Do Darwin > Solanke straight away?
Don’t mind taking a hit either to start getting rid of deadwood like Diaby

  Feel like Darwin -> Solanke is a points-chasing transfer this week. The former is almost sure to start against Burnley, the latter has Fulham - who gave nothing away defensively and somehow ended up conceding 2 yesterday (meaning we're on course for a legendary Leno shot-stopping performance on Tuesday).
  
  I'd hold Darwin this week and move him on for Haaland (if fit) in GW20

    I think it's mad to hold Darwin over Solanke.
    
    It's not like Solanke can't score again just because he's done well recently.
    
    Anyhow, happy Christmas eve.

  It's the decision before deadline that's important. My take on benching Gabriel vs Liverpool away was that I was as sure as I could be that Liverpool scored. And Liverpool usually defend set pieces well.
  If he's like on four goals this season from det pieces its another debate, but it's his first goal in 18 matches.

    If he’s out for a bit that makes sense. Tricky to get back though if only out for 1 week. Plus it leaves quite a benching headache this week. Burn (NFO) and Archer (LUT) on the bench?

        If Haaland is confirmed fit I’m thinking Lascelles -> Mengi (3.9) just to bank a bit of cash. Botman/Schar almost back, Lascelles currently B2, a doubt himself and NEW fixtures about to turn.

Eze Really?

I played football for many years and we gave as good as we got. The single moment in my eyes is shirt pulling that has an infuriating affect on the player. Is it not time to hand over a yellow card; even for both parties. A total wind up and the shxthousing would stop very quickly.

        Yeah, that's what I'd suggest too. Baldock has a nice fixture this GW.
        
        Don't know about your midfield/attack, but 2 transfers will give you the flexibility to buy TAA by getting funds from somewhere else. He seems the outstanding candidate in defence

  Chelsea subbed him off at halftime in EFL cup, and played Gusto down the left due to his lacklustre performance. With Wolves not being a tall team, they might do that from the start today, so I'd find some potential other activity at lunchtime rather than the Wolves game just in case! Good Luck anyway. Hopefully you've been good this year and Santa will give you a present!

Raya; Gabriel, Porro, TAA
Salah, Son, Saka, Palmer
Alvarez, Wilson, Watkins
Subs Turner, Guehi, Tsimikas Garnacho
0.9itb 1FT used wildcard
Is this ok to rollover, or do any bench work in advance? Would like to sub out Tsimikas as have 0.4 profit locked up. If so which defender a cheap Gusto would more easily enable any Haaland return if seemed sensible when next wild card available. However rumours that Chilwell could be back in a few weeks, could mean Gusto permanently benched.

I'm happy with my team so possibly next to lose Son and/or Salah and bring maybe Arsenal/City/Brighton/West Ham in?

  GW20. Going to bring in Leno and maybe change Neto too, revamp my whole defence essentially, definitely move one of Salah and Son out (on paper I should do both but I can't say I dislike either team's fixture), move Saka to Odegaard and likely get an 8th attacker (very tempted by Toney as he's back GW21 but we'll see). Will cause headaches inevitably but I've had far too many availability issues in the last 10GWs or so, so I want a full playing squad

  Why does it seem like he's back for Everton?
  
  I suspect that's the prevailing view from people who want it to be true but the evidence so far is he's not fit to play.

    There were pictures of him kicking a ball that got deleted, doubt he’s doing ball work if he’s not good to go, I still doubt he was injured, just having a winter break & they’ve been easing him back in after some warm weather training, we’ll see.

      I think they deleted it because the next picture was him having to sit down having blasted that shot.
      
      They then put out a barefooted picture of him and his muscles and sinnew on his legs.

    I have never seen FPL so obsessed with one player before. I've gone without since gw8 and I'm 150k.
    And essentially people trading Salah, a fully fit one, against a Newcastle side who are dreadful away and have injuries from hell (actually Liverpool now also have some), for s player that's not matchfit. And I think we've now learned what SHU is under Wilder. Doesn't people watch footy?

    This is the sensible play.
    
    If he gets 20 mins off the bench at Everton and doesn't pull up then yes...
    
    It's the eye test ... or just hold Salah at home to Newcastle and make sure you have Trent in the meantime.

  Ignoring this week and getting back on WC20, gives a bit more time to see how things are with him. Starting to think that even if he's fit, he won't start v Everton, hasn't played for 3 weeks

Bit stuck, 2 FTs but just 0.2m itb.

Would you move on Walker, Pau, Turner or Alvarez?

Martinez
Trent Porro Senesi
Salah Son Saka Palmer Gross
Solanke Watkins

  Probably Pau but if you’re benching Alvarez, you might as well sell him.

    Yep, kind of saving Alvarez for Sheffield United at home ... especially if Haaland doesn't make it.
    
    Similar with Walker for upcoming fixtures. Don't think I've ever intentionally burned a transfer before.
    
    Hope you have a good festive time.

      You too mate.
      
      Im ready to sell Alvarez for Haaland but as you have seen in a comment above, I’m unsure if he’s starting or not this week.

        I don't think he is and he's got an ongoing issue.
        
        I'd also think Everton will be pretty strong on 27th so wouldn't be targeting that game anyhow.

    Yeah
    
    I'm thinking that way but Burnley and Sheffield United on the immediate horizon but both teams showing signs of life.
    
    It will be v. difficult to go on a run out of the bottom 3 though.
    
    Sending you unseasonably warm wishes for a great Christmas break.

Which 3rd striker spot should make way so I can bring back Haaland (assuming fit) ???

A) Alvarez* (CP:6.8 SP:6.6 PP:6.5)
B) Watkins (CP:8.8 SP:8.4 PP:8.0)
C) Solanke (CP:6.9 SP:6.8 PP:6.7)

*Got enough money in the bank if I sell Son > 4.2 fodder

I've had an absolute mental gameweek. No Villa assets. Resisted Haaland > Watkins. Own Solanke, Wood and Richalison. Areloa and Gabriel benched with Tsimikis first sub coming in for Willian. Porro (c). Decent green arrow but could have been so much better

  I guess so for the attacking potential.
  
  Just been looking at their fixtures which are so so.
  
  I'm thinking about Porro back to Gabriel now, it's all a much of a muchness!

    Other defs are Gabriel, Zinch, Branthwaite, Lascelles who may also be out.
    
    I could just go for Trent and deal with getting in Haaland when Salah goes to AFCON. Or roll and assess with 2FTs and more info

Morning All,

Early thoughts on the below team? 1FT, 0.0 itb

Petrovic
Saliba Trippier Porro
Son Saka Bowen Salah
Alvarez Solanke Watkins

subs: Areola Gabriel Adingra Lamptey*

Save is the right choice unless Haaland is back?

What are your plans on bringing Haaland now?

If Haaland was fit for SHU Original plan was a direct transfer from Solanke to Haaland. Which is unlikely now given Big Doms hot form

So Haaland probably has to wait till GW21 unless i want to lose one of Salah(NEW) or Son (BOU) in gw20

  I think am losing Salah in GW20 (vs NEW) to afford Haaland vs SHU.
  Let's see if he is fit or not.

        Agree. Newcastle look knackered. i can see Salah doing welll.
        
        Sheffeild change of fortunes under Wilder as well. Seems to have more motivation and fight now so could not necessarily be a mauling for city

  Will bring him in for Alvarez or Watkins and keep Solanke, the funds are there.
  
  It’ll most likely be for Alvarez and run with a Haaland, Watkins, Solanke front 3.

(Turner, Gordon, Tsimikas*, Lascelles*)

With 1.8 itb + 2FT thoughts on the following plan:

GW19: Tsimikas > Digne
GW20: Alvarez + Son > Haaland + Chuckwuemeka

    Unlucky.
    
    It's pretty impossible to predict bench boost in a single gw.
    
    The only hope is that a strong bench makes you focus on the strongest 11 but invariably you'll look at those who don't return that week.

Dubravka (Areola)
TAA, Trippier, Porro (Gabreil, Branthwaite)
Salah, Son, Saka, Palmer, Gordon
Watkins, Solanke (Archer)

2FT, 2.5m ITB

I'm preparing for last 16 ties in both the FFS open and members cup really in GW20, but what should I do this GW I don't see an obvious move. Is this a burn FT, or should I get a Villa or City defender in with GW20 in mind?

  Gabriel and Bowen, Brentford are poor defensively in my opinion and West Ham like playing against sides that keep the ball and push the side up high so they can counter. Archer isn't a bad shout this weekend either mind, but Luton are much improved, can see that being a tight game

    (If you really don't like playing two players against each other then I'd play Pinnock, but you saw yesterday that you can still pick up points from an attacker and defender facing each other with Gabriel and Salah)
