I agree with you re Gvardiol, he is being overlooked. He can pop up with a massive return on any gameweek like his 21 & 15 pointers within the space of three gameweeks last season. With Walker and Stones back I expect him to return to his attacking ways.
Great stuff as always. I’ve had the triple up with Haaland, Salah, Saka from the start. With the amount of value enablers around it seemed like the best choice and it has definitely paid off. I was thinking about balancing more my squad and getting rid of one of those premiums to fit players like Mbeumo or Watkins but you have made me double think that for the next few gameweeks haha
Great video as always. I am currently struggling to put forward my 3 defenders this week. Now, I have White, Neco Williams, Robinson, Hall and Barco with 0,6 in the bank and 1FT. Not keen on playing White this week and would therefore appreciate your help on who to bring in.
Thank you very much. Play White this week in my opinion, absolutely play him. Hall to Pinnock (he’s good at set pieces, Spurs aren’t, and fixture run is decent after). But, just keep in mind I think basically all the £4.5m’s are pretty average at best.
Fascinating discussion of Gvardiol. I have been planning to replace Gvardiol with Gabriel in GW6. Your assessment is something I will be thinking about. Might need to go no Arsenal defence if i keep Gvardiol, unless i can shift a few around or move out Trent.
Great video as always! I have a similar team to yours and unfortunately, I'm unable to do Isak > DCL and ESR > Salah as I am 0.3 short. What should I do?
I think I'm going to captain Salah this week. My captaincy head ache for my team is in GW6 though where Salah has Wolves away Saka has Leicester at home and Watkins has Ipswich away. When I get Haaland back into my team GW7 through donwgrading Salah my captaincy will be on Haaland from GW7-GW12 so no worries there just have no clue who I'm going to Captain in GW6 is all.
Another quality video. Apologies for the GW6 question, but here we go: On WC, and not looking to be different for the sake of it, but on your video previous to this you spoke about Bournemouth and their aggression at home. I see that they are in the top 4/5 for xG, think they might just be below Villa, City and Liverpool. Would it be insane to double up, maybe even TRIPLE up for the Southampton fixture? Southampton look rudderless, and a Semenyo/Tavernier could really attack it, and then with carried through transfers, just fade Tavernier then to Schade? A 3-4-3 from GW7 then could be viable with DCL/Vardy etc. (Kerkez would be my thought for the 3rd if I felt really insane! 😂) Apologies again, just wanted to float the idea as I think there could be an opportunity there 👀
Thank you very much Patrick. Please don’t apologise. It’s my pleasure. I like the fact you are thinking in this way, it will help you. By all means go for it, if you really feel like it. But, neither Tavernier nor Semenyo have shown particularly long periods of sustained output. Even if Southampton are poor, they won’t necessarily haul as such. They could DEFINITELY do well, I just wanted to show you the risk associated with picking players like this
My only issue with DCL is the injury history! It's very likely that hes available for 1-2 games and pops up with a hamstring injury again. The way evertons luck is going i wouldnt be surprised, i prefer wood over him
Great content thx mate, so i have 2 transfers do i sell isak to watkins and jota to mbeumo and that simply gives me the chance to go from henderson to raya in gw6 or take a hit to bring salah ( isak to dcl and muniz to 4.5 jota to salah) but i won’t be able to change henderson to raya
Thank you very much mate. Raya isn’t that important here I think, it’s more so Salah (C) vs Watkins (C) + 4 points. I would go Salah (C), but it’s super close.
Do you like Antonee Robinson at 4.6 (had him to start season) or Digne at 4.6 in a wildcard team? Digne has better matchups next 2 but I love how Robinson plays all 90. Less injury risk I think for Robinson too as Digne always picks up an injury after a spell of games.
I think it’s a fixture very much open to interpretation, and it’s close, so can go either way. I personally think he will do ok at least, but quite a bit of risk attached.
I messed up greatly this game week. Made an early transfer due to frustration watching Manu against Liverpool, later regretted it and wildcarded in response. My new team scored 20+ points less than my original team for GW4. Very frustrating, will learn from this mistake going forward. I have shown a lot less patience than I did last season so far and that needs to change.
@FPLJianBatra Thanks for the encouragement man. On the upside, I've brought in a lot of players that compliment the next few weeks well, fingers crossed I'll be able to hold a few transfers and things will be on the up soon 🙌
@@FPLJianBatra appreciate the response!~ I think I fall into that category you mentioned of people who really planned hard to do a gw6 WC -- looks like the teams that get great runs starting in 12 like BHA and BOU are those I can get key assets from with just transfers rather than WC, necessarily. keep up the awesome content this is easily a top three FPL channel
I need your help🤣 I’ve got Fernandez who’s about to drop in value, I’ve got Isak, I’ve got jota who may not start, I’ve not got salah and only one transfer so I will have to take a hit to get him in and I also don’t have saka (having that no semi premium player has burnt me) so will have to transfer out haaland. What should I do? I’m currently waiting on the news for Isak if he’s not available I’ll transfer him out but if he’s available I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. I’m also planning to WC6 and I have 0.2 to spare in that team. I currently have 1.1m in the bank
You are in a tough spot. Without knowing the whole team, I would just sell Isak & Bruno for Salah & whoever you can afford that’s good, and hope Jota starts!
What do you think of Palmer + Jota out for Salah + Winks (can be Schade but not sure) on a free? It’s what I’m leaning towards right now. Also is Trent + strand Larson out for Havertz + a 4.4/5.3 DEF (depending on Winks/Schade incoming) in on -4 worth it for GW6? I’d only have 1 free transfer but could just downgrade Trent to Gabriel/Gvardiol etc
If you are going to captain Salah, and really dislike your other captaincy option + aren’t too high on Jota, I would do it. And, I wouldn’t take that -4. McNeil is someone you could look at it instead of Schade.
@@FPLJianBatra I would captain Salah, if I don’t have him it’d be either Haaland or Palmer and I’m not overly bullish on captaining either this week. My issue is I keep envisaging a Trent -> Jota goal but I’ve been doing so for a couple weeks and he keeps missing lol.
feels wrong benching the 9 for arsenal but is havertz the 8th attacker you would bench? My other 7 have pretty good fix, next toughest being saka, mbeumo, maybe JP as a mins risk, and then there's also rogers with a nice fix but underperforming. Think i'm leaning towards havertz bench
Watkins armband for me, I am transferring him in for Isak. Eze is a hold for me. But will probably leave the team on WC6. Not sure if I should start Gabriel or Konsa. Gabriel on my banch with 15 points broke me
Just waiting for Unai’s presser. I’m not sure what state Watkins is in (and like I said be ready to accept reduced xMins). Could you not bench someone else? I would rather play both
You have great insight as always buh perhaps you should put your mic on a fixed spot coz sometimes you are barely audible
Thank you my friend.
I didn’t realise the problem was back again! I’ll find some way to fix it.
I agree with you re Gvardiol, he is being overlooked. He can pop up with a massive return on any gameweek like his 21 & 15 pointers within the space of three gameweeks last season. With Walker and Stones back I expect him to return to his attacking ways.
I will revisit this again tomorrow, given KDB might be out!
I like the way you explain how you think and don't seem to go with the crowd (alot fpl channels all seem to push exactly the same players)
Thank you very much Peter. I appreciate you.
Have a marvellous day.
Great stuff as always. I’ve had the triple up with Haaland, Salah, Saka from the start. With the amount of value enablers around it seemed like the best choice and it has definitely paid off.

Thank you Miguel!
I’m doing the opposite as you will see in the team selection.
When you watch that, we can certainly have a discussion about it!
Great video mate 👌 Watkins in for Isak for me this week and captain
Thank you Marco! Bold, best of luck.
Great video as always. I am currently struggling to put forward my 3 defenders this week. Now, I have White, Neco Williams, Robinson, Hall and Barco with 0,6 in the bank and 1FT. Not keen on playing White this week and would therefore appreciate your help on who to bring in.

It’s certainly something to consider down the line, Gvardiol’s fixtures are also really good for a number of weeks.
Great video as always!
I have a similar team to yours and unfortunately, I'm unable to do Isak > DCL and ESR > Salah as I am 0.3 short. What should I do?
Thank you!
Would probably just fade Salah in that case.
Isak to DCL, captain Eze and pray.
(I think)

Between Havertz and Solanke who do you think scores more over the next two?
Head says Solanke, gut says Havertz
My only issue with DCL is the injury history! It's very likely that hes available for 1-2 games and pops up with a hamstring injury again. The way evertons luck is going i wouldnt be surprised, i prefer wood over him
I understand your perspective. But, he looks sharp.
So I’m going to assume he stays fit as I would with any other player!
Excellent analysis Jian! I was wondering if you would bring in Haaland for GW6 if your only option is to take out Salah?
Thank you!
I would reassess after GW5, but probably (not 100%)
Great content thx mate, so i have 2 transfers do i sell isak to watkins and jota to mbeumo and that simply gives me the chance to go from henderson to raya in gw6 or take a hit to bring salah ( isak to dcl and muniz to 4.5 jota to salah) but i won’t be able to change henderson to raya

Maatsen has to start eventually right?
Robinson’s next four fixtures are tough.
Probably go Digne, but it’s a risk.
Thank you for all your support❤️

Bro i plan to cap eze tis week as i dun hav salah. Do u think man u defence improved as quarter join?
I think it’s a fixture very much open to interpretation, and it’s close, so can go either way.
I personally think he will do ok at least, but quite a bit of risk attached.
What do u think about Semanyo for next 2-3 gws.
Any better midfielders under 6.2?
He’s ok as an option, I don’t have much of an opinion on him. Need to watch him a little more for FPL.
I like McNeil, he’s really cheap as well.

what fixture swings other than GW6 are you considering instead?
Gameweek 12, it’s much bigger.

Would you say Trent is a good alternative captain if you only have Haaland from the list of captain options?
I’m so anti captaining a defender, especially with the new BPS, and Bournemouth have a goal in them.
Who else do you have?
@@FPLJianBatraOther options would be Haaland Saka Jota Isak Joao Pedro, all have their problems.

Great video once again! What are your thoughts on Schade at Brentford? looks to be the number 9 for Brentford over the next couple months.
Thank you!
I would watch the Spurs game, and assess from there.
@@FPLJianBatra Agreed, Could be my Minteh replacement in gw6
What do you think of Palmer?
Overall, that’s a lot of variables to consider, but he should do ok.
Fixtures after GW6 are pretty tough, next two aren’t so bad.
Bench welbeck, mbeumo or rogers?
Welbeck.
Sels Supremacy remember!
@@FPLJianBatra yeah, vividly sold him on WC alongside Gabriel 🤣
I am one of your biggest Arab followers. I hope you put the Arabic translation in your video, my brother. ❤️
Thank you my brother❤️
Is subtitles not accessible to you? (I’m not sure how the translation works! More than happy for you to tell me)
Bro.. I'm stuck with Muniz 🙃🙃
Do you advise me to replace him with DCL or roll the transfer and start Harwood bellis against ISP (H)
I would get DCL bro!
Team dependent of course, but if the opportunity cost is small, then go for this.
What do you think of Palmer + Jota out for Salah + Winks (can be Schade but not sure) on a free? It’s what I’m leaning towards right now.

I would bench JP.
Reduced xMins, coming back from injury, and my gut tells me Havertz returns.
@@FPLJianBatra not worried Havertz again floats into that CAM role, seemed to take away some of his threat vs spurs.
Planning on holding my wc but going without arsenal defense for at least gw6 is gonna be painful. Also my team value is already shockingly low
What’s your current team?
@@FPLJianBatra henderson-bentley/ TAA-porro-robinson-hall-konsa/ eze-rogers-ESR-Saka-Salah/Vardy-Haaland-Stewart
