I would 100% play Cunha instead of Mbeumo. Everton at home are not scoring much, even against West Ham or 10 men Brentford, Cunha could easily get 1 return and be on 2/3 bonus points. Everton xG of 1.65 is crazy high, DCL is still starting games, they scored how many v West Ham, 10 men Brentford, at Southampton? zero. Wolves xGC data in their 4-2 loss to a good Bournemouth side was actually surprisingly solid besides the 3 penalty goals. they had like 0.75 xGC from open play in that entire match. Cunha is a great player, I would advise to play this gw.
I don't know if you watched the game, but Son was not quiet - at least not by my definition. He had three good opportunities to score, two of which do not show up in xG as he took touches that meant he could not get the shot off.
I didn't as I was watching the Chelsea game - but it's an overall assessment on production of Son vs Saka last few weeks (I've watched most of the other Son games on the TV)
I wish you get a green arrow every gw from now until the end, but benching Cunha is really odd imo. Everton is there for the taking. Bench J.Pedro instead (or Mbeumo), who's honestly going to start ahead of Cunha in that Wolves attack? Flekken away to AVL is a bad matchup, I sold him today to get Raya for the long term. Brentford took 20min to lose their CS at home to Leicester thanks to Pinnock's horrid play, how long does it take for AVL to score at home, I figure before 50min let alone 95+ min.
No one said Cunha was being benched. Can't optimize my team every single week re: Flekken. I can hear an argument for J Pedro benching just due to mins and Fulham being the best defence out of all opponents here. I think you're conflating attack vs defense way too much but up to you
@@FPLFran It looks to me Cunha is likely to be benched given he is on your bench in a team selection video. Flekken is not optimal for the long-run, which you mentioned Brentford's bad fixtures from 14 onwards which many of us agree with. I therefore replaced him with Raya who could keep a CS against Man Utd and I have only owned Gabriel in ARS defence this season (since gw1). I don't understand why you are so confident on 31% CS odds from Everton from ROBTFPL against a team that has the 6th most goals scored after 13gw who have yet to play Leicester or Ipswich as well. re:Fulham, in recent home matches, they have given up 3 goals to AVL (RC after 2 goals against) and held Brentford to one goal but didn't score themselves until stoppage time, and then they gave up 4 goals to Wolves. The defence was better before Oct 1 (gave up 1 goal or less in all PL matches played).
Hey Fran, thoughts on a palmer TC? Edit: would you start Gabriel over Colwill due to higher CS odds? In my head Chelsea have a much better chance of getting a clean sheet.
I’m also on gvardiol and thinking of it needs a transfer out to a Trent in GW15. I think if I knew he’d start every game I’d hold my faith in that defense but can’t have a minutes risk rn
Evening Fran! Any suggestions Fran, as a token of my first comment? :D Raya Lewis, Ait Nouri, TAA, Mykolenko, Greaves Salah, Saka, Palmer, Mbuemo, Smith-Rowe Cunha, Wissa, Joao Pedro I'm thinking of a BORING swap Mykolenko -> Colwill..
What do I do? Have 2FT and 0 ITB My team is raya, valdimarsson, Lewis, Gabriel, van den berg, greaves, ait-nouri, Rogers, mbeumo, salah, saka, palmer, cunha, isak, wood.
Current plan is selling konate for colwill, keep mbeumo but looking to play semenyo over him and im still debating on who to start between lewis and ait nouri, doubt they keep cleansheets so leaning to ait nouri for a possible attacking return
Hey Fran, great video as always! Who to bench out of JP, Mbuemo, Wissa and Wood? Currently planning on benching Wood but city have been so bad (as has Mbuemo)
Benching Cunha for Mbuemo is crazy
fine with me

Me too. Will see what happens. 😊
Everton may not be scoring much but they're not giving away that many chances either
@@lucasglanville2880 Huh? did you watch Man utd v Everton?
@@tomsco7 United’s xG was only 0.73, and Everton had conceded just 2 goals in their previous 6 games
Your argument is purely based on Everton scoring when Cunha is an attacker? Not sure what kind of argument this is
I don't know if you watched the game, but Son was not quiet - at least not by my definition. He had three good opportunities to score, two of which do not show up in xG as he took touches that meant he could not get the shot off.

Thanks for your advice last week Fran much appreciated mate
no worries!
Hey Fran, thoughts on a palmer TC?

uhh, I'd prefer a home game honestly. and gab yes
@ Thanks Fran, much love!
Went Mbuemo and Wood to Mitoma and Jackson. Got Salah, Palmer, Saka, Rodgers, Pedro and Cunha. Who should I bench and was the transfer a mistake?
don't think it was a mistake really. you can bench rodgers or cunha
Best 6.5m midfielder or lower? Already have Rogers.
Semenyo
Amad, he is our most influential player at the moment. Not the best upcoming fixtures, but they'll change soon.
Mitoma
Mito
semenyo or amad (amad just has poor-ish games).
Mitoma if you really want to spend much
I’m also on gvardiol and thinking of it needs a transfer out to a Trent in GW15. I think if I knew he’d start every game I’d hold my faith in that defense but can’t have a minutes risk rn
agreed
Hi Fran
Who would you choose as a defender? Wan Bissa, cash or Davis from ipswich? Or is there a better 4.6 or less mil defender in your opinion?
I also brought in gomez after konate news haha
colwill
@@FPLFran Thank you!
Opinions on taking a punt on Gakpo?
you could but I think it's a classic issue of mins
Hey mate should I do mbeumo to Bowen or just play rogers
I'd play rogers or even mbeumo.
please help... one player to bench? joao. mbeumo. cunha. wood. rogers?
wood?
Evening Fran! Any suggestions Fran, as a token of my first comment? :D
Raya
Lewis, Ait Nouri, TAA, Mykolenko, Greaves
Salah, Saka, Palmer, Mbuemo, Smith-Rowe
Cunha, Wissa, Joao Pedro
I'm thinking of a BORING swap Mykolenko -> Colwill..
not a bad boring swap tbf, should be long term great.
@ Ty, will consider. Gl this week!
Great video man, keep it up! Two questions tho, would you play Semenyo over Mbeumo if you had him? Also Fabianski over Flekken? 🤔
yes and yes
@FPLFran who'd you bench out of the three tho? Semenyo, Mbeumo, Cunha
What do I do? Have 2FT and 0 ITB My team is raya, valdimarsson, Lewis, Gabriel, van den berg, greaves, ait-nouri, Rogers, mbeumo, salah, saka, palmer, cunha, isak, wood.
I'd probably roll or upgrade defence a touch (colwill?).
Isak is also a nice source of FTs if you are uncertain about his injury
Current plan is selling konate for colwill, keep mbeumo but looking to play semenyo over him and im still debating on who to start between lewis and ait nouri, doubt they keep cleansheets so leaning to ait nouri for a possible attacking return
seems sensible.
Hi Fran would you bench Semenyo or Cunha
cunha
Hey Fran, great video as always! Who to bench out of JP, Mbuemo, Wissa and Wood? Currently planning on benching Wood but city have been so bad (as has Mbuemo)
I'd still bench Wood tbf
@FPLFran thanks Fran, keep up the great work!
start Semenyo or Mbeumo?
for a 1FT is it worth Mbeumo to Bowen or Mazraoui to Cucurella?
Def: Gabriel Nouri Lewis
I'd go semenyo tbf - close tho. Don't think any fts are worth it really
Hi Fran who probaly start Cunha or Johnson
Cunha for me - close tho
@FPLFran thanks Fran 🫡
Hey Fran, bench 1 of Rogers, Strand Larsen or Garnacho?
garnacho
garna
Fran, would you start Mbeumo or Rogers this week?
mbeumo
Hey fran best 6.3M striker or under whos not pedro or larsen or even welbeck and best 4.4M def or under
that’s definitely a Haaland team problem 😂
@craizzyblue I don't have haaland I have wood and I wanna sell him to fund son to saka or I sell a defender to fund son to saka
@@RafaVm-y2y 4.4 you have Dunk Emerson Kerkez
delap?
Who would you bench out of Joao Pedro, Rogers, Semenyo or Cunha??
not Semenyo
Start Wissa or fernandes fran?
fernandes
Start sels or fabianski?
fab
Play Cunah or Semenyo?
Semenyo for me
Who scores more this week? Haaland and Mbuemo or Jackson and Saka?
I'd probably still back the latter
Benching Cunha over Rogers. Why?
not certain on it tbf
is he really benching cunha for rogers and mbeumo?
most likely. will decide later
Play Rogers or Wood?
Rogers
bench isak or rogers?
I'd bench rogers for now
I'm thinking of bringing in Trent for a -4. I have Mykolenko and Digne. I don't think any of them will start . Trent is a must again
Myko always starts
@samwoodward2676 he got slated after the last game. He's a liability for them
I'd go myko still if you can wait 1gw
@@FPLFran cheers Fran for the reply. I think after what Slot said about minutes you are right although now Greaves Vs Palace could be a better option
If you had Haaland in your team along with all Premiums, who would you give the armband to?
palmer still.
Savio or mitoma?
mitoma
Play lewis or RAN?
lewis
@@FPLFran Preciate it boss!
Fran you passed me out, I'm at 930k. wft.
you'll be back mate, I've missed you
@FPLFran I missed you more. I was celebrating Trump.
Second week forgetting to move captaincy out of Joao Pedro... 😭😭😭
oh no
❤
thanks Nyssa!
I wouldn’t say that Son to Saka is an aggressive move. It’s more of a reasonable and obvious move. 😎
well, more so before press confs. etc
Benching Cunha lmao, you do this to yourself
Wan B and Emerson I'd still find overrated as I think the defence. You can go for these picks if you really want to but I think they're not great
i will get Haaland for this week and captain him. Once some1 said, "it cant rain all the time".
it's a good game tbf
Son's lost a yard of pace and looks nowhere near the Son of old to me
yeah I mean he's still lethal on the counter but not even just Son I just think Saka is brilliant
Hello fran, aren’t you worried at all by Rico Lewis getting benched this GW? I am! 🥲
slightly but I think gundo has been given plenty of minutes too
Fpl is kinda boring now. Everyone's team I see has like 8 of the same players 😢 good to see you're putting cunha on the bench and playing Mbeumo
why not
