Anyone brave enough to captain Lukaku here? Show yourselves

Ville Runke, what transfers are you making this GW? You've only taken one hit all season, surely time for some more?

Guidolin must be in with a shout of the Swansea FC money league and TCing Carroll ftw!

Know how u feel. My rival has hazard and Carroll and a TC. I have firmino and Sturridge and lan- flipping- zini. Gonna hav to take couple hits if I'm to stay ahead. Currently 25 ahead in 500 euro ML.
Worrying times.

Any of those worth another hit !!

Luk/Kane→Defoe
Mahrez/Firm→Haz

Is there gonna be a klopp presser tomorrow or something?
I'm choosing between selling cout. or Firmino, and I want to know if waiting the next 24 hours can be of benefit

Going to sleep on transfers. Stuff the price changes. Need to get this right.

Don't understand the Haz love. Stats are meh

Is 3 West Ham attackers too much? One of them can be benched in GW38

Feel like Pool going through in Europa today was worth +4 to +8 points for those of us with no Liverpool assets. Guessing many will be taking hits to unload them now (can already see it happening in MLs)

Need advice please. Would like to get the Holy West Ham Trinity in for -8:

Alder > Cresswell
Couts > Payet
Mitrosub > Carroll

No can do tho, already have Lanzini and can't get him out and his three teammates in without another hit, don't want -12. So, which of the three Hammers should I not bring in?

Was planning Carroll for TC, Payet backup option if I get Defoe instead (or even risk Mitrosub again! half an hour vs Villa...)

best 8.9 midfielder? currently have payet, firmino, townsend and sanchez.

Hi all is the below worth a -12
Kane, Gabriel, rose. Alli > Defoe, PVA, creswell, Hazard

Was gonna do a -8 to get two more dgwers but now that firmino + Sturridge might only play once or less I'll be taken a -8 to field 6 dgwers instead of 7/8 as planned.

Sakko,firmino, Sturridge OUT
Cresswell, hazard,Carroll (c) IN.

My rival has both haz + Carroll + Adrian. And probably will get payet and TC him.

Don't know what else to do. I'm 25 points ahead.

Funds will allow me one of these..what do we think lads?

A) Toby and Sanchez > Creswell and Hazard
B) Firmino and Kane > Hazard and Carroll (hope Toby plays)

Mane or Tadic for the last 2 GWs?

in a follow up to my previous post is it better to have hazard and kane and ship kun or have willian/fabregas with kun and ship kane?

How many mins do you think Mignolet will get this GW?

What do you reckon lads?

A) Bellerin, Milner, Kane > Smalling, Hazard, Defoe (-8) – Play Sanchez as 4th mid

B) Bellerin, Lanzini, Kane > Rojo , Hazard, Carroll (-8) - Play Milner as 4th mid.

C) Milner, Lanzini, Kane, Sturridge > Hazard, Fabregas/Willian, Defoe, Carroll (-12) – Play Sanchez as 4th mid and Bellerin as 3rd defender.

A seems the safest, but I am just worried that two of my rivals who are not far behind me are bringing in Carroll and will most likely captain him.

How can you see if rival has made a transfer since last gw ended?? In transfer history only last wks are listed and a zero in the transfers made in his homepage. Any other way??

A) Cresswell + Defoe
B) Smalling + Carroll

Thoughts on this -4 team? (Rose/Alli > Smalling/Khazri) Bit different..

…………………Robles
..Smalling – Clyne – Cresswell
Payet – Lanzini – Khazri – Sanchez
……..Kun – Martial – Kane

Darlow – Ozil – Simpson – Gabriel

Coutinho > Hazard (-4)

Would you do it?

Cheers

any reason why willian is some peoples preferred chelsea mid? just gut feeling?

On a 26 point lead. Rival has no chips and a Pelle, Kun, Kane front line atm... I have Deeney, Kun, Kane.

Question is: I was wanting to do Alli/Kane to Hazard/Defoe for a -4. Shoud I?

Concerned because it's a risk -- and if we have similar cover with a similar front line, it's hard for me to get passed. So losing Kane is tough here. What say you, the community?

Maybe I'm getting nostalgic, but its Chelsea with a double gameweek and he's looking a little bit special again.

Evening. Missed all the action and just watched brief highlights.

Am I really supposed to ignore a rampant Sturridge in front of a DGW? Just can't wrap my head around this one...

Alright, so long story short, I don't want Defoe. I don't want my fantasy season dependent upon the one player most likely to sink Newcastle.

So, to make me feel better about my blinkered thinking, somebody sell an alternative like Deeney to me. Did anyone watch their game against Villa?

Worth taking a -8 hit for Coutinho > Noble or Hazard I'm chasing so have to be careful how many hits I take in my ML?

Oooooo, Christian Benteke...
