FPL GW18 MY TRANSFER PLANS! | SAKA REPLACEMENTS | Fantasy Premier League 2024/25

[@LarsDevos]

Heroic timing!

[@arcanum360YT]

At this point, get any players from any team playing Man City

[@PaldenGyatsoYolmo]

I was planning on starting Rogers for the same reason but sold him for Iwobi. City have conceded 2 or more than 2 goals everytime they drew or lost in this run

[@klaktoter8562]

Fran don’t make my mistake and move into Odegaard because of the differential potential. I did it when he came back from his injury and it was an expensive mistake!! Missed out on many points elsewhere !

[@Michaelkaydee]

Made the same error

[@MDot97]

I see Jackson and Colwill missing one of FUL(h) or IPS(a). C.Palace are playing well and that's who they play SAT Jan 4, after Ipswich on MON Dec 30, so possibly it's that match.

[@Dr.YazanAbdulaal]

Already recorded and published a video 😍😍😍 My Mannnn!!! Thanks

[@paulo_bento]

Love videos like this!!! Thank you so much for answering all of our questions.

[@lbj1262]

While the data suggests that Ødegaard will be on pens in Saka’s absence, it wouldn’t shock me if Havertz gets the nod instead.

[@banzaikk]

Doubt it, since he gave the penalty to Trossard when both Odegaard and Saka was out.

[@mathiaslundt6150]

Would you take a -4 hit to do saka and ait-nouri to Bruno and trent?

[@MDot97]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="727">12:07</a> it's funny you mention the only two times where Solanke would earn more than 6 FPL Pts in a gameweek. NFO(a) is a bad entry point, I see Spurs performing like they did against Bournemouth(a). Perhaps the players look less tired than usual on a SUN to THUR turnaround. Spurs could win at NFO but it would surprise the bookies.

[@Eric-Y7]

I'm on a good score so far as well, Fran! Thx for pumping out these videos so quickly

[@MDot97]

Mbeumo out could be popular but it can wait another two gameweeks because of Saka's injury. So much potential with LIV against LEI, for those with low rank, it's an easy way to climb up because the xG for LIV has to be close to 3.0 on Boxing Day surely.

[@Oljkkk]

Bro saka will be back for the next game

[@xbugswrld]

​@@Oljkkknot sure where you got that info from but Arteta himself said it could be a serious injury and Saka was seen on crutches. I'd be surprised if he's back by gw21

[@FPL_Drago]

​@@Oljkkkno way he plays the next one. It's going to be 2 weeks minimum

[@Oljkkk]

@@FPL_Drago Ederson went off on crutches once and played 3 days later. Look how quick saka has been back when been injured

[@dunmem7417]

No Liverpool attacker besides Salah is worth moving into unfortunately, their minutes will be shared over this festive period

[@Maxrodon]

Hi Fran, for Saka replacements, what’s your thoughts on Iwobi?

[@Brettburngoat]

Thoughts on strand Larson to Isak and saka for someone like sarr for a -4 also if I did Larson to Isak my budget is 7.8

[@Frieden81]

Why do you say Newcastle is a good fixture? Have you seen Newcastle last 3 games?

[@FPLFran]

I don't know how many times I have to mention that last 3 games is a pretty worthless metric especially when 2/3 games are relegation contenders. If you wanted to include a league game in this sample size they conceded 4 to Brentford? Is this meant to be bad?

[@Frieden81]

@ They have found form. They will beat Villa at home for sure.. Newcastle always Play good against good teams.

[@MDot97]

@@FPLFran Newcastle are playing well, not all top offensive teams keep clean sheets against the poor sides, look at ARS in gw6 and 7, Man Utd at Ipswich, Chelsea at Leicester or at Southampton etc, Man Utd are a mediocre team this season and their +2 goal difference on 6-4-6 record reflects that. Could easily see Newcastle draw or win at Old Trafford.

[@samyamparajuli2432]

So glad I kept the faith in Rogers ! 45 points and counting 😊

[@FPL_Drago]

I think I'm going Sarr and Jackson, out of Saka and Cunha. Cunha was going next week anyway. Sarr was coming in in GW19, so that's just happening a week early.

[@dtrader1907]

Have you thought about Foden for the next 5?

[@tomosthornton791]

City are playing so badly that it must be a risk

[@dtrader1907]

@@tomosthornton791 I agree! But everyone seems to be using the same players, so I feel like Foden is a good differential for the next few gameweeks! They have a pretty decent run coming up

[@dtrader1907]

Everton, Leicester,West Ham, Brentford and Ipswich in the next 5!

[@tomosthornton791]

@dtrader1907 yea fair enough. I have kept haaland and it seems silly to get rid now for Isak. Missed the boat a bit I think but thought haaland was a good differential to keep. I do still have Palmer and aalah

[@tomosthornton791]

@@dtrader1907 you have to do something a bit different to get big rises but depends if the template bangs I suppose

[@bbokfan]

if money is not a factor, would you go odegaard or Son? Still odegaard I'm assuming due to Son's minute risk during this period?

[@tomosthornton791]

There's better options for cheaper imo. You don't have to spend all your money in one go

[@Tranmere75]

I want to get Bruno in for Saka but already have Amad should I still do it?

[@Luxov.]

Im a little stunned wether i should start Rico Lewis or Robinson for GW18 any ideas?

[@MDot97]

Rico Lewis is playing EVE(h) while Robinson is CHE(a), I would play Lewis, it's the only reason he is in the team because I'll be surprised if Man City keep a clean sheet v Leicester(a) or West Ham(h).

[@Luxov.]

Ty!

[@MDot97]

@Luxov. no problem, happy holidays!

[@Luxov.]

TY Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@yayayayayaa4405]

Is Rico Lewis not suspended for 5 yellow cards?

[@tomosthornton791]

Should I get rid of haaland for Isak still you reckon. I think city will still start scoring soon

[@Karan129600]

Is Munoz a good pick for Konsa?

[@DaftZzzzz]

Would you take Trossard as a cheap Saka replacement?

[@dannyb9209]

Think im on 53 atm with palmer salah captain and strand larsen left..Happy with that Wanted saka in next game but now thinking..mitoma to sarr and strand larson to Jackson or havertz

[@omaralmoaibed4190]

Is it too late to get Isak now? I sold him for Jackson when he got injured 💀

[@Lukeb23]

Hey Fran! Would you do Mitoma and Joao Pedro to Amad and Jesus for a -4? Getting sick of Mitoma now. As soon as I saw Jesus’ performance in the cup I was excited, which was obviously followed with the 2 goals in the league. Still not sure about Amad as a pick either, but Brighton have fallen off a cliff and I’d rather get 2 points at 5.2 million than 6.5.

[@lucascleeve7052]

Other way around mate, brace in the league, Hatty in the cup

[@Lukeb23]

@ Sorry haha yes of course my bad, just changed it now 😅

[@bharata80]

Odegaard plays too deep from time to time and will do great pre-assists but not so much g/a contribution. And with Jesus back, are we sure Odegaard on pen is 100 percent certain?

[@bilal1912-g9f]

How about getting Haaland for the next 5 GW? Seems weird, but he became differential and City should get better in easier fixture 😅

[@sergeyopolko8041]

How about Mateta?

[@lolnikhil274]

Not sure on odegaard, I've had him for 4 weeks and all blanks... and subbed off 78th and 61st min in recent games Arsenal scored 5 today and the bulk of his xGI came from the corner... yes hes now going to be on corners and penalties now but from open play I'm not sure i want to hold him any longer when bruno, gordon etc are outperforming him. He just feels too deep to profit from rebounds or tap ins

[@andrewthompson7681]

Yeah Odegaard tends to get the assist to the assist, or the pass before that one, still integral to the team but this season hasn’t been a great fpl pick

[@novelty8theory494]

Can't believe I benched Aina for Kerkez just before the deadline. Knew deep down it was a mistake but did it anyway!!!😏

[@dominicmullock8517]

should i just go saka to palmer

[@MDot97]

yeah that's the best replacement close to his price. Palmer is a solid option.

[@James-xm3ex]

@@MDot97 understatement😹 Palmer and Salah are the top 2 assets in the game and nobody else is close to

[@MDot97]

@@James-xm3ex yes James that's why I advocate for Palmer. 😆

[@Bandana334]

If you dont have him already, its a no brainer

[@arvindmehta8087]

What about Cunha to Gakpo?

[@CairneyGG]

Having no realistic route to Salah and no Arsenal defence is making me want to free hit this week.

[@James-xm3ex]

How have you got yourself in this situation

[@CairneyGG]

@James-xm3ex Erratic decisions and an insatiable lust for high risk differentials. And Erling Haaland.

[@ryangardner6804]

I'm 0.1 short of Saka and Cunha to Jackson & Foden. Feel like it could have a ton of upside as Foden is a huge differential still.

[@Oljkkk]

Foden 😂😂😂😂 bro has 1 goal 1 assist the whole season he’s mr 1 pointer

[@MDot97]

@@Oljkkk Fixtures now are much better for Man City. The next couple in particular you could see 2/3 bonus if Foden is playing. Haaland will score against Leicester but the team overall needs a LOT of improvements. It will be interesting to see who leaves Man City in January.

[@ryangardner6804]

@@Oljkkk Just wait 5 gameweeks and come back to me

[@Oljkkk]

@ lad foden was goalless for 11 matches in prem 2 g/a in 12 games he is very bad this why saka and palmer clear of him. Haaland couldn’t score against Juventus leaky defence spurs Brighton or Bournemouth he is finished now until Rodri gets back to control the game

[@Oljkkk]

@ it is a waste of money

[@klaktoter8562]

Fran = 🐐

[@lucakruse7056]

Horrible week... Benched Rogers instead of Joao Pedro and lost 12 points. 2 mins before deadline i changed Aina for Lewis und lost 15 points on top... two missed bechings und 27 lost points. FPL hits again...

[@Abdulsalam.Allahim]

I think taking Saka out to chase 2 GWs is a mistake, specially that there aren't any good replacements that are better than to play Rogers.

[@losk.s6555]

Bros quick

[@christianapedaile9419]

Saka to Foden?

[@elliejohn6525]

Not every week Mbeumo can get lucky. Others will get lucky at times too.

[@tomosthornton791]

I agree. He has spawned about half his goals

[@qasimarshad2662]

benched aina and rogers. hurts my soul

[@MDot97]

Son is a solid pick if it's a three week punt but considering Saka to Son would be your move.... it's a no lol

[@losk.s6555]

Get Bruno and Havertz to cover Arsenal attack. 2 xMins titans

[@Michael_Kachi]

No Foden love?

[@faisalnaser8927]

thank you sir

[@Fpl8646]

Benching City Defenders but also benching Rodgers 🤔 That logic is interesting

[@MysterioFPL]

Don't understand the Solanke pick at all. Hes really so underwhelming as an fpl pick from a spurs fan. I get the models like him but if you watched him you may feel a lot different Also Odeguaard? How? He's not really pulling up trees. 4 goals yday and nothing

[@ref123]

As an arsenal fan. Odegaard is worse without saka.

[@klaktoter8562]

Bro you’re so right it’s time to move away from saka , total waste of money
