ROB MAYESโ€™ GAMEWEEK 6 TEAM REVEAL

I was always planning to get Erling Haaland (ยฃ14.3m) in this week, but with Florian Wirtzโ€™s (ยฃ8.2m) benching, Robert Sรกnchez (ยฃ5.0m) feeling risky, and maybe a little bit of a rage-move thrown inโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve decided to pull the trigger on the Wildcard.

Hereโ€™s the current draft:

    • 9 Years
    2 days, 10 hours ago

    Roeufs Dubravka
    Virgil Gabriel cucurella esteve Rodon
    Salah Ndiaye Reijnders Kudus Semenyo
    Isidor Haaland Guiu
    0.2m ITB

    Any thoughts on this WC team? Guiu should go and I would like an Arsenal attacker but Guiu will play when he’s back from injury and you can’t have them all. I would have waited until the IB but all my players lose value tonight so I am kind of being forced into it. This team will be set until the IB though, injuries aside, and then I will have 4 FTs to use over the IB when Liverpool’s formation is clearer which could mean I sell Salah .

    1. Guru Mediation

      Guiu will play?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        I honestly think he will in a few games. He was brought back for a reason. Could be wrong but either way he is a cheap enabler and even if he doesn’t start, you’d expect a couple of 1 pointers from time to time. I could use the other 0.2 to get a 4.5 striker but who plays at that price?

    2. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Assume you’ve already bench boosted

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        No why? I could use it in GW8 if I sell Guiu and bring in another cheap striker though

    3. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 11 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      I'd say downgrade 1-2 defenders and improve Isidor. Guiu is not gonna be getting many minutes, mostly zero.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Would you rather have Cucurella or Chalobah?

        1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
          • 11 Years
          2 days, 8 hours ago

          I guess Chalobah or even Tosin. Cucu not getting defcon points, but will be more involved in the attack. I just don't think it's worth it to have 3 premium defenders.

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Also, Chelsea have said he will get minutes to prove himself. He will need to perform when he gets these minutes but I bet over the next few he gets some game time.

        1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
          • 11 Years
          2 days, 8 hours ago

          After George's performance yesterday, I think it's more likely that he'll get minutes ahead of Guiu. He's fine as a cheap 8th attacker if you're ok with no guaranteed minutes. I think there are better midfield options for 4.5-5 who will get reliable minutes.

  2. MikeLowrey
    • 7 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Is this team ok to roll on for one more week before a WC? The * are players I feel need to go

    Kelleher
    Williams* VanDeVen Truffert
    Salah Semenyo Rogers* Gakpo* Reijnders
    Haaland Wood*

    (Dubravka Rodon Esteve Guiu*)

    Alternatively have 3FT if I need this week

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      I currently have Williams and think he could do well next few but he will drop in value and I have already lost value on a few players so need to stop the rot

    2. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      In your position, I would probably wildcard

    3. Green Arrow
      • 13 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      I have a similar team as yours and opted to use the 3 FT. I removed Rogers, Forest defender and one striker (in your case Williams and Wood)

  3. Soyland
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Gakpo to:
    A) Mbuemo
    B) Foden
    C) Roll

    Also: will Porro play in the weekend after 90 minutes today? Do he have competition for his place?

  4. No Professionals
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Have huge wildcard mofo, but I should save it right?

    Sanchez
    Senesi VDV Williams
    Salah Semenyo Anderson Reijnder Ndiaye
    Haaland Pedro

    Dubravka Konsa Esteve Guiu

    1. Green Arrow
      • 13 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Save

  5. Green Arrow
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    9.4 itb and need to bring in a midfielder to turn around my season:
    A) Cave and bring in Semenyo
    B) Go mildly different with Bruno
    C) Go wildly different with a Mbuemo or Foden

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      A)

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Foden and captain

      1. Green Arrow
        • 13 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Good shout but I'm nervous about this after his minutes today

    3. MikeLowrey
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      A, B, C (Foden) in that order IMO

  6. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Wood still good to start the weekend or is he being phased out?

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Feels like the end is nigh, but you may as well give him this weekend

  7. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Who is the better wildcard option?

    A....tarkowski

    B...Romero

    Thanks

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Probably Romero due to fixtures

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Feels like some pretty decent risk of a Porro rest and Spence and Udogie starting against Wolves
    Porro now started 10 games in the last 6 weeks, playing 90 in nearly all including in the cup tonight
    Bit annoying as Porro is the player a lot of WCers won't have!

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Probably because he won’t start this week. 10 games in the last 6 weeks, playing 90 in nearly all including in the cup tonight.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      He was captain though today so surely he starts on Saturday? Maybe he will come off early against Wolves.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        I don't see how being captain of a second-string team in the League Cup implies that he will start at the weekend match.

      2. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years

        Robertson captained Liverpool last night - Kerkez dropped?

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Hmm that’d be a huge disappointment. Was hoping for a bit more from him over this run

  9. Not again Shirley
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Any love for Doku? Seems to be having a good season.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Good short punt imo

  10. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Better choice for the short term?

    A Ndiaye

    B. Kudus

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Ndiaye

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      A

  11. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    No minutes for Wood. What do we make of it. So confused with him.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Probably starts vs Sunderland but then it’s time to sell

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 7 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        That's what I'm hoping for

  12. Keane There Dunne That
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Salah + Watkins ->
    A) Reinjders + Haaland (money for Saka/Gyrokes next week)
    B) Foden + Haaland

    Should I do this tonight to avoid price changes?

  13. Stranger Mings
    • 4 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Is sells a sell after thus GW?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Yep

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Crystal Palace play Liverpool away

    in the league cup next round

  15. Captain Mal
    • 1 Year
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Arsenal - Brighton
    Grimsby - Brentford
    Swansea - M. City
    Newcastle - Spurs
    Wrexham - Cardiff
    Liverpool - Palace
    Wolves - Chelsea
    Wycombe - Fulham

    The DGW/BGW prospects not looking that great...

  16. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Honestly bit surprised to see Semenyo in the Bus team currently. I may bench this week actually.

    I just feel there are perhaps other players with slightly better fixtures than him even though is on form.

    As I'm sure most have him, thoughts?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      In isolation, nailed 90 mins and on pens when Kluivert isn't on the pitch.

      We need more info on who the other options are.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Would be starting Doku and Dewsbury-Hall over him.

        Tough call I know.

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 4 Years
          2 days, 8 hours ago

          Probably best starting Semenyo over KdH.
          Everton arent that good, and West Ham arent that bad.
          Leeds are strong at home, however,
          Semenyo is on one this season.

  17. thetommy14
    • 5 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    G2G?
    0,0m ITB

    Raya
    Gabriel, Senesi, VDV
    Foden, Xavi, Grealish, Semenyo
    Haaland, J.Pedro, Gyokeres

    Dubravka, Elliott, Muñoz, Gudmon

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Solid.

  18. lilmessipran
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Pool to face Palace in the 4th rd of the cup..that slim chance of a BGW/DGW got slimmer.

  19. el polako
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    How often do we really use all 3 subs?
    Since I’ve already played my BB, tempted to have Marc Guiu buried at the 3rd on my bench.
    4.3m for a forward - nice saving and let’s me having 2 defcon strong defenders on the bench if needed.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      See above. I think he will get game time. Chelsea have already said he will be given minutes to prove himself. I have read online he has been training for Saturday too.

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Doesn’t necessarily means he’ll get game time in the Premier League but yeah that’s good news for me should I go ahead and get him as my deep bench fodder.

      2. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        20 mins subs here and there is the worst scenario for FPL

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Chalobah or Cucurella?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      C

      1. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Lame

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Cucu

    3. The Pretender
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      I am going Chalobah. DC seems quite strong - he's missed it in 2 games, one he played 68 mins was taken off early v West Ham when they were up plenty to avoid injury, the other he got 9.

      Similar price route as Sanchez into CHE def, but has set piece threat and DC's ...

  21. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Anything required here, have 2FT and 0.0 ITB?

    Raya
    Senesi - VdV - Andersen
    Salah - Grealish - Semenyo - KDH
    Haaland - J.Pedro - Mateta

    Dubravka - Lacroix - Elliott - Gundmunson

  22. thetommy14
    • 5 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Which combo?

    A) Cucurella, Eze
    B) Gabriel, Foden

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      B

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Prob B. But like Gab and Eze.

  23. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Where's Kolo Muani?

  24. Moneymar
    • 3 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Am I missing something? Why isn’t Sanchez flagged after the red card?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      He completed his ban yesterday in the cup game. Will be playing this weekend in PL.

      1. Moneymar
        • 3 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Ah ofc, thanks!

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Was suspended for the cup, back for the league

  25. Heiro
    • 15 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Evening all,

    Foden or Semenyo for the next few before I WC?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Foden 100%

      1. Heiro
        • 15 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Bothers me a little he played 77 min tonight. But leeds away for Semenyo isnt amazing

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Punt on Foden

    3. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Doku?

  26. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Wood dropping tonight โ€ what are owners doing?
    (Cue the Viagra jokes)

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      Too confused. Being on the bench completely makes a strong case for him starting against Sunderland.

    2. Heiro
      • 15 Years
      2 days, 9 hours ago

      I have a couple dropping tonight but they both have good fixtures, so I will take the hit.

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 days, 9 hours ago

        Think I'll do the same โ€ the price indicator is very inaccurate, Senesi was meant to rise the last 3 days but hasn't.
        So maybe CW doesn't drop.

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          2 days, 9 hours ago

          He rose today tbf

  27. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 days, 9 hours ago

    Yes โ€ he's looked poor but he could easily get a brace v Makems

    I don't want to lose that .1 on him though

  29. Gandalf

    A. Stick with the team below for now

    B. Wildcard, bringing in the likes of Raya, Senesi, and recover the 3FT used up so far.

    Sanchez
    Gabriel Porro Munoz
    Bruno Semenyo Reijnders PMSarr Anderson
    Haaland Pedro

    Dubruvka Ekitiké* Rodon Esteve

      No
