First post, it's a definite sign

Better yet, captain Raz and go without KDB

For what it’s worth, I too went James —> Foden. The news about Jesus just about tipped it towards foden

Also debating the same thing.
Whether the result against Spurs (a) was a fluke or if they're the real deal.

You have a point regarding fixtures. I said the same thing last week. The best time to buy everton attacking assets was last week. If you waited until this week...not as many points expected in the next 3

DCL, Foden, Van Dijk

G2G

You need at least 1 more Wolves. Maybe Kane to Jimi

A

Why is Barnes mentioned if he’s in both?

B

B, look at my team below

tried, its hard.

martinez, steer

Lampty, saiss, van dijk (mitchell, dunne)

Kdb,foden,stirling,salah (anguisa)

Dcl, bamford, jiminez

Actually that aint bad....

Here's mine:

Martinez (Forster)
Robbo, Van Dijk, Saiss (Lamptey, Mitchell)
Sterling, KDB, Foden, Rodriguez (Soucek)
Jimenez, Richarlison, Watkins

Thoughts? Any suggestions welcome. Been staring at this screen for far too long!

Same team with Lamptey over Justin and Anguissa over Bissouma

Looks perfect to me

V near my exact team other than I have Son instead of Jiminez and Lampty over Justin plus Brewster

Good team
I'd do

Martinez James Justin >> Guaita Taylor Lamptey

very good team and I like Foden choice, I think he will come good in the next few weeks.

Foden?

Not a good idea to plan a future transfer whilst on a WC imo

White is a solid pick, Lamptey might be better...

Klich is probably safer than Podence, but if Podence holds a spot the fixtures and surrounding team are much better.

Ridiculous amount of $ on the bench.

Guaita 5, Foden 6.5, Justin 4.5, Mitchell 4.1 (4.0)

Yep but I'd prefer Jimi Long term

Not for me. Jimi's fixtures much better short term and the team look better

2A for me. Although maybe 2B and have JImenez instead. Havertz a no go until Ziyech & Pulisic are back.

2A

2B

Zaha is a donkey, is he ever truly switched-on?

Could lose motivation once the transfer window shuts

80% yes

Don’t see any reason why not

probably - Pep is short on 1st team options and Foden is playing well, but it's Pep...

Wilson

When fit, yes

Yes, is integral to Potter's 3 at the back system. Potter does rotate his players but has been playing the 'twos' in the cup last couple weeks.

May have problems when fixtures are more condensed.
Brighton don't set up like they used to; playing for a draw.

A valuable rotation risk! If you have a good bench it’s fine, if not, I’d stay clear.

No

He’s 4th choice, surely we know that Mee and Tar are their prefer pairing when fit.

Mee and Tark will be back soon
4.0>3.9 incoming

Well said. I also have this question.

I think a lot of the sales and subsequent purchases were WC.

I don’t buy the ‘too expensive to captain’ narrative - if a player is performing regardless of price or captaincy I want them in.

Good thinking great team.
Wood could be good value and has great fixtures. He can hit 160 to 180 if playing 90 each week.

Foden > Zaha imo

Depends how many other punts you've taken in your team. I'd prefer Zaha.

Foden better option if you don't mind benching risk. Zaha traditionally sulks once transfer window shut and no big team has rescued him from Palace (hopefully he's grown up but it's been a habit)

KWP

Very tough. Probably Walker-Peters but he could really punish you.

KWP

F T

Probably a goal each - neither side has a strong defense but both managers will try and limit opportunities.

No go for it

Not a very explosive asset so unlikely to get more than 18 points even if he returns. If you have more expensive options I would prefer them.

Boring

He's a kid that got a run out in a cup game

Bottom of the barrel for Man City assets

Might get a few minutes of bench at best

Do it then

Ideally neither. Dunne won't get many more weeks. Ferguson might not step straight into team as 1st choice. I'd find 0.5...

Such as?

What rumours? But I fear Podence will be benched if Semedo starts.
