GAMEWEEK 3 WAIVER TIPS for DRAFT FPL

[@startstatic]

Mate, you are a legend.

[@DraftFC]

You're a legend for watching! Glad to have you here

[@beckcutting9474]

Another great video bro, love it!

[@tobiass5252]

Thanks for Video, really comprehensive, I have Martinelli and owned him last season I’m done with him, only an 8 man league and no one wants him, so going for in order. 1. Trossard 2. Madueke 3. Savio Hope you agree have seen else where you do!

@draft FC, really enjoyed listening to your detailed podcast yesterday, brilliant. I have a question and in a 10 person draft league: I'd like to bring in Rogers to my squad but would have to lose either Eze or Szobazlai or Gibbs White...the only one I would consider a potential good move is the latter two with Eze one I think I hold on.

[@DraftFC]

Glad you enjoyed! Yeah I think if I had to drop one of those guys for Rogers it would be Szob (I've always had a soft spot for MGW!)

[@KM-br7oq]

Congratulations, Taz! ❤ I feel like Joao Felix might be a sell high sort of waiver option. Don't see him setting the world alight at all. Palmer is still the only Chelsea attacking (or overall even) player I have my eye on.

[@DraftFC]

❤️ You're probably right - will have his moments for sure, just depends how many minutes he's on the pitch for. Definitely a sell-high to someone in your league for a more dependable asset

[@gurkanunsal6378]

Hi mate, I have a question for you. I'm in a 14-person league, and my squad is: Goalkeepers: Arrizabalaga, Jose Sa Defenders: Van Dijk, Konaté, Romero, Colwill, Fofana Midfielders: Mbeumo, Mitoma, Rogers, Semenyo, Mac Allister Forwards: Haaland, João Pedro, Enes Ünal You previously recommended removing Mac Allister from the squad, and I agree with your reasoning. Now, I'm considering my options for a replacement. My watchlist: De Cordova-Reid, Schade, Jack Harrison, Odobert, Nelson (if he gets loaned) Available Waivers: Bissouma, Yates, Wieffer, Ramsey, Hinshelwood, Longstaff, G. Rodriguez, Milner, Warton, Gana, Iroegbunam, McNeil, Lukic, Lukonga, De Cordova-Reid, Ndidi, Winks, Mainoo, Anderson, Sangare, Aribo, Smallbone, Mario JR, Christie, Cook, Ouattara, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Schade, Gilmour, Jack Harrison, Hutchinson, Odobert, P.M. Sarr, J. Gomes, Dewsbury-Hall, Nelson (if he gets loaned), Enciso, Almirón, Werner, Grealish. Which of these would you recommend signing?

[@Beavy]

Thank you, enjoyed every minute! Any ideas on Trossard? Is he likely to come in and score every week now lol

[@DraftFC]

Thanks! Trossard is the player I should have included too as I'm quite high on him at the moment. I've got him down to start GW3 instead of Martinelli and if he does well could secure that spot like he did at the end of last season

[@Hugo-yl9zn]

Great video! I still have Toney, and now as he is leaving, these players are free (I also got Fullkrug and Solanke): Vardy, Evanilson, Strand Larsen, Cunha I also like Jhon Duran very much, but I'm not quite sure if he is good for my draft as he isn't starting. Which of these players would you recommend? Do you think Duran will start soon? Edit: is Edouard an option with his move to Leicester?

[@jackcoope6887]

Thoughts on Watkins, Murphy and Guehi for Robertson, Adama, and Darwin?

[@DraftFC]

Prefer the Watkins side. Tbh the midfielders are the same so cancel each other out. So it becomes Watkins for Robo + Darwin and I think Watkins is too valuable

[@nortonchow3286]

Which midfielders are on the top 10 list for GW4

[@mhallam7]

In such a tough spot with Toney, Nkunku, Calafiori, and Maasten being on low / no mins. I have waiver priority this week again. Last week got Evanilson to pair with Isak. If Toney stays in PL I’m rock solid up front. My mid field is weak with only Mbeumo, Bailey Hudson-Odoi. Nkunku will sit on my bench leaving J.Murphy to be dropped for either Felix or Madueke. Defenders are Munoz Pau and Maatsen this week with Calafiori being benched and I’m wavering out Todibo for either Estupinan, Nedeljkovic or Kadioglu. Who should I prioritise? Currently have 1 Felix, 2 Estupinan, 3 Nedeljkovic, 4 Kadioglu. I have also offered Nkunku for Rodgers but not confident in it being accepted..

[@DraftFC]

Hi mate - I'd prioritise Felix or Madueke, I'd put Nedeljkovic next as you need someone reliable for next few weeks - I wouldn't be too bothered about Estupinan as he could be a frustrating own too!

[@mhallam7]

[@jdotsaywhat]

Hi mate! You didn’t mention Gundogan…does that mean he doesn’t feature in your thinking for those midfield spots? I was going to draft him over madueke as I have first pick in my league

[@DraftFC]

I think I responded to another question about Gundo here somewhere - in short he’s a back-up/rotation option, don’t think he’s a regular starter unless they get injuries in which case he could become more interesting to me

[@wmk500]

Great vid - subscribed 👍 Bit worried about my defence in the long term : Ruben , akanji, mazraoui - which would you keep / trade? (12 man league)

[@DraftFC]

Legend, thanks! I think they're all decent long-term options for a 12-team league - don't see major problems with any of those 3 to be honest! You could look to diversify the city defence by trading one if you wanted to

[@aljosavage]

Great stuff, Mitch! Would you waiver out Doku for Rogers/Savio/Madueke? You mention that you feel Savio is more secure on the right with Bobb injured...

[@DraftFC]

I still have Doku higher for now

Rice + Porro for Szob and Stones. Which side do you think wins?

[@DraftFC]

Rice + Porro

[@DJM3KS]

Great info! Loved this video. Quick one. I have Hall and Livramento but want to drop one. Who would be the drop considering a season long outlook?

[@DraftFC]

At this stage we'd have to say Hall is the drop (though I was surprised he was dropped against BOU last weekend) - he's competing with Burn, Kelly and Livra can also do a job at left-back if needed. Livra is only competing with Trippier and it seems is the preferred option

[@DavidR.RodríguezAvilés]

Midfield of Son, Odegaard, Gordon, Bernardo, MGW on an 8 man league, took toney and trippier on draft… should i waiver bernardo for rogers, bailey or semenyo??? Love the content bruda keep it up

[@DraftFC]

Yep Bernardo out for Rogers or Bailey would be my move

[@oeji]

Hey Mate, who would you prioritise in order long term in getting more points for your draft Kudus, Rogers, madueke and Brennan Johnson?

[@DraftFC]

Kudus I have above those at the moment because he'll get very reliable minutes (and I'm generally a fan of his!)

[@Siunaldo17]

Thanks for the vid mate! Do you think it’s time to drop Toney and should I replace Bruno Guimares for either Declan rice, Rogers or hold on to him? Thanks again :)

[@DraftFC]

As of now looks like Toney is a drop, time to dip into the free agency options. I'd consider swapping Bruno G for Rogers I think - more fun/upside

[@jackbridges3797]

Would you drop Summerville this early? - with kudus bowen and paqueta minutes look limited. Would someone like szmodics be an upgrade?

[@DraftFC]

Yeah I would - he's not first XI and don't see him becoming first-choice unless there are injuries - Szmodics a good short-term punt for a few weeks

[@nikolajthorngaard2867]

Hi mate. Great content as always. I have no idea what to do with Rashford in my 9 man league. None of my competitors seems interested in trading him. But would you keep him or waiver him out? The likes of Gundogan, Soucek, Adingra, Iwobi, Tavernier, Savio, Szmodics, Elanga, Schade, BBC and Hwang are still available in my league. Cheers from denmark 😊

[@DraftFC]

I think I’d be inclined to hold him slightly longer if those are the calibre of replacements left to you. He may not have much trade value but I’ll guarantee you someone else will pick him up from the waivers next week!

[@ernestosola9828]

I have priority on my draft, and I’m going trossard over madueke.

[@DraftFC]

I would probably do the same

[@Scars8D]

Where would Semenyo be ranked in the season long midfielders list?

[@arzhangsalahshoor9774]

Wondering this too!!!

[@DraftFC]

Semenyo was very close to the shortlist but I could only fit in so many rows before the text got too small! 😂 I like him, he's just not got as high a ceiling as some of the others on there. That could change if he forms a good partnership with Evanilson - some signs already in the Newcastle game that could be the case. Over the season he'd fall in the middle of that list.

[@dp15101]

Thoughts on dropping walker for nedeljkovic and hall for schar? Also wondering whether to pick up kudus, trossard, or madueke for brennan johnson?

[@DraftFC]

The defensive moves are fine. The midfield question is answered in the video

[@mihaelmartinovic3415]

Thoughts on giving away L.Diaz and Cunha for Szoboszlai and Watkins? Other forwards are Gakpo and Armstrong, with a midfield of Saka ESR B.Johnson and MGW

[@DraftFC]

It's a fairly even deal - I'd prefer the Szob/Watkins side personally

[@SKCynical]

would you drop kovacic or nkunku for rogers?

[@DraftFC]

Yes I would

[@Teegs]

how do we get this podcast 2 days earlier so I can use it for my waivers haha

Yeah would be a good time as they might not be there next week!

[@goonernation4500]

Got a midfield of Saka, MGW, Semeyo, Barnes, Iwobi Thinking of dropping Barnes for Felix or Madueke or Gundo. Since Iwobi is starter, I want to keep Iwobi Got Muniz, Cunha and Ferguson as my forwards Thinking of dropping Ferguson for Wood What are your thoughts!!?

[@DraftFC]

Hi mate - yes to Ferguson to Wood. Also yes on Barnes to Felix/Madueke (not that keen on Gundo yet)

[@rahulkrishnan44]

where does doku rate among these midfielders, with savio?

[@DraftFC]

High - I like Doku and this is his second season at MCI now so should become a mainstay off the left - just need to hope he gets more consistency rather than exploding one week then disappearing on holiday for a month!

[@ernestosola9828]

⁠😂

[@Batugol99]

Would you guys drop Leon Bailey or Gibbs White for Rogers? Rogers seemed really good the previous week

[@DraftFC]

Depends on the rest of your squad, but I'd keep Bailey & MGW over Rogers

[@2UNNAMED2]

Hee Chan or Kamada out for Madueke?? Also is it time for toney out? Great vid!

[@DraftFC]

Yes and yes! (Obviously answering this as it seems he's on verge of leaving for Saudi)

[@Kobylad]

I've got sad Martinelli. Doku/Rogers/Savio on waivers. Too early? Trossard maybe too good of an impact sub and Marti hopefully just keeps playing 60-70. Either way he's my toughest choice.

[@ditokelio7860]

I'd grab Rogers if you can. As soon as Watkins comes back up to his usual form Rogers will be getting goals and assists. If it was Watkins from last season Rogers would have at least 2 assists already Seemed locked in, basically playing up front in almost every attack they have

[@DraftFC]

Martinelli is a tough one - I think you're right that Trossard is too good as an impact sub which could stop him starting. Martinelli is sort of too good to waiver though, if you want to move him on it's probably best done as a trade

[@nathankranz7584]

I’m considering replacing Bailey with Rogers. How would Bailey fit in to your season projection list?

[@DraftFC]

Bailey was very good last year so I can be more confident in Bailey than I can Rogers - it's a tempting knee-jerk move but I'd still expect Bailey to out-perform Rogers this year

[@jujulaville7629]

U da man 😤

[@pj5764]

Would you drop Hwang for any of the midfield options listed? Also I drafted Reece James but thinking to move off him and getting a villa defender, they’re all available, thoughts?

[@DraftFC]

Yeah I would - quite low on Hwang right now. Definitely move James on for a AVL defender - James is too unreliable to hold

[@SS8STEVE]

Would you recommend dropping mcneil or kamada for o'riley or merino

[@DraftFC]

O'Riley just broke his ankle and Merino I'm not sure where he'll fit in just yet. McNeil and Kamada are both droppable players but not for those 2 options

[@SS8STEVE]

@@DraftFC Thank you!

[@berinisdead]

Fellow spurs fan! Don’t think I’m going to be starting Isak and Gordon against our boys this week. Just can’t do it 🐓

[@DraftFC]

Haha I quite like doing it as 'insurance' in case it's a bad result - not a fixture we've done too well in recently! COYS!

[@deehkay26]

I managed to draft a pretty strong core of midfielders/forwards where I was confident enough to draft Shaw and James. 2 weeks in and haven't heard much of anything about either of them getting healthy-- should I let them go? Or hold out and continue to work with my other 3 defensive slots?

[@DraftFC]

Depends how happy you are with your starting XI this week. James is expected to be fit for GW4 by the sound of it

[@ricardosardinha3778]

Atm my midfield consists of Bailey/Salah/Bowen/Mbeumo/Nkunku. In the waiver list there’s Mitoma, Madueke, Sávio, Félix. Should I drop Nkunku or even Bailey for a Mitoma/Madueke? Or even a felix?

[@DraftFC]

Yeah I think Nkunku for Mitoma would be my first choice (aware waiver deadline has now passed, so hope you're happy with your moves!)

B Silva

[@alectrevelyan7172]

Why can't I find anyone talking about Gündogan? Isn't he a for sure starter for City for the season, maybe not for the next few matches but after that? Shouldn't we waiver him in? I don't mind having him on my bench for a few matches. What do you expect his minutes to be like this season and how highly would you rate him compared to other midfield options?

[@DraftFC]

Definitely not a regular starter - he’ll play a lot of the cup games and rotate into the league team when required/off the bench. Unless city get an injury or two he’ll be a very frustrating own in draft. If Alvarez didn’t go I don’t think they’d have brought him back

@@DraftFCthanks for the response, I appreciate it. Even with the limited attacking returns from konsa compared to the other two defenders, you still prefer him? My current defenders are white, gvardiol, and schar so I am need of a 4th solid defender.

[@DraftFC]

If I knew the others would 100% play I'd prefer them for that reason, just don't have any headache with Konsa. Still a chance Digne starts again and a slight chance Konsa is pushed to right-back with someone else filling in at centre back.

[@2UNNAMED2]

Is it worth getting rid of schar for the new villa fullback?

I think Schar probably has some trade value unless you're in a smallish league. Short/medium term it's a good move but I know a lot would have drafted Schar as a potential season-keeper

[@TheWhitemigs]
