I think if one has a City attacker (apart from Gundo obviously) you have to stick and pray they start vs Norwich. After which you throw them out of your team.

Disclaimer: I don't have one.

Yup…I have Mahrez. Will swap him in GW3 for Son or someone else. Don’t have a stomach for Pep roulette either.

He’s a 20 or 0 this week. Live by the wheel, die by the wheel. Fingers crossed though!

I've got Torres! Would you dump him!

B or D, slight leaning to D.

Greenwood looks a good pick.

Probably an off option but a Spurs asset like Lucas could be an interesting pick. Played an excellent game vs City, and his next 3 look good.

In the same situation except dont have the 0.5

Im thinking B or D, slight lean to B. With the 0.5 Grealish could work, bit risky for future GWs though

Wrong thread.

Greenwood

The player I'm most likely to make a transfer if I wanted to (I don't), looks to be playing up top with Southampton, Wolves and Newcastle in his upcoming three fixtures. Like the look of him but there is a worry that United have plenty of options to replace him if performances dip.

Mount. But wouldn’t rule out Raph or Harrison to bring in funds to keep defence strong.

Benrahama is a must have for the money

normal.

suspect defence for west ham, I'd hold for now (I am)

I can't decide, swap him to Benrahma, or swap him out for one week for Torres, then bring him back in for Norwich, or just keep him, lol, not helpful!

Those 71 minutes and the potential price drop are putting me off.

Probably keeping the whole team for 1 more week though.

I'm keeping.

ASAP not possible at this hour.

I will have a look at him again gw3 when I hopefully have two free transfers to use.

Will he get the minutes once Rash is back ? Keane is sadly right about Pogba, his game lacks intensity. Good player tho.

Pogba not shown any consistancy previous seasons. I need to see alot more before turning my head. Also Sancho, Cavani, Rashford are soon back. If they play better he might not even hit the squad

Sancho and Cavani back, Pogba could drop deeper, I wouldn't be getting excited about him just yet

I think either way you gotta risk starting him. Pretty good potential of a CS and maybe even attacking returns against a poor Arsenal side.

Chilwell's only got the 1 match under his belt, a friendly against Wymouth. May see Alonso get 1 more start if we're lucky.

Possible but I think he’s more likely to either start or be unused.

13 starts 2 subs last year

Coming off the bench for 1pt more of a James or Hudson-Odoi thing

Keep. Mbuemo is a nice first bench to come on.
Good work getting him last week!

wouldn't trust this at all personally.
imagine if there's any doubt he'd sit vs Norwich

Limited info = safe guess.
Think it's 50% at best.

Even if he is at 100, there is still Pep rotation factor to consider. Not worth the punt I think.

You will walk alone

Is this a WC? If so, is there a Kane and/or Lukaku plan?

Looks good. My only concern would be when Robbo comes back, do you switch to a 3-5-2 and play Bissouma as your 5th mid?

2x 4.0 defenders scares me. Could be that neither are playing in two weeks easily - then you have no cover (though the other three are nailed and you’d want to play each week)

Anyone here owns Bamford? I'm unsure of what to do with him. Payed 8 mil for him and seeing Antonio and DCL get returns over the weekend hurts.

All the comentery suggest its his spot to lose and it looks like they want to off load Aurier. However I understand he's injury prone and Doherty will be knocking on the door.

worth a punt

As long as Nuno keeps 4 at the back. I feel 343 is coming. That being said, Tang could still keep his place as a RCB.
As people have already said though, he's injury prone

I believe so.

Answering with no idea.y

You bought him for Everton game, so got to stick with that.

Not a single forward scores a goal every week.

Take a chill pill. Give him a few weeks. Leeds came up against a Man U juggernaut. Leeds are at home next.

His next nine fixtures are arguably the best of any striker in the game, we know how attacking Leeds are, we know he's nailed, we know how good he is from last season, he isn't even that expensive. Unless your team is flawless already and you want to tinker with sideways moves like Bamford to DCL then I would keep him.

Penalties & hub of a 60+ goal attack

He will smash

Yep it did but planning to keep anyway

Keep

Keep

Keep.
I like DCL - and will list end up there myself. But Ings for the next two is awesome.

Don't sell Ings yet

Based on few lineups I have checked, he has played as centre and RCB in 3 at back, In back 4, he is right side centre back.

They'll likely sign another CB so I wouldnt invest in either Dier or Sanchez atm

Sanchez probably slightly ahead, but very difficult to say. Nuno may want Dier's experience next to him for a while.

According to the Athletic, he played 75% of the time in the middle of Atalanta's back 3. Not sure where we played for Argentina.

Sorry, it's an unhelpful answer, but it's probably too early to tell. My guess is he plays LCB next to Sanchez.

This seems like classic overthinking that leads to a bad decision.

If you’re trying to upgrade Gundo to Son then I think it’s smart - just accept you can’t do everything at once. Roll and play an extra defender and next week do the moves.
Or wait another week to get the awesome fixtures out of Ings.

Gundo down to a 5.5 just takes you away from Son.

Sounds like bad decision making to me, I certainly won't be getting rid of Ings before those 2 games. Plenty of options for Gundo if you must.

Yep for sure.

Depends on other teams. People forget that different seasons have different points totals needed to win. Can they get close to 100 points without a striker like Kane coming in? Unlikely.

Absolutely

GW2 and GW3 are easy fixtures for Villa.. Don't think anyone would've owned him if not willing to keep for next 2 fixtures.

Yeah, thought he looked good just not match fit and fully adapted to the new team. Think he'll be a super bargain, especially when he has 2 good strikers in front of him.

Yep, NEW and BRE is what I bought him for.

Cheers all, guess he might drop 0.1 this week.

Think he's an easy hold but also feel that Bailey will be the one that delivers the points over the next couple.

Yeap, reassess after NEW. I have high hopes against that defence.

Oh, and 5) Tsimikas, BUR (H)

Bench boost?!

I hope so. But I am not a Spurs fan, just a FPL manager trying to pick up some gems. Hahaha

The commentators said Tanganga was selected over Doherty because they needed to prioritise defense over attack. No idea about Skipp

No Spurs fan but I really hope Tanganga becomes an option.

I’m not a Spurs fan but Skipp was the reason Norwich won the Championship last season. He is a very good player.

Depends on incomings, but both likely to get decent game time.

Fornals and Antonio are the locked ones in Moyes' system, regardless of a front 3 or 4 formation. Expect to see 3-way rotation between Bowen, Benny and Lingard for the remaining attacking spots considering European football.

There is still talk of Lingard coming in so we'll have to wait and see. If Benrahma keeps putting in the performances he should be fairly safe but they also have Europa league to face so ratation could be a big factor later on.

Benrahma becomes a major rotation risk if they sign Lingard and when European football starts for them

I think they’ll get Lingard eventually. Asking price is 25m

I got Benhrama for 4 GWs. After that the fixtures turn and Europe kicks in. At that point they need to rotate with a squad that is not adequate for the purpose. So I'm happy to play him for the next 3 games.

What rumours is that?

My thoughts are...

A. If I knew Everton were good I wouldn't have replaced DCL with Ings in the first place
Ings hasn't inspired me with confidence and he'll be gone for Lukaku soon anyway

B. Rapha was a lazy pick I wasn't convinced by
Not keen on a hit but I like Mbeumo and don't have Toney
Easier to get Luka later if I keep Ings now

Everton played Southampton who are going to struggle this year. Villa didn’t have Watkins to run the lines. I’d leave it a week or two.

B

Spurs face Watford

Depends a bit if kane is back i would say. Else its easy B

A

B

Should do

Easy save IMO

Exactly the same team as me except I've got Toney instead of Raph. I'm tempted to switch Barnes to Torres but don't wanna do anything rash.

Excellent team !!

My team exactly, except that I have Bachmann between the posts and Maupay for your Raphinha. Saving the FT the right thing to do.

That a save for me. Your under performers (who are the same as mine) in Raph + Barnes both have decent-ish fixtures.

Why would u change to someone who is a doubt ? ...unless his price drops and u can pick up for a discount 🙂

Defo roll

Roll. Gundogan is a doubt to play.

Would rather find the extra 0.5 and get Grealish if you want a City mid

Get in Bruno.

You must have got them for a reason, knowing Bruno's situation. They have good fixtures. Stick to whatever philosophy you went into the season with.

I made the same mistake although had reasonable gameweek because of West Ham and Son.

I did Mane > Bruno Saturday evening, could n’t afford if there was a price change (which there subsequently was).

I would make the change. If Man Utd are going to keep playing good football you will be watching every game from behind the Sofa. You still have Salah to (more than) cover Mane.

It was a mistake from the start and We should never have let Mark S talk us into it.

Won’t have enough owners to double drop in a week

No to double drop

Thanks chaps

I can’t see that Pepe has had a price drop?
