Top work Jian. Your contrarian style is a rarity in the FPL space, making it even more valuable. I held off on Saka + Gabrial (started both) > Salah + Dunk after your appearance on the Green Arrow. Honestly, I thought you took it too far not getting Salah, but here we are. Hats off
Thank you very much! I’ve actually toned down the contrarian (overly risk) style this year. I made a conscious effort before the season to play just much better FPL. I appreciate the recognition, if Gameweek 5 goes well, our teams could do truly brilliant things.
Man I remember vividly how i gasped out loud when you said you were excited for the swing with a possible liverpool blank through Sels. I thought “man surely he has gone mad there is no way liverpool loose to fkn Nottingham”. I guess some congratulations are in order haha. Everyday you seem to prove you have incredible analysis capabilities and you are probably the best FPL content creator out there. Keep up the good work mate, excited for every new video of yours
What a week! I went early on Isak > DCL last night expecting Isak to drop 0.1 (which happened). Never ideal going early but likely worth it. Although luckily if you didn’t then ESR price rise in next few days will allow the 0.1 to him to Salah - in which case - PHEW!! Haha
Top class content once again. Absolutely loving it. And you got a great outcome too. I am on a no Haaland team and have accepted I got it wrong. Doing ok and just outside top million but have a big decision. I have 4FTs and had planned to switch to Haaland, no Salah in GW6 or 7. But can use the flexibility now to swap out Palmer, Isak and Gvardiol for Rogers, Haaland and Forest def. That would limit the damage for now, then shift off Salah around GW6 or 7. Or stick to the plan and wait a week or two. Such a dilemma 😂 luckily have a few days to think about it. Isak injury might decide it for me, as other replacements don't appeal
Thank you very, very much Richard. I wouldn’t be buying Haaland this week. Salah’s actually going to be a decent differential come GW6, so considering having a team with all of them (Salah, Saka & Haaland)
@@FPLJianBatrathanks so much for reading my comment. I will wait to GW6 now I think. Liverpool attack looked better v AC Milan. Looking forward to your next video
Hi Jian, off to good start at 1k looking to extend using wildcard when do you think is next fixture swings? Already have two Arsenal, Haaland, Salah, Eze, Mbuemo, and Trent. Plan to get Harvetz for Isak in GW6. Also who do you think is a good Hall replacement? Cheers Nilz
“Hi Jian, off to good start at 1k…” A good start does not equal 1k, that is a world class start my friend🤣 Congratulations! Your team sounds brilliant. I like Ola Aina if you have no cash. Porro is cool, Gvardiol from GW7 I also think I like a lot.
Thank you Jian. Appreciate your thoughts. Bad week 48pts, played Porro and triple up on Liverpool failed. WC6 incoming. Lost 220K in rank and down to 394K. Have Wood and may keep? Thought about Sels but went Handerson!
Top stuff mate. I'm looking to get rid of 2 of Muniz, Jota, and Isak with only 1 free transfer but am open to a -4 hit. Any advice as to which two to sell?
Thank you mate. I would probably get rid of Muniz for DCL this week. Then get rid of Jota & Isak next for Havertz & whoever. (Something to monitor however).
I have a similar setup to yours with 3x Arsenal and no Mo. 71 points and mulling over getting Salah in after for -4 or hiding in the woods the next weekend?
There seems to be 2 completely different camps of teams this week and scores this week. There were the people who downgraded Isak to Joao Pedro to which Joao Pedro wasn't even in the squad and these people also moved Saka to Salah which also didn't pay off that well and these people also had a double or triple up on Liverpool assets and may have had Watkins or another striker and got their captaincy wrong this week and got poor scores with a strong red arrow. Or there were the people who did really well and had the exact opposite players and had faith in the Arsenal assets over the Liverpool assets even against Spurs away and these people may have also captained Haaland aswell and altogether they had a super good gameweek with a green arrow. This could play out differently next week however with Arsenal now facing City in GW5 and Liverpool going up against Bournemouth it could be the complete reverse every gameweek like this and a flip flop between teams with the Arsenal assets doing well 1 week then not so well the next then vice versa with the teams with all the Liverpool players we will just have to wait and see.
It could, I think the best strategy is to essentially time certain windows. For example, I actually think having both Liverpool and Arsenal assets could be advantageous from GW5/6.
Considering isak and bruno to vardy and salah. Would have 0 itb after so will have to make the move early, don’t love vardy but I really want salah so idk
Spurs offered not much to give Arsenal any problems and were pretty toothless in attack, Haaland is a different beast physically and ability wise to Solanki. Its a bit like comparing a Rolls Royce with a Skoda (albeit Skoda have improved a bit like Solanki !). Man C are also a different beast from a creative point of view. It will be an intriguing battle but I suspect Haaland will get at least one goal. Calvert Lewin, a set and forget for ages, with his injury record, are you serious. Sounds like a narrative to justify a transfer if never there was one !
DCL seems fitter this year. There’s so much upside to be had, for a pretty small risk. Him getting injured his statistically far less likely than him staying fit. Seeing how well Saliba & Gabriel handled Solanke, seeing how well Arsenal limited Spurs, and with Rice coming back, makes it justifiable for me to just *think* that Arsenal could do a job there. Or at least enough to limit Haaland to less than a haul. That’s all!
@@FPLJianBatra Re DCL, possibly and ironically I may have to bring him in for Wissa as have no funds to trade up and the options are limited so yes within that price point, it makes sense, but I still have little confidence he will last much more than a couple of gameweeks.
@@FPLJianBatra FINALLY! A content creator whose not hating on my boy Gvardiol😂. I also think the same that he'll smash it. I'm Currently ranked in the top 3k. My team: Verbruggen, Trent, Gabriel, Gvardiol, Salah(C), Jota, Minteh, ESR, Rogers, Haaland, Havertz, with Flekken, Harwood-Bellis, Cannon, and Barco on the bench. I have 0.4m in the bank and 2FT. I want to bring in DCL, the entry point seems great with LEI (A), to do so I need 1m which i could get by selling Minteh to a 4.5m mid to upgrade Cannon straight to DCL. What are your thoughts and any suggestions ?? Also, for Gameweek 5, who would you start between Gabriel and Harwood-Bellis ?
6 millionth in the world 🔥No-Haaland has burnt me with the more expensive alternative assets failing whilst enablers haul. Mission is top 100k. As pep said, no more Pre-season, season starts now.
@@ReviveMe-z7v Duran's minutes are still a big doubt, he averaged around 25 minutes for the first four games. He does look extremely dangerous whenever he comes on though

Thank you very much my man Miguel. I do genuinely really appreciate that.
Onto the next.

Chasing price rises?
More avoiding price drops.
That is intelligent!
I’m just expecting ESR to rise, so I should have the funds to do it.
Great content my friend, refreshingly different with some fantastic insight.
Thank you very much!
I hope to see you in the comments section in the future my friend.
Also - amazing call backing a potential Forest CS. Never any guarantees and even in Pool did score, still great process. Huge swing!
Thank you very much my friend.

How does Wissa's injury affect Mbuemo as an option
This is a very good question, I’ll address this in a video this week.

The Gabriel pick was so helpful, thanks!
My pleasure, appreciate the comment!
Can't believe people pick saliba over him every year
Great analysis
Thank you very much my friend.
Thank you Jian. Appreciate your thoughts. Bad week 48pts, played Porro and triple up on Liverpool failed. WC6 incoming. Lost 220K in rank and down to 394K. Have Wood and may keep? Thought about Sels but went Handerson!
Still a very solid start Peter!
Definitely keep Wood I would say.
Thank you Jian. The Wissa news strengthens my keeping of Wood on WC6
Great week to have a great week 🙌 I sent you a DM about the graphics
Thank you, and I shall check it out soon brother!
Super stuff bro!!
Thank you brother!
You put me on sels and he’s been great since gw1 preciate bro
Appreciate the comment. It is my pleasure!
thoughts on selling foden and isak for salah and duran/wood? Great video as always mate
Thank you mate!
Sounds good, but go Wood for xMins currently! (Unless you think Duran can’t be benched anymore)
In somewhat of a similar situation to regarding Salah.
Which do you think is better to transfer out for him, Palmer or Saka?
Palmer

After a great start it's back down to earth with a bang. This feels more like FPL LOL. However on your advice i did stick with Saka over Salah 👍
I’m glad it helped, and I’m sure you will come back soon!
Awesome Jian! I'm 0.1 off the Isak and ESR to DCL and Salah move 😢 Unless ESR has a price increase soon 😮
ESL almost certain to rise next few days bro 👍🏻 already 5.6 so will give you the 0.1 you need 🤗
@@gids10fingers crossed and let's hope people stay quiet on DCL transfers in and Isak transfers out!!😂
Yeah so am I man, ESR should rise and we will be just fine.
Is it worth selling palmer for a hit to get salah
If you are going to captain him, and you aren’t confident in Palmer + whoever else you would captain, then yes.
Otherwise no.
Considering isak and bruno to vardy and salah. Would have 0 itb after so will have to make the move early, don’t love vardy but I really want salah so idk
I like it a lot.
Vardy looks good.
Nice one!
Thank you Vijay!
Would you sell Jota or Gibbs white first
Jota, even though I think he could do well against Bournemouth FYI.
