FPL TV Guide: Your schedule for the best video content ahead of Gameweek 9

b will play more games probably

A

A, no question

Exactly, imagine holding a 12.0m player on the bench for the next 1, maybe even 2 weeks

I'm keeping Salah but I own Bruno already. That said, watch Bruno blank.

You need both these players and if you own Salah already, there may be a strong justification to bench him rather than just two transfers

I must assume its a child if they use the word "casual".

Couple of days ago here was full of people crying like “already took -4 -8 now my team is full of flags with salah robbo chilwell etc etc”. You can easily be one of them after the Portugal game tonight or even after the game while traveling back because of the thing called “COVID”. I understand people selling Salah (I am planning as well based on the swab test result on Thursday) but I do not understand pulling the trigger that early while there are a lot of internationals yet to be played and thousands of miles to be travelled in such a shaky environment.

The problem is the uncertainty. Salah may make Leicester, he may not, but even if he does - there are still a whole round of games for literally anyone else to get injured. What if Chilwell's back ruled him out, Kane broke his leg, Bruno gets COVID etc? Any of those would become more urgent than removing Salah. So even the 'but Player X is definitely out so my transfer is safe' doesn't help in isolation, because, come Friday, you may have no GKs or only 1 defender to field.

All that happens is prices rush up or rush down, and people start to panic that they need to act (perhaps rashly), which exacerbates the transfers.

I'm not aiming this at you at all. Just the whole thing is madness.

Save Salah. It's naiv to take him out because he will most probably play in after this week. Maybe you will loose 0.2 million but in the end Salah will come back and deliver.

Digne

Toss-up between Chilwell and Digne

Chilli followed by Cancelo

Chilwell

Looks nice but really needs Man City to kick into gear.

B

B

Long term B

B with Cancelo?

No chance salah plays

Don’t get your hopes up

Does he only miss 1 GW if this test comes back negative?

two negatives 7 days apart needed 😉

Rash and Chilwell sound like minor injuries, Mitchell you can bench and same with Salah if only missing one game

Chilwell will probably be fine

Lamptey

Probably Lamptey

Probably Cancelo .. given that Doherty will be out and he will be up against Aurier

Looks good, I prefer Watkins over Antonio/Bamford due to upcoming fixtures

Keep, probably yes as he is in contention to play the England game, 8/10

have you got wildcard?

Think someone on the previous page best you lol.

The UN?

why wouldnt you play itxD this is the perfect time

I had 2FTs and TAA, Salah, Wilson as my flags, but also Saiss, Podence, Dier stinking up my team. So fewer flags but as many issues. Decided with the fixture swing next week anyway, i may as well WC to get ahead of the game.

watkins

Kane

Depends on FA Cup runs

ok. do we have our 2nd wildcard by that time? im thinking of free hit this week

ok. thanks. its not awful but if salah and chilwell miss out im probably gonna play it. cant get exited about the weekend if they miss out.

I think your front 8 is too strong, if you don't mind benching hauls every week then fair enough but I hate having benching dilemmas personally.

I'd chuck a 4.5 mid in there or maybe soucek.

Too close to call. I would go with A

Grealish is a must have.

Must admit, leaning towards the Grealish move a little more

If rash is out, then rash to bruno for free??

A minus 4 is fine to do.

Me. It’s easy to be fooled by the fixture rating system but I can only see Shu as you do

Yup - I may even sell Coufal after two GWs of having him.

Disagree, but understand the point of view. I'm looking over the next 12 GWs (but you could extend to 16) and I only don't rate their chances against che, lee, eve and maybe sou. That's 8 out 12 they've got a decent chance. I'll take that for a 4.5m def.

No worse then the fixtures they have had up till now ... bought Coufal based on those performances

Not for me. It's a simple question of priorities, I have 4 midfield slots.

KDB, Grealish, Bruno, Ziyech/Salah are my 4, I like Jota short term, but will go Salah instead next week

He's a good option and will get minutes across the next few weeks along with a couple of starts you'd imagine but I definitely wouldn't say he's a must have. That being said even with his limited minutes he looks supremely confident right now with every touch he takes.

Play? Yes. More than 30 minutes? No.

Son or Kane!

Jack

Grealish (although Ziyech is very tasty too). Villas fixtures swing it for Grealish tho

Correct

I'd hold Kane for this week. But could work out well

I wouldn't.

Cheers guys,that’s what I was thinking. The Jesus hunch is probably from having too much time to mull it over during international break lol

C for me out of those.

I did Burke + Salah > Bruno + Grealish for -4.

Dias is solid, defo first choice over Ake

As I understand it, Ake is competing with Laporte for the LCB position. Dias has RCB pretty much locked up, unless Garcia or Stones come back from the dead.
