Maybe. Tough to say. If he does, it'll surely not be until the end of next week though l would have thought.

Hes not even in the top 5 scoring keepers and if city keep conceding the odd goal v weak teams there are option that can save you .5 or 1m who will score similar points

Hope so but happy to start Ryan Bennett if not.

Word on the forums is he’s fine.

Hold fire until I see evidence of the old Kane returning. At the moment he's half the player he was pre injury.

Tricky to get him in so he'd need to be really at his best to warrant serious team surgery

I've had him from the start, for the exact reason mentioned by Netley, easy to move him to on if needed, but major surgery required to bring him in.
Will be a season keeper, barring injury.

Hold fire he always starts slow (despite breaking his august hoodo)

I doubt I’ll own him all season but you never know. His form hasn’t been great for some time.

Hold fire he still looks off the boil.

He looks poor and Spurs don't look dominant either. The one and only option from that team is Moura, because of the price. Ok, maybe Trippier. But Kane for 12.5m - no way, not until he starts looking like a powerful forward.

good team 4 point hit at worst

Nothing drastic needed there, no. Although I wouldn't sit on over 2.0 million in the bank... You need to utilize that to maximize your points potential.

An upgrade to Kamara/Hughes/Cairney I think will allow you to have a stronger 11 each week.

The start was templatastic. That seldom happens. For most was initial luck rather than skill, so don't build on that by taking punts for the sake of it - let others make errors. At peace is fine, although options like Hazard in or Mkhi out aren't radical ideas.

If you weren't worried about missing out on a Hazard haul I doubt you'd even be considering much of the international break. I'd continue to tweak and not knee jerk. Give Mane and Salah another game, each could outscore Hazard and you don't want to drop the wrong one.
You've got a good enough defence to play 5 in GW5, I'd try and let the FT roll.

To be honest I'd be tempted to just do something like Mane to Hazard and leave it there. Possibly then also Kamara to Ings or Wilson // Cairney to Maddison/Fraser if you can afford it... haven't done the maths there, but means another playing attacker with good fixtures.

Nothing wrong with a proactive wildcard, trying to reshape the team + fix issues, but your defence + GK are fine. Most WC-ers will be after Aguero + Mitrovic anyway who you've already got, so think it could be advantageous for you to keep the wildcard for the next fixture swing, and just rest on the fact you've managed to get close to the WC template without needing to employ it.

Your back 5 - I'd go so far as to say it is pretty much perfect (patricio is decent keeper)- I assume you are playing 4-4-2 most weeks.

Midfield - I'd be looking at hughes/cairney upgrades - primarily focusing on either Maddison/Predo (if you can afford them) or Fraser).

Up front - again I really like Aguero and Mitrovic - Kamara is fine as bench fodder - great front 3

Upgrade your 4th midfield, otherwise it's bang on. I have a similar side, but want to get shaw in as my 4th defender and want Mitrovic in for Arnoutovic,.

I'm on
Pickford/Button
Mendy/Roberston/Alonso/AWB/Peltier
Salah/Mane/Pedro/Myki/Fraser
Aguero/Arnoutovic/Kamara

and I'm looking over the next 2-3 weeks to go - Pickford/Peltier/Myki/Arnoutovic to Patricio/Shaw/Maddison/Mitrovic

I have a similar history to you - Ranked 32k and 82k last 2 seasons, but had a good start this year and sitting at 21k currently.

The only problem I see is your midfield. Mkhi is now a worry and the Hughes/Cairney combo isn’t ideal. If you want my advice to get a good rank I’d say make your transfer on Fridays after pressers unless you won’t be able to afford it. Also don’t take hits unless you can’t field 11 without using your bench. Watch as much football as you can, especially pre season, so you don’t start with Sanchez again 😀 Good luck.

Keep calm and carry on. Monitor the Arsenal midfield situation but there's definitely no need for major surgery.

You are well ahead of those who wild carded to get your team.

if you drop Salah you can get them both for a hit. Not sure it's worth a WC

Must feel weird to WC from that position, but I sort of see why you feel the urge. B. SIlva, Pedro, Zaha and Monreal have probably served you good, but there seems to be better options in the weeks to come.

I wouldn't use £6.2m of my budget on a player I'm never going to play.
So Haz/WanBiz

JV

Want Laca but risk
Hardy good option but boring

Risky going without Salah but a strong team.

Naice

Yeah has to be Baines who had penalties too haha

only 4 games
wait more

Was FPL going when Ian Harte was in his prime?

Always enjoyed owning Ivanovic in his prime

Whoever has been the highest scoring defender in a season. Thats the answer!

He’s doing ok so far. Excellent in his last game. I’m looking that way at some point.

Can't be too 'injured' if he's able to play 6 a side

looks like last week

It is Zaha playing you can tell by the style. When this is, is another question.

Might not be recent?

I'm waiting until the big fixture swings.

Depends on your team. Injuries, or rotation to contend with?

Team ?

Any1 ?

Shaw or PVA. Good fixtures and attacking potential.

There's probably someone obvious I've forgotten but they sprung to mind.

Laporte

Burnley have a good run for the next four.

shaw

Periera

Shaw

Chilwell

Thanks all !

Shaw has favorable 8 out of 10 next fixtures. wat, WOL, whu, NEW, EVE, bou, CRY, sou. There should be 4 clean sheets there and maybe an assist or two. That would be an average of 5.0 points if that happens, and so far Shaw has an average of 5.25.

Good team and Fwds , maybe shift 1 of Mkhi/Walcott and you are GTG

Just to midfield looking a bit shaky, but no need to WC, just wait on Walcott news.

Its only Mkhi and Walcott to worry about of that lot so I wouldnt to be honest

i would

WC

wildcard - if only to get the template defence sorted.

Dilva but Both good options..

Exactly my question from earlier everyone said Silva

Dilva IMHO

Stats are good

Over the course of the season it’s DSilva and it’s not even close. Just look at his FPL history. Sure he may miss an extra game or 2 but think he will outscore Pogba...assuming he’s still at United all season 🙂

Mitrovic as Pedro will probably be rotated again soon.

Would lean towards Mitrovic as the long-term option on a WC.

Would expect Pedro to outscore him this week specifically though.

Mitro nailed

Not until they both start vs Newcastle and don't get near the pitch in the Europa League.

Auba more likely to be nailed admittedly, but needs more form to justify 10.9

In my fpl team, yes. With my wife, still yes, she hates football

thanks

I would start Jota.

get rid of Mkhi

Van dijk out for a scoring defender
Tripper seems nailed ?

I couldn't make sense of the conversation. The inquisitor appeared to take his brother by surprise!

Wait for Woy update

in your situation I might want to get in Pedro for a 1 week punt as dont think Mkhi will start. Maybe Auba out the week after for Lukaku?

I would switch mkhi to Ramsey but you never know who is nailed

Auba - Mitrovic for -4 is crazy. Auba faces Newcastle while Mitro plays City away.

Stop

Wilson or Ings

Wilson's stats and fixtures bode very well in my view, although I haven't really checked out Deeney

thanks. I have Ings.
Deenys next 3 are tricky Man Utd, Fulham and Arse but he still could do will.

As hits go, I think option 2 looks pretty good.

Atm I'd say Pereya and Ings.

reply fail to afc49

Get Alonso

if you have an easy way to get alonso without wrecking your team, it's probably a good idea

Not sure if I need both, that is.

I've got both too. I'm not even considering dropping Salah unless we get to GW10 and he's not performing.

I'm going to try and hold Salah all season (barring injury)
