Fantasy premier league team tips GW10 – FFGeek contributors show their GW10 teams part 2
Here’s part 2 of the FPL managers who contribute to the FFGeek site with good histories who show their teams each week. This will give people a feel for what other managers are doing. It’s a fairly informal thing with no obligation on anyone and these teams may change at anytime before the deadline without further notice. It also wont cover early transfers. It’s just to give an idea of the trends for the week no more.
You can see the link to the part 1 contributors article here.
Robert Cosgrove
Robert finished with an OR of 20k last season and 23k in 16/17
GW9 points: 37 (average 43) Total points 570, Gameweek rank 4,156k, Overall Rank: 52k, red arrow 14k, Team Value: £102.8m
So last week was pretty much a disaster, the first week of the season that I have finished below average! Looking across the other teams in my leagues it was a below par performance all round so I am not too disheartened.
I have decided to plan transfers for the next few gameweeks. My thoughts look like this:
GW10 – TAA > Robertson, Walcott > Murphy
(Bench: Murphy, Wan-Bissaka, Schelotto)
GW11 – Schelotto > Digne
(Bench: Wilson, Doherty, Wan-Bissaka)
GW12 – NO TRANSFER
(Bench: Kenedy/Wilson, Doherty, Digne)
GW13 – reassess transfer options.
(Bench: Murphy, Kenedy/Wilson, Wan-Bissaka)
I know I am taking a punt on Josh Murphy of Cardiff but he seems to be the only 1 trying in the Cardiff team and their fixtures look worthy of this punt, it also allows me to upgrade TAA to Robertson this week and non-playing Schelotto to Digne next week as Everton have some nice home games coming up. I have lost patience with Walcott but still wanted Everton cover. Murphy maybe injured this week but nothing serious.
So to summarise, this week I am taking TAA out for Robertson and Walcott out for Josh Murphy. Salah will be my captain.
I am also sweating on the fitness of Hazard!!!
Costas Chari
Costas finished with an OR of 29k last season and 27k in 16/17
GW9 points: 44 -4 (average 43) Total points 562, Gameweek rank 2,689k, Overall Rank: 77k, red arrow 9k, Team Value: £102.7m
A lot of question marks this week about a lot of players which is the main reason holding me back from playing my wildcard.
My team is as it stands with no changes and the rested Aguero as captain.
Still think of swapping Trippier for Robertson and captaining Mitrovic though.
Sergio Torija
Sergio finished with an OR of 17k last season and 21k in 16/17
GW9 points: 47 (average 43) Total points 520, Gameweek rank 2,041k, Overall Rank: 382k, green arrow 57k, Team Value: £101.8m
Survival week in GW9 with 47 points slightly over the average and small green arrow. I got away with not having Aguero last week as the most backed captain. Salah did the job for me. City and Liverpool defences kept clean sheets, and Mitrovic slightly disappointed but at least got an assist. Knockaert and Gray didn’t start, so they need monitoring.
Maddison in for Walcott this week. For the week coming I am looking at a multiple move or even wildcard.
Good luck for GW10 Geekers !
Scott Hargadon
Scott finished with an OR of 70k and 21k OR in 16/17.
GW9 points: 48 -4 (average 43) Total points 562, Gameweek rank 1,890k, Overall Rank: 76k, green arrow 4k, Team Value: £102.9m
I am happy that in GW9 I bounced back somewhat from the disasters of GWs 6-8. This was a tricky week to decide what to do. Going into GW10 without Salah, who scored both last weekend and in the Champions League this week, seemed like a big risk given that he was leading captains polls and most top teams had him or had set up a Kane to Salah basic swap for this week.
The only way I could get him in was to drop Hazard or Alonso neither of which I viewed as positive. But with Hazard’s injury report this week, I figured it was worth a -4 to get Salah in for at least a trial the next few games given Liverpool’s favorable run of fixtures. So Hazard and Richarlison out, Salah and Billing in. Richarlison was awful last week and looked out of sorts in his new position. Given him playing Man U at Old Trafford, he was the easiest choice to take out.
If Liverpool does well this week I am set up to repeat my early season success with Salah, Mane and Robertson all playing. Given that Mane was the most sold player this week he could prove to be a positive differential. He came back from his thumb surgery to score and have an assist in the midweek Champions League fixture. The biggest headache this week was choosing Patricio or Ryan in goal since they play each other. I decided to go with Ryan at home even though Wolves are a stronger team. I don’t see a lot of goals for either side actually.
Salah is my captain. Hope he fares better than Kane against the Bluebirds!
Keith Spencer
Keith finished with a 3k OR last season, an incredible OR of 325 in 16/17 and 9k in 15/16.
Keith is one of the 10 top FPL managers I follow weekly who’ve finished the last 3 seasons in the top 10k OR.
GW9 points: 44 (average 43) Total points 588, Gameweek rank 2,646k, Overall Rank: 19k, red arrow 1k, Team Value: £102.5m
Sterling and Trippier out for Salah and Doherty. Good luck all
FPL Word
FPL Word finished 35K OR in 17/18. 9k in 16/17, 1k OR in 15/16, 5k OR in 14/15
GW9 points: 67 (average 43) Total points 591, Gameweek rank 138k, Overall Rank: 16k, green arrow 45k, Team Value: £102.3m
Taking a gamble on Schürrle this week. David Silva’s going as City have a tough fixture, I had three of their players and he played in 90 minutes in the Champions League. I’ll most likely wildcard next week, mainly to get Salah, Mendy and Arnie
Robertson (c) as he seems to be the safest option
