Cristiano Ronaldo and the best time to play the first Wildcard in FPL

I don’t know what’s taking them so long tbh - Argentina’s players joined them but not Brazil’s

A

B for me

A

Torres and Jota
and one of the other 2

A short term.

Haha

Antonio and Jimenez IMO 15.4 at present

?

Jiminez very much on the radar , would like to see one more game from Wolves though
Toney - Brentford not that attacking so far , have him and holding but in my set up can bench until GW 7 WC

I'd want to see more solid evidence that Jimi and Toney will be worth having. I think Dennis has done enough to justify at 5.2. He can start in games where your mid-price midfielders play Top 4 sides and Dennis has an easy fixture - maybe one in every 4 GWs.

Haven't you got a naval fleet to be focusing on

Omg what a noob.

Bruno + Ronaldo

LOL.

Think it's a good play.

Wouldn’t sell Salah if that’s part of the plan

I think when you're starting to look that far back, you're just getting lost in numbers.

Trent could easily score more than lukaku or Ronaldo

Big fan too if it had Trent in , so not

defence is pony and half of that midfield could be benched in a few weeks, but otherwise pretty good

Honestly a little confused how your midfield or defence isnt better with funds made from Trent. Maybe moving torres or greenwood down to some of the good 6-7m players like raphinha or benrahma and then getting better and more nailed defenders would look good?

what would you WC too? looks fine to me

Easy hold

If I was WCing I would have a very similar team.. just bruno > ronaldo. Which you can easily do with a -4. So nah, dont WC

Nope he aint

does he have symptoms?

Making bad decisions on and off the pitch. Nothing new.

The kinda logic that goes around Arsenal at the moment.

Always finds a way to let his team down

You still get Covid, vaccinated or not

Shaw crosses a lot and pogba and bruno play a lot of forward balls, I think Ronnie will find his way to usual 4-5 shots per game.

'Not set up'?
All it takes is for Ole to say "Give the ball to Ronaldo".
They're smart people, top-level players. They can figure it out.

Sancho is injured and out of the England match tonight.

I can see Shaw being told to whip the ball in the early for Ronaldo. On the right, not so sure, AWB will try, but maybe Bruno or Pogba will be expected to drift further widen to cross.

Something Az mentioned and Mark followed up with on twitter though, they did adjust when Cavani played last year:

"GW’s 16 to 24 – Cavani earned 7 starts (his best run of the season) and scored 3 goals. United put in 172 open play crosses during that run; only Liverpool provided more in that spell."

No. I think he actually drops faster now. He had been holding around -50 ish on fplstatistics but now he's -81.7.

Still on -81 on FPLstats so could well drop before deadline

Why do you want to be talked out of it? If that's your instinct, go for it

Yeah easy. He’s had no returns so far. Was bang average last year also. Much prefer Sarr over him

Maybe consider why you want him and alternatives for the price. It's your decision.

Good player, but he hardly scores or assists goals which is how we score points. Also, Wolves haven't scored a single goal yet.

I am, but only one of the hits is to get Ronny in.

Going with Bruno(c)

A '-4' and captaining him seems reasonable to me, but I don't see a '-8' paying off - why not just get him a week later?

Nope. I'm staying away from taking big hits this season. I did it last season and got burned big time.

A - 8 to get Ronaldo is a shot in the foot . What are you expecting a brace ? that probably covers your move only .

Tempted but not yet convinced

How long can he stay in-form. One poor game and that's it - curtains.

Yes, but not necessarily immediately.

Probably, but worth waiting to see if it's rotation

Surely

Who’s going to join dier at cb with Sanchez and Romero in quarantine?

nope

Decent plan

The one on pens

B

who's he going to be training with, Fred?

Yep nice and settled in for NC

Are there many players to train with given the international break?

Poor, poor Newcastle

They’re in real danger of getting pummelled in a remorseless 90 minutes of pain

Arsenal fans are in hiding!

Im not an arse fan (xD), but ESR has more attacking threat based off last year

think they are the same, neither of them can shoot but might get the odd pull back to finish off and the odd assist - wouldn't really recommend either tbh

ESR better for FPL

Don’t like selling Son for a hit

I'd expect it to pay off over the next 3 weeks, it's just a case if you want to take the hit now or try and do it for free next week.

Not this week

B for now.
Retro-fit tfrs to leave a route to Rom for GW7>>>

G&J

If picking now, I'd go in that order.

Has Salah travelled during the international break?

it's more like 3 games, but with the price lock I'm happy to wait and leave the panic for if he hauls

Their problem really is sorting out that midfield. Pogba can't defend, Fred isn't a DM, Matic is too old.

I'm not sure it requires ripping teams up for most? Simply swapping Bruno for Ronaldo. Might not work out, but I'm fairly sure in the long run this is the right route, as it's almost guaranteed Bruno loses pens to Ronaldo and that's a good enough reason for a swap. If only for a -4 or for free.
