Fantasy Premier League 18/19

Think some future planing might be in order. Mane has gone off the boil it seems and I think I'd prefer Salah back for after the City game. I also want Arnie in from GW11 onwards which coincides with Bournemouth's fixtures taking a turn so looking at these transfers over the next 4 weeks to make it happen...

David Silva > Knockaert
Mane > Salah
Fraser > £4.5-£5.0 bench fodder
Wilson > Arnie

Would leave me with a general starting 11 of

Patricio/Foster
Trippier - Alonso - Roberston
Hazard - Salah - Richarlison - Knockaert
Aguero - Mitrovic - Arnautovic
subs: cheap mid/AWB/Bennett

I'll bring Mendy back in for Trippier when he's back in Peps good books too.

I made two transfers:
Mane-Mitrovic OUT
Kane-Hojbjerg IN

My team now:

Hennesey-Speroni
Robertson-AWB-Laporte-Bennet-Shaw
Hazard-Sterling-Fraser-Richarlison-Hojbjerg
Aguero-Joselu-Kane

Bank: 0.5

I did this because Totenham plays home against Cardif and I will put him armband.

Did I make mistake with these transfers?
 
Had an absolute mare this week. Fell from 22k to 77k, although I have 3 players playing tonight so hopefully can claw a little bit back.

Worst decision of the season so far was transferring Magurie out (to help fund getting Richarlison back in) right before a 20pt Haul. Absolute troll. Also didn't go ahead with my gut feeling to get Kane in because of the news that Eriksen n Dele Ali was missing.

Had I done my initial plans I'd be sitting in top 8k now. Instead I'm 77k. Argggghhhhh. :(

Sounds like you made sensible decisions. Hindsight is a killer but if you make more sensible decisions than gut feeling ones you should benefit in the long run.

Someone on Reddit benched Alonso and Robertson, and brought in a bit of a haul with those he put in, but had Alonso not conceded right near the end and scored the header he missed and the chance Robertson set up not missed it wouldn't have looked such a great decision.

Yeah I've had a great start overall so that helps soften the blow. However missing a chance to get in the top 10k this early on is a bit gutting I must say. Especially when my initial gut feelings were the right ones. Always go with your gut people. So angry with myself for not listening to my own sound advice.

Onwards and upwards. I really want that top 10k finish this year.

Time will tell. I doubt it. Think it's an OK short term plan to take out a Liverpool or City player now and get Kane in as Captain for the next two.
I did Aguero>Kane with my FT last night. Will give a solid Captain in the next two GW's. There's international break coming up after next GW I think so will hopefully have time to come up with a plan going forward.
 
Tempted to free hit Aguero to Kane and Firmino to Lacazette for one week. But I kmow I'll regret not having the chip when the DGWs come round.
 
For once I'm doing nowt until Thursday night after the midweek games have all finished.

Aside from my initial transfer plans I quite fancy a punt on someone like Son this weekend (not trading Aguero out for Kane just yet like many others).
 
I'm not sure what to do, now. 2 FTs, and 1,4 in the bank.

Ederson/Hamer
Alonso/TAA/Shaw/Bennet/AWB
Hazard/Richarlison/Fraser/Salah/Højbjerg
Mitrovic/Agüero/King

I'm considering downgrading Salah to someone like Pogba (or someone else entirely), to be able to do King -> Kane. Fraser seems to have cooled down a bit also, but I don't think I'll be able to find better value anyway. Also, Bournemouth have some easy fixtures coming up, so maybe Agüero-> Kane is better, but I can't get myself to pull the trigger.
 
opinions on this.. played WC but here's my team after:

Foster/begovic
cathcart/TAA/Alonso/obi wan/Jonny
Mane/hazard/sterling/maddison/obiang
Vardy/Mitrovic/arnautovic

either Vardy/mitro or keep aguero/jimenez...if its the former i have 0.9 in the bank
 
Impossible to know what to do with Mendy. I'm reluctant to get rid. Sounds more and more like a fallout with Pep was the real reason he's missed games.
Pep said he's training better, which could well mean he is being more professional. Could also mean he plays against Liverpool. If he doesn't though, it's a lot of money to keep tied up.

If I get rid I can work Salah or Sterling into the team fairly easily over the next week or two.

It's different than the norm and well balanced. I like it. I'd put Button in as your cheapo reserve gk though as I believe Ryan is away on international duty in January and he's one that should actually get some game time.

Noted! will look into that! cheers for the input
 
I'm in a weird unfamiliar position ...I've got 2 free transfers (for the second time this season!). I feel like I need to use it but where/who?

Transfer out Ramsey and Moura > not sure. Or try and get Sterling in by doing Mane > Sterling , Ramsey > Richarlison?

Could even aim to switch over next 2 weeks from

D.Silva - Hazard - Mane- Ramsey - Moura
Wilson - Aguero -Kamara

to

Fraser - Hazard - Sterling - Richarlison - Moura
Firmino - Vardy
 
brinnging in Jonny and Jimenez for Schlupp and Rondon was my best play of the week, got 52 points with 2 to play tonight.
 
Took a -4 hit to get in Kane and Maddison for Vardy and Mane

Schmeichel Norris
Alonso Trippier Holebas AWB Bennett
Hazard Maddison Pereyra Fraser Hojbjerg
Kane Aguero Mitrovic

Is he referring to himself as a doctor?

Haha, was thinking that too. Said just recently that it's not a physical problem. Now a doctor said he's fine? Probably just talking about his second personality.
In any case, will take at least two transfers to get him back into the squad.
 
pretty shit game for me that, got 8 points from Zaha, Fraser and Wan-B

Ended on 70 and an OR of about 75k now.

Got a FT and £2.4m banked. Do I get Sterling for Mane?

Ederson
Alonso Trippier Robertson (AWB Bennett)
Hazard Mane Maddison Fraser (Guendouzi)
Aguero Wilson Zaha
 
If I downgrade one of Mendy or Robertson to Bennett I can upgrade Pereyra to Sterling and field this..

Patricio
Mendy/Robertson, Alonso, WanB
Hazard, Sterling, Mane, Richarlison
Aguero, Zaha, Mitrovic

Hamer, Bennett, Guendouzi, Kelly

Seems pretty good?

What about Kane and Richarlison for Wilson and Mane? 4 point hit but Kane is facing Cardiff at home.
 
Salah -> Maddison and King -> Kane?

Still 1,2 in the bank, thus upgrading Hazard to Salah or downgrading Agüero to get Salah back in is an opportunity later on.
 
2nd October


Risers (1)
  • Arnautovic West Ham £7.0

Fallers (10)
  • Oxford West Ham % £4.3
  • Kiko Femenía Watford £4.2
  • Davis Southampton £4.7
  • Hoedt Southampton £4.4
  • Atsu Newcastle £5.2
  • Mané Liverpool £9.9
  • Depoitre Huddersfield £5.2
  • Bernardo Brighton £4.2
  • Ibe Bournemouth £5.0
  • Mings Bournemouth £4.3

Mane :(
 
Arnautovic needs to hold his price now. Want to swap him and Zaha once their fixtures reverse.

By later on I presume you mean the gameweek after because it doesn't get any better than Cardiff and Huddersfield back to back. Those transfers seem a bit short termist to me but it's up to you obviously.

I've been trying to think long term the entire season, clinging on to Salah since the beginning. I simply can't defend his points per mill anymore. But I agree, it's probably gonna bite me. The only other option is to downgrade Hazard or upgrade Aguero, but I'm not sure I want to do any of those transfers either.

Bah, I'll probably just upgrade Fraser to Maddison and save 1 transfer to still have 2 FTs after next weekend.
