these types of post are too complicated, its like a game of Sudoku or something.

D) Martinelli to Maddison

D - Maddison.

Or if you want to gamble then A - Maddison & Foden/Sterling/Mbuemo.

A and don't worry about rotation headache IMO

A easily.

Neine

I wouldn't, but I do think Foden will outscore Rash this week.

(Alternatively C) can also be done with Maddison/Foden instead of Sterling)

Pedro stinking up your team for sure with those dodgy minutes so it's difficult as B would be clear if not.

Not A anyway. B as a push. C is only okay if you're content with taking rank damage this week - Salah out for a hit is rough.

Looks good. Sterling for minutes and team involvement. Foden for ceiling and a significantly better side plus better fixture.

I'd go Foden if you're lack Alvarez, Sterling if you're lacking Jackson.

Baldock

A

If you think Cash starts at RM this week, pick him. If not - Baldock.

I'm a week late as I wildcarded last week but if this week, I'd have him in due to his price and potential, but have him as part of a decent rotation, so not necessarily play him every week.

Dropped how/why?

All sorts of player returns could cause a drop. Bailey back. Moreno back etc.

Would be an amazing pick if he kept the right mid spot.

Mbuemo and Maddison are miles better picks this weeks, no brainer.

Your team must be amazing if your transfer decision surrounds a 4m Defender!! Well played fella!

Must be nice to have a throw away transfer. Not sure I’ve ever had that.

i doubt Baldock drops, there is no way they would allow a playing 3.9 defender this early in the season, but that being said i had both but sold Baldock this week for gusto since Kabore has better fixtures, not that i'd ever willingly play either of them

Talks are in place for Baldock to Athens. He also has a great fixture this week.

Would be surprised if he drops tonight, there are 71 players below him in % terms on FPL stats, we are not going to have 72 fallers tonight 🙂

Doesn't look like he will drop tonight, only at 96.6 on FPL stats. Guessing we have the same defense (Chilwell, Estu, Saliba, Baldock, Kabore). Leaning towards starting him over Saliba. I would sell Baldock over Kabore just due to the likely price drop next GW.

No intention of selling him yet, but i followed your advise and quickly got another whiskey!

Reply fail to FCSB.

No

Absolutely not

leave watkins, just pedro to one of those for free

Just Wissa, but no Alvarez is painful.

Not saying he is the best, but i am getting Udogie

Colwill, Pinnock/Henry, U'dogie, Botman...

Udogie, Henry

Gusto for the next few weeks!

Rashford today
Martinelli tomorrow

Estu

Henry

20%, 40% and 30% implied CS odds across the three respectively pretty much 🙂

Cheers both.

Rough decision. Estupi at a push, beware of attacking returns from him.

Estu

Estu

Henry

You could: Keepers, Estu, Shaw, Marti, Rash, Pedro and Mub would go.

But, Pickford has Sheffield. Shaw can be benched for now with Estu playing this week alongside Henry and Chil. Saka, Sterling and Foden are awesome picks. Haaland plays and Mub would be benched whoever he is.

Basically you need to sort out Pedro and then one of Marti and Marcus.

I'd go with A personally (either or Maddison at a push).

Have some money in the bank for Pedro to Alva or Jackson this or next week. Wildcard also viable still... Difficult decision.

Toss-up really. I rarely say that but this may be a case of safe (Mbeumo) versus guts (Eze)

Easily Mbuemo unless you had some sort of vision where Eze is going to score a hatty.

On a wildcard, yes. Then bring him back down the line.

Too many other, better options based on fixtures.

Amazing xGI though.

I would rather hold him and run him as my 4th defender than outright sell. Surely you have the TV to support a 4th defender?

Yea I reluctantly got him out on a wc. Just made sense using it. WIthout one, nah

C

I'd just play Baldock against stinky Everton. It's Everton.

I like Baldock > Udogie. You will want Udogie or another Spurs DEF moving forward so I see no issue with doing it now. Having a 4th DEF also allows better rotation.

But baldock OR kabore? 😀 Scratching my head over that one, need to play the one I don't sell

An insta drop from Roy would be harsh. He's only conceded 2 in 3. Who knows.

Saw comment on here that Hendo wouldn't be an immediate threat. Hoping Sam stays no. 1 until I WC 🙂

Cheers.

Gvardiol for minutes or Walker for goal involvement.

Expect rotation from both.

I think Walker gets more minutes, but thats only because Gvardiol is far more of an unknown. Walker also plays higher when he does play.

No one is safe.

Yea tricky one, Dias might just be easier but same issue! Walker probably the best bet at rb tbh

Baldock out against Everton at home?

yes

Difficult as Rash clearly better and xMins but Mart at home. I'd go Moutinelli.

Foden top pick.

I shipped out martineli

Martinelli

I sold Rashford for Maddison.

I like Martinelli to improve with Jesus back, or at least I think he is back.

A start Jota or Estupiñán

Just start estu.

probably not, but Wissa if i had to choose

Who can you play in place of Pedro?

No. Agree with Lugs, Wissa is a good option, but not for a hit (unless you have terminal damage and then take hits now and get the benefit)

a

A

I trust Maddison to deliver, so A. Still not sold on Sterling.

For me, yes. And if I want Newcastle defence at some stage I think I'll look around him and go cheaper tbh.

Perfect timing

Dont think Trippier is a viable option this year at that price. His and NEWs defensive performances late last year and this so far dont justify that tag (although if you have spare cash like me then perhaps!) Never want to talk someone away from their instincts, however!
