Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Stoke City

Not much to be weary of as very few will buy him for the Liverpool game. While the trend you noticed is true this season, sample size is very small.

They struggled to create anything of note for 75 min against Hull. Let's not get carried away here

That is true about sample size, what with being suspended for 6 matches.

& he's through to the next round of the cup!!

Seeing this never fails to astound me. Why do we even bother every week?

GW 7,8,9 three top 3k GW ranks in a row. FML

I'd consider Jay rod instead of Antonio if he continues playing as a striker

Stones to a Boro/Bou defender

Wait for Walcott news. Pickford may be another issue but Cech covers him.

Probably

Llorente guaranteed a start too. No idea what Bradley was doing playing Baston. Almost as crazy as Swansea buying him in the first place. I'd rather have Zaza and that really says something.

No idea, I think Swansea will move for a manager quickly so we should know quite quickly.

Shirley

You should probably see how Kane/Spurs look vs Soton before deciding to remove for a hit.

I'd look at fixing the defence with 1 FT.
Lovren to a utd or southampton defender

WBAs fixtures become incredible after this week. Definitely keep McAuley or get Brunt.

Chelsea, either Alonso or Azpi.

Azpi or Alonso seeing it's pretty much a 6 pointer these days.

Alonso and Azp should be top of every list.

Very cheap for a city midfielder, wish he could finish more chances.

Peps ruined city assests this season. Theres just no one who is worth having from that team

If Wilson was playing 90 I'd have him but otherwise only Stanislas carries decent point potential and he's also not nailed.

I'd just get a defender. Isn't Stanislas still injured?

Waiting on tomo with Eriksen and Kane but my focus is getting Kun for 20

4 very tough fixtures in the next 7, and doesn't really fit anywhere in my team. Not for me

Potential mane replacement for me. Between him and Coutinho

Mane > Coutinho in two weeks for me. Lallana is cracking value though. Having a great season but he relies on players around him and his good positioning too much. Phillipe is the real deal.

I was very tempted but decided to keep siggy & stick to my original plan on having 2 FT next week.
Im being like jonty & reverting to the old me who doesn't go after price rises & hits

A is the sensible option. I wouldn't go without Sanchez though. D but not Cabaye is probably your best shot.

D but not Cabaye

C.
I dont think you should get sanchez for 11.9 unless you downgrade either costa or ibra as it ruins your midfield.

Arsenal have 5 good fixtures so i dont think you should get rid of walcott

Agree, absolutely ridiculous. He could well get a hat trick against palace at home

I think the fpl twitter account & scout article influence some people who might not watch games!
Earlier in the day they tweeted about whether sanchez owners should be worried due to giroud being back & i reckon its spooked people.

Keeper situation looks a little messy. Hopefully Pickford pulls through. I'd also look at KDB to Sanchez and Walcott to Phillips if you can save up the FTs

If Pickford is out then I guess you'll have to do a boring keeper transfer to Heaton or Foster. If he's not then I'd roll it over

Lovren or Pieters > Boro Defender

You're fine otherwise. Defoe and KDB are 'due' IMO and Mane > Coutinho transfers itself. Wally > Phillips might also be an option.

I guess wait for pickford update to see if you'll have a keeper first? The rest is ok but a chelsea defender would be good.

hey TM don't remember but I think you had Sanchez in your team or you ditched him?

get heaton perhaps

KDB?

Hey TM, impressive CV you got. Lots of top 1K finish. Salute! Any tips to share?

KDB out - can you get Sanchez for him with 0.7 ITB?

If not, Walcott to Lallana and then KDB ---> Sanchez.

Mane to Coutinho in 2-3 GW

Cheers all. Team is still in top 30K somehow. It was 7K when I took over 🙁

Boot gks.
Boot Lovren, Evans, Francis.
Boot KDB.

Just get Heaton. Then I'd look to get in Brunt or Aké, as both their teams fixtures turn soon.

dont ditch Firmino 😮
that is crazy now

Your team is quite similar to mine..... except with 4 big hitters instead of 3......because your squad value is higher..... they're nothing alike

Looks gtg. Save ft.

Save looks good.

Yea that's what I'm doing.

a great shout
only thing I am little worried is His major hauls have been away mostly plus big Sam's team knows how to defend so they know how to frustrate

hope they didn't and Sanchez tears them apart like west ham

You can really, last two times he's been a popular C pick (Boro and West Brom) people didn't take into consideration that those teams are well organised and would sit back at the Emirates.

Arsenal always struggle to break teams down like this at the Emirates, Sam will be working on that at Palace and I'm sure he'll try the same.

Sanchez v Pardew's Palace would have been a no brainer, against Sam's Palace it could be another long edgy afternoon.

nah wait on wally news first

U have Barry Allen as sub?

Mine did ok but would be awful now. Morgan Lamela Redmond Vardy Gray Kun Oscar lol Feghouli. Wish I'd kept Heaton

Foster 60
Stones 25 Valencia 48 Friend 37
Hazard 113 Alli 71 Firmino 92 Redmond 63
Aguero(c) 148 Vardy (vc) 60 Gray 37

Without working Vardy vc etc = 754

Somewhere around 787

I had Vardy 🙁

Foster 60
Stones 25 Shaw 28 Morgan 42
Hazard 113 Firmino 92 Alli 71 Redmond 63
Aguero(c) Vardy (vc) 60 Gray 37

Total 739

Almost the same team as TM

Heaton 77
Valencia 48 Friend 37 Mee 44
Tadic 37 Iwobi 43 Sánchez(vc) 161 Alli 71
Vardy 60 Grey 37 Agüero(c) 146

761

Ivory coast look to have him 🙁

I have a feeling he wont go either. Straight into my team if this is the case.

I reckon he will skip Afcon. BFS is pressuring him too

3-5-2 with Fletcher? 😮

Save for this week imo. Swansea have a good fixture.

Wait as long as you can afford to before making a decision. I think B is the best though, of those terrible choices.

If fit, play Walcott?

If he's out for 2 weeks then Walcott > Sterling for me!

Surely play Walcott?

B. But with Phillips

b sounds fun 😀

Do we know pick is out?
Might be best save that ft sort next gw

dont like any of them to be honest, Heaton's fixtures arent great after this week.

Maybe first one

* Sanchez is also in all

2 or 3 look nice. What would be the team after?

4th

1 for me.................. Your TV must be crazy to get Hazard in as well as 4 other big hitters including Kun.

6) Eriksen + Lalana/Sterling

3 then 5

2 looks the safest to me.

5 is what i've gone with 🙂

cheers all very good sensible advices

?

12

-4

Yes

People have, yes

Probably, I'm not one of them though.

Yes, he'll be coming in for me around GW20.

Phillips is a cheaper milf though.

Being a cheap basterd always comes back to bite you eh

Did you see the contact when Ibra scored?

Cash in the bank?

All the cool kids are on Heatster. You need to join us. How is Chrimbo swinging?

A very nice team and I suspect you already know that. I wouldn't change a thing apart bringing in a few more reliable ubers like Aker, Holgate, et al.

upgrade lenihan/Amat if you can maybe
