Yup. Saw that today, that’s on me. Was just enjoying the game last night

A season review specifically looking at his team would be good. Where went well, what he would do differently with hindsight or what was just bad/good luck etc...

I’ll definitely do that when it’s all over!

probably. Never fancied KDB as Foden much cheaper and less mins risk.

@@sleep99PS3 Ok. I already lost all Gvardiol hauls, now I don't know if I must use my 2 FTs in order to bring Gvardiol for GW38...

nice differential but won't play 90.

@sleep99PS3 not 90 mins but high score. how?

Never do that u have wilson or nkunku just wait next match bro

@@AhmedOsama-yq4zz nkunku will likely not get more than 60 minutes tho, same dan be said for wilson. Definetly going to wait for some early leaks/team news and then make my final decision but definitely like the look of Gakpo

Could do that moves without a hit (2FT) + I think I would play Jackson ahead of Isak

@@truefandela I don’t have 2 free transfers

did you go for this in the end?

Would have said Webster if I got to this on time, sorry mate.

I have Ederson and Foden

I hope you didn't take out Gvardiol like we mentioned on stream! What did you go with in the end?

Unfortunately I did to be able to get Haaland 😭🤣

@@Dr.Yazan_Abdulaal ah man. Was it not possible to go through Ederson?

@@FPLFran It was bas never thought about it 😭

hah, why is that.

missed this pre DL but it really depends on who the -4s are for.

what a call on Tross!

I don't look at Onana's total points and make decisions based on that. I am just saying that Onana is living proof that playing for an awful defence is not a hindrance to getting FPL points as a goalkeeper as save points exist, which is exactly what I'm hoping will happen vs ARS/NEW. I would agree with you if you were applying the logic you mentioned to a MUN defender since they don't benefit from saves. The best statistics in FPL to pay attention to are xG and xA for attackers (people with high xA/90 or high xG per 90) are the most important. I do not really evaluate form, as this is always something that comes with hindsight so I evaluate fixtures. Shots per game is another important one too IMO (as you get FPL assists for rebounds). The only other intangibles to look at are set pieces + penalties. For defenders, it is a mix of shots per game, xGI/90, and their team's xGC relative to peers, and their historic team strength? e.g. last season, etc. Also set pieces as per usual. For GKs I would look at stats like shots allowed (to see if saves are a thing - which Onana's team does a lot and is a huge bonus for potential save pooints), on top of their xGC (which is awful for Onana so a huge negative). But the reason why I am going for Onana (or did in the end), is because Flekken has 2 fewer app points, and was away from home versus a strong team too so I wanted to take a gamble that Gusto with 1 potential start could outscore given that I wasn't that high on Burn who would bee my Gustoo transfer alternative. Sometimes it's also about seeing the alternatives, instead of just looking in a vacuum as I recognise Onana is just a horrendous pick on paper. To evaluate fixtures runs in general I mostly look at teams via their xG and xGC and build a table in my head of how weak or strong teams are on offence or defence - this should be evaluated separately. Home and Away is HUGELY important too in thinking how strong a team can perform or how weak.

A key factor amongst all this is guessing the mins right for players.

@@FPLFran Thank you very much for a thorough and detailed answer. Kind of you to spend your time doing this. I must admit I do disagree with you that form is always something that comes with hindsight. I would claim that if a player has perfomed well several matches in a row there is a high chance of him doing so again. Of course I also consider fixtures difficulty. A player like Foden f.ex. hasn´t really perfomed that well against difficult opposition, while other players might even be the opposite (no names comes to mind at the moment). However if a player seems to do well no matter if the fixture looks easy or difficult I´m less hesitant to pick him than others. I just like having players I don´t have to bench 50% of the matches like f.ex. Gordon ;-)

@@user-fe3xx4nb6m To me though, someone who exhibits good form would usually have good data as well - so it's a bit of a two way street. And if their fixtures get worse I'm a bit more comfortable thinking their form will tail off, exactly as you've given with the Foden example. Whilst it can happen seasonally (e.g. Salah or Son having great seasons vs big teams), the general data trend is better players perform better versus worse teams. This is what gambling odds reflect too

missed this pre DL. Really hope you got to Gvard!

Took two free transfers and am using bench boost

Richarlison is injured though no?

@@FPLFran Noooooooo, is he? Damn

@@YerDaGaming yup - I think a -4 for Johnson is prob the best bet.

@@FPLFran was debating Garnacho v Johnson for ages and decided on the latter during your live stream. Thanks for the heads up on Richarlison 👍🏻

For a free transfer or -4? For free that seems sensible.

@@adamb6683 for free. Which one should I transfer out?

@@adamb6683 for free. Which one should I sell between Lamptey or doughty and why?

Doughty imo - apparently Lamptey can play minutes

@@FPLFran surely I will make the wrong choice regardless who I pick. Classic fpl

prefer Dunk tbh

@@FPLFran okay so option 2 then?

I don't see it being that likely, no.

Yeah, I really can't guarantee Gusto mins imo. I will only hold as I can't -4

@@FPLFran cheers pal

lots of injured ones - you on BB? Re: Maguire probably Hall or Webster

I've never supported them aha, I'm half Spanish and a Madridista

@@FPLFran oh fairs

ooh! best of luck.

Vic, Burn.

Richy injured. Bruno apparently in training, think he's fine

I really can't confirm. Probably have to go Onana

VDV

IMO it's Hall but many disagree with me. It just shows it's a bit unsafe

right but Haalnd has soo much going for him too though no?

@@FPLFran Haaland for sure is the smart pick with a higher ceiling. If I wasn't chasing rank so much I would go for him. There will be goals when he vs TOT but FUL can be solid at home... as opposed to Gordons 2 amazing fixtures. I'm essentially taking a risky gamble and hoping for a big point swing in my favor

Maddison, Salah, Solanke, Gusto

it has to be Johnson time now
