Hahaha, comedy gold. Andy probably holding them till they retire in 2033. Not sure if we should proclaim his obsession under stubbornness or persistency.
He just doesn’t want to use Wildcard early. Nothing wrong with that. He always says I wouldn’t buy United players, don’t know why people don’t understand.
how do you make money off price rises ? for example i have estupinan no and can only sell for 5.1 mill even thougb he is worth 5.3 , yet any players whos price has dropped seem to sell at that price ?
Players have to go up 0.2 for you to earn 0.1 on them eg. If estupinan drops to 5.2 and you bought him for 5.0 you can still sell him for 5.1 but if he dropped to 5.1 you would sell for 5.0
I've had Rashford, Bruno, and Onana since GW1 and after last weekend, that was the last straw, I can't keep faith with my United boys anymore. Losing Botman didn't help either. I really wanted to hold the wildcard until much later in the season but the writing was on the wall that a GW8 wildcard just had to be done.
Got a solid 78 pts last week, up to 500k overall, But I'm hitting the WC this round. Going for a Haaland less draft. Considering including either Rashford or Bruno until GW 13 then switching to Saka. If Bruno drops in price I'm 100% doing this. The man utd fixtures next 6 are just too good apart from city in 10. Selling Salah after GW 15 to bring Haaland back.
similar situation to you , done a -4 to have diaby,maddison,son,mbeumo,rashford,haaland,watkins with onana,trippier,estupinian,saliba (not ideal) but for a -4 i think its worth me saving wc till gw10 too, slight itchy trigger finger though.
I transferred Watkins out after GW5 and despite the abject failure of my team last weekend, nothing pissed me off more than Watkins' haul. Even after bringing in Botman and holding into Bruno.
The way I see it is, if you wildcard now you just end up with a similar team to everyone who's already above you in rank and have higher team value than you do. Better to take the risk on the United players who, lets be honest despite their form have 2 great fixtures. Will we really be surprised if Bruno and Rashford both return against Brentford? I don't think so. So you have differential players with 2 great fixtures as opposed to just having the same team as everyone who wildcarded. Obviously a risk but at 1.2mil maybe we need to take risks
thoughts on going for trent for the long run instead of estupiñan if money isn't an issue. Also from wilcard videos I've seen I'm not sure how people want to get to saka without losing son, I'm planning either save some money so maddison to saka is a move, or potentially ignore saka and go for a wardprowse from gameweek 10 who I think could potentially do just as well. Thoughts?
If its any consolation Andy im WC’ing this week but keeping Rashford until GW10 as he looks to have the best fixtures in 8 and 9 for a 2 week punt before getting Mitoma back. Plenty to think about
True, I wouldn't blame you if you did though. People will want to totally copy your team and not play their own game, which I don't understand. I'm on wildcard myself. Best of luck Andy 👍 it's between alverez and jwp for my last spot. So 343 or 352.
Great video as ever Andy. I think you should think about the sunk cost fallacy when weighing up whether or not to wildcard. Every new bit of information that comes out makes the GW8 wildcard more powerful. By not wildcarding this week you are leaving so much EV on the table. It's your team of course and you're a great manager but personally i think a wildcard now looks obvious for where you are.
It’s not only Bruno and Rashford for Salah and Diaby. It’s Bruno, Rashford, Saka (potentially injured + questionable fixtures), Botman and Pickford for Salah, Diaby, Maddison, Cash and Areola. Wildcard is definitely worth it for this team in my opinion. I honestly don’t think GW10 is better to wildcard in at all. Press the button imo.
have mostly the same problem as you Andy b. Fernandes and sterling😔 wish i have some return form them even for once the big problem for me is that i dont have wc coz i did it earlier coz of injury's so lets hope the best
Andy hit the button your behind the curve and playing catch up - also and know one what's to talk about it but your losing team value day by day which is important later on.
@@gabrieldylind5370 Diaby is at risk of injury and may not play this weekend and Luiz is already on 4 yellows so will wait to see if there is another update on Diaby before making a decision
I remember last season when a lot of people hit the wildcard around game week 25ish, they were instantly down after salah scored a hat trick against Man Utd the that weej and all wildcarders sold him. The wildcard turned out fine in the long term, but still lead to a big loss in that one week. Point being, I wouldn’t be shocked to see something similar happen this week, people wanting to hold the wildcard another week or 2 should stop worrying!
why are noone talking about liverpool defenders as an option , not trent or robbo because price , but another players nailed in their backline like matip , they have everton forrest and luton coming up
@7:50 It sounds like you knew fully well you were heading into a pun and did very little to change course. Therefore the pun was fully intended. (James Acaster)
This is the week where the herd splits (thank goodness): it's now the GW8 WCders vs GW10WCders vs the GW19s. With the vast majority of content creators hitting the button this week (Harry, Raptor, Sam etc) on top of the many that have gone even before this GW (Focal, Lee, the AboveAverage guys, Az, Mate etc.) You, Andy, are now the de facto voice of the GW10s - stay the course 🦾😁
@@croissantpower I get what your saying why avoid Arsenal tho I don’t get it surely they have a big chance of scoring same as Man City of saka is injured as well then surely odegaard is a shoe in
You definitely have a good team. It's just a team that's not delivering right now. It happens. The only question is: will I get more points moving forward by wildcarding?
@@LetsTalkFPL it's always horrible in the week you wildcard to see if your old team outperformed your new team. That's happened to me before and it's mega frustrating! 😂 If you do wildcard for GW8, hopefully it won't happen to you. But if it does, that's soooo FPL, right?
I don't think it's clear Saka is the main penalty taker. Him holding the ball might just be to shield the person actually taking it. If anything it seems like Odegaard is the one deciding who takes the penalties.
Saka and Estupinan likely missing out, hitting the wildcard early was definitely the best move but people who haven’t will probably be too stubborn as they’ve missed most the risers and fallers
Currently my thinking is leaving either Salah or Haaland out of the WC. The team just gets so much better overall with the funds available. And there are just so many good options on the midfield so Im most likely skipping Salah. Alvarez goes pretty much same as Haaland for half the price so I could just stay there + Watkins as everyone seems to get rid of Alvarez, the most stupid decision there is. More fun to play without Haaland tbh.
United are so bad right now, but Rashford has 2 assists in CL one in each game. I feel Diaby is worse than Rashford and Bruno this week by bookies and I think in reality. Wolves away not that easy. Basically you would wildcard for Salah and I would not blame you. Salah seems to be the only premium with no doubts about performance, injuries or anything. Just I feel people hype up Neto and Ward Prowse. I think they are alright, but not worth a move from Rashford.
I don't have much of a clue what I'm doing in FPL when it comes to thinking ahead, wildcards, tracking injuries, choosing captain etc but I'm doing fairly well I think. I'm rank 280k is that decent?
That was unlucky having Estupenan come in for Botman, Andy. I was fortunate and had Colwill come in for Botman in my team. In another game week down the line, I wont be as lucky I bet with the subs.
“Did you say no pun intended at the end of the sentence.” “I said it at the top.” “That does sound like you knew fully well you were heading into a pun and did very little to change course.”
I had a wildcard draft ready but i scrapped it, mainly because the GW10 WC is still much better imo and I have 2 free transfers so it might be worth taking a -4 to sort things out short term and then WC in 10.
I feel the same, I don’t like the midfield for Gw8 whatsoever as I’ve already got Maddison and Son anyways, so the only one I’m missing out on is Salah, in Gw10 we can have Mitoma, Saka, Bowen/Ward-Prowse who all have great fixture runs from there on
its not like you could have had two panalties, in arsenal is clear that saka is first choice, and ødegaard is nr 2, and they gonna share them all season, and im sure if arsenal gets more then one penaltie they gonna continue to do it. its the smart thing to do, and ødegaard looks like a better penaltietaker anyway.
Dont think you should wildcard. Things Change quickly and the national break usually brings some surprises. Also, all the wildcard teams are the same😅. At this point, lets try to bring some spice to the game
@@purposedriven8156 if you have Son try to push out with him, if you don't have him, then you can do -4 for Madison ,but you are losing two players who are fit ,thats my opinion broski 😃
It is game week 38 and Andy is still holding on to Bruno, Rashford and Pickford for one more week. 😂
Hahaha, comedy gold. Andy probably holding them till they retire in 2033. Not sure if we should proclaim his obsession under stubbornness or persistency.
I know he thinks the Man U bias comments were unfair but I think his performance this year is proving otherwise
He just doesn’t want to use Wildcard early. Nothing wrong with that. He always says I wouldn’t buy United players, don’t know why people don’t understand.
Andy you need to wildcard now!! This team isn’t good
Is it beter go Saka to Son and Estupinan to Chash for -4 or Rashford to Son with one FT
Just a thought, maybe Saka has Odegard and Havertz in his FPL team 😂
Maybe!
I actually thought they probably got themselves on so a goal was going to help a lot 😂
Andy givin this team the same faith as he gave Salah last year haha can never question your loyalty Andy!
Salah ended up good, but it took ages!
I’m not usually up for kneejerk wildcarding but listening to all this… I’d be hitting the button
I feel like Andy's forgetting that he can get rid of Utd players and then bring them back later if they hit form 😅 No need to hold till gameweek 50
Worry, worried, and worries seem to be the words of the day 😂
you need to wildcard my friend, the team doesnt look good, but hey, who knows?
how do you make money off price rises ? for example i have estupinan no and can only sell for 5.1 mill even thougb he is worth 5.3 , yet any players whos price has dropped seem to sell at that price ?

On the same boat! The plan is still to hang in there until gw10 wc. Saka to Maddison and Botman to Cash this week with 2FT.
I've had Rashford, Bruno, and Onana since GW1 and after last weekend, that was the last straw, I can't keep faith with my United boys anymore. Losing Botman didn't help either. I really wanted to hold the wildcard until much later in the season but the writing was on the wall that a GW8 wildcard just had to be done.
Im sure Rashford and Bruno will come good in the business end of the season as they fight off relegation. Solid hold until then
WC done: Areola, Turner: Burn, Cash, Udogie, Andersen, Taylor; Salah, Son, Maddison, Diaby, Gordon: Haaland, Watkins, Archer - completely new midfield!
whether right or wrong i like that you are holding onto the wildcard when it feels right for you rather than following everyone else.
Is it worth a -4 to do:
Saka > Son
Onana > Areola (for funds)
Estupiñan > Cash
You know you'll end up with a decent rank. Keep grinding pal. Love the video as always.
Asked you about going for Diaby over Mbeumo 4 or so weeks ago.
You said Mbeumo. Very happy I went against your advice

All we need is a Bruno - Rashford comeback and we are in heaven.
Why are you guys not considering a GW9 wildcard?
@@snufflebunns3901😂
Looking like another red arrow for you with that squad.
I transferred Watkins out after GW5 and despite the abject failure of my team last weekend, nothing pissed me off more than Watkins' haul. Even after bringing in Botman and holding into Bruno.
Wildcard right now. Who in their right mind has Rashford over Maddison
Can’t believe you’ve still got rash n bruno on game week 7 after how utd have been

There are some serious issues in that Man. United team, they might struggle against Brentford.
As a Manchester United fan nothing surprises me anymore we might even lose to Brentford
Bruno and rashford have been KILLING ME, wildcarded this week, current rank 4.3m lmao worst start to a season so far 😢
On wildcard I have Son, Salah and Maddison and then 2 other midfield slots. I can affod-
JWP and Diaby
Bowen and Gordon
Mbeumo and Neto
I have 4 injured players, i have a hospital on my fpl team mates, it’s a must for me to wildcard this gw!
Wouldn't be surprised if the wc is hit already and will show us on the livestream Saturday.
If I'd used it I would say, there's no benefit to pretending otherwise.

If only I had started Saka , sigh !! ,on the flip side , happy I got trippier instead of Botman , a small red arrow this GW
I had an all time stinker last week after a monster in gw6. Wildcard inevitable for me. Almost at 2 mil after being top 500k

I think you’re making more good points on why you should WC gm8 than you make against it. Especially if Saka & Son won’t play/are on limited minutes.
There’s no chance anyone with Son would even consider taking him out this week lol
Last week Morris captain saved my week 51 points!! yes my team was that bad xD
So Salah captain this week

Diaby,Ward Prowse
If you had the money, would you prefer Porro over udogie?
I think at this stage Andy you're committed to that midfield until the wildcard. No sense beating yourself up.
“Did you say no pun intended at the end of the sentence.”
“I said it at the top.”
“That does sound like you knew fully well you were heading into a pun and did very little to change course.”
I'm pulling the wildcard this week... with 3 injured defenders and Eze I don't see any other options...
Is diaby going to play?

Going forward Saka to Bowen seems a good option.
Play it your way. That's the joy of the game. Enjoy every minute.
