Fantasy EPL - 18/19

[jd2010]

Theo might not be but the fixtures are kind.

Pedro might be but that would be an easy transfer out if required.

Iwobi is just dirt cheap and Arsenal's fixture is opening right up. Could go Demarai Gray as well here if Iwobi doesn't work out.

I like Everton's fixtures but don't trust Theo. Just a gut feel a Tosun or Gyfli will outscore him.

I found it funny people were saying Arnie is fixture proof after scoring against Arsenal.

Lol.

People were saying Arnautovic was fixture proof since preseason

Scored against Chelsea and arsenal last year, not a new way of thinking.

I know, I'm saying Arsenal are shit so it's funny people were saying it.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

In thinking of it, Perhaps Pedro a better option than Walcott.

Personally I don't like either. Walcott for unreliability and Pedro for possible rotation in a pretty strong looking Chelsea side.

Ahaha

 

[Cruyff14]

Tempted to wildcard. Alonso is looking like on absolute must.

What is the consensus on Callum Wilson?

Haven't finalised this obviously, but I still have 1.9 ITB which I obviously want to utilise. Just not sure where. The midfield obviously looks weak. Could also afford to get Zaha in but I am still a little iffy on Palace this season.

 

[Cruyff14]

Also, Pedro, Mhki or Moutinho?

 

[jd2010]

Albrighton

 

[SM]

Ffs why did I trade Lucas.

 

[Cruyff14]

Now toying with this:

Obviously no Salah but that allows me to bring Kane in.

 

[SM]

Not sure whether to go full on and use my wc or just do some surgery and cop a -8. My thinking being at this rate Alonso will outscore shaw by 8, and downgrade Salah to mane since they are scoring similar.

you are thinking of ditching Salah? the bloke already has 8,9,8 to his name hit 303 points last year at 10+ ppg and his fixture will open up in r9, using your wc will really limit your ability to get him in if he goes nuts. if Mane can match him then all is not lost but wouldn't you want both from r9 onwards?

And mane is ahead of him costing 3.2 less. It is a tough call but need to free up cash somewhere. If I save my wc then there's a chance to get him back by dropping firmino to Wilson and going very light up top, but mendy, Robertson and Alonso almost seem essential at the back.

 

[SM]

Other logic is mane is shooting up in value while Salah is standing still. Means theoretically a few good weeks from mane and suddenly jumping back to Salah (if necessary) is a lot cheaper.

 

[jd2010]

Salah is one of the few mids who I can trust 9 weeks out of 10

fair enough, but remember Salah scored 32 times last year to Mane's 10.

Is that reliability worth 3m?

Put it this way. Would you trust Salah + Shaw to outscore Mane + Alonso 9 weeks out of 10?

Mane was injured for a chunk. Their stats are very similar this season.

Probably not but I’d have both Alonso and Salah

 

[SM]

Probably not but I’d have both Alonso and Salah

Then you're adding in a third layer. Mane + Alonso + firmino or Salah + Alonso + Wilson.

 

[VSTone]

De Gea is not looking like the set and forget I had him pegged for, so I am shopping for a GK in the coming weeks if Man U can't get their defensive shit together soon.

 

[VSTone]

Probably not but I’d have both Alonso and Salah

same here

 

[jd2010]

It’s nice to have 6-7 you can really trust

Allison
Robertson
Mendy
Alonso
Salah
Aguero
David Silva
Kane
Zaha
Arnautovic
Hazard
Gross (kind of)

Second option
