Q & A

  • What is the update on Eddie Nketiah's transfer situation?

    -Eddie Nketiah's proposed move to Nottingham Forest is off. Instead, he has been granted permission by Arsenal to undergo a medical for a move to Crystal Palace, with no problems expected on personal terms.

  • What are the implications of Nketiah's potential move to Crystal Palace for FPL managers?

    -Nketiah might not be a first-choice player at Crystal Palace, but there's a chance he could force his way into the team, especially if Mateta leaves. He could be a good option at 5.9 if he can guarantee minutes during the season.

  • Who is the better FPL option between Emile Smith Rowe and Leon Bailey, considering their current prices?

    -Leon Bailey is the better option based on his proven attacking record and potential for similar returns this season. However, considering value, Smith Rowe might be a better option for 1.4 million less, especially if it allows for different transfer strategies.

  • What is the current situation with Kyle Walker's fitness and his potential to play?

    -There is no news on Kyle Walker as he is fit and available but has not been used in the last two Manchester City games. Pep Guardiola is likely being cautious with his returning players, especially after their international duties.

  • Is Rico Lewis a safe FPL pick considering Kyle Walker's potential return?

    -Rico Lewis is playing well and is likely to start in gameweek three, but predicting his long-term security in the team is uncertain. Walker's return could affect Lewis's starting position, making it a riskier pick in the long run.

  • Is Andrew Robertson a good alternative to Trent Alexander-Arnold considering their price difference?

    -Yes, Andrew Robertson is a good alternative, especially considering Liverpool's decent fixtures and the potential savings that could be used in other areas of the FPL squad.

  • What are the best gameweek three captaincy options according to the script?

    -The best captaincy options for gameweek three are likely to be Mohamed Salah against Brighton at home, Ollie Palmer against Crystal Palace at home, and Erling Haaland against West Ham away.

  • What is the script's view on the relevance of Spurs players like Son, Madison, and Parrott for FPL?

    -While Spurs players are still relevant, they may not be the best options to buy at the moment due to upcoming fixtures and the performance of other players. However, they are not necessarily problems in a team and could be kept unless a significant upgrade is available.

  • What are the thoughts on Chelsea's Armando Broja after his hat-trick performance?

    -Broja's hat-trick certainly helps his case for inclusion in the starting eleven, but there are concerns about his long-term minutes due to Chelsea's depth and potential signings. It might be worth waiting to see how the situation unfolds before making a decision on including him in FPL squads.

  • What is the strategy for handling multiple FPL players in the same match?

    -The strategy is to evaluate each player individually for potential transfers, considering their performance and future fixtures, rather than focusing on the fact that they are playing against each other. It may be better to save a free transfer rather than making unnecessary changes.

  • What are the considerations for choosing between Moreno and Ania as options for Nottingham Forest's defense?

    -The considerations include their potential for minutes on the pitch, the uncertainty of their roles due to competition, and the upcoming fixtures. Both players are priced similarly, and their value will depend on their ability to secure a starting position and perform well in those games.

πŸ† FPL Game Week 3 Preview and Player News

Andy opens the FPL video discussing Game Week 3, addressing player news relevant to FPL, such as Eddie Nketiah's potential move to Nottingham Forest falling through and his likely transfer to Crystal Palace. He suggests that Nketiah could see more playing time at Palace than at Arsenal. Andy also promotes the Fantasy Football Hub, offering tools and a current discount for FPL management.

05:02

πŸ€” Analyzing Player Value and Potential: Rogers vs. Bailey

The script delves into a comparison between two players, Rogers and Bailey, discussing their current market value and potential FPL points. Rogers has seen a price increase and is favored by some due to his early performances, but Bailey's track record and role at Aston Villa make him a strong contender. Andy weighs the value of Rogers' lower price against Bailey's proven performance, suggesting that while Bailey might score more points, Rogers could offer better value for money.

10:05

πŸ”„ Player Availability and Starting Lineup Speculation

Discussions around player availability and starting lineups include Kyle Walker's status and the potential for Rico Lewis to maintain his starting position. Andy advises that there's no guarantee for Lewis's long-term security in the starting eleven, especially with Walker's possible return. He also addresses the fixtures and potential for defenders like Andrew Robertson as alternatives to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

15:05

🎯 Gameweek 3 Captaincy Options

Andy narrows down the captaincy options for Gameweek 3 to three main players: Salah, Palmer, and Haaland. He provides insights into their potential to score points, considering their opponents and recent performances. While Salah is a consistent choice, Andy suggests that the match circumstances might make other players like Palmer or Haaland more attractive captaincy picks for the upcoming gameweek.

20:07

🚫 Assessing the Relevance of Spurs Players in FPL

The script addresses the relevance of Spurs players in FPL after their initial fixtures. While players like Son, Madison, and Parrott are not necessarily bad options, they may not be the best choices for acquisition at this point. Andy suggests holding onto them unless there's a significant upgrade available, and he doesn't recommend going out of the way to sell them unless there's a compelling reason.

πŸ’¬ Chelsea's Squad Depth and FPL Implications

The final paragraph discusses the impact of Chelsea's deep squad on FPL, particularly focusing on the situation with Timo Werner and other attacking players. Andy expresses concerns about the rotation risk and the potential for new signings to affect minutes for current players. He advises caution when considering Chelsea players for FPL, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the team's lineup and the transfer window still open.

play00:04

Andy welcome back to another FPL video

play00:07

in this one it's the game week three

play00:08

preview so I'm going to go through a

play00:09

little bit of news that's relevant for

play00:11

FPL and then jump into some of your

play00:12

questions to hopefully help you along

play00:28

will get your money back terms and

play00:29

conditions to apply for that all the

play00:31

links you need are in the description

play00:32

below all right let's start with Eddie

play00:34

and ker last week I spoke about how he

play00:35

might be on his way to Nottingham Forest

play00:37

that would give them another forward

play00:39

option to consider every single week but

play00:41

it looks like that deal is off and David

play00:43

orstein tweeted yesterday to say that

play00:45

intier has been granted permission by

play00:46

Arsenal to undergo medical ahead of

play00:49

completing a proposed move to Crystal

play00:51

Palace no problems expected on personal

play00:54

terms and stuff like that so the deal is

play00:56

not done but it could be by the time

play00:58

this video goes out don't think intier

play01:01

is necessarily going to be First Choice

play01:02

there and some people might say well why

play01:04

would he go from being on the bench at

play01:05

Arsenal to being on the bench at Crystal

play01:07

Palace but I think with Arsenal as we've

play01:10

seen over the last few years he's got no

play01:11

chance of being in that 11 regularly

play01:13

without lots of injuries whereas at

play01:15

least at Crystal Palace there is a

play01:16

chance that he could force his way into

play01:18

the team I think if Mata stays he'll

play01:20

absolutely be first choice but if Edward

play01:23

goes then entia only needs one injury or

play01:26

you know a drop in form or something

play01:27

like that from meta to be in that 11 and

play01:30

I do think he's a really good player and

play01:32

I think if we could guarantee minutes

play01:33

from him at any point during the season

play01:35

he'll be a good option at 5.9 but I

play01:38

don't see him going straight into the

play01:39

team I'm not sure that glasa will set up

play01:41

with an intia and Mata front two I just

play01:45

don't think that would happen or one of

play01:46

them dropping behind we we'll have to

play01:48

wait and see obviously maybe he's got

play01:50

something up his sleeve but I think

play01:51

intier is going there to try and force

play01:53

his way into the 11 not necessarily to

play01:55

be a starter straight away so one to

play01:57

monitor but not someone to put into your

play01:58

FPL Squad right now all right let's get

play02:00

into some of your questions so what are

play02:02

your thoughts on Rogers versus Bailey is

play02:04

Bailey worth 1.5 million more than

play02:06

Rogers now when this question came in

play02:08

Rogers with 5 million he's gone up in

play02:10

price overnight he's now 5.1 so the

play02:12

difference is 1.4 I think if

play02:15

we're leaving value to the side for a

play02:18

second and we're just looking at FPL

play02:20

points Bailey is better for me on the

play02:22

information we have right now and I

play02:23

think that's pretty clear like there's a

play02:25

lot of hype around Rogers we've all seen

play02:26

him play in the first two games he's

play02:28

played really well we're hoping that

play02:29

translates to fpl points with the

play02:31

fixture run they've got coming up but

play02:33

Leon Bailey is a proven attacker and

play02:35

when he gets minutes he gets returns

play02:36

last year it was 10 goals 11 assists in

play02:38

the league and there's no reason why he

play02:40

couldn't do something similar this year

play02:42

Villa are a very good team there's a

play02:43

reason they got in the Champions League

play02:45

and he is going to be one of the the

play02:47

main attacking threats for them this

play02:49

season outside of Ole Watkins so I think

play02:51

Leon Bailey right now if I had to

play02:53

predict who's going to score more points

play02:54

from now until the end of the season it

play02:56

would clearly be him but that's not all

play02:59

FPL is about which I know sounds stupid

play03:00

but you've got to take value into

play03:02

account and I think Rogers for 1.4

play03:04

million less might be the better option

play03:06

especially if it opens up a different

play03:08

route for you to go with your transfers

play03:11

so you need to think in the future could

play03:13

that 1.4 million come in handy if not

play03:16

then maybe you should just go for Leon

play03:18

Bailey but for a lot of people that

play03:20

extra money will be really useful and

play03:22

there is a chance that Rogers does as

play03:24

well as Bailey on points and possibly

play03:26

outscores him but I think we need to

play03:27

Temp our expectations around him we're

play03:29

not sure

play03:30

longterm whether he's definitely going

play03:31

to be in the team and what his output

play03:33

might be like it's all well and good

play03:35

playing well like being a good player

play03:37

that doesn't always translate to fpl

play03:39

points look at Bernardo Silva for

play03:40

example at Man City maybe it's a bit

play03:42

harsh to always bring him up as an

play03:44

example fantastic player very rarely a

play03:47

great FPL option so I like Rogers I've

play03:49

got him in my team I've had him since

play03:51

gameweek one I think people are right to

play03:53

bring him in he's a good option great

play03:55

fixtures but I think the idea that he's

play03:57

going to score more points than Bailey

play03:58

I'm just not convinced about the only

play04:00

thing I will say we don't know because

play04:02

we haven't got enough evidence about

play04:03

this from last season about how Rogers

play04:05

minutes will be when Champions League

play04:07

starts he might be an absolute machine

play04:08

and just be able to play week uh midweek

play04:10

weekend midweek Etc whereas with Leon

play04:13

Bailey I think there is a chance that he

play04:14

might get his minutes managed a little

play04:16

bit once Champions League starts up so

play04:18

if I was buying one of these this week I

play04:21

think it would mostly be Rogers because

play04:22

I think that money will be handy for

play04:24

people in the future you need to

play04:25

consider your future transfers and if

play04:27

it's not Leon bayy has probably where my

play04:29

money would be for actual points I love

play04:31

the way this question is worded once

play04:33

again is there any solid news on Kyle

play04:35

Walker is Rico Lewis still safe now

play04:38

there's no news on Walker because

play04:39

there's not really anything to report on

play04:41

as far as we know he's fit and available

play04:43

he's been in the Man City squad for the

play04:44

last two games he just wasn't used Off

play04:46

the Bench we know obviously he was away

play04:48

with England at the euros and played a

play04:50

lot of minutes and I think Pep Guardiola

play04:52

is quite mindful of not bringing players

play04:54

back too quickly especially when you've

play04:55

got such a good squad that can win games

play04:57

without some of their key players so

play04:59

rodri foden Walker they're not going to

play05:01

be rushed back into the team he it seems

play05:04

like he'd rather give them time to

play05:06

recover properly to make sure they're

play05:08

able to play a lot of games later on in

play05:10

the season especially when European

play05:12

matches and stuff like that start up so

play05:14

if you're waiting for I don't know a

play05:16

newspaper report or Pep Guardiola to

play05:18

come out and say guess what Kyle Walker

play05:20

is not playing for the next five six

play05:22

weeks you're not going to get it so is

play05:24

Rico Lewis still safe it depends what

play05:26

you mean by safe do I think he'll start

play05:27

in gameweek three I think there's a very

play05:29

good chance can I predict that he's

play05:31

going to keep starting game week four

play05:33

onwards no right simple as that I don't

play05:36

think we can say right now that Lewis is

play05:38

absolutely first choice and Kyle

play05:40

Walker's got to battle his way back into

play05:42

the team I think at any moment Kyle

play05:44

Walker could just start and I think the

play05:46

longer you leave the RICO Lewis move if

play05:48

you're thinking about bringing him in

play05:49

still the worse it gets th this worry

play05:52

over car Walker coming back into the

play05:54

side is not going to get better it's

play05:56

going to get worse because the more

play05:57

games that are played the more rest he

play05:59

gets the more chance he's going to be

play06:01

used now Rico Lewis is playing really

play06:03

well and he's not done himself any harm

play06:06

in terms of keeping himself in the side

play06:09

and the numbers for the last game right

play06:10

0.53 expected goals absolutely

play06:13

ridiculous he did hit the bar he came

play06:15

very close to an attack and return but

play06:17

Kyle Walker has also been super

play06:18

important to pep and if he doesn't leave

play06:21

the club which it doesn't look like it's

play06:22

going to happen now but he's going to be

play06:24

used in the league it is just going to

play06:26

happen and it's not even just the longer

play06:28

you leave it the worse it's going to get

play06:29

with the Walker situation the worst the

play06:30

fixtures get too like West Ham away

play06:32

brenford at home not bad then Arsenal at

play06:35

home in five Newcastle away in six not

play06:37

expecting clean sheets necessarily in

play06:39

five or six so you've really got to make

play06:40

your move now I think but I think if you

play06:43

get after the international break and

play06:44

you still haven't bought Rico Lewis I

play06:46

think you've just got to let him go

play06:47

unless you're super confident that Kyle

play06:49

Walker is not First Choice anymore and I

play06:51

just don't think I would be and it's a

play06:53

shame because after the Newcastle game

play06:55

you got Fulham at home Wolves Away

play06:56

Southampton at home Bournemouth away I

play06:58

would love to have a 4.5 million Man

play07:00

City Defender that's as attacking as

play07:02

Rico Lewis is I'm just not sure it's

play07:05

necessarily worth the hassle the one

play07:07

thing to say with man city is we do

play07:09

often get quite a few leaks and if their

play07:10

games are early

play07:12

on in the game week you may well get

play07:15

information whether he's starting week

play07:16

in week out for 4.5 million that could

play07:18

still be worth it but is he safe to pick

play07:21

it depends what your definition of safe

play07:23

is but if you mean is he going to start

play07:25

the next four or five weeks guaranteed

play07:27

of course we can't guarantee that so is

play07:29

Andrew Robertson a good alternative to

play07:30

Trent given his price tag and I think

play07:32

the simple answer is yes after man

play07:34

united away in gameweek three

play07:35

Liverpool's fixtures are decent they've

play07:37

already done well in the first two games

play07:38

defensively and that million saving

play07:40

could be really useful for other areas

play07:42

of your squad so I don't think there's

play07:44

any need to bring him in this week

play07:46

unless you're maybe on wild card or

play07:47

something like that because even if you

play07:48

think Liverpool are going to beat man

play07:50

united I would expect man united to

play07:52

score in that game but then from four

play07:54

onwards it's Forest at home Bournemouth

play07:56

at home Wolves Away and Palace away

play07:58

which I think is quite nice as a little

play07:59

four game fixture on for Liverpool and

play08:01

you can always move him on to someone

play08:03

else after that so I would definitely

play08:05

think about Robertson he's not as safe

play08:08

as someone like Van Dyk but he's pretty

play08:10

safe right we know his first choice left

play08:12

back he's going to be in that team when

play08:14

he's fit and available my initial

play08:15

thoughts when I saw the question is

play08:18

Robertson's always got slight

play08:19

competition in simic Cass and I mean

play08:21

slight because Robertson is clearly

play08:22

first choice and when he's fit and

play08:24

available he's almost always going to

play08:25

play but in the past that's been like a

play08:28

slight disadvantage over who's had no

play08:30

competition but that's not even fair

play08:32

anymore because Trent's literally got

play08:33

Conor Bradley who is probably a better

play08:35

backup than Simas is on the other side

play08:38

and we've already seen in the first

play08:39

couple of games that Trent has been

play08:41

subbed off early 76 minutes in gameweek

play08:43

one and 71 minutes in gameweek two now

play08:46

Trent is someone that was away for the

play08:48

Euro so didn't have much of a preseason

play08:50

that could be playing a part as well but

play08:52

it could also just be that Connor

play08:53

Bradley's really good so I think from an

play08:55

attacking perspective Trent is still

play08:57

better but that 1 million I I think he's

play08:59

going to come in really handy and I

play09:01

think when when people wild card I think

play09:03

more people will come off Trent than are

play09:06

currently on him right now it's

play09:07

definitely something I'm going to

play09:08

consider in terms of the attacking

play09:11

numbers I'm going to pull them up on

play09:12

fantasy football Hub so I've got my

play09:13

custom table here if you want to check

play09:15

this stuff out as always 50% off to use

play09:17

all sorry 50% off at the moment you can

play09:19

make use of all the tools not just this

play09:21

one but this one's super handy so if we

play09:23

look at Trent so far this season he is

play09:26

at let me see here 0.1 non pan expected

play09:29

go per 9 .92 expected assist obviously

play09:32

those numbers the assist ones will come

play09:34

down a little bit as the season goes on

play09:36

but it just shows how creative he can be

play09:38

with Robertson let me see what his goal

play09:40

threat is 0.16 so slightly higher goal

play09:43

threat in the first two games than Trent

play09:44

and .17 expected assist so there is

play09:47

still attacking potential there it's not

play09:48

like he's going to tuck in as a left

play09:50

Center back or anything like that and if

play09:52

we look at previous season then we go to

play09:55

last year Robertson was still putting

play09:57

out 0.1 non pandemic expected gar per 90

play10:00

0.23 expected assist compared to Trent

play10:04

quickly compare here uh 0.12 non Peno

play10:07

expected goals 0.24 expected assist they

play10:10

were actually quite similar I think I

play10:12

would always back Trent to get me more

play10:14

returns but I think that million saving

play10:16

could be really worth it and I'll tell

play10:18

you now if I wild card in four there's a

play10:20

higher than 50% chance that Robertson is

play10:23

in my team so I think he's a really good

play10:24

alternative so who are the best gameweek

play10:26

three captaincy options and I would

play10:28

probably narrow it down to three players

play10:30

so sacker against Brighton at home

play10:31

Palmer against Palace at home and then

play10:33

Harland against West Ham away I don't

play10:35

think it's ever a terrible decision to

play10:37

Captain Salah even against man united

play10:39

away I just think with the fixtures

play10:41

Liverpool have got early on if you're

play10:42

ever going to back against him in one of

play10:44

them this is probably the week to do it

play10:46

and Liverpool and Salah have done really

play10:48

well against man united in recent

play10:49

Seasons but at Old Trafford I wouldn't

play10:51

expect a massive score and I think it

play10:53

could be a tough enough game for

play10:54

Liverpool so he might walk away with one

play10:57

return but I'm not sure I'd put too much

play10:59

money on him getting more than that it's

play11:01

possible of course it is right he's such

play11:02

a good player but I think this is

play11:04

probably a good game we to go for

play11:06

someone else instead if Harlem was at

play11:09

home to West Ham I'm not even sure there

play11:11

would be much of a conversation here I

play11:13

think he would just be the best choice

play11:15

because it's away it's a little bit

play11:17

trickier and I do like Captain and

play11:18

Midfield as where possible because you

play11:20

got that extra point for a go extra

play11:22

point for a clean sheet as we've

play11:23

discussed many times before saaka is

play11:26

always great he showed that in the first

play11:28

game goal and assist he's already got

play11:29

another assist in the second one as well

play11:31

he's super consistent I still think

play11:32

sometimes we have to remind ourselves

play11:35

how good sacker is I think sometimes it

play11:37

takes years and years of scoring massive

play11:39

points like Salah until we just accept

play11:41

he's great and we're not quite there yet

play11:43

with sacka but he is great right so he's

play11:45

never a terrible option either and I

play11:48

think Brighton at home Arsenal will get

play11:49

chances right they're very strong uh at

play11:52

their home ground as most teams are but

play11:54

I just I don't know I look at West Ham

play11:57

versus Brighton I just think could

play11:58

Brighton put in a decent defensive

play12:01

performance possibly do I see West Ham

play12:04

doing that not necessarily like I think

play12:06

they will improve this season they've

play12:07

made some good signings as well but we

play12:09

saw Crystal Palace had quite a few

play12:11

chances in that game they just couldn't

play12:12

put them away that's not going to happen

play12:14

with someone like Harland so I've got

play12:16

sacka and Harland in my team and to be

play12:18

honest with you I've not really given

play12:19

sacka too much thought if I wild carded

play12:22

this week and went for a Salah only

play12:23

draft I would Captain Saca over Salah

play12:26

but I'm not sure I can Captain over

play12:28

harand Palmer tricky one because as much

play12:31

as I don't think you should take into

play12:33

account the points that have just been

play12:35

scored when making your decision it's

play12:37

very difficult to forget about the fact

play12:39

of what he' just done to wolves and

play12:41

Palace haven't looked great defensively

play12:43

so far I wouldn't even be surpris if gay

play12:45

is not in that or sorry not at Crystal

play12:47

Palace by the time this game is played

play12:50

they got another defensive injury last

play12:52

night Anderson has gone as well it feels

play12:55

like suddenly all stars are aligning

play12:56

that Palmer is just a great choice this

play12:58

week we know nailed on he's definitely

play13:00

going to play and there's going to be

play13:02

chances so I think if I was going to go

play13:04

against Harland it'd probably be Palmer

play13:07

over sacka and I don't know how much of

play13:09

that is based on what happened last week

play13:10

because I think sacka is great but

play13:12

ultimately I think if I had all three of

play13:14

these players I'd probably go for

play13:16

Harland just about and also his

play13:18

ownership is still fairly low compared

play13:20

to what he can deliver it's much lower

play13:23

than it has been in previous Seasons so

play13:25

you're still getting quite a good game

play13:26

from captaincy that you weren't you know

play13:28

PR previous season so maybe if this was

play13:31

last year I'd be thinking about Palmer

play13:32

as the differential option but actually

play13:34

I just don't think it's enough to go

play13:35

against harand there's probably just

play13:37

about Harlem for me then Palmer then

play13:39

sacka but if you wanted to go for one of

play13:41

the other two they're really good

play13:42

options as well this week so our Spurs

play13:44

players Like Son Madison and parro still

play13:46

relevant well I guess first of all it

play13:48

depends what you mean by relevant but

play13:49

let's go through the different options

play13:51

would I buy any of them this week no

play13:54

probably not would I include any of them

play13:56

on Wild Card possibly parro but probably

play13:58

not the other two and if I owned any of

play14:01

them would I go out of my way to sell

play14:02

them this week probably not right if I

play14:05

own them and I could roll a transfer

play14:07

instead and just play them against

play14:08

Newcastle away that is what I would do

play14:10

in most situations unless there's a

play14:12

player you can bring in that's a massive

play14:14

upgrade so if you had son and 0.5

play14:16

million in the bank to go up to Cole

play14:18

Palmer that might be a pretty good move

play14:20

because of the fixtures they've got but

play14:22

I don't think they're all of a sudden

play14:24

like problems in your team right the

play14:26

first two fixtures were good Lester away

play14:28

and Everton at home we knew they were

play14:29

the best two of the first four fixtures

play14:32

and now they've got Newcastle away then

play14:34

Arsenal at home which is going to be

play14:35

really tricky but then it's brenford at

play14:37

home in five which is a pretty good

play14:38

fixture and we've seen how Newcastle

play14:40

have defended uh so far this season I

play14:42

know it's only two games by the way but

play14:44

it hasn't been fantastic tanali might be

play14:46

back soon that could help them

play14:48

absolutely but I think Spurs will get

play14:50

chances in that game not necessarily a

play14:52

clean sheet though so I think parro

play14:54

might be a slight issue and then

play14:55

Arsenal's going to be really tricky but

play14:57

again it's at home they'll probably

play14:59

goals in that game so I don't think

play15:01

they're massive concerns but they're not

play15:04

really they're not as good an option as

play15:07

they were in preseason when we were

play15:09

building our game with one squads

play15:10

because now you've lost the Leicester

play15:12

and Everton fixtures and it's not that

play15:14

you know someone like son has all of a

play15:16

sudden become an awful player or option

play15:19

for FPL he's just got 16 points against

play15:21

Everton for example but if you're

play15:23

comparing him to sacka well sack's got

play15:25

Brighton at home Spurs away which is a

play15:27

pretty good fixture and in six and seven

play15:29

he's got Leicester and Southampton at

play15:30

home and Palmer's got a really good run

play15:32

ahead of him right now as well so again

play15:34

I think it was perfectly reasonable to

play15:36

ignore Palmer in preseason because he

play15:39

had Man City in the first game sacka had

play15:41

better fixtures for example so did son

play15:43

but all of a sudden the landscape

play15:44

changes because so do the fixtures so I

play15:47

think Spurs players are absolutely

play15:48

relevant I don't think any of s Madison

play15:50

and Par are particularly terrible but

play15:53

you wouldn't be buying any of them now

play15:54

and if you did want to sell any of them

play15:56

that wouldn't necessarily be a bad move

play15:58

either with Madison in particular by the

play16:00

way cuz I've seen a few comments saying

play16:01

you're just not talking about him enough

play16:03

and I think he has looked really good in

play16:04

the first couple of games but you got to

play16:08

remember he is 7.5 million and look he's

play16:10

got an assist in bofam as well five six

play16:12

points but that's more what he's going

play16:13

to get you as assist rather than goals

play16:15

of course he can score we've seen it

play16:16

plenty of times before but he's more

play16:18

creative than a a goal threat in that

play16:21

Spurs team and 7 point F like it sounds

play16:24

stupid because I don't think it is too

play16:25

expensive for him but when you then

play16:27

factor in the other players you can can

play16:29

buy for cheaper it does feel a bit

play16:31

expensive like in burm for example if

play16:33

Tony leaves this week he's going to be

play16:35

on penalty Southampton at home okay then

play16:37

it's two tricky away games but the

play16:38

fixtures get really good from gameweek

play16:40

six onwards so you save0 five and you

play16:42

got penalties and guaranteed minutes

play16:44

although James Madison right now is

play16:46

absolutely fine for minutes he is

play16:47

getting subbed off before the 80th and a

play16:50

few sorry if he puts in a couple of bad

play16:52

performances he could come out of that

play16:54

team Spurs have got plenty of options in

play16:56

Burma that's just not going to happen

play16:57

with and then you've got e still I would

play16:59

die on the hill that e is still a good

play17:01

pick Chelsea away is not great this week

play17:03

but then it's Leicester at home in

play17:04

gameweek four he's also cheaper than

play17:06

Madison right and then you got Smith row

play17:08

Rogers people are buying I just don't

play17:10

really see where Madison fits in to

play17:12

teams right now especially with the next

play17:14

two fixures parro fine son fine Madison

play17:17

not really that interested at all right

play17:19

now so after mada's hat-trick he surely

play17:22

has to be UND droppable what are your

play17:24

thoughts on in kunu to madai now when I

play17:26

first saw this question my initial

play17:28

thoughts were everyone is UND droppable

play17:30

until they're not anymore and madai has

play17:33

done himself no harm by scoring a

play17:35

hat-trick I think everyone out there

play17:37

will predict him to be in the first 11

play17:39

against Crystal Palace I definitely

play17:41

would as well the problem is longer term

play17:43

will he remain in the side if he keeps

play17:45

scoring hattricks every week he will but

play17:47

I don't think that's very likely right

play17:49

and the problem with Chelsea and maybe

play17:51

it's because I've been burnt with anunu

play17:52

that I've got this view now there are

play17:54

just too many players there and I don't

play17:56

think they've stopped buying yet if they

play17:58

signed another another one two three

play17:59

players before the transfer window was

play18:01

up would anyone be surprised probably

play18:03

not now you will have that information

play18:05

before the gameweek 3 deadline because

play18:07

the transfer window shuts on Friday but

play18:09

I certainly wouldn't make any early

play18:11

moves and I don't think we can say that

play18:13

maleki is nailed in that right wing spot

play18:15

remember that Palmer played there a lot

play18:17

last season it was basically his

play18:19

position and I know he can play really

play18:21

well centrally we saw that last week and

play18:24

lots of Chelsea fans want him to play

play18:26

centrally that doesn't mean it will

play18:27

happen so let's say they sign even just

play18:30

one player and it's a number nine right

play18:32

there's rumors going around about Tony I

play18:33

think that might be a smoke screen

play18:35

they're going to end up with Oshman

play18:36

let's say that they sign over Tony so I

play18:40

think most weeks Tony or Jackson

play18:42

probably going to start as the number

play18:44

nine so that's one position taken

play18:46

they've just signed Xiao Felix he's

play18:48

great they've gotten kungu he's great

play18:50

right I know for FPL he's now a major

play18:52

issue but let's not forget he's a great

play18:54

player so where do those two players fit

play18:56

into the team do they just get benched

play18:58

every week seems unlikely right one of

play19:00

them could play number 10 let's say Inu

play19:02

gets put there in one of the games then

play19:04

you got someone to play on the left

play19:07

probably Netto could be Xiao Phoenix he

play19:09

could play out there as well well where

play19:10

does Cole Palmer go he's definitely

play19:12

going to play right so he's going to be

play19:13

on the right and even if Palmer plays

play19:16

centrally every game they could put

play19:18

Netto on the right in some games I don't

play19:20

think they've signed him just to sit him

play19:21

on the bench permanently and then you've

play19:23

got Xiao Felix mudri and kungu whoever

play19:26

to play on the left now they could set

play19:28

up in different ways right Xiao Felix or

play19:30

or and kungu could play centrally but

play19:32

this is the problem there are so many

play19:34

combinations I don't think anyone can

play19:36

sit here and say that madai is nailed is

play19:38

he nailed to be in the 11 for Palace at

play19:40

home in gameweek three I'd say probably

play19:42

yes right depending on what happens on

play19:44

Thursday they got another European match

play19:46

against s long term I I just don't know

play19:49

if the minutes are there maybe they will

play19:50

be for the next three four game weeks

play19:52

and that's enough right it's just worth

play19:53

jumping on him you know while he's in

play19:56

great form Etc I'm just not convinced

play19:59

it's worth the headache it's a bit it's

play20:01

annoying situation because the fixtures

play20:02

are so good but I just think there's so

play20:04

many combinations in how they can set up

play20:07

and as much as I think Inu is probably

play20:09

worth getting rid of for FPL I don't

play20:11

think he's done as a Chelsea player I

play20:12

think he's one of their best options and

play20:14

that's the problem they got a ton of

play20:15

them now and madai is not necessarily

play20:18

ahead of all of them in terms of quality

play20:21

and stuff like that but he will be for

play20:23

gameweek three so if you want to jump on

play20:24

him no issues with that but I think he

play20:26

could be an issue longer term and if

play20:29

you've already eaten the price drop for

play20:30

in kungu and you've got a decent 11 you

play20:32

can just bench in this week to be honest

play20:34

I'd just be waiting to see what happens

play20:35

in Game week three now and just make

play20:37

your move ahead of game we four with an

play20:39

extra free transfer so mow is going to

play20:42

make me eat my words I know it but I'm

play20:44

not sure I'd be rushing out to buy him

play20:46

Palmer I get because he's always going

play20:47

to start I don't think I could say that

play20:49

about madai so what do you think about

play20:51

Moreno or Ania as options for not and

play20:54

Forest both are 4.4 million now

play20:57

essentially I think they almost nullify

play20:59

each other as options because they can

play21:02

both play a left back and so I look at

play21:04

it right now and think there's a bit of

play21:05

a minute's concern there like I don't

play21:07

think they've signed Mareno just to sit

play21:09

on the bench but is he going to go

play21:10

straight into the team not necessarily

play21:13

and there was a lot of talk from not and

play21:15

Forest fans in preseason that Ana can

play21:17

also play right back so it might be that

play21:18

long term Moreno is going to play left

play21:20

back Ana is going to play right back and

play21:22

Nico Williams just comes out of the team

play21:24

but I don't know if we can guarantee

play21:26

that right now and I'm just not sure

play21:27

it's worth making a Defender transfer or

play21:31

even putting them on wild card with the

play21:32

uncertainty and also the upcoming

play21:34

fixtures are not amazing like Wolves at

play21:37

home this week is good but then you got

play21:39

two away games against Liverpool and

play21:40

Brighton I don't see clean cheeks in

play21:42

either of them then you got Fulham at

play21:44

home in six which is good but then it's

play21:45

Chelsea away in seven after that it gets

play21:48

decent again Palace at home Leicester

play21:49

away West Ham at home and obviously

play21:51

they're cheap options so you don't have

play21:52

to play them every week you can bench

play21:54

them in the tougher games but I'd want

play21:56

to be sure that they're going to get

play21:57

minutes going forward

play21:59

and look if you're not Forest fan let me

play22:00

know in the comments below Perhaps it is

play22:02

going to be Moreno left back Ana right

play22:04

back but Nico Williams has been pretty

play22:06

good for them possibly maybe he'll leave

play22:08

before the window shuts we'll have to

play22:09

wait and see but I think right now with

play22:11

the information we've got as much as

play22:13

they could be good valy for that price

play22:14

and we've seen how attacking Mareno can

play22:16

be at Aston Villa they're probably in

play22:18

ignore for now so if you have five or

play22:20

six players playing against each other

play22:22

what's the best way to navigate that is

play22:24

it worth a transfer to optimize more

play22:26

points so the way that I would handle

play22:28

this this is to go through each player

play22:30

individually and just decide whether

play22:32

they are worth a transfer is there a

play22:33

player you can bring in that's going to

play22:35

net you more points this week and in the

play22:37

future or would it be better just to

play22:39

save that free transfer and try and

play22:41

forget about the fact you got a bunch of

play22:42

other players playing in the same match

play22:44

so take my team for example now I don't

play22:46

have five or six players in the same

play22:49

match but I've got a combination that a

play22:51

lot of people will have and that's eak

play22:53

versus parro and let's say that my bench

play22:55

was terrible so I've got to play parro

play22:57

and eak this game I would look at eak

play23:00

first and say is there a move I can make

play23:02

bearing in mind I've already made a

play23:04

transfer this week so it take a hit is

play23:06

there a hit worth it to sell eak for

play23:09

absolutely not right so I don't I'm not

play23:11

even taking into account the fact I've

play23:12

got Pedro parro I just don't think

play23:14

there's a transfer worth it for eak even

play23:16

if I had a free transfer I'd probably

play23:18

rather save it than selling eak before

play23:20

Spurs at home now in this scenario I've

play23:23

got no bench right so I look at Pedro

play23:25

parro is there a move I could make

play23:28

that's much better this week and long

play23:30

term as well possibly if I had money in

play23:32

the bank I could go to an Arsenal

play23:34

Defender but then they've got two not so

play23:36

good fixures afterwards Spurs and Man

play23:38

City away I would quite like a Liverpool

play23:40

Defender from gameweek four but they're

play23:42

not that much better for me this week

play23:44

because they play Man United away so I'd

play23:46

probably look at it and say it's

play23:47

probably just worth keeping Pedro parro

play23:50

even though I know once isaach scores

play23:52

I've lost the clean sheet it's still

play23:54

just not worth a transfering my team and

play23:56

that's what I would do in your squad if

play23:58

if you've got four to six players from

play24:01

I'm going to assume it's the Newcastle

play24:02

Spurs game for a lot of people and the

play24:04

fact also by the way that the person

play24:06

that asked this question has nufc in

play24:08

their um username so I'm going to assume

play24:10

it's a Newcastle fan you've probably got

play24:12

a few players I just wouldn't worry

play24:14

about it that much it's not ideal

play24:17

especially if the match ends up being

play24:18

like a boring one-1 draw or something

play24:20

like that but it is possible for

play24:22

multiple players to get points in the

play24:23

same game we've see that plenty of times

play24:25

like eak could score for me and then

play24:27

Pedro par could score as well and that

play24:29

would be the ideal situation from an FPL

play24:31

point of view so that's what I would do

play24:33

I would just take into account every

play24:34

player in isolation and try and forget

play24:37

about the fact they're all playing

play24:39

against each other which is easy to say

play24:41

not as easy to do if you've enjoyed that
