I liked you highlighting teams with best/worst fixtures. Yes we all can do it, but it is interesting to see your perspective, especially as there are various difficulty models and the outcome can be much different depending on the number of upcoming fixtures considered. Also, it really didn't take a lot of time podcast duration-wise.
Skipping fixtures is wise as most anyone who would watch or listen to your content probably has their favorite fixture rating website bookmarked. I do like hearing about the fixtures when you're suggesting weekly streaming options or weighing one player against another. Otherwise, trust your instincts. I'm here for it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
So what are your thoughts on foden, got a mate stuck in last place with him and he's looking to ship him out and wants a mid that is nailed on for 90 I've got saka diaz brennan j MGW and es rowe and im comfortable with offering the latter 3
Do you prefer Schade over Carvalho and why? I have Rice right now and a I try to trade him for (prio): 1. Sancho 2. Mavididi 3. Ndidi 4. Carvalho 5. Schade Would you agree with this order. Or would you even keep Rice?
Debating dropping Schade for Ndidi or Jack Clarke. I know Clarke isn’t exactly nailed, but an assist and 90 mins looks good to me. What’s your ranking of those three?
I have nkunku and Felix.. it’s getting a little frustrating but I don’t feel like there’s anyone on my waiver that could be better because you never know the future
I think holding both of them is too much of a luxury - I would be looking to drop Felix for somebody you know is going to start regularly. Has to be head over heart
Also stat related question: are heat maps of players available on the draft FC website? Any other place where I’d be able to find heat maps of players?
Sofascore do heat maps - not available on Draft FC at the moment. To be honest, aside from roughly seeing a team shape, they're not that helpful for judging a waiver/FPL pick. Better off with numerical markers like cross/touches in box etc
I think with Rashford it all depends on the calibre of the replacement - while he continues to start games he's still a decent player in draft - just nowhere near what he used to be! Re Gakpo - I would need to see him start a PL game before considering switching him for a starter like Nketiah
Gordon is a season keeper, the rest could be drops at points in the season but I can't see an obvious switch to McNeil or Sancho from that lot - the only option is a lateral from Madueke to Sancho if you preferred, but probably better waiver priorities for you to make elsewhere
Thinking about dropping Szoboszlai for Soucek but am worried I want to do it simply so I don't have to root for Liverpool's success as a United fan. Good or bad idea?
Personal bias will always be a factor - weirdly I go the other way and dislike having Spurs players because then if Spurs have a bad day, I have a REALLY bad day! Either way, Liverpool are hitting a rough patch with fixtures and Soucek for this weekend is definitely a shout - go for it
I almost included Awoniyi in this episode but I need to see more of him to decide. First start and being hooked at half-time doesn't look great so wouldn't bother, I'd rather have Muniz still
I am waving for the 5th mid in my 10-team league. Other four are Jota, Trossard, Semenyo, Schade. How would you rank these waivers for the fifth spot: Gundogan, Rutter, Sancho, Souček. With Schade being out if he doesn't deliver, I am looking for more than a one-week punt for the waiver choice.
You always construct your questions so clearly/perfectly 👏🏻 If looking for slightly longer-term I'd exclude Souček - Sancho would seem the obvious choice as he's reliable to start and despite first glance, LIV (a) in GW8 is probably the only truly difficult fixture have over the next month. Rutter fully depended on JP injury and doesn't sound like we have much detail on that
Should I trade Trossard and Tarkowski for Timber and Nididi? My defense if struggling so need to get a steady good defender in my team. Plus I fear Trossards minutes will be limited once Odegaard returns. Thoughts on the trade?
@@KincentVompany22 Timber is playing extremely well, but you can't rely on him staying fit based on history and he is still a defender thus has a lower ceiling than Trossard
I would love to include Sancho but hesitant to get rid of Eze, is it worth giving him a shot for one week or am I likely to lose Eze in next weeks waivers?
@@aljosavage thanks, they are active but inexperienced like myself. I picked up Solanke and Foden recently on waivers and will hopefully snag Rogers as all three below me will no doubt pick Martinelli as he’s highest on the list.

I disagree it is a waste of time
Maybe there's a balance to be struck - will continue to think about it and tinker with the structure as I go 👍🏼

First I ‘like’, then I watch. Thanks, Mitch
My hero
Another banger lads, thanks for condensed data bomb directly into the brain. 👍
Great vid. Can you pls turn down the transition audio though? It's quite jarring, and have seen it on several of your videos.. Keep it up!
Ah somebody else commented already and I thought I'd turned it down - will crank it down further 👍🏼
@@DraftFC I was about to comment thank you for turning it down!
the goat man
13 men league here. Great hidden pick
So what are your thoughts on foden, got a mate stuck in last place with him and he's looking to ship him out and wants a mid that is nailed on for 90
I've got saka diaz brennan j MGW and es rowe and im comfortable with offering the latter 3
I have Barnes. Is it worth moving to Sancho or Johnson, or best to hold tight
Is waivering in McNeil for Gibbs White recency bias? Not sure how to feel about MGW as an asset. 11 man league.
Love the content as always 👌🏽 Wondering who you would prefer out of these guys:
Szobosli, Sancho, Soucek, Savio
And also out of:
Walker, Lewis
I'm low on Szob vs what I thought he could do pre-season. Sancho for a longer hold or Soucek for a 1-week punt.
Lewis over Walker for sure 👍🏼
@@DraftFCthanks mate!
Is Odegaard close to droppable at the moment?
Do you prefer Schade over Carvalho and why? I have Rice right now and a I try to trade him for (prio):
1. Sancho
2. Mavididi
3. Ndidi
4. Carvalho
5. Schade
Would you agree with this order. Or would you even keep Rice?
Soucek also available
Debating dropping Schade for Ndidi or Jack Clarke. I know Clarke isn’t exactly nailed, but an assist and 90 mins looks good to me. What’s your ranking of those three?
Not interested in Clarke - Schade for Ndidi is a judgement call, would give it slightly to Ndidi
thanks as always for your tips. Would you consider picking up Nkunku at this stage? (for Schade). Or is it too risky?
Not massively interested when we can be fairly sure he won’t start!
@@DraftFC thanks!
I have nkunku and Felix.. it’s getting a little frustrating but I don’t feel like there’s anyone on my waiver that could be better because you never know the future

How do you feel about getting Gakpo in for Nketiah?
Also seriously dont know what to do with Rashford considering Uniteds excellent upcoming fixtures.
I think with Rashford it all depends on the calibre of the replacement - while he continues to start games he's still a decent player in draft - just nowhere near what he used to be!
Re Gakpo - I would need to see him start a PL game before considering switching him for a starter like Nketiah
I would say the only players worth considering on the waiver for me are Kulusevski and Mavididi. Dunno if either one is better.
I have Bailey, Garnacho, Gordon, Madueke, and Rogers in my midfield
Who should I replace with McNeil and/or Sancho if any?
Gordon is a season keeper, the rest could be drops at points in the season but I can't see an obvious switch to McNeil or Sancho from that lot - the only option is a lateral from Madueke to Sancho if you preferred, but probably better waiver priorities for you to make elsewhere
Is Neto in the predicted Arsenal XI on the website by accident?
Yes! Changed 👍🏻
Is Joao Pedro a hold? Even if I could grab Evanilson or Nketiah?
(Other forwards are Haaland and Raul)
Hold for now until more info 👍🏻
Thinking about dropping Szoboszlai for Soucek but am worried I want to do it simply so I don't have to root for Liverpool's success as a United fan. Good or bad idea?

Either way, Liverpool are hitting a rough patch with fixtures and Soucek for this weekend is definitely a shout - go for it
Would you drop Muñiz for Awoniyi for the potential upside?
I almost included Awoniyi in this episode but I need to see more of him to decide. First start and being hooked at half-time doesn't look great so wouldn't bother, I'd rather have Muniz still

@@DraftFC Ha, thanks for the tip and the compliment :)
Should I trade Trossard and Tarkowski for Timber and Nididi? My defense if struggling so need to get a steady good defender in my team. Plus I fear Trossards minutes will be limited once Odegaard returns. Thoughts on the trade?
@@KincentVompany22 Timber is playing extremely well, but you can't rely on him staying fit based on history and he is still a defender thus has a lower ceiling than Trossard
So essentially it's Trossard for Timber - not a lot in it so if you think that makes your team composition more balanced go for it
2 minutes after being uploaded 😂😂
I am in a sleeper league should I drop Estupiñan or Trippier?
Yeah not a fan of Estupiñan - could see if someone wants him in a trade as lots seem to over-value him
Branthwaite, faes, Justin, Munoz, guehi, trippier. What two would you roster out of this pile?:)
Branthwaite & Justin
I would love to include Sancho but hesitant to get rid of Eze, is it worth giving him a shot for one week or am I likely to lose Eze in next weeks waivers?
Yeah Eze wayyy > Sancho. Eze will start converting soon
@@Beavy For sure you would lose Eze if your opponents are active.
@@aljosavage thanks, they are active but inexperienced like myself. I picked up Solanke and Foden recently on waivers and will hopefully snag Rogers as all three below me will no doubt pick Martinelli as he’s highest on the list.
@@Beavy Nice! Baffling to see both Solanke and Foden on waivers, Martinelli too. Is it a very small league?
@@aljosavage it’s 8 man but we are all very new to draft, and lots of knee jerk waivers (someone dropped Palmer week 1 etc)
In a 10 man league I have Doku, Grealish and Sancho available! Who goes first and second?
Sancho then Doku
@@DraftFC agreed 😉 cheers mate
Is Stones a drop at this point?
I would have another look in GW7 to see if he's likely to start in the PL
Listing Johnson as Arsenal.....whoops, Spurs fans having epileptic fits right now😅
😅 yeah and I left it as GW5 on the opening slide! "Must try harder"
8 man league Nkunku for Sancho?
Sancho, Nkunku looks like a cup player for the moment
Yes I would
Delap or Evanilson
Evanilson
Delap next 4 fixtures in a row that are very nice, evanilson and Bournemouth are the better side and player I’d say though
Evanilson for me
no most hidden gem this week?
It’s in there! 👀
