The men in black have been a prominent talking point leading up to Gameweek 13 after Everton’s Oumar Niasse become the first player to be handed a two-match ban for a ‘Successful Deception of a Match Official’.
As featured in the first iteration of our members’ Men in Black article last week, though, Anthony Taylor – the referee who awarded the Toffees’ spot-kick against Crystal Palace – had previous when it came to awarding penalties.
Kane.
Because Kane.
Kaku. His form slightly assuring than Kane. But I'm on Kane though. No other choice.
I have both and my cap is Sane. Have Kane vice, because he more often scores big, when he does click.
Kane. West Brom have Gary Megson at the helm. Not good.
Have both Kane and Kanu but am captaining Sane.
Think any of them could do well but more upside with midfielders (assists, clean sheets, 5 points for a goal).
Yes I would do same but requires -4 so on Kaku for now as just feel Kane slightly off the pace coping with knee which cannot be 100% with that strapping on it.
Eriksen and sterling to
Sane and D Silva / Pogba?
Free.
Eriksen to Sane for City double up and carry free. I think Sterling very likely to start as less game time than BSilva in CL game
I wouldn't swap Sterling for Sane, I think the price gap is too big now and Sterling could easily outscore him.
I'd only do eriksen to Sane and keep sterling.
I have Lukaku and Kane as captain options and I think fixture/form/set pieces gives a 50/50 result.
So I am coming down to another consideration. i currently am in the top 10K and actually think about captaining Lukaku for the only reason that it is a better « defensive » bet against the rest of the field.
I mean, Lukaku ownership and potentiel haul would hurt less than a less owned Kane haul right ?
Or maybe this us biased by the fact that lukaku ownership percentage comes from a lot or dead teams?
at the start of last gameweek it was Kane 47.8%, Lukaku 45.8% in the top 10k, I imagine in the top 50k (i.e. people who could catch you) or so it's pretty similar..
Depends on whether you want to tread water or make ground. Don't think Kane's ownership is very high at all relatively, in the top 10k.
Apologies. Markloe is correct. I was looking at the wrong GW. if it helps 26% of top 10k capt Kaku, 19.8% capt Kane last GW.
which given the fixtures would suggest there'll be more Kane (c) than Lukaku this week
Pope
Davies Jones Daniels
Salah Alli Sterling Richarlison
Kane (c) Aguero Abraham
Elliot Ward Carroll Mbemba
Would you do Aguero to Morata now, or save the free transfer and do it next week?
Transfers next week will be;
Aguero > Morata
Davies > Alonso
Alli > Hazard
Do now as Aguero not likely to start
Niw
now. no point waiting, especially if it's free this week.

1)Anything worth a hit (I am a bit worried about fielding a ful XI).
2) Who would you captain?
Elliott
Ake - Jones - Moreno
Hazard - Sanchez - Zaha - Richarlson
Aguero - Kane - Wilson
Myhill - RLC - Ferminia - Huhnmeier
save, Kane.
Jones to Otamendi and you will be at least + 2 points?
No cash and bought at 5m. No can do without an 8 point hit.
I'd rid of Jones just to make sure you can field 11.
Charlie Daniels for the next few would be my pick.,
eleven players you will field
Kun probably substitute so 12 i guess.
I have TC and Barry - who should i replace RLC with, for a hit?
What have you done?
😆
Why would you keep TC ahead of RLC?
I wanna get RLC to replace either TC or Barry
Not worth a hit
Kun >
a) Morata
b) Kaku
Morata is the better pick over the coming weeks, however I'm worried about having no Utd cover this week.
I have Hazard.
A, think long term
Yes very true.
I think my rival having Kaku has put me in this predicament.
Morata is the logical pick.
b
Morata cuz anyways ManU cover is served more efficiently thru Pogba and/or a defender..
Mustafi has only started once in the last 5 GW's.
Is he likely to keep his starting place?
He's been injured.
Yea that's what I mean.
Do you think he will play every game with the congested fixture list after just coming back from injury?
If he stays fit, yep. His PPG is off the charts... look how many CS Arsenal kept when he was playing.
Thanks,
Would you do Jones to Mustafi for free?
I got Jones at 5.0
I wouldn't get rid of jones just yet especially if I have a good bench player to fill in this gw. Also I would wanna keep a ManU defender throughout the season..
Bench two:
A) Mee
B) Duffy
C) Moreno
Cheers
ac
Bc
B C
does mourinho has a press conf tomorrow? i want to know about jones any news ?
Usually 2pm UK time
Mourinho already said that Jones won't play at the weekend.
Best Newcastle defender?
Is Lascelles expected back this week?
Is Yedlin nailed on to start every game?
why Newcastle?
can't see good fixtures.
surman or RLC to play?
RLC defo
RLC.
RLC
Close call for me.
Surman is in good form for a 4.5
Surman
I hadn't realize that C.Palace has not scored away this season...
They haven't played Brighton, West Brom, or Swansea yet.
If you were to play the FHC this week. What would your team be?
DDG
Vertonghen Otamendi Kola
Sane Richarl Pogba Gray
Kane (c) Lukaku Wilson
A) Vertonghen & Sane
Or
B) Alonso/Azpili & Pogba?
B with Alonso imo.
G2G ? Moving Eriksen to Hazard next week for Swansea and may then finally get a chance to deal with Mbemba the following week who im ditching for Mariappa if he keeps his place.
Speroni (Elliot)
Kolasinac, Alonso, Mee (Jones, Mbemba)
Eriksen, Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, RLC
Kane (C), Morata (Niasse)
1.2 itb
G2G and good plan in getting hazard in as well
How good is Wilson as player? And is he first choice in Bou when he is fit?
Very good player has been very unfortunate with injuries throughout his career if he could stay fit he would be most peoples 3rd striker choice
Help guys, need a one week punt before I wildcard. Which one should i get
A) Bavies
B) Trippier
C) Smalling
D) Daniels
Cheers 🙂
A or B
A or B. Would check team news first though for which to go for.
B
B for me.
I am on a WC. How do I get Hazard into this team?
Speroni / Elliot
Alonso, Kolasinac, Mee, Lowton, Yedlin
Salah, Sane, Pogba, Gross, RLC
Kane, Morata, Wilson
0.1m ITB
I've reached the conclusion that it's Salah or Hazard.
Me too and I am not sure I like it!
Not on a WC but came to same conclusion.
What about Sane to Hazard somehow?
I could choose between Sane and Hazard too though. Risky given City's fixtures and form but I really like Hazard's new central position
Downgrade Alonso Wilson and do gross to hazard
I don't get this comment, sorry. Alonso to a 4.5 would give me 2.5 in the bank. Then Wilson to Niasse, for example, would give me 3.5 ITB. Gross is 5.8 for me so that gives me 9.3 and Hazard is 10.6m
Would you do sterling-->sane (-4)??? Don't know if sterling will start
Only if you captain Sane
I wouldn't, but then that's me.
Not now there's such a big difference in price. Keep Sterling and spend the 1m elsewhere. Yes, he won't start every game, but there'll be lots of players like that in Dec.
I am!
Nope, would keep Sterling and use the £1m across the rest of the team to make sure you have a decent bench in case he doesnt play.
Thinking of brining in Niasse and holding for his ban - surely a better option that Dom CL. Can this team manage this week?
Fabianski
Ottamendi, Daniels, Ward
Silva, Richarlison, Salah, RLC, Sane
Kane (c), Morata
Elliott; Duffy, Jones*, Niasse*
Bought him last week and was benching anyway
Better to save transfer and do it next gw. No point in getting and benching him..
I'm guessing you're not allowed to say r*pe on here...
Robinho sentenced to 9 years for sexual assault?
Unlucky. Would have been community service if he was still in the UK.
Pending the appeal process...
he'll never serve it tho, not in jurisdiction for starters. scumbag tho
Obviously not friends with Berlusconi
UK doesn't sound like very fulfilling in the eyes of the victims.
It's not. The only time you'll see a harsh sentence is if it involves taking money from the rich.
anyone doubling up on Burnley defenders?
Someone is, yeah.
Typical Arsenal fan 😉
May do after this gameweek.
i have 2 burnley defenders, i'm benching both this gw.. Mee likely to come in anyway
Been on it for weeks now. Worked great other than when I benched them both vs Soton.
Who is a decent Joselu replacement for this week at 5.9 and under?
Otamedi and Niasse
Or
4.6 def maybe Kiko and Wilson
All part of a plan for Hazard and Morata next gw.
niasse is banned no?
yes but probly can be benched until the ban lifts... hes virtually bench fodder at 5.0M
Will he drop on price before he's back? It's only 7 days till he's available.
Yep. He would be benched for 2 gw but have 15 active players to cover.
ok but there's bound to be a fair bit of rotation next 3 GWs anyway. so having a player deffo out is not a good idea for me. but u might get away with it
Yeah good point and Carrol isn't a sure starter anymore.
Ota and Niasse. Even with the ban.
Cheers. Im leaning this way.
Will leave team for gw14 as
Foster/ Elliott
Mee / Otamendi / Duffy / Simpson / Daniels
Hazard / Sane / Salah / Richarlison / Carroll (Will be RLC at some point)
Kane / Morata / Niasse
Speroni (Elliot)
Alonso, Otamendi, Mee (Ward, Duffy)
Salah, Richarlison, Choupu-Moting, Loftus-Cheek (Gross)
Kane, Lukaku, Jesus
Is this -8 too much next week?
Richarlison > Hazard
Choupu-Moting > Sane
Lukaku > Morata
Jesus > Quaner
Yes
Ashley Williams is done
Hope so.
A) Stones -> Mustafi or Smalling (free) or
B) Eriksen + Stones -> Otamendi + Sane (-4).
Any votes?
Like B a lot and think you will probly recoup the hit straight away... id do it for sure
Considering it seriously - I have held Eriksen since GW1 and suffered his 4 straight blanks but seems a difficult game to sell before WBA at home - that's the rub..
Could you hold the transfer for another gw? It does look tempting for sure nonetheless.
Can't hold, Stones going down and I only have two other playing defenders (Kiko Femenia and Ward) since Francis and Jones are also out.
It's either Stones -> Mustafi for free or Stones/Eriksen -> Sane/Otamendi for -4.
Don't get why anybody would want to get rid of Eriksen before WBA at home.
Don't want to in all honesty but don't love the defenders in the 5.5m and below bracket, so making the move to Sane enables the upgrade to Otamendi.
And to be fair, Spurs haven't been great at home against the minnows and Eriksen isn't exactly on form, though the fixture is (obviously) very tasty.
Honestly - If I had Eriksen this week I would keep and captain.
Keep and captain? Winks is taking some corners; Eriksen of course can pop up and score anytime, but surely with Kane/Lukaku as captain options that seems a bit much. What's your logic in it?
Eriksen can score or assist against anybody, he banged in a hatrick vs Northern Ireland only last week, WBA are ideal opposition.
I don't own him but if I did then would definitely keep and captain, would be a great differential if it comes off. Definitely get rid of Stones though for free.
He's the talisman for Denmark - not sure if INTL form translates to the domestic game - he looked average against both Arsenal and Dortmund - two matches that have come after that hat trick... I agree that he is a differential but I am not searching for one this week - I will captain Kane or Lukaku before an out of form Eriksen - so don't agree too much with him as a (c) option at all - the question is does Sane beat Eriksen over the next 5-6 gameweeks by 4 points or not. If yes, it's a great transfer. Man City have almost double the goals as Spurs do this year so logic points to the switch outside of the easy home fixture...
I think Eriksen is the better option this weekend and I wouldn't be taking him out for hit. Maybe stick and do it for free next week ?
The only issue with that is I can't move Stones to Otamendi. He becomes Smalling (will lose place sooner rather than later) or Mustafi (underwhelming transfer but decent value).
I respect that you are so high on Eriksen, I have had him all season GW1-12 so obviously rate him, but I guess asked differently, do you think this pair will score higher or lower in the next 4-5 weeks:
A: Mustafi, Eriksen
B: Otamendi, Sane
If it is B by more than 4 points than I can make the move and go forward..
