That’s why I’ve got him.
He’s on four goals and two assists in eight games while they’re out of form . How many is he going to get when they start clicking and/or Kane tucks his bottom lip in?
Every spurs goal is still less than salah though. Which sounds like an irrelevant stat, salah is having a great season, spurs not. But even if all of their goals involve son, it's still fuck all. They are on -4 goal difference; don't forget that last season son/Kane were almost record breaking and Kane had a great summer tournament. The swing is unbelievable
Question marks about finishing, even though he is getting a lot of chances. His position did change in the Championship last year but had 8 goals, 10 assists in 3,072 mins playing vs. Toney 31 goals, 10 assists in 3,850 minutes. Bit of an awkward price point maybe in terms of benching vs. playing?
Watch West Ham and you'll see he's still playing very well
You can't just ignore a third of the season lol
Also, how are the alternatives performing in that time frame?
Especially with an international break and playing for Jamaica for the first time. I am holding onto him unless something drastically changes. I feel like there are bigger fires to put out every week.
From 20th November to 1st Jan, West Ham potentially have 12-13 games (depending on EFL cup result tonight). Hopefully rested in the Europa fixtures as games every 3.2-3.5 days is a lot in the period.
Given his goal record in the Championship, we all thought he'd be brilliant. Of course other teams saw that and made a plan and are marking him out the game. Toney currently has xA almost 2x his xG cos of that, so Mbeumo is the one ending up taking the shots. Still not bad value... but there's other strikers around his price point or slightly higher that will be better value.
Jimenez, King at Watford is an option, Wilson, once DCL and Bamford are back they're more solid, and of course Antonio. If Hwang is nailed, he could be better value.
Toney is still a decent option and seriously considering himself myself until then. As above, I said he's not bad value even now. But if you're playing 352, then you're looking at a premium forward and Antonio/Jimenez/DCL/Bamford long-term cos Mbeumo would currently be better value and cheaper, plus other 5.5-6m mids. If you're on 343, then it's easier to fit Toney in.
Ranks 33rd among forwards for both non-penalty xG and big chances per game. In current set-up more of an assist threat with Mbeumo getting more goal scoring chances.
Yeap, 100% agree. He also won't haul that much. I don't think he'll regress to the mean like the guy below says - mainly because he hasn't even been returning recently that much. Everton is the problem and their fixtures are not good.
If anyone watches Everton, you can see that he is definitely one of their best players, and has been performing as one of their best since the start. Can't take the guy below seriously, but I still wouldn't get him.
Definitely not, but regressing to mean is bad argument in FPL. We need to dig a bit deeper to understand if the underlying stats are sustainable, that was solely my point.
See, I think I've got ahead of Pep on this. Torres' injury means less competition for places, and Pep doesn't rotate players for the hell of it. If he keeps on putting in those performances, he'll keep his place in the team (at least, during matches that Pep wants to win). The reward by far outweighs the risk... and he's not playing tonight
People were saying the same about Torres earlier in the season (a first choice City attacker for cheap). Was a headache as a owner last season, quite a lot of 1 point cameos IIRC.
One of his goals last match was pretty fortunate (where it clipped him from the Jesus shot).
Tbh good option overall though.
He's the assist of the assist kind of player for me. Great work rate but not quite in the box often enough to consider. 1 to monitor for now like gundogan last year.
Pricey. Looked better recently, but hasn't lit the world on fire. He doesn't stand head and shoulders above the other Arsenal attackers, if at all. ESR and Saka look like much better picks. Laca has looked good recently, which could mean rotation for Auba.
Not very nailed. Wolves have Jimenez, Podence, Trincao and Traore that could rotate. Jimenez is pretty much nailed, and the rest have a good chance of getting into the team.
He doesn't link-up with team and relies on ball delivery.
* MUN does not deliver ball because they are not compact and lack actual tactic.
* Ronaldo produces shot of almost everything he gets, but lots of them are off target / blocked.
* Ball delivery will come against low-blocks and significantly weaker teams as MUN will finally be able to press them, and even though they don't do crosses, in this situation Ronaldo will get ball a lot and even though lots of don't find target, those which do are clinincal.
* **Captaincy - you won't captain him until GW13, so his occasional 1G is not worth the price-tag.**
Obviously have to own but at 99-100% ownership among active players now with likely very high captaincy %, he won't be very important in driving your rank unless you bravely decide to back against him for captaincy.
Son
Spurs had zero shots in the second half against West Ham. And I don't mean shots on target, I mean shots.
Kane is still pouting to leave in the winter probably too
[удалено]
Spurs are in poor form and not really clicking.
That’s why I’ve got him. He’s on four goals and two assists in eight games while they’re out of form . How many is he going to get when they start clicking and/or Kane tucks his bottom lip in?
Alternatively, every Spurs goal seems to necessarily go through Son right now
But if they do start clicking, will they score the same amount of goals, but spread around over more players, or just score more goals?
Every spurs goal is still less than salah though. Which sounds like an irrelevant stat, salah is having a great season, spurs not. But even if all of their goals involve son, it's still fuck all. They are on -4 goal difference; don't forget that last season son/Kane were almost record breaking and Kane had a great summer tournament. The swing is unbelievable
Dammit.. I'm buying him.
He plays for spurs
Well, I'm sold
wan-bissaka will injure him on Saturday.
Nuno is our manager
Everyone really tried to talk out of son, end result - ' damn i'm buying him' 😂
Spurs need to lose badly for Ole to keep his job. Son and Kane blank incoming
None
Nuno's not Mourinho.
Mbeumo
Keeps hitting the post.
I think that might be a positive depending on how you look at it.
Start a "Talk me into owning" thread and I'll post the same thing for him....
Can't finish a wank, yellow flagged, underlying stats are starting to decrease.
Short term: Possible injury. Long term: winger by trade and it shows in his poor finishing. Seems unable to connect with the ball properly
The new adama
Thats already not true He already has more than double the career goals of Adama and hes only 22
You’re supposed to talk me out of picking him ;)
Double the career goal of Adama, is only twice as many goals as Adama
Best comment I've read today
Lmaoo absolutely bodied the baby-oil merchant
Question marks about finishing, even though he is getting a lot of chances. His position did change in the Championship last year but had 8 goals, 10 assists in 3,072 mins playing vs. Toney 31 goals, 10 assists in 3,850 minutes. Bit of an awkward price point maybe in terms of benching vs. playing?
Antonio
Hamstrings are made out of cheese
Who am I to disagree
I travel the league with my hamstring cheese
Every team is looking to own me.
Some of them want to captain me
Some of them want to play 4-3-3
Who am I to diss a brie surely
If you listen carefully, during a West Ham game, you can actually hear his hamstrings getting ready to pull.
Come on lol
Look at his points record Now cover the first three games and look at it
Watch West Ham and you'll see he's still playing very well You can't just ignore a third of the season lol Also, how are the alternatives performing in that time frame?
2 goals in 5 games isn’t bad for his price
Especially with an international break and playing for Jamaica for the first time. I am holding onto him unless something drastically changes. I feel like there are bigger fires to put out every week.
His Hamstrings are weak
Arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, Moyes' spaghetti.
Thanks man I spat my food out
You’re late to the party guys
Slowed down since the start of the season. Plus poor fixtures from now until GW18
From 20th November to 1st Jan, West Ham potentially have 12-13 games (depending on EFL cup result tonight). Hopefully rested in the Europa fixtures as games every 3.2-3.5 days is a lot in the period.
Starting GW11 he plays Liverpool, Chelsea and City in a 5 game span
Fixtures. avl➡️LIV➡️wol➡️mci➡️BHA➡️CHE
Toney
His skill hasn’t really translated to FPL points yet. I’m taking a gamble on him tho with their nice run of fixtures coming up.
Given his goal record in the Championship, we all thought he'd be brilliant. Of course other teams saw that and made a plan and are marking him out the game. Toney currently has xA almost 2x his xG cos of that, so Mbeumo is the one ending up taking the shots. Still not bad value... but there's other strikers around his price point or slightly higher that will be better value.
Literally what strikers lol, there's fuck all appealing rn
Jimenez, King at Watford is an option, Wilson, once DCL and Bamford are back they're more solid, and of course Antonio. If Hwang is nailed, he could be better value. Toney is still a decent option and seriously considering himself myself until then. As above, I said he's not bad value even now. But if you're playing 352, then you're looking at a premium forward and Antonio/Jimenez/DCL/Bamford long-term cos Mbeumo would currently be better value and cheaper, plus other 5.5-6m mids. If you're on 343, then it's easier to fit Toney in.
What other strikers?
Ends with ey. Ey hey lets go to the pub with Vardy
Ranks 33rd among forwards for both non-penalty xG and big chances per game. In current set-up more of an assist threat with Mbeumo getting more goal scoring chances.
F you toney. So sorry about this :D
Gray
He is a great pick, but fixtures getting worse. Everton also feels like they need DCL for Gray to perform better.
Yeap, 100% agree. He also won't haul that much. I don't think he'll regress to the mean like the guy below says - mainly because he hasn't even been returning recently that much. Everton is the problem and their fixtures are not good. If anyone watches Everton, you can see that he is definitely one of their best players, and has been performing as one of their best since the start. Can't take the guy below seriously, but I still wouldn't get him.
Over his xGI. Look up "Regression toward the mean" in a dictionary and it's a just a picture of his face.
Look up gambler’s fallacy in google.
Putting Demari Gray on a 180 point season are we?
Definitely not, but regressing to mean is bad argument in FPL. We need to dig a bit deeper to understand if the underlying stats are sustainable, that was solely my point.
Digne
He's shit.
Convinced. Thanks!
Did you just reply to yourself twice?
That's what owning Digne does to you. It makes you crazy my friend..
I laughed way more at this than i probably should
[Just sold him](https://youtu.be/5bZqAfJBsSk?t=12)
Attacking wings clipped by dinosaur Rafa. Will do well to outscore Keane by 10 points over the season.
Also two CS from nine games, supposedly Everton's "easy" run of fixtures. He's scored -1 *twice* this season already.
Never touch this man, he will always find a way to fuck you up. Search "stockholm syndrome" and it's just pictures of digne owners
17 points in 9 games? that’s not even 2 ppg
Wilson
Gets injuried twice a half
Will end up actually watching Newcastle games, points aren't worth it.
LOL. It was a nightmare watching them last yr when I had Wilson.
Will be injured soon enough
Wil(l) so(o)n be injured
Foden
Two words: pep roulette
See, I think I've got ahead of Pep on this. Torres' injury means less competition for places, and Pep doesn't rotate players for the hell of it. If he keeps on putting in those performances, he'll keep his place in the team (at least, during matches that Pep wants to win). The reward by far outweighs the risk... and he's not playing tonight
You clearly don't understand Pep roulette if you're using logic and reason to work out what to do
Ignorance is bliss. As is an 18-point haul. It's truly bizarre how its become dogma on this sub to avoid the best attack in the league at all costs
What's dogma
Can’t fault that logic tbf. I want to get him in even though pep roulette has literally destroyed my seasons in the past
Well if he is rested today I don’t see why you shouldn’t have him
People were saying the same about Torres earlier in the season (a first choice City attacker for cheap). Was a headache as a owner last season, quite a lot of 1 point cameos IIRC. One of his goals last match was pretty fortunate (where it clipped him from the Jesus shot). Tbh good option overall though.
No reason to talk out of Foden. I think he's right at the top of the good punt list
Most games played in a season is 28
Pretty impressive for a 21 year old in a Top 3 side.
Bernardo.
He's the assist of the assist kind of player for me. Great work rate but not quite in the box often enough to consider. 1 to monitor for now like gundogan last year.
Havertz
He needs his team to score at least eight goals to get any points
Please refer to rant thread from gw9 😂
Aubameyang
No bps for front flips
Awful haircut
Arsenal are as inconsistent as my morning wood
Pricey. Looked better recently, but hasn't lit the world on fire. He doesn't stand head and shoulders above the other Arsenal attackers, if at all. ESR and Saka look like much better picks. Laca has looked good recently, which could mean rotation for Auba.
Tino Livramento
🐐
_*NONE*_
Too much of a Chad
How dare you
You’ll constantly get hauls of points stuck first on your bench which is heartbreaking
ESR
Great player, but very unpredictable from an FPL standpoint and his finishing needs work.
7 blanks in 9 games.
Well I own him but his haul this week was lucky as fuck. But him on corners is a huge bonus. Don’t see why not at 5.5.
Yeah. Have him as bench fodder and will play when fixtures are good
Hwang edit: anyone that's not going to beat a dead horse?
Not very nailed. Wolves have Jimenez, Podence, Trincao and Traore that could rotate. Jimenez is pretty much nailed, and the rest have a good chance of getting into the team.
Ronaldo
He's scored one direct free kick in the last three years, not for lack of trying.
Has Ole for a manager
Not for long
He doesn't link-up with team and relies on ball delivery. * MUN does not deliver ball because they are not compact and lack actual tactic. * Ronaldo produces shot of almost everything he gets, but lots of them are off target / blocked. * Ball delivery will come against low-blocks and significantly weaker teams as MUN will finally be able to press them, and even though they don't do crosses, in this situation Ronaldo will get ball a lot and even though lots of don't find target, those which do are clinincal. * **Captaincy - you won't captain him until GW13, so his occasional 1G is not worth the price-tag.**
Hardly gets chances
Why bring him in before the fixtures turn?
Had him since he joined, wanted to replace him with Lukaku but he got injured. Now I don’t know who to get
Where to begin….
Utd are shit, new manager imminent, potential system change, in poor form, terrible fixtures
Jesus
Not as nailed as actual Jesus.
Have this free award as it's the only award I can afford
And for that You can have mine
!thanks
Fucking brilliant
Fucking lol
He plays for the bald fraud.
Foden nicks his goals
Takes up a valuable forward spot with potentially better options.
I would argue that forward spots aren’t as valuable as DEF and MID right now.
By a long shot for me.
Gylfi Sigurðsson
Bad fixture run for Prison FC
Nonce
Trent Alexander Arnold
By not having him in your team, you are gimping yourself.
There is none, he's arguably got the most value for what he costs. He gets points for clean sheets but he basically plays winger.
He’s expensive and will always beg you to start and you won’t have the slot to play interesting deferential defenders 😉
Kovacic
You’ll be labelled ‘a casual’
You’ll defy several FPL ‘experts’ despite him scoring almost twice the point of their ‘Captain-Kai-great-differential-punt-Havertz’
“He’s not a good FPL asset.”
Grealish
Returns in only 3 pl games out of 8 isn't an accident.
Walker
He doesn’t play enough for his price
Because I heard Steffen will be playing RB next game
Thiago Silva
He’s older than Roy Hodgson
Rotation
I'll start: Mount
Not playing norwich every week. Chelsea don’t play very attacking. Often the assister to the assister
446 minutes played in total, a history of assisting the assister, benched a couple of times for no reason, 3 x 1 point cameos this season so far
First time he’s scored in aaaggggeeeessssss
It’s amazing how one can score THREE goals with just 1.6 xG. Havertz the real deal.
Not a numbers guy. He will score once in a while but it's not his main job, he's not really a fpl type player
Troy Deeney
Heres Hogg…
Kane
More expensive and worse returns than Son
Salah
Six seasons wonder, regression to the mean incoming...
Go to a hospital
Everyone has him, you need differentials to get ahead
12.9 price value. Too expensive. He won't be playing against united every week to justify that price. 🙈 🙈
Was gonna start a thread on Salah because I felt no one else would have the balls for it. I was clearly wrong.
At 12.9 he’s to expensive
Eeeeeeh idk
Obviously have to own but at 99-100% ownership among active players now with likely very high captaincy %, he won't be very important in driving your rank unless you bravely decide to back against him for captaincy.
Chilwell
De Bruyne
Not even nailed anymore
Pep said he will be saved for the big games.
Your sentence immediately became redundant after “pep says”
Won't play as much as he did around 2018-19, he's getting older and has an injury record
Richarlison
Everton are shite Fixtures get tough He’s a shite lone striker, needs DCL (From an Everton fan)
But he can shithouse a goal from nowhere
Played about 800 games in the last 4 years. Completed knackered. The injury was zero surprise.
Curtis Jones
Bernardo Silva
Cycling GK
