Not really, defense is shaky...

I think he looks promising, really good fixtures and seemingly on some set pieces, however I don't see them keeping that many clean sheets.

He loves going forward and might play wingback for a team that always try to score goals. Is on some set pieces and costs 4,5.

But the will not keep many clean sheets. Thats the biggest problem with Rico!

Yes. Definitely worth considering as a 4th (or 3rd defender). I am torn between him and Doherty. Bournemouth have conceded the joint fewest big chances (with Liverpool) and Wolves have conceded the joint 2nd fewest with Man City. Doherty posts the bigger goalscoring threat and possibly better CS chance, but Rico has much better assisting potential as well as set piece advantage. If you have Fraser, I would go for Doherty, otherwise go for Rico imo.

Cedric at 4.4

If you have 3 premium defenders - No.
If you only have 2, then I think he is a good shout.

Salah, Mane, Pedro, Dilva an option?

Prob the best WC team I have seen.

I would be tempted to do Ryan over McCarthy, and Bennett over Shaw and pocket the 1m or upgrade Ward to one of the 5.0’s who are playing and look decent prospects.

But honestly still just grasping at straws. Your team is perfect.

Really good team. Potential benching headache with defenders / Fraser, but at the same time I think a solid bench might come in handy this year. Not entirely sold on the GK combo, maybe someone other than McCarthy to go with Patricio?
Other than that I think it's more or less perfect

Good team. You'll cry when the Kane hat tricks start firing in.

I had a similar draft wc team, but decided to go with just three quality defenders (kept Shaw, didn't;t get Robbo/Gomez/TAA).

Looks good. My only thoughts would be not sure if I'd go double Bournmouth attack personally. I'm also not convinced selling the current highest scoring mid/forward player in the game is sensible. But Hazard is tempting and can't fit them all in so I guess something has to give if you want him.

McCarthy > Hennesey......rotate well..
Shaw > Bennett

Nice team.Wouldnt ditch Salah.

You are in good shape. Just wait for now

The midfield is to weak!

No Spurs, and Liverpool's fixtures not the best for the next 5-6 weeks,

Salah + Mane looks too much with current fixtures and other midfield options.

I would keep zaha and bilva
Either fit or injured bilva should go

Going to have to play Miki and hope - or sell him

YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS !

Different etiquette. Tennis players have been venting at officials for years. Serena would have said nothing if she had won. She's just sore she lost to the better player.

Seems like she got unlucky with the coaching point deduction and then it all went downhill from there. Feel sorry for Osaka, massive moment in her career that will get overshadowed.

Osaka the one who deserves the headlines after a brilliant performance.

Not really fair that they are about someone who let their emotions get the better of them.

I think you're right. Some sports by their nature need a degree of honour eg golf, tennis, cricket. She's testing those boundaries but not in a good way

Serena could have retired gracefully to develop a new career, spend more time with her family, and to be remembered as a truly great champion. However, these days it seems that graceful is not an admirable trait, so instead we get a disgraceful bullying selfish petulant descent from greatness to childishness. Pity.

I'm a tennis person (player), and I cannot stand S.Williams.
Bitch. But she probably regards that as a compliment.

Equality crusade?

Going to ignore the rest of this post.

I don’t understand what you mean by crusade? You think that women asking that men don’t act differently to them, haress them, objectify them, belittle them, penalise them, becaus they are women, is a crusade?

Men lecturing women on what is and what isn’t sexism is like choosing a panel of mass murderers to be on the jury of a murder trial.

I like Williams. She is a sore loser and all winners are sore losers. I have seen Murray, Federer, Djokovic and Nadal all throw their toys out of the pram so I don't care about it.

Fergie was the same at Utd. Some arrogance and being a sore loser is part of being a winner IMO.

As I have said before, I have never met anyone in life who has said that they want to be a loser.

Agreed although the ump needed to apply a little more common sense given the occasion by using warnings.

Nice dilemma to have. Hazard, if it was my choice (just), but both Fulham and Cardiff have leaky defences

Kun for me, was an easy choice even though I have Hazard & Salah too.
Still not sure I’m ready to trust Hazard yet although I’m sure it will bite me on the arse!

Salah

Kun.....had a nice break for the last week and can see a Hattie...

Is Bilva injured?

What injury?

Wait and see

I reckon he will at least make a cameo by GW6. If Lucas or Alli don’t perform in GW5 or their CL match, Son has a good chance of starting GW6. People are maybe waiting til after he starts, but the risk is not that great; it’s not as if he was injured. He will still be match-fit

Can't drop Moura after his streak. Alli not been good for a while now, but he seems to be Poch's favourite.

Spurs would be better with Eriksen in #10 behind Kane, with Son/Lamela and Moura out wide, imho.

Reply was on Serena comment...

U OK hun?

Those are good moves but I think Shaw should be ok. Most he'll miss is one game

Great transfer choices, but I wouldn’t make the changes yet. Maybe wait to see how Shaw recovers or if we’re told how serious the concussion is

Ya I like them moves chilwell looking good and has great fixtures

I would be tempted by those moves, particularly like the Doherty pick. Would also consider Holebas who is slightly cheaper but Chilwell could be a massive differential and as you say, has quality fixtures.

Shaw should be OK, especially if you have 3 defenders this next GW with decent fixtures as back-up.

who was he playing

They played Niger. Context

Yep. I saw the highlights and saw nothing but Salah on the ball... terrible penalties tho

Woah damn

If you were going to get Shaw, get another United defender. Young likely to slot in

See my post above. I like Leicester and you could afford Maguire!

Holebas may be, I do not see any better up to 5,5 millions in price.

Stick with Shaw. He'll be back in no time and then you'll want him back. He's had a great start to the season.

Nobody mentioning perrerara (soz for spelling lol) from Leicester ,5.1 I think and in easier games he's played as pretty much a winger , great attacking potential and fixtures at price for me make him better value than slabhead

I think king but close

King

I think that's as close as you're going to get, especially if you want premium defenders. I have Kane, Kun, Mane, Mendy, Alonso etc.

Other options I considered were going without Kane and getting Eriksen/Alli. Or getting Trippier (he's almost a midfielder the way he plays anyway)

Kane to Lukaku, Bennett to Trippier/Shaw? Can you afford that?

Locals.

Ya miki to moura or Pedro or leave it this week and could bring richalarison in maddisson could be also a good option , don't like the West Ham double up

Don't like West Ham, full stop (nothing personal, just in FPL terms)

Like it very well balanced with a strong bench just wondering do you feel light on captain options or are you happy to captain the likes of mane and hazard

V.good team, I like it. Do Neves/Ings rotate well on fixtures?Anything left itb?

I could just leave Shaw since my defence is fairly ok.

Then BSilva + Firmino --> Hazard + Wilson seems to be the obvious choice.

Fraser, price form and fixtures

Maddison imo.

Pedro if you dont have Hazard who you should have.

Ramsey 😉

Moura- good enough form not to be replaced, but perhaps vulnerable after 1 or 2 poor performances
Fraser- great underlying stats and excellent fixtures, cheap
Schurrle- good attacking team, no bonus yet as has been overshadowed by Mitro etc but loves a shot. May not be 100% nailed long term with Vietto, AK47 and Sessegnon also vying for a wing slot
Maddison- great fixtures, seems to be Leicester’s talisman and could be great with Vardy back
Pedro- decent and underpriced but a rotation risk like you say, I wouldn’t be comfortable with him
Pereyra- don’t think he’ll continue, very low xG and not the nicest of fixtures
Ramsey- genuinely interesting, think he’s nailed because if he doesn’t play in the 3 behind striker, he’ll play deep. Lovely fixtures too, but not the safest of bets

I’d probably go for Fraser and save myself some money whilst doing so

Maddison

Miki and Salah to hazard and mane is possible ?
