Konsa

It’s still Trippier IMO

Saliba

Branthwaite.

you know it's Trippier. 11 crosses!

Cash(C) made me giggle... But I'll take James ahead of one City defender here

Rashford has been less of a troll and more just... Bad. I'll push Mitoma slightly ahead of him, from the reserves

Taylor too.

Richarlison looking for a transfer on current form 😉

Areola, Sterling, Jackson should be in there I feel. Ederson is just doing what he does

I'd rather get Konsa, as I'd start him over Trippier here for GWs 20 and 21

I find it difficult to see many Chelsea clean sheets in those upcoming "easy" games, while Villa is a much better team than them this season

Saliba

Prob best for that price. But not worth a transfer if you won't start him regularly. Could be good to save a few transfers between now and Asian Cup and AFCON finishes when plenty of hits will be taken.

And Ederson is 15th...bizarre

Oksana, the Russian gymnast?

Crazy indeed...

Cue another hat trick when they agree

Yeah, seems decent, although I still think Saliba is priority over TAA, with Arsenal next four fixtures (three in London)

Not for a hit, as I don't see Darwin being benched vs Burnley... And the Tsimikas injury means Trent should be back to RB, with Gomez at LB. Not that this means a Trent blank by any stretch of the imagination, mind

Maybe just Tsimikas to Gabriel for GW19, then Darwin to Haaland for GW20

That said... Your defence might need hits or a WC to sort out Tsimikas (injured), Cash (not nailed), Lascelles (should be benched) and Kabore (subbed off at half time in an important win, not trusted)

Don't sell Watkins.

After TAA in can you do Saka and Archer for Haaland and fodder?

May bench Watkins against Man U because they are gonna defend like dogs.

Hwang.

Emerging voices: Richarlison and D. Luiz are on my radar now

That has been my midfield since wildcard and I have moved from
3.3m in GW11 to 300k this GW (will be lower after tonight’s game). Not changing it. Not even selling Salah and Son when they go as I won’t be able to afford them back given the value tied up in them.

Prefer 5 mids and Archer on bench

For more variety, I hope they'll be threatened by Toney, Nkunku and maybe Jesus, or one Newcastle striker if the other is out for months... But that remains to be seen

I think I'll have these three from GW20, yeah

I am keeping my midfield five from above but would love that front line. Currently on Archer Watkins and Solanke with money in the bank to upgrade one of the latter two to Haaland. Original plan was Solanke but now not so sure and may go Watkins. Probably got a game or two to decide.

Alverez > Bowen via two GWs?

Ahead of Alvarez for me here, easily

Even if it comes back to bite you somehow, Alvarez hasn't been doing a lot of punishing recently

Can't bench Bowen away. Gordon for me Maybe.

Alverez probably

Alvarez - shocking PL form

After 20

People keep asking this. Just read the rules (Chips) section under the Help tab on the official site for cutoff dates and times local to your timezone.

With that back line your defender needs to be playing every week, steady type

Gomez - short term while Robbo and Tsimi out could be ok

Ben Davies - vdv is close I think

Gusto maybe, although Disasi rotation

I'd look at ethan pinnock, decent next few

It's a tricky price point. Gomez should be safe shortish term. You may not want double Villa but Konsa could be a shout too. Possible to downgrade elsewhere to get the Porro money? I appreciate it leaves things suboptimal this week though.

Thanks fellas. Much appreciate your knowledge.
Think it’s going to be Gomez for now. Will have more money when I bring in Bowen for Son gw20.

I like it. Refreshing. I'd skip Son and just go Richarlison from 20

CP only one CS since GW8. Avoid both.

Could be either. Last we heard from Moyes re Johnstone was “I’m certain he’ll be working between this (Brighton) game and the Chelsea game to try to get back on the field and compete and try and get his place back in the team”.

Life is like a box of chocolates.

No

I do not think so. Sorry!

I'll give his Dad a call and find out if he's making the transfer.

Probably not mate. Haaland isn't a Boxer.

I think C.

B for me

C will get the most points, but A if you need the money

Gab

Whomever you think is most likely to keep a cs. Maybe Petrovic to spread the risk

I agree but the fact is the free transfer from Tsimikas to TAA earlier this week has immediately improved my points tally. Will probably get rid GW25 if I get back Salah following AFCON.

If you think this then trust your gut and don't buy him, that'll be your edge over others. I'm not comfortable going without him much longer with the way he's spraying the ball around. Haul potential every match

salah 100%

Solanke C 🙂

konsa probably

Gabs probably

Merry Christmas! Yeah TAA for sure. Not sure it's fun but Solanke's hot. Newcastle are gassed but could also batter Forest at home, but if you do move Gordon then Tavernier's not a bad Solanke alternative.

Yes please
