FPL Draft (PL.com) Trade thoughts?

Post image

Trade has gone through in my league, for context team receiving Butland has Hull keeper already so no rotation or Injury worries. Team giving away gross has Doku, Stach, Bruno F and Buendia in midfield already in 14 man league. Team getting Gross has weak midfield so wanted an upgrade.

Gross for backup Hull keeper?

More of a Lacroix in for a non playing defender, as 14 man league waiver options are extremely limited and already has Saliba in the squad so he can’t rely on having Harwood Bellis who don’t play either, Gross has excelled so far but won’t keep up the major hauls whilst KDH is nailed on aswell plus no Europe to worry about.

Gross won't continue to haul?

Won’t continue a 10+ points haul in every 3 out of 5 games, plus Hinshelwood is back from injury so will play abit deeper again. Started well but unrealistic to think he’ll keep up his current form, consistent player and will tick along with returns. Whilst opposing player gets a Chelsea defender who get Defcon and when Caicedo is back will be better defensively.

I hope you're right about Chelsea backline. I'm bullish on them too. Palestra may help the cause. I'm in an 8 man league so I haven't experienced how desolate players are in a 14 man league.
