SELL GABRIEL? 🤔 | EARLY TEAM THOUGHTS | GAMEWEEK 16 | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2024/25

[@andrewdiamond6964]

The money freed up by cashing in on the Haaland value is a hell of a drug!

[@1mpishskillz]

For real...🙂 Gave him the Palace game and then ousted him out to get Joao Pedro, Kerkez and Palmer, i won't be contemplating getting him back in until I wildcard again next year depending on if he and City improve.

[@andrewdiamond6964]

@1mpishskillz 👏👏👏

[@Vurawn410]

As a Chelsea fan, on Enzo: I think he’s definitely nailed. Caicedo and Lavia play similar roles but neither can do the job Enzo is doing at the moment playing as more of a 10 alongside Palmer. His underlying data is misleading because most of it is taken from when he was playing deeper - his recent xGI is much better. He’s a ridiculously low price and our fixtures are great for a long time. I really regret not getting him instead of Semenyo a couple of weeks back.

[@jusatin]

Gotta love doing Isak -> Delap + Mbeumo -> Saka before GW14. Down 23 points in two weeks lol.

[@GlynnParry-bs6xg]

Honestly, what were City thinking selling Alvarez. Haaland has to play every game. Salah and Palmer exceed Haalands output with the new bp system.

[@zzgrom]

The player demanded to leave.

[@muhammadesa2517]

Pretty sure Alvarez wanted to go

[@andraskurucz839]

The problem isn't selling him. He wanted to leave. The problem is the not bringing in a backup striker. There are plenty of quality backup strikers that would gladly sign for city.

[@GlynnParry-bs6xg]

Yeah, my point was they didn't replace Alvarez. Hence Haaland has to play every game.

[@andraskurucz839]

@@GlynnParry-bs6xg I know, understood and it's a valid and good point. Just wanted to be clear on the problematic part. Dunno whether Pep was arrogant or they didn't let him spend some more.

[@Logicsupersedes]

As a chelsea fan Enzo is nailed in the league

[@hm10.]

Not so sure Lavia and caicedo is clearly marescas first choice Enzo been playing cuz maresca is using caicedo as a fb

[@Logicsupersedes]

@hm10. Not at all true. Caicedo has played there twice. Enzo has started the last 4 games

[@varadayurved2849]

TC Salah on now in Liv double 🎉

[@joseph70798]

Haaland, mbeumo, collins -> Isak, Saka, Trent done for a -4

[@ThatIndianFPLGuy]

This looks really good 🔥🔥

[@bassembadry9761]

I admire the comeback Andy, well done.

[@azaro12]

Probably going to sell Mbeumo to get to TAA, do you think Enzo is a better pick then Semenyo? Much cheaper...

[@ChrisDaMaddog]

Re: Haaland "Let's be real. The swing of points for those of us that have sold him versus those that didn't has been absolutely ridiculous. We got very lucky with that move, and I'm not trying to say that it was a bad move with a very lucky outcome. I think it was a good move with good reasons to do it. The amount of points have been absolutely insane." A real example. Andy was in despair about being down around 2M in the overall ranking around GW10, I was sitting at 388K. He dumped Haaland that week, and I held him. Ive had severe Reds ever since to where I'm sitting at 2.9M and Andy I believe is inside the top 1M. I finally made the jump this past weekend, swapped Haaland, Mbeumo and Van De Berg for Cunha, Salah and TAA for a -4. Andy has 90+ pts this week, I'm sitting on 38 with Cunha to go Fantasy Football Hub rated my team 97% ahead of this weekend too haha

[@ImThatGuy9000]

Counter example, I sold haaland for palmer and Salah like 6 game weeks ago, I triple captained Salah when he got 2 goals, I think that decision has made me 100 points at least

[@mohammedammar5439]

Well Everton vs Liverpool got cancelled so that was just unlucky

[@jackrichards1932]

Is bench boost a good idea for me this week? my team is: Raya (EVE H), Timber (EVE H), Gomez (FUL H), Estupinan (CRY H), Salah (FUL H), Saka EVE H), Palmer (BRE H), Bowen (BOU A), Cunha (IPS H), Jackson (BRE H) and João Pedro (CRY H). Bench: Forster (SOU A), Rogers (NFO A), Ait Nouri (IPS H), Colwill (BRE H). Hard to decide which defenders) to play if not 😵‍💫

[@edwinmadzinga1457]

Enzo is nailed. Lavia is the one to not play every single game. Maresca said he can't play 2 games in a week.

[@Slimjim-vt2my]

Enzo is not nailed, maresca already said he can’t cope physically in the physical games that’s why caicedo and lavia are used

[@haydenacott7962]

I don’t have saka, he is one that I am saka-rificing

[@vl6619]

Would be nice if we could somehow cover him with ødegaard/havertz, shame Martinelli and Trossard aren’t nailed

[@FPLHaveABeer]

It's no saka-rifice, just a simple word, it's two hearts living, in two separate worlds.

[@abdirahman_isse]

If u picked this team at the start of the season and never change it: GK: Onana(5m). DF: Vandijk(6m), Aina(4.5m), Munoz(4.5). MF: Salah©️(12.5m), Palmer(10.5m), Saka(10m), Mbuemo(7m), Iwobi(5.5m). FW: Cunha(6.5m), Wissa(6m), Wood(6m). With a bench of 4m, 4m, 4.5m, 4.5m; U couldve led the world by 100 points😅 with a total of 1200 points😳.

[@radogeorgiev5732]

Enzo Fernandez is a lock in the Premier League in his new role. He is also our on pitch captain and we need him in our transition play

[@christerhalsynormann8787]

I’m one of the stubborn Haaland owners. I’ve dropped from 160k to 1.8mill in like 7 weeks. At this point I’m just having some fun, captaining Haaland until he gets a brace or a hattrick. At least that game week will be fun for me 😅

[@cameronccfffcc4226]

Hall a minutes risk with Trippier back and Livramento to left back late on last game?

[@ryanmorgan8252]

As a 4th playing midfielder spot, Mbuemo and Amad yo-yo perfectly until GW 28 if we want to focus our transfers on defenders, keepers and strikers ahead of the Liverpool double announcement

[@mariolemina2110]

Honestly, because Chelsea fixtures are so good I'm not tripling on Chelsea because their players can get rested any of those games look at jackson and Sanchez both got rested in the same game week. Palmer is the safest option.

[@c.mateusvarela]

Should i go for Amad and Jackson or Enzo and Isak?

[@ChizoSFHC]

Proper benching headaches for me this week: play Ait-Nouri or Hall? And Mbuemo or Semenyo?

[@chrisgray1507]

Would you go for Enzo if it allowed to get an extra Arsenal defender?

[@rbstickymicky66]

Deffo enzo is like a Morgan rogers or ESR now so he’s a good pick that can sit on the bench if needs be

[@joemic2774]

who will you play, Enzo or Pedro

[@Slimjim-vt2my]

Hello, you mentioned about swapping Bruno for Roger’s but worried if he gets a yellow vs Brighton and missed Leicester. Well Brighton would be the 19th game so it goes up to 10 cards by this point, so no need to be worried🙌🏻

[@AbdulTayyeb21]

Halo Andy , If I only can Choose two player Who is the best player to play Beetween Wood , Fernandes, and Semenyo in Gameweek 16?

[@ELITE_MINDSETS]

Is it time we start considering AFCON and players that will be unavailable.

[@OceanLoader]

Was always captaining Palmer so postponement of Liverpool match prob cost me. That and Saka blanking, Gabriel missing and bringing in wasters like Semenyo and Joao Pedro, who has yet to anything for me this season 😡

[@nickeatwell2316]

If you don’t have haaland but you still want to try and get in on city’s decent fixture run, what player and what position do you target ?

You don’t probably 😆

[@rbstickymicky66]

I have haaland salah and palmer should I stick with haaland I do above the average every gameweek still my defense is cheap tho and don’t get much from them

[@JoaninhoTomas]

i wildcarded for next gw and got haaland joao pedro, palmer, saka, salah, rodgers. think i got a good wildcard

[@abdulazizalajmi1754]

Guys I have Jackson and cunha should I sell one of them and get Isak?

[@rik3791]

Already regret selling Wood , thinking of getting Isak for a hit !! Really torn to do so but if Gabriel is out will do that

[@OceanLoader]

@rik3791 got Isak, Wood & Pedro and it is the latter who is doing my head in. Returns always stop the instant I buy him. I've had very little joy betting against the newly promoted sides so I'd think twice about the hit. Who you replacing?

[@rik3791]

@OceanLoader Thinking of replacing Cunha , but can do only with a hit !! Cunha has been really disappointing for the past 2 games

[@OceanLoader]

@@rik3791as Andy says, little point taking him out now with Ipswich at home next. Look at Raul - 1 assist in 5 weeks, then 8 pts against Arsenal.

[@Sujaygavankar]

Gabriel being out and not getting saliba coz of that.. 20+ points dropped.. plus this horrible GW(saved by palmer) questioning owning gabriel and timber..

Timber and Isak in , Gabriel and Cunha out ,worth a hit ?

[@liverpoolFCMon]

Anyone reckon Nkunku will threaten Jacksons starting spot ? Jackson looked like he was almost crying coming off yesterday

[@qaimlashari786]

I have haaland and have survived with my differentials. Sitting around 500K since GW-8. I have hold him so long let’s bring it on. If he fails to do so in next 2GW then I will go for PALMER .

[@warrenbrooks1881]

i can’t wait for the next wildcard im able to have haaland salah palmer and saka with a team of players who start every week

[@knavel1]

I have those four players and I still lose in my league because I can only have two forwards, one of which being Joao Pedro, and crappy defence.

[@veselinovic.p]

Trent/Gabriel/Timber or Gabriel/Gvardiol/Van Dijk?

[@yiftachelbab2103]

Best replacement for dalot? No money ITB so i cant get any arsenal defender Ive been thinking about munoz/estupinian/colwill

[@NathanMellows-uj8mp]

Kerkez could be a nice option & would leave you with some money in the bank.

[@yiftachelbab2103]

His fixtures are trickier than they seem, both united and west ham are hungry for winning and they arent a bad attack at all

Is Timber nailed when Gabriel is back?

[@zacharyng-wm4vu]

honestly people having reliance on Liverpool players like salah or virgil killed them, even me!🤣

[@natdaone5075]

Having Saka and Double Arsenal defence (Gabriel/Saliba and Timber) feels very rewarding despite the huge risk.

[@RichardDD999]

We underestimate the luck involved here. I kept Gabriel instead of switching to Sailba as I didn't want to "waste" a transfer . That has cost 30 points in two weeks. So that single decision is the difference of about 300k-400k rank positions and has had a huge impact. Could attribute that to skill, but it is absurdly large swing on a single decision

[@brianofoz]

Chelsea have such a good short term draw that Enzo is too tempting for me to resist.

[@gegigoshkheteliani4173]

Enzo will most likely start every game against easier teams and be risk for benching against tougher teams.

[@craizzyblue]

Gabriel usually scores on his 1st game post an injury

[@ahmedelias5064]

You still rate colwill even tho he got benched last gw?

[@Vurawn410]

That was just a rest. Outside of that, he will play every game for us.

[@max.8063]

Loads of em got bench… it was Southampton. And I’m saying that as a saints fan 😂. Were awful

[@JakeSteffan]

If Gabriel doesn’t start midweek but is on the bench, will that make you inclined to keep him still for this weekend ?

Is it a good time to jump off Ait-Nouri?

[@LouisS_05]

I’d wait for the fixtures to turn personally

[@DineshwaraSanassee]

As someone who still owns Haaland, at this point I’m just stubbornly holding him and hoping for some good luck. My season has gone down the drain while holding him, so I’m just riding it out.

Not by xGC they don’t, at least I don’t think so. Still decent enough though.

[@Jaxxx365]

@ yea and I get the whole stats thing but end of the day 15 games in only arsenal and Liverpool have conceded less. And no one is keeping clean sheets really but that’s pretty solid for how the media talks about the defence

[@Jeevzz]

Gambled on savio few weeks back - absolutely gash. Wouldn't recommend

[@RossP17]

I see where you’re coming from but Man City as a whole have been awful since the end of October, I’m waiting to see if they improve before even considering Savio. 0.64xgi is really good especially when Man City have been this bad. Man City have 5 games they should win comfortably after Christmas and Savio could be a shoe In to the Man City attack for it (unless Foden, Kdb, Grealish, Doku, Silva all hit form)

[@kevinmelia1880]

Shocker of a gw for me until Palmer haul, Andy. Could do with Bowen and Fabianski points tonight. Well done on your gw, great score. I'm giving Gabriel a little more time.

@@atharva2982 I have the same four guys and the other players are people like Joao Pedro (as I rushed him in at 5.4). A forward who never plays. Mediocre defence, Guehi, Dunk, people like that. I also had Son and Mbeumo for a while. Son I traded for Saka, Mbeumo I've traded for two midfielders. at the 5m range and hope they deliver--then of course he finally scored this weekend. There is no bench so to speak except Fabianski and a 4m defender for a crappy team who always concedes points so he returns zero. So when you have the "Four-mium" you play the same players every week by and large save one of the junk defenders

@@atharva2982 I've got Verbruggen in goal, at the back got Colwill,Gomez,Kerkez,Lewis and Faes, other mids are Semeyo and Enzo and up top I've got Pedro and Strand Larsen, think you need a full squad to get through the Christmas period and most of them are nailed and play 90mins, my thinking is this season play 3 at the back as there's not as many clean sheets as in previous years and at some point Haaland will be Haaland and everyone will scrambling to get him in and ripping up their teams to do so.

@@knavel1 maybe go for Enzo 4,9m, he will go up in price in the next couple of days then use the extra funds in defence, Colwill is a steal 4.5m with their fixtures coming up, also the youngster at Bournmouth is worth a punt Huijsen 4.3m, definitely keep Dunk with his fixtures, you could also downgrade your 5th defender to a playing 4m to add more funds for your defense, best of luck.
