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.
Jones to Otamendi?
E. Do A and C next week if you're still keen on it.
Thoughts on kdb to hazard?
Got
Sane city
Morata chelsea
I feel hazard better pick than kdb or morsts/hazard over kill
Would probably wait until after the weekends games. Liverpool have been solid at home.
Yeah sorry will be after weekend.
Jones to mustafi this week.
So kdb to hazard good move?
Yes.
It is tempting but Sane is such good value at the moment (until Pep strengthens in Jan/Mendy's return) , the 1.5 million could bolster your squad elsewhere in preparation for the fixture barage over Christmas
Yeah sane/morata staying in team.
Just do I keep kdb or move 2 hazard
IMO Hazard
Is demari gray a viable swap for Richarlison?
It will enable me to go from (=> to)
Pope Elliott
Ward Daniels Otamendi Jones (=> Alonso) Duffy
Alli (=> Sane) Salah Silva Richarlison (=> Gray) RLC
Kane Jesus (=> Morata) Abraham
if getting alonso morata and sane then yes probably! shame to lose richarlison but you are massively upgrading the squad
Im erring that way
Jesus and Morata are both 10.5 which makes that easy
the choice is Alonso & Gray or Richarlison and £5.9mill def?
Predictive text middle word.
I am. if he doesn't make sense of humour, I have Kane so any time of the year, and I will be very suprised if he sits out on the weekend, but I think it may be more about Spurs pacing themselves this season but its not good for an FPL manager. not only is it possible to get the best way to get the best way to get the best way to get the best way
I am so confused right now.
On a phone (Well on android, assume similar on iPhone) as you type a word you get 3 options. If you keep pressing the middle option it can write coherent tripe for you.
you mean you haven't always been doing this ? 😉
Someone isn't pacing themselves 😀
Are Kolasinac and/or Monreal worth their price difference over Mustafi?
Depends what you do with the change. They are of course better options.
a bit concerned about ARS defense as almost all of their clean sheets have come at home and they have some amazing fixtures but most on the road over next 3-4 weeks.
BPs will be best for Monreal in clean sheets and Kola will get forward, not sure Mustafi at 5.3m will provide anything besides a clean sheet here or there.
im not sure, but i went kola now just because i think he is fun to watch and Mustafi only a threat on set pieces as Kola also threat in open play. Mustafi key to cs, sokind of a tricky question. Think Kola will get more points than Mustafi but once Mustafi is out again cs will dry up. Plain value speaking it might be Mustafi edging it, but not sure.
Considering Stones-> Mustafi for free personally or Stones/Eriksen to Otamendi/Sane now that Stones is out Otamendi should be nailed for the coming busy fixture period.
Mustafi only scored CS pts, apart from last week. The other two consistently get attacking returns, and or BP''S. You get what you pay for with Gunners defence imo.
Thanks all. Keep the relies coming.
Have a feeling Aguero will start this weekend as manager will not want to keep benching his best player.
Two or three goals for him I reckons but still captaining Kane.
Not the weekend but will probably start next 2.
doubt he will, as an owner. never know tho. but he starts 1 of next 2 surely so keeping. doubting he's a good idea long term tho
? if you really believe kun gets 2 or 3 youd captain him
Not necessarily as have Kane who could score 3 or more potentially.
I certainly think Aguero likely to score more than Morata this weekend as Liverpool are very good defensively at home. The common Aguero to Morata move for this coming game week I think is likely to be a mistake.
Jesus (c) Kun (vc) here. Playing the Pep go round until I have some free transfers to change it
Could be a good move but Aguero still a more explosive and a better player.
glad someone has hope for him starting, can´t se him though and i am an owner. But for me it is like this, (1) very nice if he starts, (2) totally fine with more than twenty because he will score if given some minutes, (3) not subbed in then i will have Chop M i for him- The only scenario which i´m afraid of is that 1minute substitutiion in injury time, but Pep does not seem to do that kind of change unless the score is draw which it won´t be. Several times this season City players have come in and scored or/and assisted (Sané, Sterling, Jesus and Bernardo)
Also could well be false economy removing Aguero if he plays some of next game and then all of the following for example.
Bench two:
A) Mee (ARS)
B) Azpi (liv)
C) Moreno (CHE)
D) Daniels (swa)
E) Dann (STK)
Cheers
A and C
I think Arsenal more likely not to score than Liverpool so currently thinking b and c.
Perhaps, but Azpi has more attacking threat than Mee.
if he hits Moratas head that is-)
This
A and C
BC
AC easy
C and D I guess. A and E have home advantage. Can't really put my mind to bench second most expensive defender.
Ederson(Eliot)
Kiko-Davies-Daniels(Mee,Heunemeir)
Sterling-Salah-Hazard-Richarl(Carrol)
Abraham-Kane-Morata
0.4 itb 1 ft
So what to do abraham is on50%
Sterling rotatio risk, cant afford if both wont play kiko is also on 75%,but he will probably play
Options:
A)Abraham->C.Wilson
B)Carrol->RLC (and play him instead of tammy)
C)save ft
Was all set on playing my WC this week, downgrading Jesus to Niasse, going 3-5-2 and getting in Haz & Sane but with Niasse out and Jesus possibly starting I'm going to hold. Would still really like to have Sane this week but not sure if Sterling > Sane is worth a hit?
Jones -> Alonso a good move here?
Fabianski
Daniels, Ward, Fernendez,
Hazard, Silva, Richarlison, Moting
Kane, Jesus, Vardy
Elliot, Jones*, Carroll Mbemba.
1 ft, 1.8 itb.
I don't think there is a better move than Jones > Alonso.
So it's a yes, then. Thanks 🙂
Its a no from me.
yep
I dont like this move this week as Liverpool very likely to score and would not rely much on Alonso's attacking returns. 2 points most likely score from him this weekend in my opinion.
liverpool scoring just once??
So Defoe was left out of the last Bournemouth team altogether, is sub/ backup to wilson and eddie howe still says he can make the England world cup squad
Eddie Howe was quoted as saying Wilson can make the England World Cup squad too. Perhaps he's hedging his bets!
Any help here guys?
Elliot (Pope)
Jones Moreno Daniels (Ward Hunemeier)
Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison (T.Carroll)
Kane Kun Joselu
1FT, 1.3m ITB. Which move?
(A) Joselu to Wilson
(B) Kun and Jones to Morata and Alonso (-4)
(C) Both for -8
Play Groß (mun) or Simpson (whu)
A
Gross
Gross
Gross
Already on a -4 (-12 for the season) so not planning on anymore moves this week. Next week though:
Eriksen >
A) Hazard (keep Richarlison)
B) Sane (Richarlison > Pogba)
What route is best considering I already have Morata and Sterling?
I need two strikers (long term) for a draft league...
Best two?
A) Carroll
B) Josh King
C) Abraham
D) Benteke
E) Rooney
B and C/D
Same.
B d
A) Play Mee & Abraham
B) One of above & Otamendi - 4
Depends on your sub for Tammy
this
Carroll
Anyone think Jones will start v BHA? Or do we believe Mourinho when he says he is out?
I never believe a work Jose says so will wait for an update tomorrow
well I have been looking at the price change progress and I think we can afford to wait for the presser tomorrow to find out for sure.
but he has already said hes out.
Expecting he might save Jones for the harder fixtures in all this congestion
RP for a new crowd.
Azpi/Alonso still worth the cash with all the cheap options floating about?
Not a member Syd 🙂
It's such a cliche to say he's an extra midfielder, but when you own Alonso, there's the very real sense he may score. I almost take it for granted his CS points (with Kante back).
Was favouring Azpi over him, if I was to get one of them.
The 2 of them combined have only 4 less points than Lukaku & Aguero combined
Probably worth the cash after all.
Absolutely. Azpi BAP magnet and Alonso the highest goal threat of all defensive players. The points they've gotten so far can compare with premium strikers.
Wc team G2G?
Begovic, Elliot
Smalling, Mee, Duffy, Moreno, Mustafi
Gros, Silva, Sane, Pogba, Salah
Kane, Morata, Niasse
absolutely! gret team! Personally dont like Moreno but he could be a good pick at home
Cheers, Smalling, Mustafi and Niasse are the real question marks in my eyes
Niasse is the enabler so wouldntworry bout him... bargain bench strker.
I would strongly recommend Smalling to daniels and begovic to ddg, your guaranteed the utd defensive cover then....up to you though.
Mustafi is a decent shout for a cheap way into arsenals defense, nailed on too.
Don't have the cash for that I'm afraid
any reason not to do Jones to Otamendi right now for free?
Don't think so at this stage
Yes. When you already have great cover to bench Jones.
I dont... would be playing ward v arsenal
Just did the exact thing a few minutes ago. Mourinho (if you believe him) has said he is not playing this weekend and read speculation that he may miss the midweek game next week as well. Getting tired of wondering if or when he will play.
Firmino > Wilson as my free transfer.
yes or no ?
I’m considering it
Not for me.
noo, firmino is a good choice going forward
Tricky. Firmino is starting to look lively again and has Stoke up after Chelsea.
Who is on penalties for Bournemouth?
See set pieces
Wilson if Stanislas doesn't nick it from him.
Hoping for Daniels. But tbh I think it'll be scoreless in Wales.
heres hoping! Daniels Naughton playing
That's locked in already.
Has there been a worse European campaign by an English club than Everton this season?
0-2 by the way
I was considering getting Kenny in. 🙁
No. It said at the start of the prog. 1pt from 12 was the worst start by any English club. That includes Wigan and Birmingham who had slipped into the Championship that season.
Ok, maybe not points wise, but given the expectations of Everton at the start of the season compared to the 2 mentioned it must be the biggest underachievement.
May have misunderstood. Evertons 1pt from a possible 12 is the worst performance by any English club in the Europa cup.
Yep, sorry, misread.
They are lucky just to be 2-0 down
They look so disjointed and clueless
Spurs bombing out of the CL after being drawn in a fairly easy group then getting knocked out of the EL by Gent last season was pretty special.
Not if you forked out for tickets like I did 🙂
In fairness Monaco were good, and we did win 2 games. The home game against the Germans and the Gent games were very poor though.
I wonder if siggy prefers Everton to Swansea?
Given his ban is it not strange that Niasse isn't playing tonight? Is he cup tied or something?
Don't think he was named in the squad at the start of the competition.
You are correct..ive just looked it up. Cheers though.
David Silva or Pogba?
pogba
silva
pogba has tough fixtures in GW15 and 16. Jose may park the bus, attacking returns always likely with MCY
Silva.
Once a player (Pogba's) price is unlocked is there a catch-up effect toward the next price rise? Or does it effectively start again from 0 and start going up normally?
This season who knows. Usually though thats the case.
Which is the case? Catch up or regular growth from 0?
Start from 0. But with the amount of people getting him in he will move fast but probably not before the deadline but before tomorrow night.
*A catch-up effect given that many have transferred him in during the price lock*
Sterling to Haz this week or next?
If next week, would need to make it just before this weekends games due to price changes.
next week and gamble that Hazard doesnt get injured... hate doing that but its a good strategy as Hazards fixtures turn great after Liverpool.
Although with Sterling likely reduced Minutes and Hazards ability to score v big teams I think id do it now
Comedy bouncing camera pictures from Atalanta stand!
Good to go?
DeGea

Yes though I'm going moreno over Burnley defender (lowton) ... But not sure on it either
Solid
On a WC would you go with Sterling & Sane?
Probably not sterling
sane
I've had both for a few weeks now and has worked well.
However be prepared to have a decent bench as am sure there will be occasions when 1 of them won't play.
