    GW of horrors done and done. Team in crumbles:

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Saiss Cancelo
    Foden Salah JWP Son Saka
    Broja

    Foster Weghorst King Johnson

    Do I go:
    A) JWP -> Kulu -4
    B) JWP -> Coutinho -4

    Other suggestions welcomed.

    Terribly drawn to going with DCL on wildcard and then switching to Bamford in GW30 if he looks like starting. Even though I would say they actually have less than zero form.

    It's literally just the fact that they're the same price.

      yip, good call

      Man U just 3 clean sheets in the PL in the last 12 games and conceded against the likes of New, Wolves, Burnley twice, Villa, Brentford, Soton & Leeds…

      Brighton just 2 clean sheets over the last 14 PL games

      Kane has 7 returns in the last 12 games (76 points), 4 of which were double digit

    Do we know status on Cancelo?

    If selling to maximise games/fixtures for the next 4, who would you bring in:
    a) Cash - whu ARS wol TOT - ship sailed with tough fixtures?
    b) Doherty - mun WHU NEW avl bha - not really confident of spurs CS

      No further updates since we last heard from Pep. He is sick, but no clear idea if he will be able to play on Monday.

      I would probably bring in Doherty, but not sure and it sure feels like chasing points. Trying to figure out if its knee-jerk or a good move long term.

      I am keeping Cancelo but selling James after one week only (or Ait Nouri depending on target). So, I am also in the market for a defender. Here's some scattered thoughts about the defenders (copied from last page).

      Gabriel / Tierney / White - Great options long term, but difficult fixtures in GW29. Arsenal has the home advantage.
      Dier / Davies / Doherty - Clean sheets against Leeds / Everton does not mean they will be able to do so against United and Brighton, especially away from home.
      Stones - City defense has the highest chance of a clean sheet this gameweek.
      Everton defenders - Poor form, but two home fixtures. Their home form is still ok; one cleanie?
      Newcastle defenders - second best form in the league, but can they keep a clean sheet away from home?

        I own Ramsdale and White + Saka
        Doherty price is worth the gamble
        Good shout on Stones but if I sold Cancelo it would be no City for me
        Everton - I'm not even looking at 🙂
        Newcastle - Schar interesting but Chelsea away blank Tot is tough

        Just looked, Creswell has returns in 5 straight home matches, hmmm

          Good shout on Creswell. Just looked, pretty impressive underlying numbers as well and a good run of fixtures in 31 to 33. Could be a good differential.

          Agree on the Doherty price. Myself not very keen on a second Arsenal defender besides Ramsdale.

          It's tough. For 29 alone, Robbo is the better choice but given a blank in 30 and Tsimikas looming if a rest is needed, it's not so cut and dry.

        Do you think havertz will start vs Newcastle? I'm considering BBing and could keep him but I'm afraid he'll be rotated

          I am not sure tbh, which is why I have decided against my original plan of BB this week. Havertz is in amazing form though, and they don't have any other forwards like him at the moment.
          My plan was to BB, but I'm now benching James (FH 30) and then playing Havertz with Broja first sub.

            Yeah I may also have to can the BB plan. Broja also potentially injured and I'm not sure whether alonso will start either. Shame because I have quite a nice setup for it

              Yep, and supposedly gw36 will offer a good option for BB as well. So I might use it then. Never got a lot out of that chip anyway. Last year it was 6 points.. 😀

      This is my fear - Lille midweek - my guess he rotates

        Exactly. However, they are up 2-0 in that CL tie, and rumours about points deduction in PL due to going into administration should mean that they would prioritise getting a good lead within the top 4. All specuation, but would make sense.

    One of my best mates and luckily poor ML rival TCed Havertz, 78 points from one player 😀

    Can I save a FT here, or does something need changing?

      Definitely play Coutinho ahead of Broja. I am. Form over fixtures, and WH are knackered.
