Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Stoke City

Downgrade hazard & get firmino maybe

Keep the FT imo.

Don't understand

Albrighton

I'd give it a few games see if Lambert has any impact. Personally I'd say no.

Refused to swap him last week so bought Alonso in alongside him for a hit, and very happy

I just squint and pretend Azpi IS Alonso. No, but seriously, I'm finding it hard to spend an FT on the trade before the transfer window closes.

have both

I’m in the same boat as you and I’m planning to make that transfer this week. Alonso essentially plays almost like a winger and striker at times. While I have never seen Azpi attacking.

That being said I won’t be be surprised if he scores or assists after I take him out.

had a massive debate about this...... everyone says during a blank GW but i'd have more fun using it in a dgw

Depends how your team and the fixtures line up.

I say blank. Also remember you can't use the FH with a BB or TC in a double GW

My thinking is as follows:

Let's asume that a BLW and a DGW come one right after the other. Let's also assume that there are at least three top teams involved.

The free hit can only cover one of the two weeks. But it also lets you prepare for one without worrying about the other.

Personally, I'd rather stack up and then deal with quality extra players that I got for the DGW than the other way round. That would mean using the Free Hit on the BGW and then never seeing those players again.

Depends on the FA Cup. I used mine last week and got a positive 30 points from it. However GW31 when your team could be decimated because of the cup it might be a good time to use it unless you plan ahead.

depends who you have vs whos blanking or doubling.

the presumption is the major teams will be in the cup, so will blank then double. you have players from the major teams, so will struggle to fill a team during the BGW, so use the FHC leaving you free to BB or TC during the DGW.

Maguire?

bauer if youre edgy like that

Keane?

Danilo if Delph is out for longer or Shaw, if you are willing to take a risk.
Otherwise I would try to generate funds for someone more expensive.

I am thinking the same move for a hit
Or either of
Pogba or Son to either of Mahrez or Arnie. But might just wait a week and do both for a hit. Time to diff a bit but maybe those are not diff in top 10k

You can't go wrong with the Alonso move.

i think its a good move.

I'm debating Son or Mahrez. Can't decide which to go for... Why are you considering changing?

Can you afford RLC to Mahrez ?

Kenny to Jones.

Good logic

I like them but I don't like the -8

I also have the players you bought and no players that you sold.

Agreed.

Not the worst move but I wouldn't lose Kane.

after spurs tough fixtures it goes blue. in fact if you skip past Arsenal, and put the ticker to 10 games theyre second for attacking fixtures. im not overly keen on having 13m Kane for three tough games but i'll want him back in after and that will require surgery.
so im keeping.

Shell-shocked from missing Kane 2 hat tricks right after I moved him out... so I just can’t recommend losing Kane

If you think Elliot will play and Newcastle can have CS, if they rotate well in fixtures. Go A

If not, go B!

I don´t think he will. Az and Cahill are nailed but between Rudiger and Christensen I think Chris has the advantage. David Luiz doesn´t count for Conte anymore. And he get rested the last game.

If Cahill is injured (pulled hamstring last game) very little chance Christensen will be benched.

Keep plugging away. A long way to go.

Yes, absolutely.

But Pogba can match him for almost 4m less.

4th choice now

A

Ramsey could be a nice differential but not for -4. The obvious choice would be Arnie.

A

If you're as liberal with your hits as I am (50 transfers so far), I'd have no problems going for A (especially as they have good fixtures ahead). If you're not, I don't see any problem with D, I have him as first sub next week (or maybe even in for Jones, haven't decided).

League cup finalists (likely Man City v ARS/CHE winner) won't play their fixture, so maximum of 4 teams could miss out. Man City v Arsenal is almost certainly off and probably Chelsea v ManU if CHE beat ARS.

Think Lallana could come in for him... a risk.

Depends on rotation. Doucoure, Wilshire or a cheapie would be a better option IMO.

risky. he never has been in the past

Ok i guess double WH with Arnaut and Lanzini is better...

Bauer looked okay going forward. Not sure I'd play any of them though until I've seen if Lambert has any impact after a few games.

I would say Glen Johnson/Bauer - Shawcross - Zouma - Pieters/Martins Ind is the best defence they can build. Shawcross is out for now, Glen Johnson seems to be close in a return. A cheapie maybe you can punt in Bauer for now.

Yes. Also consider Mahrez and spend the extra cash somewhere else?

No

B with Ibe?

B if Cahill is out, otherwise A

Agree B. I still think Christensen is first choice and Cahill doubt is even better news. Chelsea still have good fixtures

7 green arows streak at that rank! 😮

Looks like every move is working for him

I love how everyone compares their TV and SV and then there is that guy. The value of your team doesn't determine the success of your team.

Atsu/Gudmundsson/Milivojevic. Ibe is popular.

Ibe, milivojevic,Surman

Ibe underlying stats are amazing!

Ok, thank you all! Cheers!

GW 28 blank*

2nd legs next week.

Dont know about getting in, but falling out of it was easy enough. 🙁

Consistency with occasional haul is important 😮

Look at the top 10K average = 71.2 after hits.

Been stuck in top 500 for about 8 weeks. Have to beat the 10k average by about 15-20 pts just to stay still!!
No idea how to play it.
Actually a bit boring.

3) assuming you can't afford Aguero and Mahrez...would choose Firmino and Mahrez.

could have 3 assists for Mata in few minutes...

I brought him in and he did nothing. I have some regret because if Alexis comes in I think he will be a rotation risk.

I think Matic, Pogba and Lukaku are nailed. Alexis will be too and then Lingard will rotate with Martial, Mata and Rashford for 2 spots. It´s too risky I think.

No go Firmino and upgrade your third to Wilson

Ayew 5.1
Firmi-yes better value

Keep Alli for one week
he jas 9 g+a vs Southampton in 4 games
