Burnley’s fixtures easing up – but their defence remains a concern

B

No WC, but I would prioritize Zaha if out. Might take a hit for Gud as well, or you could wait for Rich next week.

Save

B

I like the downgrade of holabas to enable mane to hazard... +1 here

Holebas > AWB
Pereyra > Fraser
Mane > Hazard

You should've just instantly hit the WC button and bought a few guys about to rise.

Obviously team A) whilst being stronger will give me rotation headaches

I like 5 decent in the midfield so I personally would go with B, great team!

A

You might consider Lukaku and use the saving in defence.

Sort out Zaha if he's out. On the borderline of a WC, but think you just about get away not using it. I wouldnt prioritize midfield. Could get Alonso for -4 with Zaha, but with rubbish bench that prob not a great idea. Otherwise its a -8 which is prob a step too far.

Hmmm A

A for me

I guess Fraser's part of your core too then? I think I like B best. I want to like Lacazette but I am still pretty concerned about the minutes. Although I guess if he keeps playing well that probably won't be a problem.

None imo.

Whats the like re Holjberg?

Might not always play mind...

Chances of him retaining his place?

He could be handy, think it is Rico at Fulham that is about to drop, not this guy though...

Dislike no Robbo - I know fixtures toughen up over the next few but he's been fantastic so far and having to use 2 transfers (most likely) to bring back in seems a bit problematic.

Good. Don't like having Ings, Maddison, Fraser because you have no idea who to bench and it's wasted value but that's just me and how I hate having 5th mids/forwards that score when you don't expect it.

I like it except Ings.

Thanks for comments. Perhaps Shaw to Robertson, Ings to Kamara then.

Lots of mythical Pom origin stories. Pomegranate, Prisoner Of Mother England and a few others. But no one knows.

There are a lot of names but I won’t write any,

White fellas

You have Fraser.

Robbo / Mendy will be rotated surely, but you know that.
I don't like the Pool double upon their congestion.

It's close to being good though

Not lovely it's a -8 and it's a move that's chasing points.

No reason to do PVA to Holebas, especially as you intend to bench him.

Just do Wally to Fraser if you must.

No way. His ownership is already 40%. Not enough people are gonna buy him.

Moura and Mitro, possibly Alonso to rise 0.2 for the GW, all already risen once and showing no signs of slowing. Maybe Holibobs too

Probably worthwhile. I don't think Guendouzi would be my 4.5 midfielder choice. I'd rather take Ward and hope he keeps playing OoP or save .1 on Højbjerg but it probably doesn't really matter, they all have their warts.

Considering smth similar, Mhki, Bednarek > Billing, Alonso (-4). Will prolly do that, so id say yes

The hips don't lie.

Crushed under the weight of last week's ridiculous bandwagon

Begovic is the problem

No clue about this case but great to see someone highlight the problem with stats. In this case shots conceded.

They have no real value whatsoever without more info.
Like, you highlight in this case, a heat map to say from where the shots have been taken. Even with that it won’t be enough though.

Yupp. That and a lot of pressure on the opposition taking on shots and/or bodies in front of goal. This year they havent been good enough doing this, hence why xG stats are skewed last season and this season in opposite directions.

Yeah you’re right, xG against was great.

No more or less rotation risk than Mendy

You're removing a player who hasn't blanked yet. Madness.

I wouldn't be getting rid of him for rotation reasons. He is pretty nailed on even with CL coming up

There's always a way.

I'm on a wildcard but no holy trinity. Robbo is out.

You do talk some rubbish

nothing an 8pt hit can't fix, screwed is a big word

How about us wildcarding without the holy trinity?

C

Rudi-Robbo or Trippie next wk?

You're basically playing Pickford every week and Everton haven't kept a single CS

Is this WC team? Wasted Chelsea spot having 2 in DEF without the CS. Also had Pickford but I’m taking him out on a WC to spare 0.5m

If this is a WC team, I wouldn't keep Pickford.. have had him for since the start and Everton look too shaky at the back to keep clean sheets imo

A or B

A

More nailed than Peltier

Definitely not nailed but no other 4.0m defender options atm

You're worried about Dendoncker a CDM that can play CB in the 3 and did in the cup game. Wasn't even on bench last game. I wouldn't worry that much

I prefer Fraser - Maddison is good too but to me he has so far seemed a bit luckier with how he's got his returns. Don't forget Pereyra too - he's out of fashion now because he didn't score in the last match 😉

So 2 minutes?

Wow! You and that Chappel bloke should do a double act.

Get it on You Tube and retire rich and merry. I'll pre-order my subscription.

Next time should look at incorporating a yoga routine, maybe with a something a little stronger to smoke if ye get me...

Wtf was that !!! Lol
Youtube will be better than SC imo.

Mindfulness is sh!te, ASMR is where it's at, you should do one of them

Saving could be wise.

Thinking the same about Mkhi. If he doesn’t start again then will need to go but by then we might have more info on other budget mids, which could make the swap decision easier. Right now, it just seems like a wheel of bad options.

Don’t Get Willian

That's a crazy idea, I wouldn't buy either Pedro or Willian until it becomes more obvious who is nailed

Pedro and Willian may share mins

Thanks All, will likely just hold the FT and hope Mkhi starts and Haz stays quiet !

Keeping for one more

Continuing my policy of never owning in FPL 😆

Waiting a week.

Hoping he comes back next gw and makes impact

Probably keeping to see if he starts next game

Sold after game.

Bit knee-jerk but feels right to me

see what he does until Richarlison is back then stick or twist.

Probably sell. He will be a big rotation risk going forward anyways, dont like to have that im my team.

only need to look 6-8 fixtures out. by then some things will need tinkering and you possibly will have made a few transfers anyway with one eye towards the future.

Depends on the position.

Keepers - long term
Most defenders - mid term
Midfielders and strikers - mid to short term

It depends, some positions I look for very long term options but others I'm happy to rotate over a few. You can't change your whole squad in 6-8 weeks. You should have your season keepers and then other players you rotate over a 6-8 week period. I wouldn't plan on rotating too often because injuries and suspensions happen.

with your other four defenders being premium it seems pointless the splurge the extra cash for Holebas over WanB. surely you would be starting Moura, Maddison or Fraser each week instead of one of those two.

Horrible overspend on defence. There's been articles on how this is never a winning strategy

You've got way too much on your bench mate

3 premium defenders is enough I think.

What happens when Lukaku or Kane become essential alongside Aguero? How many hits needed. Your backline got 2 CS last week

Maddison - good differential
Moura- in a reliable team
