    Keep isak or get cunha?

    1. hazza44
      • 12 Years
      3 hours, 58 mins ago

      Probably not worth trading. Not another fwd you can trade for Cunha?

      1. ran
        • 3 Years
        3 hours, 54 mins ago

        Currently have isak, wood and pedro.

        Tempted to get cunha in for better fixtures as isak has pool in gw14.

      Sideways transfer unless you need the money.

      1. ran
        • 3 Years
        3 hours, 50 mins ago

        Don't need the money. Just thinking about the fixtures for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

        Isak - CRY (a), LIV (h), BRE (a)

        Cunha - BOU (h), EVE (a), WHU (a)

      Depends on the FT you have. I would if have a few, and get him back for wood gw15. Or wait a week and sell wood

    Haaland doing what he has been doing since his hat-trick (second one) in the PL this season. Overperforming his xGI in non-PL competitions (see for example international duty) and underperforming his xGI in the PL.

      Brilliant

      Keep it that way son!

      Tbf those who had him to start had a huge boost in the first 3 weeks.

    I understand the accuracy metric on LiveFPL is not about the number of successful predictions, but I don't understand the True Alarms metric. Is this the percentage of successful predictions? It doesn't sound like it to me:

    "We also report the percentage of true alarms predicted by LiveFPL. This means for example the number of rises that happened divided by total number of rises predicted. For falls, we only include players above 1% ownership in this metric. From our experience, the best a predictor can have for the true alarm metric is ~60-70% (especially for falls)."

    Anyone with a brain able to help me understand it?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 hours, 18 mins ago

      They are saying they work out the proportion of rises.

      Fallers are harder to predict so for any player owned by more than 1% the accuracy range is 60-70% over the longer term.

      Hence better predictions for rises but it's going to have an error range.

      I think!

      1. Deulofail

        I don't even understand your first sentence lol. Maybe I am a total thicko.

        You mean they want to know how many rises there were compared to how many they thought there'd be? Not sure I see much value in that. And I don't see why 70% would be the max, as if 5 players rise, and you predicted 4 would rise, you are already at 125%.

        Thanks for this. At least they are transparent, unlike *cough* hub in there accuracy, just just FFFix.

        There AI algorithms are manually inputted. The algorthms are not AI, so what is AI?

        Like Amazon AI shopping viasco whth 10,000 indians looking at their good on cameras, and taking 1 hours to get a recepit.

        Or Microsoft AI, and Google Gemini AI, just copying and pasting AI content. I got one nabbed of Reddit (as Google own a lot of shares). I dont mind, but it is copywright theft, but it isn't, as there is no copyright theft for AI searches.

        I knew it was mine, as I have missed spelt a couple of words.As I do. Even though my scientific theory is "probably" the most accurate as it stands today, but it presents it as fact on the AI search. Very dangerous

      Not sure if it's worded correctly but I think the true alarms is calculating the true positives (rise) and true negatives (falls) of each prediction

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        1 hour, 57 mins ago

        Thanks Tony, and what is a true positive in your view?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years

          "Number of rises that happened divided by total number of rises predicted"

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            1 hour, 44 mins ago

            And what does that tell you? You have just C&Ped the thing that I don't understand haha

            Let's try a hypothetical example:

            Number of rises this week: 10
            Number of rises predicted: 9
            True positives for the week = 1.11

            I don't know how the 1.11 figure related to the phrase "true positive", not why it would be limited to 50-60%. Clearly, it's over 100% in the example. Something's not right

    I'm too scared to get rid of Haaland

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      4 hours, 5 mins ago

      I got rid of him this GW. Haven't felt better the entire season. Trick is to plan it in a way that is not difficult to get him back.

    2. Stimps
      • 11 Years
      4 hours, 5 mins ago

      Get rid and get him back in 18. I dont think he'll score vs Liverpool

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 hours, 43 mins ago

        Why get him back? Your team is so much better without him. To get him back you have to get rid of half your team plus several premiums who will continue to haul throughout the season.

        Once I cut the chord with him I haven’t thought about going right back to square one by having him again, even if he starts firing once more.

        1. Drizzle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year

          Just remain flexible. Other premiums can get injured or lose form , so keep options open.

    3. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      3 hours, 52 mins ago

      I've been meaning to get rid of him for weeks but constantly had to deal with other issues. My hesitation has cost me a million rank places I reckon. At least.

      Now, I don't care if he pops off. I've spent the money elsewhere and my team is finally starting to look pretty good.

      There are different ways to play this game, in one of ml's the leader by quite a margin has never owned Haaland.

      Start 3 defenders:

      Digne CHE(A) , Pau CHE(A),
      Burn CRY(A), Van Dijk MCI(H),
      Saliba WHU(A) ?

      Does B.Johnson start this week? Contemplating if him to Saka is worth a -4

      1. Funkyav

        need to see mins this eve first

        1. Funkyav

        Im going to get rid for saka mate. Even if he looks like he could start this weekend I dont like how he was benched last game, mins risk. Need nailed starters over this period.

    • Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Is Mykolenko to Colwill or Van Hecke worth a transfer this week?

      1. jthmt
        • 2 Years
        3 hours, 53 mins ago

        what about dunk?

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 hours, 51 mins ago

          No sure he will start though

      2. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 9 Years
        3 hours, 52 mins ago

        If Mykolenko is your 4th or 5th then no. Don't waste FT's on bench players

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 hours, 52 mins ago

          Should have mentioned that I need to play him or Lewis this week

          1. Pep's Money Laundry
            • 9 Years
            3 hours, 45 mins ago

            That changes things a little

            Either of targets could be good moves, both also have good fixtures too. I would probably punt on Colwill long term fixtures

            1. Gazza2000
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 hours, 42 mins ago

              Yeah like Colwill as well but I do see Chelsea concede against Villa though, maybe it's better to roll and get him in next week or later.

      Pras telling FPL Schofield to get Bruno over Saka last GW.

      And now in his latest YouTube vid he’s just said “my view on Saka remains the same, it has been all season, don’t go against him, he is the premium pick”

      Loooool

        Found it https://www.youtube.com/live/Ty5J7EHLVlc?t=5146s
        Tbf he says to buy Saka in GW14 because Bruno has 2 good fixtures and Saka was a doubt

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          1 hour, 19 mins ago

          i took a hit to get in Isak, as i wasnt sure of Pedro minutes. It is what it is. would be 15 points up as the other defender was Timber/Gab and not Digne.

          It was only advice.

          Now Saka is playing, I could transfer Bruno to Saka this week, but I will wait until GW14 now.

          Bruno maybe another Bmeumo. Point hauls at home only??????

      Raya
      TAA Konsa Robinson
      Salah Palmer Mbeumo Rogers
      Watkins Isak Cunha

      4.0 Greaves Lewis Semenyo

        TAA down to a 4.5 and Semenyo to Saka -4? (not sure there's enough money for this).

        Or just TAA to Gabriel.

        Or roll.

        hard to answer this unless we know how much you need for your midfield upgrade but cant go much wrong with Cunha or pedro right now.

          Thanks for your response. As you can see I've a few issue's.
          Mcneil-Palmer-Salah (Adama)

    • Bucket Man
      • 6 Years
      3 hours, 25 mins ago

      Haven't checked my rank but imagine I'm now about 6 million so I may as well take a few hits now. 1FT

      Shall I -52 to remove everyone except Cunha?

      Flekken
      Dalot, Gabriel, Kerkez
      Johnson, Rogers, Mbuemo, Palmer
      Haaland, Cunha, Isak
      Semenyo, Konate, Greaves

      Only joking - 4 for Haaland to Pedro and Semenyo to Salah? or something else?

      1. Josh.E
        • 2 Years
        2 hours, 22 mins ago

        lol actually not checking rank helped me make some rage moves that got me out of the gutter, still not completely out though

        1. Bucket Man
          • 6 Years
          2 hours, 17 mins ago

          Haha. I don't think I've had one good game week genuinely. Came back from international break refreshed then Haaland blanked somehow. Konate and Isak were great transfers in and Salah went mad again.

      2. jonnybhoy
        • 11 Years
        2 hours, 19 mins ago

        I'd do the -4 looks good

        2 hours, 17 mins ago

        I feel you man. Same boat, similar response. I've taken a -8 to bring in Salah, Saka and Pedro.

        So, yes to your hit.

        1. Bucket Man
          • 6 Years
          2 hours, 15 mins ago

          Thanks both I think I've looked and can't afford Saka as well. Spending to much on useless options in defence like Dalot and the recently signed Konate which I already regret. Haaland hatrick weekend now.

          What do you think to the minus 4 or something else?. My midfield has been awful. Haaland under performing and defence too expensive for what it is doing.

      Haaland keeps getting goals in champs league, int duty (4) not in prem so much
      So have hung on to him more in faith!
      Keeping him, no salah has Killed me and others the last couple gw, even if id took hit to get Salah still would of paid off, fair play for those that got rid, not let his goals in other comp fool you!

      He Will be going this week, but bit late to the party I spose, better late than never eh

      Which play is the best with 1 FT

      A) Solanke to Pedro this week as single FT and Mbeumo to Saka as single FT next week
      B) Solanke + Mbeumo to Pedro + Saka next week as double FT

      Leaning to A because of the flexibility it gives me with only 1 FT. But Pedro's fixture is so tempting..

      Flekken
      Gabriel Gvardiol Hall
      Salah Bruno Mbeumo Rogers
      Haaland Wood Pedro (C)

                I I think you are good to go for this week, nothing worth a hit.
                Next week I would be looking at Palmer or Saka, but you'd have to sell either Haaland or Gvardiol.

                  My bad, it's Wissa's points. Mbeumo is 1, 2, 8, 2 so similar.

                Stop using facts to prove a point. Anyone can do that.

            Which transfer do you think is worth a -4 this GW.

            If both, chose one

            A) Solanke -> Cunha
            B) Raul -> Pedro

              A probably because he might not be a reliable starter anymore due to him being benched last week.

            Gvardiol out for RAN for a -4 so that I can afford Cunha next week, or do the -4 next week?

            Started using FPL.team recently, which I find to be better than nothing. I just transferred in Calafiori to go with Timber and now checking FPL.team, I notice there are hints from my director of football. Two of them, in fact:

            1. "In the next 4 weeks I think we can gain 5.9 pts if we sell Calafiori and sign Gabriel."

            2. "Looking at a longer horizon of 6 weeks I think we can gain 10.6 pts if we sell Calafiori and sign Gabriel."

            should i use my last FT to bring JP in or roll?

              Just roll, it might as well be Wellbeck hitting double figures on friday.

            My front 3 is Jackson-Cunha-Watkins. 35 points last GW.
            Better to just ignore Joao Pedro then?
            Villa’s playing BRE & SOT at home soon & Watkins was back on the scoresheet.

                I'd ignore, yeah. Watkins played well, apparently.

              Who's starting for Spurs now that Vic i s out?

              Austin or Forster?

                Ange Postecoglou: “We will NOT sign a new goalkeeper in January. We trust Fraser Forster”.

                “Vicario will be out for months but our plans don’t change”.

                  Strikes me as being the kind of keeper who is great value if he was £3.9m but not so much at £4.3m.

                    Romano quote about not signing a keeper in Jan is incorrect (facepalm emoji) Ange actually "ruled out signing a *FREE AGENT* keeper" (Source: every journo who was actually there and not just aggregating)

              Need a new team name, as "Mauvais Sangaré" is well outdated. I'm an Arsenal fan with Calariori, Timber and Saka in my team. How is "Fullbacks Saka Crack"? Can you find a better one?

              Cunha | Jackson | J.Pedro

              Very common issue this week, I know.
              But whom to bench?

                As horrible as it sounds, probably Bruno.
                At least in their first game Amorim played him really low quarterbacking from there. Not really getting into the high danger areas. Him or Isak imho.

                  Ignore the Isak part 😀

              Would you use 1FT to bring in Pedro for one of Isak CRY (a), Cunha BOU (h) or Solanke FUL (h) if you had no other issues?
