Benched guehi(9) for burn(1) in gw 8 and now tsimikas(15) for lascelles(0) and it was decisions I really went back and forth with. 23 points in the drain. 35k could have been 5k, season defining and such small margings. Best tactic now is probably to have such a bad bench that you dont have to make these decisions

Areola (turner)
Digne trips tsim ( kaboure, myko)
Son salah bowen soucek (anderson)
Haaland Watkins alverez

0.6 itb. 2ft.

Alverez and Anderson to semenyo and mbeumo and resign soucek to bench playing 352?

Not sure where to go here with 2ft and 0.0itb. Maybe Gordon>Palmer and roll another ft?

Areola
Schär Udogie Cash
Salah Son Saka Diaby Gordon
Haaland Darwin

Turner Archer Kabore Tsimikas

Trossard probably preferred to Nketiah from now on?

Salah v Haaland next week is the big one

So, are either Salah or Haaland really worth their price?

Cash Diaby Chukwuemeka to Lascelles Mbuemo Palmer worth a -4? (0.0 left ITB)

Man C v Liverpool. Newc v Chels. Spurs v Villa.
Most of my players in those three games next week! Plus a couple of Ars at Brentford, which could also be not a great point-scorer.
Just hope for the best and to muddle through I think. But might move Diaby to Eze.

101 points, my season finally starts

Hello!

Leno
Trippier Gabriel Cash
Salah Son Maddison* Diaby
Haaland Alvarez Nketiah
Areola // Palmer Kabore Taylor

Iffy pair of transfers this week bringing Gordon & Nketiah in. Went differential & didn't pay off (maybe if Nketiah had started!).

Palmer subbed in for Maddison this week, but he's an obvious sell ASAP.

Do want Mbeumo from GW14 or so... but not best fixture next week.

Bowen (BUR) seems like a good switch to make. Do you reckon Son might be sellable from 14? Doubt he'll dry up completely.

Diaby owners selling?

Alvarez on pretty thin ice currently for me. 10 goals in last 2 and he's got one assist.

Guess he's a bit deep and while he's playing there he's never going to match an out and out striker.

Could do:
Alvarez + Mitoma -> Watkins + Palmer for a hit, but spose sensible to wait another week to reasses and do for free if i want. Also still got WC, so must ban hits til i've used that!

Oh and thank you to everyone that stopped me selling Tsimi for a hit last week - got very lucky, not least as i was 50:50 as to whether he'd start at all.

Hard to see any obvious differential captains nxt gw. Bowen, Eze, Solanke, Son decent ones I guess

Who would you bench?

Trippier Cash Udogie Gabriel Taylor
Salah Saka Mbeumo Bowen Palmer

Areola Turner

Haaland Watkins
Turner Archer

Areola Turner
Cash Trippier Saliba Andersen Beyer
Salah Bowen Diaby Gordon Sarr
Haaland Darwin Alvarez

A) Cash to Tsimi (probably bench)
B) Sarr to Eze (probably play and transition to 3-5-2)
C) Something else?

Aerola has been a very poor pick recently.

Got in Bowen Ferguson for Madds Alaverz worked. Ferguson no show Tsimikas first sub 15pts first bit luck. 94pts all out happy.

Anyone know why Ferguson did not play?

A) stick to haalandless plan to gw16
B) Son, Álvarez, Darwin to haaland, eze/mbeumo, Archer for -4

Any Ferguson injury news?

My front 7 all returned, the other 4 got 4 points with 20 on the bench. 82 though, decent week.

91 points with 24 on the bench! Great week, but could have been mega!

100 points. Niiice

I see a lot of comments on here about how the game is ruined these days with casuals being spoonfed but does anyone else find it way more fun these days? All my mini leagues are really competitive now when I used to crush them 5 years ago

Start 3 defenders next GW:
A: TAA (mci)
B: Trippier (CHE)
C: White (bre)
D: Tsimikas (mci)
E: Taylor (WHU)

Rest of the team:
Areola
X - X - X
Salah - Son - Mbeumo - Eze - Palmer
Haaland - Morris

(Turner, Archer, X, X)

Julian Alvarez owners, what are we doing?

I actually like the Liverpool and Spurs games, but he plays in South America qualifiers on the Wednesday morning before the early Saturday kick off.

Also Pep overthinks a little in these games and he gets subbed off before 80'.

Think I will wait for a leak before the Liverpool game, keep if he starts, get rid if not.

The updating takes longer than usual due to the assist added to Anthony Taylor, not registrated in FPl prior to the gameweek.

No idea. 2ft. 0,7 Itb.

Areola (Turner)
Cash Tsimikas Gabriel (Guehi, Lascelles)
Salah Saka Bowen Mitoma (Palmer)
Halland Watkins Alvarez

Top 10k average score this week?

Cash>James Luiz >Palmer, good moves?

Is Raul Jimenez nailed at Fulham? Need a cheap attacker and Fulham have a lot of good fixtures coming up
