I received a trade offer from a league mate for Marc Guehi and I am trying to find out his rough value.
Due to multiple users in this reddit community being other members I will not share the trade as I am looking for an unbiased valuation.
I’m mostly looking for a mid replacement as I believe Marc is already a premium defender in a 12 man league so no sense in trading for another def.
Mitoma, when will he play. Will decuyper drop deeper?
What do people think about Pedro Porro - drop or hold? (10 man league)
Pros: on set pieces, nailed when fit, goal threat, Spurs but have kept a couple of CS, high Draft Rank
Cons: injured until possibly later this month and Spurs are terrible
Some alternatives in my ML: Khalaili (but also possibly injured), Silva (BOU), Schuster, Ajer, Botman, Truffert, Lacroix
Ndiaye & Igor Jesus
For
Odegaard & Wright (waiver)
I genuinely rate both on the same level. I have tzolis at this moment and tempted to switch to manzambi on waiver. Do you find this reasonable?
Is Gomez going to get sidelined, or will Grob drop back to dm so can play cam? Curious to know

I feel like this week is pivotal in determining your players for the rest of the season. New transfers, but more importantly players that have started the season well and are still on your waiver wire just waiting to be picked up or bid on.
Transfer deadline didn’t disappoint this year, let’s face it the transfer market and the Premier League has truly lost the plot. I don’t understand how much players are worth these days and it seems that neither do INEOS as Man United weren’t tempted to join in with the deadline day shenanigans.
Monaco seemed to have fun at least, pissing off both Everton and Chelsea with both Florian Balogun and Lamine Camara transfers not following through. There’s not been this much drama since Real Madrids fax machine caused David De Gea’s transfer to collapse back in 2015.
I’m pretty buzzing not going to lie as I’ve started my season well, 2-0 in both my Fantrax leagues. Long may it continue, let’s get into some players.
Metrics are shown at the per 90 level and the length of petal is based on percentiles against all players in the league
Amar Dedic | NEW | 17% owned
Last GW: ~ (26-30) points vs. TOT (A) | Next GWs: BOU (H), LEE (A)
I’ve been really impressed with Amar Dedic so far, 3 games and 3 assists (two in the cup against West Brom). With Newcastle looking great so far under new boss Matthias Jaissle and their defence looking pretty solid, I think he is a must get if you can. Scoring ~30 points is a good indicator to his ceiling this year and with Tino Livromento made of glass, he looks likely to keep his place for a while.
Jorrel Hato | CHE | 18% owned
Last GW: ~ (11-16) points vs. BHA (H) | Next GWs: ARS (A), HUL (H)
Hato has averaged ~(8-20) points in the last two games and has looked bright at wing-back. Big question will be if he keeps his place when £47 million new signing Marco Palestra is fit again. Until that happens though, Hato could be a good pick. Especially with 5 goals conceded in two games and getting this good amount of points.
Reinildo | SUN | 10% owned
Last GW: ~ (12-14) points vs. FUL (H) | Next GWs: BRE (A), ARS (H)
Sunderland bounces back after a disappointing start to the season last week at Ipswich. Their defenders were solid assets last season and with such low ownership for Reinildo so far he could prove to be a steal if he continues his form from the first two games. If Sunderland perform well at Brentford then that will be a good sign to grab him.
Olivier Boscagli | BHA | 13% owned
Last GW: ~ (6-10) points vs. CHE (A) | Next GWs: LEE (H), COV (A)
Boscagli has looked pretty comfortable in his first two games playing at left-back and defensive midfield. I’m not sure if he’ll continue starting for the whole season, but if he does against Leeds at home and you’re desperate for an option I think he’ll be a good pick up. If it’s not him, look to Ferdi Kadioglu (58% owned) who will be looking to improve his performance from last week.

Kobbie Mainoo | MUN | 48% owned
Last GW: ~ (11-14) points vs. IPS (H) | Next GWs: EVE (A), MCI (H)
Watching Kobbie Mainoo on Sunday was a joy and I’m hoping, as a United supporter, that he shows Thomas Tuchel what he was missing not playing him this summer. His calmness under pressure and composure is something England missed and I can see him having a big season this year.
Malick Yalcouye | BHA | 3% owned
Last GW: ~ 10 points vs. CHE (A) | Next GWs: LEE (H), COV (A)
Whether or not you think he’s 20 or 35 years old, it doesn’t matter. Yalcouye had a great debut away at Chelsea. Yes, the result wasn’t great but Brighton did well to fight back and are missing some key players. Plus, Brighton quite often get their transfer right. Keep on eye on this kid or man.
Daichi Kamada | NEW | 10% owned
Last GW: ~ 11 points vs. MCI (H) | Next GWs: FUL (A), IPS (H)
Palace have had a tough start to the season, but now with some favourable fixtures coming up it might worth looking at some of their squad. Kamada has been consistent in his first two games and could be a steady option for your fourth or fifth spot midfielder.
Ross Barkley | ASV | 20% owned
Last GW: ~ 10 points vs. ARS (H) | Next GWs: HUL (A), NOT (H)
I don’t think Barkley was particularly great against Arsenal, but he has put up pretty decent ghost points so far this season (9 per game). I’m not sure what his playing time will be like this season with new signings Joāo Gomes and Leon Goretzka, but whenever he plays he seems so have a somewhat decent floor.He’ll be worth keeping on eye other the next few weeks.

Dan Ndoye | NOT | 31% owned
Last GW: ~ 17 points vs. LIV (A) | Next GWs: TOT (H), ASV (A)
Could we be getting the Ndoye form which he quite often shows for the Swiss national team? It looks like he has started life well under Oliver Glasner, starting both games and scoring with a cool finish against Liverpool. Hopefully, he can rise to his potential this season and if he does you’ll want him on your team.
Charalampos Kostoulas | BHA | 17% owned
Last GW: ~ 13 points vs. CHE (A) | Next GWs: LEE (H), COV (A)
I think Brighton have a star in the making in Kostoulas and he’s been given an early start this season with Rutter’s injury and Welbeck moving to Chelsea. With an assist last weekend at home to Leeds this weekend I fancy him to get another start and I can see him scoring to. His per90 stats were very impressive last season with taking about 5+ shots a game and being in the top 10 percentile for expected goals and assists. Keep an eye on him.
Promise David | BHA | 16% owned
Last GW: ~ 13 points vs. CHE (A) | Next GWs: LEE (H), COV (A)
Can David Promise to be a successful fantasy asset? I don’t know, but he is massive though standing at 6’5” so he’ll definetly compete for aerial duels. He will be competing for that spot with Kostoulas and Rutter, so at home to Leeds might be an opportunity for him to show the league and Brighton what he has to offer.
Tyrique George | EVE | 35% owned
Last GW: ~ (6-7) points vs. BOU (A) | Next GWs: MUN (H), TOT (A)
I picked up George last weekend and he put again put up a pretty decent floor of ghost points (9per game) for a third choice forward this season. With Iliman Ndiaye leaving I’d imagine this increases George’s minutes a lot this season - even with Jack Grealish returning back to Merseyside. If he breaks out this season and starts adding goals, he’s gonna be some asset.

Bradley Barcola | LIV | -% owned
Transfered from: PSG | Next GWs: IPS (A), FUL (H)
Someone in one of my leagues, spent 99% of their FAAB on Barcola and I’ve got to admit, it would be pretty hilarious if he’s a bust. I don’t think he will be, but let’s face it Liverpool might take some time this season to get going. If he can improve on 11 goals, like he did last season for PSG, then Barcola might ignite a Liverpool resurgence, or if he doesn’t he might end up struggling like Wirtz.
Ibrahim Mbaye | ASV | -% owned
Transfered from: PSG | Next GWs: HUL (A), NOT (H)
Villa have been busy deadline day and have splashed out on 18 year old wonder kid Ibrahim Mbaye. He looks a very exciting prospect and although he’s still learning the game he could be a great third of fourth choice forward as I see Villa turning things around with some good fixtures coming up.
Matias Fernandez-Pardo | NEW | -% owned
Transfered from: Lille | Next GWs: BOU (H), LEE (A)
I did a little research on Fernandez-Pardo and some other young forwards a while back. He’s a pretty versatile forward who played across all three attacking positions for Lille. He registered 8 goals and 5 assists, not amazing, but something to work on and he’s only 20 years old. To be honest, £51 million sound like a lot of money, but lets be real in this market it sounds about right.
Leon Goretzka | ASV | -% owned
Transfered from: Bayern Munich | Next GWs: HUL (A), NOT (H)
Can the experienced Goretzka be the answer to Aston Villas woefully start? He got 5 goals and 3 assists from midfield last year and has knack of being in the right place at the right time. The 30 year old is the experience Villa needed to sign after losing so many key players this summer.
Thank for reading and good luck this weekend.
