dang.

Well guess I'll just hope he drops in price again whilst Walcott rises.

Nobody made Richarlison push his head into Smith though. His own fault and fully deserved the 3 match bad for an idiotic move.
