Zophar's Gameweek 18 Team Selection | The FPL Wire | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2024/25

[@varunpandey1845]

Congrats on reaching 35k before Christmas !!

[@michaelrowell7798]

Congratulations on reaching 35k dubs boys, always an excellent pod and your own team selection vids are great too.

[@Keith-l7i]

Merry Christmas everyone.

[@trakiets]

Congrats on reaching the milestone, guys! Totally deserved given the quality of the discussions and content. On your transfer dilemma - bring in the player who you are more confortable with for the long term and wait and see on the other one. Based on the video, it seems like you want to get Sarr next week anyway, so why don't you jump on him now?

[@FPL_Frost]

Merry xmas Zoph!

[@sandeepmalhotra8323]

Merry Christmas everyone! Finally found the picture for Thumbnail where Foden is celebrating this season? Haha

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

It's from last year lol

[@JFlem202]

Absolutely delighted that you guys reached 35k before Christmas! I’ve been playing for a number of years and have a lot of great finishes under my belt - and your pod is always the quintessential FPL video for me each week. Happy Holidays 👍

[@mrinalmadina9064]

Merry Christmas! Foden has to prove he is back to 23/24 form before he gets in surely for 9m. Better ways to spend the cash. Not many content creators talking up Martinelli. Is a good differential at that price too…are you tempted?

[@DheerajDhee13]

Good eBening! 🎉 Merry xMas 🎄

1:25 😂😂 Collins & Zophar playing CB for Brentford…

[@bdon2431]

merry christmas gentlemen

[@speardrops]

Good luck mate. I might go boring with Fernandes too, Diaz is so tempting.

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

At this point im leaning towards sarr more. If i like what I see of foden, I'll get him in for leicester

[@speardrops]

@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague Foden feels lower risk on mins vs Diaz and Szobo but he's just been so poor since the start of the euros.and Everton look good. If only Sarr had a good fixture this week it'd be the easiest transfer in a while.

[@saubarnaduttachowdhury7142]

Thanks Zoph, Merry Christmas to you too. I also have similar dilemma like you. What are your thoughts on Saka to Amad instead of Bruno? I was thinking that route myself, gives flexibility in cash and also can take Bruno later for Mbeumo if needed later. Also, I have a question on my team and would really appreciate your help : Should I do Strand Larsen to Jesus/Jackson or Lewis to TAA? (have 2 ft, 1 itb. 1 ft will be used on Saka replacement. ) (Rest of the team : Fabianski, Timber Gabriel Lewis, Salah (C) Palmer Saka replacement Mbeumo, Isak, Pedro, Strand Larsen. Bench - Flekken Rogers Castagne Greaves)

[@sevanabkarian7067]

Zoph what are your plans with the goalkeeper’s? Who would you go to to replace flekken?

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

I don't think I have a transfer spare anytime soon to fix it

[@KunAndersan]

It’s not a terrible entry point with Sarr. BOU has 65 chances conceded on that flank. Center = 53 Left flank = 50

[@aurom007]

I have done the Bruno move myself but just doesn't feel like an aggressive move. Also, what are your thoughts on adding Munoz to a Trent, Gabriel, Timber defense next week?

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

Me of last year would have done the Bruno move already but sitting at 1.3m it just doesn't seem the high ceiling play

[@aurom007]

@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague maybe it's going for the Palace guys next week?

[@aesthetics9880]

I have Rogers/salah/enzo and Palmer. Who could be my best saka replacement. I want to choose between Martenelli, sarr and ordegard. Or just roll over.

[@Deen9909]

Foden is fun. Get him in

[@kirinyamada830]

Interesting. Let us know which route you choose before deadline Zoph

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

I think it'll be the Bruno route, I can still do sarr for semenyo and munoz for robinson the week after

[@kirinyamada830]

@ nice planned moves. But munoz for greaves you mean Zoph? Surely not for robinson

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

​@@kirinyamada830 Yes for Greaves

[@tomramsden9382]

Would you take a -4 for Lewis to TAA?

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

Tough one since lewis has a good fixture. But trents ceiling in a game like this is massive and he's good long term. I'd do it

[@tomramsden9382]

@@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeaguethanks

[@shayanbhattacharjee5357]

Every week I am almost matching your points without Isak but still getting red arrows 😒 Isak is essential!

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

With saka out, even more so. He's the third best attacker in the game

[@jeevanm388]

Martinelli or Odegaard are completely out of picture?

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

Odegaard I've never been big on, martinelli is interesting but it can easily be trossard havertz jesus next game if he has a stinker

[@seanhorgan5380]

Merry Christmas everybody. Congratulations on hitting 35k guys. Should be another zero on the amount of subscribers for me. But no doubt these numbers will continue to rise.

[@Keyboardmaestro13]

Zoph don't fall for the Foden temptation I had him for a while total disappointment,stay away from the City unless you started seeing free flow goals.. wise choice is Sarr :-)

[@mridulshandilya5687]

Something that not many people are talking about- Just bench Saka, play your 1st sub and save the transfer. For Zoph, it means playing Semenyo. This helps with one more Gameweek of data. It is possible that a clear pick emerges.

[@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague]

Playing strand larsen not semenyo

[@mridulshandilya5687]

@@TheFPLWireFantasyPremierLeague My bad. Thanks for correcting. The overall point still remains same. To think of playing the 1st sub and get one more gameweek of data to take a more informed decision.
