Technical Area – Budget Midfield Options

Yes, great team

Mkhi > Sterling is a nice move.

Think I prefer Sané though

downgrade chicha and upgrade defence

Please Evaluate My Team in Game Week 8

Line Up
Faianski
Davies , Jones, Ward, Dowson
Salah, Mukhterian, Grob
Jesus, Lukaku, Kane

Bench
Elliot, Lowe, lee Chung, Obiange

I prefer Silva over Sterling for his assured starts

Chicha, yuck

Hazard could play false 9.
Prefer a nailed on Vardy over Batshuayi

Vardy is nailed to start and might be on pens still

Vardy

Bats is in good form in CL and international. Worth a punt while Morata is out.

Assured game time and favourable fixtures make Vardy look enticing.

They seem ok although I wouldn’t sell Salah. So hard to plan that many transfers as every week something seems to change

Yeah it could work

I would get Sterling over Silva

The problem is with your midfield. It's too light. Transfering out Lukaku and Salah are sideway moves IMO. So, maybe if you can bring in a decent budget MF as a playing mid, it'd bode well.

Nothing in the bank

Looks good

Nice team

Looking good Giggsy 😉

Tough probably Elliot

DDG

A

B

Looks good fab nailed for a while

Only if Jesus doesn't play another 90 minutes midweek. He might get rested or subbed early by Pep

No

Game on Tuesday

There is another International Break in 4 weeks time which are often the best time to play WC.

If you don't really need it then you can always hold onto it until xmas and just use it when you really need it.

When/if Haz, Ozil, Sanchez start perfoming and you want them. Or during the hectic Dec schedule.

Next international break

Should 've wildcarded

Use the WC when you firmly believe that your team will be greatly improved by changes that are time sensitive and that cost -8 or more otherwise.
There is no pointing holding a wildcard just to have it in reserve, nor is there any sense in using it just because it is there.
If you are happy with your team then dont feel pressure to use it, even using it over Christmas could give you a nice edge at a time where squads can look a little stretched.

Whenever your team needs it

Think he is fine.

He'll be loved again after his brace v Pool

Still fame? Yes!

The race for the Golden Boot is likely between Kane and Lukaku IMO. So, there will be weeks he's gonna blank and others might hit a brace, but over the course of the season, he'll be right up there.

Firm to Vardy

Vardy looks a great move right now.

Thanks all !

Krep Firmino mate. Much better pick than Vardy

Going with,

Ederson Elliott
Azpi Monreal Trippier Jones Ward
Coutinho Sterling Choupo Dacoure Carroll
Kane Jesus Vardy

Doucores points are unsustainable. Go with Ritchie

There’s a great piece in the members area which answers this very question.

Look at their fixtures - I wouldn't touch either for the next 2 weeks personally.

check out the article if you're a member. R looks good in terms of expected goals.

Fab for sure
Luiz will still be crap lol

It will weaken Chelsea. I have Alonso but worried about CS prospects now. So to answer your question it will benefit Fab.

I think it will weaken Chelsea's defence.

In terms of playing time then Danny Drinkwater can easily slot in there once fit.

Might affect United more but only defensively (corners and setpieces).

I feel with Luiz and later Drinkwater, if Kante is out long term-ish, Chelsea can cope defensively. Fab will play the easier games alongside Bakayoko with the former in harder games

it does affect them defensively but they are playing cpa, WAT, bou in the next 3 fixtures so still hopeful on to cleanies.

I think Chelsea attack is affected more by morata, still expect goals though it's just hard to see any nailed mids, hazard only probably.

Man Utd it won't affect though they have herrera to come in, think lukaku injury over reported, Belgium already qualified and Jose wouldn't have wanted him olaying

C maybe with Kante injured

Good although midfield kind of week

I think you could still go 1 defender lighter... Kyle Naughton & Cedric will be right up there at top of the next 4-week scoring charts - maybe downgrade Luiz to Naughton (+1.2m) although difficult to know where to spend it as all your players could do well.

I'm going pope, even if I'm doubled on Burnley they have a great defensive record and I will only double up on a good fixture. if I wasn't going pope then it's Ryan next and then fabianski

Fabiański

Otamendi in place of sterling/Silva Imo

Yeah 3x attackers looks overkill, in the unlikely event of City hitting bad form for 2 or 3 games you are fooked. Stones or Danilo instead of silva & pocket 3m for elsewhere

I don't think so. I'm going with the same, mainly due to price point and lack of other options due to injuries. Should be worth it at least for the next 2, may make a nice profit in that time as well.

I'm most probably going the same way. Highest scorers with tasty fixtures. Should reap points in the next 3-4 weeks at least.

A, but maybe change Silva to Sterling and used the extra cash elsewhere.

A

B looks more fun, so probably A.

Drink lots of water

Never drink coffee. Only ever had two cups, taste so bitter.

Infact even with tea only have cup a day in the morning.

Working in City centre its scary how people are just addicted to coffee. People just drink it as a ritual or to fit in, not the best way especially as the big coffee chain drinks are seriously unhealthy.

Have green tea

Drink caffeine free herbal teas and lots of water. Tony Robbins states you should be drinking half your body weight in water each day.

Man up as well and show some strength. I went a whole month recently without alcohol and chocolate. 😉

Have a Decaf

Top up with Guinness or NZ Sav

Beer, Football & Coffee are simple pleasures that I will not go without! Football and beer being one of my favourite combos in life. Of the three, coffee would easily be the first to go! Those lattes that I've become fond of in recent years can't be healthy!

Matic Mania.

Dier not Matic on bench

I like the vibe. Matic is a bit meh, but you can’t have them all. A great forward line, excellent defence and some good midfield players as well.

Unneeded sweat...

Contains caffeine which prevents oxygen going into the brain and causes irregular sleep. Avoid it.

all (or most) things in moderation are fine. Including fantasy football...

I'm on WC too and I did have Azpi in one draft. My issue with him is his price when there so may other ds at 4.5-5.5 racking the points in.

My D is: Fonte, Ward, Bavies, Cedric and Otamendi giving me 5 great cs options each week.

I'm not a fan of having non-playinfg ds in the team either so no Mbemba for me.

Silva has no goal threat so I just don't see his points continuing. I would like to see Richarlison instead of Chopper M.

Good front 3.

6/10

Not a fan of Ayew/cheap 3 rd forward.

See my D above for better options.

Fabs could be Pope who is really another Heaton from the evidence we have seen so far - 5.3ppg.

Play your wildmonkey and boot:

Krul, Jones, Honeymonster, Silva, Hazard, Doucore and Lukaku.

Decent seeing as you have expensive heavy hitters

Both tbh. Jesus if you need one.

Jayzus

Jesus

Jesus

Now. Morata could be out for some time. You never know.

Why need to rush?wait no one is changing in price no pressure

Hmm yeah not sure what to do 😛

Avoid Silva as he has no goal threat. Get Richarlison and Vardy.

No - Rich is terrific value and will score against anyone.
