FPL Claret (Matt)

Can’t wait to dive in Trout. Do you have the discord link?

Great stuff. Yeah those numbers look decent for top teams, as you say it’s how they translate to PL

From last season. You’d know better than me how these stats would compare but numbers seem pretty big to me - and we will have a lot less possession this year

Yeah totally different style under Kompany. Will try to have a look for Champ stats

How would you estimate Watkins pen share to start? Seems quite tricky. 40-60%?

Brilliant video, so excited for launch. @jonnyc.bsky.social one question, you mentioned Burnley’s style was not suited to accumulating CBIT, wondered why? I have expectation of us being very defensive and according to friends who played Efl fantasy last season, Esteve accumulated a lot of Defcon

Massive defensive posvar and non-functioning attack for first third of the season, you’re right. Always felt there was a gulf between us and the likes of Boro though just with strength and depth of squad, amount of money spent etc

Been interesting following the Champ odds this season. Bookies extremely bullish on Leeds throughout and bearish on Burnley. Think Burnley have been underrated but Leeds’ underlying data has been incredible I think?

Yeah those two to Raul Son seems good

I’ve been locking Raul due to possible DGW25 but maybe that’s silly. I guess I can just buy back?

GW16: 290k -> 415k

Tough week. Both players I sold (Porro, Mbeumo) returned, both I bought (Trent, Semenyo) blanked.

Other line I considered was Hall and Isak in and that would have been +25 points. Would have had to go early on that and Pope injury put me off. Roll, roll, WC is the plan

Great team. How much EV are those moves making in next 3?

GW15: 83pts, 770k-322k

Great gameweek and excellent progress from 3.5m in GW9.

3FT and nothing obvious to do before WC19. Porro, Mbeumo to Trent, Semenyo is a possibility this week. If I can find a double move that nets +3EV over the next three weeks I'm inclined to take it

Do you think the PL can/will wait until after the CC semi final second legs to decide on the fixture move?

I’m feeling like WCing with 5FT is not ideal but maybe it’s fine - guess you just use one spot on WC as a one-week punt.

GW15, rolling up to 3FT.

With WC, TC in hand, a deep squad and only Mo, feels like the postponement was a stroke of luck for me.

As it stands, Porro to Trent funded by selling Mbeumo or Solanke is my most likely, and only, move before WC19. Rooting for some more chaos though…

GL all

Yeah roll. 1FT?

How many FT are you on atm? How many are you looking to ideally land in WC19 week with?

65 points, 760k-770k.

A second tiny red in a row. EV was very strong vs the field this week but didn’t quite translate into points but squad looks strong.

Plan is to roll both FTs this week. On track for 5FTs in GW18 before WC19 so looking to use at least one fairly soon.

Not quite locked but boarding a flight soon.

Porro/Konsa and JP/Rogers very tight benching dilemmas - you guys agree with how I have it?

1/2 FTs: Bruno->Saka

GW13: 71pts. 745k-760k

Reasonable consolidation week after three big greens in a row.

Plan remains Bruno to Saka but will have to keep an eye on Solanke fitness/health. Presume he will be fine.

After next week, looking forward to starting rolling towards WC19 hopefully

Big thanks to Instinctive for the excellent analysis of Dunk mins, helped me decide to bench him and start Jiminez. Tiny decision but these things add up over the season. Over to you Raul…

Late team post as was on a Caribbean beach. Extremely early transfer DCL->JP and rolled the other one. 750k

Plan for next week is to get Saka/Son for Bruno/Mbeumo

GL, HF

Was Dunk over Porro in the XI obv so serious jam. Had I had a fourth FT I would definitely have brought in another defender but wanted to roll one. Fortunate outcome!

GW12: 1.1m -> 746k

Third good GW in a row. Hoping to keep it going as I work towards dead ending into a WC19

Sorry to miss this, was preparing for a trip abroad. Would love to make it next time

…worked out incredibly fortunately as it meant I got Porro off the bench.

Planning to do my earliest ever transfer tonight, DCL to JP, and then hopefully roll.

Peace x

Very late team post. Didn’t do them on X but planning to start on Bluesky.

I did Son -> Palmer
TAA -> Timber
And rolled the third FT.

Was very close to selling Konsa as well but didn’t want to be left with 1FT and an effectively forced DCL -> JP next week…

DCL?

or to sell Porro and upgrade Mbeumo to Saka, keeping Bruno. Plenty of time before deadline but those are my current thoughts!
