Niko’s Supercoach EPL Watchlist | Round 7


<p>Back to a triple-figure score in GW6, which I feel good about, as it brought another rank rise.  </p>



<p>Unfortunately though, the team has some issues with Livramento succumbing to injury and Bruno and Esteve deciding to be double agents and provide negative scores.  </p>



<p>I’m still coming to terms with Esteve conceding two own goals and losing £1.2M from a zero breakeven.  </p>



<p>I had plans to trade him, but I don’t even think it’s worth it now.  </p>



<p>Another point of frustration is that Diouf got the assist in FPL, but not Supercoach!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Buy</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Sean Longstaff (£6.56M, Leeds MID, B/E -20)</strong></p>



<p>The absolute must buy cash cow this week as he could go up £5M in two weeks.  </p>



<p>I’m also more than happy to play him with the fixtures over the next three weeks – Spurs home/Burnley Away/West Ham home.  </p>



<p>Sold.</p>



<p><strong>Benjamin Šeško (£4.37M, Manchester United FWD, B/E -5)</strong></p>



<p>IF, and I repeat, IF you need a cheap forward, this guy is probably the play and only 2% owned.</p>



<a id='fYmCJ5syQEhmZdLFtY4PDg' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237693970' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'fYmCJ5syQEhmZdLFtY4PDg',sig:'k4TsDjp2eSqyEWqoBqwPV5G4MFbxm_OtcMGT3-8m4uI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2237693970',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Emiliano Buendía (£5.12M, Aston Villa MID, B/E -4)</strong></p>



<p>Could be a shout as he came on at the half and Villa started cooking, and he produced a goal and an assist.  </p>



<p>However, I’d be watching the team sheets closely before committing.</p>



<p><strong>Declan Rice (£7.89M, Arsenal MID, B/E 0)</strong></p>



<p>The Arsenal fixture swing is now, and they even started performing before it came.  </p>



<p>On some set pieces, and got the assist from a short corner against my boys with a perfect cross to Merino.</p>



<a id='qnWoU_BCRNRXy8XYeZtDtw' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2238639676' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'qnWoU_BCRNRXy8XYeZtDtw',sig:'SA41DmlE3tbaH8pSarLpq_OgnPFbHufJI0y8pXJsPh8=',w:'594px',h:'440px',items:'2238639676',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Gabriel (£10.77M, Arsenal DEF, B/E 2)</strong></p>



<p>His aerial threat from corners is something else, and he gets the late winning goal to score 25 points.  </p>



<p>I’m doubly disappointed as it cost my team a point, and I went with Virgil over him a few weeks ago, despite doing the opposite in FPL.  </p>



<p>The ideal set-and-forget pick if you can afford him, if you can’t, go for his sidekick, Saliba.</p>



<p><strong>Anthony Gordon (£6.56M, Newcastle FWD, B/E 12)</strong></p>



<p>A pod option, as it’s confirmed he’s now on penalties and only in 107 teams, which are probably ghost ships.  </p>



<p>I feel like he’s ready to repay his teammates and fans, and the fixtures turn as of now.</p>



<a id='UoBCsyQzRA1GqKGskGKeSQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237934892' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'UoBCsyQzRA1GqKGskGKeSQ',sig:'RYyumJ4Je2f-3vH675I5dZ6PX0zzj8-T8a_0q2GH1Qg=',w:'594px',h:'451px',items:'2237934892',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Viktor Gyökeres (£7.59M, Arsenal FWD, B/E 16)</strong></p>



<p>Recommending a trade in with such a high breakeven may look like madness, but if he nets a double against the Hammers, he makes money.  </p>



<p>As previously mentioned, the tough Arsenal run is over, and they could/should beat up on some poor sides.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hold &#8211; Watch</strong></h3>



<p><strong>João Pedro (£9.81M, Chelsea FWD, B/E 21)</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Chelsea assets are so interesting, with a couple of very poor performances and a red card fetish appearing.  </p>



<p>One shot in three matches for Pedro screams sell, but he’s been dealing with a niggle and gets a rest before the Sunderland at home match after Arsenal – thanks to a red card of his own in the Champions League.  </p>



<p>I feel like he’s a hold as hopefully Palmer is back around this time too, and the fixtures are good mid-term.  </p>



<p>Big watch on their defenders and keeper as they will bottom out very cheaply soon!</p>



<a id='CC8Sy1c8T7FlX6UZfoqduQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237747525' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'CC8Sy1c8T7FlX6UZfoqduQ',sig:'KbgWekcrXybQnhUrbY56rVZ4juLy1DoEp41hB5E1hJc=',w:'594px',h:'482px',items:'2237747525',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Micky van de Ven (£8.98M, Tottenham Hotspur DEF, B/E 19)&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>I’ve seen some people selling, and I think it’s a mistake before playing Leeds.  </p>



<p>On the score sheet in the Champions League mid-week, and could go close to his breakeven.</p>



<p><strong>Mohamed Salah (£10.13M, Liverpool FWD, B/E 18)</strong></p>



<p>Not starting Salah has been a great call as he continues to struggle with new teammates around him.  </p>



<p>Something is not clicking with the Liverpool attack, but be ready to pounce when it does, whether it be a bottomed-out Salah, or a bottomed-out Isak.  </p>



<p>I think I&#8217;ll keep watching for now.</p>



<a id='BR2Z7cJITYR_j6icOcXgdA' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237753827' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'BR2Z7cJITYR_j6icOcXgdA',sig:'Ho9Nt4J2vSSx71N4bmrhWTDWx2fQ5HL_JCFxzKoWrk0=',w:'594px',h:'406px',items:'2237753827',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£10.07M, Manchester United MID, B/E 15)</strong></p>



<p>What a troll.  </p>



<p>The swings for both points and money when you’re on pens are wild in this format.  </p>



<p>I want to sell him as he may be off pens now, as Mbeumo has a great record, but I can’t before a home match against a promoted side.  </p>



<p>Praying for a bounce back and double-digit score.</p>



<p><strong>Rodri (£4.2M, Manchester City MID, B/E 3)</strong></p>



<p>They’ve been easing him back in, and I think there’s no value in selling him right now.  </p>



<p>His minutes will have to increase, and I’m holding long-term, or until he makes some serious cash.  </p>



<p>61 minutes in the Champions League mid-week suggests he could start this weekend.</p>



<a id='z8eNIx2xSaFa9HcktFKSYQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237340014' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'z8eNIx2xSaFa9HcktFKSYQ',sig:'GfbE7n9vwn8CCyGE-4JPzX3zWe6HuRsa3A-ED5ErPhA=',w:'594px',h:'404px',items:'2237340014',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Igor Thiago (£7.36M, Brentford FWD, B/E -5)</strong></p>



<p>Well done if you held and especially if you had him on field!  </p>



<p>If you missed the points, just keep holding and enjoy the price rises.  </p>



<p>I bloody sold.</p>



<p><strong>Santiago Bueno (£5.8M, Wolverhampton DEF, B/E -11)</strong></p>



<p>I can’t be buying into every defender who scores a jammy goal.  </p>



<p>Watching for long-term appeal.</p>



<a id='PWnFociPTYdIihPgjwMRyQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2230663880' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'PWnFociPTYdIihPgjwMRyQ',sig:'cJ8VYVVA9dvr4lLgqZ8wTkg6DFerM9kRfFkMbsHT_yc=',w:'594px',h:'413px',items:'2230663880',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sell</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Trevoh Chalobah (£10.24M, Chelsea DEF, B/E 18)</strong></p>



<p>Will miss this week against Liverpool due to suspension, and it could be a great time to move him to someone like Gabriel.  </p>



<p>If you already have Gab, I will consider holding Trevoh as the fixtures post are nice, if you can cover him well enough this week.</p>



<p><strong>Jack Grealish (£8.85M, Everton MID, B/E 15)</strong></p>



<p>I think the time is right to move him on as he’s topped out and cannot play against his parent club the week after – on loan from Man City.  </p>



<p>He has served us very well, +£5 profit on his starting price.</p>



<a id='CpOdErJBQ4dorji26_Zz0A' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2238110561' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'CpOdErJBQ4dorji26_Zz0A',sig:'3vAq5fFQKpxPdZpGDLR6sfy9hqYspo8mMuCFjBMP1Dg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2238110561',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£6.68M, Everton MID, B/E 13)</strong></p>



<p>Out this week, thanks to his 5<sup>th</sup> yellow card of the season.  </p>



<p>Some of those, including the latest, were ridiculously harsh, but not seeing the appeal in holding him. </p>



<p><strong>Tino Livramento (£7.39M, Newcastle DEF, B/E 9)</strong></p>



<p>He won’t be back until GW12 due to a knee injury, so a must sell.  </p>



<p>Ideally, we can make enough cash elsewhere to upgrade him to Gabriel or another season-long keeper, or straight swap him to Lewis Hall.</p>



<a id='lOMthTmPTBtXfjSI5wkAwQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2238425961' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lOMthTmPTBtXfjSI5wkAwQ',sig:'sqz178m3hoooHku5RyYYn7LIwVnp25-pP1OlnOnhX4g=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2238425961',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>El Hadji Malick Diouf (£7.76M, West Ham DEF, B/E 4)</strong></p>



<p>I think I’m learning from my Esteve mistake and cutting ties at the +£4M profit with Arsenal away this weekend.  </p>



<p>His points have all been based upon assists, which surely can’t continue in the long-term despite how forward he gets.  </p>



<p>I do like the fixtures post-Arsenal, and I expect West Ham to improve under Nuno, so holding should also be fine.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Current Trade Plans and Captains</strong></h3>



<p><strong>OUT:</strong><strong> </strong>Grealish + Livramento + Diouf</p>



<p><strong>IN:&nbsp; </strong><strong></strong>Longstaff + Gabriel + Saliba</p>



<p><strong>Bank: </strong><strong></strong>£200,000<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>VC:</strong> Gabriel</p>
