Hey guys welcome to a new episode of The Burning question series by Fantasy Football Scout in this series Harry and I sonaldo talk about the key hot topics for the week first of all happy Merry Christmas to you all and almost a Happy New Year to you all we have a very very

Special guest in FPL TT whose team has absolutely ruined our FPL teams as well uh but great to have you on TT how are you doing uh Harry and Titi yeah I’m good thank you um yeah heck it feels like it’s been a while I

Wasn’t on the last one and a lot of FPL has has happened over the past couple of weeks so good to be be chatting at Christmas time with you guys and yeah I think it’s the first time we’ve I’ve ever been on with three of us so yeah

Good to have Titi on with us yeah thanks Hy back guys um it’s been a good Christmas break I think lots of green arrows and this week hopefully the same for everyone um lots of players tonight as well so I’m sure we’ll get right into it yeah I think you guys did

A twom Man Part earlier in this season I don’t think I was there but uh second appearance for you here um TT so it’s great to have you on last week we had an episode with Dany um where Harry was absent and I think a lot of positive

Comments about Danny as well so hopefully we can have both you guys on as as regulars moving forward as Harry mentioned there’s a lot that happened over the you know past two game weeks let’s say and still this game we is in progress I’m sure sun will get us the

Hattrick we need today as well as a poal clean sheet and double Arsenal clean sheet cuz that’s all that matters tonight um but yeah let’s begin with team or TT’s team how are you doing this season and and you know how’s the game we been for you yeah this season’s been it’s been

Tricky right like I think obviously so much more information everyone’s so engaged in the game so like I think everyone’s really trying to find that edge this season and I think a few players have kind of really helped me get there um this week’s not been great

So far but I’ve still got few players to play tonight um but otherwise it’s been been a pretty good season I’m sitting around 130k right now so kind of just pushing on trying to get back inside the top 100K and then we’ll try kick off from there so yeah otherwise it’s been

Pretty good yeah I think a lot of people don’t know might not know this but you’re obviously a huge Newcastle fan um you know what’s been what’s what’s going on with your team man like obviously Tripper is not in good form I know they’re just super tired it seems but

You know any comments on on what’s going on with Newcastle yeah I think fatigue is probably the main thing playing into the team right now we played seven games in 19 days and I think that pretty much sums up the form that we’re seeing the injuries haven’t helped as well we’re seeing kind

Of a lot of the same players that probably were Dre a rest weeks ago that are just kind of playing regularly and they just look kind of like a shadow of their best right now and the problem is a lot of kind of the key the key style

Of play for the team is high intensity High Press and we just haven’t been able to kind of do that in games where we’ve needed to so I’m hoping kind of now we’re out of the Cup competitions we get back into the swing of one game a week

Can really get back into the the the high intensity kind of style of playay like I said so I think hold tight on the Newcastle assets but saying that the fixture on it is horrible and maybe we’ll touch on that later but um yeah it’s it’s just one of those I think

People have kind of really gone in Newcastle and it hasn’t quite worked out yet so let’s kind of see how things play out over the next few weeks yeah I think long term like there’s no need for you guys to panic as fans right if anything

You’re in the right like you want to go through these struggles in order to to build something great and we’ve seen that with Man City over the last decade let’s say um so I think you’re on the right track do you think there’s any maybe signings in in January you see

Coming for Newcastle yeah I I think they’ll definitely do some business um well probably a couple players light in the summer from the win like from the business that we did so I’m fully expecting another midfielder to come in maybe some Center back cover probably another Winger as well would be helpful

Um I think they’re they’re going to be very active they’re probably seeing like these kind of results and the form that we’re in currently and they like the board will know that how needs maybe some additional backup for the squad so yeah I’m sure there’ll be one or two

Signings um in the pipeline I think Calvin Phillips might be one that might be happening on which could be interesting very very interesting okay Harry we have your team up here yeah um it’s been an all right week so far 26 so far with four to play um

Basically salanki and Trent the only two people to to get a return from me sanky scoring and getting zero bonus points was a little bit of a surprise but I can’t complain given he scored four goals in in two games so nice to have him and yeah the Trent transfer in for

Gameweek 19 uh gameweek 18 has just paid off again and again so five and eight since I brought him in yeah very happy with him but yeah it’s just triple Newcastle that’s let me down again this week um so I had to braa trippier and

Gordon this week and I I I didn’t expect the loads but I expected more than the Four Points I got from the three of them combined so that’s what’s let me down um I agree there’s not loads of panic on them particularly because I don’t like trippier’s budget I don’t need at the

Moment because we don’t need Harland which will cover so like it’s fine at the moment I will do my best not to start any of them until their fixture run changes in Game of 23 so they’re going to sit on my bench for two or

Three weeks I think um but after that as you say we’re now at a point where Newcastle will play once a week with a great run of fixures from gameweek 23 so I’m quite happy to hold from now until then I think wow even trippier you’re planning on

Holding yeah I mean yeah like I don’t need the budget for it plus like I could I just mention like this week I’ve got porro at home to Bournemouth Gabrielle away at Fulham and Trent at home to Newcastle like I just don’t need trippier and I don’t need the money from

Him to sell him if I needed harand back this week then maybe I’d consider selling him but I don’t I just don’t need the money so him is a 4 million option doesn’t make any difference so there’s no need for me to rush and sell

Him um so yeah like it is what it is it hasn’t worked out since I brought him in two weeks ago alongside Trent but yeah I just plan on keeping him I’ll just bench him I think until until then again it’s quite fortunate because if Harlem was

Fine or Salah and Son weren’t going to their tournaments then maybe it look like a bigger mistake but because I don’t need the money it it kind it’s Carnival right and no defense is being massively consistent anyway yeah yeah it’s an interesting point you make I

Think it’s a very weird part of the Season where Holland’s out Salas Sun money is going to be available very soon and I think we all have pretty deep benches as in like not not your 14th 15th man but every week we’re going to have a playing sort of 13th man right so

I understand the the holding on to trip here until their fixtures get good I believe around 23 versus luten same thing as why I’m you know planning on holding on to Gordon as well so okay how about you yeah quickly speaking um I think we’re all have been very

Similar boats I I’m expecting a at least a green arrow this week because I still have four players to play um but I don’t know how big that green arrow is going to be obviously I want a clean sheet against Brighton as well as definitely like you know hopefully a clean sheet

With the double Arsenal defense I had I had a really tough decision on basically either benching Archer or playing him over the likes of CBA Gabriel or poro but I decided to sort of you know go a little different and and try to do a double Arsenal defense so I’m in a very

Interesting position I have a benching dilemma pretty much every week here on out because the defense is so deep so that’s my biggest thing and you know I do want to rant a little bit I don’t know if you guys have a arch nemesis in terms of an FPL AET but

Watkins has to be mine like do you remember last season when he was on fire um I basically didn’t have him for that period and this year you know I sell him for Darwin Darwin blanks continuously bringing back the last two game weeks and obviously Watkins blanks and Darman

Score so um yeah Watkins has been quite annoying but I’m sure he’s a long-term hold so that’s about it I think I think in good position moving forward the features for Villa look so good over the next like seven or eight weeks so I know people are getting frustrated with

Watkins and Villa generally but their fit just look so good so I’ve got no no issues with him but yeah if you went from Watkins to Darwin and then back to Watkins like you’ve just got basically the opposite of what you want cuz Watkins returned initially then Darwin

Returned then yeah and then Darwin when you sold him so yeah I can understand it you got five left though so yeah you should be fine for green this week because you got sacker in there as well oh yeah I totally forgot I got zaka too

I mean you know he’s highly owned so maybe I I didn’t even consider but yeah it’s it’s quite annoying is is the the Darwin move is really annoying just because it was based on sort of injury news and not like a firm decision right so that’s yeah that’s part of the game

So I understand the frustration that people might have but we move forward and I also think that just in general what I’ve been noticing this season is that it’s okay to just continue to chip away little by little like even though there’s weeks where you could have had

You know a bigger Green Arrow one one potentially bigger Hall uh I think just chipping away a little by little is actually putting me in good position so I feel pretty confident moving into the second part of the Season good yeah okay so I guess today we begin with

Sort of an update on Holland um I I’m sure a lot of us have already read the quotes but I think we should talk about it a little bit I’m sort of 50/50 on what these quotes means uh and then I think it’s going to be a fun episode

Where we just kind of to talk about Salah and Sun replacement as that approaches us very short soon um you know we can talk about Trent a little bit and then formation whether 343 is the way moving forward I know alv ver is high on everyone’s radar and mine too

This game week so uh so I think it should be we talk about the sort of popular picks and then maybe some spicy differentials here and there so that’s the idea there’s a couple of fixtures to keep in mind if you look at uh this fixture ticker by Lego mané please do

Give Lego Manet a follow we use his fixture ticker all the time and if you look carefully the BL black box is basically sort of a the the part where afcon and Asian cup happened so keep that in mind I think City have a pretty great run from 20 to 24 granted even

Newcastle is not a not a bad fixture I would say sorry TT and then Arsenal I feel like have a pretty solid let’s say short medium long-term run plus they’re such a good team that you know they should definitely be on our Radars is it Brighton season again I

Mean that fixture run is really excellent but who do you go for is there a standout pick big question mark there Spurs all also pretty solid season uh fixture run as well so rich Charleson definitely on my radar um apologies Harry for kind of shutting down your

Richison pick two three weeks ago now he’s such a popular pick and then West time also great immediate three fixtures I think Bowen should be on our Radars as well and then Solani obviously a good long-term hold but I think there’s four or five main Striker candidates moving

Forward it’s just a matter of who we go for so it’s a pretty straightforward fixture ticker there’s not much you need to Deep dive into I know Harry there is a blank potentially for game 26 caribo cup um and I know I was talking to you about the potential for a double being

Very unlikely I think 29 blink is a little bit far away so I don’t think we need to plan that far ahead um so I think what we see up here is pretty much my assessment of the lay of the land but anything to add on on the fixtures uh

Harry yeah just to add like a little bit more detail so if you haven’t I posted on Twitter yesterday if you haven’t listened to the five minutes of the planet FPL podcast from this week please go and do so um I mean their podcast generally amazing like I listen to it

Every week but this five minutes in particular about gameweek 26 gameweek 29 was really interesting and it was about how Salah and son are being sold now and it might actually be a while before we go back and buy them so game we 26 for those unaware is the final of the

Carabal cup Liverpool are in the semi-finals and have Fulham Chelsea are in the semi-finals and have middlesburo so statistically the final is predicted to be Liverpool Chelsea and if that’s to take place in gameweek 26 then Chelsea Liverpool will blank and so were their opponents which is Spurs and Luton that

Week it’s possible that some of those fixtures get moved forward because gameweek 25 to gameweek 26 is actually a free midweek so some of those teams that blank in 26 could blank could double in game with 25 but that’s just like a little bit of an extra detail but

Gameweek 29 as we say is also likely to be a blank caused by the quarterfinals of the FA Cup so what that means if you take Salah for example if Salah gets to the last four if Egypt gets to the last four of the African Cup

Of Nations he will miss gameweek 21 22 23 and 24 he’ll come back for gameweek 25 and then he’ll blank again in gameweek 26 he’ll then play again in gameweek 27 and 28 and then blank again in gameweek 29 so it’s possible that Salah plays three Premier League games

Between now and gameweek 30 h which is why I’m not as worried about buying you know spending the Salah money spending the son money because there’s a chance I don’t want both of them back because if either of them get very far in the tournament and then because son as well

Will blank in game with 26 because he plays Chelsea right and if Chelsea get to The Cup finals so it’s just worth adding on that we are starting to enter the part of the Season where we’re not just picking the best players for our team we’re picking players that help us

Through Bank game weeks and through double game weeks as well so it’s probably worth starting to have that in your back of your mind when you’re starting to to make transfers uh just to add on that sun factor is let’s say he he does get to the final and you’re

Saying he might blank in 26 that W’s fixture I believe is 3 days after the final of a of Asian cup so it’s also a very tight period between Brighton and wolves um no not Brighton yeah if a team wins the tournament then that’s a whole new Kettler fish right I

Think some was it did mané win last year and klopp gave him an extra week off so like it’s possible that these things these things happen it’s quite early TC I don’t know what you think but it’s probably about time maybe after the Christmas period from game at 21 onward

We start to think about these things no for sure um I think the FA Cup results will help kind of shape the land a little bit further because obviously we’ve got that Arsenal Liverpool game in the third round so like you said Harry like potential for Liverpool to blank in

Both 26 and 29 and then that might shape our thinking in terms of when do we get these asex back what I find really interesting about 26 is the matchups of the blanks as well because obviously if those games do happen where Liverpool and Chelsea make it to the final I think

It’s also Spurs that potentially blank as well which will then affect our teams that week so do we potentially think about a chip with the amount of players um people also thinking about buying Chelsea players um as well and if they’re blanking too you know where do

We think on that one um and captaincy will always come into play you know with if de bruyne comes back do we even need Salah when we’re probably very comfortable captaining Harland with a de bruyer feeding him every week so definitely things lot of things to think

About and we all know what salah’s form was like when he came back from afcon last year right yeah the whole narrative for weeks and weeks on end that Salah was bad because he played in afcon or he’s upset about the afcon results so yeah I mean I

Don’t expect or like think is any correlation but it is definitely something worth um thinking about because they play a lot of matches in very quick succession when they’re at these tournaments so good good wrap up there uh a good uh breakdown there we’ll we’ll get to the

Sort of uh super chats at the end guys so appreciate the super chats but let’s keep it moving let’s talk about Holland first Harry um yeah I have a quote up here I’m not sure if people have seen it but you know ultimately speaking I know a lot of

People are saying that potentially he’ll be back for game week 21 and then January also we have to factor in there’s only two Premier League fixtures so that’s another whole month right um but this could honestly mean anything right like he might not even be back be

Back for 21 is my thinking Am I Wrong to think that U to both you guys CC you yeah this is this quote is you just don’t know what to believe right January you know we’ll talk about it earlier it’s so subjective it could be the start

Of the month could be the end of the month I know there’s normally not that many games in January but like Andy said right if if if we’re thinking he’s not going to be back potentially for 21 then what do people do kind of for the immediate Replacements because obviously

We’ probably want to use that salar or on money to get him back so then there’s almost an argument to be like do we do we not sell them immediately and then do we kind of just have to hold them this week and then that’s also kind of

Pushing back transfers in the future knowing that in 21 both Sal and Son won’t be available as there’ll be a wait for their respective tournament so it’s such an interesting period for transfers right now and kind of the planning involved in that I think could get very

Interesting and you almost feel like you might have to kind of burn a few transfers before you kind of make the shape of your team that you want to kind of with the structure once we know howland’s actually fit so I don’t know what you guys think but I’m gon to try

Hold two fre transfers as long as possible ready to kind of make that switch um but it’s almost as if you need to need to think about um the immediate Replacements that you want in Midfield as well um just so we can kind of jump on that jump on those fixure swings as

Well yeah it’s weird so again just on the fixture spacing and what it means so after gameweek 20 we have a twoe gap until gameweek 21 and then we have basically another twoe Gap until gameweek 22 one is FA Cup and one is the winter break so like him being back in

January yeah he might not make that Newcastle game but from an FPL point of view like he’ll be back gting week 22 by the sounds of things like that’s the last Point that he’s going to be back so if you’re planning on you know harand you know pretty guaranteed now it seems

Not to play against chel United whether you if you don’t have Harland yes you might not buy him for Newcastle but we know we need a plan to be buying them back now I’m the same as UT I rolled my transfer this week because I just want two transfers every

Week now until I know I want to buy him back I’ll just roll the second one and roll the second one until he’s back and then and then I’ll sell him and then I’ll buy him sell Salah and buy him back so I mean yeah it’s it’s a completely I mean it’s a

Fairly useless quote all it did for us is R him out of shef United um but as soon as we saw him not in the squad against Everton that did that pretty much anyway so I personally think he’ll play Newcastle um but I am guessing here

It does seem like it’s going to come around pretty quickly for him we will get the cup game we will get press conferences we will get a lot so after gameweek 20 it’s worth putting your pens down for a little bit um as much as you

Know it’s fun to Tinker after game week 20 we just have to wait as close to that 21 deadline to make our moves because if harland’s suddenly back we’ll all want him straight away and so no early moves for 21 I think is the key here yeah I

Agree just to add on to these quotes basically he’s not train he’s training but not with the team yet earling feels better it’s not a stress or fractor but a question on on whether the pain will disappear he has a stress right so ultimately it’s it’s sort of day by day

Almost week by week game week by game week and I like the strategy of same exact same reason why I rolled Harry to have two threee transfers I think it’s okay to continue to try to have two free transfers but when sun and Salah do go

Away maybe it’s okay to just get rid of those two free transfers downgrade both of them and have enough in the bank just to get to for example Alvarez Solan up to Holland at some point in time right so yeah I don’t think it’s a big big

Issue to deal with it’s it’s pretty straightforward just make sure you have a strategy not to take a hit in order to bring Holland in is sort of the advice I would give just just to add the additional complication is that we still got this lingering double that needs to go in

Somewhere for City and brenford right yeah but isn’t that onl go ahead no no yeah that’s the thing that’s still very up in the air right but I feel like all of a sudden that might just get dropped in somewhere and then we might be scrambling to to get City

Players as well so it’s yeah it feels like a quite a pivotal time of how we kind of utilize our free transfers for the next few weeks a question none of us own Alvarez and of course he did score last night but if harand comes back what do you

Think what do you think it does to Alvarez as an asset because like de bruyne is also almost back and surely if those two are playing it doesn’t leave much room for Alvarez in the team do we go back to what we saw last year where

He play plays Alvarez or de bruyne and suddenly Alvarez just has to go for everyone yeah like I don’t know does it just make him completely void again I think it’s a good question like first until 21 until Salah and sun goes away transfers are very precious is

The first thing I I would like to say like let’s say once we get rid of son and Salah and we have money in the bank alvare isn’t an issue whether he gets benched or not CU you can always move alvare on to Holland you know granted the flip side of that

Is there might be a better transfer more optimal transfer elsewhere elsewhere right yeah I think kdb is going to be eased into the team although he is in team training right and I think it can go both ways I because if you look at the preseason Alvarez was in the plans with

Kdb in the team playing together but the only issue that’s arising right now is foden is starting to get his feedback and like starting to find his form so it’s the foden that’s that’s Waring me as well because there’s still doku there’s still Greers there’s so many

Players that can play in that man City team right so if let’s say foden’s form wasn’t there I would be more confident to say he would continue to potentially start alongside kdb but yeah it is definitely definitely a worry whether he’ll continue to get starts with both of them coming back TT

Ironically I sold Alvarez for salanki two weeks ago and I don’t regret that move because I got the 17 pointer in the the six pointer but the beauty of Alvarez right now is that he’s on all the set pieces right he takes Corners he takes free kicks once kdb comes back he

Probably loses that as well so I think yeah from my perspective his appeal probably goes down and like you said Andy I think foden’s kind of finding his feet now a bit more centrally so where does he kind of fit into that landscape if k comes back they all can’t kind of

Play that that 10 role so yeah however as I’m not I’m not kind of rushing to buy and like like we said Salah and son are kind of more priority Sals for 21 right that’s that’s two positions in Midfield that we know we need to deal

With so do we can we afford to make another Striker transfer for for potentially one or two weeks I’m not sure about that but Harry are you tempted to bring in a city acid for this game week not not really I mean of course I’m tempted to have a city asset against CHF

United but I’m not tempted based on what it does like for my team because that spot like I’d have to bring them in for Archer it’s about the only spot I mean I could do like Gordon to foden like I could do that but I just don’t think it

Massively benefits my team like going forward like my plan at the moment is Gordon to Bowen and like I don’t think buying foden for one week before going to Bowen is a better move like i’ just rather that extra transfer don’t think it’s worth it so as much as I hate the

Look of that fixture without anyone in my team I just don’t think I’ll own one this week I just don’t think it’s worth it and then like Newcastle away yeah it’s not ideal but Newcastle would have had like almost two weeks rest going into that game like it’s probably the

Worst time to play Newcastle after they’ve finally had a two-e rest like they’ve got Sunland in the cup okay they’ll play maybe a First Choice team because it’s a big game for them like it’s a massive game for the fans but okay they have one game between now and

Like that game so I probably don’t plan on doing it because it’s just one week um and I’ll just have to see how it goes that for that one game yeah and there and there’s some comments um moad is saying be Silva is a sleeper pick like I get all these comments about

Silva being a sleeper pick doku being a sleeper pick you know Gish being a sleeper pick but that that’s just the the game you play with FPL City assets right like it’s anybody can haul at any time you know they’re just the goals are so spread out that it really is a

Mindfield picking out the right players granted you know pep came out with the quotes that we’re trying to get foda nearer to goal he had a bunch of shots from inside the box and those are the things that you know sort of catch my attention but anybody can haul at any

Point at in that City team so it’s really hard to pick out the right midfielder out of them all is what I’d like to say it’s true but Bernardo Silvera is 6.4 and he just plays all the time and what’s he on now like where five goals

For like nine returns this season at 6.4 like he is going a little bit under the radar given he’s missed what’s that one two he missed four games early on because of injury so that’s off like what 14 games he’s got nine returns that’s pretty good for an asset at that

Price especially like when the double comes around like maybe it’s worth you know looking at him a little bit more detail because unlike foden unlike the others I feel like Bernardo Silva is going to play every week so I feel like I get more security of minutes with him

And like you know we know the player that Bernardo Silva is the quality that he’s got so I don’t know I feel like Bernard like sorry no I was going to say this Sheffield game feels like a prime Bard silver game it’s just going to be low block set up right from Sheffield

Who’s going to unlock that defense they’re going to look to either but or foden I think I’m very seriously considering it this week what B one of the two or foden one of the two yeah yeah but money is an issue right like why why why is all of a sudden 6.4

Being the yeah that yeah like I’d rather have Al ven over Bernard Silva all day every day yeah unless you you really believe his minutes are secure moving forward I mean he’s surely the most secure of them all but when when Holland and de Bry come

Back Bernardo Sila is the most secure of all of them I mean out of all the cheap ones not necessarily including harand and de bruy but if you then include foden Alvarez Bernardo when everyone’s back sh Bernardo is the most secure but maybe I’m I’m seeing him being secure

Because they’re not here at the moment but he’s like so good for them I can’t see him being dropped but or rested better to say but yeah I think it’s worth looking at for this week um it’s one of those that because because money isn’t a thing like I’ll just buy Bowen

Instead of Bernardo um but if money was a factor then I think we’d maybe be looking at him a bit more great okay on this note I think we should tackle on a potential Wild Card 20 for those that may may be on it as we were talking

About this Halland topic Harry and we have the a you know just one wild cart 20 template team and not template wild cart 20 team and I think it’s really really unfortunate what’s happened to these late wild holders because they have some big decisions to make you know and this

A lot of it relies on whether Holland does come back in 21 then potentially you’re looking at a minus 4 unless you keep you know 8.9 million in the bank you have to lose Salo against Newcastle this week and even though that sounds good on paper Salah is in amazing form

And you know they could really do a damage against Newcastle as well sorry TT so it’s a very confusing week to do a wild card I feel for you guys but at least we should touch on this base for the few that may may have it um do you

Want to sort of read out this team and and your thoughts Harry yeah let me let me grab it and then I will read out so yeah when if your wild carding this week has turned into a little bit of a nightmare I have to admit to people playing

It because as Andy said like you either pick Harland and you bench him but if you pick Harland then you can’t own son Salah Trent like it’s almost impossible the rest of your team you lose out so much of the rest of your team which on

Wild card you don’t want to do so you either drop Salah or you drop harand if you drop Harland you either invest all the money and then risk it being a minus four the week after wild carding to get Harlem back or you decide that you’re not going to own him in game

Week 21 all of which are not like none of them are ideal none of them you really want straight after wild card but the team that I put together is based off that you would do you’d buy Harland like it doesn’t have Salah in it um and

This is the team I would I would have and then you can kind of make your decision where you spend the money so the base of this team is arola debka I still think think they rotate nicely I still think the Newcastle fixures look coming up are good I still think arola

Is decent at his price like I could go to Riot but I’ve already got Gabrielle in there I I could go to pford but the fixures are not that great so I have stuck with the two Trent porro Gabrielle then I’ve gone conza and I’ve gone Gusto

Feel like Gusto point1 over the likes of Charlie Taylor just feels like a no-brainer at the moment as your fifth option then in Midfield you’ve got Bowen son sacka Co Palmer with garu in at the moment and I’ll talk about that with Watkins salanki and the moment it’s in kunu

But what this draft has money in the bank to do so for me it has 9 million in the bank you can either do garnacho to Salah or you can do Inu to Harland so it’s kind of depending on how you want to play the next few weeks so this is a

Nice base but I probably wouldn’t wild card with 9 million in the bank I would spend it either on salarin for garnacho or I would spend it on going you know in kungu to harand having Harland ready for the gameweek 21 and K you could go Alvarez in there

Right you could go Alvarez this week and then do Alvarez to Harland with the money in the bank next week as well I just quite like the next two for Chelsea luten and then Fulham so I thought inku looked pretty good the past couple as well but yeah I’m not saying leave 9

Million in the bank I’m saying this is what I would wild card to with one change depending on how you want to play the Wild the Holland situation any comments DT yeah yeah I like the draft I think maybe just Keepers that’s not really a stand out keeper we’re 20 game weeks

Later and there isn’t anyone that’s screaming pick me so I think you close your eyes you pick the two cheapest ones to play and just hope for whatever you can every week so I think that’s fine defense I think really solid I like the Gusto pick I think that’s he’s by far

Now The Stand Out fifth Defender like 4.1 is it is a bargain and I think now ree James has got this now recurring injury he’s had surgery he’s not going to be rushed back so I think custo is a pretty safe pick for the next few um

It’s just a real shame because you’ve almost got planned transfers here haven’t you you can’t really capitalize on anyone so I guess like you said Harry the the play here is to probably punt on one or two picks for the next few weeks and then like you said kind of play by

It once we get the information to jump onand all your replacement when you need to I don’t think if you wild card this week you go harand early because there there’s not enough information to say he’ll be back anytime soon so doesn’t make sense toli that money now and I

Think like you said you can go elsewhere with an Inu for one or two weeks and then make that move later so I think it’s a good draft um just kind of with the next few weeks in mind it’s it’s almost impossible to Wild Card this week without booking in transfers at least

Two because like son Salah and no Harland like that’s already three moves that you practically got a book in it’s possible to deviate from maybe not having on not having Salah or starting with Harland but you can’t negate all three of those issues if you wild card

This week which is why it is turned out in the end to be such a difficult week to build a wild card draft for the the goalkeeper in defense picks itself for me Palmer and probably Bowen pick themselves Watkins and Tanki is kind of the son sacka third forward and in here

Garnacho spot that I just have no idea how to set them up so you’re not selling Sun before bommer for home are you either no well exactly yeah I think uh I think by the way this this draft obviously was made super quickly right so I’m sure you know

People have thought about it in more debt uh Harry so it’s just one example I think personally speaking I would definitely have Ryan goal um because I think you can get up to five to six very decent Defenders that you can move around or pick between between the five or

Six and just play that game against arola and du braa I think also I would go heavy on City assets because I I I know it’s hard to pick who to go for but this is really sort of a very interesting period where you can get ahead of people and still

Have the main picks but people are going to be scrambling the next few weeks and when you have game weeks 20 to 24 being amazing run for City I feel like you need to take advantage of that run so that that would be just my two cents there is to try to

Get one or two or potentially three City assets of Interest then like who who are you picking I I thought the same but then I was like I have no idea who I’d buy like maybe I buy Alvarez maybe I upgrade gacho to foden but then you’re

Having to Ben like then I’m benching like salanki or you know someone else every week so it’s not easy so if you were wild carding like who would the three city that you try and buy be garnacho would be foden and cucko would be Alvarez and I would have

Potentially Walker or whoever is the most likely to continue to play every week Defender is instead of I don’t know kza probably Fair comment you’re basically saying Pile in on this Sheffield United game I’m saying Pile in on the game weeks 20 to for and yeah

Yeah yeah and just know that you’ll have a deep bench just in case like it doesn’t work out you know yeah but the the biggest go ahead go ahead well I yeah I I I get it the only thing with like the argument of having a deep bench is like these

Players come off the bench anyway I hate the city defense I watch them play and they just they don’t seem to care it’s really weird they change the back four every single week and it’s like they don’t have like the coercion where it’s the same people every week where they

Want to fight for that clean sheet for each other like you see other teams I just don’t quite understand why pep hasn’t sorted it out it feels like a major downfall this season for them how much they’ve leaked goals their defensive data is some of the best if

Not I think it’s top two if not top but they just don’t like they no clean sheets there like Walker is 5.3 million I have no idea what I’m paying for for 5.3 like no clean sheet well okay some clean sheet potential no attacking threat it

Seems with him at the moment they’re all very low maybe maybe maybe I I got too ahead with the defense but certainly I think agree foden I think I would consider getting foden and Alvarez and just know Alvarez is your placeholder for for Holland when he does return

Yeahh yeah Fair the defense is a difficult one because if they do get a double and we’ll suddenly all want them right which is why some people are going Edison which I still can’t quite I believe we’re already going back to Edison but um I get it like I understand

Why like the data the fixtures are all there but from a like practical point of view I don’t think I could do it okay fair the just on this one other player sort of on wild card but just generally to talk about is is sacka now the next

Four fixtures are really nice and if you own sacka you’re definitely not selling him but if you were on wild card would you still own sacka I didn’t know whether thought I might swap him and do odard instead um I just not massively been well I’ve not been impressed by

Sacka from an FPL point at all over the past probably what month or so maybe longer would you stick with sacka because the ownership is there and you know what he can do or would you go like elsewhere you could go you know sacka to fodm for example you could go sack to

Odard as well TT Saka is just one of those picks I’m exactly the same view as you Harry I just haven’t been impressed with him at all but I haven’t had any reason to sell him because he just ticks over right there’s there’s no one else kind of

Screaming to pick me either so we’re kind of in that situation like I said we’re selling Salah selling son most people if you don’t own saki probably go there anyway um yeah and Arsenal aren’t blowing teams away but it all it takes is a goal and assist

And then you know maybe our our minds change it’s I I just think the consistency is there if it was me i’ I’d have both on wild card I’d have Saker and to God it’s a good question it’s a very good question I mean we we’ve seen the

Odard stats RI Rising the past few game weeks but it would be very hard for me to drop Saka for odard I feel like it’s a it’s a very close one you know and any given week it could be Saka again so not sure

I would make that move but I I do like the double up move um and definitely odard someone I’m considering potentially except the fact that I have to double Arsenal defense and I think a lot of people should consider potentially going to odar after you drop son orala in

21 I mean odard picked up three bonus in that Liverpool game I think that says a lot to me about he’s very his potential for the next U yeah and especially the home games that those are the games I’ll be looking over God to think right there’s some there

Some potential for some hes here um so yeah I’m very keen on God for the next few okay fair um nice on that note oops oops oops oops sorry guys let’s go to let’s talk about midfielders a little bit Yeah potential replacements for Sun and and Sala coming up

Probably not this week but then the week after right so I don’t know usual suspects Saka Palmer foden Charis Bowen jotto on our minds garnacho now Douglas Louise I have sort of a sleeper pick as well tell me where your Hat’s at um Harry um I mean for

Me Bowen will be first I’m pretty certain B is my like if I was wild carding Bowen would be the first midfielder on my wild card he is still so focal to what they’re doing he’s on 11 goals this season already continuing to look really yeah really good the only

Thing is with kudus going to afcon does it make them weaker as a team but yeah right now Bowen would be first I’m now suddenly wondering about odard now that we’ve had that conversation a about doubling up cuz I I have a spare Arsenal slot cuz I don’t have the double defense

Um so I could do like Salah to Bowen son to odard and still have the money to go and buy s buy Harlem back so that’s potentially one to look at as well but Bowen for me like is is straight at the top me tit but I luckily have Bowen already but

I completely agree with what you said Harry I think he’s he just epitomizes consistency right he’s he’s not M he’s like not a massive hauler but the form he’s in right now he’s like you say he’s already on 11 goals and and the thing we talked about with the other teams like

City and Arsenal is whoever like if they score four goals you don’t know who’s scoring in that team but with West Ham if I see a goal for West Ham I know either Bowen or cudas or p is going to be involved more often than not that’s

Going to be the case I just like knowing that the goals are going to come from a handful of players and B is just so pivotal to everything that they’re doing right now so I think Bowen is is very much no Brer for me I think richison is

The one I’m going to try prioritize and we can maybe talk about a bit more what you guys think but with Madison close I just feel like he’s just going to be very very consistent now for minutes we’ve always kind of been a bit worried about rison’s minutes but I

Think he’ll be a lot more secure now I think kulu’s really stepped up and he’s helped kind of the output for richison but as much as rison’s a bit of a streaky player he’s also very much what’s said you said you said kudu stepped up and helped oh sorry Kulu Kulu

Oh coolu sorry I have that’s my fa K Co um if Madison comes back that front for I think there’s there’s not too much loss there with s going so I’d feel quite confident with kind of Brennan I’d still feel quite confident with Brennan Kulu and and Maddie kind of

Sitting in behind richar H these guys are underestimating the power of sun man and I know keep going keep going but I mean you just can’t look past a midfielder playing out position and he just sits in the Box he in the box and he shoots and that’s about it he doesn’t

Do a lot but he’s just a goal scorer so why you smiling why you smiling it’s just it’s just that he says he just he just sits in the box and he shoots doesn’t often shoot very well that’s the only thing he doesn’t shoot very well but um I think he’s he’s

Slowly finding a bit of form and I think an trusts him more now so I feel more comfortable picking him so he will be one of prioritize I’m probably God as well yeah I I agree but I do worry a little bit about Spurs without son a

Little bit good man like I do we know when Madison’s back because for for gameweek 20 they’ll have son gameweek 21 they will have neither Madison or son I don’t think we’re expecting Madison back 22 at the earliest which is a little bit of a concern like that Spurs team with a

Front four of richison Brennan kulis with maybe Lelo in Midfield like that just doesn’t scream productivity to me I like it a lot but I’m just cautious of going there straight away until I see what they’re like without those two key assets or we get an update on Madison IDE if we knew

Madison was back at a certain point in time I’d probably I’d probably go him I’d probably wait and maybe just go for him straight away over Charon there’s a couple of things here at play for Spurs I I feel right first I mean the obvious is Sun Sun being gone and

That he makes everybody’s lives easier with him being on the left or up top right what when he was up top he was the number one pressing attacker in the Premier League by the way when he moves left he creates space for everybody else cuz he brings attention to the left

Right poro on the right son on the left but also Romero is out for 5 to 6 weeks this team revolves around a spine of vdv Romero you know basuma Madison there’s these key players that this team needs in order for them to function at their fullest or else it’s

Sort of a mixbag granted they’ve been doing really well recently right and today’s matchup is going to be super fun by the way Brighton and Spurs are both top of the league in terms of touches within the their halves so they know you guys know how they play right they bre

They keep you know building up from the back bringing the opponent closer closer and then they they build up right so there’s a few players that’s going to be essential for them to operate at full capacity and I do think that some being out will make Richardson’s life

Definitely harder even though he’s a o position player in FPL and someone that I’m very interested in getting don’t get me wrong right but definitely there should be a little bit of caution is is what I would like to say uh in Y how do you feel about the others I

Know the thing is is like because of the value aspect and we don’t need the money you would just go with charl and over someone like Brennon Johnson but I do like Brenan Johnson a lot I think he’s 5.9 isn’t he 5.8 um I think he’s looked

Really good and looks like again while son’s out he looks very nailed so because the value is not a thing you know I’d probably pay theill more for richison but I think he’s definitely got to be in the conversation because I feel like he’s more proven long term than

Richison has been as do we know anything about his injury because he went off early didn’t he against Forest do we know if that’s maybe an issue he is quite injury prone is is the first thing I like to say and also when sun leaves Brennan Johnson moves to the left most

Likely right and Kulu sort of shifts to the right is my thinking but Kulu is also very effective in that sort of let’s call it right side half space role where he’s operating as a second Shadow Striker let’s say so it’s going to be very interesting how a a sort of

Remodels this project once sun go goes and and so maybe Harry you’re right we should just be a little bit cautious about where to go for so richardon is just I think the safer pick over Johnson because we know he’s going to be up top and closer to the goal yeah maybe I’m

More bullish on Spurs but I think after the Madison injury obviously everyone was concerned about how would how would spurs’ style of play and how would their output change I don’t think much has changed to be honest that still was attacking as ever and that mentality says to me that regardless of whoever’s

Fit or whoever is injured yeah the output might drop slightly but all they’re looking to do is attack and I just want a piece of that basically always and and they’ve only got one game a week it’s fair it’s a fair comment yeah okay um anyone yeah anyone else you guys think that’s

Interesting the one I was also slightly thinking about and I know we’ve got G in that draft but maybe United is could be a thing again it could be a thing again and Fernandez is always the one that comes to mind he’s always the one that

Comes to mind if he’s not handing away penalties I don’t mind it I actually don’t mind it I had a quick look at the fixtures they don’t look too they’re pretty good they’re pretty good yeah dude I’m with you I’m with you TT I think Bruno Fernandez is an intriguing option and I

Can’t wait to see the see the comments here I’m interested to see what people think but okay first of all United have not won a game in their last four games or three Premier League games until this Aston Villa game let’s let’s get that out out there right they’ve been pretty

right but I think what makes Bruno intriguing is the return of Ericson right and what the return of Ericson does is that while Erikson was missing Bruno went deeper into that holding role because there’s no create mctom cannot create and bring it up so they put mctom

Up top and put um Mino and Bruno a little bit lower right now that Erikson’s back you get Bruno in that cam roll right a little bit more more forward you got rashford hyber hland and garnacho Speedy Wingers Speedy attackers where now Bruno is here to make the more

Killer passes can drop deeper when whenever he needs to to build up but doing less dropping deep because Erikson’s there and can focus on being that sort of killer past Madison role right so I think there’s something here and I don’t think it’s a terrible shout

Harry I do do not think it’s a terrible shot because of the return of Erikson is what i’ like to say okay thoughts I I was going to say I get it I don’t get it I just I just I thought you might say that I just like we went there

I went there I went there with rashford I went there with Bruno at the beginning of the season and it went so horribly wrong I just like why am I paying 8 million for this guy absolutely no chance I’d rather rather buy garnacho than Bruno I think garnacho might

Outscore Bruno let alone the value difference between the two I just not paying 8 million for Bruno it’s just like there’s literally no chance that I do it you’ve got Bowen you’ve got sacka you’ve got odard you’ve got richison like I’d picked Pascal gross before I pick um Bruno up Pascal gross is

Probably worth mentioning as well but yeah I understand it because like his data is better when Erikson’s there but yeah I mean I just can’t see myself doing it yeah yeah I mean I I probably nobody will go there but it’s just intriguing right let’s just let’s just

Just something to throw out there right just something to throw out there yeah yeah what do we think on one final name I don’t know if he’s on this list he’s right down at the bottom of it but is Pascal gross um the fixtures coming up

For them are very nice he has continued to be very consistent in terms of his returns he’s got five returns in his last five starts and their fixtures after this week West Ham wolves Luton Palace Spurs shef United Everton like Fulham Forest like it is a really nice

Run and he’s just consistent and he’s on penalties When J Pedro is not on the pitch the only thing with that is with the injuries they’ve got J Pedro might just have to start he might just always have to be on the pitch now which is not

Great for gross and penalties but he’s always the player every season that is really consistent for Brighton that we never pick I like it a lot because because of their fixtures are so good you know and I’ve been looking for a a Brighton asset so yeah I don’t mind it

At all how about yourself Titi yeah I’m I’m right there with you I feel like whenever we talk about Brighton they always seem to have a good fixure on it’s this good fixure on seems like it’s been happening since game week 10 but it’s just the injuries for me

It’s there’s no Moma I don’t know did a d get injured yesterday as well it’s did the squad is just so thin right now um and like you said Harry if J Pedro has to play every week he’ll probably take prity on the pens and that’s probably a

Lot of gross’s appeal but again he’s just a very consistent asset so yeah he’s won no one ever picks but maybe this is the time we go there I remember I picked him for like three game weeks at the start of last season where he was banging in goals um

Yeah but then I haven’t picked him since is that any way he maybe plays a bit more advanced with the injuries I mean we can find out tonight right like yeah yeah let’s see what happens tonight it’s I’m I’m I’m you know firmly going to be watching off for Brighton AES tonight so

Definitely guys if if you’re not aware their their fixtures are really really good so yeah longterm as well yeah okay I think Midfield was good discussion just a few forward options we want to talk about let’s not talk about sanii and and Watkins and Holland so anyone else outside that

And cuckoo I think is we do you thinkz we talked about like the only thing on anunu is like the fixures are now right luttin and Fulham in the next two like if we’re waiting we’re going to miss it true he he looks really good he does look

Good I me quite pleased as a Chelsea fan watching him play um and with Sterling and Cole Palmer coming back in I’m not necessarily going there myself but I can understand if I was looking for like if I was looking for a fordward now would I buy Alvarez with chea United

At home Newcastle away or would I buying kungu luten away bulam at home head says maybe the one fixture for Alvarez is better but you if you if we’re not getting if we don’t get Harland to 22 then I think Inu is definitely he’s

Got to be he’s got to be in with a look in doesn’t kungu go to that Striker R I’m guessing when Jackson goes away to afon yes I I think so I mean it might be broer but I hope it’s Inu but then inu’s been pretty good in the 10 so right yeah

Yeah he has been really good there so he might stick stay with him there and just play broer out front um I think you’re right if you go there you go there now it’s just whether we’re comfortable his Fitness is up to speed for him to play like the minutes

Consistently yeah um but I think he’s a good pick the other one I was potentially thinking about was Kya but then I think you just go hang right but hang’s also there going he’s gone if you’re going cheap you just go you just go Chris Wood don’t

You no braer like I’m not actually joking because it’s a great it was a great hatrick by the way um it was trick yeah I’m not meaning to to rub it in but under new the new management they’re playing almost a front two he’s got five

Returns in two games the fixures are not great but you know he’s going to play and yeah I I like I wouldn’t go for like a CA like a mateta or an Edward when I got like I’d probably just go to chriswood I think I just would skip the

Money and just go to the op yeah yeah new manager bounce too it’s a real thing right y it is M yeah the and but dude Harry as a Chelsea fan I don’t know how you’ve dealt with watching Jackson did you did you see his touches it’s

Uh I mean un unbelievably bad right like yeah do you remember when we all took hits to unbelievable yeah I do remember that too but the the guy’s got seven goals this season he’s the ninth highest scorer in the league but he he had he had a bunch of goals in

One game I believe I mean he’s also the highest freaking XG it was the Spurs hattick right yeah he’s probably got the most big chances of all all players of all time in history right just ridiculous ridiculous first touch I don’t know I think that’s what’s more

Frustrating he’s kind of like the Darwin kind of energy that the chances are there it’s just there’s no trust that he’ll put them away right it’s yeah dude it’s ridiculous I don’t know how you deal with that stuff like yeah like the finish the finish yesterday

That he missed I was oh God shouting at the tell yesterday luckily we won otherwise that video would have been everywhere yeah and then I saw inuka come on I think it was the previous game and it it anduku looked like just he was probably just playing normal

Football but he looked like ridiculously that much better just because of the difference in in quality you know which is I’m looking forward to just seeing like Palmer with and kungu because our creativity suddenly goes through the roof with both of them on the pitch so

Yeah let’s see I mean I wouldn’t buy Jackson but of course but yeah and kungu is I feel like he’s he’s on radar now yeah definitely one final name is there any love for Jesus for you guys yeah maybe depends on men security yeah yeah I’ve got nothing to to put me

Off um and actually he looks better than I’ve seen him in previous times at Arsenal over the past few like I thought he was pretty good against Liverpool as well um the first half in particular he scored against Brighton like yeah fine I don’t have

Room for him in my team and if I was taken a twoe punt before going to Harland like I would go Inu or I would go Alvarez but like he’s a good he’s a better longterm hold I think than than maybe there’s others I agree I think

That’s what we probably hold people back buying him if you’re on a double defense and a sacker you’re not going there and if you maybe have a spare Arsenal slot you’ve already got a Defender and a midfielder I’d probably go odard over he issue with think he’s a fine pick issue

With Jesus is that I think the optimal front three is Holland Solani and Watkins personally I I just think solun is a really good option long term as well right yeah I would prefer to just get that second Arsenal mid slot because we’re looking for players like let’s say

Bowen and odard replaces sun and Salah and you already have Saka in place the other two would be Palmer and I don’t know who the other one rich charison potentially so it makes a very optimal kind of eight I don’t know if you can afford it all with Holland but I’m sure

With the solid Sun money you can right so yeah I’m not sure I would spend that spot on a minut risk Jesus I don’t know if he’s minutes risk but there’s always Ena lurking in behind right yeah yeah okay any other Strikers to mention no I think so got

It okay guys um oh please do hit the like button there’s a lot of viewers Merry Christmas to you all uh happy holidays and hopefully happy New Year soon um do subscribe to FF Scout do give FPL TT FPL TT a follow on Twitter um obviously a great friend

Of mine good guy Newcastle fan um and overall just a good FPL manager as well I I think you had a marvelous season last year TT right or the season before it was the season before I got top 10K but last season was it was okay it was

Like 45k yeah well I like the way you play I think you’re you’re you have you’re very firm with your own decisions and a lot of times I lean on you as well for close calls and I know that FP Harry also respects you a lot as a manager so

Um yeah keep doing you man than guys also a lot of familiar faces in the chat sorry Terry um want to give a couple shout outs go ahead I was going to talk FPL so you go first um yeah so FPL fellow good to see you there’s a guy called FPL Korean

Punter which is great uh IBK good to see you and FPL chai I do want to give chai a shout out um I think he’s top 20 in the world or something like that so um that’s great to see the community the Twitter Community doing well as well so um

Yeah sorry get going back to fpl gameweek 21 a return of a certain striker in Ivan Tony will have his first game back on the 20th of January at home to Nottingham Forest he’ll be straight back in that forward conversation BF crying out they’re crying out for attackers aren’t they I

Think everyone about bford yeah this guy is yeah I I feel like we forget how good he was last good he is yeah yeah you think he just walks into this like not obviously team but walks into the form straight away I mean he is training right it’s

Not like he’s been injured he’s just been playing football in his back Garden for six months so I think I don’t know I don’t think he goes straight back in to being as good as he was but yeah I think we’ll be looking at him the fixtures are not

Great is the only thing they play Forest at home but then it Spurs City wol away Liverpool West Ham Chelsea Arsenal like they’re not great but after that from gameweek 29 to the end of the season they have a really good run and Ivan Tony will firmly be back on the menu and

It changes what brenford is like for a fixture for other teams as well because right now like I’m quite happy playing my players against brenford because there’s noo they’ve got no Tony but from gameweek 21 onwards I think that changes mentality a little bit for Defenders against brenford because with him back

Yeah they become a much better side again obviously Fair okay we have Harry’s team up here um for game week 20 um you have a 442 arola and gold Trent poro Gabrielle tripier Salah Sun Saka Palmer Watkins sanii on the bench Gordon Archer Taylor youve bench duka captain on Salah which is

Interesting yeah talk to me yeah so basically I my plan is to make a transfer which means I bench Trent uh Ben Trent bench trippier so I will do like it might be Gordon to Bowen or it might be Archer to someone like Inu or Alvarez but it will basically be one

Transfer which means I bench triple Newcastle this week and probably the same next week as well but cuz I do as I said at the beginning like I do fancy holding them until their pictures get better so right now probably Gordon to um Bowen is probably the predicted

Transfer for Brighton at home um is where I’m looking arola I’m happy to see him back in that West Ham goal the fixtures over the next three are good while de bra like the rotation between Deka and arola is so good for the whole season every single week you have a

Decent fixture that’s why I went with both of them on wild card um so I’m quite happy with that my team’s like fine for this week um it’s just how much damage I think City will do to me really if I don’t own any of them nice have you got one or two

Transfers this week Hur two two two yep yeah okay good good good I I like it have you considered the the alvare move at all Archer Alvarez yeah the only thing with archer Alvarez is then if Harland is backing game week 21 you know then I’m forced into starting my Newcastle players against

City next week it just I mean it is at home so like I could play Gordon at home to City it’s not the end of the world but like I’d rather not do that if I could um so although it might make my team better this week I think it weakens my team

Next week okay next we have uh TT’s team um you have a 352 arola and go kza poro CBA Salah Captain C son Saka Bowen Palmer Watkins sanii trippier first on the bench Bell and Archer with Leno as your bench keeper once again solid Captain C W you

Guys have no doubt about this captaincy anyways oh believe me and I’m I’m in everything right now yeah but I mean I think I have a lot of questions but first of all go go ahead um talk to me about your team and then I think because you’re a Die Hard Newcastle fan

Like give us the you know black and white take on on solid captaincy versus Newcastle yeah the way I see this game playing out it’s not good for us at all really like Liverpool is very much a bogey team I don’t know I mean I don’t know if you can call Liverpool bogey

Team but we struggle like a lot against Liverpool so I’m very much expecting this game to go one way and one way only and that’s in Liverpool’s favor um it’s the way we looked very open against Forest worries me and I think that’s mainly down to Joe

Linton I think not having Joe Linton in that Midfield like that’s just not the same structure with Bruno Miley and long staff long staff’s not quite been there um since he got injured Miley still very young like he’s he’s got a lot to learn in his game um and Bruno is not a

Natural defensive six he’s he’s good kind of sitting in so that’s what a lot of the work Joe Linton does as as the eight he just kind of bombs up and down box to box right so if Joe linton’s fit I’d feel a little bit more confident

That we can kind of hold it down a bit more but I’m very worried for this game and that’s kind of why I’ve just defaulted to Salah for captaincy I think there’s going to be go in this game and it could just it could be a blood barath

Um but son I think is also there Bournemouth they’re playing really well but Spurs at home you always fancy them this is Son’s last game before he goes away so I may think about a possible song captaincy I don’t know where you are Andy but I I do I do like the idea

Of that I’ve got two transfers this week so I’m I’m really not sure I could go I could go so many different ways um I could get Trent in I could just burn a transfer do Bel to Gusto for example I might look at a foden or an

Alvarez but then I’m like who do I sell in that Midfield I think I want to keep all those midfielders right now um so yeah I’m a little bit confused this week to be honest I don’t know if you guys have any suggestions but that’s kind of where I’m

At wow very pessimistic about this about this Newcastle game um yeah dude yeah Harry any comments my first re my first reaction was tripier to Trent but if you do that who on Earth are you going to bench like feel like that just would you would you bench salanki away

At Spurs like what like that I think it makes your life harder by doing that like you’d probably yeah bench coner like you would probably just play the numbers and bench the least attacking of your Defenders and bench coner so that being said like I don’t massively think it’s it’s worth it

So like if that was your team and you had one transfer you would 100% rle so that’s why I look at the Bel to Gusto move and I quite like it yeah that’s what I was thinking tripier to Trent because I’m not realistically I’m not playing Trent I’m

Tripier for the next three weeks and then I can come back to him if I need him yeah you have sorry you have two free transfers again or or just one I do yeah two yeah yeah yeah I would definitely go tripier to Trent I feel you’re going

To it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter I mean you figure I think it will be but you you’ll need him you’ll need him in the long run you know you know what I mean he does look back to his like best best yeah you’re you’re going to need

Him in the long run and you need two trans two free transfers next week so anyways everybody has think there’s any way you yeah I don’t think there’s any way you bent toany right especially with Romero and as well yeah if Romero’s out you don’t like he um was Spurs last year

That he got me my 17 points I think it was a goal and two assists um oh it’s like the it’s like the jummy one Harry yeah that was that I don’t know what you’re talking about that was the week that rashford was of course like was

Ruled out um and I got slanky off my bench but um it was away at Spurs before every pod um when we set up Harry always says hey by the way do you know I got 1 points from Solani last season every single episode so it’s a staple now yeah

But yeah soani has been excellent yeah good setup good team okay I have a 442 again arola poro Trent CBA Gabriel Sun Captain C Saka Palmer Salah sanii Watkins Vice Captain I just put it on Watkins for now but I’m pretty convinced I’m going to do sun Captain C I think

It’s the right time I don’t think there’s a stand up uhhuh you Sur you really surprise us by Captain son this week no I I don’t I don’t like I’m pretty relatively play it safe with the captaincy I just think that you should always pick the player that gets the

Most points but at the same time that there’s tough weeks to decide and I try to like think of it as a 38 you have 38 eight picks throughout the season right and if you’re always going differential like for the sake of going differential I I think in the long term

The mean doesn’t work out it’s it’s a crazy way of thinking but I I do think that sun Captain against Portmouth is at home screams goals so I’m very convinced I’ll go there this week is is my thinking yeah I think he’ll be the most Captain player this week potentially

Yeah overa I’d be surprised I think people will play the fixture again and Salah and Salah blanking this week for everyone I think people will move off him if Salah would got a return this week then maybe but if son does anything tonight I think I think he’ll be number

One yeah that’s also a good point Andy that’s actually that’s good you you’ve kind of kind of helping me steer away from Sal I’m finding an excuse not to Captain s basically well I’m so I’m so surprised that both of you are so convinced that Salah is the

Captaincy against Newcastle yeah I’m not I’m not massively convinced no me neither yeah yeah who who else do you think I’m also trying to go with my head and so yeah who else do you think is a popular captaincy shout like Watkins obviously yeah Watkins against Burnley yeah that’s that’s an interesting

One interesting one yeah I think Watkins could do damage against Burnley too right like Burnley play a very high line Julie Alvarez I mean I would argue Burnley is yeah Burnley is always probably the the best fiction now right out of the kind of promoted teams yeah Alvarez yeah that’s very

Interesting if you’ve got Alvarez he has to be right like he has to be right up there he has to be in there yeah now we know he’s on pens as well when harland’s not there yeah that adds another dimension yeah I agree yeah oh so by the way my transfer

I have two free transfers um I can’t remember how much but enough in the bank so I’m looking at a city asset whether that be Archer to Alvarez or Gordon to foden um I kind of want to go for it I know people are going to say that oh you you

Talked about like them being a Minefield like I’m talking about that in as a general like yes that’s true but like voden is a good pick I feel like right he’s in for you know Holland’s missing right it’s got the fixture close to goal 13 shots

From inside the box I believe so yeah I just think foda might be a decent pick but maybe the safe play would be to go early and go rich charlon or Bowen as Harry’s doing cool cool we’ve been hour and a half pod has it’s been very long Okay so perfect

Thank you guys oh we have some super chats we definitely need to do no more no more Super chats please um do you have it Harry I don’t have it with me I can try and get them um let me see if I can get them uh with me where am I going

So just loading yeah thank you so Pinocchio you’re on wild card and you’re protected from price increases no am I protected from price increases what happens if I sell a player you’ve made money on for example CRA Gabrielle so your wild card is still impacted by price changes if you sell a

Player um and buy them back you’ll have to pay the you’ll lose money right so if you sell CBA for or sell Gabrielle for 4.9 and then he’s 5 million you’d have to pay more for him than you bought him for um thoughts on when to use free hit

Or bench boost I mean there’s going to be doubles in gameweek 20 game we 25 to gameweek 37 there’ll be enough blanks and doubles that I’ll be saving all my chips for then I we haven’t had it confirmed exactly when they’re going to be yet I don’t think yeah nothing yet I

Think on that one so I think like you said latter end of the season for CH cool uh Nunes and Gordon out to foden Alvarez for a hit but I would need to bench salanki so is Nunes and Gordon to pH Alvarez to bench lanky worth a hit or would you

Just do one of them like Nunes to Alvarez and then just play lanky I wouldn’t be benching slanky no not for a hit I think I’ll just do one yeah not for a hit i’ i’ do I just do one I’ll do that over move if you f

To cool and the final one is from K he sent in his whole team and just asked what should he do his team looks pretty similar says Gabrielle Trent porro then salson bow and sakaa which I think is the same as utt with Watkins salanki I

Think he’s got the same team as youart he’s got Gabrielle with archer Fabian Sher and Charlie Taylor on the bench with one free transfer I mean one transfer you’d probably roll if you’re in a situation one free this week I’d roll the only one is share but you don’t

Need them this week so I’d probably roll yep cool I think you roll that’s perfect perfect okay guys thank you so much rly happy happy birthday um we will be back um soon give uh TT a follow do like the but uh do like the stream give

FS Scout a follow also guys go tune in to Harry’s own channel for deadline stream as well as V his videos um I keep forgetting to plug that um so thank you very very much enjoy your holidays with your family and we will see you very soon bye-bye

  1. Salah might be a better captain cause he gets plenty of rest between games. Son only gets two days off.

  2. With the type of injury Halaand has, I think it would be risky to buy him back as soon as he's available and I'd like to see him play a game first despite the hurt he could cause 😅

  3. It's going to be very hard to sell both Salah and Son with the money tied up and then try to get back in down the line as well as keeping funds free to bring back Haaland. I will sell Salah in GW21 but I really think I will be keeping Son due to money tied up in him. Transfers over the next 5 GW are going to be crucial. Double up on City attack looks a must though

  4. Weird interuptions & silences.. All unfortunately a bit awkward. Sonaldo needs to develop his comparing skills.
