Nice team, i hate all the Justin picks

But i have hated it since the start of the season and it has punished me

I ditched Justin as I don't want to be wasting transfers on defenders. You will only get 2 decent fixtures out of him.

Totally agree, though i said it'll only be 4 games at the start and he has returned in the first two

PARlance

Martinez (Steer)
James, Castagne, Saiss (KWP, Dunne)
Salah, KDB, Son, Foden, Klich
Werner, Jiminez (Delap)

Delap may use up a transfer when Brewster gets his move but any points over the next couple of GWs could see a double rise, so I threw him in.

Any last minute advice is not welcome

remoteboy

Last few decisions to make. Current team is

Ryan Martinez
Lamptey Mitchell James Saiss Taylor
Zaha Son Salah KDB Podence
Werner DCL Bamford

.9 in the bank

Need an extra 1.1m to upgrade either Saiss or James to Robertson.

My options are Bamford to Davis (+1.1m)
Or Bamford to Connolly(+.1m) and Zaha to Townsend (+1m)
Or Bamford to Connolly (+.1m) , Zaha to Foden (+.5m), Werner to Martial (.5m)

Also considering KDB to Sterling after the Jesus news but afraid not to go with KDB.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thinking a myself. Downgrading Costa doesn't really help improve the defence all that much to be honest. There's not much in the 5m to 6m bracket of defenders

Ake for city 5.5 is someone I've went with, gives you city cover and a treat from corners and seems to get forward in open play too

Looks a nice team but not sure why you’d go with Aubameyang.

Yeah wondering if him or James/Saiss is a better option.

James more explosive, Ake maybe better long term

I have castegne & Ake, and both playing this week...the way the season has started I have decided not to worry about clean sheets...both guys offer attacking returns...Also PEA is probably someone I'd consider dropping, his fixtures are poor enough

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Oh it’s a wildcard lads I can swap out a few players.

Mike Ehrmantraut

This is where I’m at

Martinez Ryan
Vvd Saiss Taylor Lampety Mitchell
Salah Kdb Son Klich Podence
Werner Dcl Bamford

.8m itb

Any thoughts? Tempted to bring in Foden...

I thought he was a must have given he's a midfielder that scores?

Any Suggestions?

I've ended up with Havertz instead of Mahrez. I just can't go without a Chelsea attacker this week. I might switch to Mahrez next week if he looks sharp as I like the look of having 3 city players vs Leeds.

FHFC

Ryan, Forster
Robbo, Semedo, James, Lamptey, Mitchell
KDB, Salah, Foden, Prodence, Burke
Werner, Jimi, DCL

Done.

Son was the one that I had to sacrifice that I kinda want.

McCarthy has conceded a lot so far in goal. I think they miss Hojbjerg so would consider a change there.

I only have one Liverpool player (TAA) and I'm not particularly happy about that, having none is a pretty big risk imo. Maybe Sarah for Auba?

I ended up wasting .1 by flip flopping off Saiss this morning in a draft I was sure I’d finalised on before jumping back on at the last minute.

Martinez (Steer)
TAA James Saiss (Lamptey, Mitchell)
KDB (C) Salah Son Grealish Podence
DCL Jimenez (Brewster)

I’d personally gamble with Sterling and then look at switching back to Salah in a few weeks if it doesn’t click.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Lads thanks for the help, Saiss was a good shout and someone I didn't look at before! I forget the other changes I made but it's too late now...



Good luck everybody!

All out attack for me.

Went with this:

Martínez, Nyland
Robertson, James, Lamptey, Justin, Dunne
Salah, KDB, Foden, Klich, Burke
Werner, Jiménez, Richarlison

0.2 in the bank. Bit different to the original plan (3-5-2 with Brewster) but took the advice earlier in the thread that Podence isn't a good enough replacement for Jiménez.

I'm sticking with Richarlison over other Everton attackers.

CSF

Wildcard seems to be the thing that turns TAA into a differential for the first time in about a year or more.

He’s still like 44% ownership overall but not hard to see from here and Twitter that he’s now rare in teams that have a blank canvas to work with.

Dearg81

Good to see a few other Brewster owners here. I kind of had to gamble on him after naming my team "The Red Brewster".

For me, it was just the obvious move if you’re going 5 in midfield.

He's been linked with Villa, Palace and Sheffield United. I think Sheffield United would probably be the best move for FPL returns but as long as its a premier league team I don't mind.

I’m a big fan of the late change.

Rikand

Thanks for the advice last night and this morning. Moved away from my strong front 8 but still didnt bring in Werner. Got delap instead just incase he steals a bit of game time and might score some price rises. Can then move to Brewster for a profit if Brewster secures a move away.

Stuck with my rotating keepers. My thinking is what if one of them gets covid. I dont want to be transferring keepers, so having two guaranteed starters means I wont be keeper less at any point of the near to medium term future hopefully.

Downgraded TAA to VVD. And I have 3.2 in the bank now, so money to play with if Werner does become an essential. Kept my 2 everton and 1 leeds. Zaha too incase he keeps his form and gets a move away. Ah sure look, it's only a bit of craic and it's impossible to own everybody

Mr.Nice Guy

I ended up on:

Martinez, (Forster),
TAA, Saiss, James, (Lamptey, Mitchell),
Salah, KDB, Podence, Greenwood, Foden,
Jimenez, Werner. (Brewster)

0.2m in the bank. Came down for me to a choice between 3-5-2 like the above, or 3-4-3 with DCL and Burke instead of Foden and Brewster. I agonised over that decision until the early hours. Greenwood is designed to be a one-week punt. I went with Barnes at the start of the game and definitely want him back for next week, but I figured since I had the funds, and seeing as Greenwood was so good versus Brighton last season, I might as well go this route.

Good luck, folks. At least we don't have to stress about this chip for a while now.

That’s a very nice team.

I’m getting a Werner fear. He’s in a lot of teams today against weak opposition. I dumped him after two GWs. This is the weekend he will go mad surely.

Wanted hold of the WC till next week, but too many fires and price swings for my players, let the fun begin!

Current draft (very similar to above now I look at it!)

Martinez Steer
TAA James Saiss Lamptey Mitchell

Players I would also like are Son and/or Rodriguez. If Werner fails against WB, I’ll downgrade him to Mitrovic and upgrade Foden

How’s everyone’s WC getting on so far? On a solid 15 points so far with the lads above. Can’t seem to get going this season

Abysmal so far. According to the bookies, KDB, Foden and Greenwood were ranked within the top 10 midfielders for scoring odds - I got nothing from any of them. Werner and Jimenez were ranked within the top 5 strikers - nothing there either, although Jimenez managed one in a way I suppose!

I'm not going to panic just yet. Have to hope this week was just a strange aberration.

On 15 as well. Pre-wildcard team would have so much more I'm not going to even work out how much more it would have been.

21 with 3 to go, so many with Vardy in my leagues

Awful but my old team was just as bad. I'm still happy with the team I picked bar double wolves defence.

31 from 8 with 3 pool incl Salah (C) to come, but it's not like "I had Robinson/Bowen in my team all week".

Returns from DCL, Ings, Soucek, Lamptey. Son the main disaster.

Mike Ehrmantraut

The one highlight so far of my wildcard week is Bamford subbing in for Podence

skippy15

WC team
Martinez
Trent Castagne Lamptey
TAA KDB Mahrez Zaha
DCL Jimi MItro

Steer Bisouma Mitchel Justin/Taylor
No united but Mahrez/ Zaha should do job for few weeks, or could change them to Podence/ fernandez if downgrade cast, strange week for it

gammygils

Just drafted this lot. Rather than trying to take hits to sort out my team

Martinez, McCarthy

VVD, Castagne, James, Mitchell, Lamptey

Salah, KDB, Zaha, Barnes, Soucek

Mitro, Jimi, Ricky

£0.0 in the bank. Only 5 transfers involved

25 points with only Martinez, Salah and Robertson left. Only Soucek, Havertz and DCL did anything. Have to put this weekend down to being one of those things. Would never have had Vardy. Haven't decided if I want to get rid of Werner yet, he is the only one annoying me. Bad enough Auba plays on the wing without Werner doing it too!

greedygoblin

10 with captain Salah, Robertson, Martinez & Grealish left. My previous lowest gameweek score in 16+ years playing fpl is 28. Wish i had another wildcard now to undo that one...

Will Grealish take pens this season? I've seen Wesley and El Ghazi above him in order. They got f all pens last season but this season seems like there is going to be plenty

Not sure. There's Watkins to consider too. Could also be ahead of Grealish.
