Yep, completely true. If you bench points, ultimately it's a positive, team value will go up, means you have a solid bench so less transfers needed. Only a problem if you keep getting it wrong repeatedly on rotation
My gut tells me that one of L.Diaz or Jota should start against LEI(h), then in gw19 it's probably Jota if he's benched in LEI(h). I have the TC remaining and am 70% likely to use it on Salah in gw18. LIV should have 3.7xG at home to Leicester I reckon, Wolves just kept a cleansheet against them which is being overlooked, Salah's floor is probably 6pt in that match. BOU(a) is tough and in gw24 I'll be happy playing Salah(c).
Thanks for the video. Just found your channel. Subscribed. I will go Odegaard over Bruno. Not sure about Odegaard pens, Havertz might as well steal them, but over 3-5 GWs ARS are facing terrible defences. Brighton is terrible. Maybe AVL is not that bad but I wouldn't trust them against ARS. United on the other hand best case scenario has 3 good fixtures of 5 (BRI, WOL, SOU) but with SOU and WOL having new managers, you can't tell how terrible they will play. If Saka comes back I wouldn't mind taking a hit because I really think Odegaard will outscore Bruno. We've seen Odegaard can be a monster. Good luck!
Congrats on the great week mate. WCing in GW19 so who’s your favourite Saka replacement for a one week punt? On 3FTs saved as well so can get Jesus (but I like rolling more transfers into the WC)
Hey Pras. This is entirely dependent on Cunha being banned but if confirmed, what do you think of Cunha to Wood (for a hit as the other transfer will be Saka to Bruno) and then JP to Mateta in 19. I understand you like JP for the price but my team value is similar to yours so money is unlikely to be an issue (still 1.2 ITB after those transfers).
Thanks Pras for your rxcellent videos as usual. If you have Bruno and Rogers already, what is your thoughts on Saka replacement ? Sarr for turning fixtures or boring Mbeumo back
Wood is better than Jackson for the next three fixtures in particular assuming N.Jackson is benched one of them (IPS seems most likely). L.Diaz because LEI(h) for Liverpool screams 3 goals minimum. Whoever plays near Salah should be fantastic (there is two spots, LW and ST, and Diaz can start in either of them).
@ Fair, I think I prefer Bruno over Diaz. I dont wanna use transfers because a player isnt nailed like Pras said, transfers will be of huge value in the coming weeks. And about Jackson thats true, if he is benched for a game Wood is the better asset for the next three so I think im going Wood and Fernandes!
@@Zubbinho1 Man Utd are scoring less goals than Liverpool in each gameweek coming up, do you REALLY see L.Diaz missing two of the next 3 PL matches? I think it's very likely he starts LEI(h) and MUN(h), having a 2nd LIV attacker when they should score 8 goals minimum in the next three. Saka's selling price does not affect me tonight, so I'm not making the move to take Saka out tonight. If Jesus for whatever reason is not likely to start, Trossard becomes a wonderful differential. B.Fernandes is the most boring pick as a Saka replacement with a better entry point in gw21. I have Amad who's putting up similar expected data and delivering more under Amorim. The models on FPL Review have xMIN for L.Diaz at 52 with Jota on 34. LMAO it's crazy to me because one of Jota or Diaz is highly probable to start each game.
@@Zubbinho1 I have TC active on Salah. EVE(a) and BOU(a) are tougher despite having 4 appearance pts and more bonus opportunities. LEI(h) is a great match, the leading goal scorer should add to the tally.
@@MDot97 Fair point, id rather be safe than sorry in this period. Look what happend in WC6, everyone on Diaz and it backfired! Im not gonna fall for the trap but he could do very well, no doubt!
Great video as always. Got Strand Larsen, Wissa, Isak as my 3 forwards. Sell Strand Larsen+ Saka for Bruno+Wood for a -4? (Both are dropping in price tonight)
Cheers Pras. Currently with 2 FTs, and 1.0 ITB. Planning on doing Saka to Bruno and Mykolenko to TAA. I know I'll need EVE later for the double but seems still far and seems like the only option this GW. My other defenders are Gabriel, Saliba and Robinson. Views?
Appreciate the video Pras. Would you consider bringing in Haaland gw19? Currently ranked 812th 😊 I thought it would be an aggressive move at that rank. Enjoy your Christmas
Great video once again, i dont have isak i would of got last week if Cunha had got banned. Thinking to swap for Cunha or woood. Also thinking Diaz for saka
The only Head CEO who's gonna punish Cunha this close to Xmas will be Father Christmas. That means no presents for him under the tree, but potential presents for all his owners on Boxing Day
Yep spot on bruno is the one and cunha is not a bad hold for boxing day doubt he gets banned because it took 3 weeks for gibbs-white, bentancur, kudus. Only slight problem is he might drop because ppl will sell.
Hey:) hope you’re doing Great! Which one would you do (all for a -4 btw)? 1. Saka & Jimenez to Bruno and isak (0.4 in the bank so I could only move to Munoz by selling mykolenko and couldn’t do wood in the future) 2. Saka & Jimenez to Sarr & isak with a lot of money in the bank. 3. Saka & jimenz to Gordon & isak (could only get one of Munoz and wood in the future) ( and should I transfer out Joao Pedro instead of Jimenez?) Thanks:)
Even though Pras recommended against going Haaland, I'll be taking out Saka to Sarr and going Cunha to Haaland till GW22 or so with a view to potentially captain Haaland, depending on how City look vs. Leicester and West Ham. Would have Isak, Joao Pedro, Haaland, Salah, Palmer, Sarr, Rogers, Amad mid with double Arsenal defence + Robinson. Just can't get Trent
Guys what are your thoughts on gvardiol kinda want to keep him cause he is a bit differential now but I could get Gabriel and have the boring template double arsenal defense and Trent.I was thinking about keeping gvardiol just scared of the arsenal corners
Bruno is a great fish and chips pick especially at your high rank. Think he’ll get a high goal share and will tick along. What signs do you see that man u are improving though? Not trying to be a hater I just want to understand your thought process for evaluating them. Cheers and happy holidays
@@Pras_fpl makes sense! I just looked up the xG of their games and see there is improvement. I ended up going Jota so that I had money for Trent upgrade. Eyeing up amad with my last free transfer. Appreciate the reply, happy holidays
I could use some help with my team, a few players I don't want Verbruggen fodder Robinson Hall Gvardiol Greaves Dunk Salah Palmer Diogo J Mbeumo Rogers Jackson Isak Wissa O ft 2.2 itb Where should my priorities be? Hoping for a reply from you pras..please
I only have $0.5 in the bank ; already did GW 18 transfer and have no transfers left. I have Welbeck and Greaves both of them not playing. All my other players are in form as of now. In GW 19: Would you move replace Welbeck by Joao Pedro or Evanilson? Or free funds by selling a midfielder in order to later move Welbeck to a better forward; also in that way I give time for him to potentially be back .
111k to 68k, Robinson's 8pt to 6pt is a little annoying after the match ended but he's a good pick. SOU are defending well against better sides now, AVL 1-0 loss, FUL 0-0 surprisng, 5 goals against LIV in two matches (EFL Cup and PL with a penalty and fluke gift being two of them), sure 5 vs CHE and TOT which is very bad, but it's not as terrible as what's generally perceived.
I agree with just getting Bruno and being done with it. For 2FT I went Cunha to Isak and Saka to Bruno. Allows me to have Raya, TAA, Gabriel, Munoz, Robinson, Salah, Palmer, Jackson, Isak.
I’m in a bit of a dilemma where I have Amad but I’m thinking to go Bruno and Isak, I just don’t know if I can have double up on Man Utd or should I just view Bruno individually being a good pick. Not sure really🤔
Great one as usual Pras! Which one from below will you do with 1 FT? 1. Greaves to Munoz and play him over Castagne 2. Saka to Gordon / Sarr / Sboslai / Son / Odegard 3. St Larson to Wood / Mateta 4. Saka& St larson to Odegard/Gordon & Jackson for -4
Idk from where Pras is so optimistic about United. Players still haven't quite gotten accustomed to the new system, and many are not playing in their best positions.
Why do I prefer sarr over brunj Bruno worser fixtures Can't get Trent United aren't great Bruno not the greatest goalscorer Sarr optimal fixtures Let's me get Trent Sarr great goal scorer
Fernandes is a great pick in gw18 but I am very unsure about Man Utd scoring more than 2 goals against WOL(a) when ARS and LIV are home against promoted sides. Bruno has given us a blank with good data and penalties many times before. Man Utd were terrible defensively, I agree that Cunha is a hold for sure. I see Liverpool scoring 9 goals minimum against LEI(h), WHU(a), MUN(h), L.Diaz is a better entry point. He scored two nice goals today and is a big game player in general, definitely see him starting in gw20 v Man Utd, who he scored against twice in August.

And thanks for the subscribe! ❤
29 😂lol too ahead
great content!! one of the best out there
what are your views on Raul hold or sell
Feels like a more urgent sell than Pedro maybe. But overall if other issues you can bench and reassess.
Congrats on the great week mate. WCing in GW19 so who’s your favourite Saka replacement for a one week punt? On 3FTs saved as well so can get Jesus (but I like rolling more transfers into the WC)
Thanks man. Martinelli or a Liverpool mid like Diaz perhaps. Jota feels too punty.
@@Pras_fplcheers! Agreed on Jota like you say in the video it’s hard to know if he starts or not
Have Rogers/enzo/salah/palmer
Do I still need to make a transfer for Saka? I might as well bench. What r ur thoughts?

Good morning, afternoon and evening!
Wood and Bruno or Jackson and Diaz/Jota? What combination do you prefer?
Wood is better than Jackson for the next three fixtures in particular assuming N.Jackson is benched one of them (IPS seems most likely).
L.Diaz because LEI(h) for Liverpool screams 3 goals minimum. Whoever plays near Salah should be fantastic (there is two spots, LW and ST, and Diaz can start in either of them).

My first choice is Bruno, but I want Trent in and I can only do it with a 7.9M mid or below. Trying to work out if the -4 involving Trent is worth it.
Is it not a risk that Bruno is gonna end up playing in the pivot
great analysis! new sub, I found your channel via the podcast.
❤
Appreciate the video Pras. Would you consider bringing in Haaland gw19? Currently ranked 812th 😊 I thought it would be an aggressive move at that rank. Enjoy your Christmas
Very viable for sure. But it’s the use of 2-3 transfers to bring him in and 2-3 to take him out is the worry for me.
Great video once again, i dont have isak i would of got last week if Cunha had got banned. Thinking to swap for Cunha or woood. Also thinking Diaz for saka
Wood can stay. Take Cunha out if/when van gets announced.
has the time come when it is necessary to gamble. Are the sure picks of the last 17 GWs disappearing
Easiest transfer of the season for those without palmer to just go saka -> palmer surely ?
100%
Yep, that's me. Did it before the Saka price drop.
What do you think of Yoro as a cheap way into the United defense?
Not nailed unfortunately
Love your analysis Pras!
hey pras' love from india ,subscribed and love your analysis. I have milenkovic and kerkez, who should I sell to buy Munoz?

No Haaland is the best differential in the game next 4 games. Good luck!
Guys what are your thoughts on gvardiol kinda want to keep him cause he is a bit differential now but I could get Gabriel and have the boring template double arsenal defense and Trent.I was thinking about keeping gvardiol just scared of the arsenal corners
Gvardiol has great fixtures. If you want to differentiate, keep him.
Very precise and helpful info.
Tough decision to make:
1. TTA & Sarr
2. Bruno & Munoz
TAA + Sarr mainly cos Liv likely have a double coming up soon as well. Bruno only really needed from 21 onwards.
@@Pras_fpl thanks Pras cheers! 🍻
Is odegaard worth it as saka replacement looking at his XG and underlying stats
Yeah, I talked about him too
Is Gabriel vs IPS (H) worth a -4 hit? Defence is Trent, Hall, Robinson, de ligt. I would sell de ligt for Gabriel. Yes or no? -4
Normally I say no to hits but Gabriel is literally the best defender in the game imo.
Good video. I subscribed!
Bruno is a great fish and chips pick especially at your high rank. Think he’ll get a high goal share and will tick along.

Is it worth gettin Bruno for Saka for -4 ?
Saka to Mbuemo is sth I would consider too. He seems fixture proof and as talismanic as Bruno
I can actually do Saka, Enzo -> Bruno; Mbeumo. But think Bruno comes in first.
@ re Enzo -> Mbuemo, would you want to use the funds to upgrade JP to someone more consistent like Wood instead?
@@darrylho5290no I like Jp 😅

Would you still go with Bruno if you have amad? ❤the vids
What about Eze, for Saka?
Is he even fit?
@Pras_fpl Thanks Man 💖, Got Sarr for Saka before the price drop.
Start Enzo or Jimenez this week?
Enzo
Hey Pras, great video!
Have you considered waiting this Game week for news or information and just playing Rogers?
If 2 GWs were so close to each other and Rogers had a better fixture then maybe. But no, I think I will move.

@ if you decided to go with both, you may be able to bench Amad in tough away games anyway so I wouldn’t worry about the double up too much.
@@SultanSaeed_99 very true

I wish I'd watched this before punting on jota for a one game haul
Start semenyo vs CRY (H) or enzo vs FUL (H). I have palmer and Jackson FYI
Murphy better asset that gordon. Also he’s only on some set pieces. Finishing isn’t good enough + big chances falling to murphy
what about gordon as saka replacement
I was soo convinced about odegaard and wish i didnt see your video 🤣
How about Luis Diaz for Saka
Just don’t know if he starts both of next 2
@@Pras_fpl fair point, but I think he plays LEI(h) after today's performance and he very often plays in big games so MUN(h) seems likely.

Surprised no mention of considering bringing in Jesus for Pedro if moving on from Saka ? Arsenal have good attacking fixtures until 27
Saka to Diaz?
I am so tempted to go Saka to Martinelli!
Bruno seems low ceiling but there aren't anyone good enough around that price. It's frustrating 😤
Bruno isn’t gonna keep playing in the 10 the longer the season goes
Saka to bruno pedro to jesus?
Won't Gabriel Jesus have pens?

Bruno actually had a decent game today FPL wise, even tough he didnt return anything. I like his shots and passing, and on free kicks and pens.
Think so too yeah. Had he returned - he would be the automatic choice for all
