FPL FAQs (GW6) 🤔💭

In this thread, I'll answer some community questions ahead of GW6

I've ordered them from large-scale, meta questions at the start to small-scale questions at the end

(These are just my opinion 😄)

Q: Right time to Wildcard?

This season, there's no perfect time for WC1 as I don't see the core template of 6-7 assets changing soon (unless injuries)

Imo, assuming you have a template team, Wildcard in a week where you want to sell 3-5 of those remaining assets

Q: How to approach UCL congestion?

Now until the World Cup, we want to target assets with higher xmins, but still with high ceilings

If an asset is a rotation risk, their floor and ceiling when playing must both be very high

GW6 Man City Tactical Thoughts 🧠 and Starting Odds 🎲 (avl)

Only three days after the Forest game, City travel to take on Villa

The game comes just three days before City's trip to Sevilla

Here's how I think City approach the Villa game, with starting odds for each player ⬇️

Tactical Thoughts 🧠

Villa have played a few different formations, dependent on their attackers, but they set up with a back 4 and a midfield 3 consisting of Mcginn+Kamara+(Douglas Luiz/Ramsey)

Villa have started the season poorly, with only 3 of a possible 15 points earned

Normally I try to identify the identity of the opponent, but at the moment Villa lack just that

They have been playing dysfunctional football, although their expected stats are not terrible

Againsy City, Villa tend to sit back, waiting for moments to spring forward and attack

Predicted Starting XI for Man City vs Nottingham Forest (GW5) 🔮

Ederson
Cancelo-Stones-Dias-Gomez
Rodri
KDB-Gundogan
Alvarez-Haaland-Foden

In the back line, I expect a Dias-Stones partnership with Ake assumedly injured

While I gave Walker higher starting odds due to precedence, I believe this is a great game for Gomez to get his first start and shift Cancelo over to the right

I expect a midfield trio of Rodri, KDB, and Gundo - Phillips is likely still out and Gundo is better suited against 5atb teams than Bernardo; don't need to say anything about KDB

Pep Press Conference Quotes 🎙
GW5 - Man City vs Forest

On Haaland impressing so far:
"We are delight[ed], hopefully he feels good, comfortable, being here."

On Haaland adjusting to the Prem:
"I have another opinion about that, we didn't have doubts... we're still managing to improve, to be better players, we are working on that."

On Julian Alvarez being an easy replacement for Haaland:
"Definitely, when Erling doesn't play, he's going to play - Julian - that's almost, almost sure."

GW5 Man City Tactical Thoughts 🧠 and Starting Odds 🎲 (NFO)

In GW5, City face a visiting Forest in the first midweek game of the season

How can we expect City to setup and what can we predict from Pep Roulette?

This is the first 5atb team City has faced since Bournemouth in GW2

We'll see what approach Forest take on Wednesday, but so far this season they have tried to play on the front foot

Trying to do that against City is a difficult task, so they may opt to sit in a low-block

Against a front foot 5atb team, Pep would want players to either counterattack quickly or slow the game down and retain the ball

Against a low block 5atb team, Pep would want wingers who can draw the wingbacks wide and attackers who excel at operating in tight spaces
