Cheers mate. I’m thinking Saka to Sarr , which will give me plenty to upgrade my 2 cheaper forwards next week. I fancy investing a bit more up top, and Cunha will need sorting. Also leaves a bit of change for the AM chip. Have a great Christmas 🎅
@simonhart2186 you too, Simon! Sarr is 1 week early but he's the form pick for sure and Saints next week. Agreed on forwards, their swings are next week, not many good ones this week bar Haaland and Isak.
Great video! You must be buzzing yourself going into festive period with such a strong team. Actually going against your logic and bringing Foden as well as Gvardiol instead of Bruno/Trent. Let's see! All the best :)
@maciejhajduk390 thanks! I need a new striker soon. Rest of the team I'm fairly happy with. Gvar I think it's the dark horse pick this week, not too sure about Phillip Walter Foden 😂 good luck!
@peterjohnson5872 yeah, he's just too expensive this year given their form. Castagne misses out because of my recs due to a trip to Stamford Bridge. Huijsen for 0.1m more at home to Palace, much nicer.
@@speardrops True, to be fair I didn't notice Robinson's omission as well, I fancy Fulham from GW19-26. I think there's at least an argument for Haaland if you have luxury transfers but 23-28 isn't great looking after the initial nice run into 2025. Thanks for the stats as always.
Happy Christmas Spear 🎄 What do you think of switching Jackson to Mateta in GW19? (I already have Isak and as a Chelsea fan I think Jackson will get rested for that game)
Fantastic video as usual Spear. I have a question. Would you take a -4 to bring saka out this week? Or would you just bench him and start robinson? And then deal with saka next week without taking a -4?
Almost got knocked out of the cup buy a person ranked 700k (he had Rice, Foden etc), but then Salah saved me. 89p with a small rank rise to 65k. Since I didnt have Saka or Cunha so no major issues in my team (benching Semenyo isnt working out great :D, it has been between him or Pedro and I have picked the wrong one). Decided to buy G. Jesus. Next week selling Bowen for someone (Foden or maybe Son)
Hey Spear, great video as always. I’ve got two free transfers, currently thinking either JP or Larsen and Saka out for Jesus and - well not sure. I was thinking Foden for the fixtures and low ownership, but because of pricing I’d have to drop JP over Larsen (frankly I’d prefer to keep JP as first on my bench rather than Larsen). This leaves me wondering who to bring in for Saka if I want to drop him and Larsen. I’m leaning towards Diaz or Gakpo - the former with his great form and the latter having started the last 5 games for Liverpool, although obvs both minutes risks. What are your thoughts?
@mttph Pedro has the better fixture and pens. Plus better team long term. Both have decent fixtures this week. I'd just do a Saka out move to Diaz or Fernandes.
2 free transfers. Gotta get out Cunha and Saka. Haaland and Amad? Or bruno and wood? I feel like it's a perfect time to pick haaland back but it seems high risk 😅
@@Watzpoppiin keep Cunha unless he gets the ban this week. Haaland is best if you can rationalize it. I prefer the cheap strikers next week and a safe pick in mid this week.
hello spears. need your help. i had originally mitoma to some cheapy planned as you suggested but now since saka is out, i'm very confused. please help raya, fabianski, taa, robinson, kerkez, milenkovic, greaves, salah, palmer, saka, bruno, mitoma, j.pedro, jackson, chiwome. i'm currently planning saka -> iwobi, mitoma -> sarr, bruno -> amad and then bring in haaland as differential. being a city fan, my gut says that one of haaland, foden or kdb will pick up form now as the fixtures are turning in easy
@@speardrops good shout Jota tempting too but as you said yourself Bruno pretty much nailed would you start Lewis or Robinson or -4 sell Lewis to Trent??or wait go Munoz next week
@qwikrthanquick5209 bad fixture and dodgy team, great form. Team in horrible form and pricey for his performances this season. Very high risk high reward. Diaz for me out of those, risk across all 3.
@ thanks for your advice and love your informative videos. I support Liverpool so I wanted triple up (him, salah and Trent) so I transferred him in before he just rose in price. If I brought in Sarr I would’ve had 3 budget mids (him, Enzo and Rogers) and I like foden’s fixture run, but I do as well for Diaz even if his min are dodgy. I did consider other mid options from your vid but I narrowed them down to those three from my previous comment
There is no clear replacement to Saka, which is good and bad. Lots of nice budget options but everything more expensive has a very obvious downside. One way is to punt and expect the worst. Can't be too disappointed then 😅.
@speardrops I'm a coward, saw Saka was going to drop, so I locked in Bruno. Got enough to upgrade Pedro to Solanke next week. Like having a piece of the spurs attack.
Merry Xmas Mate! 4.8k atm:
fancied a stupid double boxing day gamble this week 😆
Jesus, Szobo & Taa In.
Have a lovely one 🤙
Thanks to speardrops last GW we mercilessly cooked! in FPL..... letsgooo!!!
Have a good Christmas mate, sending all the best to you out in Canada! I’ll update on the Foden decision…
@hugodeane7445 you too Hugo! I'll be watching that game intently for your Phillip Walter pick 😂

Been waiting for the video Thoughts on Best replacement for Saka? Other MIDs are: Palmer, Salah, Semenyo, Rogers. Cheers!
@@cherineka7372 Fernandes!
Is this week a valid triple captain opportunity for Salah? Or better to wait for a double gameweek in future?
@joshuaharris6224 just wait for the double mate, we know he has one
Merry Christmas pal 👍👍101 pts this week with Rodgers on my bench back up to 840 k was nearly 3 mil few weeks ago👍👍
@Irishpitterrier love it mate and to you too. Huge turnaround. Maybe top 500k by 2025?
@speardrops 🤞 should of sold Halland earlier
@speardrops bench 1 Spear Rodgers Semenyo J Pedro hard 1 to call again this week

Who would you go between odegaard and Diaz to replace Saka and why
@lordducksalot3872 you too, mate. Ode for safety, Diaz for high risk high reward. I sway to Diaz currently...
I keep trying to squeeze in Haaland for this run but even after taking out Saka he costs too much. All in on Chelsea myself for a while.
4.2 Castagne gotta be recommended too, no?
@peterjohnson5872 yeah, he's just too expensive this year given their form. Castagne misses out because of my recs due to a trip to Stamford Bridge. Huijsen for 0.1m more at home to Palace, much nicer.

@peterjohnson5872 just pricing and fixtures for the lack of Haaland and Rob/Castagne support from me. Castagne will make an appearance again!

@@danhowlett29 you too, Dan! I like it. Solanke also a big option in 19.

@@medveten cheers 👍 I'd go for the -4. Can't see Robinson getting anything at Stamford Bridge and the Saka injury is long term. Low risk -4.
Thoughts on Semenyo to Sarr next week (gw19) for free.
Semenyos fixtures turn for the worse and Sarr just looks like the guy atm.
@@Zubbinho1 next week he looks fantastic, yes

@wasifshahzad5001 Just bin Saka for anyone of your choosing, I think you're overcomplicating it. Fernandes and Mitoma are top picks this week.
@speardrops whom do u suggest?
@speardrops I really wonder why son didn't make the list when foden did? Is he considerable? Especially in my scenario
@wasifshahzad5001 terrible fixture and bad xMins
@wasifshahzad5001 Fernandes
Sels asa keep option?
@chocobomtom he's okay, just wouldn't buy this week against a very strong Spurs attack.
