Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
That's Sun not FPL, and I don't know the price difference as I don't have anything to do with the Fascist\Racist paper, but some of the player\managers are very precious about details etc.....
Yep to the price difference though, but I'd prefer Welbeck to be starting with them, as is cheaper in FPL and TFF...

Ohh I realised. And deleted my comment.
Welbeck in place of Mkhi should be decent. Iwobi is quite good too. Was excellent yesterday in his cameo

There are good and bad\aggressive people tgere. I was just warning.... as there can be good info etc.
Iwobi has looked a different player under Dick, but Rowe-Smith is the one I'm interested in seeing in the Prem. He looked exceptionally talented pre-season. I cnt be assed watching EL Group matches.

Smith Rowe. Emile. Very talented kid. But this season might be a bit too early for him. Not for the other double barrel at ARS, Maitland Niles though. He can very soon be a fixture in the team.

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
After GW11 || Sub-season 3 (GW9-13) || Score 707 || Surplus - 14
An advantage of the non-compete style of playing FPL is that there is only a specific bit of information that I need. I am a season and a quarter into the thing, and I think I am in a position where there are some information points that I just seem to have no need for anymore.
I have not turned into the Buddha or something, I have not been able to completely ignore the end-of-week rank. This was supposed to be the poorer-than-normal week - three of the top-5 midpriced mids had good weeks, (two is normal, one is few, five happened only once). What's worse, there were zero clean sheets.
Thankfully, there were enough of the easy points to shore me up.
I am 14 points above my par score for the season.
Still getting hit by the Goalkeeper rotation. But I am happy with the rotation pair (Patricio / Fabianski), and am hopeful that it will work out in the end. Fun fact - my GK rotation score for this season is lower than that of EVERY GK that has played 11 games. 31 points less than Ederson (already). 17 points less than Patricio. 11 points less than Fabianski. I seem to have found the secret sauce of how to select the worse of two goalkeepers. Do the reverse of mine, and you have found out the secret code to good rotation.
Defender slots are doing very well.
Midfielders slots are doing well enough.
Forward slots are doing poorly, but not VERY poorly.
Captains are doing brilliantly.

This is what I found, set and forget £8.5m combo is the best.

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
Hmm. Well, I would like to stick with the 4.5m rotation for a while longer. And weak as the argument sounds, I do not know what I would do with the 0.5 m anyway.
Well, really, maybe. But to go from Doherty (who I am still quite happy with), right up to Trippier is a long way to travel.

Fair enough, I'm sure you will find a transfer soon where you are 0.2 or 0.3 short..... but it's a move you only make when you have nothing else to do or a wildcard.

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
True that.
At the moment, I am considering taking a hit to get in Arnautovic and Diangana; for Richarlison and Kamara.
that will also allow me to play Diangana for Doherty if I want to, though even if I don't, I'd perhaps play Camarasa for Doherty anyway....
We shall see.

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
Hi bb, after the international break Richarlison has three home games in four GWs welcoming Cardiff, Newcastle and Watford. Surely you’re going to keep him for those at least?

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
Hmm, good point. Basically, my structure can only afford one ~7m attacker. And perhaps Arnie over Rich?
Really, I like Rich. I got him into my team because I like him. He has given me nearly 8 ppg and that is crazy. It's just that I have to take a call, and it seems Arnie (who also has decent ones, no?) Is the one I am tilting for....
But it's not decided yet. Maybe just a quiet Kamara to Success move is fine too.
Do tell. Everyone...
I am not decided. But I will make up my mind on this tomorrow. Help will be appreciated

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
Despite the delicious home fixtures, Richarlison has che liv mcy in the next six and then TOT. I've got both Arnie and Richarlison and am holding Richarlison (but planning to bench him a couple of times over that run). If you only can fit one in I would go with Arnie I think. Having said that I would wait for a couple of weeks - partly because I marginally prefer Richarlison's fixtures over the next two. It will also give a bit more time to see if there is really nothing to worry about in terms of Arnie's knee.

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
True and as for the next two fixtures, I agree. I guess though when we arrive in GW14 and we ask ourselves the same question we once more say but Richarlison has NEW and WAT in his next three.Aldershot Rejects wrote:Despite the delicious home fixtures, Richarlison has che liv mcy in the next six and then TOT.

Besides, I don’t think Newcastle away is a delicious fixture for West Ham (GW14). The ideal shipping point when dealing with only one attacking £7.0 player would be GW17 in my view; eyeing up that Richarlison Arnautović move. Which is... very far away FPL speaking...

EDIT: I would btw bank in your shoes.
Two weak reasons are:
1. It's poor utilization if I keep 2M in the bank. If there's 2M in the bank, it means that either this is a Leicester season (it's not. This is the most boring vanilla of FPL seasons); or that I have been playing really poorly, operationally.
2. I have a general mistrust of the 5.5-7.5m attacking players. One is too many!

Largely agree with both of your thought processes.
But the only spanner in the works for me is GW15.
GW15 is Wild Card.
Instant gratification is what I am looking for right now
And from now to GW14, Richarlison only gives me a CAR(h)
Arnautovic gives me two very decent away fixtures and a MCY complacency 7-1 scoreline with an Arnie goal, perhaps.

Hmm. Interesting. Murray is not so good in away games, it seems?
Jimenez interests me. Harking back to the podcast at Double Pivot - all the attacks of WOL funnel through Jimenez. Perhaps that is one of thee reasons for their being a little bit goalshy comparatively to what we expect (which is a good way to explain out Jimenez too). But I am interested.

1 goal away all season. His xG away from home this season is 0.76 and that came from the game he scored in (it was a penalty, I'm not sure what the xG is for a penalty)
Since the start of last season, Brighton scored about 14 goals in 25 away games (although their strikerate has improved somewhat this season).

Re: Baganboy’s 38-week FPL journal
Yes absolutely, for people who like to rotate, it can be a very successful option.
The thing is, I am pursuing a specific number of points from individual slots - adding up to a specific number of points within a certain range of gameweeks. I do not care much about ownership, differentials, or even rank. So Murray + AN other (say 5.5M mid) when rotated) becomes equivalent to an 8M attacker slot. 5.26 ppg. 26 points in every 5 GWs. There will be many who will be comfortable to rotate and get those points. I won't be. In the Operational side of the game***, I am a transferrer rather than a rotator.
AR and I play kind of a similar game actually, to an extent. Its based on transfers rather than rotation.
