      I have 13/15 atm. Not much to say. GW 35 I actually think it may be worth saving. That way you could do 2 FT in 36 to get Salah (TC).

        Cardiff,Hudds & Newcastle looks good for CS, & i don't like salah/mane atm. So trying to maximize the pool with Bobby (in form) + Robbo-Taa pair.
        They can haul easily with a CS & assist potential.
        Don't you think so ??
        Also, would you keep vardy this gw or Directly get Bobby in & Save FT in 35 ??

        Re Kun & Raz i don't think both will start. But, cameo is enough for both to haul against depleted Palace Defense.

          I think I slightly favour Vardy for the next 2 over Firmino.

      Salah is doing more than Mane in many underlyring stats, but Mane's xG is better, suggests Mane is more effective recently.

      Like Amey, I'm doing Firmino instead, bring the better of Salah/Mane at GW36.

      But I'm very sure Pep wants a reaction out of City, they always thrash opponents after a crap CL fixtures. Anyway to get B with Doherty? I might prefer that.

      fit both Auba and Laca in my team.
      I want to point out that Arsenal generally play better in the end of the season. Emery has to play his best side till the end of the season. Also, I can see a potential haul, because many of the opposing team will not close down and park the bus but rather play football. There are no alternatives in premium strikers rights now apart from Firmino. Aguero has had less minutes in the last 10 matches than Auba.
      For me its the fixtures. 1-2 games can change it all in terms of points. Just imagine Arsenal trashing 4-0 Crystal Palace and then score 3 to Leicester, which is very possible, you just never know with Arsenal, but its possible. And both strikers will get huge points then many people still wont get two of them because of the rotation. I think what puts people off is that you dont know who to captain. So for me its just set and forget.

    I have not read the posts yet because I know what the discussion will be.
    All WC's out of the window. All teams in the last week could have massive change due to the cash Kane costs.
    Not thinking of the WC, it means Salah becomes affordable for 36 3 38.
    I am guessing but above I would say:
    Any changes will involve Auba and Laca, keeping Vardy, making space for Kun, getting Erik and Son in the same side.
    Kun was about to go down in price. If he did, watch the reverse in the next few days.
    Everyone TC Kane who had no FH or WC. What to do now?
    I feel for Kane but in FPL terms it has opened the game up.

    As Kane is out, I am thinking of these sets of attack:

    A) Auba Laca Jimenez
    B) Lukaku Laca Jimenez

    Which one to go?

    A) is the ultimate set and forget, as you will never miss out on Unai's rotation. Arsenal has the most favourable fixtures, and they end the season usually well. I think both will haul few times.

    B) is the safest diversified option, but is Lukaku a proven option right now? He only scored in two gameweeks out of last 1 million haha

    Hey guys, how many of you use WC and choose all 15 DGW players? or had some single gw players like TAA, MANE and rest?

    currently on 15 DGW players, but start to play around with Liverpool assets. Advice please 😀

      I have Mane and plan for 3 Pool in 36. This could mean me getting Robbo before I stop fiddling with my WC.

      TAA and Mane atm but could end up with only TAA for now and get Mane or Salah back for 36 (TC)

      I'm completely blinded by the DGW. I'm just going to avoid Liverpool assets till afterwards and hope the maths pays off.

    My TV is crap... how does this WC team look? No City attack is the only obvious thing - but the rotation is gonna be peak

    Lloris / Foster
    Robbo / TAA / Dunk / Duffy / Valery
    Eriksen / Mane / Son / Hazard / Jota
    Vardy / Deeney / Jimenez

    1.0 in the bank to swap dunk out next gwk

          Why would you keep Hazard?
          Mane?
          Get as many possible DGW's and line yourself up to get Livp assets back in 36
