LATERISER

Three-time top 200 finisher and two-time champion of India

I am looking to save a transfer this week, having removed funds from my defence in Gameweek 4 to allow the upgrade from Leon Bailey (£4.7m) to Marcus Rashford (£6.3m). As much as I want to punt on a Manchester City attacker, I don’t have a clear route right now. I’m eyeing up Darwin Nunez (£8.9m) once his suspension ends, which was another reason to take money out of defence.

ZOPHAR

Seven-time top 10k finisher

      The way we playing at the moment I'd stay clear from all our assets.
      Even Bowen is off the boil.
      When it clicks I'm looking at Scamacca as there is good striker there.

      Could be an interesting switch in GW8 when West Ham have a really nice 5 out of 6 game run while Gross fixtures turn. Really not sure what position he'll have and how nailed he'll be - Moyes has quite a lot of options

        I think I prefer the Toney move as I prefer to spread the risk and you have Salah, but without the City defensive double up I'd find it hard to part with Cancelo

      Having watched his every game for Leeds, I think Rodrigo is one of the most braindead footballers I’ve ever seen and he really reverted to type vs Brighton. Him playing up top has worked for him to an extent under the Marsch system as we create plenty of chances, but despite a couple of good finishes so far this season, with Bamford supposedly back soon he’ll be back to wandering around trying to be a 10 and passing the ball out of play at every opportunity. Martinelli for me

      Feels like I am making changes just for the sake of it.

    Poor Scott Parker. Gets Bournemouth to the promised land only to be sacked after 4 games.

        As a Cherries fan myself, he was a bit too mouthy to the press, should have respected his employers a bit more….

          Yeah its the comments, not the results, isn't it? Especially "I can see more (heavy defeats)" after Liverpool

      Villa - WIN
      Man City - LOSE
      Arsenal - LOSE
      Liverpool - LOSE

      Not quite sure what results the board were expecting with those opening 4 fixtures. Next 2 games are the key ones.

          Makes sense there was some kind of fallout
          Problem is now you maybe have further hurt morale ahead of two big games and don't have much time left in the transfer window

    Best replacement for Son? 1FT, 0.0 ITB.

    Thoughts on Son + Archer -> Kane + 4.5 for a -4?

      Yeah quite like that move. Sterling could be an interesting punt otherwise for no hit.
