Keywords

💡FPL

FPL stands for Fantasy Premier League, which is a fantasy football game where participants create virtual teams consisting of real players from the actual Premier League. In the context of the video, FPL is the central theme as the speaker discusses strategies and player performances related to the game. The script mentions various FPL strategies and player options, such as 'E' and 'Mata,' indicating their value in the fantasy game.

💡Penalty Taker

A penalty taker is a player designated to take penalty kicks during a football match. In the video, the speaker discusses the implications of having a designated penalty taker for fantasy football teams, as it can increase the likelihood of scoring points. The script references the uncertainty at Crystal Palace regarding who will take penalties, which affects the FPL value of players like 'E' and 'Mata'.

💡Wildcard

In FPL, a Wildcard is a chip that allows a manager to make unlimited transfers for one gameweek without using any of their regular transfers. The speaker mentions the use of a Wildcard in relation to player selection, suggesting that certain players might be included or excluded from the team when using this strategy, as seen in the discussion about including 'E' and 'Mata' in the team.

💡Fixtures

Fixtures refer to the scheduled matches in the football season. In the context of FPL, favorable fixtures can lead to more points as they are against perceived weaker teams. The script discusses the difficulty of finding a standout player in the '6.5 million' price bracket and how the fixtures for certain teams, like Brighton, can affect the decision to pick their players.

💡Underlying Stats

Underlying stats in FPL refer to the statistical data that contribute to a player's potential for scoring points, such as shots, assists, and key passes. The speaker mentions 'E's underlying stats, including expected goals and assists per 90 minutes, to argue that despite not being a designated penalty taker, 'E' still holds value in the fantasy game.

💡Price Bracket

A price bracket in FPL refers to the cost range of players. The script discusses players in different price brackets, such as '6.7 million' or '7 million,' to compare their value and potential for returns on investment in terms of FPL points. The speaker uses price brackets to evaluate whether a player is good value for money.

💡Rotation Risk

Rotation risk in FPL refers to the possibility that a player may be rested or substituted, leading to fewer minutes played and potentially fewer points scored. The script cautions about players like 'Rico Lewis' from Manchester City, who may be at risk of rotation due to the team's depth and tactical approach.

💡European Games

European games refer to matches in continental competitions such as the Champions League and Europa League. The speaker advises delaying transfers when there are midweek European games, as they can affect a player's availability or condition for the following Premier League matches. This is mentioned in the context of managing FPL teams and planning transfers.

💡Nailed On

In FPL, a 'nailed on' player is one who is expected to start consistently and play the full 90 minutes of matches. The script discusses the importance of having 'nailed on' players for stability and reliability in the fantasy team, contrasting them with players who may be subject to rotation or benching.

💡Returns

Returns in FPL refer to the points a player scores. The speaker discusses the potential returns from various players, such as 'Calv' and 'Mata,' considering their form, fixtures, and role in their respective teams. The term is used to evaluate whether a player is likely to score points and contribute to the fantasy team's success.

play00:03

what is going on everyone my name is

play00:05

Andy welcome back to another FPL video

play00:07

in this one it's some of my early

play00:08

thoughts ahead of the gameweek five

play00:10

deadline so I'm going to go through some

play00:11

key players first of all and then talk

play00:13

about my notes that I made over the

play00:15

weekend so if you enjoyed the video make

play00:16

sure to give it a like and hit that

play00:18

subscribe button otherwise let's get

play00:19

into it all right let's start with E

play00:21

because it's now one return in four

play00:23

games for him so far this season and as

play00:25

we found out over the weekend he's not

play00:27

Crystal palace's full-time penalty taker

play00:29

so he has become a slightly worse FPL

play00:31

option and I'm going to talk about what

play00:32

to do with him in a minute just on the

play00:35

Crystal Palace penalty taken situation

play00:38

this is what glasner said we have two we

play00:41

always talk about it before it's between

play00:43

Mata and E we say you decide on the

play00:46

pitch talk together whoever feels better

play00:48

takes the penalty and scores the goal

play00:50

that's what they did today now side note

play00:52

I always find it a little bit weird when

play00:54

clubs don't have a designated penalty

play00:56

Taker and then a hierarchy after that

play00:59

like for Arsenal you know it's pretty

play01:00

much sacka then probably odard then hav

play01:03

it's at man united it's Fernandez then

play01:05

rashford so there's no need for this

play01:07

discussion the only thing I think this

play01:10

benefits is keeping the goalkeeper

play01:12

guessing not knowing whether it's going

play01:13

to be Mata or e but I think when you get

play01:15

a penal you want to know who's going to

play01:17

take it but anyway that's probably a

play01:19

topic of conversation for a different

play01:20

video either way e is not completely off

play01:24

penalties but the fact that matz has

play01:26

just taken one and scored one and he's

play01:28

in such ridiculous goal scoring form in

play01:30

general over the last year I suspect he

play01:32

will probably also take the next one so

play01:34

let's assume for now that e is not going

play01:36

to take the next couple of penalties

play01:38

does he become a mustell no absolutely

play01:41

not he's still a really good option and

play01:43

I know people are kind of bored of me

play01:44

saying that but that is how I feel about

play01:46

him he's played 90 minutes every single

play01:48

game so far you never have to worry

play01:50

about him starting and his underlying

play01:52

stats are decent outside of penalties so

play01:55

so far this year in four games 0.4

play01:58

expected goals per 90 0.13 expected

play02:01

assist they are really good numbers for

play02:03

a player that costs 7 million to a lot

play02:05

of us and some of you might have bought

play02:07

him in at 6.9 I still think he's really

play02:09

good value so if you've got him and you

play02:12

weren't planning on selling him you

play02:14

don't have to sell him right the only

play02:16

thing it really changes for me is on

play02:19

gameweek six wild card when I've been

play02:20

looking at various drafts e was an

play02:23

absolute lock 90 minutes penalties he's

play02:25

in my team now he's not a lock but he's

play02:28

still probably going to be in there

play02:30

because if I want a different player

play02:31

I've mostly got to go up in price to

play02:34

like a boen who's 7.4 to keep Bruno

play02:37

Fernandez who's over 8 million and if I

play02:39

come down in price like there's not a

play02:42

huge amount of 6 point like in is

play02:45

great as well so if there's a choice

play02:47

between the two I would definitely take

play02:48

him now but for most people you've

play02:50

got space for more than for both of them

play02:53

basically and if you go down to like 6.7

play02:56

million or below Mada I've got no

play02:58

interest in whatsoever he came off quite

play03:01

early this weekend as well and that

play03:02

could continue Barnes is not a

play03:04

guaranteed starter mcneel is okay but

play03:06

not that exciting like he's not better

play03:08

than e although he is a lot cheaper

play03:10

Smith row is fine Seena is okay as well

play03:14

matoma not a bad option for 6.7 but the

play03:16

fixtures for Brighton after this week

play03:17

get quite tough you know saos but it's

play03:20

just not someone I really want the point

play03:22

is 6.5 mli fielders there's no real

play03:26

standout for me and you get a for like

play03:28

4.5 million more great stats really good

play03:32

minutes as well I I just think you keep

play03:34

hold of him on wild card if you want to

play03:36

get rid of him fair enough if you get to

play03:38

a point where you've got two or three

play03:39

save transfers nothing else to do you

play03:41

really want to move a on youve got money

play03:42

to upgrade him fair enough but he has

play03:44

not become marel he's just a slightly

play03:46

worse option but it's still really good

play03:48

on the flip side I should probably stop

play03:50

ignoring Jean FIP mateta as much as I

play03:52

have been because not only is he now

play03:54

going to probably take a bunch of

play03:55

Crystal palace's penalties he just can't

play03:57

stop scoring in general his record over

play03:59

the last year or so is absolutely

play04:00

ridiculous and the underlying numbers

play04:02

aren't amazing but they're still not bad

play04:04

either so far this season 0.32 non pan

play04:07

expected goals per 90 0.08 expected

play04:11

assists and he's only 0.5 million more

play04:12

than e so for 0.5 million you now get

play04:16

penalties it's worth saying based on

play04:18

what glasner has said they may share

play04:20

them it could be that a takes the next

play04:22

one so I wouldn't now say that mateta is

play04:24

full-time penalty taker I just think he

play04:26

probably will take the next couple but I

play04:28

could be absolutely wrong about that

play04:30

all that being said just like how e

play04:33

hasn't become Mel all of a sudden Mata

play04:36

hasn't become essential and the reason

play04:38

for that is the Alternatives I think

play04:40

when you look at midfielders at seven or

play04:42

below it's difficult to find a nailed on

play04:44

super attacking penalty taker or

play04:47

anything like that whereas with forwards

play04:49

you do have other options like Mata at

play04:51

7.4 in isolation is not a bad price but

play04:54

when you start comparing him to other

play04:56

forwards it's not that cheap like calv

play04:58

lean for example

play05:00

has got a goal against Villa in gameweek

play05:02

four goal and assist against Bournemouth

play05:03

in gameweek three he's played 87 and 90

play05:06

minutes in those two games he looks

play05:08

pretty much nailed on as long as he can

play05:10

stay fit and he will take penalties as

play05:12

well and he's 5.9 million now if you

play05:15

look at Palace versus Everton of course

play05:16

Crystal Palace the better attacking team

play05:18

you would expect them to create more

play05:20

chances but any chances that Everton get

play05:23

are likely to fall to calvat lein and

play05:25

generally over his

play05:27

career at least like the last few

play05:29

seasons he's played regularly the

play05:30

numbers have been pretty good so it's

play05:32

not that Cal luin is better than Mata

play05:35

like again in isolation but for 1.5

play05:38

million saving that could be worth it

play05:41

look at Chris Wood again a player that

play05:43

I've mostly ignored because of worries

play05:44

about minutes and rotation he started

play05:46

every game he's played 80 minutes

play05:48

against Liverpool 90 against wolves and

play05:50

from gameweek six

play05:52

onwards uh not in aforest going on a run

play05:54

between gameweek 6 and I think it's

play05:56

gameweek 11 they've got home games

play05:58

against Fulham Palace West Ham and

play05:59

Newcastle and the two away games are

play06:01

Chelsea and Leicester even after that

play06:03

it's IP switch at home in gameweek 13

play06:06

after Arsenal away in 12 so their

play06:08

fixture run is pretty good now Chris

play06:10

Wood is probably not on penalties it

play06:11

almost certainly will be Gibbs white but

play06:13

he's only 6.1 million

play06:16

so I like uh sorry I like mateta I

play06:19

almost said artetta then I like mateta

play06:21

more than I did before this weekend but

play06:24

I'm still not convinced I would buy him

play06:26

like even looking at Wild Card 6 it

play06:28

wouldn't be a case of Mata or E it'd be

play06:31

a case of both and then Mata would be up

play06:33

against players like salanki who are

play06:34

similar price and Spurs got really good

play06:36

fixtures coming up or like I said I can

play06:39

go for one of those cheaper forwards

play06:41

that in some cases like Cal Le's got

play06:43

penalties as well and they're much

play06:45

cheaper so I know sometimes people think

play06:48

that I've just got like agendas against

play06:49

players I don't I think Mata is great if

play06:51

you want to buy them you should but in

play06:53

terms of thinking about the overall

play06:54

structure about how people's squads look

play06:56

the the play sorry the FPL managers that

play06:58

are trying to fit in salar and Haren

play07:00

it's difficult to also fit in Mata so

play07:03

he's fine but he hasn't become Central

play07:05

all of a sudden So speaking of cheap

play07:07

forwards Rodrigo Min probably has to go

play07:09

zero attack and returns so far this

play07:11

season which doesn't always put me off

play07:13

holding on to a player if I think the

play07:15

returns are coming but I need to know

play07:17

that that player is going to start and

play07:19

with man getting benched this weekend

play07:20

around jenez playing instead we just

play07:22

can't guarantee that moving forward now

play07:24

the usual carat Supply if you've got a

play07:27

decent eighth attacker and you can just

play07:29

bench is then go ahead and do that right

play07:31

you don't have to rush into selling him

play07:33

especially if you bought him for 6

play07:34

million cuz he went up to 6.1 so even if

play07:37

he does drop in price you won't lose any

play07:39

money on him as long as you bought him

play07:40

at 6 million so you don't have to go out

play07:42

of your way to get rid of him if you

play07:44

want to roll a transfer instead and your

play07:45

team looks good but for most people he's

play07:48

going to be a sale he's going nowhere

play07:49

near a wild card and you definitely

play07:51

shouldn't be buying him unless ra

play07:53

gimenez goes and picks up an injury this

play07:55

week or something like that but even in

play07:57

that case I don't think full pictures

play07:59

are that good from an attacking

play08:01

perspective like Newcastle at home is

play08:03

okay but then Forest away they've looked

play08:05

good defensively City away is really

play08:06

tough and then the next home game is

play08:08

Villa at home and then it's Everton away

play08:11

so I don't think the next five are great

play08:12

I think man's probably got to go um I'm

play08:14

going to look at the I haven't actually

play08:16

checked this yet the points predictions

play08:19

on fantasy football hub for six let's go

play08:21

to six yeah six million and Below

play08:24

forwards over the next four weeks so

play08:26

player I mentioned earlier Cal I really

play08:28

like him he probably is the cheap

play08:30

forward that I'd be buying right now

play08:32

then they've got intia interestingly

play08:34

enough he did start and play 90 minutes

play08:36

with mateta almost as like the number 10

play08:39

so he could be decent going forward and

play08:42

glasner did mention ahead of the

play08:43

deadline that they've paid all that

play08:45

money to play him essentially that's

play08:47

what he said like they haven't paid all

play08:48

that money to bench him I think is's

play08:49

actually what he said but he's going to

play08:51

get good minutes and I think inet is a

play08:53

really good player the only thing for me

play08:55

is he's like second fiddle to Mata

play08:58

that's the only thing that's slightly

play08:59

puts me off I think mateta is the main

play09:02

man like if if inet gets minutes for 5.9

play09:05

that's fine but for that same money I

play09:06

can go and get Everton's main forward

play09:09

instead so I don't minding but I'm not

play09:11

sure I would go for him well Beck I

play09:13

would completely avoid I just think his

play09:15

minutes will start to reduce in the long

play09:17

term and after this week Brighton's

play09:19

fixtures aren't great strand lson isn't

play09:20

too bad but I'd want to wait until game

play09:22

week 10 onwards when walls fixtures get

play09:24

good and Jamie vardy is decent I might

play09:26

bring him in this week he's played 90

play09:28

minutes again the are good for Lester I

play09:30

quite like him so that's the top picks

links in the description below that's

play09:46

who they think are the best forwards and

play09:47

also they've got Xiao Pedro top I I

play09:49

completely missed that it's actually

play09:50

Xiao Pedro then calv Luen I don't know

play09:52

how I missed that um but we have to wait

play09:55

and see what the diagnosis is with Xiao

play09:57

Pedro's injury it doesn't sound like

play09:59

it's going to be bad so he could be back

play10:00

and he's still great value I think I

play10:02

think fixture wise Cal Le might Trump

play10:05

him like Lester away Palace at home

play10:07

Newcastle at home it switch away Fulham

play10:09

at home it's really good as long as he

play10:10

can stay fit and he has started a lot of

play10:12

games over the last season so I think if

play10:15

I was buying one right now I'd buy caval

play10:17

ahead of J Pedro maybe that's a little

play10:19

bit knee jerky but that's how I feel

play10:21

anyway like I said if you want to check

play10:22

that toour out and all the others links

play10:23

in the description below let's talk

play10:24

about the next player all right let's

play10:26

talk about Rico Lewis next and how many

play10:28

times have we been here before for with

play10:29

Man City players where the minute start

play10:31

to look good people bring them in and

play10:33

then for one reason or another it just

play10:35

seems to go wrong and it probably hasn't

play10:37

happened as much as we think it has but

play10:39

it's happened enough where it definitely

play10:41

feels like a thing and this is not a dig

play10:43

at anyone that buys Man City players

play10:45

because the upside is definitely there

play10:47

and Rico Lewis could still be an

play10:48

absolute bargain for 4.7 million but it

play10:51

is a nice reminder that you've got to be

play10:53

a certain type of FPL manager to buy

play10:55

these Man City players that aren't

play10:57

Harland right we know harland's

play10:58

absolutely nowed on most of the other

play11:00

players just aren't and you've got to be

play11:03

prepared to deal with that and if you're

play11:04

someone that is going to panic at the

play11:06

first sign of a benching or an early

play11:08

substitution I just wouldn't go there

play11:11

it's just going to give you an absolute

play11:12

headache now if you want the promising

play11:15

signs from the weekend even though KL

play11:17

Walker was in the team Rico Lewis still

play11:20

started instead of vardo so that's

play11:22

encouraging that pep guier thinks he's

play11:24

played so well this season that he still

play11:26

got to be in the team even if he plays

play11:28

Kyle Walker the is he then got hooked at

play11:30

half time presumably because it wasn't

play11:32

working as well as pep had hoped and I

play11:34

do worry that Kyle Walker played to get

play11:37

minutes before that Arsenal game in

play11:39

gameweek five I know they've got

play11:40

Champions League before that but no

play11:42

matter how good Rico Lewis has been I

play11:45

think pet will always trust Carl Walker

play11:46

in a big game like that I think he'll

play11:48

play right back and vardal will play

play11:50

left back and Rico Lewis won't play now

play11:52

again that's probably not much of a

play11:54

problem for FPL how many points are you

play11:56

really expecting against Arsenal anyway

play11:58

plus Rico Lewis is only 4.7 so he's not

play12:00

taking up a massive part of your budget

play12:02

so although it doesn't feel great that

play12:04

you've only had 45 minutes against

play12:06

brenford at home I still think if you

play12:08

own Rico Lewis there's absolutely no

play12:11

need to panic you've probably got three

play12:12

other Defenders you can play instead

play12:13

this week and even in game week six when

play12:15

it's Newcastle away and by the time you

play12:18

get to Fulham at home in seven you have

play12:20

had two Premier League games I think

play12:22

it's ch one champions league and one

play12:23

carabal cup so four more matches before

play12:27

you have to make a major decision if he

play12:29

drops to 4.6 and you bought him at 4.7

play12:31

or he drops to 4.5 you got him at 4.6

play12:34

it's not the end of the world you might

play12:36

have an absolute bargain on your hands

play12:37

so for me Rico Lewis is a don't sell and

play12:41

probably a don't buy like if I was wild

play12:43

card in this week or in six I don't I

play12:45

would put him in the team so i' be a

play12:46

little bit worried about the minutes

play12:48

maybe if he plays against Arsenal in the

play12:50

Champions League i' I'd still put him on

play12:52

gameweek six wild card but I think I

play12:55

just prefer to play safer that's just

play12:56

the boring manager that I am

play12:59

so yeah it's frustrating I don't think

play13:02

it's game over with him as an option

play13:03

he's so cheap he could still be

play13:05

excellent value I'm just not sure I

play13:07

would buy him right now but if I had him

play13:09

I'd definitely be holding on to him so I

play13:10

just want to go through some notes from

play13:11

the weekend as always I might go through

play13:13

some of this stuff in more detail in

play13:15

other videos I've got planned later this

play13:17

week so make sure to subscribe if you're

play13:18

watching on YouTube and rate Five Stars

play13:20

if you're listening on podcast first

play13:22

thing to say European games are back

play13:24

this week so where possible I would try

play13:27

and delay my transfers until till closer

play13:30

to the gameweek 5 deadline and obviously

play13:32

that applies for future game weeks as

play13:33

well this doesn't mean that you can't

play13:35

make early transfers there's no right or

play13:37

wrong here it's just a little bit

play13:39

riskier when there's midweek matches if

play13:41

you've got a move that you know no

play13:42

matter what you want to do and you're

play13:44

going to be priced out if you wait I'd

play13:46

still consider doing it but where

play13:48

possible I prefer to delay it's just how

play13:50

I play but it doesn't mean I won't make

play13:52

early transfers over the next couple of

play13:54

weeks when there's midweek matches but I

play13:55

just wanted to make a note of that amedo

play13:59

might be an okay pick he started again

play14:01

this weekend and garnacho was bench so

play14:03

garnacho has only started one of three

play14:05

games I don't think that amalo is nailed

play14:08

on but he has played 6089 and 90 in

play14:11

three of the games the one that he

play14:12

missed out was Liverpool maybe that's

play14:14

because of how big of a game it was I

play14:16

don't know but if he keeps starting for

play14:18

5 million he's a decent option I mean

play14:21

for 5 million you can even say that if

play14:22

he gets the odd benching it's not the

play14:24

end of the world I'd still prefer Morgan

play14:26

Rogers I think because of the guaranteed

play14:28

minutes we've seen so far although that

play14:30

might not continue with champions league

play14:32

and stuff like that but I think Dio is

play14:34

not a bad option and from game week

play14:35

eight onwards man united fixures are

play14:37

pretty good so maybe I've got it wrong

play14:39

with amedo I was pretty against him at

play14:41

the start of the season but if he

play14:43

continues to play I'm definitely

play14:45

interested isak Saka Xiao Pedro I would

play14:49

hold fire on selling them unless you

play14:51

know for sure what you're going to do

play14:53

like for me right sacka went off with a

play14:55

knock in the 85th minute he'll probably

play14:57

be fine he'll probably play in the

play14:58

Champions League this week and I'm going

play15:00

to sell him either way because it's Man

play15:01

City away but again I don't want to do

play15:03

that until I've got more information

play15:05

about other players in my team like I'm

play15:07

not sure if I want to sell Bruno or isak

play15:09

isach went off at half time I think

play15:11

Eddie how said it was something to do

play15:12

with his eye the reason that he couldn't

play15:14

play again he'll probably be fine by

play15:16

next week so don't rush into anything

play15:18

that you're not sure about Rogers I've

play15:20

just mentioned when I talked about amodo

play15:22

people are definitely frustrated with

play15:23

him cuz he's played 90 minutes every

play15:25

match and hasn't returned look I get it

play15:28

right we want our players to return

play15:29

that's the whole point of FPL but I

play15:32

would just be very encouraged that he

play15:34

continues to play 90 minutes and other

play15:35

players around him are getting

play15:36

substituted as players get back to full

play15:39

fitness as Champions League starts his

play15:41

minutes might go down but he is an

play15:43

amazing eighth attacker if he continues

play15:46

playing every match let's say it's not

play15:47

90 but he keeps starting and he plays

play15:49

like 70 80 minutes I'm definitely

play15:52

keeping him on wild I just don't see why

play15:53

you wouldn't the fixtures are really

play15:55

good the returns will come he's very

play15:57

unfortunate not to have at least least

play15:59

one return so far and he's not a moala

play16:02

or a C Palmer or a sacker of course he's

play16:04

not he's only 5 million like he should

play16:06

be the least of your worries right now

play16:08

if you're on wild card you really don't

play16:09

want him fair enough sell him I wouldn't

play16:11

sit here and argue that you've got to

play16:12

have him he's not essential but he is

play16:14

not worth a transfer out in my opinion

play16:16

unless you've got loads of money to

play16:18

upgrade him to someone much better um

play16:22

jotter and Diaz subbed early jot went

play16:24

off before the 60th minute Diaz went off

play16:27

just after even though it was in the

play16:28

same substitution window I know some

play16:30

people are now calling for the rule to

play16:32

be changed it's one of those things it

play16:34

doesn't happen very often it doesn't

play16:36

matter if you go off before 60 you get

play16:37

one point if you go off after you get

play16:40

two like whatever it's the rules it's

play16:42

really not that big of a difference um

play16:44

in general though I think Jor and Diaz

play16:48

come under the don't buy don't sell like

play16:50

if I had them I wouldn't be worried I I

play16:52

do think with jotter he does seem to be

play16:55

almost linking the play more than he's

play16:57

getting into good goal scoring positions

play17:00

now it's a very small sample size he's

play17:02

still a really good option if he keeps

play17:03

starting but it does feel like Salah or

play17:05

Diaz is going to be more involved in the

play17:07

actual points than jotter is that being

play17:10

said it's Bournemouth at home and he has

play17:12

started every game so far so I'd be

play17:14

pretty Keen to hold on to him but he's

play17:16

not the kind of player that I would buy

play17:18

like I think the next three for

play17:19

Liverpool are fine like Bournemouth for

play17:21

home Wolves Away Palace away but then

play17:22

you've got Chelsea Arsenal Brighton

play17:24

Villa is a little bit more difficult

play17:26

although it is three home games in four

play17:29

and I just think these early

play17:31

substitutions will continue and at some

play17:33

point he could just get benched and I'm

play17:35

just not interested in players like that

play17:37

which is why I personally wouldn't buy

play17:38

them I said that at the start of the

play17:40

season and they got points so as I

play17:42

always say what do I know anyway Evan

play17:44

nilson Mr a penalty for Bournemouth now

play17:47

he might be on the next one but I think

play17:49

um Iola said that they've also got two

play17:52

penalty takers Evan neelon or cliver so

play17:54

there's a good chance cver will take the

play17:55

next one and he's only 5.4 million so

play17:59

he's a little bit cheaper than the likes

play18:00

of

play18:01

seeno uh but he's not as nailed on so

play18:04

only started three or four it was

play18:07

only game week one that he missed out

play18:08

and he does often get substituted early

play18:10

but if he's on pen for 5.4 and he's

play18:12

going to start the majority of games he

play18:14

could be an option to look out for

play18:16

Arsenal defense is ridiculous I I think

play18:19

yesterday for like we know Arsenal

play18:21

defense is great said it a million times

play18:24

best defense in the league and for FPL

play18:26

great because you can pretty much

play18:28

guarantee who's going to play at least

play18:29

like Ben White cber and probably

play18:31

Gabrielle as well unlike Man City

play18:32

Defenders but yes they was just a

play18:34

reminder of how good they are they just

play18:36

didn't give Spurs anything away from

play18:38

home and I think if you weren't

play18:40

considering one or two Arsenal Defenders

play18:42

you will be soon and Chelsea attackers

play18:45

again minutes like madai people said

play18:47

after his hattick like it's his place to

play18:49

lose there's no way he's going to get

play18:51

benched and to be fair he hasn't been

play18:53

and I'm not sure that's going to happen

play18:54

anytime soon but early Subs are possible

play18:56

60 Minutes against Bournemouth again I

play18:58

just don't really have too much interest

play19:00

in these kind of players I think Chelsea

play19:02

got so many options it could change at

play19:04

some point like Palmer could start on

play19:06

the right like he he was on the right in

play19:09

that Bournemouth game and it didn't work

play19:11

that well and I don't think B uh sorry I

play19:13

don't think Palmer is now a bad option

play19:15

but everyone around him I would just

play19:16

ignore Sancho Xiao Felix madai I just

play19:20

can't see the point in going there

play19:22

there's just not enough upside for me

play19:24

but they could be great if they get

play19:25

brilliant minutes can you guarantee that

play19:28

probably not I would need to see

play19:30

consistent starts for Chelsea players

play19:31

outside of Palmer and Jackson for like I

play19:34

don't know four or five weeks before I

play19:36

was confident and by that point I've

play19:37

probably missed the points anyway and

play19:38

you could say that's a downside to how I

play19:40

play but also it means you don't get

play19:42

caught up in in the hype around players

play19:44

that do well but are not necessarily

play19:46

going to continue to and again I don't

play19:48

want to sound like that's a dig at madai

play19:50

like you shouldn't have bought him in I

play19:51

still think he's a nice option I picked

play19:53

him up in draft for what it's worth but

play19:55

I just think in general early

play19:57

substitutions like that for like jot

play19:59

Diaz madai they're a thing and unless

play20:01

they do well in a limited amount of

play20:04

time they're just going to get

play20:05

frustrating longer term that's all I

play20:07

would say I mean as always in FPL

play20:09

90minut players tend to be quite handy

play20:12

I'll leave it there anyway because I'm

play20:14

probably going to talk about some of

play20:14
