        Salah is the safest option

          i think he is very good but i would like him to score more than one again

              If you want to go different, then Watkins.

                  in his all round play right now watkins is playing better imo

                    I'm going Salah. There's less risk of him blanking (not that I think Watkins will blank vs Luton). The Scout poll shows he's the most popular here and even not playing well last week he still bagged two goals and max bonus points.

            Do you think he is more likely to score than everyone else?

              i do he is the best player and very good this week

            2. VGD

                Yes. He's only blanked one week so far and seems to score regardless of how well he's playing (like Haaland last season)

              Salah receives 5 points for a goal while Haaland and Pumpinks get 20% less for their efforts.

              Plus, he can score an extra point for a clean sheet, but more importantly he seems to be nailes on pens.

              However, I think.that Luton's defence is far worse than Nottingham's. And Villa just scored 17 goals in 4 home gamez against much better teams. So I might still pick Pumpkins over Salah. Also depends on the minutes and form tonight.

                  Do what you want. Let's hope both do well. Unless there are injuries to either, stick with the one you think will do better.

                  yeah. Lutons defence isnt as good as Palace, but Palace where 1-0 in injury time. in that 3-1

                  Took VAR 7 minutes to try and convince the daft Ref England to change his mind, Very fortunate shall we say.

                  But their home form is impressive, i wouldn't use Everton, West Ham or Brighton's defence as good defences, but Everton has improved a lot. Luton will be very low block.

                  Will be i teresting and i cannot get him into my side really unless i change to a 3-5-2 to 4-3-3 or sell Haaland, which I may do GW12. I just know what will happen if I mak that move 🙂

              My plan was Rashford & Mbeumo -> Salah & Anderson (-4), with Anderson now out, what would you do?

              A) Rashford -> Salah (FT)
              Mbeumo -> Nakamba (-4)

              B) Rashford -> Salah (FT)
              Trippier -> Aguerd (-4)

              C) Rashford -> Salah
              Haaland -> Alvarez (-4)

              With C, I'd likely do Neto -> Son in GW11

                      Or A if you don't want to go no Haaland

                  I can’t decide (on WC). A or B?

                  A. Trippier, Bowen, Mitoma
                  B. Gabriel, Son, Gordon

                          Just because I would want Son in your team

                      1FT.
                      A. Mbeumo to Mitoma
                      B. Haaland to Watkins
                      C. Son to Saka
                      D. Maddison to Bowen
                      E. Maddison to Martinelli

                          This gameweek A seems the right option.
                          Or B if you want to go no Haaland (which I did last week)

                              Like your midfield and attack. Might be worth getting an Arsenal defender

                                @VGD you never know if Sheffield could score

                                    Could do it in a couple of weeks then. Just want to give extra options to play in defence

                                        Gabriel also has attacking threat btw

                                      Prefer no Haaland to be honest. Like him but it's about maximising funds and chances for points

                                        On a WC and I am going without Haaland, this team still leaves 2.5 itb so there is a route to get him back with two FT.
                                        Looking at the next GW to 15 you could argue that only GW 11 you would captain Haarland.
                                        With that in mind the team you can produce without him could easily score more.
                                        It either works or it doesn’t, worth a try though

                                        im very much thiinking of no haaland - overall the team looks stronger

                                          Who is your captain pick for GW 10?

                                              Salah

                                              Salah

                                              Salah for the first time this season so expect a blank.

                                              Probably get sent off

                                                Don't cap him if you think he's gonna get sent off mate

                                                1. You've got red on you.

                                                  He'll get 6 goals if I don't captain him.

                                              i think salah

                                              Salah, so he’ll probably get a hat trick.

                                              Been on Alvarez all week, although Pep's comments on him are worrying me a little bit

                                                  What he say? Alvarez not starting against Young Boys I'd have thought he'd be a cert to start against United, unless he's injured.

                                                    He said "Julian could not play 90 minutes" and (in typical Pep fashion) didn't elaborate further

                                                        He was tired after the weekend

                                                1 FT and 0.8 itb - do I

                                                A) transfer out Maddison for Saka
                                                B) transfer out Maddison and Archer for Soucek (probably sub) and Watkins (-4 but I’d love to have Watkins for next few fixtures - I have Diaby already)
                                                C) keep Maddison and roll over transfer

                                                  A

                                                    B definitely

                                                        You could do Diaby to Mitoma next week perhaps.
                                                        C if you don't want the hit

                                                          The fact I’ve had three responses all with different answers tells me I’m not missing the obvious answer!

                                                          I do want Watkins for these fixtures. Maddison is great, but feels like he can play great and not score many points. And if Saka was on pens I don’t think I’d think twice about this…

                                                        Saka is playing a weaker defence but could get a rest.

                                                        Villa is in red hot form, at home, and Watkins currently (with Luiz are hogging the points), but Brighton, and West Ham play a higher line? Can see Lutons Low block work like it did against Spurs, if they hold out the first 20 mins and that is a big IF

                                                        looks like i will have no bench players available this week 🙂

                                                        Glad my likely only change this week is for another defender then

                                                        He was on the chopping block anyway after the early sub last week and his fixtures about to turn. Better options available in the coming weeks. May just take a hit and get it over with this week.

                                                        Haaland if you don't own Salah

                                                        Would this make sense, Johnstone + Maddison -> Areola + Saka? Excact funds for this at the moment.

                                                                                  Spent all week harassing all of you regards my 2 FTs. Ive finally made a decision and will stick to it

                                                                                  Mbeumo and Botman to Diaby and Gabriel

                                                                                  Other options were included Mitoma, Tsimikas, Gordon, Palmer, Trippier and even a hit to swap Maddison for Watkins. Finally ended up on Diaby due to the fact that Every villa game I've watched diaby has looked threatening and playing oop... but his stats were poo. So I did some digging

                                                                                  GW8 was diaby playing through an injury and he had his worst performance. So I've removed that game from my checklist. Chelsea away and Liverpool away were tough games and he still popped up in good positions but his overall stats for GW8, Chelsea and Liverpool are poor and have basically given a poor outlook overall
                                                                                  In the remaining 6 games he has clocked up nearly 2.8 XGi. This puts him squarely in the same league as mitoma ie just under 0.5 XGi a game. Considering the next 5 matches + injury behind him and villa and Watkins in form I can see him posting 0.5+ XGI per game. So hopefully I get atleast 3 goal involvments in 5 weeks which along with a CS or 2 and BPs would be a good base return. That coupled with villa fans feedback has cemented it for me.

                                                                                  Side Note that Ive been watching highlights of villa and I'd forgotten how beautiful his offside goal takedown and shot was

Most weeks even if Haaland scores, Alvarez is involved or he will score/assist too. Personally i think team B looks much stronger

Think I'm gonna go with my gut on this and just stomach the games where haaland returns...it's bound to happen, but the team feels so much more complete without him

He also generally appears to be less effective when playing with Nketiah (should Jesus be ruled out)
