Stekelenburg is pointless

decent, would prefer Dilva and Fraser over Laca and Moura

Laca's bit of a risk with Mkhi on the sidelines

Really good. I’d have Pedro and Moura down as long term rotation risks but perhaps fine for now

Not too dissimilar to my own WC team, thinking might get Kaku instead of Laca but will require at least 3 £4M players in my team and Holebas instead of Mendy/Robbo

Still not back in training, so shift him imo

Stick

Stick for now and see what the news is on him by the end of the week.

I would ship

Might depend on bench for upcoming GW

Go for it

I'd do it

Cardiff at home for a Hazard oozing class at the minute...

= classic Hazard troll 3 pointer 🙂

I've made the same move. Wasn't going to captain Salah this week.

I did it

Take the example below. How did this get through editorial? Speaking as someone who submitted community articles on here, this would have been fired back at me. A handful of sentences chucked at you suggests a lack of effort and doesn't really help anyone:

Question:

How much team value can you potentially earn playing your Wildcard during the international break and is it worth using if your squad doesn’t need a major fix?

Answer:

“The international break tends to be a steadier time for price rises and falls than many expect. So I’d expect perhaps just one or two players rising twice, to give the all important £0.1 million gained value.

“However, if you cannot afford the price swings to ditch underperforming assets for the in-form players, the Wildcard can still be valuable.

“Beware the fixture swings and chasing early season points though.

“Liverpool in particular have a tricky upcoming spell.”

Would much rather see this as a video or pod with relatively short, sharp answers. A bit like Always Cheating lightning round.

A lot more questions could be covered.

Having a conversation with myself 😆

Hazard and Silva

Currently have Haz and Laca, but may change closer to GW start

Wilson, Mitro are good options

Ings is a good option, especially if you can make good use of the extra money saved somewhere else

Haven’t heard anything, but He’s just not delivering enough point, I shipped him

He felt something in his groin so he was taken off in 45 minute

Bilva > Maddison?

I shipped for Moura

Man city twitter pages says it was just cautionary and should be fit to play. Pep said another player will replace sane's spot outside the squad, so I got rid of him before the news. He wants foden to have game time too

He said he was alright and recovering, but he’ll be out for a while.

almost straight away afterwards he was awake and telling family he was fine... he just got knocked out... happened to me before on the pitch... looks bad but he should be 100%

"Thank you for all the love and support I am doing fine and am in the best hands. I’m a fighter so I will be back soon!". Doesn't sound to me like he'll be playing next week.

“Im a fighter and I’ll be back soon”

Out for GW5 at least

Reported that he was on his smartphone in a matter of minutes. But then youngsters today do that even if they are asleep or unconscious...

Will have to follow head injury concussion protocol ... hard to define but doubt he will start next game

I like it but I wonder if Mitrovic could come somewhere near matching Vardy and use the money saved elsewhere.

With Hamer injured you may well be playing Wolves goalkeeper every week for a while

I like B more

If you want Rich, wait a week, otherwise B

frazer

Fraser

Not a fan of either at the moment, but gun to the head - Fraser

Maddison, Mkhi probably won’t play next week and madders is the real deal

Maddison

On WC myself. I think dropping Robertson will come back to haunt you-he's so attacking.
Those Watford fixtures do look tricky so I think I'm going to wait and see on them.

Some of the 4.0m defenders have decent fixtures over the next two game weeks, so can afford to bench the likes of Robbo, Shaw if you are worried about their fixtures or injuries.

Why not

do

why?

Haz may rise again this week but probably won't be till thurs/fri so monitor for now. Keep an eye on a possible Salah drop also

Nah don’t worry about him, not worth a wildcard, just get rid of Mkhi

WC for four transfers seems a bit of a waste but the team would be better with Alonso in it I suppose

Wait for Shaw news

Play Cook

B imo

*
A) Aubameyang + Fraser + Bennett

B) Lacazette + Richarlison + Cedric

I think Auba's going to get a shed load sooner or later,so A

B

B for me

B, without any hesitation

Thanks all

Wouldn’t be keen on losing Salah. You know he’ll punish you!

Mane and Hazard for sure IMO

Keep Salah. He still top of goal threat.

Answer the question, who do you think will score more points, Salah/Bilva or Mane/Haz? I think the latter by a long shot!!

Building for future with maybe one punty pick like Son

I'm not wildcarding this early because it is a huge mistake but I would say get the core template and take risks around the edges.

He starts!

My team try to use mini wild card, 3 players out with -4 to maximize impact.

The fewer hits you take, the better you do.

First time playing was last season and took hits. This year, I will try to play the season without taking one, if possible.

No chance of that when I like a drink or 10 of a Saturday night

I did last year! Finished just outside 25k!

Only took 3 or 4 hits last season and didn't do well at all. Changing it up this year and already taken two -4's. I think hits can be valuable early on to not miss price rises.

I imagine you would need to be incredibly lucky to have to not take a single hit for the year. Would need to get hit with very few injuries/suspensions/rotations.

Kept money from Salah to Haz to bring Salah back in.

Similar to mine.. Have you gone Salah > Hazard?

I know in boxing, it's often 'safer' to get KO'd straight than take sustained shots for 12 rounds. Lots of rugby players having to retire early due to concussions - like you said, it's the repetitive contacts as opposed to one big hit.

Kevin Doyle had to retire as he was getting repetitive headaches and concussions. Granted he was 34 and winding down anyway, but heading was always a big part of his game.

Are there not concussion protocols in soccer like in rugby. Even a suspected concussion in rugby is a mandetory 18 days away from the game

Neither keep as is for now.

yep... ridiculous... save ft

Auba plays out wide, Laca plays centrally, so you could argue it is a sideways pass.

Kaku?

His Mum likes him

Irritating face

Decent pick, but some more obvious competitors around and below his price tag.

At his price he would have to get a decent return before people start sitting up and looking at him I feel

Still up, but the wife is starting to go mouldy

I think there are better phone ringtones around

The radio works!

One of the best films of all time!

Salah has not made his impact yet so for 1 week only I am shipping out Salah to bring in Hazard who play Cardiff next. It is too tempting to leave. so I will keep the money to bring Salah back in the following GW's

I think there's more pressing issues with your team than to be doing some hockey pokey to get Hazard in. Cairney and Fernan not good enough to be starting 11 imo, and there's a lack of Alonso which could be a problem.

Cairney --> Fraser is a sensible move on paper, nothing immediately jumping out at me that would use both FT to improve that midfield, other than dropping Salah (probably for a hit), but that's obvs risky. Think your plan is sound. Have you WC / When do you plan to WC?

How will you know if Emery's going to play the same starting 11?
