WILL DIAZ START? ⚠️ | FPL GAMEWEEK 7 FINAL DEADLINE DECISIONS | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2024/25

[@mohanish]

lets jump intooooo it Boss!

[@NelsonKavekenda]

Rogers behind Watkins and Duran is the scariest movie I am about to watch 😳 feel sorry for Ten Haag cause I believe it’s the game that will cost him his job, anyway I own Rogers and Watkins now I am tempted to buy Duran after watching this but my other 2 strikers are Haaland and Harvetz

[@giggsidan]

I like the Cunha pick. I'm tempted myself but don't have room for luxury transfers at the moment and I'm not wildcarding until GW12.

[@derekriley5177]

I’ve had Smith-Rowe most of the season and he’s done me quite well. Doesn’t get a mention much but does seem to be nailed on and I thought he was worth the bit extra from Rogers. Maybe I’m wrong with that thinking…other than this week he’s got some decent fixtures coming up.

[@NelsonKavekenda]

If you have players producing the same returns than go for the cheaper option cause the fund you freed will help you down the line

[@schzam2604]

Great video as always, you've seen my team and this helped with me making some changes, thanks for all you do for us Ross, top man and streamer

[@xBUZZYB3ARx]

Cheap defender I think you should go for would be micky van de ven. They have some nice fixtures ahead. Goal threat and playing well.

[@BenSmith-b6u]

Thanks for the section on who to captain this weekend. I'd put the armband on Havertz and you've convinced me more. Won't hold it against you if backfires! 😉

[@HectorRodriguez-et7pu]

Great Vid mate. Debating a lot between Rogers and DCL. Think the penalties just edge for me. It is definitely a 50/50 call all the way.

[@NelsonKavekenda]

I understand the transfer of Cunha but I will look to go for Strand-Larsen cause Cunha is playing as a 10 , so Starnd-Larsen will benefit from Cunha creativity at cheaper price too

[@sajjad1ssa467]

My opinion as a liverpool fan is that gakpo and jota will start, diaz has looked off in the last 2 games and gakpos form really means he should start

[@AdamMusic944]

Please no 😂

[@graziano1688]

Diaz was amazing in Champions League. Gakpo is just a weaker player. This might be enough for Crystal Palace however.

[@RLX5201]

That’d be really brutal to Diaz after how excellent his start to the season was. Gakpo to be fair is a phenomenal player but other than rotation to minimise tiredness/injury risk, I can’t see much of a reason to bench Diaz

[@mikeb3509]

Mans obviously a fellow Dutchman...😂

[@alan-l7h]

lol never trust a Dutchman

[@AyanahInteriors]

Ross, we are both position 2,856,123 in the world! In spite of only having played 6 matches, that still seems like pretty unlikely odds to me. Team: Aww_Shoit_Not_Again on 371 points

[@seanhorgan5380]

Plan is to roll this week and just bank 3 free transfers. Palmer, Johnson and Solanke are definitely on the rader. But not rushing anything and regretting the moves. Happy to have Saka and Haverts for GW 7 + 8

[@duartelopes4044]

Another banger Ross! Would you go trent + smenyo or leif davis + mbeumo?

[@TehTomics]

The latter - Semenyos fixtures are difficult until GW11 after next week, and Liverpool have strong attacking opposition for a few weeks so while TAA may get attacking returns or CS's he may also get some 2 pointers. Fixtures say Davis and Mbeumo.

[@dalehas2]

Don’t have Calvert Lewin, but my preferences would be Semenyo - Rogers - Wood in that order. Good fixtures for Bournemouth & Villa this week 🌟

[@aron4795]

Not Mavididi or McNeil?

[@Bossuno04]

Hey Raptor. Which is better -4? Salah, JP ➡️ Saka, solanke OR salah, Eze ➡️ palmer, brenan Johnson

Is Gordon not a viable Diaz replacement, I know Isak is injured, but with Everton and Brighton next two fixtures, I do believe he is being overlooked (especially if Isak and Wilson are back after the international break)

[@FPLRaptor]

I talk about about Gordon in that section mate :)

[@Maddy-kb2co]

Barnes for me over Gordon on current form

[@James-xm3ex]

Brother with Wilson and isak out Gordon’s on pens idk if he becomes worse

[@claytonsmit4474]

Captaining Solanke over Palmer and Saka this week, 7 big chances in the last 2 weeks, on pens without Son, and Brighton playing without key defenders

[@FPL-Tony]

I would totally go for Palmer over Foden. That defense and Cunha in the other hand seems a bit too risky to me, but I sincerely wish you good luck with that choice.

[@ljlove8550]

Would you do Smith Rowe to Mcneil on a free this week??

[@JoshC_mufc]

If you're willing to go with McNeil long term then it will probably be worth it yes

[@robo96]

@@tyler1130 Rogers is good enough to play every week - next year he will be a 7m midfielder so don’t overthink playing him. Delap is going on a nice fixture run and is well worth the transfer.

[@heidiosullivan2862]

I love the stuff Ross thankyou for all the content, single handedly carrying my team to a 3 million rank😅❤ a quick question if you don't mind, would you sell Salah to Palmer this week and the Pedro up to Solanke next week, i have 1 free transfer Advice would be really appreciated, thanks mate

I also have Salah & I’m not sure what to do. Do I keep Mo for tomorrow’s game & then decide or bring in either Palmer or Saka. Undecided…..

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Ross.

[@grahammiller7320]

I have my wild card playing this week because Bruno Fernandes was sent off and had to make changes before price changes... question is, would you take out Solanke and Johnston for Haverts and Semenyo for this week and go back to first option next game!

[@NelsonKavekenda]

No cause it’s seems like same option so you will end up wasting 2 free transfers, Johnson is on form and the movements of Solanke around the penalty area is improving a lot so keep the faith

Whether Man United have been poor or not, Villa Park is a second home for them and I think we (as a Villa fan) have only beaten United at home once in the league since 1995 (when Hansen said “you don’t win anything with kids”) and only 3 times in the PL at all. Call it superstition but I can see a 2-1 to United making me want to swerve Rogers this week in a similar way I don’t captain Salah in an early KO!

[@oversettim]

Instead of shots in the box, or as well as, could you add shot conversion rate?

[@junweilim95]

Great insights into captaincy! But the wildcard draft feels weak, with too many players from the bottom 6 of the table… 4 out of 13 outfield players from Wolves, Ipswich and Soton just to put things into perspective! Would rather downgrade Cunha to Raul Jimenez and upgrade Dibling 🤷‍♂️

[@kb2two]
