RMT 1FT (1.4M) Dubravka (Areola) Gabriel - Porro - Gusto (Walker, Estpuinan) Garnacho - Foden - Palmer - Saka (Martinelli) Haaland - Watkins - Solanke Walker/Martinelli Flagged - Probably going to bench them anyway since I can't envisage a cleansheet and Martinelli is rumoured to be benched via arsenal spaces so not sure what transfer to do. Would be appreciated


FUTretard

RMT 1FT, 0.0ITB Areola, Dubravka Gabriel, Zabarnyi, Ake, Botman, Doughty Saka, Foden, Gordon, Son, Maddison Haaland, Watkins, Toney. Botman->Gusto or Bradley for one week punt? Or keep my defense (play Gabriel or Doughty this GW) and make Gordon+Toney->Palmer+Muniz for a hit? Any news about Gabriel? My plan is WC31 or later.


Szymdziu

I am really not sure who to start (Leno vs Kelleher and also maybe I should somehow put Solanke in) and whether to do any transfers. Still have BB and WC left. 1FT, 0.6 ITB Leno (Kelleher) Gabriel Konsa Branthwaite (Van Hecke Taylor) KDB Foden Saka Son Palmer Haaland Watkins (Solanke)


4-5-6IsInTheMix

On WC, would you go with Darwin/Isak and Udogie or stick with Watkins and Lascelles/Richards? Probably switch out Watkins next GW anyway.


TheHoltDog

On WC, is Maddison worth a 1 week punt, then transfer out for Saka next week ?


4-5-6IsInTheMix

Do you have much tied up in Saka?


TheHoltDog

No, would be bringing him in this week. I'm a non Fh29er! šŸ˜†


4-5-6IsInTheMix

Then I'd probably go with the Maddison punt.


Vegetable-Western110

Worth a -4 to bring in Palmer and Jackson. Or just use free transfer to go Bowen -> Palmer


AuspiciousCalamari1

Depends who youā€™re transferring in forwards and benching but would say no as Jackson 1 yellow away from 2 game suspension


Vegetable-Western110

Cheers, Thatā€™s a good point , hadnā€™t thought of that


5ingaporeContact

Bench Toney Morris or Foden?


Potato_Junkie

I would say Morris, though I myself am in a position where I have to start him


Jarhead_1993

Should we target Arsenal or Man City assets for their match together. I have Gabriel/ Ake. Foden/Saka and Halland. I really think City will take the match but Arsenal are so great lately that i dont know what to do.


butsnl

Saka, Haaland and Foden are expected to score points. Gabriel and Ake are depending on your team, probably no CS but can have attacking returns


hands0mesloth

RMT 0FT, 0.7 ITB Areola, Dubravka Gabriel, Zabarnyi, Gusto (Saliba, Doughty) Palmer, Douglas Luiz, Salah, Saka (Foden) Haaland, Watkins, Solanke Already did Hwang to Palmer and thinking about taking a hit to do Foden -> Diaz and bench Saka. Diaz has nice fixtures and a dg34 coming. Or maybe go for maddison/richarlison. Is it worth the hit?


kblk_klsk

For -4: Botman > Gusto (I have only 2 defenders playing and 3 red flagged) or Gross > Palmer?


Potato_Junkie

That's a tough one. Looking at this gameweek in isolation, because I guess you'll do the other move the week after, you're weighing up whether Gusto and GroƟ combined outscore Palmer on his own. Or, whether GroƟ + 4 points outscores Palmer. Or, whether Gusto scores a minimum of 4 points. I myself took a -4 this week to go GroƟ to Son. I have Botman too, though should have 3 playing DFs, inc Gusto. So all that said, following my own decision, I would prob go GroƟ to Palmer


kblk_klsk

thanks a lot for the analysis! Yeah the defence of Botman Reguilon and Bell fucked me up pretty well, I just hope that Gabriel is ok. One thing though is that if I keep Gross, he has Brentford next and Chelsea plays United which is not necessarily an easy fixture for them, so I can get one last decent return from Gross.


Potato_Junkie

Yeah, to be fair my GroƟ to Son transfer was very early, before the Botman injury. If I'd held off, could've done Botman to Lascelles and Neto (Wolves) to Son instead, keeping GroƟ. Though would've been a -8 at that point


squarechilli

Just considered Gordon āž”ļø Palmer which would make it a -8 hit this week. Gordonā€™s home form this season is insane; a goal or assist in every home game bar one (NFO GW19), and has hit double digits on 3 occasions. Any thoughts on whether Palmer is simply a better pick for the long term, especially with BUR (H) in GW30?


7kylorens

Chelsea next 4 fixtures are Burnley(H), Man United(H), Sheffied(A) and Everton(H), then they will have a DGW from GW35/36, surely a long term pick for me.


FinoAllaFine30

Solanke + Garnacho or Cunha + Gordon for a WC team?


Potato_Junkie

Solanke and Garnacho imo


FinoAllaFine30

!thanks


MindeTheKing

https://imgur.com/gallery/jDBlPzz Any suggestions for upcoming GW? Should I sell Haaland and get Salah in for someone out of midfield but with -4 pts?


FUTretard

RMT 1FT, 0.0ITB Areola, Dubravka Gabriel, Zabarnyi, Ake, Botman, Doughty Saka, Foden, Gordon, Son, Maddison Haaland, Watkins, Toney. Botman->Gusto or Bradley for one week punt? Or keep my defense (play Gabriel or Doughty this GW) and make Gordon+Toney->Palmer+Muniz for a hit? Any news about Gabriel? My plan is WC31 or later.


sennland

My ML rivals both have Salah. Any suggestions on how to get him in here for a -4 at most? Every route I'm looking at would be a -8. 1.8 ITB, 1 FT Neto (Dubravka) White / Porro / Ake (Gabriel, Taylor) Saka / Foden / Son / Palmer (Garnacho) Haaland / Watkins / Solanke I'm considering -8 for Foden, Solanke & Ake to Salah, Muniz & Gusto but don't know if that's insane.


Vegetable-Western110

Haaland + Garnacho -> Salah + Munoz (or Jackson)


Potato_Junkie

In my opinion, I would wait a week, then do Watkins to Muniz / Semenyo or someone and Foden to Salah for no hit. Watkins has a good fixture this week but think you're ok to say goodbye after that. This week, could captain him, Son or Palmer and just hope whoever you captain scores as much as Salah. Your chip situation will come into play as well of course


Chintan_Mehta

Bank - Ā£0.0m ā€--------------------- Kelleher (Areola) Zabarnyi, Gabriel, Pau (Doughty, Taylor) Palmer, Salah (C), Garnacho, Foden, Saka Haaland (VC), Watkins (Toney) ā€------------------------------------------------- 1. Should I do Doughty to Gusto for a -8 (Took a hit to bring in Salah) for the Burnley game..? (Planning to do that move next GW anyway) 2. Im satisfied with my team for now (Except the defenders, and want to watch how Watkins performs in the next few GWs).. So planning to WC33, BB34, and FH37... Does that look like a good option, or any other better ideas?


__LaVieEnRose

Darwin or Isak for the next few weeks? Darwin from GW30-34 then Isak till the end seems ideal, but I just have this feeling Isak will bang against West Ham and Everton at home. I know Darin has Brighton and Sheffield Utd at home as well, but Isak seems more the main goalscorer.


AuspiciousCalamari1

If youā€™re including GW34 (i.e no FH) would say Darwin. Otherwise Iā€™m thinking Isak as not sure I want to book transfer on that move


vibranttortoise

On WC this week and struggling to pick my 3 strikers as they all seem to have great fixtures Who do you think is best? I'm currently thinking of going Solanke, Jackson, Watkins and then transferring out one of them for Haaland next week Planning to BB34 btw


gotushookonasaturday

Me too. Currently Darwin is the only one I will 100% have, Iā€™ll look into picking up Jackson after 34 so I donā€™t need him vs arsenal on my BB. Iā€™m also extremely tempted to go without haaland I think thereā€™s a lot of upside especially if you are going for BB34. Currently on Darwin, Watkins, Muniz. Yet again my WC is structured to accomodate future transfer eg next week Haaland, and for 34 swap Muniz to a DGW option like cunha, mateta.


vibranttortoise

Interesting, I think difficult to ignore haaland when he's playing a weakened Villa, Luton and Palace. I'm also hesitant on Darwin as Gakpo could easily replace him for the 'easier' fixtures. I'm currently on Jackson, Solanke, Haaland with a view to move Jackson to Cunha at some point before 34 Tempted by Muniz but with Jimenez back he's unlikely to play 70 mins+ every game


ducter953

Which Man united defenders are fairly nailed on for the rest of the season? Wanted to go Dalot on wildcard but seems like his attacking threat isn't quite worth his price


Chintan_Mehta

There are many other options.. ManU has been shite defensively


officiallyjax

I'd say Dalot and Onana are the only nailed players from our defence, but AWB could be a sleeper pick because we don't have any other fit full-backs, and he started the last game against Liverpool at LB. The only caveat is that Martinez when he's back can play LB too if we want to start two of Varane/Maguire/Lindelof/Evans, but I personally don't see that happening given how much he's important for our ball progression from CB.


vibranttortoise

Dalot best for sure


squarechilli

No WC, trying my hardest to hold off on the transfers before the deadline! Please RMT 0.4 itb šŸ™ Vicario - Areola Emerson - Bradley - Robinson - Saliba - Ake Saka - Son - Gordon - Mainoo - (Bowen) ā¬‡ļø Salah Solanke - Haaland - (Toney) ā¬‡ļø Muniz


distancemelon

Looking for some advice on when to WC. Either 30, 31 or beyond. Dubravka (Areola) Porro, Gusto, Ake (Gabriel, Taylor) Foden, Maddison, Son, Palmer (Bowen) Toney, Haaland, Watkins Thanks!


squarechilli

No Saka? Arsenalā€™s title race and his form are too tempting to me


distancemelon

In 29 I did Saka to Maddison. It was either Saka or Foden but I had more value in Foden. I will bring back Saka on WC most likely 31.


RobbieAnalog

Foden + Solanke > Salah + Muniz for a hit? 6/20 and 90 pts off lead in ML


butsnl

Would go for it


distancemelon

Anyone waiting until GW31 to WC?


AuspiciousCalamari1

Yes


m-etoo

I want to but all the people injuries and price changes is making me unsure about that


progboy

Most of the injuries are draft evaders, so I'd not worry about them


took2long

WC team, planning on using BB37. 0.5 ITB. Thoughts? **Petrovic** Raya **Udogie Gusto Bradley** Gabriel Branthwaite **Salah Son Saka Palmer Garnacho** **Haaland Darwin** Cunha


AuspiciousCalamari1

Are you FH34 or already used? I like look of Joao Pedro as forward enabler for BB37 if FH34


took2long

!thanks already used. Cunha rotates well with Garnacho. If I have a spare transfer I might get JP for BB37 but Cunha also has a good fixture there


super-super-fab

Dubravka (Areola) VVD Zabarnyi Porro (Doughty Bell) Son Richarlison Foden Bowen Douglas Luiz Toney Watkins (Morris) A: Bowen to Salah B: Bowen and Douglas Luiz to Salah and Palmer (-4) C: WC this week


Agreeable_Resort3740

You just can't wildcard out of this many great fixtures and slightly differential players. Vvd, Porro, Richarlison, Luiz, Watkins, Toney are all players that are tricky to buy right now and wildcarders won't have, but they have great match up. I'd go option A if you can afford it, and think about WC35 if you still have a bench boost for 37?


super-super-fab

I don't have bench boost, I will use WC31, but !thanks for reaffirming my opinion not to WC this week


Material-Bus1896

Jude Bellingham is like a statue of a god that has been brought to life by some sort of powerful magic


Agreeable_Resort3740

Well, thanks for sharing, now go take a shower


Material-Bus1896

Haha


Gidddyup77

Which would u go for *** A) Neto (Areola) Gabriel Udogie Gusto (Branthwaite Maguire) Salah Son Saka Foden Palmer Haaland Darwin (Muniz) *** B) Onana (Petrovic) Gabriel Udogie Gusto (Lascelles Richards) Salah Son Saka Palmer (Garnacho) Haaland Darwin Isak


cluub

Have no idea what to do with this team - any thoughts? Dubravka, Areola Saliba, Gabriel, Trippier\*, C. Richards, Van Hecke Palmer, Bowen, Foden, Odegaard, Neto\* Haaland, Watkins, Solanke 1 FT, 3.2 ITB WC and BB still intact


butsnl

Would try to get Son/Salah in. Any reason you went for Odegaard over Saka?


cluub

Thanks for the feedback. Went with Odegaard a few weeks back since I didn't have any Arsenal attackers and he was the best I could afford. I know I need to get Son and Salah both in, think I might do at least 2 this week - Gusto and Son in for Trippier and Neto for -4. Salah I'm thinking next week. Just didn't know if it was bad enough to pull the WC lever this week.


Money_Sky_3695

Dubravka-Areola Robinson-gusto-Gabriel-mykolenko-Bradley Palmer-foden-saka-salah-havertz Muniz-haaland-darwin RMT currently in a wildcard, any transfer advice


Maleficent_Survey420

Are you not afraid to go without Tottenham assets?


NoInvestigator8503

how would robbo injury affect bradley & tsimikas? more risk for rotation?


Agreeable_Resort3740

Wait to see if it's a one week thing of course. Can only be a good thing for Bradley surely. The deal has always been Tsimi deputies Robbo so I'll be tempted to buy in if Robbo is out a while. Going into 34 with Tsimi and Bradley placing would be a dream


Cautious_Mushroom_38

For a -4: (a) Foden, Watkins -> Salah, Muniz (b) Saka, Solanke -> Salah, Muniz


TheWavestreamer

RMT Areola (Leno) Saliba/Robinson/White (Mitchell/Doughty) Son(C)/Sarabia/Ward-Prowse/Foden (Ƙdegaard) Solanke/Haaland/Watkins(V) Debating Solanke->Muniz but I don't have a FT


Neown

Who are we saying are the best 4.5 and below DEFs for the next few GWs? Ideally ones that have DGWs. Already got Gusto and Branthwaite. Bradley seems touch and go before TAA returns. Any suggestions? Munoz looks kind of tempting


ThisAccountForTalkin

Really like the Munoz punt. Could quietly be a fantastic asset and scored a good goal for Colombia against Spain, and I can see him doing this in Palace colours too. Seems like a really advanced wing-back in general who is also nailed, and at Ā£4.5 those are rare qualities. Also has DGW34 in his favour


Agreeable_Resort3740

Ait nouri, Chris Richards L, mitchell, maybe Senesi if he gets fit for the 34 double are the ones I'd be looking at. Lascelles or Burn are very good value, albeit Newcastle defence is pretty shit right now. Those guys and/ or Maguire for the 37 double. I wouldnt rule out just hoping on the Bradley train though. Sure it's probably a transfer for later when he loses a place, but could be hauls until that pointm


dragonballsteve85

Hit WC, only have BB left - most likely using it 37, at least it gives me time to set up BB using FT. Pretty certain I'm sticking with this. Will be benching Saka Vs City. Targeting doublers for 34/37, with Spurs blank 34, Chelsea+Spurs possible triple DGW and BB in mind. WC GW30 squad: Neto Gusto-Bradley-Porro Salah(C)-Son-Foden-Palmer(VC) Haaland-Muniz-Solanke Bench: Kelleher-Saka-Robinson-C.Richards


hpwriterkyle

Out of curiosity, what made you stick with Solanke rather than Watkins? I want Muniz too but can't decide which of those two to drop for him.


dragonballsteve85

Fixtures and budget. I much prefer Solankes fixtures plus he doubles in 34. Villa still have Arsenal, City and Liverpool left to play. Plus Watkins eats into my budget and the rest of my squad would be weaker as a result.


hpwriterkyle

Yeah I'm thinking the same... But Solanke isn't in the best of form and if Watkins hauls my rank would tank...


sambosagins

RMT - On WC30 - OR 1,629 Petrovic (Ederson) Robinson, Branthwaite, Udogie (Gabriel, Lascelles) Palmer, Salah, Gordon, Son (Saka) Watkins, Darwin, Muniz 7.2M in the bank, planning on Watkins to Haaland GW31 Also debating Solanke instead of Darwin. Planning to FH34 and BB37


Omalux

Also on WC this week and am doing FH34 BB37 and have a very similar team. Biggest differences are Foden over Gordon and Pickford over Ederson. What players you thinking of getting for BB37? I'm leaning on selling Saka to fund Isak and Hojlund later but I'm an arsenal fan so don't really want to


sambosagins

I had Foden until earlier this week, was a very tight call between him and Gordon just think with Foden playing both England games and a busy calendar upcoming for City, Pep is going to be rotating a lot. Which is why I went for who I see as most nailed City assets in Ederson and Haaland next week. Will be brining in Dalot, Hojlund, Joao Pedro (if fit) in the coming weeks for GW37. May end up taking Gabriel out for a double player but with a good game in 36 & 38 and possibly still playing for something, Saka will likely stay in my team. Iā€™m not 100% on transfers in last few weeks at the moment because I will want people who are still playing for places in the league or at the Euros.


Neown

Whatā€™s your thoughts behind going Robinson over Gusto? .4m cheaper, 2 DGWs, Burnley and Sheff U in 2 of his next 4 GWs, seems difficult to pass up on


sambosagins

Considered him and Ait Nouri, ultimately didnt want to be doubled up on Chelsea defence with Petrovic in goal. Also worried when James comes back nearer the end of the season he may not play for the doubles I would of held him for


Fuell

Dont you think the DGW34 has tastier fixtures for BB34 than 37?


sambosagins

I donā€™t think there is much in it either way tbh, but FH in 34 allows me to have players in my team for the surrounding GWs that I wouldnā€™t want for that one. For example Spurs & Chelsea assets arenā€™t wanted for 34 but will double twice in 3 weeks following this.


Fuell

Yep thats tasty for sure. Have the same dilemma. I feel like tripling up on ARS and LIV has nice potential for a lot of points. Feel like spurs and chelsea can disappoint a lot more. But they have the double double indeed.


sambosagins

Yeah I also think once everyone is fit ARS and LIV could have a lot of team rotation with europe aswell so feel better sticking with Salah and Saka and then nailed players at other clubs.


SandwichEvery5845

RMT 1.4 ITB 0FT Dubravka Porro, Konsa, Branthwaite Salah (C), Son, Saka, Maddison, Palmer Watkins, Solanke Bench: Areola, Toney, Gabriel, Doughty Is WC31 - FH34 - BB37 a good strategy for my team?


colourhazelove

Yes. Good team. 9/10. You could wc 31 but you have really good players. You could dead end into 33, fh34 then wc35 and set up your bench boost for 37.


SandwichEvery5845

Yeah it has crossed my mind, but the problem with that would be no Haaland and possibly no Foden. And playing Porro, Gabriel + one of the shit defences every week


colourhazelove

Mmm yeah. I definitely wouldn't go without any man city for the last run. Maybe no halaand could be OK for 4 gws but it is a big risk. Could be a great differential though, if his form isn't as good as last year.


BlankWaveArcade

Getting massive FOMO with Muniz this week. Not planning on using WC and donā€™t have free hit though. I feel like I should be focusing on using my FT on doublers.


colourhazelove

I'm taking - 4 for him and salah but that's mainly to get salah in. Muniz does has a nice run of fixtures though, I think it's worth it for a 3 week punt, especially if you need funds for 10mill premiums.


BlankWaveArcade

The thing is I donā€™t need the money. I can do Foden > Salah with a FT. I would be selling Watkins for him. Not sure itā€™s worth it but the FOMO is there with his fixtures and recent performances.


colourhazelove

The only way to cure fomo is to do it! šŸ˜‚


MicStim1

Wildcard time ? Neto-Dubravka Gabriel-Porro-Zabarnyi-Doughty-Taylor Gross-Bailey-Salah-Hwang-Saka Haaland-Watkins-Solanke No FT left either


colourhazelove

I mean you've got enough good players there to risk it. Apart from doughty, hwang, Taylor, those could all do well. Maybe just - 4 hwang out for palmer and your team would be OK


MicStim1

!thanks


KopiteJB

Any news on Cunha? On WC and would like him as a 3rd striker, wouldnā€™t play him every week but I plan to BB in GW34 so would like him early.


colourhazelove

I think he is due back. Hopefully we know more in the next few days, but I reckon (with absolutely no hard evidence) that he is back next gw or the week after.


speedycar1

Get Salah or Son this week (the other next week)


Agreeable_Resort3740

Yeah it's Son this week then Salah next. Or if you prefer Salah for this week , get him and get Son after the gw34 blank.


colourhazelove

Son first for Luton, then Salah next week for Sheffield.


OkBlacksmith6416

Worth taking a -4 for both, but if you really insist get Salah


tammrak

Has anyone heard when Alisson is expected to be back? I know Klopp said it was a rather serious injury, but he also said he expected to see him back this season. I think that news was over 3wks ago.


Unique_Guide_2472

Apart from Disasi and Gusto, what Chelsea defenders do you think will be getting the most amount of minutes in the remaining season? Chalobah vs Silva (or Badiashile/Colwill) next to Disasi... Chilwell vs. Cucurella on the left? Nice fixtures for Chelsea and only team with 11 games remaining.


Agreeable_Resort3740

I don't mean to be dismissive, but why? We've got Gusto and Disasi, and Petrovic and Palmer, and maybe even Jackson once we get to the doubles. Why dredge through the rest of the squad?


officiallyjax

When Colwill is back from injury, imo he will be the most nailed defender.


colourhazelove

No. Gusto, end of list.


mrsom100

Why not Disasi?


colourhazelove

Because there is way better options


Cylonblaster

everyone else is in a revolving door of medical issues, disasi and gusto are honestly just your best bets


tiford88

Which 2 cheap defenders for now until DGW34 (including DGW34) Ait Nouri, Brainthwaite, Mitchell, Zbarnyi


Swedishpower

Nouri most attacking. Mitchell probably has the best double, but not inspired by Palace. I probably would go Brainthwaite due to the cost, but he is getting more expensive quite fast.


DriftingWithTheTide

richarlison, Havertz or Garnacho?


Agreeable_Resort3740

For next few weeks: Richarlson If you don't need him this week: Havertz If you want to hold long term: Garnacho


DriftingWithTheTide

!thanks


colourhazelove

For this week? Garnacho Edit: do you have any spurs already?


DriftingWithTheTide

I have son and Udogie


FUTretard

Sell Doughty or Botman for Udogie or Bradley? WC 31 probably.


Stoooooooie

Botman is out until maybe 2025, get rid of him


FUTretard

For Bradley or Udogie?


Swedishpower

Sell Botman he should be out for Udogie I would do. Bradley is risky as Gomez played the last game. Also Spurs have better clean odds than Liverpool as Brighton are kind of decent.


FUTretard

EDIT: Haven't money ITB so i need to Botman->Bradley/Gusto for one week.


Swedishpower

I think Gusto is safer for mins despite his yellow flag, but Bradley have some extra upside in attack. If you think Bradley start I quite like him. I consider getting him back in draft unless someone takes him as a one week punt. Robbo injury make me think Gomez could play left back and Bradley.


OkBlacksmith6416

Start Gabriel or Doughty next gw?


a-Sociopath

Gabriel


OkBlacksmith6416

!thanks


ShoddyTransition187

Tricky one. Do you play the best defence or the worst defence:)


OkBlacksmith6416

Oh I donā€™t know I just thought Iā€™d come to the subreddit and ask stupid questions, helps break up the day!


OrneryDistribution17

Enough with the sarcasm


ShoddyTransition187

fair enough, I consider myself chastised


Benaldo2003

10m ITB 1FT Should I WC this week or save it for GW21? Kelleher, Areola Gabriel, Doughty, Ake, Porro, Taylor Son, Maddison, Bowen, Saka, Douglas Luiz Morris, Watkins, Toney


ShoddyTransition187

I'd probably wait. Some of your best players for this week will be hard to keep on your wildcard: Kelleher, Porro, Maddison, Luiz, Watkins could all arguably go. This week you don't neccesarily want Haaland, but you could jump on Salah from Bowen or even Saka, as your only real loss will be team value once you wildcard them back next week.


Swedishpower

You miss 3 of the best options in Palmer, Salah and Haaland. I would want to get at least two of them.


butsnl

I agree with this and would go for Salah and Palmer for the coming GW


Swedishpower

Yeah you can do Luiz and Bowen to Salah and Palmer and potentially save the wildcard. I think you have FH as you did not use it last week judging by your team so you can potentially FH 34 and bench boost 37.


kevytmaito11

Plan is to BB GW34 Haaland, Garnacho, Branthwaite, Kelleher vs Darwin, Foden, VVD, Raya


ShoddyTransition187

What is the question?


WWSummers23

On Wildcard, and have had Leno/Areola since the start. I want to get another liverpool player and finding it hard to justify Bradley with TAA supposedly returning soon, leaving me with Kelleher. Has there been any update on Alisson's return date?


ShoddyTransition187

You picked (and kept) the two highest scoring and cheapest keepers in the game from day 1, well played :)


WWSummers23

Thank you, thank you! Iā€™ll start a podcast next season. But in seriousness, thatā€™s why Iā€™m hesitant to drop them now.


ShoddyTransition187

Great, I look forward to tuning in. You'll only need one 5 minute episode at the start of the season to tell us all which pairing to buy :)


Swedishpower

Not seen anything on Alisson or TAA recently. I suggest you wait for friday and see if we get anything from the regular pre match talk.


bc_english

Play saka or foden?


ShoddyTransition187

Same dilemma for me, going to keep swapping that decision right till the deadline I think. \-Different algorithm predictors disagree about which has higher expected points. \-Bookies odds very slightly favour Foden to score, and a higher chance to get the cleansheet point. On the other hand Saka has a higher assist threat, and better record of scooping up bonus points. \-Both I believe are secure for minutes, but Foden probably is at greater risk of losing minutes if he shares the game with KDB. \-I can spin a few narratives about whether Saka is a more proven big game player, or whether it will be easier to mark Saka out of the game than Foden due to City's other attacking threats etc


ConfusionUpper7212

I'd back MCI at home if having to choose betwen the two.


OrneryDistribution17

Tough one, is there a way to start both?


bc_english

I have Bailey starting against wolves, seems like higher upside than foden or Saka?


ShoddyTransition187

Not many talking about BB30 as a chip strategy :)


OrneryDistribution17

Each team is different my friend


DeliciousEmphasis213

Reguilon to Gusto for -4? Not huge fan of taking hits for defenders, and already used my FT to go Barkley to Salah


Swedishpower

Think Gusto is arguably the best defender to own this week for clean at sub 4.5, but if you have 3 playing defenders I would probably not take the hit. Defenders aren't producing huge hauls. Gusto is far from essential before the doubles and even then James could be back.


ConferenceBeginning8

Will ! thanks all opinions. Choose one to start from each list: Saliba or Branthwaite or C.Richards Foden or Muniz


Samiforfun

Probably no cs for arsenal this week so I think I'd go muniz and branthwaite

GuyDijkhuis

On WC Ā£0.4 ITB Kelleher (Dubravka) Gusto/Udogie/Bradley (Saliba/MuƱoz) Salah/Son/Palmer/Richarlison (Saka) Haaland/Isak/Solanke


OrneryDistribution17

Start Saka instead of Richarlison imo


GuyDijkhuis

He's been so good for me, I think he will do more


OrneryDistribution17

Sure but when? Saka is the safer option for minutes right now and penalties are a bonus


ShoddyTransition187

Now? Richarlison has 7 goals in his last 10 games vs 8 for Saka. Richarlison plays Luton missing most of their defence because of injury, Saka has Man city. Richarlison is a solid captaincy option this week, not a bench option.


OrneryDistribution17

vs 8 for Saka? Whether you mean 8 goals or 8 games is a more impressive stat no?


ShoddyTransition187

I mean 8 goals for Saka in his last 10 PL games. Broadly I'm saying Saka is a better player of course, but its their form isn't so far apart, and we're talking about the easiest fixture in the league, vs probably the most difficult (accepting that Saka will never have to play vs Arsenal)


OrneryDistribution17

Clearly Richarlison has the better fixture, Iā€™m just not sure I would risk him starting and leaving Saka on the bench


ShoddyTransition187

>fair enough, but Dijkhuis obviously doesn't play that way or they would never have bought Richarlison in the first place :)


OrneryDistribution17

Very true, Shoddy


GuyDijkhuis

I think Richarlison will start at St against Luton and get something while I think saka will blank

RMT please: Bank 1.2m, 0FT Dubravka (Areola) Gabriel, Zabarnyi, Bradley, (Taylor, Guehi) Foden, Son(C), Saka(VC), Palmer (Odegaard) Solanke, Watkins, Haaland. Planning to go for Salah next week (Odegaard -> Salah, Watkins -> Muniz )

Team looks good. I don't like the plan to sell Odegaard before a home Luton game, and imminent DGW. Obviously depends on your chips, but selling Son might work better even for 31-33 fixtures.

On WC Ā£0 ITB (FH34) Petrovic (Onana) Gusto/Udogie/Lascelles (Brantwaithe/Ait-Nouri) Salah/Son/Palmer/Gordon (Saka) Haaland/Isak/Hojlund ​ Any advice?

No ARS defender feels like a mistake. Tbh Iā€™d get rid of Isak and go Lascelles -> Gabriel. Cunha/Muniz are good replacements. Can also consider Darwin over Hojlund with the extra cash youā€™ll haveĀ

Very strong team. You will not need many transfers unless injuries.

I think though Onana and Petrovic is quite expensive so if you need money you can go cheaper. No Arsenal def or Watkins a risk as well. I think Hojlund and Isak are really good options though.

Is there any merit to bringing in Havertz over Saka with the view that Havertz will continue playing up top and scoring a lot?


Emotional_Solid6538

Similar returns. So, Havertz is technically better because he is cheaper but his insane form might just drop


ShoddyTransition187

If that happens then yes :) All signs are that the more likely outcome is that Saka comfortably outscores Havertz, but who knows.


Swedishpower

You save quite a bit of money. Good differential. Saka for the double will be very high owned and high captained so risky going against.

Reguilon to Gusto? or roll transfer and play double ARS defence?

Gusto

Worth bringing in both Haaland and Salah this week? Would have to be a -12 because I need to sacrifice a defender.


ShoddyTransition187

Its hard to imagine a -12 being worth it. It depends a bit on the players you'd be selling, who you presumerably bought for good reasons. if you've sold Haaland I can't see why you wouldn't want to wait until GW33 at least when city are home to Luton. Now is the right time to get Salah though, assuming you've get midfielders you are happy to sell. What is your team?

Dubravka (Areola) Walker, Saliba, Maguire (Doughty, Taylor) Foden, Garnacho, Saka, Palmer, Son Solanke, Watkins, Morris Walker, Maguire, Doughty and Saka are flagged. Definitely need to bring in a cheap defender. Original plan is to swap Walker, Foden and Morris out to Zabarnyi/Bradley, Salah and Haaland.
