      Go for a now and then deal with Mendy return when it happens.
      By that time you might be able to do a straight Trippier to Mendy swap.

    Appreciate any advice on whether this makes sense:
    1 FT
    Ryan Button
    Alonso Mendy WB Bennett Holgate
    Salah Hazard Fraser Kante
    Aguero Lukaku Jiminez

    This week selll Mendy for Doherty and next week go Lukaku to Kane? Will leave me enough to swap Holgate out for someone like TAA whenever I can get a chance, or even take the hit for it.

    Or should I play safe/boring and just sell Mendy for Trippier

      Mendy -> Doherty this week makes sense. Think you will be one week late for Kane unless you plan to keep him. I would look at using the cash to get Rob in 2 weeks.

      8 years, 20 days ago

      I am. Can't see Kun getting more than 60 mins with City playing in Germany on Tuesday.
      Think both Everton and City will score at least 2 goals but I expect Richarlison to be more heavily involved than Aguero due to the fact that City could easily score a couple of goals after Aguero is subbed off, damaging his chances of picking up bonus points.
      I know that it's a risky week to stray away from Aguero but I'm willing to take that risk. The game wouldn't be fun if it wasn't for risks. 🙂

        Shaqiri may play and they have trained that without Mané this week. Also it was Mané whose attacking stats suffered when Shaqiri was on the pitch. So if one of Salah, Firmino or Mané is at risk, it is likely Mané who has been playing during this week already. Yes, I certainly believe he will start, but there are also warning signs imho.

    So, I've gone with this team:

    Lossl (Hamer)
    Alonso AWB Bennet (Perreira, Mendy)
    Fraser Richarlison DSilva Hazard (Guendouzi)
    Vardy Lacazette Kun(c)

    Problems:

    Obviously the goalkeeping situation is not ideal but lets hope for some save points, eh

    No Liverpool players, I know! - I switched out Mane and Wilson to bring in Richarlison and Vardy for a -4 hit. It may or may not pay off, but fixtures seem to benefit the incoming players.

    Not sure whether to bench AWB or start him.

      You needed Mitro sooner rather than later anyway.

      Mitro can't be considered a bad transfer by any means. If Fulham score you have a 75% chance of him being involved.

      I don’t. Gained team value. Lose Arnautovic for a few games until fixtures turn then swap him back in for King. Mitrovic, Arnautovic, Aguero is what I’m looking at long term.

        Yer the price point is one that allows a straight swap which I did consider . I'll probably do same mate

    A: Plot: Mane > Rich (gives me window to upgrade Laca to Kane in GW8 and get Salah back in for a -4 in GW9)

    B: Keep it simple: Mane to Rich (forget Kane you d1ckhead and you get Salah back in 9 or 10 for Rich/Fraser/Maddison and move Laca on)

    C: Do nothing.

    I've no value tied up in Mane so this could be a straight 2 GW move and then draft in the favourable Lpool mid when the dust settles.

    My mind is saying B but I keep thinking about A.

    Just thought that it will be a double blow to Mendy sellers if he is declared fit, even if he doesn't start tomorrow. If the red flag is removed today then he'll go back to 0% from -62.3% towards a fall. His price will be locked for 7 days.

    Even if people then sell him ahead of Liverpool, then these transfers out will be lost and he'll have a much higher chance of remaining 6.3m for the foreseeable future.

      Not really, it's only 0.1m lost and potential for nice replacements pts. 0.1m is not gonna cost anyone in OR at the end of the season

        Of course. I'm just obsessed by value.

        The upside is that if he starts tomorrow megahauls his price won't rise as it will be locked.

          Besides, if you buy at 6.3,l and he rises to 6.5m you get your 0.1m you lost back where as the keepers will still only be selling for 6.2m. Either way, it's 0.2m profit on his starting price

    Hello all, after some advice please!

    Team is currently...
    McCarthy
    WanBissaka Alonso Robertson
    Richarlison Hazard Mane DSilva
    Ings Mitrovic Aguero(C)
    Foster - Westwood - Holebas - Mendy

    My question is this...do I go
    Mendy -> Chilwell
    Mane -> Hojberg
    Ings -> Kane for a -8 hit?

    It is a lot but I think Kane will outscore Mané this week and price will only go up! Cheers

    Mane to Alli or Sterling? Based on the fact I've got no Spurs players, and Aguero already.

    Thoughts?

    a) Mendy + Wally >>> Trippier + Rich (for free)
    b) One of those transfers and roll 1FT
    c) those transfers plus Pereyra >>Fraser (-4)

    If keeping Pereyra (ars), play him or AWB (bou)?
