Think we are a better team and I think Moura is the better player so not sure over the long run. Tempted to wait as I held .5 itb. Son is back but I kind of expect Moura and Son to play whilst Ali out . Tough decision. Ideally I want Son but martial could eventually be more a threat in terms of top 10 k ownership.
Agree with all of this. Interest in your Spurs knowledge, Dareel. With Son and Moura on the pitch does Kane become less appealing?

Thinking I might play it safe (because of ownership) and go for Martial this week and then reassess Spurs.

Hoping Zouma has another nightmare and Vardy and Perez can do something against Chelsea

It's a tough one. I would probably say that Kane is the most likely to drop deeper if all 3 are on the pitch at the same time. The main thing I'm intrested in is if Eriksen stays and if so how Lo Celso will fit in. They are pretty similar players. If both play, who drops.

Kane seems to perform better with Son rather than Moura. I would say that Moura needs some good performances though, big chance for him here. I'm half tempted to hold this week. Get more info. If Perez doesn't perform and Wilson I may bring Tammy and Martial in for them 2 and have Moura for Newcastle home
Cheers mate. Appreciate it.

A couple of pieces i’ve read on Spurs and Lo Celso suggest he is far more of a two-way midfielder than Eriksen. Certainly capable of pulling his weight in a midfield three and even possible to play in a two if needed. His 17/18 season was remarkably similar to N’Dombele’s 18/19 in terms of pass completion %, interceptions, tackles and deep progressions.
It was interesting how strong Spurs were in the final 20 minutes against Villa. Last season they offered little after 70 minutes, partly because the squad was stretched and also because they had few decent bench options. Both of those issues shouldn’t exist this season.

Nuts - the website I use to monitor transfers wasn't showing him as likely to change so I was holding off to get the free transfer. That extra 0.1 is gonna hurt as I don't have the extra 0.1 in the bank to cover it :evil:

It's strange as the site I use has normally been pretty accurate in the past :roll:

Oh well - my bad, I should have bit the bullet, at least the now I now to roll it and save the 4 ponts.

Price change sites are bad for mental health. I'm making a conscious decision to avoid them this season.

If I do want to make a transfer, I'll consider it either immediately after the GW gone by or right before the upcoming GW.

I wasn't going to make any transfers after GW1, and to role 2 over. However, after much deliberation, I have decided to do Foster :arrow: Ryan. Mainly due to fixtures.

I wouldn't know Image tbh it's nothing to do with them being accurate or not. The whole exercise of following price sites never allows me to detach from FPL. That's the unhealthy part.

I also feel I often delay a transfer just because the price change is not imminent. Why delay a decision I'll have to make sometime anyway? The extra info and injury risk is there, but if I'm convinced to make a decision based on info I already have, I'll accept the injury risk or avoid that too by making a late transfer.

Like in real life, I'm willing to part with a bit of money for my FPL peace of mind Image

Rolling this week btw. Hoping Moura scores a goal!

Eh - I didn't say that the algorithm was nuts? I was using nuts as a polite term to convey my displeasure that the increase means that I'll have to change my plans. I'll probably go for Kelly now instead of Dunk for my bench warmer.

I don’t have a bank and with the likelihood of at least a 0.1 if not 0.2 swing here I couldn’t actually afford to wait. Without the price pressure, I definitely hold and give no-neck another week.
Im currently thinking this transfer, but i also think that Pulsic could come just as good.
But feel like need to give Fraser one more week, as there such an unpredicatable team bournmouth and i will kick myself if jump off Fraser or Wilsom after one game and they link up against Villa and i miss a big haul 🤦🏼‍♂️

Fraser, perez, barkely and Wilson are all on my watch list for 2FT next gameweek.

Just hope dont miss the price rises and cant get them in at all then
I have wilson and king as well though so if fraser scores well, it is likely it is in the setting up of my two BOU players

I was on the fence too with Moura Martial and the price rise has scuppered this for me too but we knew it was likely and I was on the fence for a reason. Think it might be a blessing in disguise as Wolves away is a harder fixture than Chelsea at home, in my mind, given Chelsea’s shambolic defending and Wolves shutting out a good Leicester team in the road.

Thinking I might take the plunge on Moura Mcginn now though as a price rise there would prevent me getting Kane in next week as I have exact funds to upgrade Vardy. Still unsure on Kane so may still roll if McGinn is nowhere near a rise. Currently on 52% on FPLstatistics so if Martial went up at around 60% I might just go for it. Villa st home to Bournemouth a better fixture than Spurs away at City and Villa have a nice little run and McGinn looks to be a nice enabler. One game is not a lot to go on though!

Spot on. It's a big year for us. No excuses really now .

Poch may not rush Lo Celso if Eriksen stays. He likes players to be at the highest physical peak . The style he plays requires that. Just like he took a while with Lucas. I've heard Lo Celso is a better finisher than Eriksen. Exiting player by the sounds of it. Hope he adapts the the physical demands of the prem

I think so too. The rise was a blessing really..eased my temptation.

I could well be starting with both Lucas and Martial after this gw. Think we are doing the right thing holding. Possible mini wildcard for -4 with more info. Mcginn is good but he's a yellow card on legs..

Liverpool's defending is looking pretty terrible again. It makes me regret reshuffling my team to Robbo and TAA instead of keeping Kane.

I want to get Martial in but wolves away means I can wait a week longer.

More info and will be able to get Kane in without taking a hit.

It's hard to judge based on the price change sites, but if he either doesn't play or blanks this weekend I think we'll see the masses moving him out.
