Also a bonus for Isak which you didn’t mention is that he is easily the most entertaining forward to watch that is highly owned in FPL. Obviously that doesn’t generate any bonus points but I just love to watch him play. He is skilled in so many areas on the field. If it feels like a coin flip between two alternatives I recommend going with the one that brings most joy when watching. Having fun while watching a game is somewhat underrated imo. Cheers!
bought Robinson this week for RAN just like everyone else. loving that I have both Isak and Jackson this week, so benching Enzo for Rogers so that I don’t have triple Chelsea attack (w Palmer)
Had 5 FTs (again), used 3 to bring in Robinson , Enzo & Isak before any price changes! Gonna be a tricky next week with 3 games in quick succession! 190k at the moment!
@verytiredatdoingthis cheers bud, this is the only year I've had such patience, no hits, nothing!! Good planning more than anything! Hope the season goes well for ya!! 💪🏼👍🏼
He’s also not putting up good numbers. Perhaps he’s an anomaly to the xG laws… but he has relied on penalties, tap ins and tbh rather lucky goal - and I say that as an owner since GW1 having sold a few weeks back.
Wood Record per season: 17/18: 10G, 1A, 147min g/i 18/19: 10G, 3A, 198min g/i 19/20: 14G, 1A, 162min g/i 20/21: 12G, 3A, 182min g/i 21/22: 5G, 0A, 538min g/i 23/24: 3G, 0A, 269min g/i Current: 10G, 0A, 124min g/i Wood in this Forest team could definitely have 20g/i this season... but it's not so much his current season xGA that shows it its his consistent mins per goal involvement that shows it.
Held off on bringing Robinson in as wanted to wait on Tete injury - he’s now confirmed out for 8-10 weeks so bought in Castagne. Think this could offer massive value for anyone else who’s waited, as he’s only 4.2!
I completely agree with you in terms of forwards. Except for Raul Jimenez, Not that hes the best option but if i am going to sell cunha next week surely this is the better entry point for Raul and i get the most money out of cunha if i sell this week as no doubt price will drop soon. 1FT left - amad and robinson in for mitoma and ait nouri
Realised the importance of TV. I have the exact same team as you, except I have: Jackson over Cunha Amad over Enzo Mazraoui over VanDenBerg Been moving early on moves this year to get as much value for next WC. Sat at 200k with 105.5m TV.
@@bawasimp I think the fixtures are debatable as Fulham have great fixtures apart from Chelsea. Depends which Fulham turn up. Wolves smashed them weeks ago so I haven't seen enough consistency from them compared to say Nottingham Forest. I do have Amad instead of Iwobi though as i feel he has a higher ceiling for returns.
Semenyos fixtures aren't great until GW25... I transferred Rogers -> Diallo and it's likely GW19 I'll do Semenyo -> Sarr. I've been quite aggressive with transfers as I'm likely to Assistant Manager GW24 if the DGW is confirmed so a price rise for Diallo is damaging to my plans. I think Ait-Nouri -> Robinson is a must transfer so definitely do that. It sounds like Semenyo will play at the weekend so you could roll... however Semenyo has been playing deeper against tougher opposition and Diallo is playing advanced against a poor away defence... I'd probably risk Diallo tbh... 😅
I’ve also delayed any transfers. As a Spurs fan, I’m tempted to keep Solanke in just for this period. My only way to Isak this weekend is to take -4 & I’m uneasy about doing that. My current defence is Raya in goal, Dalot, TAA, Aina, Digne (Greaves on bench) I realise it’s far from ideal. Might be that my only move this weekend is Cunha for Raul or Robinson/Anderson for Dalot to free up nice funds next week. I could just roll, hope for the best, and have a couple of nice options for Boxing Day… difficult to know.
i think the uncertainty your talking with around your mids means you should just roll - whether cunha is banned or not - you have solid cover as it is in rogers, who in my opinion clearly has the better fixtures over amad, who honestly feels so kneejerky (although he’s been playing well)
Hey Raptor! Need your assistance this week.. a bit confused in the first time for a while Ait-Nouri, TAA, Lewis, Colwill, Greaves Saka, Salah, Palmer, Rogers, Smith-Rowe (yes I don't know why he's here still) Isak, Joao Pedro, Cunha 1 FT 0,0 in bank Ait sells for 4,7 and Robinson just moved up to 4,8 A bit confused on possible moves. Waiting for Cunha update (if he's out I am forced to a hit anyway)
On Rogers and Amad - i'm in the same position (but no FT). One key point to analyze: Rogers hasn't given us much lately - but why? Is it because Emery has changed the system, or is Rogers just out of form, or have the specific fixtures not been the best for his playing style? If it's the latter, things can change fast. What do you think?
The price predictor said Isak would rise on Fn Tuesday which would price me out so I sold Cunha it’s Friday now and Isak is still 8.7, so… yeah if Cunha hauls I’ll be pressed
A few GWs ago, you were saying Rogers is a season hold and now potentially selling him for Amad 😂 before Villa fixture swing for a guaranteed 90min man. Hmmm
It's almost as if, and I know this is crazy, you aren't expected to hold the same opinion for 38 gameweeks! Rogers' data has fallen off a cliff, and new options have emerged like Amad and Sarr.
Haaland is the best example after back to back hatty everyone wanted him as perm 🧢. Now no one wants him with his good fixtures coming up. In fpl we have to be open to change our minds with new information
Thanks for the video Ross! Keep up the amazing work! Question: I'm left with 0 free transfers (I brought in Timber for Ait-Nouri to not miss on the price drop), and 0 money left in the bank. What I want to do is sell Cunha and Mitoma for Enzo and Jackson. Right now I can only do it for -8, which I don't think is a good idea, but I'm also worried that I will be priced out of it. I'm hoping Cunha won't get suspended for this GW, the prices stay the same, and I do it after the deadline for a -4. What do you think? Any remarks?
There is never an entry point for wood, he finds the goal anyway regarding the fixture, so just go cunha -> wood and leave him there for the rest of the season.😂
Similar boat with the cheap midfielders and 1FT. Only my two are Rogers and Semenyo. Amad is very tempting but I'd probably give Semenyo the boot if so...
@TurtleFPL that's awesome. Sadly I have a couple of moves hinging on certain price points so I had to take a minus 4 for amad this week. The Rogers price drop hurt me. Jackson price rise is scary too, as I want to upgrade Pedro to Wood.
I had 1 FT and got Robinson for RAN. should I take a - 8 to get Isak for Cunha and move around 1 more player for the funds? I got in Semenyo last week only and he's my only option to change or I get rid of Porro.
Hi Ross, im Sam and im 13 and it was my birthday yesterday! Ive been following your channel for about a year now and thanks for all the videos. I need some advice though on a transfer I have the money in the bank to get either Isak for Cunha or Van Dijk for Ait nouri, my other defenders are Gabriel, Robinson, Pau Torres and Stephens and my other forwards are Pedro and Jackson It would be for a -4 so also maybe better if i hold of on one of them untill next week? Help would be very much appreciated, thank you
I would keep Rogers in your position. The guy is a great footballer and probably wants to score more goals than last gameweeks himself. He'll do fine in the easy fixtures for sure
Great video ... just to give my 2 cents , I think rogers to amad is a luxury move and I would prefer to keep the extra transfer :-) me personally trying to decide if it's worth it to get Jackson for cu ha before the price rise ..already have isak
I did rogers to amad to beat the money moves. Rogers is a great player,known asset, always picked by manager. Amad feels like a higher ceiling, more exciting/risky pick esp recently and I could play him against better defences. It is a luxury transfer - I only did it as I had 0 in the bank and to protect team value.
@@Shluba_ both work for some people but I already have enzo, palmer saka Salah. Wouldn’t have done it for a hit but I see a chance of amad staying as a 10 and manu coming into form so I wanted to gamble on that.
Ive done Saka to Enzo and Welbeck to Isak this week for a hit. Controversial i know but it means next week i have money for Cunha to Jackson next week. (Brennan Johnson to Amad is planned at some point after that too)
I like this team! Think your defence is a bit too expensive for me, especially given there's not been many clean sheets this season, but my defence is trash and you're ranked 3m ahead of me so you're probably rjght 😂
I feel like we're splitting hairs with Amad vs Rogers again, Ross. We were talking about this during Pre-Season. Rogers > Amad mades sense 5 weeks ago for team value but wont you just swap Roger back in for GW19, maybe GW21?
Don't see huge problems with Rogers despite the recent poor gameweeks, and yes, Amad has been impressive, but less so against tough opposition. 3 out of his 4 next fixtures are really tough, and the only good one (Wolves) is a mid-week game. In 3 out of 4 midweek games under Amorim he hasn't gotten more than 45 min. The only mid-week he played 90 min was vs Viktoria Plzeň, a game they HAD to win to stay in the top 8 of the Europa League. Rogers on the other hand, who has a points total equal to the likes of Smith-Rowe and Gordon this season, has really good fixtures coming up, especially if you rotate him with Enzo. On Cunha... I'd just get Wood. 😂 He keeps scoring, and his fixtures look pretty good for a forward.
I’m 40k in the world with squad value £104.3m and 2 free transfers. I still got the WC1 to play. Can you help me with a squad from gwk 17 or 18 onwards please.
Hi Ross, do you often check your university email? I sent you an email regarding my dissertation as I’m doing it on the behavioural economics and bias in FPL, would really appreciate if you got the chance to look at it, understand you’re a very busy man! Thank you :)
Wake uo at 7 for college and have a cheeky raptor vid to watch before i leave at 8. Brilliant haha!

@verytiredatdoingthis cheers bud, this is the only year I've had such patience, no hits, nothing!! Good planning more than anything! Hope the season goes well for ya!! 💪🏼👍🏼
Amad will be an essential asset for price , minutes and output
Picked him up on WC14 at 4.9, feels like a steal but shame I benched him for Citeh
Thanks for bringing the outro music back. My life has been in tatters ever since that was taken out
Can't believe you're overlooking Wood. He's second in Forwards at the moment for a reason, and Forest are 4th in the league!
He’s also not putting up good numbers. Perhaps he’s an anomaly to the xG laws… but he has relied on penalties, tap ins and tbh rather lucky goal - and I say that as an owner since GW1 having sold a few weeks back.
Wood Record per season:
17/18: 10G, 1A, 147min g/i
18/19: 10G, 3A, 198min g/i
19/20: 14G, 1A, 162min g/i
20/21: 12G, 3A, 182min g/i
21/22: 5G, 0A, 538min g/i
23/24: 3G, 0A, 269min g/i
Current: 10G, 0A, 124min g/i
Wood in this Forest team could definitely have 20g/i this season... but it's not so much his current season xGA that shows it its his consistent mins per goal involvement that shows it.
I’ve had him since GW3/4 sold this week for Isak
Plus he’s playing against a really poor Brentford defence who could be without both Pinnock and vdb
Thanks mate. Love the early morning uploads!
Cheers mate! Have a great Friday!
Sitting at 28k atm, I have faith in Cunha for this weekend 🔆
At least someone has. I don't anymore. Had to sell him
Great work as always Raptor keep doing your thing 🙏💪💪💪
love the vids always great. From aus so always look forward to waking up in the morning and seeing an upload
Thanks so much!
Loving your work as always Ross
Thank you!
Part of the reason i come here is the intro music. Nevers gets old.
Haha love to hear it!
Captain Isak again! You won’t regret it 👍
Held off on bringing Robinson in as wanted to wait on Tete injury - he’s now confirmed out for 8-10 weeks so bought in Castagne.
Think this could offer massive value for anyone else who’s waited, as he’s only 4.2!
6:30 thank you Raptor, I’m haunted by that 3rd spot benching of 24 points😂
Quality quality quality! Good work mate!
Thank you mate!
Wood in! 🐐🐐
start rogers or enzo? i’m leaning rogers
Hey mate! Just do the Amad move! You'll love watching him and he is on it. I've already done it. Remember this game is supposed to be fun!
Morning Raptor! 🦖 early again this week
Good luck this gameweek ross! May your arrows be green!
Iwobi hattrick incoming 😎
17:50 literally me for the last 3 weeks. Always had the mind to move Cunha after the IPS game but im stuck between Wood or Wissa w/ Isak & Pedro 😅
Big love ❤️ thanks for a nice early one. 150k

Except for Raul Jimenez, Not that hes the best option but if i am going to sell cunha next week surely this is the better entry point for Raul and i get the most money out of cunha if i sell this week as no doubt price will drop soon. 1FT left - amad and robinson in for mitoma and ait nouri
Starting GW19 I’ll be rolling transfers for the new chip. Make these aggressive transfers now order to be prepared later.
Realised the importance of TV. I have the exact same team as you, except I have:
Jackson over Cunha
Amad over Enzo
Mazraoui over VanDenBerg
Been moving early on moves this year to get as much value for next WC. Sat at 200k with 105.5m TV.
I just made 3 FT rate it out of 10
Ait nouri ➡️Robinson
Cunha ➡️wood
Rogers ➡️ iwobi
Not bad though iwobi can go missing in games at times. Southampton is a great game to buy him in for high potential for returns
amad in place of iwobi and this would be a 10
@@bawasimp I think the fixtures are debatable as Fulham have great fixtures apart from Chelsea. Depends which Fulham turn up. Wolves smashed them weeks ago so I haven't seen enough consistency from them compared to say Nottingham Forest. I do have Amad instead of Iwobi though as i feel he has a higher ceiling for returns.
Can you rank the top 3 goalkeepers to own now for the next 6 weeks?
You know what Ross, I will follow you on your decision on when to replace/keep Cunha. You are the reason I bought him in the first place.
Merry Xmas Ross
Merry Christmas!
Is it worth taking a -4 to bring in both Robinson and Amad for Ait nouri and semenyo?
I have Rogers as well and Gabriel +4 cheap defenders
Long term yes I think so.

Semenyo is at risk of going down in price. Amad is rising. Rogers has gone down in price too.
@MohitRKNA to be honest, I'm not too bothered about price changes in my decision making unless it directly involves other transfers
@TurtleFPL that's awesome. Sadly I have a couple of moves hinging on certain price points so I had to take a minus 4 for amad this week. The Rogers price drop hurt me. Jackson price rise is scary too, as I want to upgrade Pedro to Wood.
Great video again Ross. Who do i bench out of: Semenyo, Enzo, Wood, Cunha and Rogers?
I transferred out ait nouri for Gabriel. Do you think Gabriel was a better choice ahead of Robinson ?
At 2hat point are you going consider double Liverpool attack? Jota
Hi should I start robinson over dunk/kerkez/pedro porro? Jimenez over sarr?
I had 1 FT and got Robinson for RAN. should I take a - 8 to get Isak for Cunha and move around 1 more player for the funds? I got in Semenyo last week only and he's my only option to change or I get rid of Porro.

Interesting moves. Hope it works out. I’m struggling to let go of Saka but he has gone cold of late.

I'm not sure that's true. Amad has 10 goal involvements in his last 10 games. Rogers has 7 goal involvements in 22 games.

Should I just stick with Solanke after his midweek performance or just move to Isak
🤔 why is it always 30% or 50% off?
Go for Amad..am captaining him this week over Salah.. That's big risk for me but at this stage I need to break my rank from 12K to below 10K
I'm not the best person to ask on cheap mids (not kids, that my phones trying to force me into), I still hold Smith Rowe 😂
Isak for a captaincy shout for Ipswich away?
Start Enzo or Amad? Already own Palmer and Jackson
Porro out for Trent + Mbuemo to Amad?
Please need an answer.
🙏🏽 do we need money in the bank for this Assist Manager stuff?
Yeah you do. Apparently manager prices will vary between 0.5-1.5m
How are you sticking with Pedro still!
Can someone help,
Start 2;
Mbuemo/Iwobi/Cunha(if available)
Iwobi and Cunha for this week. Easy matchups.
@zzgrom commented under Gianni the FPL TH-camr's channel and he's said Mbuemo and Cunha interestingly
I’ve gone cunha jackson mitoma amad, wish me luck
Selling Rogers is something you will regret!
Raptor given up with his play style and decided to go template 😂
Rogers to Amad... do it!
Isak captain for me
I’m 40k in the world with squad value £104.3m and 2 free transfers. I still got the WC1 to play. Can you help me with a squad from gwk 17 or 18 onwards please.
Any news on Cunha?
Mbuemo captain activated
I made that move
Fpl therapy has better videos I think, might just listen to that guy this week🤔
Agreed!
I’m just so far behind you on team value, it’s killing me.
Hello raptor I’m stuck between 5k to 20K for last 6 gameweeks 😢
Save your transfer Ross
Hi Ross, do you often check your university email? I sent you an email regarding my dissertation as I’m doing it on the behavioural economics and bias in FPL, would really appreciate if you got the chance to look at it, understand you’re a very busy man! Thank you :)
Who's back here after Rogers haul?
I am thinking doing Rogers to Amad and just bench joao pedro!!
Amad is by far a better asset
Rogers to Amad, bench Pedro.
😊🤘🖖🤘🍿🍻
No one talking about jesus
ROSS! SELL ROGERS & GET AMAD!
You will be Amad man if you don't bring him in
Start Roger’s over Enzo. Trust
Sell Cunha, no point holding him.
Apart from being a penalty taker against Leicester away!
