Not for a minus no. Getting those two out for a hit could really hurt if they haul

I would the way Pool are defending is comical, not like they are 1 & 2 in the defence points anymore?
Trent not even on first page!

No - Chilwell is a keeper for me. I'd try and get a City defender in another way for GW10.

Davies -> Chilwell for starters

Trossard has a great fixture this week so hold and upgrade him to Zaha/ Chelsea mid/ Hamez next week

jimenez>werner and bank the other free

All of them are good

Saiss out of those as he isn't playing. Id also want Chilwell in my team though.

Probably Saiss since he has probably lost his place

A

I would do B. It’s too early to say whether or not Saiss has “lost his place” definitively.

Pulisic to Ziyech if out. Keep Mitchell as 5th def

Good to go for this week

That defence is in the brink of collapse though

Saiss out to avoid a price drop, Zouma for a Chelsea double up looks good or Kilman/Coufal if you want the funds.

Wow, we almost have identical teams 🙂

Martínez
Chilwell Lamptey Cresswell
Grealish Rashford Salah Son
Kane DCL Bamford

Steer Saïss Podence Mitchell

Ings hurt his knee, apparently nothing serious so should be back fairly soon. Pulisic hamstring has gone (again), will be out for a while most likely.

B I think

One is enough of a differential and Chilwell / Cancelo are offering just as much attacking threat and clean sheet chances at much lower cost

I'm getting rid of Robbo. I think the stats are swinging in favour towards Robbo and TAA seems to have the bigger potential haul

keeping both seems wrong, so much funds in underperforming players, I'd only keep robbo if any. But you could have Chilwell and Coufal +4.1m...

Go with your favoured move

Go A, Saiss to Coufal is an easy move in the weeks to come

I prefer B

B, i reckon. Like you say, if Saiss doesn't start, Lamptey is injured, and Mitchell is still out, you're left with Taylor to fill 2 defender spots if you remove Robbo.

Like B but not sure if it's worth a -4 this week as Grealish up against Arsenal.

i like your logic but Arsenal havent looked great in attack

I think the problem with Aubameyang this season is he's seems to be out on the extreme left and isn't cutting inside as much as he used to. I think he went 3 games without a shot on target until the penalty against MU.

A

Saiss and Kai to Chilwell and Grealish

Keep saiss one more week not worth a hit

Nothing wrong with keeper imo and not worth a hit.

Trent or Saiss to Bellerin is a good move. I wouldn't be rushing for Dias this week - some tough games, maybe hold off or find a different defender you want.

Podence (or even your bench fodder 4.5 mid) to Jack

Podence to Grealish

Podence to Grealish yeah

great move, both need removing

Good moves

Yep, but next weeks WC squad will be different.
Focus on where the points will come from, not where they have been.

I wouldn't want McCarthy in goal. Mendy would be my pick. Id also change one of your three £4.5m defs to Kilman/Mitchell to fund it.

Id also prefer Cancello over Dias but understand the pick.

Like the rest especially the Vardy differential.

Looks good apart from the fact you'll probably want a City mid from GW10. I don't see an easy way of switching one in with that set up unless you plan on losing Salah.

Brewster, perhaps look at a rotation so playing one of Brewster, Soucek/Lookman and a 4.5 def each week

If fodder then cheap as possible and lowest TSB.

If you'll be playing 3-5-2 every week I'd just get a fodder forward and maximise team value in your starting 11.

I like Fornals, I think Bowen will score more goals but Fornals will chip in with more assists more frequently.

Bowen, has more Xg and Xgi this season than fornals but also has the history of data, his goal involvement for a struggling Hull side was crazy good and he is starting to replicate it for west ham. I also think Bowen is more nailed as the new Brentford chap might start getting game time at Fornals expense soon

bowen cause of fixtures but pablo cause of eye test...or go soucek and upgrade elsewhere

Bowen.
Think Fornals could be a rotation risk with Benrahma?

I went with Fornals. I like Bowen a lot but he doesn't seem to actually get many points, he tends to haul in one game and then go a few without anything while Fornals' points have been more regular and spread out. That being said it's not Bowen's fault that no-one seems to finish off his crosses and he's been unlucky.

I hate moves like this for def, booking in defensive transfers is bad. Go straight to your long term pick

Just keep Zouma, the fixtures are fine and you'll make some cash

Looks good to me

The moves look sound provided you've prioritised transfers for mids/forwards.

A, and learn from it, pay the price for the talisman of the team with loads of routes to points and better historical data.

A

a

both come with risk, i think i prefer A

A

A. Miles better player and better fixtures.

a

I think Werner will play wide left with Pulisic out, just keep that in mind.

I'm going Kane to DCL on GW10 WC mostly

I did Saiss to PVA so thats my recommendation.

Ings to Wilson this week

Saiss to Cresswell next week, or bring in Cancelo a game early

I’m holding off getting Cancelo until after the next 2, then he’s going straight in. Moving out Robbo for either Chilwell or Zouma but I see you already have both!

Bench Robbo, play Lamptey and you're G2G imo

Never bench Robbo, he could easily get something...

what are you seeing with city? played 6 matches and only scored 1 goal in 5 of them. I dont hate starting robbo

I do think a city defender (or even two) from GW10 is ideal

It’s really too early to think like that I’d say. Just make the moves you think will work out best regardless of position. Kane the obvious captain pick so I’d go with him, regardless of rank

I think captain should be dullard every week. Template plus a couple of differentials is all you need.

Template for your league or template overall? Template for your league makes some sense, but probably doesn't exist, and will hinder you at such an early stage. Template overall doesn't really have a 1-to-1 bearing over your success in your minileague. I would always say to go for whoever you think'll get the most points up until the last gameweek or three or always.

My philosophy is never look the others,never look the ranks,target to finish as higher as you can and play your own game.

25 points is pretty much one good versus bad captain pick and could be gone within one GW.

A

without a doubt, A

B

I’d go A with Zouma

b

Thanks everybody. I was leaning towards C with Bellerin, since Martial could help boost United's attack and Grealish plays Arsenal. Now I'm not so sure!

Nothing a couple of hits couldn’t sort. My cut off for wildcard is 5 key switches or more. If you feel like 5 of your starting team need to be shifted then go for it. Personally I can only see 3, maybe 4 out of those that I’d definitely want to move on

I wouldn't wc that. Two weeks of -4 to move Saiss, Dier, Maupay with TAA probably making way to fund it.

Replacements id look at are Vardy, Kilman, Cancello, Wilson but you have to see what works with the funds

Taa+Brewster->Coufal+Werner/Wilson

B

A

Isn’t Puli injured?

B is urgent, reports suggest he will be out for a month or so. Mitchell isnt really an issue as you have PVA so guaranteed one palace starter over there nice run

Pul to Zaha

B of course in your situation. Easy to bench 4 m def if other option is to bench 8m midfielder
