Bro, I was captaining palmer too, and I thought I was gonna be the only one. I wanna be ranked 1 not have a comfy 100k like other creators want. This made me very happy when you said that and shows your mindset in FPL is so similar to mine as we both have picks like hall too. 😂😂
Hey Jian, I discovered your channel through FPL therapy with Ross and my word, I am absolutely LOVING your content. Your analysis, your rationale, your confidence to go with what you think - it's genuinely so refreshing to watch. I feel like with FPL twitter, yt, and other forms of content, it's super easy to get sucked into whatever the trending transfers and decisions are and almost let the trends dictate the way you think (which is okay to an extent, but imo it's equally, if not more, important to be able to think completely independently) but you just seem to defy whatever the trends are and think independently with such great insights - it's honestly brilliant to listen to and watch and learn from. Earnt a big new fan mate, keep it going!
Yeah, I concur. I got in last month and feel exactly the same. I like making non-template moves and so glad to see someone who treats FPL for what it is - a game you can have some fun with.
Hello my friend, To be able to send a message like this to a “stranger” across the internet, you must be a brilliant person. That is not lost on me. Thank you very much for your support, and I shall do my best to continually improve your experience. The best of luck this week, and feel free to DM me on X whenever. Thank you once again. Jian
Salah is playing at balon d’or level. Feels like his farewell tour. His record against Utd is ridiculous over recent seasons. Isak is a better captain option than Palmer as the Spurs defence is depleted
Credit to you for taking on Salah again. I’ve been doing it occasionally so far, and it has yet to pay off. I admire your courage. It can either be a huge coup or another 20-30 point swing in favour of the masses. Who knows, maybe even a stalemate? Good luck with it, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
Top notch as always, Jian! Feeling a bit stuck with my team. Currently on double ARS defense and a double cheap mid structure (Amad/rogers). Can only afford one of either Amad to Gordon or Saliba to Trent. I’m hesitant on the latter because it feels like a luxury move but also wondering if no LIV defense is asking for trouble. Thank you for your amazing content. Wouldn’t be where I am without you!
Love the content as always. Big differential on the captain decision, as a Man United fan I will be putting the armband on Salah, unfortunately cant see anything other than a 3/4-0 Liverpool. Ugarte, Bruno and Mainoo all played vs Bournemouth... Good luck this week.
Brave of you Jian to going against Salah this week..but what I like is your decision making process and the conviction that you have to follow through 👍🏽All the best! May I seek your views on Enzo as an FPL asset please - would you start him against Palace? Or do you view him as more of an 8th attacker for the bench. Thank you.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on who you believe to be the best Liverpool triple up. I'm currently stuck on whether i want Trent, Diaz or Gakpo to join my double of Salah and Alisson. Great video as always though bro, keep it up
Great stuff mate, as usual, really enjoying it! Your opinion about Semenyo in this GW and the Fulham's defense recently, as I am not sure if it is too risky to play Andersen alongside Castagne (owning both)?
Thoughts on Gvardiol to Mykolenko and Rogers to Gordon next week (GW21). After seeing Citys performance vs Leicester I dont think they keep a CS against Brentford or Ipswich. Thats the reason I wanna get rid of him early to chase the upside with Gordon.
I think Liverpool have a way higher ceiling. I am not that convinced about Palace defence, I don't see many cs. But I don't think they are very leaky either, I expect them only to concede 1-2 a game. I honestly think United are so bad that they will realistically concede 4 or 5 away at Liverpool. Include Chelsea's form and Liverpools form in that, and Salah is the clear favorite. Last week Palmer was a good shout, but this is madness.
What do you think of Gabriel Jesus as a Cunha replacement? Also is Sarr worth the money saving over Gordon? Do you think Isak Captain is viable, I can see him scoring loads of goals with Spurs injuries?
I agree with how Arsenal will concede away at Brighton, no Timber and Calafiori is a little inconsistent makes me want to play Pau Torres over Gabriel (tho Villa will likely concede from silly goal). The deadline will give me benching headache on who to bench between Pau, Hall, or Gabriel. Good luck on Palmer captaincy. I have Deano so I will not go that way and just stick with Salah 😅
I admire your choice of Palmer and you clearly understand the risks . However , I do envisage liverpool getting 2-4 goals v united . I also think that with foden and gvardiol you have your differentials . It would be a shame to have hauls from your city players offset by salah outscoring palmer.
Keep up the good work man- we see the progress, Could you talk about ‘Wood vs Wissa’ in the ‘Solving Your Problems’ video? For me, it’s really tough. And why isn’t Jesus being mentioned? Do you also think Arsenal’s corners are taken less effectively without Saka and even without Rice (if he’s on the bench)? *The quality of the crosses* - Respect for your choices man. Pff.
More food for thought, currently have a benching headache in defence with Gabriel, Aina, Hall and Munoz (and you could also argue van den Berg)… can’t decide on how to approach it
Indeed, your Team Selection is quite interesting😆..! But great insights still overall and a fire video! I'm moving Timber --> Trent as a standalone move. But I'm unsure yet who to get for a Cunha replacement, or if waiting and holding the transfer is better. At the moment, holding Cunha would leave me 3 FT again for gw21. With my budget I can get any forwards up to 7.4mil, but the options aren't so appealing. I own Isak and JP. So the obvious swap is Chris Wood, or maybe Mateta. What do you think? Would love to hear your opinion.
@@FPLJianBatra ♥If you had to bench one out of Konsa, Hall, Sarr, JP, and Mateta, who would you bench? Personally I would bench Hall, but you never know with him.😅 On the other hand, I could play the first 4 and then bring Mateta in a week later. Thanks again! Have a great day!
Your decisions have not too much sense from 2,3 weeks. Take a breathe. Captain Salah. Play Gabriel and maybe Hall. Really good advice. Im 1.5K overall and stay humble. You also should.
@FPLJianBatra I'll probably go rogue again. Either it's gamblers fallacy or I genuinely just think the league and individual quality with the players is just too good for Salah to keep hauling. Don't forget, basically all template players hauled which made it difficult to take risk... They either got a CS or a return. Crazy week...
I agreed with your decision to go Palmer captain last week based on the analysis & went there too, but this time it seems a bit too much for me to go against Salah I also have raya/gabriel & Joao Pedro dilemma. Could I play munoz, hall and Robinson & bench Gabriel?
Team depleted this week: Out: Rogers, Timber, Cunha, Bowen Bench: Greaves, Myko 1FT, 2M ITB Considering: • Cunha → Wood/Mateta (already have Sarr) • Bowen → Gordon Worth a -4? Wood or Mateta? Thoughts?
See you on Solving Your Problems.
Bro, I was captaining palmer too, and I thought I was gonna be the only one. I wanna be ranked 1 not have a comfy 100k like other creators want. This made me very happy when you said that and shows your mindset in FPL is so similar to mine as we both have picks like hall too. 😂😂
Would you bench hall or mykolenko
Looking forward to it! Hopefully can help me of which one to bench out of Munoz, Hall and Enzo

Thank you once again.
Jian
Appreciate it my man, very kind of you to say.
Thank you.
The best of luck to you this Gameweek.
the downside seems too high compared to the upside on this one
I see your perspective, very subjective set of decisions.
This is why I love your content. Not afraid to be different. Breath of fresh air to the typical FPL YT echo chamber
Thank you very much.
I appreciate you my friend.
Wow, just wow. Good luck mate
Thank you mate
Salah is playing at balon d’or level. Feels like his farewell tour. His record against Utd is ridiculous over recent seasons. Isak is a better captain option than Palmer as the Spurs defence is depleted
Sels supremacy continuing most likely cause he’ll likely ourscore Sanchez this week again
This might be your craziest video yet
Went with you last week on palmer captain but I can't bring myself to do it again this week. I wish you good luck
Appreciate it man, you too.
I love your analysis of your high risk team this week, good luck, your positive attitude is so refreshing in FPL
Credit to you for taking on Salah again. I’ve been doing it occasionally so far, and it has yet to pay off. I admire your courage. It can either be a huge coup or another 20-30 point swing in favour of the masses. Who knows, maybe even a stalemate? Good luck with it, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Can only afford one of either Amad to Gordon or Saliba to Trent. I’m hesitant on the latter because it feels like a luxury move but also wondering if no LIV defense is asking for trouble. Thank you for your amazing content. Wouldn’t be where I am without you!
A quick one Jian. Start mazraoui against Liverpool at anfield, or take a -4 to bring wood in for cunha ? Thank you
Should I buy Gordon for Enzo or just play Enzo or Munoz and roll?
lol good luck mate… you’ll either look like a fool or genius with this one
do we think Jackson comes good soon?
lad's praying for a snowstorm in Liverpool on Sunday, only reason to justify going against the Egyptian King.
Love the content as always. Big differential on the captain decision, as a Man United fan I will be putting the armband on Salah, unfortunately cant see anything other than a 3/4-0 Liverpool. Ugarte, Bruno and Mainoo all played vs Bournemouth...
Good luck this week.
Brave of you Jian to going against Salah this week..but what I like is your decision making process and the conviction that you have to follow through 👍🏽All the best! May I seek your views on Enzo as an FPL asset please - would you start him against Palace? Or do you view him as more of an 8th attacker for the bench. Thank you.
Hi, I have two FTs: would you do bruno to Gordon, Enzo to Sarr/Eze or Pedro to Wood? Conscious Bruno/Pedro have good fixtures next week
I'd love to hear your thoughts on who you believe to be the best Liverpool triple up. I'm currently stuck on whether i want Trent, Diaz or Gakpo to join my double of Salah and Alisson. Great video as always though bro, keep it up
Best midfielder to buy from 6 to 6.6m this week?
Alright who do you think i should play Joao Pedro or Lewis hall. I got raya and Gabriel. And my bench is rogers and greaves
Amad out, Foden or Gordon in?
Great stuff mate, as usual, really enjoying it!
Your opinion about Semenyo in this GW and the Fulham's defense recently, as I am not sure if it is too risky to play Andersen alongside Castagne (owning both)?
What do you think about haaland captain
I have Watkins. Don't have isak yet. Would you buy Isak for Jackson by downgrade timber, i have Gabriel
What do you think about isak captain
I shall discuss it in Solving Your Problems
Thoughts on Gvardiol to Mykolenko and Rogers to Gordon next week (GW21).
After seeing Citys performance vs Leicester I dont think they keep a CS against Brentford or Ipswich. Thats the reason I wanna get rid of him early to chase the upside with Gordon.
Assess next week, I understand your thinking.
@ For sure! We will see what unfolds.
Our teams are looking pretty similar now with some differences - I got Jesus(for Jackson), Semenyo and Raya
I think Liverpool have a way higher ceiling. I am not that convinced about Palace defence, I don't see many cs. But I don't think they are very leaky either, I expect them only to concede 1-2 a game. I honestly think United are so bad that they will realistically concede 4 or 5 away at Liverpool. Include Chelsea's form and Liverpools form in that, and Salah is the clear favorite.

I appreciate what you’re trying to say, and your aim to help. However, I’ve just got to do it!
How are you benching Gabriel bro 🤨
Good luck with the Palmer captaincy, this gameweek!
Thank you very much Christopher.
Good luck to you too.
Keep up the good work man- we see the progress,
Could you talk about ‘Wood vs Wissa’ in the ‘Solving Your Problems’ video? For me, it’s really tough.

Thank you Rajaan, appreciate it man.
I’ll talk about them.
Yes with relation to corner quality.
your graphics does make watching ur video nice
also, is jacob murphy a buy? 7 g/a in 5 games, seems nailed on the rw now. good underlying numbers too
Thank you.
Prefer Rogers for a similar price, due to xMins (early substitutions & Harvey Barnes)
Also the question for last video, start JP or Bruno this week?
Tough, JP.
More food for thought, currently have a benching headache in defence with Gabriel, Aina, Hall and Munoz (and you could also argue van den Berg)… can’t decide on how to approach it
Munoz for me
@@FPLJianBatragood idea, that’s probably the best way to maximise upside as I have Palmer, but no Brighton, Wolves or Spurs players
What do u think of Gabriel to TAA?
Don’t mind it too much, but there has other be strong conviction behind it.
Thoughts on Gakpo as a Cunha replacement?
Discuss him in yesterday’s video
Personally im not going Salah(C) but im going Isak(C) i see a basketball game for a 90 min talismanic in form team and player. I could see 2+ goals
Indeed, your Team Selection is quite interesting😆..! But great insights still overall and a fire video!
I'm moving Timber --> Trent as a standalone move. But I'm unsure yet who to get for a Cunha replacement, or if waiting and holding the transfer is better.

Mateta for me.

Thanks again! Have a great day!
Palmer again? This is some real Jedi mind trick stuff....i'm not sure how strong the force is with you JB but i'm watching with bated breath😮
I shall see you on the other side Jack, may the force be with all of us.
@@FPLJianBatra I'm pulling for you ...Gd luck m8
Bench one: Munoz, Collins or Hall ?
Munoz
Foden captain?
Cash over joao pedro as he might play as midfielder?
Wouldn’t captain Foden if you think KDB starts, otherwise it’s fine.
Cash over JP is absolutely fine if you think he starts.
What is your opinion on Kudus vs City?
Wouldn’t be surprised if he hurts them
If you want to maximise upside captain foden?
Maximise upside, but with sound reasoning to back it up.
Can’t do that with Foden.
Good to see im not the only one benching gabriel this week! Wacth us rise with a green arrow this week 💪
If I did a differential captain it'd be Isak.
But palmer captaincy is tripping tbh
Last GW it made sense. This GW seems unwise
Your decisions have not too much sense from 2,3 weeks. Take a breathe. Captain Salah. Play Gabriel and maybe Hall. Really good advice. Im 1.5K overall and stay humble. You also should.
Bench Hall (TOT) or Konsa (LEI). I have kulu in my midfield btw
Hall
Bro I went rogue last GW and went from 25k to 90k... And I even tried managing it but I got 50 points and clapped
I appreciate you telling me that to try and help. But, if I think it’s the right thing to do, I can’t not do it, regardless of last week!
@FPLJianBatra I'll probably go rogue again. Either it's gamblers fallacy or I genuinely just think the league and individual quality with the players is just too good for Salah to keep hauling. Don't forget, basically all template players hauled which made it difficult to take risk... They either got a CS or a return. Crazy week...
I agreed with your decision to go Palmer captain last week based on the analysis & went there too, but this time it seems a bit too much for me to go against Salah
I also have raya/gabriel & Joao Pedro dilemma. Could I play munoz, hall and Robinson & bench Gabriel?
You could, but it’s not as high upside in your case.
Tough decision, would probably just bench Munoz..
Great content but you are speaking way to fast🤣
Thank you mate (not sarcastically)
Yoane wissa and mbeumo thought jian?
Mbeumo is discussed in my last video, Wissa in Solving Your Problems shortly.
Sels supremacy
Chalaba for Palace
thoughts on watkins as a captain against salah?
❌
@ILLGamingg its leicester thoogh and i think duran is still suspended
@ United probably a better fixture at this point. Salah is on fire he could’ve had 5 against West Ham. Playing with fire
@ILLGamingg yeah fair..its a risk..but my rank is behind..i am in the millions...
I wouldn’t
Gabriel benched..erm ok
Team depleted this week:
Out: Rogers, Timber, Cunha, Bowen
Bench: Greaves, Myko
1FT, 2M ITB
Considering:
• Cunha → Wood/Mateta (already have Sarr)
• Bowen → Gordon
Worth a -4? Wood or Mateta? Thoughts?
Get Gordon for Bowen.
If you are confident in Mateta scoring, buy him. Otherwise play Greaves.
First!
