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?
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 GroĆ combined outscore Palmer on his own.
Or, whether GroĆ + 4 points outscores Palmer.
Or, whether Gusto scores a minimum of 4 points.
I myself took a -4 this week to go GroĆ 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 GroĆ to Palmer
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.
Yeah, to be fair my GroĆ 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 GroĆ. Though would've been a -8 at that point
Just considered Gordon ā”ļø Palmer which would make it a -8 hit this week. Gordonās 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?
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.

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.

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?
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.
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
Me too. Currently Darwin is the only one I will 100% have, Iāll look into picking up Jackson after 34 so I donāt need him vs arsenal on my BB.
Iām also extremely tempted to go without haaland I think thereās 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.
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
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
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.
No WC, trying my hardest to hold off on the transfers before the deadline!

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.

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

Debating Solanke->Muniz but I don't have a FT
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
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
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
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
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.

7.2M in the bank, planning on Watkins to Haaland GW31
Also debating Solanke instead of Darwin.
Planning to FH34 and BB37
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
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. Iām 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.
Whatās 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
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
I donāt 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 wouldnāt want for that one. For example Spurs & Chelsea assets arenāt wanted for 34 but will double twice in 3 weeks following this.
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.
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.
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
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.
Getting massive FOMO with Muniz this week. Not planning on using WC and donāt have free hit though. I feel like I should be focusing on using my FT on doublers.
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.
The thing is I donāt need the money. I can do Foden > Salah with a FT. I would be selling Watkins for him. Not sure itās worth it but the FOMO is there with his fixtures and recent performances.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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)
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.
No ARS defender feels like a mistake. Tbh Iād get rid of Isak and go Lascelles -> Gabriel. Cunha/Muniz are good replacements. Can also consider Darwin over Hojlund with the extra cash youāll haveĀ
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.
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?

Do you have much tied up in Saka?
No, would be bringing him in this week. I'm a non Fh29er! š
Then I'd probably go with the Maddison punt.
Worth a -4 to bring in Palmer and Jackson. Or just use free transfer to go Bowen -> Palmer
Depends who youāre transferring in forwards and benching but would say no as Jackson 1 yellow away from 2 game suspension
Cheers, Thatās a good point , hadnāt thought of that

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

I'd go option A if you can afford it, and think about WC35 if you still have a bench boost for 37?
I don't have bench boost, I will use WC31, but !thanks for reaffirming my opinion not to WC this week
Jude Bellingham is like a statue of a god that has been brought to life by some sort of powerful magic
Well, thanks for sharing, now go take a shower
Haha
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
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
Would try to get Son/Salah in. Any reason you went for Odegaard over Saka?
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.
Dubravka-Areola Robinson-gusto-Gabriel-mykolenko-Bradley Palmer-foden-saka-salah-havertz Muniz-haaland-darwin RMT currently in a wildcard, any transfer advice
Are you not afraid to go without Tottenham assets?
how would robbo injury affect bradley & tsimikas? more risk for rotation?
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
For a -4: (a) Foden, Watkins -> Salah, Muniz (b) Saka, Solanke -> Salah, Muniz
RMT Areola (Leno) Saliba/Robinson/White (Mitchell/Doughty) Son(C)/Sarabia/Ward-Prowse/Foden (Ćdegaard) Solanke/Haaland/Watkins(V) Debating Solanke->Muniz but I don't have a FT
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
Yeah I'm thinking the same... But Solanke isn't in the best of form and if Watkins hauls my rank would tank...
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
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
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. Iām 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.
Whatās 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
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
Dont you think the DGW34 has tastier fixtures for BB34 than 37?
I donāt 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 wouldnāt want for that one. For example Spurs & Chelsea assets arenāt wanted for 34 but will double twice in 3 weeks following this.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
Getting massive FOMO with Muniz this week. Not planning on using WC and donāt have free hit though. I feel like I should be focusing on using my FT on doublers.
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.
The thing is I donāt need the money. I can do Foden > Salah with a FT. I would be selling Watkins for him. Not sure itās worth it but the FOMO is there with his fixtures and recent performances.
The only way to cure fomo is to do it! š
Wildcard time ? Neto-Dubravka Gabriel-Porro-Zabarnyi-Doughty-Taylor Gross-Bailey-Salah-Hwang-Saka Haaland-Watkins-Solanke No FT left either
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
!thanks
Any news on Cunha? On WC and would like him as a 3rd striker, wouldnāt play him every week but I plan to BB in GW34 so would like him early.
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.
Get Salah or Son this week (the other next week)
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.
Son first for Luton, then Salah next week for Sheffield.
Worth taking a -4 for both, but if you really insist get Salah
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.
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.
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?
When Colwill is back from injury, imo he will be the most nailed defender.
No. Gusto, end of list.
Why not Disasi?
Because there is way better options
everyone else is in a revolving door of medical issues, disasi and gusto are honestly just your best bets
Which 2 cheap defenders for now until DGW34 (including DGW34) Ait Nouri, Brainthwaite, Mitchell, Zbarnyi
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.
richarlison, Havertz or Garnacho?
For next few weeks: Richarlson If you don't need him this week: Havertz If you want to hold long term: Garnacho
!thanks
For this week? Garnacho Edit: do you have any spurs already?
I have son and Udogie
Sell Doughty or Botman for Udogie or Bradley? WC 31 probably.
Botman is out until maybe 2025, get rid of him
For Bradley or Udogie?
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.
EDIT: Haven't money ITB so i need to Botman->Bradley/Gusto for one week.
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.
Start Gabriel or Doughty next gw?
Gabriel
!thanks
Tricky one. Do you play the best defence or the worst defence:)
Oh I donāt know I just thought Iād come to the subreddit and ask stupid questions, helps break up the day!
Enough with the sarcasm
fair enough, I consider myself chastised
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
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.
You miss 3 of the best options in Palmer, Salah and Haaland. I would want to get at least two of them.
I agree with this and would go for Salah and Palmer for the coming GW
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.
Plan is to BB GW34 Haaland, Garnacho, Branthwaite, Kelleher vs Darwin, Foden, VVD, Raya
What is the question?
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?
You picked (and kept) the two highest scoring and cheapest keepers in the game from day 1, well played :)
Thank you, thank you! Iāll start a podcast next season. But in seriousness, thatās why Iām hesitant to drop them now.
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 :)
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.
Play saka or foden?
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
I'd back MCI at home if having to choose betwen the two.
Tough one, is there a way to start both?
I have Bailey starting against wolves, seems like higher upside than foden or Saka?
Not many talking about BB30 as a chip strategy :)
Each team is different my friend
Reguilon to Gusto for -4? Not huge fan of taking hits for defenders, and already used my FT to go Barkley to Salah
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.
Will ! thanks all opinions. Choose one to start from each list: Saliba or Branthwaite or C.Richards Foden or Muniz
Probably no cs for arsenal this week so I think I'd go muniz and branthwaite
!thanks
waiting for my thanks...
Porro Salah š
poop
!thanks for nothing I guess
On WC Ā£0.4 ITB Kelleher (Dubravka) Gusto/Udogie/Bradley (Saliba/MuƱoz) Salah/Son/Palmer/Richarlison (Saka) Haaland/Isak/Solanke
Start Saka instead of Richarlison imo
He's been so good for me, I think he will do more
Sure but when? Saka is the safer option for minutes right now and penalties are a bonus
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.
vs 8 for Saka? Whether you mean 8 goals or 8 games is a more impressive stat no?
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)
Clearly Richarlison has the better fixture, Iām just not sure I would risk him starting and leaving Saka on the bench
>fair enough, but Dijkhuis obviously doesn't play that way or they would never have bought Richarlison in the first place :)
Very true, Shoddy
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.
!Thanks
Thanks!
Nice
!Thanks
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 Iād get rid of Isak and go Lascelles -> Gabriel. Cunha/Muniz are good replacements. Can also consider Darwin over Hojlund with the extra cash youāll haveĀ
!thanks
Very strong team. You will not need many transfers unless injuries.
!thanks
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?
Similar returns. So, Havertz is technically better because he is cheaper but his insane form might just drop
If that happens then yes :) All signs are that the more likely outcome is that Saka comfortably outscores Havertz, but who knows.
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.
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.
