Hey Rob...gonna be going out of town tomorrow and I doubt I'll be able to watch any free practice. Will try to make the stream but I'll be counting on your Twitter to keep me in the loop! 👊🏻
No worries Mike! I can’t make the next two deadline streams unfortunately due to travel commitments, but will do my best to share updates on Twitter where possible. I need a bounce back weekend in zandvoort!
I did the final fix team in Spa and have to shift out of RBR. For witch team would you go: 1. NOR + RUS + MCL + MER + Hul + Alb + Sar 2. (Take a -10 !) PIA + HAM + MCL + MER + Hul + Alb + Sar 3. (Take a -10 !) PIA + RUS + MCL + MER + TSU + Hul + Sar
@@f1fantasyhub That is certainly true! By avoiding the -10 without much compromise points wise it is probably the best option with regards to points. However, I feel like my 120,7 budget is relatively low considering I am ranked 1245 globally. I might need to build more budget longerterm. That is why I am still entertaining option 2 and maybe option 3, as I expect bigger budget gains there.
Lots of decisions this week. Have the option to run PIA (X2) RUS MAG HUL TSU with MCL + MER 🤔 + No Sauber or Williams + Best C drivers likely to gain in value - No Norris so could lose DOTD points Alternative is to stick with double McLaren, double Haas with Sargent and MCL + MER.
I think I really love what you’ve got currently. Personally think Russell deserved DOTD more than Hamilton in Spa, so definitely think he’s ok with another shot at it in Zandvoort. Russell is also a better qualifier than Hamilton this season 👀 but if NOR + PIA are on fire in FP, the triple McLaren lineup is worth a shot
Dang I have the same current lineup as you and was gonna copy this but I'm .3M away from bringing in Yuki. Feels like a great lineup I might look towards for Monza.
I agree with most of the power rankings, but I don't understand why you have OCO a couple of spots above GAS because although OCO might be a bit faster overall, he is also a more aggressive driver, so a bigger DNF risk. That said, I think OCO is very quick in the rain, so a wet race could make him a priority.
That’s fair. I have Ocon higher as he’s better than Gasly in average fantasy points (5.1 vs 1.7), qualifying position (14.2 vs 15.1 - especially important at Zandvoort), overtakes (4.4 vs 3.6), fewer DNFs (1 vs 3) and higher average finishing race position (13.6 vs 14.2). I think if it’s based on price alone, obviously Gasly is the best option but most metrics favour Ocon
Lewis/Mercedes are on the up and most improved from what I can see on the F1 Fantasy Tracker website. However, Piastri's form is slightly better over the past four races points wise. I agree about the Alpines, they are in some of the top teams compared to mine on the tracker, but I'm not convinced, so I've kept my "HAAS Boys" and brought in Stroll to beef up my "Overtakes Team".
Hamilton is definitely at the top of the pile with Oscar based on the last 3-4 races. Once Lewis hits $25m though, he’s much harder to justify inclusion as an A Tier asset. I think Alpine’s reliability is questionable. I don’t mind one, but it’s coming with slight risk. Thoughts on Tsunoda over stroll? Feel like you’re getting similar production from both, but Yuki enables upgrades elsewhere and offers more potential team value gain
@@f1fantasyhub interesting. Thanks for the reply. Stroll is scoring more than Tsunoda and is now 3rd in valuation changes and 2nd in Overtakes. so I still think he's a good pick. However, I do see your point as well, as Tsunoda is around $0.5m less expensive than Stroll and therefore the money could be invested elsewhere, depending on your team. Definitely got me thinking.
@@delermainsportsagree he’s third in valuation changes, but that was before he hit the $15m B Tier threshold (his value won’t go up as much as Yuki if they score the same). Stroll’s only gone up $0.1m in each of the last two races - just not enough cost cap gain to appeal to me personally. Yuki’s currently at $10.9m vs Stroll’s $15.3m, so that $4.4m delta is definitely enough to upgrade a backmarker to a midfield or even upgrade a second premium driver. Hopefully this helps your decision!
Thanks Pedro 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I think Piastri and Tsunoda have much higher price gain upside and if Oscar looks close to Norris in practice, I think PIA TSU can outscore NOR/ZHO. I expect Zhou to have another anonymous weekend lol
I'm sitting on NOR TSU HUL ALB GAS with MCL and MER. The only way I can get to a 2-B lineup is to go PIA RUS ALB ZHO SAR. Is it worth taking on ZHO AND SAR to get to the 2-B lineup, or would it make sense to stick with NOR and the better C-tier drivers?
I’d say if you’re chasing points, I think the PIA RUS (even with ZHO SAR) lineup outscores the Norris one. Budget gain may be a little lower with both ZHO and SAR, that’s the only thing I’d keep in mind
@@f1fantasyhub what about the price gain standpoint? I know you said HAM will reach A soon and he’s worth to have, but is it worth giving him up for two price gains with RUS and MAG?

I have Piastri Russell Tsunoda Hulkenberg Sargent Merc Mclaren with 0.4m in the bank. What should I do as Sargent wont be in qualifying?

3. (Take a -10 !) PIA + RUS + MCL + MER + TSU + Hul + Sar
I think 1 is a great option without taking a -10 and then you can easily still get to something similar to 2 or 3 the following race in Monza!

@@SimOn-v2tgreat idea. I’m actually around the same budget you have and that’s why I’m prioritizing two of HAM PIA RUS over Norris for the time being!

Thanks for the info, need stuff like this to save my 2nd half of the fantasy szn lol

hi I love your videos! quick question, would you do nor/zho or pia/tsu. I cant do much more because of transfers. will have mcl mer rus alb sar.
Thanks Pedro 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I think Piastri and Tsunoda have much higher price gain upside and if Oscar looks close to Norris in practice, I think PIA TSU can outscore NOR/ZHO. I expect Zhou to have another anonymous weekend lol
For budget, would you rather have Hul-Tsu or Mag-Alb?
Hulk and Tsunoda
I'm sitting on NOR TSU HUL ALB GAS with MCL and MER. The only way I can get to a 2-B lineup is to go PIA RUS ALB ZHO SAR. Is it worth taking on ZHO AND SAR to get to the 2-B lineup, or would it make sense to stick with NOR and the better C-tier drivers?

I think it is worth it!
@@f1fantasyhub Thanks for the tips! I locked in PIA RUS, FP2 looked pretty promising for them both today.
Im at PIA HAM HUL SAR BOT with MCL and MER. Is it worth switching HAM for RUS to then afford the switch from
BOT to MAG?
I think Bottas and K Mag will score similar at a track like this so it’s who you think is better out of Russell and Hamilton 🤷🏻♂️
@@f1fantasyhub what about the price gain standpoint? I know you said HAM will reach A soon and he’s worth to have, but is it worth giving him up for two price gains with RUS and MAG?
