Love these weekly reviews, keep them coming! Gameweek planner looks great, makes it so much easier to picture my team in the upcoming weeks and find opportunities to get ahead of the game in the waivers
To be fair I just haven't updated that slide but I'm still not massively keen on him for average-sized leagues as I think he'll sit more games than he starts in the PL
Thanks so much as always! I received this offer: Son & Solanke for Haaland & Sterling. I don't need Sterling as he is my 5th mid and would waive him out anyway. So essentially it is the Spurs duo for Haaland. I don't have any Spurs players atm. What do you think? I am inclined to accept. I think Haaland is great but not such an unbelievable asset in draft due to no captaincy. Otherwise I have Pedro, Hojlund in attack & Trossard, Jota, Mbeumo, Schade (I will give him one more week to see if he starts) in mid in a 10-team league.
@@niallsherin4743 But why exactly? He was the 5th top scorer last year (sure, some injuries, but they can happen again) and 2nd highest in points per game. These are excellent stats, but in the draft version without captaincy, his value is nowhere near as big as in regular FPL. I am certain Solanke&Son comfortably outscore him until the rest of the season if all three play, the only question is whether the waiver mid I would pick can add up to match that with Haaland.
You're absolutely right - but as you say at the end there, it's how much value you can find from an extra rotating midfielder spot that skews it. Personally, I'd back myself to outperform Son + Solanke with Haaland + [streaming mid] over a season. Even in a 10-team league I think there will be interesting/tempting mids in the waivers most weeks.
Grealish falls into the category of players who could really become excellent or terrible assets from MCI! Personally not a huge believer in Grealish as a draft asset these days though Mavididi isn't the greatest replacement..
Great video! Thanks for your tips. Kovacic, CHO, MacAllister, Schade, Doku and Elanga are available in waivers. Who are the best to take for Andrea’s Pereira? Or should I keep him? Thanks
@@DraftFC thanks. I feel Doku is too patchy to be reliable. He is a very frustrating asset to have. Even if he plays a full 90min, he doesn’t deliver. Then all his returns are in just a handful of games!
Hey mate. What are your feelings on Tim Robinson? Is it time to move him on if I can get the likes of Martinez, Milenkovic, Mykolenko or Ait-Nouri instead and try to play the fixtures a bit? Cheers 😊
I dropped rodgers for barnes. Was that a mistake? I have odegaard sitting on the bench. FWs are havertz, cunha and joao pedro. Would you drop any for Duran?
Was looking at picking up Diego Carlos, but supposedly he picked up an injury in the warm up before their cup game, really need points atm as we essentially run two drafts, one in each half of the season and I’m at serious risk of the forfeit (a marathon) would you recommend picking him up still if he’s a doubt or someone else like Lacroix vs Everton or even John stones is available but I’m wary he might not play?
I do think John stones is interesting in the long run especially with Rodri out and him maybe slotting into midfield in possession, but after playing 90 mins vs Watford I’m not sure he starts vs Newcastle on the weekend
Yeah agree about Stones - risky for the weekend now. I haven't seen much about Diego Carlos tbh so if there is a doubt I'd maybe lean Lacroix - especially if there's a marathon on the line!
In 10 team league, would you drop Martinelli or Bailey for Rogers? (other mids: Son, Eze, Mbeumo) In 8 team league, would you drop Morgan Gibbs White for Rogers? (other mids: Saka, Mbeumo, ESR, Barnes) Love your content!
I think for an 8t league MGW to Rogers is a sound move For your 10t league I think that's a closer call to make - I like Bailey and am giving him the benefit of the doubt for now, you heard my thoughts on Martinelli in the video so I'd be tempted to get (the more exciting and in-form) Rogers
Gordon is valuable regardless of his slow start and as soon as Newcastle pick up he'll be back scoring like he was last year. Rogers and Rashford is a tighter call but I'd edge towards Rogers.
Wondering what to do with Morgan Gibbs-White going forward. His ICT data is great, but few returns + Wood taking over pens has taken some of MGWs appeal away from me
Yeah his value has certainly taken a hit and a red card doesn't do much to help matters. I think most will look to drop him this week and I wouldn't argue too much against it. If you're in a league >10 I'd hold but any less and you should probably be bold
Thank you for the video. I highly recommend holding Rogers tho'. Umai definitely loves him and never brings him off the game. He will eventually get better and better for sure.
He will get more minutes but no telling when - there is no point holding him now with the fixture run Brighton have - I'd drop for any of the options you've listed
Yeah forgot he'd only miss the cup game! I would probably take Trossard over Savio (just) only because we have some proven stats to back-up what Trossard can do when he plays
Absolutely love this 40 mins content! Got few questions so hopefully u could share ur insights 1. Would u drop bailey or schade for Brennan Johnson 2. Would u drop Schar or Trippier for Ruben/Stones Cheers!
I'm in a bit of a pickle.. so I have Haaland, Joao pedro and DCL as my front 3 with pedro ruled out and jiminez in the waiver picks is it worth grabing him over pedro or should I just keep him on the bench until he comes back?
Given Brighton’s upcoming tough fixture run, I already own Pedro and heavy rotation do you think it’s worth dropping Minteh for CHO, Szmodics or Dibling and how would you rank the latter? Thanks in advance mate much appreciated 🙏
Yes I think for JP owners there's probably not a huge benefit in having Minteh too given their run - tough to rank those 3 actually, based on what we've seen I'd go CHO, Dibling then Szmodics. I do like Szmodics though he just hasn't quite done it for Ipswich yet
I believe Trossard will miss the cup game and be back in the squad for the weekend.
👍🏼 yep missed that one
Dang, we get 40 minutes of content this week! Bring it on!
Love these weekly reviews, keep them coming! Gameweek planner looks great, makes it so much easier to picture my team in the upcoming weeks and find opportunities to get ahead of the game in the waivers
Glad you're finding it useful - as I said in the video we still have plenty of plans to make it better!
Why is calafiori a drop?
Sure hope he is as i'm holding timber
To be fair I just haven't updated that slide but I'm still not massively keen on him for average-sized leagues as I think he'll sit more games than he starts in the PL
He's not, dropping him ahead of these 3 games would be insane.
Thanks!
Appreciate you! 👊🏼

Schade or Doku I'd consider over Andreas - the rest don't excite me that much
@@DraftFC thanks. I feel Doku is too patchy to be reliable. He is a very frustrating asset to have. Even if he plays a full 90min, he doesn’t deliver. Then all his returns are in just a handful of games!
mateta or joao pedro? i got offered Pedro along with a keeper downgrade haaland and larsan are my other fwds.
It's a close one - not sure I'd swap with a keeper downgrade to be honest
Out of the 3 which two would you keep? Munoz, robinson and gusto
Munoz & Robinson
@@DraftFC Thanks bro
Hey mate.
What are your feelings on Tim Robinson? Is it time to move him on if I can get the likes of Martinez, Milenkovic, Mykolenko or Ait-Nouri instead and try to play the fixtures a bit?
Cheers 😊
Yeah probably the right time to move off him and play the fixtures, always good to be flexible with your defenders
If i become a member and go to the lineups area, is it only configured for the Official FPL platform or would Fantrax work?
No it won't as we don't link into their API
I dropped rodgers for barnes. Was that a mistake? I have odegaard sitting on the bench.
FWs are havertz, cunha and joao pedro. Would you drop any for Duran?
No they're a bit too good to drop for Duran. Don't think you made a mistake getting Barnes over Rogers , both very similar
Was looking at picking up Diego Carlos, but supposedly he picked up an injury in the warm up before their cup game, really need points atm as we essentially run two drafts, one in each half of the season and I’m at serious risk of the forfeit (a marathon) would you recommend picking him up still if he’s a doubt or someone else like Lacroix vs Everton or even John stones is available but I’m wary he might not play?

Love your content!
Also wondering the same for MGW for Rogers!
@@miguelvillarba4144 Rodger’s is far better than mgw

8 man league, which two should I go for Gordon, Rogers or Rashford?
1- Rogers 2- Rashford 3- Gordon
I’d say Gordon 1 Roger’s 2 rashford 3
@@manuelalmeida8944 whaaaattt

👍🏼
Waiver Brenton Diaz for Dibbling, Elanga, J Murphy?
Yeah any
Why would barnes be dropped???
he’s never really been a starter for newcastle i believe
Not my decision! I'd play him every week, just a slightly tongue-in-cheek observation that Howe doesn't seem to see him as a regular first XI player
What is your take on kadioglu?
- Will he get more minuts?
- Would you drop him for Moreno, Deigo Carlos or an Ipswich defender?
10 man league
He will get more minutes but no telling when - there is no point holding him now with the fixture run Brighton have - I'd drop for any of the options you've listed
Trossard should play
Ah didn't realise the ban would go in the EFL cup - you might be right 👍🏼
is it time to drop Gakpo?
Probably yes
Thoughts on Gordon?
He's good, newcastle are just playing terrible, they need to rethink their strategy
Remains a very good draft asset
Savio over Trossard for the foreseeable future? Considering Trossard will only miss the cup game. Cheers Mitch!
Yeah forgot he'd only miss the cup game! I would probably take Trossard over Savio (just) only because we have some proven stats to back-up what Trossard can do when he plays
@@DraftFC 🙏
Please let's have the discord server
Gakpo or Jimenez?
Gakpo for you
Savio or McNeil long term?
Savio
What about shorter term with McNeils very strong fixtures?
I have Mazraoui, Van Hecke and Ankanji defending for GW6. Should Ankanji be dropped?
schade or tyler dibling?
Schade but I like them both!
Rodgers or Trossard ?
Ndiyae or Evanilson?
Anyone plz help !
Martinelli, Trossard or Rodgers ?
Let's do the discord!
Absolutely love this 40 mins content! Got few questions so hopefully u could share ur insights
1. Would u drop bailey or schade for Brennan Johnson
2. Would u drop Schar or Trippier for Ruben/Stones
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed! 1. Yes, 2. Yes - Trippier for Ruben 👍🏼
Savio vs Trossard vs ESR
Got rodri and here are my options : andreas, mavididi hinshelwood, amad, Hudson-odoi, dibling. Andreas is my top target for long term 5th midfielder.
Hudson-odoi
I'm in a bit of a pickle.. so I have Haaland, Joao pedro and DCL as my front 3 with pedro ruled out and jiminez in the waiver picks is it worth grabing him over pedro or should I just keep him on the bench until he comes back?
I'd probably just keep him on the bench for a couple of weeks - Haaland can score enough for both of them anyway!
Van de Ven is a waivers. I have : White , calafiori, schar, fofana and van hecke. Who should i drop? Here is my list. Van hecken then schar?
Yeah drop Van Hecke
Given Brighton’s upcoming tough fixture run, I already own Pedro and heavy rotation do you think it’s worth dropping Minteh for CHO, Szmodics or Dibling and how would you rank the latter? Thanks in advance mate much appreciated 🙏
Yes I think for JP owners there's probably not a huge benefit in having Minteh too given their run - tough to rank those 3 actually, based on what we've seen I'd go CHO, Dibling then Szmodics. I do like Szmodics though he just hasn't quite done it for Ipswich yet
My midfield is Bailey, Garnacho, Gordon, Madueke, and Szoboszlai. Should I replace any of them with ESR or Rogers?
Yeah I'd swap Szob for either of those 2
Are u still high on Gakpo? I could drop him for Raul, Strand Larsen, or Nketiah
No not so high anymore - would move out for any of those guys now
Should I drop Gakpo for Raul, Strand Larsen, or Nketiah? My other forwards are Haaland and Joao Pedro
Yes
I have Szmodics, would you swap him out for either Kovacic, JWP or Iwobi?
No wouldn't rush to swap for those 3
Jao pedro is injured
Trade van hecke and calafiori for
Konate and Guehi?
All 4 of those are low value tbh, but I'd much rather Konate/Guehi side
hold garnacho/rogers or try for odegaard on waivers?
If you can sit Odegaard for a few weeks I'd go for him!
Should I pick up Sancho for Schade?
If you want to - still too early to know what's going on with the Chelsea attackers though
Joao Pedro is out injured.
Yeah the predicted line-ups have already been updated
Sterling and schade are my odd balls out , are you dropping any of them to add savio/JWP/mavididi
They're all in the same ballpark at the moment - drop Sterling for any of those 3 if you want a more nailed playing option
