@fpl_tactician Please do not go wirtz over szobo (as a Liverpool fan) there is no good reason for doing so in a vacuum let alone for 0.5 mil more

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@AlexVolloFPL Mr Vollo thank you so much for validating my intuition on both Murillo and szobo they will be seeing me after the international break

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@fpl_tactician Having tried 2 playing keepers myself for the last 2 seasons I really disagree. It always looks nice on paper but keeper hauls so often come in games you wouldn’t expect, and it’s so infuriating to be in that position. Even if you don’t want raya which is fair I’d just get one

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@NoNonsenseFPL Let me just have my carefully laid out plan for now before the inevitable heartbreak

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL_TomHadley A fellow vision see-er

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL_Harry Honestly? MGW. Real confidence boosting result, and a 90 min talisman on pens going into the winter pile up is everything you want. Szoboszlai also ticks these boxes

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

Get in my team szobo 😋😋😋

[Alex Vollo @AlexVolloFPL]

The most attacking DEFCON midfielders!

A completely different situation compared to defenders, as we don't have a set of reliable set-and-forget picks here.

No one comes close to Elliot Anderson's numbers this season. The closest is Christie, but he'll probably lose his spot once Scott returns.

I think another factor is how to get full backs back into the game. Feels like pricing is still 2 years behind the meta. Someone like Pedro porro or kerkez etc should be heavily reduced to create more options.

Touching upon my previous post about rewarding the forwards more

I don't think FPL need to overhaul or completely change their scoring system to make it favourable for forwards

The system needs slight tweaking which won't even overpower Forwardss

👉🏻 A hat-trick and a clean sheet for a mid = 18 points without bonus

👉🏻 A hat-trick for a Forward = 14 points without bonus

👉🏻 The 12 defcon threshold for strikers is so far out of reach that so far in 10GWs only Thomas-Asante has been able to hit it and that too only once

👉🏻 Bring the defcon threshold down to 8-10 for strikers

👉🏻 An extra point for an assist for strikers could be worth bringing them more into the game

• Other suggestions given by managers is award a striker extra 1-2 points for scoring a brace or a hat-trick

• Award strikers 1 point for every 3 shots on target

• Award 1 point for every 3 succeeding dribbles

That being said i am not criticising defenders or defcon points, it's probably the best addition to the game in many years

There is no tweak required in that area but there's a big flaw in how and on what actions are defcon awarded

Alex Vollo's pinned post talks about this in detail with the 3 best defcon defenders as examples

🍒 Antonio Silva
12% of defcons came after his own and teammate's mistakes

⚪️ Muharemovic
26.4% of defcons came after his own and teammate's mistakes

🕊️ Vuskovic
17.4% of Defcons came after his own and teammate's mistakes

Defenders are hitting 15-20-25 defcons which is absolutely absurd

👉🏻 Antonio Silva has made a defcon every 5 minutes which is insane

👉🏻 Hill has made the most defcons this season, a defcon every 7.8 minutes

👉🏻 Muharemovic every 8 minutes

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@Hoptastats I could see 3-4 cleans there and he’s got the best xgi of any defcon defender. I wouldn’t make him a priority buy but there’s another 15 pointer or 2 coming this season

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

Bookmark this: by January 1st Murillo will be at least 30% eo #fpl #getonhimearly

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL__Lad Yeah that’s true, his minutes are just a huge risk over the winter period. Reckon there’s at least a few benchings/pre 60 subs between now and January especially with Mitoma and Minteh on the way back

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL__Lad In that case I’d look for whichever one of Silva van hecke or muhar you don’t have (or Murillo if you want some insider trading)

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL_TomHadley It’s that man again!!!

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@NoNonsenseFPL @FPL_MAF1A Personally if you’ve already got Verbruggen I’d get van Hecke. Think you want both eventually

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL_TomHadley I reckon he’s a buy from 12-13, eyeing him up as a konsa replacement. Went early and had vusk and muhar by gw3 so hoping to get the same benefits here

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@FPL_Zlatan Really think he’ll be the next bandwagon. Forests defensive data isn’t too awful and could definitely see the city game as a turning point. Everyone loved guehi/lacroix last year…..

[Ben @Fpl_Weasley]

@fpl_tactician As a Liverpool fan I expect szobo to outscore barcola comfortably for over a mil cheaper. Barcola really blowing hot and cold and gets subbed off a lot
