FPL Q&A: Ings to DCL, keep or sell Barnes, buy Lukaku, and Livramento or Duffy?

Az and Sam have been conducting their weekly Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Q&A session over on our YouTube channel today.

The pair share their thoughts on the most-asked Fantasy questions of Gameweek 3, including whether now is the right time to buy Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) despite the unfavourable-on-paper fixtures.

What to do with Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) ahead of Leicester City’s trip to a Norwich City side that just conceded eight goals in Gameweeks 1 and 2 is also up for debate.

Fixtures and captaincy feature on the agenda, along with the pair’s thoughts on the price change system.

FPL pre-season: Trossard hits hat-trick from wing-back role 1

Tottenham Hotspur’s defence comes under the microscope, as does Harry Kane’s (£12.3m) decision to stay in north London.

And on budget asset watch, Sam and Az pose the four-million-dollar question: Shane Duffy (£4.1m) or Tino Livramento (£4.0m).

    I feel like most of us have nailed our midfield, bar 1 solitary pick. Mine was going with Gundo. There are a few who shot all 4 right, but they are rare.
    Who was your mishap?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Two: Barnes. Buendia.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Oh no a double.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      No Bruno

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Have you got him in for gw3?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Yup

    3. Dogs Of War
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes and Buendia

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Two again. Unfortunate

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes up to this point

    5. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I started with Salah, Bruno, Benny and Mahrez so it is the latter letting the side down, albeit not a disaster. A lot will depend on whether I make the right call with him this week. I suspect a sell then haul gambit is very much on the cards.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah so you were only slightly off greatness.

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes, but still hope he might make up for it partly.

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Buendia, corrected it in GW2

    8. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes and Gundogan.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Corrected after GW1 and GW2 to Greenwood and Benrahma.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Nice stuff.

    9. PartyTime
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Buendia & Mbeumo

      1. PartyTime
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        & Barnes

        1. PartyTime
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Sent all 3 into the waste bin

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Oh that is a shame.

      2. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Guess they both can come good, though

        1. PartyTime
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah but they’re taking too long

    10. Schafsalat
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Hudson-Odoi. And Torres hasn't done much so far either.

      1. PartyTime
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Hudson Odoi?! Are you kiddin me 😆 hahahaha

        1. Schafsalat
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah, I transferred him out now. At least he allowed Tsimi to come off the bench, in that sense he was actually my best midfielder in GW2 :P.

          1. PartyTime
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            🙂 Glad you sold him already. Shouldn’t have been in your team

    11. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I fell like everyone but me have nailed their midfield, defences and attacks, and also cashing in on price rises. Fighting fires drops with Veltman, Omabamidele, Buendia, while missing most trains, ship, boats and whatever.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        And automobiles. Tough luck.

    12. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I've got Leno in goal. Everyone else has done well though.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Haha. Love it when people just hold their hands up.

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Tbh I'm still hoping Arsenal can keep those clean sheets from GW4 onwards, nice fixtures.

    13. el polako
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      So far only Ferran Torres but will keep him until City buys a forward.

    14. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Torres in Midfield but my decision to run with Bamford over Antonio has cost me the most so far.

      Not helped by my decision to play Wilson and WanBasaka ahead of Benrahma last week..

      1. el polako
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        I got Vardy over Antonio, luckily Benrahma sawed my bacon.

        1. Team Bobcat
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          It has been a tough start despite nailing a lot of positions

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Oh bloody hell.

    15. Kun Tozser
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Surely you got Barnes for this week though? On my planner he was the priority

    16. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Gundo

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah him over Greenwood has been annoying but we’re both doing well by the sounds of it.

        1. Shearer & Sutton
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah, was 50/50 call Gundo/Greenwood. Went Gundo because want one City mid.

          Gundo > Raphinha is now on the table. Did already Tsimi > Livramento.

          Otherwise nice start of the season 188 points.

    17. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes over Benram
      then
      Waiting till GW3 to fix

    18. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      jiminez,barnes,torres all rubbish,all gone, w/c gw3

    19. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Just Barnes.

      Defense is where I messed up with both Veltman and White, leaving me with no bench this week.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Oh that’s a slight shame but it sounds like you’re doing it right on the pitch.

      2. I Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Same. Veltman, White and Tsimikas have meant that I'm probably taking a hit this week.

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Contemplating the same. Could do Tsimikas to Livramento for - 4, but not sure it's worth it.

          Might take the risk Tsimikas will play some minutes.

    20. I Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Mahrez but at least he got a return. Salah, Bruno, Greenwood my other three.

    21. FPL Brains

      Buendia 100%

    22. Tin-Tin76
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Buendia instead Of Behnrama..Cause I could afford it

    23. Arn De Gothia
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes and 1/2Son

    24. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Barnes

    25. DonaldDrapier
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I went with a weirdo 4-3-3. Salah, Fernandes, Son and two 4,5s in the bench in the middle. So that has gone well so far. Also had two 4.0s in defence because Tsimikas allowed that. What I liked about it was that I had exactly the minimum tied up in the bench and also managed to spend the whole 100.0. This can't last though.

      Havertz in GW1. Became Pogba GW2.

  3. PartyTime

    Sterling is the ultimate differential this game week. Straight into my team & ready to run in behind Arsenal’s defence with his big booty

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Expecting Sterling & Mahrez to start?

      1. PartyTime
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Sterling, yes.

        Mahrez, not sure.

        1. Chandler Bing
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          How are you so sure about Raz? I wouldn't be. Grealish played alright at LW last GW. If KdB's back, he could play there again.

          1. PartyTime
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Yes but Sterling will start. We’ll see on Saturday.
            Could even play as a forward &Torres benched

            1. I Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 27 days ago

              This is what I'm expecting. Jesus, Sterling, Grealish.

              1. PartyTime
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 27 days ago

                Yeah. Exactly what I expect too. That front 3 is fire

        3 years, 26 days ago

        Need vinegar with all that salt? It's not possible for me to use time to browse through this forum and search if people with similar teams have asked for guidance.

        I asked for tips which means I value others opinions and ideas, as they might bring something new to my thinking. I don't plan to take these tips as orders. Your comment brings no help to anyone and just poisons the air.

    Is Lingard going to West Ham then?

    1. 11 smelly shirts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      That's an interesting one. Eurosport is reporting that he would go. Considering the involvement in the Euro Conference league it makes sense for WHU to have a deeper squad, but right now I see him rather on the bench (which sounds extremely weird after last season)

  9. Champione

    Worth a downgrade in midfield in order to upgrade Veltman > Dias/Coufal/other premium def? 0.0 ITB

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Veltman*
    Salah Bruno Grealish Greenwood Benrahma
    Antonio Wilson

    Steele Tsimikas White Perica

    A) Tsimikas > Livramento
    B) Grealish + Veltman > Raphinha + Dias/Coufal -4

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Not imo & not for a hit. A & reassess next gw. White & Veltman should be back on board by then

    2. Big dog
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      A...start livramento

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 14 Years

      Great mf, wouldn’t touch right now

    4. 11 smelly shirts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      you definitely need a third playing defender. I personally wouldn't go for a hit right now as you can easily solve this issue with A)
      After IB you most likely have White back and might regret if you sell Grealish now

    5. Champione

    Do we feel Kane will start against Watford?

    1. Ser Davos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Yes, because they'll want him to build his fitness as fast as possible I'd guess

        Might even get minutes tomorrow

  11. Ser Davos

    Bachman over Sanchez (plus Raya/Schmeichel)
    Barnes, Buendia, Mane (over Trent)
    No Antonio

    Usual selection of early mishaps

    Hi,

    Mahrez to:
    1) Son (previous plan), or
    2) Behrama? So I will have a lot of extra M to upgrade my squad including Brownhill.

        I almost did #2 yesterday then I calmed down.

        Now I must decide before price rise again today.

        1. House Frey Wedding Planner
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          I would have done Mahrez out for one of Benny/Sarr/Raph anyway in gw4 but FOMO is kicking in.

          Plus surprisingly none of the top 15 in my ML have Benrahma so it seems logical to make the move

            • 4 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            I have Coufal and Antonio at start, would take Benrahma too if not because I have 2 from WHU.

            I want Son more actually, especially next game against Watford, but extra cash will be very useful. Haha

              • 6 Years
              3 years, 27 days ago

              Haha I have Coufal and Son as well and will be doing triple West ham from gw3-7.

              Pressed the button on Benrahma and it's done now - have to attack the West Ham fixtures while they are red hot

      Benrahma's going up tonight so make the decision today Mr Billy!

          • 4 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          It's ok, yesterday I almost brought Benrahma, now I prefer Son. Just extra cash will be very useful.

          Or maybe just stick to original plan. Bring Son now then Ings--> DCL next gameweek.

    Does kane have a chance of a cameo tomorrow not in the Europe conference league for extra fitness?!

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I would think so.

      Spurs have to overcome a deficit as well so I don't think it would be a complete overhaul from the league line up like the 1st leg

  16. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years

    What do we think of this move?

    Veltman + Buendia + Mahrez > Livramento + Gray + Son (-4)

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Son will be (C) also.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Like it alot.

    2. Jdpz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Veltman to Livramento for a hit is not good move for me.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        I can’t get Son without this move. I don’t like the 5.0 mid options.

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Good moves

    4. Arn De Gothia

      I think I would

  17. Old Gregg

    Sanchez
    Taa-Shaw-Tasimikas
    Bruno-Mahrez-ESR-Benrahma-salah
    Antonio-Ings

    perica-White-Veltman
    2FT 0.5 ITB

    Which move please

    A) veltman + Tsimi + mahrez > livromanto + B Williams + Son (-4).
    This Leaves the exact money for Ings > DCL in Gw4

    b) Veltman + mahrez > reguillon + Rapha\greenwood.

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      A cos Son.

    2. Arn De Gothia

      B. You can’t afford a after dcl rise?

      1. Old Gregg

        plenty of money left with B.

        With A. Zero money left for any rise

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 14 Years

    Hows the WC looking?
    Meslier
    TAA,James,Coufal
    Salah,Greenwood,Raphinia,Benrahma
    Lukaku,DCL,Antonio

    Foster,Coady,Bissouma,Livramento 0.2m itb

    1. Henryyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Looks good

      You think Lukaku will outscore Bruno GW 3-6?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Maybe , maybe not.
        I won’t be captaining Bruno though.

    2. Old and Slow
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Looks good.... Not sure if want Coady first off the bench there on wc... But sweet starting 11

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yeh struggled with that spot.

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Couple of Spurs players wouldn’t hurt …Dyer or Son…personally I would go for Kane. Have feeling he’ll be on fire.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Kane has crossed my mind but is he going to even start?

      2. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Coady could be Dier.

      3. Indpush
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yes

    4. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Looks good. I’ve WC this week and have kept Salah & Bruno whilst brining Lukaku in

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yeh I have a Salah,Bruno,Lukaku draft but means no DCL or Chelsea defender.

      2. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        It’s similar to your draft. Only have Gray and Ayling in a 3-5-2 .
        Something like
        Sanchez
        TAA,Coufal,Ayling
        Salah,Fernandes,Raphinia,Benrahma,Gray
        Lukaku,Antonio

        Foster,Duffy,Livramento,Obafemi.

        1. George Agdgdgwngo
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          This is me.

          Sanchez
          Taa, james, Reg, 4.5 (undecided)
          Salah, Bruno, benny, raph
          Lukaku, Antonio

          Gunn, livra, Bissouma, Obafemi

      Wow early WC!
      What happens if Kane rips it up in the next week or two?
      Nice squad 🙂

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        I always go early. A week later than last year.
        I’m not confident Kane starts.

      2. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Which one do you prefer from the two?

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Too early to say, I am jumping on players once they show good form.

    In your opinion who are the best two MFs to have out of this lot for the next few GWs

    Greenwood
    Rapinha
    Gray
    Norgaard
    Gilmour
    Harrison
    Grealish

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 6 Years

      The first two

      1. Shearer & Sutton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        +1

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      On present form Raph & Green but there is always talk of a Greenwood benching but Grealish as an alternative does not put the mind anymore at ease in that respect

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      1&2

      Yes

      A Sun Dream Team question that hopefully, somebody on here can help with.

      If I make transfers on the 30th or 31th of August (next Monday and Tuesday) they will be pending until after the international break. So will they count against my 5 transfer allocation for August or September ?

      1. Indpush
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        August transfers and pending until Friday September 3rd, 7am UK time. You can make those August transfers right up to just prior 7am on the Friday. After that September transfers come to all managers and any unused August transfers are wasted.
