Who are your captain choices?

@@KalChoedan Musiala, Cucurella, Mbappe/CR7, Gakpo/VVD

Ball recs as stated already come from mostly CBs, which I have in this draft. Ball recs for mids have been accounted for really poorly in this tournament, so just have a look at the numbers I will share on the cheatsheet later that show the gulf between DMs and CBs. I like Sabitzer, and Gakpo, but Vestergaard? Not sure why he's in a draft

@@FPLFran yea I agree it’s been super inconsistent but my thinking was that they will carry on that inconsistency throughout so literally just sorted ball recoveries in descending order and picked Vestergaard who’s 5th highest in defenders. That said he’s surely not my favorite pick on the draft and I’ll be looking forward to the cheat sheet video to make better decisions!

Thank you!

Will be out soon :)

Thoughts on Nuno Mendes being listed as doubtful?

Thank you! Cheers!

I agree with you. Personally i think Ronaldo will do better than Kane. But yes, Morata is an important player to have. I will also get Sabitzer in, but gotta have some time to think who i transfer out.

As said in the video, most likely to go Sabitzer for a German video but generally no issues with the two differences

@@FPLFran My captains for each day is, Musiala, Morata, Mbappe and then Gakpo, hope one of them do goated

all good movees!

Please this would help for some of us who have already used wildcard

I will do that, yes

​@@FPLFranthanks

But seeing as transfers are unlimited what’s the difference between using a wildcard?

but everyone has unlimited for md4?

I don't mind Carvajal, but if I was to spend 1m I'd likely go Nuno to Cancelo instead (using my own draft as a basis). I would still rather go Cucu than Carvajal

​@@FPLFran Thanks Fran!!! Taking that into consideration, this is my team - FWD - Yamal, Lukaku, Mbappe. MIDS - Gundogan, Musiala, Bellingham, Fernando's, Sabitzar. DEF - Cancelo, Carvajal, Cucurella, Guehi, Ake. GK - Pickford and Costa. Any suggestions for changes to this? 2m in bank

@@akpkrk not keen on lukaku

Thank you, you too!

you too!

I'm likely to go Morata - not because of the prior hattrick but just because we are indeed vs Georgia.

I would go more Netherlands and Austria to balance the team on both brackets

Maignan works though.

I like the team - it's v well rounded. No complaints really.

not much advice - think those are good picks! best of luck.

Bernardo is 8.5. I’m also not sure how Rodri is better than Pedri with the way ball recoveries get counted in this tournament

Sabitzer, Baumgartner, potentially an ENG mid.

Great team!

Baum slightly better on per90s but I think Sabotzer is clear based on the extra minutes imo.

I am actually planning to play for the SF for the most part, but I think one way to achieve that is just by getting players who win in their Ro16 matchups and thus guaranteeing you a playing team of 15 in the QF anyways as opposed to planning for SF from the outset. Of course, one factor to consider is how many players from potential matchups - e.g. too much Spain and Portugal could end up poorly

I think you've captured the pros and cons - I like Pedri personally.

Sabitzer. I would still go Nuno for the attacking returns but up to you

yep

I think that makes sense - could go lighter for Portugal in favour of France. Ultimately as long as these players play in the QF I'm happy.

Still prefer Pedri if price isn't an issue - Fabian is a CM and Pedri a 10 at the end of the day

yeah, but it still might make sense. I don't really think budget needs to be used fully.

will most likely be Sabitzer.

Thank you Cairney!

mendes has played 90 both games

@Sumayr111 Pepe and Mendes are both 5.0m, so the CB is not cheaper. Costa is a no-brainer.

Disagree on playing length and price as Sickem says. Mendes has been quite attacking and IMO it will be close

@@sickemboy9352 yeah my bad, they're both the same price, I go mixed up with someone else, but then again Pepe has been playing great for Portugal and is always getting good recovery points, if you look at it, I've been captaining a lot of my Striker and no one has really been score and 2 be satisfied they need to score at least 2 goals for ms to stick on captaincy, so it's better to get CB who tend to get the most recovery points and are probably the safest captain choice as they get 8 or 9 points. Most games recently are just low scoring games and personally at this point it's more beneficial to play safe and captain CBs who are likely to play more then attacker

Think that’s perfectly fine and a great way to go about it

i like sabitzer too but odds on baumgartner being the better pick?

@@Useless0305 pretty much 50/50 to be honest more people will go with sabitzer because he is the more well known player so maybe baumgartner is the play

Would say Sabitzer. He is overall better player

Sabitzer for the extra minutes imo

He’s not going to start for us?

correct

You’ve deduced that from one game? It’s more often the case that Bruno is more involved from a g/a perspective. Bernardo scoring is more unusual and made the motm a bit more of aberration but if you prefer Bernardo go for it

how can you say that when that was bernardo's first goal for portugal since 2018? he had 0 assist and 0 goal🤣

@@syahmizulfakhri7621 recency bias probably

You've either never watched Portugal play in the last 4-5 years or just have no tactical knowledge. Bruno creates more than most of the other players combined. Not only tactically he is the most involved but the numbers back that up as well

@@FPLFran I said that Bernardo the brain of the team, not that he scores more than Bruno. The claim is true in general, and backed by blatant evidence (= 1 man of the match award vs 0 for Bruno) in this tournament in particular.

Of course!

IMO, no. Cucurella has been insane at Ball recs

It’s unlimited transfers in md4. There are hits though like regular fpl

I agree - I've actually gone Morata but dropped Ronaldo for him instead.

I have a wildcard after this round, which I am using as a security blanket.

Personally prefer Pedri as our 10 over Ruiz, our CM

No particular reason, think the other fixtures are easier regardless

Did you watch the full video? He’s the most likely player to join this draft 😆

@FPLFran I did but I had already sent the message 😂

@@seanhorgan5380 fairs 😂

Limitless QF WC SF then

👍🏼

thankss aha

That was what the rank was like before points were calculated overnight. Now based on the latest update it’s 101k

@@FPLFran wow

If I didn't have a wc, I'd spread risk to ensure more players from NED/AUS, certainly. I'm not sure I'd go for teams and players I expect to lose though, that just isn't it for me.

He's not injured - just missed a day of training and came back but was rested for MD3

No he's not

whys that? They're probably the best defence in the tournament, which is also backed by markets

@@FPLFran in knockout games big teams will always go for it more. They can get exposed. 1 goal and Cs gone for 3

Nico

That's totally fine. Baum is great too

I would say 75+ for this match given the rest.

but he's a CM? I think that people's expectations of him are overblown

nope, just missed a day of training and was rested md3

that's what a wildcard is for tbh

Moved to Sabi.

I think Mittel is still extremely solid. I would generally agree

I think he’ll be fine for md4

It's out

that's not how rating a defense works though. I don't look at clean sheets for example to determine best prem teams, I look at xGC. The latter is more 'predictive'. I think we're still top 3 though.

@@FPLFran oh ok I was talking real football and trying to to apply it to FPL 😅 anyway I hope Spain wins the Euro 😍💪

@@Dr.Yazan_Abdulaal The clean sheeets are very real, but they are usually the product of a good defence. But I would say that clean sheets are usually an outcome of a good defense, but they do not help predict future clean sheeets as well as stats like xGC can!

expected Goals, it is effectively a consideration of how many good shots were taken based on field position, defender + GK positioning etc.

I have a wildcard, so don't really need to invest in the bracket and can still priotize better fixtures, or Mbappe

@@FPLFran But you still gonna miss their best fixture (romania)

You want a CM from Spain because he got 1G1A in 1 game, or is this an argument for MOTM?

@@FPLFran I like Ruiz's game more. I think he will bring more points

Agreed - might go there.

lol indeed. Don't mind Morata though

Because he’s our CM and less likely to consistently get into great spots?

@@FPLFranwho would you choose between just nico and pedri?

@@Araujoooooo I'd pick Nico tbh

Yeah I’m aware of that

What is your MD 4 team?

Share your md4 team bro.
