Coufal and Steer...

I have only Watkins, so it is either Anguissa or Cresswell xD

Peacock-Farrel and Bissouma/Dallas.

Oliver Burke or Kilman for Grealish

Bissouma and Coufal (Big man Lascelles would also be out)

No one on my bench. Really want to save transfer so might end up with 10 men

Forster, Coufal, Soucek

Vestergaard and Lamptey or Soucek

BPF in place of Martinez - Coufal is probably coming in for Sterling which leaves me with either Kilman and Poveda instead of Grealish

Just Cofaul for Grealish

Anguissa and Steer...

Brewster and Kilman, let's go!

I'd give it an 11% chance

Very small chance, yes.

Very low imho.

Given I only have Villa keepers, Grealish and Wilson that probably increase the likelihood to 99%

newcastle have requested a postponement

on the one hand, no one wants to see a team field all u23s. And neither team is in Europe (shouldn't come in to the equation really).

on the other, it opens up a whole can of worms.

no idea.

Newcastle's argument is based on players getting injured due to lack of training. which is flimsy AF.

I have 4 players in that game and non-playing garbage like Mitchell & Burke on the bench. Free hit?

Much higher than that. I'd say its 50/50. Toon have asked for it to be called off its now up to the Premier League to be reasonable and allow that to happen.

Very low. But as I have 2 Villa keepers it would be a perfect excuse to get rid that I can't normally justify.

Villa game will not be called off.

more like 75% chance. I'd suggest those of us with 3 villa start planning how we can try and manage out way out of this situation.

As it stands I have 2 playing bench options, so inclinded to go with those and maybe take a -4 to change keeper. If more players are ruled out from my team though I haven't ruled out deploying the free hit, although I'm very reluctant to use it at this point of the season.

It's 50/50, but there's only a 10% of that

Having watched the spurs game, Ziyech looks a great player but I think there are better options at his price from an FPL perspective

I'm a sterling owner and if Sterling starts and play the full 90, well, I don't think it's a particularly good news. And if he plays 0 that's also a so-so news.

Guess what, if he plays 70', still a so-so news isn't it?

Ziyech had a poor game against spurs

One thing to note though is tammy missed 2 or 3 really good chances and I think there is pressure there for giroud to start, if he does that would increase ziyechs appeal because even though he’s a bit of a donkey he’s very good in the air and ziyech was whipping a ton of crosses in

We just need Pep to be honest and say something like:

“We’ll give Sterling the start this weekend to hopefully bag him some goals and up his confidence”

I hate all the cryptic BS they always say

Seems that Sterling really had small injury during int. break and not typical int. break injury. Maybe that's why minutes managed

It has to be A) - and pray

Guess you can’t afford KDB?

Son is a must have among these

You need city for this week one way or the other

What if he has been dropped due to poor performance?

😮

The only reason I would keep him is if he plays midweek and looks on it. If not, I would get rid.

Pep’s comments tell me he is feeling ruthless. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done in the past, if you’re a defender making mistakes, you don’t play. If you’re a forward not scoring goals, you don’t play. Could be wrong, but that’s what I gathered.

there's also a big history of Sterling not playing against Burnley. For some reason Pep have heavily redt him against the clarest over the past years in PL

Sterling had not started the last 3 home encounters against BUR in the PL before saturday's game

If he has his minutes managed in CL I am playing and captaining.

God bless.

Interesting point. And yeah, be crazy to ditch before Fulham, he only needs to start and can bring points

Can, could, should.

For 11m you need a guaranteed starter no iffs and buts

If sterling starts tonight which is suspect he won't start the weekend imo. Just cross youre fingers he doesnt start tonight.

Yes

But obv wait to here on Newcastle

I would actually save FT with that team

A)

Thanks both. Yeah, a little early to worry, but could be priced out of both A and C, so need to keep an eye on the prices and pull the plug early if I have to

Hold, I think there is good value in a hold this week, gives you lots of attacking options in gw12

Brace of YCs yes, seeing how he loves playing as a DM.

Never scored a brace against arsenal, maybe 1 goal

Team looks good to save FT, no urgent needs.

Not with Ricardo and Castagne back.

Chelsea's Mendy is all the Mendy you need

You'll be saying thus until its your team with a covid outbreak and its the final day of the season with something to play for.. could happen to any club and not really their fault

Thanks, TM, just got through with 50 (-8), phew, that was close...

This season keeps on giving... out :/

resulting in*

there has to be 15 Newcastle cases for it to be cancelled

This season will end in chaos if the villa Newcastle game is postponed. There will be many other teams asking for games to called off when thay have difficulties like Newcastle. What a joke.

Why are you forcing Podence out? Was fantastic against Arsenal and can get in behind Liverpool's back line imo. Keep and get Jota in elsewhere

looked good in the 2 games i've watched recently. you wonder how good he'd have been if not for all his injuries, a really under rated player when fit.

but it's a no from me in terms of FPL (for now).

FPL Scout articles are penned by ghost writers. Rumour has it that some authors even work for FFS. Caveat Emptor. 🙂

I have three as well... praying it goes ahead

Jinx

if they all produce negative tests it should be ok, ben crellin has already tweeted mid week next week is free and it could be moved and still be the same GW

I don't think so. People are freaking out too much about not having KDB.

With his limited goal threat this season, I am strongly considering changing my captain to Bruno even though I own KDB.

Yeah, not worth wasting your transfers taking them out as long as you have a playing bench.

Yes
