Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW21 starts WEDS 15th JAN @ 5:30am AEST [3 GAMES]

[vsberlina]

Maddison did well but Porro did better. Question now is one, both or none.

Vardy scored so Mavididi stays benched I think. Add some other rubbish scores by popular cheapos like Nkunku, ESR and Mount and it's going to be hard to work out who to get rid of first. Plus the need for City assets v Ipswich.

But Spurs have Everton at home. Everton were lousy so that's tempting too. Can't have them all. Maybe Isak has to go. 11 at home to Southampton was more like Isuck.

Porro is a top 5 DEF, so definitely one to own eventually.

Maddison is injury prone. Saka is now listed as a FOR, but Havertz playing CF is a must given he's listed as a MID.
Then there's the usual suspects, Bruno, Foden & KDB, chuck in Palmer, and there's your top 5 MIDs.
Eze also injury prone, but better pts returns than Maddison, so I'd punt on him first.

Gonna give Mavididi one more week. Swap to Hutchinson is a way out, or maybe some cheap cash cow will appear after this GW.

If you were targeting City vs IPS, should have done it in GW1 IMO. Hence why I grabbed Gvardiol and Haaland.

CHE tough 1st game. Easy run. No panic on Nkunku. Same with ESR. So cheap, can be given time. Home game this week too.

NEW down to 10 men early stunted Isak. Can't plan for stupidity. Unnecessary red card killed all NEW attackers.
If he's fit, Isak is one to hold. He and Son will be swings and roundabouts all season.

So I traded out Maatens from Aston Villa who scored 4 last week for Martinez from Man U for cash generation... 2 more trades that possibly should be done are Rodriguez and Nkunku to gain more cash but is it necessary or hold

You asked earlier about BE and price rises. These vary from season to season, and even somewhat as the season progresses.
No one knows the true formula (they might even make it up as they go along), but a really simple guide is the following.
$1m = 1 pt. So Haaland costs $12.36m. Over two weeks, it's 12.36 x 2 = 24.72. He scored 9, so his BE is 16. 9 + 16 = 25.
I'll reiterate that $1m = 1 pt is just a very simple guide. I recall last season it was $1m = 1.15 pts.

Doing algebraic equations with info provided so far, isn't giving much away in terms of how much 1 pt will change cash.
I think it was $75k, but don't quote me. Hopefully we'll know more once this week is over, and then the true BE and cash change will be revealed.

I wouldn't bring in Martinez just yet, as United have two tough games. If he gets 4 & 4, he'll score only 20 pts over 3 weeks.
Being 9 pts above BE, it might only generate $650k in cash.
Then when he drops the 12 from his cycle the following week, he might lose cash.

What you want is someone who spikes this week. Then that spike score will translate to two weeks of price rise.
Best to save transfers this week as there's no obvious standout. Use a booster and do 3 the following week when the info is definitive.

Chelsea played a UEFA Conference League game overnight. Nkunku scored a pen in the 50th minute (Palmer not on the pitch) but then got subbed in the 58th minute, just like in the prem.

 

[T43597]

My Fantasy side. Doing my best to overcome the temptation to make a transfer. Hoping my Tottenham assets fire this round. Id say my team lacks depth because of going for the big 2, plus TAA & Solanke. Only scored 55 in the first round partly because i made Isak captain over Salah, but im not panicking yet.

 

[T43597]

My RDT side. Hopefully Murphy gets an opportunity to play more than 30 minutes this round. Not certain about whether i play Livramento or Diallo. I think im committed to Nkunku & ESR on field. No trades even being considered.

 

[NakinakiFC]

Got Barco in FPL, so going to wait another week, and use the 2 trades to get rid of him for a 4.5 defender and maybe trade Pickford down to a 4.5 GK

Couple of other players I have in my team on my watch list that need to perform this week or they could be traded

Just my 2 cents, I would advise against using a FT for Barco (who should be your 3rd emg, 2nd emg at worst). Wildcard is the best time to deal with Barco; in GW4 or GW6. Save the FTs for injuries / minutes risk players in your starting 11 and for big fixture swings for premiums

Cheers. I heard CHE had a midweek game, but couldn't find it with my usual sources.

I would have preferred if Nkunku hadn't started, as you'd expect him to then start on the weekend.
If he lasted 60 mins, that wouldn't be too bad, but 58 mins is a problem.
I guess he gets one more week in both my FPL and DT teams, before he gets ditched for a surer player.

I wouldn't trade him just yet. He has plenty to offer. He will play more than 60 mins probably this weekend.

Yeah definitely hold. Very high upside at his price, especially in RDT. Re-assess after this week.

 

[Under The Dome]

If he continues to start then he stays.

I'll probably play 3 at the back after this week anyway with Davis.

 

[Pesci001]

Yeah definitely hold. Very high upside at his price, especially in RDT. Re-assess after this week.

Chelsea have a good run of fixtures over the next 6 GW

 

[tso]

Going to bench Nkunku and Mount and play 4-3-3.
Will dump them two next week with MGW and bring in 3 good BE players.
Even with good fixtures Nkunku's minutes and JS not great ATM.

 

[Pesci001]

I just found out from a live podcast - Solanke is OUT injured Porro ok to go he's IN
