What’s on the Pod?
Andrew discusses his season so far and we both discuss how GW8 went. We both discuss our plans for GW9 including transfers, lineup issues and captain choices.
We then answer questions from the FFGeek Slack Channel
The Questions
What do you think the status of Jota is now? Does Firmino’s appearance (and performance) mean he is a must sell immediately or is he likely to still start regularly?
Salah or Lukaku for captain this week? Seems mad to be asking as Lukaku has Norwich, but given the recent form of the two, I’m not so sure.
I (like many listeners) have swapped Rudiger out for Christensen on a wildcard. Do we have any indication on his long term prognosis? Should I swap back to Rudiger this weekend?
Is Antonio still a must-have? With him looking less dominant (at least in terms of FPL points) of late, and the fixtures turning a wee bit, are you tempted to trade down any time soon (for say, Toney in GW11)?
What to do with Doucoure? Straight swap to EVE Gray/Townsend or who else would you recommend? I have £6.0m if i sell Douc. I already have Salah, Foden, Raph, Mbeumo. Thanks!!
Currently fielding a back line of Trent, Cancelo, Azpi, Alonso and Livramento. Is it time to drop Alonso? and if so is it Dias, Chilwell (or someone else). or would you let it ride one more week?
How do you advise having two top teams seemingly playing pep roulette (Chelsea and City)
and follow up, is the new game to chase the next ‘nailed on’ player eg Alonso -> Rudiger -> Azpi -> Chilwell
Is Vardy sneaking right under our noses as a potentially huge band wagon? Already on 7 goals in 8 matches. Last season 15g in 34m.
Antonio has similar FPL points and is £2.5m cheaper so he is better value right?
Just feels like Vardy is trending up whilst Antonio is stalling?
Do Ronaldo’s stats suggest we should sell or is he about to explode?
Is Dias an adequate template replacement player for no Chelsea Def (Azpilicueta/James) in GW9?
