[@Irishpitterrier]

Here we go 🍿

[@Bohica1989]

Thanks, love the content!

[@elmejia7]

So insightful! No other creator has in-depth, sober data like yours. Would you play Rogers or Semenyo this week? Cheers mate!

[@speardrops]

@elmejia7 thanks! Rogers, just. However, Semenyo does carry more threat and plays at home...

[@wasifshahzad5001]

my team gk: raya, fabianski def: konsa, mazraui, taa, greaves, robinson mid: palmer, saka, mbuemo, mcneil, rogers fwd: haaland, havertz, chiwome 1 free transfer. what to do? also what's the best starting xi?

[@speardrops]

@@wasifshahzad5001 maz to Lewis or Milenko, bench Konsa and Greaves

[@wasifshahzad5001]

@@speardrops which one do you prefer over lewis and milenkovic?

[@speardrops]

@wasifshahzad5001 Lewis. Milenko long term, though

[@cherineka7372]

Thanks for the great content as always! Thoughts on Watkins/Diaz to Solanke/Johnson for free transfers? Cheers

[@speardrops]

@@cherineka7372 they look good it's just whether it's worth using the FTs. I think so.

[@andre1689]

Happy thanksgiving! 🦃

[@speardrops]

@@andre1689 you too, Andre! Winter is coming.

[@soothedream]

how about the fullham defender robinson

[@speardrops]

@soothedream he's a good shout, dodgy fixture this week so only for WC.

[@MsMonkey12345678]

Which rotation do you prefer on WC (other defenders TAA, Lewis, VDB): Milenkovic + Pau or Davis + Ait Nouri xCS vs xGI!

[@YELY-w3j]

1st Pau Torres can pop up with something got the assist against Bayern

[@speardrops]

@MsMonkey12345678 Milenko and RAN. I'd downgrade TAA to a 4.5 for now. Not a fan of Torres.

[@petergaskin9542]

Would you do Jackson to solanke this week or saka to son? Or both for a-4

[@speardrops]

I'd be tempted by the Jackson move. No to the Saka one unless we get injury news.

[@chrisrichards1450]

I’m going to do Jackson to solanke, I think hes going to sell over the next 5 games

[@speardrops]

@@chrisrichards1450 I think it's a smart move, personally.

[@bambooape1]

Getting palmer next gw, and this I might sell diaz for foden. But can he start getting points again?

[@speardrops]

@bambooape1 I just tweeted about Foden: 1 goal 1 assist in over 1000 minutes since June! He has the fixtures, though.

[@Irishpitterrier]

Would you roll this team to 4 transfers Spear Raya Trent Gabriel Milenkovic Greaves Lewis Saka Rodgers Mbeumo Diaz Semenyo Ndiaye Solanke Halland I was planning on Semenyo to Dibs and Diaz to Foden but that's not looking like a good move I might wait a week sell Trent and upgrade Diaz to Palmer and maybe ship Ndiaye on too what ya think pal need help?

[@YELY-w3j]

I’m holding Ndaiye personally

[@Irishpitterrier]

@@YELY-w3j ya I have him starting too benching Semenyo 👍 plan to hold Ndiaye week or 2 hopefully get a return and then try find 💰 to move to Cunha

[@speardrops]

@@Irishpitterrier I'm also considering the 4FT roll! I wouldn't waste it on Dibling and try stretch to Traore or someone similar in coming weeks unless you never want to play Dibs bar this week. I'd probably just do Diaz to Johnson.

[@Irishpitterrier]

@@speardrops ya Spear might just roll risk starting Diaz and build up the transfers! I think it will be beneficial come gw 10-12 play the patient game as in the past we were forced to use the transfer

[@oliverhorn623]

Thoughts on robbo to a 4.5 and semenyo to Johnson?

[@speardrops]

@@oliverhorn623 easy double that, yes.

[@mttph]

What are you thoughts on Justin? Lei have decent fixtures and he seems to carry a lot of threat - worth a cheap punt?

[@speardrops]

@mttph no chance, two fluke goals and Leicester have a horrible defense. Much prefer getting to Milenkovic or Lewis. I don't like Faes either and that's from someone who owned him for his goal!

[@mttph]

@@speardrops got ya, appreciate the advice. Reckon I’ll keep clear of him then

[@speardrops]

@mttph yeah mate, lots of options to be had in that bracket, I'd avoid the relegation fodder. Ait Nouri looks great in 2 weeks too

[@mttph]

@@speardrops yea he was on my list but liked the look of Lei fixtures. Current plan is Salah, Joao Pedro and Robertson out Haaland, McNeil and a cheap defender in. Then Saka to Palmer GW9

[@lucasglanville2880]

No mention of Cunha?!

[@speardrops]

@lucasglanville2880 he plays Manchester City then Brighton away. Fine for WC if you bench him for 2.

[@Araujoooooo]

@@speardrops brighton defence is still poor though right? They have some of their best players out

[@speardrops]

@Araujoooooo it's Man City this week though, Brighton next. Good stats for Brighton despite their dodgy style against Chelsea and Spurs (tough teams to defend against). Wait another 2 for him unless WC, pointless now otherwise.

[@wasifshahzad5001]

will you have deadline stream this gw?

[@speardrops]

I'll post on the community tab / pin a comment if I do this week. Unlikely as it's 4am deadline here, we'll see!

[@cyrilmukeya1991]

Salah's poor form? He's blanked once in his last 6 games all competitions lol. 4 double digits in 7gw as well.

[@speardrops]

@cyrilmukeya1991 his performances haven't looked like the Salah of old and points are shared across their front line, same with minutes.

[@davidward9089]

Already played my WC but thinking to play my Free Hit this week - I’ve got Mazraoui, Mosquera (both longer injuries) Greaves & Verbruggen who I want to get rid of. Gonna pick up VDB, Milenkovic, Pedro Porro & Johnson as you suggested. Any recommendations on which goalkeeper to go for this week? Have $5M budget

[@speardrops]

@davidward9089 I wouldn't bother with FH as your injuries are long term. Milenkovic, Lewis and Johnson all look great for those.

[@speardrops]

GK Sels or Pickford.

[@samwilliams4244]

Another beautiful video with everything I need. If I was stranded on a desert island and only allowed one fpl podcast to listen to each week. It would be yours ❤ Question though! Would love your help with this : last gw I brought in kulu over Johnson as im a spurs supporter and enjoy seeing kulu play even though Johnson obvious pick . This week I need to get son in. Two possible routes Trent > Andersen/Harwood bellis Kulu > son 2 Ft Or Trent > bellis Semenyo > son Sugawsra > mykolenko/Hall -4 What do you think? Do I accept the L on the kulu pick. Or do I keep the faith for a few gws? I'm edging more to the -4 plan as I hate to waste a transfer. But if you think that I should just bite the bullet and keep him in them I will!

[@samwilliams4244]

I mean bite the bullet and get rid of him

[@davidward9089]

@@speardrops thanks mate - The context around playing my Free Hit is I only have one free transfer this week so my logic was to bank it this week, make those temporary changes and then reassess things next week when I’ll have 2 free transfers
