A red arrow was expected this week. 5 single gw pkayers plus a -4 to swap Mateta & Zabarnyi for Jackson and Akanji. Then took another -4 to swap Bruno for Gordon. Might've made the odd point there overall, but if I'd done the transfers in one go, I'd have had the money for Gvardiol!! So 119 after the -8. Solanke cost me a big return on Flekken while Saka really let me down. KDB to Salah seems prudent. I am envious of those 2 FTs! My issue is that I cannot really justify removing any if the players you mention apart from maybe Saka. But even that feels foolish. The safe transfer is prob Akanji to Gvardiol!

Well, if you managed to come out in the positive from a -8 then that is pretty well done in one week. Gvardiol though, if he was on the cards for you, must’ve been a painful 27 points to watch go by. 🙈 Avoiding the very slight risk of rotation and potentially nervy City affair to jump on Salah with pens, potentially playing his last game in the premier league, with what will probably be free reign to have a go given they can’t come 2nd or 4th is the best roll of the dice I can see. 🎲 If Saka plays he could do very well, however if he is actually injured, having an 8.8m asset sitting on the bench for the final day of the season won’t help the chances for a green in the final gameweek. For example, if both Akanji & Saka miss their fixtures entirely, it would make more sense to transfer Saka as he’s almost double the price. Tough spot.

@GKneeIssYT 18 күн бұрын
I think any Spurs defender is a decent enough shout for the last 2 gameweeks as both Burnley and Sheffield United will struggle to score. Romero has been getting into some outrageous positions lately too, so he could pop up with a rare goal. Gusto only got 10 mins last week, so he probably won’t start the first game in the double, but he’s probably got a good shot at starting that 2nd fixture and playing 60 mins or so. So I don’t think it’s worth selling him for a minus 4 and would probably gamble on playing him given there aren't any other standout options.

Hi Steve. Great score for the gw 💪🏼 I was 1 of the people to go against Haaland.... That hurt 👀🙈 Captained Havertz and went from 78k to 122k 🤦🏼 I won't be going against him this week 😄 I have 2 FT this week, no chips left. Going to roll 1 to have 2 for gw38. My decision is either Walker to Gvardiol, I feel he might hurt my rank overall and in mini leagues by not having him... Or replace Schar on my bench in preparation for gw38. I have Walker, Saliba, Branthwaite, Reguilón and Schar. What are your thoughts on this? I BB in GW34 and got 164 points... Including Haaland and Palmer not playing 🙄 7 points then on the bench after the subs but not a bad score having only 13 players !! I dont think Brighton will keep a clean sheet against Chelsea. Richards wouldn't be a bad idea at all. If Van Hecke only plays 1 game too then its much of a muchness... He also might not play any! So Richards even getting 2 points would be more!

Oof, a 50k red. 🙈 Ouch. 🤕Yeah I wouldn’t recommend going against Haaland this weekend, Fulham and Spurs are there for the taking and I’m sure Pep will want to work on the goal difference. Assuming both Walker and Gvardiol start both fixtures, and I think they’re both firmly first choice, the only way Gvardiol will beat Walker is through attacking returns. Unfortunately, who gets forward more will depend on who Pep plays in front of them on the wing. It’s usually only one of them that gets forward, and it feels like it’s been Gvardiol recently, but it could just as easily be Walker. And unfortunately, I still haven’t figured out how Pep decides his team, so it’s a bit of a gamble. I don’t think you need to worry about overall rank though, Walker will cover most of Gvardiol’s points and might even outscore him, but if it’s to block someone in your mini league then I can understand the move. I hope that helps decide between the two options. Very nice BB score 👏💪Super unlucky that Haaland AND Palmer both missed out, they could’ve put an extra 20 points on an already outrageous score. 😍

@GKneeIssYT
@GKneeIssYT 18 күн бұрын
Ouch, that’s a bit of a ruthless red mate. 💀 Commiserations. KDB, wow, 5 goals and no returns, just one of those games huh. 🙈 With the captaincy we’re always trying to choose a player from a team who’s likely to score the most goals, so you nailed that as Chelsea were the only other team to score 5, but that’s pretty rough for KDB to get nothing mate. The FPL gods are cruel. That is a bit of a pickle you’ve got going on there. My thoughts on Jackson are that, yes he hauled last week, but I still think he’s a bang average finisher, made worse when he doesn’t, shall we say, keep his head in the game 😤. But, Chelsea are putting some pretty decent attacks together, and if he continues getting gifted with tap-ins then he will still score points. West Ham did make it pretty easy though! Pedro is more of a gamble on whether Brighton can string enough attacks together or not, and if they do, I think Pedro's finishing is more likely to hit the mark. Geez, out of the frying pan huh. 🎲 If you’re looking to go against Haaland for captaincy this week, although I wouldn’t recommend it given how poor Spurs defence is at the moment, I'd be looking at Isak or Palmer. Isak has the battle wounded Brighton with Van Hecke, Estupinan & Lamptey all out and then the abysmal defending of United. Palmer though has Brighton as well, but his other fixture is Nottingham Forest which I see shipping a few. Palmer gets the extra point for the goal and definitely has penalties, whereas I think Isak still has pens, but I’m only guessing given his miss at the weekend.

Good shout at finding a cheaper option, I didn’t actually think of Webster to be fair. And haha, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I liked Van Hecke, he was simply the best of a bad bunch of choices for the bench boost this week which was the only reason I bought him on my wildcard. Plus, he was cheap enough to allow me some additional premium options. But, with the amount of injuries Brighton are carrying in their backline and the tough opponents that I think will each score twice this weekend, I think Webster is just as likely to get a 2-3 pointer. And although that 4.2m price tag would provide an additional 0.1m buffer over Veltman, I think I’d prefer to gamble on a Palace clean sheet with Richards at 3.9m away at Wolves and have and have the additional 0.3m in flexibility next week.

I've used my FT to kick out the infuriating Solanke for Halaand. Plan for next week is to bring in 1 or 2 additional doublers tho I am very tempted to kick out Fernandes for a hit to get KDB!

Benching Son!? That is bold. I definitely agree that he's been playing like a wet rag of late (to be fair that applies to all of Tottenham right now) but I'll be leaving him in this week. Liverpool were not impressive against us this past weekend. Same old story, created a bit but couldn't finish their chances. Looks like it's all unravelling rather spectacularly for them. To put in such a meek effort when they should have wiped up to give themselves a chance in the title race was baffling. Hard to know what's going on but they do not look happy. The other factor that has leaving Son in the team is memories of that crazy 4-3 game at Anfield last season where Son picked up a goal and an assist. Who knows what could happen with both teams seemingly on the beach already. Now that I reread my comment I can see its more hope than logic leaving Son in my team this week. Captaincy a real spin the wheel this week. With three City attackers I'm finding it hard to pick who to captain, would love a punt but can't figure out who to back (especially with Foden out last week, and Haaland coming back from injury). Definitely the game to target, as I reckon Pep will be worried about their inferior goal difference and see this as a chance to bump that up a bit just in case Spurs nick some points off them next week. Good luck mate
@GKneeIssYT
@GKneeIssYT 25 күн бұрын
I don’t think Son has been playing particularly bad, he’s just been isolated. It seems to me he’s a bit of a victim of his own pedigree in that if he doesn’t generate something out of nothing he’s seen to be not performing. Son’s best attributes are all about movement, playing off teammates and exploding into space with one-twos, or running with the ball at defenders who are scrambling back from a counter attack. But he’s not really a Doku who, in controlled possession facing a deep block or structured defence, will aim to take on a defender one on one and beat them, which is kind of what is being expected of Son given the isolation and lack of passing options. Those Son memories you’re reminiscing on were from a pre-Postecoglou era with a different Spurs structure and personnel, and although there's a chance we may get an end to end game this weekend, I think the breakdown of link up play in the Spurs midfield has been evident for some weeks now and Liverpool will simply have too much for them in that area of the pitch. Liverpool though, have been failing to impress across the front 3, and across the backline as well to a certain extent, but they have been dominating the middle of the park. You can see this by how often they're able to get the ball through to the front 3 and how well they recover possession in the centre 3rd of the park. I think this alone will limit Son’s involvement in the game as Spurs will probably find it hard to get out of their defensive shape with their midfield probably losing the ball too often. Salah has been the only reliable finisher in the team for a while now and even he misses quite a few chances, but when he goes through a rough patch of finishing it really shows. Diaz, Nunez & Gakpo haven't been pulling their weight in terms of goals, and Jota has been out for large parts of the season who was probably their 2nd best finisher. I think Liverpool will dominate the game, but the scoreline will depend on who has their shooting boots on. Yeap there were quite a few captaincy options this week given the favourable fixtures on paper, did you end up on Haaland or did you roll the dice with the armband?

Love the wildcard Steve! Looking good. Triple city attack is where I ended up too. Kdb seems to turn it on for the last few games of the season, let's hope he can do the same again this year. It's a tricky wildcard but loving your anti template moves. Shame it's so hard to fit TAA in could be a spectacular differential. That third striker spot had been driving me nuts all week. Can't disagree with you on Jackson and yet it looks like that's who I will end up with. Werner seems like another striker with strong positional play that simply can't finish his chances. J Pedro not for me as Brighton are looking all at sea at the moment and I don't trust the rotation with RDZ. Could be a great shout though. My WC had ended up pretty template, especially in attack (apart from kdb instead of Bruno. Funny how most utd fans are the ones who seem to be swerving BF) . Was toying with Havertz in for Gordon, but that SHU fixture is too juicy. Could be another rampage. I ended up with Pickford and Branthwaite and Maguire in the squad for gw37, just don't fancy many defenses doubling in gw37 that I haven't already maxed out on (or already have covered). Thanks for all your videos this season. In a sea of copycat content creators they've been a breath of fresh air. Great to be able to compare notes and see how another manager is navigating the season. Good luck this gw.

Thanks mate! 🙏 I’ve got a lot riding on KDB, hopefully he outscores Bruno and some! 🤞 I think the trickiness of the wildcard was in recognizing that there’s no easy cleans and all the picks therefore look unappealing. I sold TAA this morning upon hearing the confirmation that Porro looks good, I also sold Gusto as ligament injuries can be lengthy and have put Cucurella in his place. These two final moves left me exact funds to go Burn to Trippier. But as a result, I’m now having to hold Haaland so I won't be able to gamble on Alvarez if we find that Haaland is still out this weekend, at which point I'll get Pedro in off the bench which I'm actually kind of hoping for weirdly. Ah Jackson Nunez 🙈 He is very much a 'I hope he avoids yellows and flukes a couple of goals' type of pick. Pedro is a much better footballer, and comes with pens. A slight chance of rotation yes, but I think he’s got a very good shot at playing all 4 remaining fixtures from kickoff. Plus, I simply enjoy watching Pedro play. If I buy Jackson and end up seeing the errors start to mount, continued poor attempts to finish and yellow cards for dissent, it will be a, shall we say, relatively infuriating few fixtures of viewing. Especially considering that's exactly what I'm expecting! Just watch him go and uncharacteristically smash it over the final 4 gameweeks and ruin my season 😅 Not all United fans are swerving United, but yes, many of us are. I'm not sure what will hurt more, Jackson hauling, or United turning it around and pulling in the FPL points. 😂 Gordon vs. SHU could easily be a double digit haul, way too juicy to pass up! Thanks for investing your time into watching the content and conversing in the comments, the pen palling has been a treasure trove of ideas helping me clarify a lot of thoughts. Your perspective has been considered and insightful. 🙏 Good luck for your wildcard, here’s hoping it doesn’t go completely tits up for us both 😂💪

You do like the big name players. Halaand, Son, KDB, Trent and Trippier! No WC for me but I am done with Liverpool. Avoiding Darwin was a good move. Salah already out for Bruno - wish I'd gone with my gut and done that last week instead of rolling the transfer. Van Dyk out this week for either Porro or Burn. Not super fussed on Porro and would def go to Trippier if he was fit. Must say tho, Walker was excellent last night and is back in contention. Lots of talk about Spurs and Chelsea defs but are they worth looking at really? I don't see clean sheets anywhere - I've been done so many times season by the promoted teams that I no longer consider any fixtures against them as likely cleans. Maybe just having the Petrovic and Vicario is enough? Gusto, in particular, is just a real headache. Disasi is the more reliable pick and he does tend to pop up in the box....even from open play. My defs are Gabriel, White, Zabarnyi, Braithwaite and Van Dyk. Virgil has been easily the worst out of that lot. Had him since his goal at Luton and he's been dreadful. An easy sell.
@GKneeIssYT
@GKneeIssYT Ай бұрын
I like to try and get as many of them into my team as I can 😂. Virgil has been a rough own for a few managers, I actually think he's been at fault for a few goals recently. So yeah, I think you're right, it’s a good time to jump the Liverpool ship, something’s a bit off and there are much more intriguing options about. Yeah the Darwin dodge worked pretty well, let's see if I get smacked by Jackson or not 🤣😅. Walker is a decent shout and not one I've seen talked about much. I don’t really like any of the defensive options, this gameweek or GW37, so they’re all a bit of a punt. Hence, I’m trying to focus on attacking options. To be honest, I haven't struggled owning Gusto over the lengthy spell I've held him for which was way back in GW19 on my wildcard, perhaps his price point was easy enough to bench. I think Petrovic and Vicario are probably the best BB keeper pairing, Ederson could be included too if you are happy to invest a City spot in net. They're all a bit of a punt, I don't see many cleans out there!

Very strong and robust WC, you will probably end up inside 100K. Don't like booked in transfers but if Haaland is out then Jackson the horrible in for 35 and Haaland back the following week. If Gusto is out then it's slim pickings with Maguire/Branthwaite. I'm screwed looking at a -4 for Vicario/Ederson or no keeper and -4 for Isak. Good luck, not that you need it with this team!

Thanks for the props mate. 🙏 Top 100K is the goal, hopefully the lads crack it. Haha, ‘Jackson the horrible’ could score, he could even get a lucky couple, I just think it’s a lot less likely considering his opponents are decent and his finishing is pretty poor. But, he’ll earn at least 4 points for the gameweek which is a decent starting point, assuming he gets no yellows of course…. 🙈

I mentioned Jackson’s suspension risk in my earlier video this week before Chelsea played, but not in this video, I only mentioned that he’s a yellow card magnet. Jackson is pretty much guaranteed 2 starts yes, but I think Pedro is pretty nailed too. Yes he’s got one less fixture, but if Jackson continues with his poor finishing I think Pedro has a decent shot at outscoring him. Plus, this is really my bench spot anyway, so it’s actually my 5th midfielder that I’m putting up against Jackson this week.

Our WC teams are looking quite different. Of course some of them are the same but quite a few differences around the edges. I don't think Gusto will be fit for the weekend so I've switched him out to Romero and gone double Spurs defence. I don't like you having Petrovic and Vicario - can only play one of them this week so seems a waste. If you're not playing Petrovic this week then I'd be going for Onana - I know United are rubbish but Sanchez may come in at some point.
@GKneeIssYT
@GKneeIssYT Ай бұрын
Going against Jackson was the catalyst for a relatively differential wildcard. I’m reading conflicting messages about Gusto, so I’m holding onto hope until at least the press conferences. 🤞 The reason I’ve ended up with Petrovic/Vicario is because I want Vicario for GW37 & GW38 (BUR, shu) and if I drop Petrovic I’m not going to be buying a different Chelsea player as I’ve ruled them all out. I get it though, it feels a bit weird to bench a doubler, but I think Petrovic has the best shot at cleans in GW37 so I’m simply buying him for that. I don't really like any of the doubling keeper options for this week or GW37, so it's all a punt really. I might even flip a coin to see who plays this week. Hopefully Sanchez doesn’t snipe Petrovic’s spot, but that's not enough of a reason for me to avoid him. If I get burned I get burned and I’ll reassess at that point. United aren't just a little rubbish, they have conceded 2 goals from SHU, 3 from COV, 30 shots per game from LIV, CHE, BRE and 20 shots from BOU. That's some tally from the last 6 matches... 🙈

Hey Steve, great to see a video from you early in the week. Also on wc35, and am right there with you. What a head scratcher. Plan is indeed to sell Salah but haven't been able to push the button just yet. Think most wc35 teams will be similar but as always I'm keen some left field picks. At this point I'm seeing if I can squeeze in TAA, BWhite, and leave enough money itb to upgrade Schar to Trippier if he returns in time for dgw37. Beyond that a pretty similar WC team to most. Love the shout of KDB and am planning to include him in the spot where many have Bruno atm. Am unconvinced by NJackson and wondering what to do with that spot, a few tempting options out there but no one is an obvious choice yet. Chelsea and Tottenham both look fried and out of form so hard to figure out if dgw35 is a trap. A double double is hard to resist but both teams are looking on the beach apart from Palmer (even Son is looking disinterested out of form atm). Good luck with the WC. Fun part of the season, let's hope for some chunky green arrows 🟩🔼💪

Watching that City game made me push the eject button on Salah, just watch him turn it around for the final 4 gameweeks and punish all of us late wildcarders who abandon him 😅. I released my wildcard team video today, it’s got a couple of caveats pending injury news but mostly all locked in and relatively differential. I’ve got TAA in at the moment (might be Porro come deadline), KDB & Foden, a plan for Trippier and no Jackson. Quite a different wildcard to where I started really. 😂 Chelsea & Spurs are a bit trappy, but I don’t see any decent alternatives so I’m punting on the extra fixtures. Son is in yes, but he’s in for cover, not because Spurs are playing particularly well. Son only needs one or two shots though, so I’m happy to hold him. Good luck for your WC too mate, may we both get big greens!

​@@slavicdude1016 I’m sure there will be single gameweek players that will do better than double gameweekers, probably even better than some of the popular picks. For example, I can see someone like Watkins continuing to return while other popular picks like Jackson, Hojlund and Pedro could easily disappoint. I’m not sure what to expect from Chelsea either, but I think they’ve been more consistently threatening compared to say Spurs. I’m in agreement, I think Isak and Gordon will probably outscore Jackson and Maddison, unless of course if Wilson starts taking significant minutes off Isak, but I think this is probably less likely. Wilson is 32 and has been injured for 10 weeks now, so I’m pretty sure Howe will be prioritising Isak given he’s young and going to be the future main man.

Tough choices. If the only way you can fund Isak & Jackson is through selling Salah for a hit, and you think KDB starts this gameweek and are pretty sure he’s going to continue starting for the rest of the matches, then I think this is a hit worth taking. Fair warning though, going against Salah could totally backfire. I don’t think I’d buy Porro for a hit, especially not for Saliba who could easily outscore Porro this week. Maybe delay that move until GW37?

Vicario, Petrovic, Gusto, Porro (if fit), Trippier, Gvardiol, Dalot KDB, Son, Maddison, Palmer, Gordon Joao Pedro (last sub that's on pens and passes eye test, but iffy mins), Haaland, Isak I think Jackson should be in nobody's team with his disgraceful finishing. This squad, if you can afford it, is really differential and has 5 attacking fullbacks on defense, as well as full coverage of doublers and teams w good fixtures. Edit: too many spurs, so perhaps replace Porro with a van Hecke or someone else if he's unfit, or Maddison for a Gross, but that seems less exciting imo as you'll need to play either him or Pedro each week, and ideally you play just 3 defenders.

Hahahahaha, yes, Jackson's finishing has definitely been all over the place this season. 🙈 It seems to fluctuate with his emotions. Interesting team. If you have Vicario & Petrovic you’ll have to bench a doubler this gameweek which I’m not sure you’re happy with or not? However, If I end up with Vicario in my squad I’m not even sure I’ll play him this week though, so perhaps this is by design. I’m not going to be owning Dalot, too many shots being conceded and United are not cohesively attacking so Dalot’s attacking threat is super limited. Trippier is a huge differential shout if he’s fit, and I might use some Salah money there. Pretty solid team overall!

I'm hoping the next few matches give us some more information. While you say Jackson has been good, I watched the FA Cup match and Jackson was easily Man City's best player on the day, he was absolutely woeful, missing every chance he got. He's only looked decent in link up against a Everton side on an off-day. I'm leaning towards Hojlund, Pedro or Alvarez. Figuring out the third striker spot is the key to picking the rest of the wildcard I firmly believe.

​ @YGOWales I didn’t catch the FA Cup match, but I’m not surprised that he had an off day. Jackson’s biggest issue is the top 3 inches, if he can keep his emotions in check he could swing back to playing some decent football, but he will probably flip flop about as he loses his temper while his football, and the teams cohesion, will suffer as a result. But with the number of fixtures available, I think it’s too much of a gamble to go against him in the hopes that he doesn’t click at all for the remainder of the matches. He's got it in the locker, surely he can keep himself calm and focussed for a couple of fixtures right? I did briefly contemplate Pedro when I was thinking I might go against Jackson, but I haven’t watched much of Brighton lately so I’m flying a bit blind there. Hojlund has no service, and I think Alvarez is the most likely City attacker to be rotated with Bernardo Silva / Kovacic. This is also why I’ve kind of landed at Jackson, the other options all have worrying drawbacks.

​@@GKneeIssYT I agree with everything there. It will take additional team injuries mid week to make Alvarez or Pedro more appealing. It may just be me being a bit sceptical as a Chelsea fan but the thing to watch out with Jackson is while Poch says he supports him and says he's his only fit striker he may lose patience if he puts in another poor performance vs Arsenal tonight, and Jackson might find himself playing 3 of those 5 games (week 35-36-37). It's equally possible he might not even start and opt to go more bodies in midfield instead, with one of the midfielders pushing forward.

@@YGOWales It’s pretty tough to say what Pochettino will do but we’ll be able to draw some conclusions from the team sheet against Arsenal. If Jackson is still starting up front against Arsenal despite the accumulation of yellow cards, the fact that not too long ago Poch told the media that he’d had a word with Jackson about the yellows and yet Jackson went and got a yellow for dissent in the fixture that week, getting yellow carded from the bench, and now the penalty incident, it’s quite the mountain of issues that have accumulated. So if he’s starting after all of that, I don’t think Jackson is likely to get dropped before the end of the season as it must not be something that Pochettino is worrying about. Perhaps Pochettino is really just out of options. Nkunku hasn’t played in ages, but Sterling has been available and could play. Having watched Nkunku for a couple of games once he came back from his first injury, I didn’t see anything special. And Sterling hasn’t been firing for a while. Palmer is also way more influential in midfield, so I doubt Pochettino will want to sacrifice Palmer’s link up play in order to play him up front and bench Jackson. So, does he play a misfiring Sterling, an unfit Nkunku who looked average, or an angry Jackson who’s scoring goals and assisting Palmer?

Real pros don't push the WC button yet, just before the deadline so the transfers count in price changes ;). I'm also mulling the same question: Keep Salah/Saka or buy Son/Foden. Also tempted to buy Watkins back instead of the unsecure minutes of Isak in dgw37 with Wilson likely to start the second game. You could get Vicario as a third Spurs player..

Hahaha, now that’s a l33t hack of the system! 💪🕶 I'm starting to lean towards dropping Salah for KDB, and I'm still mulling over whether to hold Saka or not. Yes you're right, Wilson could be a spanner in the works, but I think this Sheffield United fixture is worth a future transfer if Isak’s minutes become an issue. Vicario may end up in my team as I might end up holding Gusto as he's cheap and attacking, but that'll mean I’ll have to drop Petrovic and will likely own Vicario as a result of wanting a doubler. But this double for Spurs is defensively horrible and they have Udogie out and maybe Porro too, so what am I really expecting? A fluke clean sheet I guess, or maybe a penalty save? Bruno & Garnacho will probably get investment due to the immediate fixtures and because they have a double, but I’m choosing them as the best players/team to go against in order to hunt rank.
