Question.

How many duds do you own because of GW28?

I have Stanislas and Gray.

I think Mark is right in The Burning Question article. GW28 has blinded us all and we're going to miss out on a lot of points just to field 10/11 duds in a dismally low scoring gameweek.

Whats the point of Stanislas for GW28, cant even get off the bench when they are losing and need a goal. -4pts will be worth it to see the back of him.

Teams suddenly bit of a mess for next week. Thoughts on transfers?

Grant (Valdes)
Alonso Brunt Baines Coleman Daniels
Eriksen Siggy Antonio* Markovic* Clayton
Ibra Kane Kaku

Had planned Eriksen & Kane > Sterling & Kun.

Would have to play 2 of Baines Coleman (tot) and Daniels (utd)

Lallana and Costa -> Siggy and kun (tc) for -4

Thoughts?

Who makes way for Siggy?

Alli or Ericksen?

General consensus is to keep Ericksen as on set pieces and a bit cheaper, does that seem right?

Red arrow inbound

phillips to siggy?

.1 short of Alli to Sterling and Kane to Aguero

Should I

A Sane not Sterling
B De Roon to T Carroll (-4)
C Heaton to Jakupovic (-4) Pickford other keeper- if did this no immediate need for transfers until after FA cup

Current front 3 - Kane Costa Lukaku.

Who makes way for Aguero?

Is Brunt not getting the assist or is it still 'under review'?

Antonio so annoying 🙁

If the roles were reversed for Brom's second goal would Mark have given the assist to McAuley then?

40 with Mane and Kane left... green arrow (OR of 200k)?

So assuming city DGW
and you have Aguero
TC or not TC ?
Will there be a better opportunity than this?

Did Silva mention anything about Markovic after the game?

Randolph
Alonso / Pieters
Sterling / Siggy / Pedro / Philips / Allen
Kun / Ibra / Lukaku

Pickford - Baines / Holebas / Ake

Would you play AoA with this team if Philips confirmed fit ?

Alli > Mane 1FT anyone?

Already own Kane but may ship him for Aguero DGW

Would you sell kane or lukaku for aguero next gw?

Is Bruntgate over yet?

Any desputed goals or assists for us this week?

Do fixtures turn in GW30?

Assume hopes of Brunt assist are lost now?

Thinking of rage transferring out Antonio. A few weeks ago I was deciding whether to bring him or Siggy in and it's been a horrible decision, next time I think of bringing in a West Ham player i'll force myself to buy Lescott instead

Who wins this gw?
Me: Mane Eriksen
Him: Kane Alli

Does anyone know how long T. Carroll has been on 94% in fplstats? Has been there for ages which means he won't ever rise in price.

Chasing my ml leader who is 42 point ahead.

He took -12 this gw, i took -4.
(gained 8 overall)

He has 19 so far, i have 32.
(gained 13 till now)

He has Kane, Eric left.
I have Walker left.

Can i reduce the lead to less than 20?
(wishing a walker cs+goal/assist, and no explosion from kane, eric :p)

Llorente worth a punt anyone as a 3rd striker?

Decent fixtures incoming and thinking of doubling up with Siggy.

The Brunt Assist gate is another case of having too much information than is required. Mark has pointed out that any goal not assigned an assist is automatically put under review by the Match Centre and has been the case for a few seasons. Obviously this process could be done quietly and behind the scenes and as fans ourselves we can review the incident ourselves and if an assist should be given and is added then that's fine.
What I find annoying is the OfficialFPL twitter feed tweeting; "The ASSIST is currently under review – Brunt's corner took several ricochets before falling to McAuley #WBABOU #FPL"

Personally I think its just a case of any publicity is good publicity exercise, like when newspapers/TV etc. create an 'non issue' just to get people talking.

I assume everyone is waiting until after Man City play the cup game to make these transfers????
