What the Fantasy Premier League podcasts said this week, before the deadline.

Andy argues Foden is a clear sell because his starting role is uncertain, while Cherki is a hold-or-sell depending on risk tolerance. He expects Doku to reclaim the left wing spot once fit, further compressing minutes for both players. He also notes Ndiaye started and played 86 minutes but warns his long-term minutes are untrustworthy for the same reason.

Andy advises against buying Van Dijk at 6.5m due to a tough fixture run and doubts Liverpool will keep clean sheets, recommending cheaper defenders around 5m like Van der Ven, Ranheim, and Mihajlovic for better value. He argues Konsa at 4.4m is incredible value and will likely stay in the starting XI alongside Gabriel until Saliba returns, making him a viable buy despite two away games.

Andy plans to transfer Cherki to Rogers to secure triple Chelsea attack before Rogers' price rises, accepting Carabao Cup rotation risk because Rogers is a minutes machine and the Hull fixture is strong. He notes Rogers is plus 85% progress at the time of recording and predicted to reach plus 177% by midnight.

Andy reports O'Reilly pulled up in the warm-up but Maresca indicated it doesn't seem bad, so benching him for Gameweek 4 is viable if he returns for Gameweek 5. He notes Vario would become nailed at left back if O'Reilly is absent, though competition returns when O'Reilly is fit.

Andy states Mbeumo and Bruno are not must-sells against Man City at home and will likely play 90 minutes until Almario returns, but switching to Chelsea attackers like Rogers or Palmer is acceptable for higher upside, especially with a wildcard. He asserts Mbeumo is the best goal threat in that Man United team from open play.

Andy notes Sangare was hooked at half-time after a yellow card and advises against buying him now due to slight rotation risk and a tough fixture run, though owners can bench him and reassess after the Bournemouth game. He reports Collins went off with a calf strain with no timeline, meaning owners should likely sell him, while Ayer's minutes are boosted and he becomes a viable Defcon option at 4.5m despite poor upcoming fixtures.
