MY FPL GW18 TRANSFER PLANS | SAKA REPLACEMENTS ⚠️

[@FPLFocal]

Heading into London this afternoon so an earlier than usual transfer plans vid. Who are you replacing Saka with?

[@EPIICFOOTBALL-ej8vb]

I’m going for a -4 this. I need to get Isak in as well massively transfer plan. Amad for Saka Isak for Joa pedro. Also do you know how long Saka will be out for? Ok start to gw 17 as well. Couldn’t decide to start Roger or Joa pedro. But I started Roger’s and it payed off

[@FPLFocal]

@@EPIICFOOTBALL-ej8vb No confirmation on how long he's out yet but given he left on crutches I'd imagine it could be at least 4 games maybe more, as it was his hamstring

[@dtrader1907]

@FPLFocal How about Foden? I know City are looking crap but their run over the next 5 games looks pretty decent! And I feel like Foden could be a good differential for the next 5. Let me know your thoughts!

[@british87]

Risk reward but I'm going for Jota the Slotter

[@EPIICFOOTBALL-ej8vb]

@@dtrader1907Never get a player just because of 1 game. Only buy a player who’s been on form for 3 or more. We saw this mistake with Joa pedro. this week don’t buy Jesus cause he could just of been lucky seeing that he didn’t provide a goal 24 games before that.

[@jamesfreeman8652]

Followed up the Ait-Nouri/Robbo red card double up with Rogers and Aina #1 and 2 on the bench. It's just who we are mate

Slight contrast in fortunes I'm on 12 from 8 with huijsen and Rogers on the bench, god I love this game 🥰🥰

[@iykeaustin8979]

You captained Isak, didn't you?

[@11896r]

Benched Aina and Rogers but had a gut feeling so had the bench boost on

[@masoomahmed9560]

Who are the other 2

[@11896r]

Porro and Verbruggen

[@markwhite1213]

Quicker off the mark than Isak!

[@matthartshorn9483]

Looked like Hersteler wasn't happy with João Pedro after the game. Almost shoulder barged him too.

[@FPLFocal]

Didn’t see that 😮

[@matthartshorn9483]

@FPLFocal madness for a manager to do that tbh.

[@CojaboBerlin]

I went from Saka to Odegaard as I still think that they have the best schedule ahead (looking at my team). I don´t want to rely too much on Chelsea (already have Palmer) & Amorim´s ManUtd aren´t on a clear trajectory. I thought about Murphy, but as you said. He isn´t proven to gain many minutes. Due to Saka being injured I can transfer in Isak for Cunha. Still have to take a hit, but I take this as I believe that Odegaard will get me points versus Ipswich. I can´t take too big risks anymore as the season has been starting really bad for me. If I want to gain rank I want to stay with the top-performing teams. Arsenal offer this. A 2nd Liverpool asset like Jota or Diaz was also in my head, but again - no guarantee for minutes. Bruno plays at times deeper for ManUtd. Hoping for penalties doesn´t cut it for me. After 5-6 game weeks I want to switch back to Saka. Perhaps I have to adjust earlier if Odegaard isn´t delivering.

[@silent3472]

Have Rogers and Huijsen whos just scored on the bench. Just got trolled by Robertson last week as well.

[@natdaone5075]

I might just take a huge punt on Martinelli. Only 6.7 million.

[@marijan654]

Do you think he'll play more minutes now thats saka injured?

[@natdaone5075]

@ It’s possible he gets more minutes. Jesus’ current form can’t be ignored so he has to start more games in the striker position. Trossard/Martinelli would likely be the wingers. I might be wrong so take this with a grain of salt.

[@Billiamwoods]

I was thinking this too but Arsenal fans keep telling me he's been dogwater this season so maybe he's just gotten lucky a few times

[@cheekster777]

Have a great time in London, Oscar. Thank you.

[@netgeo6100]

Brought in Isak and captained him sitting on 40 points 6 to play

[@iykeaustin8979]

Brentford have 2 nice games sandwiched in that run actually. Southampton and City.

[@aryapant]

My plans are: Robertson out, Robinson in Evanilson out, Isak in I will probably hold Saka unless it's a long term injury.

[@greyapples2291]

I'm thinking of Bowen for a one GW punt.

[@sapirovski3335]

Raya Gvardiol, colwill, saliba, gomez, oshea Saka, salah, palmer, rogers, semenyo Pedro, jacksom and cunha 3 free transfers 0.1 million in the bank what should i do?

[@Neev_Shah]

Is duran an alternative to look at for joao pedro

[@Offsideopinionz]

Villa fan here he’s still not a guarenteed starter I think he’ll be rotated over this busy period

[@goober_]

currently 25 pts with Rogers (14) and Aina (15) on the bench behind Lewis (0), it's an xmas miracle

[@vtvToba-f2b]

Should I transfer out Jota for Trossard? Got a triple Liverpool in van Dijk, Salah and Jota (had Aina and Rogers but captained Haaland). @FPLFocal

[@jannekalliokoski1968]

1st thought was sell with 2FT Saka to Bruno and Cunha to Isak but I’m 0,1 short. Maybe -4 Lewis to Castagne to fund the transfers. What do you think?

[@Offsideopinionz]

I’m exactly the same 0.1 short ffs

[@jannekalliokoski1968]

@@OffsideopinionzWhat’s your plan? -4?

[@jannekalliokoski1968]

2nd thought Saka to Odegaard and Cunha to Isak with 2FT. Exactly suitable for my budget.

[@Offsideopinionz]

@@jannekalliokoski1968 I’ve looked at this was just waiting for todays games as Bruno did have a number of chances however Utd are Utd was going to bring in Amad instead but probably not now

Nothing atm

thought so. I definitely want some reliable news before transferring out Saka. Seems unlikely with Arteta though.

[@malcolmd7050]

@@johnbroadfoot5148ngl since its a hamstring injury with him being on crutches, he’s probably out for weeks if not months. This ain’t your ordinary knock.

Jackson or wood

Hell no jesus just just started to score goals and he can be benched same as duran. They have watkins on the bench minutes big problem and solanke you can't trust spurs ​@@CojaboBerlin

[@Racing_L14M]

I’m finally getting in Salah for Saka. Haven’t been able to sell Haaland and can’t before those fixtures. Salah, Haaland and Palmer threemium seems crazy but it is what it is…

[@roym2185]

Well this makes things interesting. Saka out means we can all afford basically everyone. Salah, Palmer, Trent, Isak, Bruno, Gabriel, Jackson, etc. Not sure whether to go Saka-Maddison and Evanilson-Isak for free, or Ev-Isak, and then Saka to Enzo to also afford Digne to Gabriel for a hit. Decisions. Decisions. Good luck everyone! Although less luck than me please.

[@FPL_worm]

early focal video?! Let's go!

[@Billiamwoods]

I was so proud of bringing in all 3 of Isak, Murphy and Hall for this week, but I'm also one of the many who benched Aina, so my smile got wiped right off

[@unholyholy]

4:17 I thought I heard he never miss a goal when he scored. Sorry read too many Antony meme.

[@dmyt]

With Saka’s injury looking lengthy im thinking of these early moves Saka -> Sarr Welbeck -> Isak Collins -> Trent Good moves?

[@lucadegabriele6394]

I didn't start Rodgers and still got 84 Points thanks to Salah and Isak!

[@jamesheadspeath3726]

What do you think of Isak's fixtures though?

[@4Glasses-t3j]

Im thinking of doing saka to sarr and konsa/van hecke ( prob konsa because i want to hold van hecke for brentford and bench him for 2 weeks first ) for trent, but this is a -4, but also enables me to go from joao pedro to wood next week because his fixture is getting hard so 3 transfers total in 2 weeks, getting sarr, trent and wood, would u recommend even if i get a -4 and if u recommend, should i sell konsa or van hecke this week, is sarr the best option for these transfers and is wood a good option, if u think is good, i want to buy early, just in case theres some price update around saka/trent/sarr or smthg, is jesus a shout?, thank you in advance

[@hmqlegend5674]

What are your thoughts on -8. Saka, enzo/rogers, cunha -> fernandes, jota and mateta or gabriel jesus

[@jpjordan90]

Whats a standard length of time out for hamstring injury?

[@FPLFocal]

Varies massively depending on the grade, could be 1-2 weeks or over a month

[@FPLFocal]

Though at this time of season even a week is a lot of games

[@pez6905]

3 to 6 weeks

[@Qlicky]

3-4 weeks.

I was thinking Saka to Bruno but already have Amad should I still do It?

Sending Saka to mbeumo and upgrading Pedro to isak I think

[@joshuamitchell5530]

[@rohank1982]

Maddison for Saka? Seems to be getting the points albeit you don’t know when they’ll come

[@MasterSock]

Would do Saka and Van Hecke to Sarr and Trent but I don't think it's worth a -4

[@matthartshorn9483]

I've got saka to replace but I already have, Palmer, Bruno, Enzo, Salah, isak and Jackson. I swore I wouldn't pick any more spurs players either haha.

[@asmundhalleland2884]

What do you guys think about bringing haaland back, in with saka money. City has a good run of fixtures coming up and the bad trend surely must turn soon? Worht it or not? Im thinking: Isak to Haalnd Saka to Tyler Dibling

[@Upper90]

Took out isak last week, rodgers this week🙃🙃

[@JoshR842]

Worth a -8? Sanchez to Raya Saka to Sarr Cunha to Jackson

[@koolamrit]

Fantastic as always. What are your thoughts on saka and joao pedro to foden ( good fixtures ahead )and jesus

[@FPLFocal]

Jesus is really streaky, probably does well against Ipswich but he's never been a reliable FPL asset and some more difficult fixtures after that

[@koolamrit]

@FPLFocal thanks a ton ... Stay blessed

[@OceanLoader]

Rogers and Aina on bench. Still sick about it as the decision to play Joao Pedro instead of Rogers was made last minute after watching deadline streams. Wish I'd just slept in now ffs

[@michaelnorthcote3194]

Is Trent worth it Oscar? I had him for the first 11 gameweeks. He got clean sheets, but didn't really look like getting enough attacking returns to justify his price.

[@FPLFocal]

I think he’s worth it, hasn’t hit a huge return yet but it’s in his calibre, LEI (H) next is a perfect entry point and the potential DGW24 a bit later

[@michaelnorthcote3194]

@FPLFocal Will spend some more time thinking about whether to bring in Trent! With Saka out, the funds are there. Thanks for the videos Oscar!

[@georgeangelidakis2697]

transfered out rogers for amad for my bench

[@carlneff6954]

Am I a bad person for hoping that one of my starters comes down with a really bad case of diarrhea and doesn't start, so that Rogers can come off my bench and get me 14 points? I hope I'm not the only one thinking such evil things, especially around the holidays. I only want the diahrea attack to last until the game is over!

[@teba555]

Both Aina and Rogers on the bench and almost captained Isak, but didn't...🥲

[@Zubbinho1]

Saka and JSL to 1. Bruno and Wood or Jota and Jackson?

[@danielg4886]

Is jota good replacement for saka?

[@AjewoleBoluwatife-in7bb]

Thinking the same but am afraid of Sloth rotations

[@RandomHuman91]

I VC’d Isak 😭 Will have to see about Saka, might stick him on the bench or just not do a transfer as I think my squad is relatively fine

[@RandomHuman91]

However looking at selling: Gvardiol, Mitoma, Dalot or Robertson. I think the rest of the team is relatively fine though

[@mdawg1247]

Own Salah and Palmer thankfully but keeping the faith in overpriced Haaland has been rough especially after that Isak hatty. Holding Haaland for the next 5 GWs then will sell before the tough run of fixtures

[@MustafaAshah-el9nc]

I’m going for sarr and the extra money I’ll take a pint of Jesus, now Saka is out he will be the main target for odagaards magical passes, over the chisrtmas period he could get me 8 points but I think he will now feel like the main man again, would not be shocked to see him heading into the second half of the year on 5 assists and another goal in the next 3 games

[@PragasanGovender]

The plan is yo sell saka for maddison or son

[@Tony-df5rs]

Sarr vs Rogers? 🤔

Brought in Isak as soon as he returned from injury after that win against Arsenal. I could have already seen his potential for a hatrick in future games. I decided to captain him and have Schar and Hall. Worth it as my rank doubled. Arteta is notorious for not being open about injuries so Saka gets one more week for me. Cucarella also gets unsuspended soon.
