The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 2020/21

What happened to the time when Prem teams didn’t take this trophy seriously?

They are all winning or have won.

Leicester aren't

Yes I think you confused yourself there.

Most of us here are confused most of the time

It was the Fuchs og that did it.

And the Jamestown I've been drinking

Gap between Prem and the rest of the football league highlighted good and proper this evening.

The Everton kid at LB Nkounkou looks like a bit of a baller, might get a Prem look in at some point as Carlo seems to think Digne can do centre back as well

edit: can't see him listed in the game at the moment

Didn't Digne play as LCB (of 3) in a nightmare performance post Lockdown?

Probably, they were a bit shaky in general back end of last season. Look more solid now, bar Pickford again tonight and it was only Fleetwood. £6m on a defender who is very attacking, but you expect a few clean sheets along the way. Holding Digne for now

Holding Digne's what?

I wonder if the game had been last night would Havertz have avoided a drop?

It certainly appears so

Transfers In Last Hour(Top 5):
- De Bruyne(3169)
- Havertz(2872)
- Podence(2571)
- Son(2387)
- Calvert-Lewin(2325)

Depth in quality of the top teams also deeper than ever.

HAVERTZ HAT-TRICK - MASSIVE POINTS if hes in your sun dreamteam

Hes in my sons Rob, you checked the table out.
He's all over the leaderboard like Covid.

[Owsler]

Watch Ziyech and Pulisic marked as fit for WBA game and ruining Havertz's big day.

[Stevieste]

Why would they ruin it ?

Havertz would be immense in that number 10 role, with them 2 either side of him and Werner upfront.

Ive got him in my team and can’t wait for them 2 back to assist him

[swadd1er]

Foden, Walker & Mahrez start tonight.

All 3 on the bench at the weekend?

[SirMattBugsby]

Foden, Walker & Mahrez start tonight.

Don't do this please. I have enough problems..

[Archy]

Goodness me, with Foden starting tonight that puts the kaibosh on him for my wildcard team

[From4corners]

Why? If he doesn't start against Leicester he might start against Leeds. This is what you get.

[math!]

So Man City have a new striker who is 17 and about the size of Dzeko. Scored a fantastic goal too. Obviously provides a very different option to Jesus and Aguero if Pep trusts him. Could mean Jesus is not as 'nailed' if it happens.

[Lucky]

Son with a goal and two assists .... for the time being he seems to be a "must-have"

[murf]

Played twice in a week. Due a rest now.

Excellent point

[Archy]

Because I was really hoping he was in the first XI this season but Pep playing him in the Mickey Mouse cup suggests he’s maybe not. If what I get is someone with a high probability of coming on for a 1 pointer in any given game then it makes me question the wisdom of the selection.

[Stevieste]

KDB is on.....hope he warmed up properly, hamstring pulling weather this evening

[blahblah]

slow down cowboy. We are only 2 wks in and city (like other big teams) will be playing every 3 or 4 days with the crazy efl cup rounds in quick motion. The pep lottery is inevitable. Even KDB isnt rotation proof

I’ve never used Twitter as an FPL resource before but I’ve started to dabble this year. Does anyone have any recommendations for good accounts? I tend to prefer data driven analysis over armchair pundits.
