What formation are you playing?

If playing 3-5-2 then get Greal too

Looks good. Until Kane score a brace against city

More than ok

Looks good.

And Spurs' played terrible. Hard to say really. One minute I want to bring him in. The next I don't. At least I got time to tinker

Agreed.
I can just imagine Maguire and Lindelof running into each other and falling in a heap as Robinson puts a shot through DDG's legs while at the other end Johnstone makes double figure numbers of saves and stops a pen.

I agree entirely, although people here sometimes really do jump after one good performance from a player. I've had him since the start but before last week considered getting rid after WBA and still am. He seems to have always preferred playing away in the PL but regardless MU are all over the place from week to week so you can't really rely on him, and their fixtures aren't exactly stellar. If they pick up form he's an easy set and forget but because they're not reliable right now I can't see the rush. Then again Bellerin was the next "essential" last week, wonder how that's gone down now.

Had him for a while. Happy to have for the wba game but not sure I'll captain him

I dont think hes going to haul but I think he seems likke a season keeper, might as well bring him in now as they're facing one of the worst teams in the league

I have Bruno but will captain Richa

Not captaining but this is a different team to last season/early season- no Pogba Matic, Bruno can spend the whole game CAM as he did Vs Everton

Dunno bout his stats, but he scored double digits from GW3 onwards,
except against Tottenham (45mins played), Chelsea & Arsenal (defensively solid from what I read at that point)

That's scary

True, but Newc and Leeds hardly watertight and Chelsea playing so well.

I agree with your point, but at 8 million and Chelsea being the first big team to actually click, I think tougher opponents will be looking to score and won't be parking a bus. I'll definitely be playing him every week but just not Captaining him for the harder matches.

Problem with Chelsea is that I can see points are going to be shared by the attackers. Plus they are not going to score 4 goals every GW.

People tend to forget that.

Not to mention Chelsea seem to be more defensive orientated recently... the tougher fixtures will not help their cause.

Ziyech looks to be a set and forget option which is always nice.

I think Ziyech first. Hamez played poorly in the last game so I'd wait until he shows some form. That being said, Fullham are probably more obliging than Newcastle...

There are some other benefits to Hamez too - he's more nailed in that team, whereas Chelsea have plenty of midfield options - not that I don't think Ziyech will mostly play when fit - it's just that we shouldn't be surprised to see rotation and rest for CL games.

Z for being sensible, H for the fun of FPL. Look at his immediate fixtures

Can add that I have Werner but not DCL.

Can't remove Hamez with his next 3 fixtures

Traditionally a trap and I see you have Watkins, but Barkley could be the answer.
In your position I'd hold Son for this week.

I have Barkley. And Soucek.

Is son and ASM to ziyech and Grealish -4 an option?

Dropping like flies.

Looks like Klopp's deal with the devil has reached the payback phase.

Think I'll have to do away with Robbo now.

Often the only season keepers are the keepers

To my mind, "season keeper" means decent value so they tend to last a little longer than "essential" options.

@ the clowns calling Son a season keeper 2 weeks ago

Lovely stuff. Maybe Justin to KWP?

Bye bye Robbo

It will be Milner - Matip - Fabinho - Robertson most likely though

A and B

A and B

A and c

Abs

Benching nightmare.

Almost picked that too well.
Jebus could be gold.

your bench is too good for my liking. Konsa to 3.9. Soucek to 4.5

You need to fit in KDB/Sterling somehow

Aguero looming. Would be wary of bringing in Jesus

Prob Bruno cause of Timo and Raheem.
Is coverage still a thing this week?

C

On a WC I'd downgrade Werner to get Ziyech or go Chilwell, Cresswell, Cancwello defence.

Love to Rich and DCL double up

Also I’m looking at a city def double up

Rich and DCL here too, most probably.

basically FFS template lol 😉

Cancelo.

City defender Cancelo/Dias or Targett

I'm going for KWP, I still can see them conceding against a good team that can exploit the high line but they've looked a lot better defensively lately.

Moving away from 4 at the back will do you good

Nice to see a fellow lookman owner, I feel your pain

Just focus on plugging holes.

Saiss > James this week. Next week take a hit to bring in KdB and all of a sudden your team doesn't look that bad.

GW9 - Saiss > James
GW10 - Jimi + Son > KdB + Watkins/Bamford and you're on track. You also wield some nice differentials in Mane, Barkley and Lookman.

That defence is hard to look at... would fix that first so you can actually field out 3 defenders.
Son + Dunne --> Grealish + Chilwell maybe?

I don't think Robbo should be your priority. Other fires to put out. I like the transfers you are suggesting. Then get in KDB for Son next

Cheers guys. Great advice

Tempting to take a hit on defence and then i can set and forget and focus elsewhere

Think you have been unlucky with JoGo injury too then.
Think Maupay and Saiss need to be take round the back of the barn with a shotgun at some point.
Keep one Spur moving forward.

Sound for this week i feel

There's no logic in keeping any

Penalties, easy to shift to Aguero (when fit), Vardy and Werner

penalties and reliable

The beard for me.
Performs home and away against all types of opposition.
Pens.
Son to Bruno or KDB an easier swap.

He's a goal machine.. Spurs goal man... main target... World cup golden boot.... Spurs will score 'some' goals... Im keeping Kane... Selling son to James (all part of the master plan switching to a 3-4-3)

Kane keeping, Son is the difficult one. Fixtures aside he’s such great value at 9.0-9.5

Why is that interesting?

Enjoy your 2 pointers then

I'd prefer Fabinho at CB if he had Fabinho in front of him! Maybe not a bad combo but TAA will have to defend better for them to bank some cleansheets. At least with Allison back they have some leadership at the back.

Problem is for how long?

nope

Nope. Nobody knows how Pool will lineup and TAA might only be out for a few games

Wait and see how LIV will line-up

I currently have 0. Would like at least 1 lol

May as well see how many flies fall before the GW.
No Grealish could be an issue but unless you want 3 up front, hard to sort.

davis to watkins,bench podence ,then look again gw10

Plus 10 million for them.

They need him tbh. Heard they were considering writing to the FA & Fifa to allow them sign players due to the injuries... maybe just rumor

Not sure on Coleman. Who’s Bernardo? Also just get a set and forget keeper.

Midfield looks peng, tho not sure on Zaha really.

I mean he could blank. WBA made it difficult for Spurs.

Not just cos he’s at home though that’s not really a reason

Ah no, surely he'll have to go to the pitch? That's taking working from home a bit too far.

None of them gone be nailed on enough to be considered.

Avoid.
