play00:03

what is going on everyone my name is

play00:04

Andy welcome back to another FPL video

play00:07

and this one it's transer tits for game

play00:08

week six I'm going to go through some of

play00:09

the popular players being moved in and

play00:11

out of people's squads and discuss

play00:13

whether they are good moves or not so as

play00:14

always if you enjoyed the video and find

play00:16

it useful make sure to give it a like

play00:18

hit that subscribe button if you haven't

play00:19

done so already and don't forget to

play00:21

check out fantasy football Hub to get

play00:22

your suggested transfers there is 50%

play00:25

off at the moment if you sign up but

play00:26

that offer is ending this week links in

play00:28

the description below more on that to

play00:30

come later so I think we've got to start

play00:32

with Luis Diaz he began the season at

play00:34

7.5 million he's now gone up to 7.9 he's

play00:37

already had a priz rise this week over

play00:39

600,000 transfers in it's just a matter

play00:41

of when not if he goes to 8 million and

play00:44

that will almost certainly happen ahead

play00:45

of the gameweek six deadline so by the

play00:47

time we get to Saturday Lewis Diaz will

play00:49

probably be an 8 million pound player

play00:52

and I am still struggling to decide how

play00:55

much of an like good option I think he

play00:57

is going forward like I'm not stupid I

play00:59

can clearly that he's played really well

play01:00

for Liverpool so far he's clearly First

play01:03

Choice left wing as well I don't have

play01:04

any doubts about that three double digit

play01:06

Halles and he's the top scoring

play01:08

midfielder if he keeps this up the price

play01:11

is an absolute joke and he should be

play01:12

locked into my team but why isn't that

play01:14

the case I'm wild card in this week why

play01:16

am I still having doubts about whether

play01:18

he should be in I've said that I'm going

play01:19

to lock sacka Rogers and Burma in why

play01:21

not Lis Diaz the things that are playing

play01:24

on my mind is the slot comments about

play01:27

wanting to play gakpo in gameweek four

play01:29

that was something he literally said

play01:31

that he wanted to play gapo at least he

play01:32

was intending to but Lis Diaz came back

play01:35

fitter from the international break then

play01:37

obviously Lis Diaz gets benched in the

play01:38

Champions League and of course from an

play01:40

FPL point of view if all Lis Diaz

play01:42

benchings come in the Champions League

play01:44

that is perfect but they might not at

play01:46

some point at some point over the next

play01:48

six game weeks he may get benched now a

play01:50

lot of people will argue if he keeps

play01:52

this up one bench in in six game which

play01:54

is not a problem and I would probably

play01:56

agree but what if that turns into two

play01:58

benchings and a blank in one of the the

play02:00

games suddenly doesn't look like quite

play02:02

like such a good option and I think the

play02:03

thing that's happening right now and

play02:06

this is where I'm a little bit

play02:07

conflicted is I don't necessarily think

play02:11

that because this is what's happened so

play02:12

far and Diaz has been amazing means that

play02:14

it's always going to happen in the

play02:15

future like some people have said to me

play02:17

you've got to have Liverpool players

play02:18

they're in form but part of the reason

play02:20

they're in form is because of the

play02:22

fixtures they've had right there's a

play02:24

reason that people went for them very

play02:25

early on they had ipswitch brenford man

play02:28

united which for Liverpool is a pretty

play02:29

good fixture Forest at home and

play02:31

Bournemouth at home we all saw those

play02:32

fixtures in pre-season and most of us

play02:35

had at least one Liverpool player that's

play02:37

not what they've got in front of them

play02:39

wolves away is a pretty good fixture

play02:41

Palace away a bit trickier Chelsea at

play02:42

home a little bit trickier again and

play02:44

then AR away in game week n is really

play02:47

hard right lots of people didn't even

play02:48

Captain earling Harland against Arsenal

play02:50

at home how well is Lis Diaz going to do

play02:53

away from home so the next four fixures

play02:55

don't look quite so good there is

play02:57

possibly one benching in there as well

play02:59

well and look he's putting up really

play03:01

good numbers 0.68 expected guards per 90

play03:04

is fantastic even if you account for the

play03:06

fact he never gets or very rarely gets

play03:08

past 70 minutes that's still good but

play03:11

he's got goals at 1.25 per 90 minutes so

play03:14

he's also overperforming a little bit

play03:17

this is why I'm conflicted I'm not I

play03:19

don't on these videos I try not to say

play03:21

this player is absolutely essential or

play03:23

this player should be completely avoided

play03:24

I'm trying to give you both sides to the

play03:26

story because I know lots of people are

play03:28

looking at Diaz thinking why are you

play03:29

even talking about this just get him in

play03:31

your team and I am wondering whether

play03:34

I've got it wrong because so many people

play03:35

are buying him so many people are sure

play03:37

that he's a great option I'm fine to

play03:40

admit that maybe I'm just wrong on this

play03:42

and I could be but also he's getting to

play03:44

a price point now where you've really

play03:45

got to be sure about it because there's

play03:47

lots of good cheaper options as well and

play03:50

as you know there's a certain player

play03:51

around that price that takes penalties

play03:53

and will play every single minute over

play03:55

the next six to to 10 game weeks that

play03:57

I'm considering as well I don't know I I

play03:59

can't sit here and say he's a bad option

play04:01

right if you want to bring him in you

play04:02

absolutely should like wolves away on

play04:04

its own is an amazing

play04:06

fixture but what happens after the next

play04:09

International break does gakpo play that

play04:10

game and if he does right let's say he

play04:13

play when is the next International

play04:14

break I think he after game week seven I

play04:15

mean it's Chelsea at home so perhaps Lis

play04:17

Diaz just plays that because it's

play04:18

Chelsea but what if he gets bench in I

play04:21

don't know 10 or 11 against Brighton or

play04:22

Villa should that be playing on my mind

play04:25

I hate I think it's easy to say now that

play04:28

who cares about one benching he can do

play04:30

damage Off the Bench and he'll score

play04:31

enough points in the other games but if

play04:33

that doesn't happen he doesn't score Off

play04:34

the Bench and he blanks I'm telling you

play04:36

now I've been in so many times before

play04:39

people will change their opinion as soon

play04:41

as the blank happens

play04:43

so I won't I will not sit here and say

play04:46

he's a bad pick he's clearly not he's a

play04:49

really good pick but I'm still not no

play04:51

matter how much I think about and I read

play04:53

the comments I'm still not fully on

play04:56

board with it could I see him making my

play04:58

final Wild Card draft there's potential

play05:00

there I'm not rolling them out

play05:02

completely but I I still think it's

play05:04

unlikely there's only like one Midfield

play05:06

spot for most people on wild card like

play05:09

sacka and Rogers maybe there's two

play05:12

after that but one of them's probably

play05:14

got to be quite cheap like seeno or

play05:15

mcneel or or Smith row so you got one

play05:18

more spot so it's Lis Diaz versus

play05:20

everyone else I'm just R I'm just really

play05:23

just trying to get my thoughts out out

play05:25

there cuz I'm struggling with this one I

play05:27

think it's easy when no one else is

play05:29

buying a to say Well they're just not

play05:30

good it's not so easy to say no I don't

play05:32

rate Lis di as an as an option when over

play05:35

600,000 people have brought him in again

play05:37

bearing in mind he had quite a lot of

play05:39

sales in previous weeks but I'm rambling

play05:41

now that's the reason that I'm not quite

play05:44

sure I may just go for him I can always

play05:46

fix it down the line if I want to he's a

play05:48

good pick I'm sure just a quick reminder

play05:50

that if you're struggling for what

play05:51

transfer to make in your own team you

play05:53

can use the AI suggested transfers tour

play05:55

over on fantasy football Hub so I've got

play05:57

my team in the tour right now or you you

play05:59

have to do is click on AI transfers at

play06:01

the top it will think about which moves

play06:03

to make and then give you a

play06:04

recommendation so as many of you know

play06:06

I'm on a wild card this week but just as

play06:07

an example if I wasn't the tool wants me

play06:09

to do Pedro parro to Gabrielle with the

play06:11

money that I had in the bank which looks

play06:13

like a pretty good transfer with the

play06:14

fixtures that Arsenal have got coming up

play06:16

and to some people that might look like

play06:18

an obvious transfer but it's nice to get

play06:19

confirmation from the tool that it

play06:21

thinks that is the best move to make if

play06:23

you're looking at that thinking well I

play06:24

don't really want to sell parro you can

play06:26

click on the don't sell button and get

play06:28

it to give you a different set transfers

play06:30

likewise you can use the custom

play06:32

transfers filter if there's particular

play06:34

players you want to bring in so let's

play06:36

say you want only recommendations from

play06:38

Arsenal this week because the Leicester

play06:39

at home Southampton at home you can do

play06:41

that and get it to suggest you moves at

play06:43

the moment there is 50% off and that

play06:45

will give you access to all the tools if

play06:47

you sign up yearly and that offer is

play06:49

ending this week otherwise if you just

play06:51

want to try it out you can sign up

play06:52

monthly so it's not just this tool that

play06:54

you've got access to but the op to Stats

play06:56

fixture analyzer and more links in the

play06:58

description below so let's talk about

play07:00

Salah next over 200,000 transfers out so

play07:03

far this week and it is worth saying

play07:04

this is a very popular Wild Card week so

play07:07

most of those transfers might be people

play07:08

on wild card and I think it is okay to

play07:10

go without him I've said that for a

play07:12

couple of weeks now game we four game

play07:14

week five wild card I would have

play07:15

probably kept Salah for captaincy

play07:17

especially in game week five but game

play07:19

week six onwards there are lots of weeks

play07:21

where you can just Captain Harland and

play07:23

between the two if I was only going for

play07:24

one at the moment I think it has to be

play07:26

Harland and I don't like going for both

play07:28

because I'd rather SP spend that money

play07:30

elsewhere it's perfectly reasonable on

play07:32

wild card to keep Salah I've seen some

play07:34

pretty good drafts going around my

play07:36

preference is just to go without have

play07:38

sacer instead and then an extra 2.5 2.6

play07:42

million whatever it is now to spend

play07:43

elsewhere let's talk about it from the

play07:45

point of view you're not wild carding

play07:47

and you're considering selling him if

play07:50

you've got two or three transfers and

play07:52

you're shifting funds around I think

play07:55

that's a pretty good move so let's say

play07:56

you're doing something like Salah to

play07:58

sacka which is what most people are

play08:00

looking at or even like Salah to Palmer

play08:02

and then that money is going to be used

play08:03

for another move like a 4.5 million

play08:06

Defender to Gabrielle I like that and in

play08:08

that situation I would probably sell

play08:10

Salah as long as you're happy not having

play08:12

him for a good few weeks now so I think

play08:14

once he's gone you shouldn't be looking

play08:16

in a couple of gameweeks time to bring

play08:17

him back not for Chelsea at home Arsenal

play08:20

away it's probably one for gameweek 10

play08:22

or onwards so if you're happy with that

play08:23

I mean that's a good use of multiple

play08:25

transfers if you're in the situation

play08:27

where you've only got one transfer

play08:29

should you be selling him to sacka I'm

play08:31

not convinced like sacka is great this

play08:34

week against Leicester at home but I

play08:36

don't think he's miles ahead of Salah

play08:37

against Wolves Away wolves themselves

play08:39

have got a lot of defensive problems

play08:41

moscara is going to be out now for that

play08:43

game as well they're already conceding a

play08:45

lot of goals that's a good fixture and

play08:49

sometimes people want to make a one

play08:50

transfer move to have funds in a future

play08:52

week but in that case I would rather

play08:54

just roll the transfer keep Salah he's

play08:56

just as good I would say as sacka this

play08:59

week or at least at least close to and

play09:01

you can decide what to do next week with

play09:02

two fre transfers instead and it might

play09:04

be that Salah does so well against

play09:05

wolves you have a change of heart and

play09:07

you want to keep hold of him and I think

play09:09

with the fixtures that sakur has got he

play09:12

is

play09:13

great but this week against Leicester at

play09:16

home most people are going to Captain

play09:17

Harland against Newcastle away you could

play09:19

also look at Salah against wolves away

play09:21

as a differential captain or just to

play09:23

keep this week and then in game week

play09:25

seven when sack's got Southampton at

play09:27

home which is arguably even easier than

play09:29

leester at home harland's then got a

play09:31

home game against Fulham so again most

play09:33

people are just going to Captain harand

play09:35

instead sacka against Leicester and

play09:38

Southampton at home again is a nice

play09:40

differential Captain if you want to go

play09:41

different over someone like Harland or

play09:43

Salah so I'm not saying you can't do

play09:45

that single move but I think in a lot of

play09:47

cases if I look at people's squads and

play09:48

they got one transfer with Salah in

play09:50

there I don't think the moving to sacker

play09:52

in gameweek six is necessarily a

play09:54

priority and you could just wait until

play09:56

you got two transfers next week to see

play09:58

if there's a different kind of move you

play09:59

want to make and if it still ends up

play10:00

being Salah to saaka that is fine right

play10:03

doesn't mean you have to do it this week

play10:05

so on wild card I'm okay going without

play10:07

him multiple transfers to fund other

play10:09

moves I like selling him this week

play10:11

single transfer I think about keeping

play10:14

him so as expected Brian and Burma

play10:16

heavily transferred in ahead of gameweek

play10:17

six over 450,000 transfers in already

play10:21

this week and the guys already got four

play10:23

goals in the first five game we so I

play10:24

feel like that's kind of gone under the

play10:26

radar a little bit especially when

play10:27

they've already played Liverpool City

play10:30

and Spurs away from home now to be fair

play10:32

he blanked against Liverpool and City

play10:34

away but a lot of players do he's got a

play10:36

goal against Palace in gameweek one two

play10:38

goals against Southampton in three and

play10:40

then a goal against Spurs in gameweek

play10:42

five so I think any concerns about

play10:45

Thiago vissa Tony not being there I

play10:48

don't really think IR relevant he is

play10:50

just an amazing FPL pick that has got

play10:52

everything you could want and at 7.2

play10:54

million I go as far as saying that he's

play10:57

a bargain I listened to Planet FPL the

play10:59

other day today and I know James didn't

play11:00

want to go as far to say that he's

play11:02

essential but I think he's pretty close

play11:04

to it because of the value that he

play11:05

offers 90-minute man on penalties really

play11:08

good stats as well by the way he is just

play11:10

a quality player .35 expected gos per 90

play11:14

.26 expected assist I think in Burma in

play11:17

the next season or two is going to get

play11:18

picked up by a bigger club and the

play11:20

fixures are just ridiculous West Ham at

play11:22

home Wolves at home United away ipswitch

play11:24

at home Fulham away bouth at home

play11:26

there's nothing to worry about there and

play11:28

even after to that you go on a bit

play11:30

longer it's uh where did I get up to

play11:32

Bournemouth at home I think Everton away

play11:34

Lester at home you know Villa away

play11:36

Newcastle at home right now does not

play11:38

look like a bad fixture okay Chelsea

play11:40

away in gameweek 16 is a little bit

play11:42

tougher that's miles away right we don't

play11:44

care about that right now so if you're

play11:47

going to ask me at any point this week

play11:48

in the comments on the deadline stream

play11:50

is in Burma a good transfer in yes yes

play11:52

he is so I think I've got to quickly

play11:54

talk about Duran another appearance off

play11:56

the bench for Aston Villa another goal

play11:58

the guy now has four goals in the first

play12:00

five game weeks which is absolutely

play12:02

ridiculous and if you look at his goals

play12:04

per 90 minutes this season is

play12:06

2.75 which is absolutely mad he's had

play12:09

over 130,000 transfers in this week but

play12:12

I've got to say surprise surprise you

play12:14

probably shouldn't be buying him I know

play12:16

6.1 million looks like a nice price but

play12:18

for that money you can get chriswood

play12:20

calv lein absolutely nailed on to St on

play12:22

penalties as well like I get it he

play12:25

scored four goals Off the Bench if that

play12:27

continues he's still a pretty good price

play12:29

but it's not going to he's not going to

play12:31

continue scoring at this rate I don't

play12:33

think that's a crazy thing to say and I

play12:35

suspect that some people are looking at

play12:36

it as what he will keep scoring Off the

play12:38

Bench and because he's doing so well Uno

play12:41

Emory will have to play him at some

play12:43

point and I suspect that will happen Uno

play12:45

emy's already mentioned it's up to him

play12:47

to find a way to get Duran and Watkins

play12:49

in the team they've got to learn to play

play12:51

together and stuff like that it's going

play12:53

to be hard to keep him down but I think

play12:55

he'll get his chance to start in the

play12:56

carabal cup this week and then I suspect

play12:58

rips away it'll be Rogers at the 10 and

play13:01

Watkins as the nine you just can't buy

play13:04

players in FPL that you know are going

play13:05

to get benched like this rate of returns

play13:08

will not continue if he begins to get

play13:11

into the 11 different conversation for

play13:13

that price he could be great although at

play13:15

that point I suspect in classic FPL

play13:17

style he'll stop returning so he'll get

play13:19

starts and then the goals will dry up I

play13:21

could just predict that happening but if

play13:23

he does start we come back to it but for

play13:25

now he's an easier void for me so I want

play13:27

to talk about Gabrielle next and look

play13:28

he's he's handed 500,000 transfers in

play13:31

he's got goals against Spurs away and

play13:32

City away plus three clean sheets in the

play13:34

first five game weeks you do not need me

play13:36

to tell you that he's a good pick he

play13:38

just is but I want to talk about a

play13:40

couple of things one should you still go

play13:42

for Gabrielle over celba given that he's

play13:44

now gone up to 6.1 million and also for

play13:47

people with CBA should you be using a

play13:49

transfer to make a sideways move to

play13:51

Gabrielle now on the price thing I think

play13:53

while it's only 0.1 million difference

play13:56

you definitely go for Gabrielle it's

play13:57

pretty clear to see and to be honest I

play13:59

think it has been for the last season or

play14:01

so that Gabrielle has higher goal threat

play14:04

from set pieces it hasn't always worked

play14:06

out in previous Seasons that when people

play14:08

have gone for Gabrielle over CBA that

play14:10

he's got all the goals in the you know

play14:12

period that people have owned him but I

play14:14

think overall if you're looking at this

play14:15

season the next season and they both get

play14:17

similar minutes Gabrielle will get more

play14:20

returns and it's not that celba is a

play14:22

terrible option or anything like that or

play14:24

that he can't score because he has done

play14:26

that over the last couple of years like

play14:28

two goals last season two goals the

play14:30

season before but if you look at

play14:32

Gabrielle it was three goals last season

play14:35

three the year before that five goals

play14:37

the previous season as well he's got

play14:39

history of doing this so I think at the

play14:42

moment while he's 6.1 if you've got the

play14:44

money you just spend that little bit

play14:46

extra if it gets to the point where CBA

play14:48

drops to 5.9 and Gabrielle goes up to

play14:51

6.2 I think we revisit it if you haven't

play14:54

bought in Arsenal Defenders yet and at

play14:56

that point maybe you go for celba you

play14:58

just take the chance on the goals and

play15:00

just save the money but right now it's

play15:02

only 0.1 million difference on the

play15:04

sideways move I think that's a little

play15:06

bit trickier my gut instinct is if I had

play15:09

CBA I would not use a transfer to go to

play15:12

Gabrielle I would fix that on wild card

play15:14

if you've already wild carded it is a

play15:17

little bit trickier but I still think

play15:19

that that transfer will be more useful

play15:22

elsewhere I think you'll gain more

play15:23

points by using on a different issue in

play15:25

your team than switching celba to

play15:28

Gabrielle maybe if you get to the point

play15:30

where you've got three or four saved up

play15:33

and your team still looks fantastic you

play15:35

got no moves to make maybe at that point

play15:37

you do it but I'm not convinced I would

play15:39

do it right now of course that's going

play15:41

to look really stupid if Gabrielle

play15:43

scores another goal in each of the next

play15:44

two games but I just think if

play15:47

you're if you've already got CBA you're

play15:50

already covering those clean sheets you

play15:51

know he's absolutely now on right SBA is

play15:53

going nowhere I don't think Gabrielle is

play15:55

either by the way I think you're better

play15:57

off just saving the transfer like it is

play16:00

one of

play16:01

those like tricky decisions because you

play16:04

just continue to look stupid if

play16:06

Gabrielle keeps scoring and I do think

play16:08

he has the higher goal threat but it

play16:10

might be that CBA gets a goal over the

play16:11

next couple you just don't know I think

play16:13

in most cases I just wouldn't use a

play16:15

transfer especially if I had one like

play16:16

you never know what's going to happen

play16:18

next week with injury suspensions and

play16:19

stuff like that I think there'll be a

play16:21

better use of a transfer so I would pay

play16:23

the extra 0.1 if I'm buying new right

play16:26

now and maybe even for 0 2 uh million

play16:29

difference I would still do it but if I

play16:30

had celba I think I would hold the

play16:32

transfer rather than moving to Gabrielle

play16:34

so I've just spoken about Gabrielle and

play16:36

I showed you my suggested transfers

play16:38

earlier which were porro to Gabrielle

play16:40

and that probably explains why porro has

play16:41

had nearly 200,000 transfers out this

play16:44

week and I think my general opinion on

play16:46

selling parro is it's fine if you want

play16:48

to do it to get an Arsenal Defender that

play16:51

makes a lot of sense I still think from

play16:53

game week eight onwards Spurs fixures

play16:55

are quite good West Ham at home Palace

play16:57

away Villa at home IPS which home not

play16:59

perfect but still pretty decent for a

play17:02

Defender that's fairly attacking and is

play17:04

absolutely nailed on and one thing to

play17:07

point out is Spurs defense actually

play17:09

hasn't been that bad so far now they're

play17:11

a defense that I don't mind playing my

play17:14

attackers against and I think we always

play17:16

see them as a team that are going to

play17:17

concede at least one goal and they did

play17:19

again at the weekend against brenford

play17:21

and maybe Vicario was a bit dodgy at

play17:23

times and stuff like that but actually

play17:25

when I was looking on the opta stats

play17:27

tool on HUB if I just go two teams here

play17:30

then expected goals conceded for the

play17:31

season so far ipswitch brenford West Ham

play17:34

Southampton the bottom four and by the

play17:37

way with brenford anyone considering

play17:38

like fleen or someone like that they

play17:40

have had pretty tough games City

play17:42

Liverpool and Spurs away from home I

play17:43

think those defensive numbers will

play17:44

improve but anyway we're talking about

play17:46

Spurs the best four teams so far

play17:49

Liverpool 3.7 City 3.8 Forest 4.4 and

play17:54

then Spurs 4.9 so even ahead of Arsenal

play17:56

now Arsenal have played a couple of

play17:58

games down to 10 men and stuff like that

play18:00

they've also played Man City Etc but I

play18:03

still think that's quite good for Spurs

play18:04

so far to have been in the top five now

play18:07

they have had okayish fixtures to be

play18:09

fair they've played Arsenal but then the

play18:11

rest of them are Leicester Everton

play18:13

Newcastle and brenford but compared to

play18:15

what we saw last year when Spurs

play18:17

defensive numbers were terrible that is

play18:19

pretty promising going forward and I

play18:21

think it does help that they've got a

play18:23

lot of players fit last year they had a

play18:25

lot of issues with like vaner doy missed

play18:27

out of course as well the miss out at

play18:29

some point I think he might have done I

play18:30

might be wrong about that but either way

play18:32

they've got their first choice back four

play18:34

the attacks doing well I think salanki

play18:35

also helps their defense he's very good

play18:37

pressing from the front allows them to

play18:39

do that a bit better I guess what I'm

play18:41

trying to say in a longwinded way Spurs

play18:43

defense is probably better than it was

play18:45

last year the fixtures coming up are

play18:46

good there is every reason to hold porro

play18:49

but I completely get why people are

play18:50

selling him and I don't think it's a

play18:52

problem um whatsoever also he has gone

play18:55

up from 5.5 to 5.6 million

play18:59

but I was checking the price changes and

play19:01

he's very close to going back down to

play19:03

5.5 so if you're worried about selling

play19:05

him because you got money wrapped up I

play19:08

wouldn't be so selling parro is fine but

play19:10

I do think game week eight onwards is

play19:12

still a pretty good option so it's

play19:14

Alexander eak next and I think at this

play19:16

point it's probably time to just submit

play19:17

defeat with him he started the season at

play19:19

8.5 he's dropped to 8.3 nearly 400,000

play19:22

transfers out this week it's City at

play19:24

home in six even Everton away in

play19:26

gameweek seven now doesn't look like the

play19:28

easy fixture if mikeno and brane are

play19:31

back especially with the way that

play19:32

Newcastle are playing Chelsea away in

play19:34

nine Arsenal at home in 10 it's not a

play19:36

great fixture run they haven't played

play19:38

particularly well this season and isak

play19:40

definitely hasn't I think compared to

play19:42

what we expected from him he's been

play19:44

pretty poor only two attacking returns

play19:46

this uh season so far 0.31 expected

play19:49

goals per 90 it's right down on what

play19:51

we've we've come to expect and I look

play19:54

back to preseason I think did we just

play19:56

get it massively wrong because there was

play19:58

hardly any people that were against eak

play20:00

as a pick you're always going to get

play20:02

someone that thinks a player is a trap

play20:04

or whatever and in this case maybe they

play20:06

were right but I don't think I think

play20:08

with the fixtures Newcastle had and the

play20:09

price that eak was put at the fact that

play20:12

he was on penalties there's no Callum

play20:13

Wilson I Still stand by the fact he was

play20:15

a good pick and it just hasn't worked

play20:17

out and that can sometimes happen but I

play20:19

guess at some point you've got to like I

play20:20

say admit defeat uh and it's sometimes

play20:23

easier to do that with certain players

play20:25

than others of course but yeah I think

play20:27

with the fixtures they've got coming up

play20:29

the way that he's playing the other good

play20:31

forwards that we have to choose from at

play20:32

the moment obviously harand Jackson

play20:34

salanki havit chriswood calv Le Xiao

play20:37

Pedro if he's fit Etc there's only three

play20:40

spots and I just don't Watkins as well

play20:42

by the way before I forget about him

play20:44

there's only three spots and I don't

play20:45

think that isach should be taking up one

play20:48

so whether you're on wild card or not

play20:50

he's a pretty good seller at the moment

play20:52

so speaking of forward let's talk about

play20:53

Nicholas Jackson next over 400,000 TR is

play20:56

in so far this week after his two go one

play20:59

assist against West Ham he's now up to

play21:00

7.7 million and in general I think he's

play21:03

a really good FPL pick I owned him for a

play21:05

lot of last season because the

play21:06

underlying stats like his expected goals

play21:08

were decent didn't always translate into

play21:10

goals when I owned him but for the

play21:12

season he got 16 in his debut season for

play21:15

Chelsea I think that's really impressive

play21:17

and he's carried that on into this year

play21:18

0.78 expected gos per 90 four goals two

play21:22

assists from the first five game weeks

play21:24

including having already played Man City

play21:26

in gameweek one so he is just a good

play21:28

option is now the right time to bring

play21:31

him in I'm not 100% sure and I think a

play21:34

lot of it will depend on whether you're

play21:36

wild carding who else you're looking to

play21:37

bring in later how many free transfers

play21:39

you've got and stuff like that but

play21:41

overall I don't know if the timing is

play21:43

correct because from game week eight

play21:45

onwards Chelsea have got Liverpool away

play21:47

Newcastle at home man united away and

play21:49

Arsenal at home that looks to be a

play21:51

little bit of a tricky run and obviously

play21:53

as I already mentioned with porro that

play21:55

is a time when Spurs have got pretty

play21:57

good fixtures and salanki is slightly

play21:59

cheaper than Jackson so you got West Ham

play22:02

at home Palace away Viller at home

play22:04

ipswitch at home up against those four

play22:06

fixures that I just mentioned for

play22:08

Chelsea even after that for Spurs it's

play22:10

City away in 12 but then it's Fulham at

play22:12

home and Bournemouth away which is

play22:13

pretty good then it's Chelsea at home in

play22:15

15 but then it's Southampton away in 16

play22:18

so I think for six and seven Jackson is

play22:21

probably a little bit better than

play22:23

salanki but I think straight after that

play22:25

sank is better so that's why I'm

play22:28

questioning whether now is the right

play22:29

time to bring him in if you're sitting

play22:30

there with three or four transfers or

play22:32

you're wild carding and straight after

play22:34

you're going to have like two or three

play22:36

then maybe you go for Jackson for two

play22:37

weeks and then get in salanki later that

play22:40

could be a good use of transfers but

play22:42

even then like Brighton at home and

play22:43

Forest side were not necessarily easy

play22:46

but also Chelsea have played pretty well

play22:48

and actually for all the jokes and stuff

play22:49

about the players they've brought moresa

play22:51

and stuff like that they've got really

play22:53

good squad depth which of course means

play22:55

that Jackson might get bought off early

play22:57

at times but it just means overall

play22:59

whenever they make a substitution

play23:00

especially in attack it doesn't really

play23:02

weaken their team so I I think you can

play23:04

frame it different ways from eight

play23:06

onwards I definitely prefer salanki but

play23:09

actually three of the next four at home

play23:11

Brighton forest and Newcastle not the

play23:12

easiest fixtures but not terrible either

play23:15

and maybe you just look past the

play23:17

Liverpool away game the only slight

play23:19

thing with him is this does remind me a

play23:21

little bit of after gameweek two madai

play23:25

goes and bangs a hat trick everyone

play23:26

brings him in then he blanks a three

play23:28

games and similar with Cole Palmer now

play23:30

he hasn't blanked but he was suddenly

play23:32

really popular after four returns then

play23:34

he goes and gets an assist in three a

play23:36

goal in five and people aren't so keen

play23:38

on him I think Jackson's done really

play23:40

well he is just a good pick but a lot of

play23:43

the reason he's being transed in is

play23:44

because he's just got three returns and

play23:46

obviously you can't expect that every

play23:47

single week and if you're buying him

play23:49

expecting him to continue that it's just

play23:51

not going to happen so in isolation good

play23:53

pick I prefer salanki from eight but no

play23:55

harm bringing him in and maybe moving

play23:57

him on later if you want to so I was a

play23:58

little bit surprised to see that canate

play24:00

had been brought in by over 100,000 FPL

play24:02

managers this week but then I thought

play24:04

maybe I shouldn't be surprised maybe

play24:05

it's just been a mistake not really

play24:07

recommending him as an option over the

play24:09

first few weeks because since he came in

play24:11

at halim in gameweek one he started

play24:13

every single game and he's much cheaper

play24:15

than van djk Robertson Trent Etc getting

play24:18

a Liverpool Defender for 5.1 sounds

play24:20

pretty good that being said I do

play24:23

question whether this is the right time

play24:25

to bring him in first of all from a

play24:27

fixture's point of view You could argue

play24:29

that Salah and Diaz Etc are still really

play24:31

good because Wolves Away Palace away and

play24:32

Chelsea home is not that bad but from a

play24:35

defensive point of view it doesn't look

play24:37

great I would say you got two away games

play24:39

yes wolves are struggling defensively

play24:41

and that might affect their overall game

play24:43

but they've still got a decent enough

play24:44

attack Palace away the like some mateta

play24:47

intia e then it's Chelsea at home which

play24:49

won't be easy then Arsenal away in nine

play24:51

so I'm not sure how many clean sheets I

play24:53

really see there for Liverpool and

play24:56

canate doesn't really have the attacking

play24:58

upside that the likes of Trent do but

play25:01

obviously he is or or Trent does I

play25:02

should say but he is a lot cheaper so

play25:05

again I'm a little bit conflicted in

play25:06

General on Liverpool because they have

play25:08

played really well the defensive numbers

play25:10

are excellent so far any concerns people

play25:12

had by the way I didn't have these

play25:14

concerns but any concerns that people

play25:15

had in preseason about a drop off under

play25:17

slot not happen at all but they've also

play25:20

had really good fixtures that is playing

play25:22

a part in how well they've done and the

play25:24

fixtures are about to turn so I think

play25:26

canate is fine I'm not expecting a huge

play25:29

dramatic clean sheets and also with the

play25:31

amount of midweek games coming up now I

play25:34

just feel like canate will break at some

play25:35

point or there will be some rotation

play25:38

with K Quanza now in the short term I

play25:40

don't think it's a problem there's a

play25:41

carabal cut fixure that's a great time

play25:42

to play Quanza rest canate and have him

play25:45

play against wolves away but I just

play25:47

think over the next kind of four or five

play25:49

game weeks we may see him miss a Premier

play25:52

League game possibly maybe this is just

play25:54

going to be the season where he

play25:55

continues to play and he's absolutely

play25:57

fine but we've seen seen plenty of times

play25:59

before that he's not able to play that

play26:01

many matches so in theory it looks great

play26:04

but personally this is one that I'd

play26:06

prefer to come back to in gameweek 10

play26:08

when Liverpool's fixtures get good again
