Incredibly helpful, Thx. I really found your review of Robertson over TAA very insightful ( where saving 1mln will be of vital importance) I think 4,5mln West Ham defenders should be in green. I like the Hammers run of games for potential clean sheets. I’m surprised you have excluded Kilman in favour of Emerson. I’m personally thinking of bringing in. Kilman ( clean sheet and an assist against The Eagles = 13 pts ). I’m thinking of transferring out Robinson, in favour of Kilman. My defence. at the moment is : ROBERTSON, KONSA, DUNK, KILMAN & GREAVES. What our your thoughts on the these points and my defence.
You can go Kilman if you want as I’m sure he’s more nailed but I wouldn’t base the reason on the massive haul. I would still bet Emerson would do better for attacking returns over a longer sample is why I’ve included him. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate that they've made a few changes to defence that I'd consider positives like Andersen and Berge but I still think it'll take time for me to believe Fulham's defence will turn such a corner, particularly after the loss of Palhinha. I'll be monitoring the data though!
Fran if you have son what do you do with him And with son & jota & eze & rogers who is the best 5th by 6.8 m Thouths about szobo or bri mid ? And thanks ♥️
I’m planning on wildcardin gw5-6 and have 1 transfer and want to punt for someone short term. Tempted by Saka to Palmer but he’s flagged. Or isak to Watkins but doesn’t feel worth it with isak having wolves. Maybe just Armstrong to welbeck? Who are the best for just short-term punting?
I’ve only got 5 teams to pick from Ipswich, Spurs, Man U, Wolves and Villa. I’ve got doubts for Bailey, Ait Nouri, Watkins and of course Solanke. I had considered a wildcard to replace those with Duran, Maddison, Delap, Mazraoui/Dalot, Martinez (GK) and Johnstone (GK). Am I cooked?
I'm not hugely fond of the replacements either tbf. If you think Watkins and Duran split mins the approach I would take is to not go for either. Team is a bit dicey though of course - just wait for pressers at least.
@@FPLFran yeah it’s an interesting season in my mini league we all have 5 teams each and I think I’ve got the most inconsistent selection haha Also thanks for the reply! I’m really enjoying your videos keep up the hard work!
Considering that Arsenal squad absences, is it worth taking a risk to move from Saka to Salah for -4? In my case I have to swap Gordon for someone like Minteh or Semenyo as well
Is it just me or is Saka THE most overrated player in FPL? I just don’t get his attraction for FPL. 3m more than Mbuembo for instance. Dias,jota, KDB, even Bowen etc are just as good and cost less…….no brainer for me. Usual issues for arsenal- they won’t score enough to win the league. Also - FODEN is coming back. So, wildcard in week 7 when foden is fit and raring to go scores way above Saka for 1m less.
@@chrisrichards1450 Perhaps, but arsenal keep coming 2nd and actually look worse upfront to me. Defenders make more sense, but don’t work so well for FPL - makes arsenal overall less attractive for me.

Hi Fran. I love the cheatsheet and always look forward to it. Isn't it high time to start using the 24/25 stats, rather than what the players achieved last season. Or do you believe that 3 GWs isn't a good enough sample size?
Hi man love your content, is Rodri a good shout? First time playing FPL and I know Rodri is back he played for Spain. Do you think this is the right time to invest in him? People are forgetting about him.
Not really no sadly, I think he was a clear case of overperforming his underlying data last season and I do wonder if City have found a way to play without Rodri needing to play every single minute of competitive football with them. Either way, I'd definitely look at other picks in the meantime.
Excellent video as always Fran! This is my favorite serie on your chanel. I really want Joao Pedro in my squad. Im tempted to swap Muniz or Isak (for more budget) for him. Whats your advice? Im definitely waiting for actions after Brasils game.
I'd prob go out of Muniz unless you were going to go Isak -> JP to allow something like Saka to Salah. Really depends on if you need to make that '2nd' move though
@@FPLFran That was my initial plan, but i have Quansah rotting on my bench 🙄. He (and TAA and Jota) block me for a Salah transfer. I might go for Isak to Pedro anyway to correct things later.
@@FPLFran been thinking that. The offensive data for Arsenal drops considerably without Odegaard. Also, does that push Havertz into mid? They only have 2 midfielders available for the NLD
@@VijaySuryaAditya they’re gd value - will only start one of them if I have to. Fulham somehow always score, even against the bigger teams - ignoring the United game ofc where both sides should’ve scored a few more
Great video Fran. I'm not sure I agree about Watkins. Something is wrong with that guy. He's gone from a 90 min/38 game man to not being able to complete much more than an hour. I think he's got an underlying injury which will need addressing before things improve.
Let's see what Emery says. I think his main issue is more so that Duran might be as good as he looks. I'm simply suggesting if Watkins is getting decent mins - say 70 on average over this run of games he's a hold. But I can change my opinion on this if we see 0 improvement on form and mins
Hi Fran, What are your thoughts on Collins from GW6? Everyone is raving about how Brentford has great fixtures from GW6. Wouldn't their defense be improved as well?
I'm on WC. With Havertz a doubt up front, I can't decide whether I want Isak plus 4.5 defender or Porro plus 7.5m or lower attacker, already got Joao Pedro on the team too.
Fran, please help me decide between alisson and robertson vs a verbruggen/flekken and trent. Do you think the npxgi per90 difference between trent and robertson can make up for the potential clean sheets alisson could keep over either of those two 4.5m keepers?
I'd probably go Trent and Flekken since it's clear you have the ability to compromise a bit of funds anyways. I like to keep my cash outfield generally speaking too.
@@FPLFran why flekken over verbruggen? From what i’ve seen on fpl hub opta stats, brighton seem to have a somewhat better defence than brentford so far this season. Considering brighton’s fixtures gw4-5, ipswich’s and forest’s offensive numbers don’t seem that strong. I’m on a wildcard and choosing flekken now seems like a risky pick, do you think he’s just better long term because of his fixtures from gw6 onwards?
I am surprised you didn't mention Onana. $5.1m with 2 goals, 5 bonus points and a clean sheet so far. Is there a problem with him that I am unaware of?
@@FPLFran Idk I have a feeling for liverpool vs nfo to be a low scoring game… but tot v ars and manu i can see over 2.5 goals but gw5 its better to have those assets than saka and bruno
I just don't see his mins getting that much better. Seems Ode is out 3 weeks. Unfortunately, 2/3 are poor games and after that how long will he stay a good pick? We also have Jesus in training too so I am doubtful he's a great pick
@@FPLFran gotcha, much appreciate your reply!🙂Does the fact that I have Haaland already change anything for you? I'm thinking Haaland (C) this week and Palmer/Eze (C) next week. Everyone seems to think Salah will outscore Palmer by heaps next few GWs, looking at all the expert teams - is it really that clear-cut? Especially considering Salah's CL involvement (@MIL) and recent int'l break fatigue (164/180 mins played + far travel)? Palmer's getting guaranteed 90s and is much more rested. Or am I overthinking?🤔
@@FPLFran Thanks Fran! And another complex question plz, Jota or Diaz if only one？ I know Diaz is on fire now, but Jota has better last season data and is nearer to the central area.
Imo, the form is not sustainable. Rogers had three 10+ point hauls towards the end of last season so he is very well capable of returns. At the end of the day i say go with your gut, because if you don’t go with your gut you’ll kick yourself. If you do and it’s wrong then so be it
None at all really. He's a DM who has scored off of two key chances so far. There is no historical data on him to suggest he can maintain this hot streak, even if he appears a good set-piece threat. Considering the poor shot volume and underlying data (given his natural position), there is no reason for me to consider him.
if he's not that fit I feel like I'd rather just go for different assets from different teams who have better mins altogether than either of Duran or Watkins
I hope Arteta doesn't cuck us all by playing Havertz in midfield or some other mundane bs. Would love to see him stay up top with Saka as a 10 and Sterling and Martinelli on the wings, something exciting. I see Arsenal playing more defensively now with the game ending nil nil or 1-1 or something.
Followed your WC4 template quite closely, but with Havertz a big doubt I have some questions to ask myself. Might have to go Havertz - Jackson who I have ridiculed for his awful finishing😅Don't see myself going Wissa just yet and I want a strong forward to rotate with Minteh and Rogers while I'm waiting for Semenyo to come in. COULD go Watkins but missing 0.6 and would have to tear apart too much. Really feels like this Odegaard injury came at the worst possible timing!
@@FPLFran Appreciate it boss! Any standout pick that jumps at you as his replacement? I guess just keeping Havertz isn't that bad considering Arsenal still have some depth and Rice won't be out long, so only a small ankle sprain for Martin is probably still worth keeping for GW6 onwards for. I still probably trust Havertz to get into good positions tbh
Hi, this is my 2nd Fantasy season and I'm not sure how this works. If I wildcard right now, with 1 free transfer available, do I get +1 free transfer for next week (i.e. will I have 2 free transfers next week if I wildcard right now)? Thank you for the very informative vid, Fran 😃
With Palmer possibly being out. Is it worth taking a 4point hit to transfer Bruno to Semenyo and Saka to Salah? Will then have both Salah and Haaland in the same team
slight drop off on arsenal attacking numbers, poor opening data for himself so far (and his own historical). Midfield issues just means he's quite an easy transfer out IMO. He's not got close to Trent or even Porro level production either
I somewhat doubt it he's a doubt to start, he's still going to train a few days I'd imagine and maybe be an early sub at worst. That's my prediction at least
I am quite against the pick. It's a DM who's scored from two set pieces, as opposed to a DM who suddenly has been transformative on open play. Considering where his threat is coming from and the lack of shot volume, just think he's a clear case of running hot but without the expectation of future returns.
@FPLFran In terms of average position he seems to play as advanced, if not more advanced than rogers, vs worse opposition (Leicester and west ham). Although vs arsenal he played far deeper, he still had the same xG as rogers. He also has far more xG then Rogers over the last 3 games (1.11 vs 0.35), more xGI (1.15 vs 0.69) and more shots than Rogers (6 vs 5) despite having played a lot less minutes (238 vs 270). I dont see how he's a worse option.
You cannot seriously be recommending Man U players? They’re utterly useless. Gone from several years of being 6th best rubbish, to actually being 8th ‘best’ team in league with negative goal diff! and showing no signs of improvement whatsoever - in fact, they’re actually worse. AVOID……….
I feel if you watch my vids you'll get the same understanding from me (that they're significantly worse). Yet team data isn't always correlated to player data, Bruno for example is still a solid pick. The same way how CRY have been a poor offence overall but Eze is a wonderful asset regardless.

Thank you Rishabh!
What's our thoughts on Chiesa?
no interest in him until we see him get serious mins and starts. He's also not trained v much so far
Thankyou for the cheatsheet
Thank you for watching :)
Why Antonio not on cheatsheet?
At his age, and even with the Fullkrug injury think he's just not a very serious option considering the poor underlying data and lack of pen share.
What a video man thanks man
cheers mate!
Why did Ben White drop to 3rd tier?
slight drop off on arsenal attacking numbers, poor opening data for himself so far (and his own historical). Midfield issues just means he's quite an easy transfer out IMO. He's not got close to Trent or even Porro level production either
A masterpiece content 🤙
Thank you bro!
FRAN THE MAN
you are such a g bro, thank you
the same with Pedro, he might not start because of travel
I somewhat doubt it he's a doubt to start, he's still going to train a few days I'd imagine and maybe be an early sub at worst. That's my prediction at least
God bless you FPLFran
god bless you right back mate
Ben Brereton Diaz makes the Cheatsheet!

Moreno has left Villa btw
I am aware of this, I was citing Moreno last two seasons where there was competition of minutes (that Maatsen will present this season).
Subscribe to FPL Fran, he's good he is!
Thank you Vijay!
Loves Wood :-)
hahaha
I feel like Aston Villa's Onana going under the radar with so many picking up rogers
i picked him this week
I am quite against the pick. It's a DM who's scored from two set pieces, as opposed to a DM who suddenly has been transformative on open play. Considering where his threat is coming from and the lack of shot volume, just think he's a clear case of running hot but without the expectation of future returns.
@FPLFran In terms of average position he seems to play as advanced, if not more advanced than rogers, vs worse opposition (Leicester and west ham). Although vs arsenal he played far deeper, he still had the same xG as rogers. He also has far more xG then Rogers over the last 3 games (1.11 vs 0.35), more xGI (1.15 vs 0.69) and more shots than Rogers (6 vs 5) despite having played a lot less minutes (238 vs 270). I dont see how he's a worse option.
He's not a regular scorer and picks up a lot of cards usually
You cannot seriously be recommending Man U players? They’re utterly useless. Gone from several years of being 6th best rubbish, to actually being 8th ‘best’ team in league with negative goal diff! and showing no signs of improvement whatsoever - in fact, they’re actually worse. AVOID……….
I feel if you watch my vids you'll get the same understanding from me (that they're significantly worse). Yet team data isn't always correlated to player data, Bruno for example is still a solid pick. The same way how CRY have been a poor offence overall but Eze is a wonderful asset regardless.
Txs Fran. I'm taking a lot from your content and applying it. Works for me.
