    Kepa
    Gabriel - Hall - Robinson
    Salah(c) - Palmer - Semenyo - Rogers - Saka*
    Havertz* - Cunha*

    Flekken - Pedro - Konsa - Faus*

    Faus - Saka - Cunha > Trent - Amad - Isak

    Worth the -8?

      What's up with Havertz?

      1. VaVaVoom

        14 hours, 19 mins ago

        nothing - that was a typo - although i guess his minuites are under treat with jesus banging

  2. aapoman

    3ft and 1.1itb

    Fabianski
    Saliba Gabriel Robinson
    Salah Palmer Saka* Mbeumo
    Cunha JP Raul

    Flekken; Rogers, Mykolenko, Greaves

    If Cunha is available how would Raul + Saka -> Isak and Sarr sound? Leaves 2.5itb and 2ft for gw 19.

      i would, or amad

    Morning All,

    Thoughts on:

    Saka + Greaves > Odegaard + VVD for free?

    1. Udogie-style

      14 hours, 20 mins ago

      Ok but would be better if you could get TAA. Maybe find a budget mid option.

    2. VaVaVoom
      • 7 Years
      14 hours, 17 mins ago

      Prefer Trent and Amad or Sarr if you dont have already

    3. WVA

      Missed the Saka and Greaves drops and don’t love either Ode or VVD

    Martinelli is tempting me. Thoughts?

      Do not give in to temptation!

        Have always fancied my busty neighbour. What should I do?

          Manboobs are never attractive, my advice is to keep reminding yourself of this!

    2. theshazly

      Did JP, Saka >> Isak, Martinelli for a hit

    3. Nomar

      Same here, I think he could do serious damage against Ipswich

    4. Steavn8k
      • 1 Year
      13 hours, 39 mins ago

      Likely alternative for me as well to cover Arsenal offence. Also just due to lack of other good alternatives to Saka.

  5. Udogie-style
    • 1 Year
    15 hours, 17 mins ago

    Current mid
    Salah, Palmer, Saka, Bruno, Enzo

    Attack:
    Cunha, Pedro, Jackson

    If Cunha banned was going to do Saka to Diallo and Cunha to Isak

    But that leaves me with two MUN mids. Next time i could do Bruno to another mid. Worth doing this, or is there a better option at Diallo's price?

    Cheers

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      14 hours, 18 mins ago

      Rogers is the alternative option if you don't want double United mids

      1. Udogie-style

        Cheers. Yes did consider him but wasn't sure due to fixtures. Could rotate with Enzo and Pedro nicely.

      Basically peak template attack once you get Isak in.

      The Saka replacement is an open bag as once you've got your players then no one stands out as a proper consistent replacement to Saka, everyone is a downgrade that won't be quite as good.

      I'm doing the differential move to someone like Gordon or Son or Sarr etc and then how they do well enough that they become the template

    Sort of mad that Haaland has only scored 3 goal and 1 assist in 12 games yet is still the top scoring forward, or 1 goal 1 assist in the last 6 games, and is still ahead of second place by 4 points.

    The most jekyll and hyde performance ever jin FPL

    What to do here?

    Fabianski
    TAA Robinson Timber
    Saka Palmer Salah Bowen Enzo
    J Pedro Jackson

    Pickford Cunha Mazraoui VDB

    A) Saka + Cunha to Amad/Odegaard and Isak
    B) Saka, Cunha and J Pedro to Amad/Odegaard, Isak and Jesus -4pts
    C) Something else

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 8 Years
      14 hours, 5 mins ago

      Cunha to Jesus just

      1. Kaneyonero

        14 hours, 3 mins ago

        Oh wait Saka to Bruno maybe and Cunha to Jesus might be good

    Bowen vs Southampton thoughts?

    Southampton a better defensive side since managerial change?

      *Southampton a better defensive side for having Rambo back in goal

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        13 hours, 55 mins ago

        I would also give credit to their defence as they did keep Fulham to under 1xG

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Far too early isnt it but I think Rambos a top 6 keeper playing in a top 6 Championship defence.

          1. Tonyawesome69

            A bit of a stretch, more like bottom half PL quality imo. Makes too many mistakes

            His Arsenal stint showed how untrue that is

  9. SpaceCadet
    • 11 Years
    14 hours, 57 mins ago

    Best option here? Diaz could be Bruno or Maddison, just seeing if a hit makes sense to improve the bench. 1ft, 0.3m itb

    A. Saka > Diaz
    B. Saka greaves > Diaz vvd-4

    Sanchez
    Gabriel gvardiol Robinson
    Salah palmer semenyo rogers
    Isak Jackson pedro

    Valdi Saka greaves faes

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 8 Years

      Not just go with A

    2. Stimps
      • 11 Years
      14 hours, 53 mins ago

      I'd rather Bruno instead of Diaz for safety of minutes

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 11 Years
        14 hours, 37 mins ago

        And avoid the hit?

          Diaz is a terrible choice.

    Fabianski, Flekken
    Robinson, Gabriel, Lewis, Mykolenko, Greaves
    Saka, Palmer, Salah, Bruno, Enzo
    Delap, Jackson, Cunha
    FT: 2, Bank: 0.2
    A. Saka, Cunha -> Sarr/diaz, isak
    B. A + Mykolenko -> TAA (-4)
    C. Any other

  11. Stimps
    • 11 Years

    Is Evanilson or Pedro to Isak (-4) worth it?

    Or just do it after this GW?

    How did Gabriel Jesus get himself on 4 yellows lol. He's barely featured before this week

    1. g40steve

      In the early game weeks

      1. Jimmy B

        • 10 Years
        13 hours, 55 mins ago

        I havent got his stats in front of me so could be wrong but feels like hes probably played in total minutes the equivalent of less than 4 matches this season

    2. el polako
      • 7 Years
      13 hours, 55 mins ago

      Not by taking his shirt off after scored goals, then he would be only on 2 cards…

    3. Black Knights

      Thought the same, and now i've looked it up.

      Bookings in:

      5 minute cameo v Wolves, GW1
      3 minute cameo v City, GW 5
      5 minute cameo v Liverpool, GW 9
      90 minutes (whaaaat?!) v Forest, GW 12

      He got to 4 YCs in 12 GWs (despite only featuring in 10 of them), at which point he'd played 211 minutes. So one every 53 mins, on average.

      Remarkable stuff.

    Decided Bruno is my Saka replacement.

    For my team, I didn't have the luxury of short term transfers with only 1FT, still have Cunha to replace at some point and wanted to build my FTs towards future doubles/blanks as soon as possible.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      13 hours, 51 mins ago

      Good move, watching the highlights he’d of had a hatty on a different day.

      1. Jimmy B
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        13 hours, 47 mins ago

        Hes had a few of those days already this season. Could have had two hatties in GW1

    2. mookie
      • 11 Years
      13 hours, 44 mins ago

      Good move! Got some good chances yesterday, but his finishing was poor.
      I went for Amad, but might get him as well soon.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        13 hours, 37 mins ago

        Already have Enzo and Rogers so would have felt a bit awkward with 3*5.0m ish mids in my team.

        1. mookie
          • 11 Years
          13 hours, 34 mins ago

          Understandable. I went for Amad to leave the Haaland option open in case I want to throw away my season. 😉

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      13 hours, 41 mins ago

      Looks like a really good move
      You know Bruno will be among the top scoring mids come season end, even if someone like Jota, Diaz, Foden outscores him in one of the single GWs coming up

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        13 hours, 33 mins ago

        Those 3 weren't options for me. Don't see high mins for ADiaz/Jota over the next 3 and I don't like City/Fodens form, too much of a gamble to go there

    4. sankalparora07
      • 1 Year
      13 hours ago

      Not sure about Bruno.....Amad is 3m cheaper and has almost the same xGI.....I think money could be put to better use..... Regarding minutes risk, I think Amad right now is the best attacker in MUN team.....I would be very surprised if he misses any of the PL games going forward

      MUN have lost the last 3 games and are in disarray.....I personally am going Gordon (already have Isak) as my Saka replacement and upgrading my 4m defender to Trent by taking a -4

    Might drop off double Ars defence to Munoz?

    Sarr catches the eye but Mateta needs to gain more form

        Gordon?

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      14 hours, 35 mins ago

      Anyone got some good arguments for a Saka replacement?
      Maximizing points, not arguing prices to spread around rest of team here.

      My thinking is this:

      Bruno ovverated FPL asset, and Man U not consistent
      Ødegaard not as good without Saka
      Rest of Gunners mids too punty / min risks
      Maddison min risk
      Kulu not an FPL asset
      Son out of form
      City just not even in consideration
      Bowen too bad fixtures short term

      Gordon ?
      Mbeumo ?
      Jota / Diaz ?

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 4 Years
        13 hours, 28 mins ago

        Still think Bruno is your best bet

      2. Captain Mal
          13 hours, 27 mins ago

          Gordon inconsistent and not the main man in Newcastle's attack.
          Jota/Diaz minutes risk.
          Mbeumo tough fixtures but probably the best out of those.
          Unless you are willing to pay for Bruno, which I understand you aren't, I think it's better to go cheap with Amad or Sarr and invest the money elsewhere.
          Also, Johnson seems to have lost his spot in the starting eleven. If Kulusevski becomes a regular in the right wing position, he could become an option.

          1. Jimmy B
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            13 hours, 24 mins ago

            Is there not an argument that Bruno and Odegaard become very similar assets if Odegaard gets the pens which you'd assume he does?

            1. Captain Mal
                13 hours, 20 mins ago

                Bruno has many routes to points (set pieces, mid/long range shots, through balls, late runs in the box, etc.) while Odegaard has little threat from open play, especially without Saka.

                1. Jimmy B
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  13 hours, 7 mins ago

                  I think you've literally just described Odegaard to me there. Maybe not the late runs into the box. Bruno scores from range about as much as Odegaard i.e. rare. Odegaard presumably does get the set pieces as the next in line penalty taker and the only other lefty in the attack for Saka's corners on the right. We don't know regards impact without Saka yet but the same argument applies to Jesus, Trossard, Martinelli etc

                  1. Captain Mal
                      12 hours, 59 mins ago

                      Yes, and Saka's impact is the exact reason I have no interest in any other Arsenal attacker either, not to mention I might need the 3rd Arsenal slot for Saka at some point, so I'm essentially booking a transfer in.

            2. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              13 hours, 25 mins ago

              I really want Mbeumo back, nice nailed safe pick on pens but tough fixtures

          2. Atimis
            • 8 Years
            14 hours, 26 mins ago

            Tempted to just go Sarr but at the same time having Pool, Arsenal and City FOMO considering their fixtures. Anyone cracked it yet?

            1. Captain Mal
                13 hours, 26 mins ago

                I'm happy to ignore all of them. Sarr is my number one target right now, Amad and Kulusevski under consideration as well.

                1. Atimis
                  • 8 Years
                  13 hours, 23 mins ago

                  Kulu could be nice but Palace with better fixtures right now

              • Norco
                • 10 Years
                13 hours, 25 mins ago

                I've gone Sarr and if Haaland form with City comes back then have decent chunk of funds to pretty much upgrade Cunha to Haaland and Mbeumo to Rogers

                Good pick for his price point. Good mins, good underlying data and have the fixtures.

              Is TAA worth a transfer for any of these, already got a defender headache.

                  Only Hall makes sense, the other three are season keepers.

                    Could consider Timber to TAA as Hall and Robinson were doing better for less

                  No Pool's defence looks broken post Konate injury.

                    They have kept CS against Man City and Girona post Konate injury

                      Was just about to write this - they look solid to me. Nobody keeping clean sheets anyway

                        The nobody keeping cs argument wouldn't really put you on to the most expensive defender in the game would it? 3 against Spurs, 3 against Newcastle, 2 against Fulham. Girona should have had a few. Pep set up City to try not to get spanked, they offered nothing in attack really. They aren't as solid imo.

                  Unpopular opinion but I don’t think Trent is worth it. His points considering his value are not high when compared to other defenders significantly cheaper but you then have to make sacrifices elsewhere because of budgetary pressure

                It's going to be a tough GW for those who went with budget defenders.

                  I am debating Alisson in for Raya and Timber in for somebody giving me double Liverpool and double Arsenal defence

                  Hey?

                  Robinson Munoz Kerkez Hall all have decent fixtures, Greaves doesn’t play.

                    Yeah, I'm also on cheapies(except Timber), but not feeling confident this GW.

                Saka>Bruno too much if I already have Amad?

                  I am going to get the price rise for Amad and transfer out to Kulusevski - just need to hope his price rise happens before Kulu’s

                Question for those considering/moving to Gabriel Jesus.

                He played midweek aswell as this weekend, do we really think he plays the next 2 considering the fixture congestion & he’s only coming back into the team?

                How likely is another Aina price rise before Boxing Day? Hoping for another to downgrade and pocket the 0.1 and he’s already on 10% and going up fast but a double rise seems unlikely

                  It will slow down the next few days, defensive players do not tend to go up twice in a GW as not many people do defensive transfers unless there is a mass exodus of a highly owned player + differential inform defender. Neither is the case for Aina so I think you will be fine
