Poor, as did most of the side.
Wouldn't go near him

He looked ok. Could have scored instead of assisted Arsenals 2nd.

Didn’t look very convincing tbh.

Wasn't too impressed - lost the ball quite a bit. Stayed composed to find Laca but it was hardly put on a plate, imagine the xA for that would've been quite low. Obviously other goal was offside so quite fortunate.

One thing I noticed was Auba staying left + Laca drifting wide right at times, so not sure if Emery has given license to either him or Ozil to break forward into the CF position when they do so... but even if he has, they didn't do it much!

Thanks all

His average position was the furthest forward out of any Arsenal player. Being relatively nailed and in a CAM position unoike last year certainly makes him a great cheap way into the Arsenal attack. I personally already had him, but I would expect more frequent blanks than returns.

Never. There's always a cheap option or 2 than score just as well or better than more expensive template options

Never. The game is actually won on points not TV.

101.6 here missed all the bangwagons and haven't jumped off Mendy!

Much of that's just due to earlier wildcards

I'm 102.9 after last night's moves. This is despite a 0.2 fall on Bavies (since sold) and 0.1 on Kamara. It's largely just due to making early transfers, not afraid of a few hits early to help build TV as think it helps with a strong end to the season. Had a mixed start though and would certainly have more points if I'd been less transfer happy. Lots of ways to play the game though 🙂

I have TV of 103.2 and wc still intact. 9 transfers so far so a few hits. I wouldnt worry much about TV but got to get the hitters in

I don't even know what mine is. Having a good OR is all I focus on really.

We have bigger worries than TV. :).

I've a team value of 103.7, but i have took a few hits along the way (-24) i think it's worth it and here is the reasons why.

1,Come the end of the season i always have a very good bench boost for the double game week.

2, Solid team early on.

Simply not worrying about TV. Happy with £102.0 and wildcard still in hand.

Never. I find that if I'm concerned about TV, then I feel like I can't sell players that have increased in value even when I think another player might get more points.

I have 103.0, but this include the Mendy double drop (I am still holding him). Rank 30k.

I guess early season I focus on value trades when undecided between equally good players eg. last week I ditched Mkhi and could have got Richarlison or Fraser. But I chose the latter because I knew it would give me a double riser.

I am also usually not afraid of early transfers (happy to take the odd hit here or there)

How long are you planning on keeping the one you keep?

Wait on Pedro news

WC?

Nice. Not sure I'd want Kane buggering up my team though.

Savage

I have only 3 the same in my starting 11. 🙁

Who are you losing to get Salah/Mane back (assuming you plan to)?

TAA? Who is he?

You got lucky with Fab

Jiminez for me. Southampton are a very poor team and have Long, Austin and Gabbi to challenge Ings spot if his form takes a dive.

I prefer Jiminez.
Wolves look by far the better side and even though both teams have only scored 6 goals, Wolves has faced tougher opponents and look like they will improve their goal ratio.
He also passes the eye test and have been slightly unlucky not to have gotten more returns.

Jimbo plays for an attacking team.

I like that Ings has taken a pen, but Jiminez on balance (I have Ings)

Yeah, the problem is they're both great value. Ings absolutely trashes Jiminez stats-wise, both are nailed-if-fit but Jiminez has better fixtures atm. I'm not sure it's worth a transfer between the two but on a WC it's a tough choice.

play both

fraser

Coin toss, but would play Fraser for the higher ceiling. Wilson probs the safer choice.

Bench maddison

Personal choice. Don't think you need another def (play Alonso, awb, taa/mee), but obviously a benched Mendy can be improved upon.

I doubt he plays against Oxford Utd. If I owned him, I wouldnt sell him this weekend. Maybe next week as he can't play 3 games in a week

Don't have him but would keep

If I owned I would keep for this week, but look to shift long term.

The plan was always to ship him out in week 9 or 10. Sticking to that I reckon.

got rid and vowed not to get any more city mids in...tooo much rotation and uncertainty, might as well have rich, madd, fraser etc

Looks good

C) Walker

Hasn't one guy started every game and the other has zero minutes?

Laporte far more nailed

B

Money no object haha, and can’t afford walker?

All Cool Kids played their WC already

Mine is gone but fixtures change nicely after gw8

The plan was always before GW9, but my team's in decent shape and, if I keep my Liverpool assets over the next two weeks, I probably won't need to. Trying to resist the temptation to do super-bold moves knowing I can sort it out again soon if I need to.

I've never had mine this late in before, looking at playing mine in 3-4 weeks when the fixtures change a bit

Probably over Xmas. Planned for after gw8, but I can use free transfers for most of my desired plans

I’m looking to use after GW10 once Palace and Bournemouth fixtures turn ugly as I have 5 from those sides. Plans change though!

20

Nope.

no

Decent team. I would ride out the injuries.

Thanks all

Depends who you have already. Richa/Fraser/Maddison all good replacements.

Play the game, mate.

Here, send me your password and i'll just play for you

Can you do it without a hit and keep Ings for Jiminez? Also, if this is for long-term, are you sure you want to lose value on Mane?

I hate having 8 'expensive' players in front as it's self asking for bench headache for me.

Play robbo.

Bench Bennett

having 2ft can be very useful to bring in a big hitter

Not sure Arsenal are good captains this week (coming from someone who captained Lacazette last gameweek). Hope that helps.

Kun C, bet tempted to get Kane in (below).

What do you mean about a captaincy option? You only need one.

It's what the fixture ticker is for

Ings

Ings

Ings

I'd like to get Sane in. Guess you really want Kane, so depends how confident you are in him.

can you not find that extra money for Jimenez?

Arsenal struggled to score against Everton and Watford are better defencively, not sure i'd get Laca for a hit. If Trippier doesnt play midweek i'd get Trippier.

Believe that's correct.

Well, least number of transfers get ranked higher. Not necessarily hits taken.

No. They're ranked by least number of transfer made

Thanks

Yes 😉 I got a red arrow this GW due to hits taken 😉

Ooo

Mendy Robbo Alonso
Salah Bernardo? Richarlison Fraser
Aguero Laca?

Fab
Mendy Robertson Alonso
Salah BSilva Richarlison Fraser
Aguero Lacazette King

Hamer AN Holebas Doherty

Like lacazette. Not sure about the other two

Would be wary of shifting Dilva ahead of Brighton. Can you just do pedro to richa?

Play madisson over ings

Maddison

Maddison. Not much in it so would choose the player at home.

i d take out pedro

If you’re playing both then I’d shift Pedro.

I brought in Trippier, lots of good fixtures.

no link so found your team in comments. pretty solid!

if you wanted to keep Mendy just play WanBis this week

Love to get Laporte but something tells me he is going to get benched soon, tempted by Monreal

I went Doherty to free up cash to bring in Richarlison. Out of those I don't know as rotation is becoming an issue.
