Gameweek 11 Matchday Thread.

as a Antonio benrahma owner I am hugely frustrated with their returns recently

They could play for another 4 hours and Antonio wouldn't score

Origin goal

Trent gets the assist

He was the last player to touch it before Origi

It was just like Foden's 2 goals the other week, he knew nothing about it, but as per the rules of FF it was an assist.

If I owned TAA, I'd have no issue. 🤣

I'm just still salty Ben White wasn't given the assist earlier and TAA was just now. Although both were correct.

3 Hammers goals and no Antonio involvement

you know what will happen the week you get rid of him..........

Since the end of gw3 he's had only 2 returns. From a purely FPL point of view he's not doing enough to keep him.

So who do you replace him with? Whose returning on a consistent basis in a team that is scoring goals, there is nobody, so your in a way wasting a transfer on the hope of whoever you bring in finds form. In all 3 goals today, he might not have gotten the goal or the assist, but he was causing all sorts of issues - both corners, Allison was more worried about him that the ball, and the second goal the ball could have been played to him instead of Fornals.

This season is unlike most others in that there is no stand out striker that you have to have at any price point, it's more sit and hold and they will go on bursts or pick up a goal every few games. I feel like it's a waste of transfer getting a striker because there is not striker in form. Based on the form stat on FPL, Livramento is in better form than every striker in the game - that tells you everything you need to know about them.

Just the 40 points from Trent, Cancelo, James and Ramsdale. Great week and back inside 100k again.

If losing Antonio for an Armstrong or pukki can get you to turn an underperforming mid into Son, it’s worth considering

I can’t understand all the love for Son. He’s hardly a performing mid at his price.

I already dumped Gallagher for Foden two GWs ago and that move has been a mess.

Don't get the Son love atm (and I have him), didn't see the spurs game today but as much as I would love for him to score buckets, he and spurs are in a bad place at the moment. Ideally Conte should drop Kane, but they don't actually have anyone else, so he has to play, but he's been dreadful and he brings the whole team down. Spurs have a great run of games, and if Son had scored this GW, you could potentially see him as a good captain pick against an open Leeds team, but it would be a very punty move based on form.

It's a funny old season, one of the most in form midfield players has ownership of 1.7% - Bowen has returned in 6 of West Ham last 7 games but very few have him.

Yeah son hasn’t set the world alight. He was the second top scoring mid last season and in the last 5 seasons his worst return was 12 goals 8 assists.

if you can get him I would

Would you buy Harry Kane if you could afford him? Based on last 5 seasons he's a definite :P

69 sees me rise from 131k to 81k.

I have a double Brentford sized problem as well as a forward line thats returned 10 points in 2GWs. I have 4.8m and 2FTs to do a bit of surgery, but there isn't anyone leaping out off the page at present. I'll re-assess Thursday week.

I don't think I've ever argued that he's not a good player who will return, my concern was that at his price is he value in comparison to others in the game? Which in reality doesn't make a difference, but if you have more expensive players up top or in midfield going on a scoring spree, he is the obvious player to be downgraded imo.

If you look at Robbo at 7m who plays in the same team and who has gone toe to toe assist wise over last few seasons with TAA - would you say he's value? Probably not, Would you take Robbo at 6m? Again probably not - you would be more included to go for a Chelsea defender because as a team they are tighter in defense.

TAA will return over the course of the season there is little argument there. At this point of the season there is no premium striker who is performing and returning and is a must have, some have shown flashes, if I was WC tomorrow i would probably brining in TAA and go light up top, but that could easily swing if form of high priced players turned. Indeed at the start of the season I had TAA, and sold him in GW4 I think and went big up top with Ronaldo, Lukaku and Auba - has that worked out? probably not.

Anyway it's internationals now - time for a break from FF :)
