Fantasy Premier League 18/19

Before today he was averaging 8pts a game. That's more than his average from last season. He returned in every game before today as well.
Maybe that’s because Mane has been scoring all the time that I get the wrong impression then.

Mitrovic!
 
I can’t feckin believe it. Got rid of Firmino for Zaha. And benched Ings who now just scored as well. feck my life.
 
Alonso is ridiculous. Absolute must have.
I just brought him in, but I was a little reluctant as it felt he's due a few blanks and his price has gone mad. Glad I did though... Like you say, he's must have at the minute. Highest scoring player in all positions by some margin now.

Out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know the most expensive a defender has ever been?

I think I remember Alonso at 7.2
 
Ya will have to shoehorn Alonso & Mitrovic in now for feck sake.
I think I'll bin off Arnautovic for Mitrovic and free up 0.4m in the process. The question is, do it now and risk international injuries, or do it nearer the time and risk price changes...
 
Operation Sell Salah off to a nice start.

Ings staring at me from my bench though. :(
 
who to get in for Zaha is a real dilemma, quite a few budget striker options and Mitrovic has city away next

Now I would say. More likely to face difficulties with price raises than with potential international duty injuries
 
I've had a decent GW here, 63 with Miki to play. My Chelsea trio of Haz, Luiz and Alonso did the business for me.

Hoping Zaha's okay so I don't need to spend a transfer.
 
55 with Lucas Moura & Mkhitaryan to play. Dunno what the average will be but i expected better as i used the wildcard. Knew i should've gone with Bennett/Shaw over Wan-Bissaka.
 
Got 51 with another 5 from Bennett coming off the bench and Mkhi yet to ploy. only regret is switching Captain from hazard to aguero last minute.

Baines was over 8m in 10/11 and constantly used to be in the high 7's.
 
I think I will get Alonso now too.

Tosun pisses me off. Think I will trade him for some mediocre striker who will never play and put Alonso in defense. I will take the 4 point hit and then will try to upgrade Bernardo Silva in midfield as it seems like he might go back to the bench.

Mitrovic is great as the lone striker. Had him at the beginning, traded and now got him back. Getting Hazard was a great move too.
 
Captained Aguero today was hoping he'd get a couple or so past Newcastle just the one assist. Need to stop picking Salah for V/C over Mane when Mane is one delivering more at the minute. Charlie Austin cost me -1 point the idiot, in a game they won and he missed a penalty. Didn't even know they docked points for that thought it was just red cards.
 
So I've done the unthinkable and removed Salah from my team. Used my wildcard to make some big changes. My team was

Ederson Foster
Mendy Robertson Alonso Daniels Bissaka
Salah Mane Walcott Neves Stephens
Aguero Wilson King
Now, it is
Ederson Bettinelli
Mendy Robertson Alonso Trippier Bissaka
Hazard Mane Mkhi Neves Seri
Aguero Wilson Mitrovic
My defense is super strong now and I have also upgraded my midfield at the cost of losing Salah. Will bring Salah back after his tough run of fixtures end. Hopefully he won't score a bucketload of goals in the meantime.
 
Really want to get Trippier in too. My only concern is the amount of rotation Poch makes at full back, especially with the CL approaching.

Think I've got around 55, but all players played. Have no Spurs or Arse players, feeling that will bite me in the arse by the end of today. Also, I've been forced to get Alonso in. The man is an FPL machine.

I've activated mine and ditched Salah too. Maybe a tad rash but I want on the Alonso/Hazard bandwagon before it's out of my price range.

Yeah that problem is always there but I think Trippier has become too important to rotate often. It's worth the risk as he can get a goal or assist and also get bonus points.

The good thing with Salah is that he is already too costly so there's not much chance for his value to increase further. So we can always get him back for the same price.
 
63 points with Trippier, Lucas and Aubameyang yet to play.

If the latter doesn't score against Cardiff, then I'm getting rid. I've got a 3 transfer plan to get Kane in.

Alternatively, could go for someone like Mitrovic and then suddenly have an extra 4-5million to upgrade on one of my midfielders to an Eriksen or someone and a defender to Alonso.
