Another consideration for the Haaland dilemma… there’s no guarantee that he’ll be back for GW19/20. It’s very probable but he could aggravate the injury during CWC.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Haaland's injury is just a bone strain and not a fracture. Apparently since Sunday Haaland has been able to walk on his foot without any pain whatsoever
31:30 fantastic charts, so helpful. We also need some idea of the winner odds for each competition - ashamed to say I have no idea how far S.Korea and Egypt are expected to go in these tournaments. Looks like they may be out for at least 3 weeks though.
Based purely on bookie odds Egypt Cameroon and South Korea are both 5th/6th favourites so QF/SF most likely. Japan are big favourites to win the tournament so would expect them to go deep
Trent: I agree with the cost debate. However, Trent is not playing in the same role the last couple of weeks as he had for the rest of the season. He has a tremendous amount of freedom the last couple of weeks. If he continues to play in that role, I suspect he will have more attacking returns.
But if you’re selling Haaland, Salah and Son in 4 GWs and bring Haaland back for Sheffield, how many hits are you willing to take? Doesn’t seem logical to me as number of transfers are quite high
I would go for TAA(already have tripper and porro)he does have tough fixtures but most of them are at home and I'll sell haaland for Watkins then sell salah in gw 20 to bring in haaland then after everyone is back from afcon and asian cup I can do a wild card possibly?
Ive sold Haaland and Guehi for Porro and Solanke. I alreadu had the money ITB to goto Porro and took a -4 for Haaland im betting on him being out for multiple games especially with the new city might be in for a new striker so could be long term?
Help me out who to bench: Saka (H BRI), Salah (H ManU), Son (A NFO), Gordon (H FUL), Palmer (H SHU), Watkins (A BRE), Alvarez (H CRY) and Solanke (H LUT). Big struggle as they all have amazing fixtures
Love watching your streams. Great content, you make fpl so enjoyable especially with such a frustrating season. Keep up the good work and thank you for bringing us joy and amazing content. 😀👍
In kneejerked into a sell because I was going to sell him before the blank anyway (I'm wildcarding in 19) and I figured its just moving the plan up But I'm regretting it a little as I have no playing GK and I'm not sure I can bring myself to the -4. There is some temptation to wildcard earlier then planned but it just feels like it makes more sense to do it in 19 to bring him back then to use it to get rid but Ross has the really good point about Salah being an easish route back to Haaland Very conflicted lol
How likely is isak to play this week now that Wilson is back? Took out Watkins for isak 3 weeks ago, a move I'm regretting badly. Also who should I bench between bowen and alvarez?
I had a plan to bring in Robinson for Andersen 2 GW ago, but then Watkins fake injury apeared and i transfered Watkins to Jesus in last second before deadline.
Haaland: While I love the breakdown of pro/cons of keeping/selling Haaland, I think the issue is more complicated when you consider the unsaid 2 outcomes... you do the wrong or right thing. Meaning, if he is fit and you sell him OR he is hurt and you keep him. And the biggest thing to consider for these 2 additional outcomes is Alvarez. If Haaland doesn't get hurt, I think Alvarez was one of the things Pep was considering of "tweaking" (either a reduced role, new position, etc). But if Haaland is hurt, Alvarez actually might be more valuable than he is currently.
Hey Ross great content m8, can you help, I have two flagged keepers, and already on a -4, Sanchez and Areola can you recommend shall I take a -8 or just leave the keeper this week or goto which keeper was thinking Martinez?
I thinking of Callum Wilson for Haaland replacement (Two weeks). I know he's not nailed option but recent performances of Newcastle and Isak might be promising for Wilson. Maybe Newcastle playing both Isak and Wilson giving some rest for Gordon. Fulham and Luton next.
Hey Ross, still have the WC to play. With the defensive issues a lot of us are facing would you take out Haaland in that position? As it would turn only need 1 transfer to bring him back in
If I had Haaland, I would sell him and bring him back in GW 20. I'm considering a Bournemouth/Fulham asset, but these teams tend to have purple patches and then go back to being shit again. Trippier is a sell for me. I don't think Newcastle are keeping many clean sheets in their next 5 fixtures and Tripper looks jaded.
got leno in instead of dubravka and have not regretted in. if haaland is out, I will sell him for solanke ive got watkins and alvarez already. will roll in 18 if possible and bring him back in 19 with 2 fts and try and bring in another city asset aswell.
Haaland was always out for 18 so why is everyone so eager to sell when technically he only out for 1 unexpected game week - this just seems like a waste of transfers
Did haaland to solanke last night and just kept the money itb so i can get haaland back in gw19 or 20 . Just too hope haaland doesnt start vs crystal palace or if he does he blanks
@@seefoghall Yeah, thinking the same. Other option is Haaland to Solanke (missing 0,3 to get him without Haaland transfer), but as the video mentions, that takes some transfers to be done in the future
Trent's data is a little ahead of the other defenders but this is what irritates me about data. Porro can't take a free kick like Trent. Trippier can't clutch outside the box shots like Trent. He is the truth. This is why 8 mil biggest bargain in FPL history. Watch it unfold, the galactico shall rise. Vamos Trent vamos!
His whole family play and sold him like his sister and that but they may have only done it for one week 🤔 they also all done it in a game he was benched earlier in season lol
@@seefoghall agreed. For me so long as i have the big hitters in my team, the extra points you may/maynot gain by taking out Haaland will be lost when you use extra transfers to bring him back and that assumes you had decent returns over that period.
@@seefoghall I've just heard from FPLFocal that Haaland's father,brother and GF took him out of their teams before the Luton game :( so the injury may be far worse than expected.
Even If Haaland is back for gw19 im ok with not owning him vs Everton.... Im pretty sure i can pick a striker who will out score Haaland+8 points in 4gws... I mean one return and 3 bonus points is 9... You'd be very unlucky not to do better... And GW21 Salah and Son gone easy route back to Haaland
You are mentioning BGW 18 so much. I think BGW 18 is hugely overblown. Nobody should have Brentfort or City players (except for Haaland) at this point anyway, so you would have 1 (or maybe 2 if you haven't sold mbeumo or alvarez yet) players on the bench. That shouldn't be a problem.
I would maybe consider selling him but I also had Darwin in the team and I don't care if he scores 30 points next gameweek, he's out of my team forever
I don’t understand selling Haaland. You’d have to buy him back for more than you paid for him originally. Waste of money and a waste of 2 transfers because you have to transfer him out then back in again.
Ok……Ghoddos is the only omission from the entire list though. I’d say it is more appropriate to include him and provide the entire list than omit him. He has started the last four games for Brentford so is of some relevance.
I already sorted out my Goalkeeper (Areola)... Now I need to sort out my Goalkeeper (Sanchez)... Great!
Another consideration for the Haaland dilemma… there’s no guarantee that he’ll be back for GW19/20. It’s very probable but he could aggravate the injury during CWC.
Very true!
cant sell haaland if you dont own him, ross is playing 4D chess and being one step ahead😂
He’s still making Defender decisions based on clean sheets…… Definitely not a step ahead!
According to Fabrizio Romano, Haaland's injury is just a bone strain and not a fracture. Apparently since Sunday Haaland has been able to walk on his foot without any pain whatsoever

Egypt has played 5 of the last 9 AFCON finals, they are historically the competition's best team and almost always go far.
Egypt and South Korea are both 5th favourites for their tournaments, so QFs or SFs likely at the very least
Your videos are just too good! Big up to Ross!!!

Lol typical dummy
You know someone is serious about FPL when they does a Venn diagram to find out the best possible defenders, I love that.
Hahahaha I am nothing if not a serious manager 🫡
Cash and Palmer are on 4 yellows for me...plan to sell Cash to Pau ahead of 18 though
Hoping that my still intact wildcard is going to help me at GW20. Have sold Haaland for Sloane to partner Watkins
I personally sold Haaland for a hit already. Can’t be playing Archer for two weeks😂
But if you’re selling Haaland, Salah and Son in 4 GWs and bring Haaland back for Sheffield, how many hits are you willing to take? Doesn’t seem logical to me as number of transfers are quite high
It’s easy Erling to solanke done this week cunha to Erling 19 easy
@@fpljosh9661 but that doesn’t evenly distribute the fund for Haaland
Jonny Evans worth having as 5th Defender on a WC? Maguire out injured, and Varane looks back in favour
I would go for TAA(already have tripper and porro)he does have tough fixtures but most of them are at home and I'll sell haaland for Watkins then sell salah in gw 20 to bring in haaland then after everyone is back from afcon and asian cup I can do a wild card possibly?
Taken a -8 for Haarland to Watkins and tripper to poro and mbeumo to Son. Trying to put fires out lol made a mistake taking out son 3 weeks ago.
If you had 4 afcon/asia cup players that need transfers, would you just change the third striker for a -4 and keep haaland to save transfers?
Would you recommend WC if you have Haaland, Trippier, Douglas luiz, Taylor, and Mubama
Jam-packed video ❣
Will definitely be watching this again to consolidate all that info!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I got 3 players on 4 yellow cards 😭 It’s going to be a heart racing game week 😅
Nice video Ross, that is classic Raptor video, we want that.
Thank you!
Would u sell Isak & Tsimikas for Solanke & Porro (-4) ?
Yes obvious decision
Great vid as always mate! Appreciate the effort you put into your content 🙏🔥
I bought Willian for Mbeumo last week and felt like a genius because he scored. Of course he then gets injured immediately 🤣
That’s rough haha
I triple captained Salah hopefully 2 goals incoming as he usually does against United 😮💨

How likely is isak to play this week now that Wilson is back? Took out Watkins for isak 3 weeks ago, a move I'm regretting badly.

Isak will play Vs Milan and then be benched Vs Fulham . 90% certain.
Isak probably won't start since he plays ucl

Gabriel or Saliba ➡️ Porro for a hit or hold double Arsenal defence, eh Ross?
When is haaland going to be back? I have Haaland and Isak but want Watkins. Sell Haaland for Watkins and the buy back Haaland for Isak later on?

Let them do it, means that patient managers will likely save 8 points alone due to the hits everyone else makes in the next 5/4 gameweeks.

Probably selling Haaland to Watkins
Only sheep own halaand and I’m a LION 😤 🦁 🔥
Just due to the need to sell Son+Salah etc + any other injuries from GW 20 onwards, I would rather hold Haaland and save the 2 invalueable transfers.
