After an eventful Gameweek 14, in which I almost committed the deadly sin of selling Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), I couldn’t be happier with the end result: a total of 93 points and an overall rank well inside the Top 20K for the first time since Gameweek 10.
Considering the rumours from several sources saying Salah was going to be rested at Selhurst Park, I almost pulled the trigger and sold him for Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) on Saturday morning. However, since I wasn’t 100% convinced by the rumours, I decided to hold fire and hope for a cameo from the Liverpool midfielder at the very least. After all, it would be heartbreaking to sell him ahead of such a nice fixture just to find out the rumours weren’t true.
However, the rumours were very true and he was indeed benched. But Salah doesn’t need many minutes to wreak havoc and after his 16-pointer, I was relieved to have decided to save my transfer. In addition, Ruben Dias (£5.7m), Andrew Robertson (£7.3m), Jack Grealish (£7.8m) and my captain Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m) all delivered nine points or more, which felt great after three red arrows in a row.

Worth having only 7 BGWers and 8 DGWers, to save FH?
Why not ft. Erling Haaland
Meant to save free hit to later. When Haaland comes to Chelsea or ManC, you mean?
Lol no no, just quoting him. But I'd go with that strategy if it means you'll have your chips intact
Hard work
8 DGW players and TC Salah could be very tasty.
Injuries screwing up my team 🙁 take the simple move, or make a big change?
A Jesus to Firmino
B Jesus and Chilwell > Adams and Robbo (-4)
C Jesus, Zaha, Chilwell > Kane, Soucek, Robbo (-8)
Context : Got kwp (ful) and Coufal (BRI) as first two subs. Already own Salah and Trent

Best combo for gw15-gw19.

B) Zouma+Rashford

Thoughts on Salah triple captain? Boxing day is always goals galore and he's totally on form!
If you want to TC Salah, do it in DGW 19.
Hmmm good point.. But Salah has scored only once vs. Burnley and the other game that week is Man Utd which will be tough to get solid points!
Have you seen United defend?
Fabio Borges owns a time machine
Haha why? What’s he done?
It’s quite nice being able to spot the exact moments when he starts to pull away in the distance
Pick one to bench:-
a) Coufal
b) Dallas
3) Dier
Thanks. Merr X'Mas to all !!!
Dier
3
Santa, all I want for Christmas is a Salah blank
And a Tsimikas haul
Is 12 DGW’s good for a BB?
Depends on your bench players, not the amount of DGW players you have, BB merely let’s you play additional 4 players...
Exactly !!!
Yes
Depends on who your SGWs are. If it is like Kane, Reguilon etc then probably ok.
Which City defender to buy now, Dias or Cancelo? Walker apparently has illness so Cancelo should start, or no? Cheers!
Walker and Jesushas covid
So Walker is out, hence Cancelo 100% to start or not?
almost 100%
Would you take any hits here? Grealish to Raphininha and Targett to Robbo?
Or stick?
Reading on here it sounds like Coufal and Dias both won't play?
Meslier
Coufal Dias Targett
Son KDB Grealish Bruno Salah
DCL Bamford
Taylor Brewster Mitchell
1.5 ITBWhy on earth wouldn’t Dias play?
rested as never been rested unlike the rest of the defence I guess???
Nah, they’ll need Dias all the more now with covid affecting players, and Pep relies on him anyway you’d think, be fine.
Why wouldn’t Coufal play?
Lol people thinking Coufal won't play because his wife gave birth...
G2G?
McCarthy
Dias Robbo Cresswell Dallas
Salah(C) Kdb Bruno Bowen
DCL Bamford
Forster Watkins Anguissa Mitchel
Only doubt:
A) play Cresswell/Dallas and bench Watkins
B) Play Watkins and one of the two defsBench Dallas instead of Watkins
Yeah I would play watkins instead of Dallas. I the choice of Dallas and Soucek and I feel its closer, might play Dallas.
Watkins over Dallas for sure
Ok, thx guys.
Play Balbuena or Taylor?
Balbuena
Salah or KDB)
I'm going kdb to chase points
Only 2 days for everton game
He played every game when 3 games a week, it won't matter.
Do you think he will score? Bcz city are with poor form
I'm willing to take the risk with that newcastle defence that's been conceding a lot of shots
Salah
Besides Coufal, what other rumours are circulating?
Oh, what happened with Coufal?
Missus had a baby
Hope there's a load of goals this weekend as going into boxing day with 1 defender
Could always take hits as it's only like a 2 points loss per defender.
I'd probably end up getting one who doesn't even start, as much as I agree with the logic of it.
Captain salah or KDB?
Salad

Would you take a hit to replace Chilwell to be able to field a third defender if Coufal misses out?
0.2 ITB
Martínez
TAA - Robertson - Coufal
(K)DB - Bruno - Son - Rashford - Grealish
Bamford - Welbeck
(Farrell, Chilwell, Brewster, Mitchell)New baby? Doubt that'll keep him out will it?
In the words of roy keane... he didnt have the baby himselfHope not, but would rather take the hit this week if he ends up staying home with his baby 😉
Would downgrade Chilwell or Grealish next week anyway to swap out KDB for Salah.
Well, Roy Keane is trash.
😮
Some help/advice would be great please tia and Merry Christmas

Plan was to Tc Salah but maybe should aim for BB with only the players marked I’d wanna change for a BB.
So with this team would you..
A) Go for BB
B) TC salahBb
Still have Chilwell. Keep or ditch? PP 5.5..
I would sell then buy him back when he returns
Who are other 4 defenders?
Dallas, Coufal, Lamptey, Taylor
Lamptey out
Coufal doubt with baby
Prob need to sell chill or lamp
Ditch
Hopefully Vladimir Coufal is given paternity leave until the end of 2020.
With Walker out, which of Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Mendy is more nailed for my 1 GW punt before WC tomorrow?
Gotta be Cancelo considering the only other RB has COVID.
Cancelo surely start
Would you take him over the xmas period though?
(I know the question is on a 1week punt, so the answer to that is yes!If I was going city I'd gamble stones but that's just me
*depends on sub defenders
Laporte can play LB
Fernandinho can play CB
Guess Pep can find someone else playing RB
Is there going to be a live viedo tomorrow of Mark doing his WC?
Merry Christmas all. I have 2 FTs and 0.3 ITB. I had planned to upgrade Lewis to Taylor but don’t really need to play him this week, so wondered if Lookman > Soucek was a better move instead? Hoping to roll the other FT.
Martinez
Balbuena / Justin / Bednarek
KDB / Salah (c) / Fernandes / Grealish / Lookman
Kane / Bamford
Subs: Button / Brewster / Lewis / 3.8Go soucek
Why no one answer !!!!!
Son kDB Cancelo BB for gw19 with 12 DgW players ok?Def not. Delete team imo.
Just answered your own question
Yes great sgw players
GL. lots can change between now and then
3 years, 4 months agoWC next gw. Which options scores the most this week?
A) Justin (MUN) + Adams (ful)
B) Matip (WBA) + Wilson (mci)
