Probably not if KDB is used as a guide

almost definitely

They play on Monday so I say yes, just don't C him if you're nervous about it and C KDB, he played plenty of mins to say hes really back now.

Was just about to ask the same.

Probably getting rid for Gordon.

Yeah Gordon looks a good buy this week.

Im exactly the same - got ahead of myself. I might keep him given the fixtures coming up however.

Thanks, not seen the games has Gross been playing deeper? Not sure what to do to be honest.

I reckon we hold with the fixtures, I sense some hauls incoming. Knowing palace they could easily blank next game

Gross will probably tick along so maybe worth giving him some time before ditching him. Gordon does look good for the fixtures, but both him and Olise (and Gross) will almost certainly blank in 29 so you might want to keep an eye on that if you don't plan to FH.

Thanks all.

In German, we say Großer fehler.

Probably A

Great team! Well balanced.

Have same 11 and Saka 🙂

Starting Saka ahead of Bowen though

Could work out. I'm tempted to save the ft and give alvarez one more gw.

I’m holding on to Alvarez for at least one more week before replacing him with Haaland. Although it’s tempting to make the switch now I would rather wait until after I’ve seen Haaland start and back to his previous form.

Alvarez has started every game this season ...

Not much I would’ve thought - most people have either sold him already or holding for his return - never know with the price change dynamics now though.

maybe one more, i wouldn't bet on it though.

*Toney felt like the one who would cause the least pain.

Eventful at Anfield...

Nunez is a live wire but Jota scores with 1 of 2 shots and Alvarez scores 2 out of 2.

Nunez has 11 with 4 on target!

Had a busy day yesterday and missed everything from after the first halves of the earlier KOs, had no idea Nunez missed a penalty or hit the woodwork that many times, that's crazy even for him

Terrible night: no-memory, pounding headache, empty wallet, grazes on my knees and pants on inside out.

Early on it was one every 3 mins or so!

do you think he's still on pens?

I wouldn’t take 11 shots at goal & not score tbh.

Not unless Trent becomes a mid full time which seems unlikely this season (maybe next year under Xabi?) Also takes away a more guaranteed for minutes Liverpool spot.

For others in that bracket, I was looking at this a couple of days ago trying to squeeze an extra 0.1 or 0.2 out of my squad. My findings were as follows:
van Hecke seems fairly nailed, but as we have just seen, Brighton do concede a lot;
Gusto as you have mentioned, but not 100% nailed and Chelsea pretty leaky too;
Trusty is a starter at least and so, probably is Baldock when he's back (and only 3.8), but they play for Sheff Utd;
Branthwaite seems sensible, nailed and Everton solid-ish;
Chris Richards at Palace has been playing, mainly OOP for the last few weeks, but I think he was only a stop-gap and Palace have just signed a new right back and a young DM from Blackburn so I'd think his days were numbered.

Van Hecke, but Bradley obviously has shown greater potential to haul when starting.

fpl fix

FFH at least predicted Haaland price increase - fplstatistics was way off so you're not missing anything.

Would expect Haaland to start above Alvarez soon with everyone fit.

Alvarez has started every game this season whilst either Haaland or KDB is injured. What happens when they are both fit and starting is uncertain

I just hang around here until someone tells me what to do, but looks about right.
If GW29 becomes a nothing week it might be a better play overall to just to get a crappy score that week like everyone else rather than waste a FH.

I think that’s what I’m going for, don’t need to FH in 25/26 & don’t want to use transfers preparing for 29, feels the easiest path for my team.

People will say there’s low upside in 29 but the upside comes from the weeks either side of it when you’re not wasting transfers on fillers for that one week.

Don't know what I'm doing but have seen this strategy put forward:

TC DGW25
Dead end BGW29
WC 30/31 Salah?
BDGW34 FH to avoid blanks and increase doublers
DGW37 BB

But I may BB soon instead as there's more depth without Salah & Son in the team now.

Both players changed price recently. Dare I say there is no rush now?

What if Alvarez starts next game and Haaland bench

Just eased back in after injury

He was injured fella. He'll be back next game more than likely from the start.

It's not recency bias saying this but Alvarez is the best third City option for me.

C?

It is not. Expected TBH. Being sold all week to get Haaland. He scored 2 goals after and price went down 6 hours after.

C is spicy!

I was tempted on WC but went Raya instead, still bought in Walker though

Don’t

Which one you thinking?

Champions League will also change the horizon in 2 weeks or so but that eases in.

Pep values Champions League/Premier League the most highly.

Plus the FA Cup so rotation will feature if they progress.

I bet we end up with double City because of it.

Pep hates it when his players don't have the "rhythm" of games, so Haaland will get solid game time ahead of CL.

Alvarez has an insane amount of minutes in his legs (enforced through injury) so is at the most risk of rotation IMO. Similar with Foden.

Or get Cunha?

Or Toney.

Or Adebayo.

So many options and the budget will become material again with Haaland and Salah/Son back in a few weeks.

FPL is back ...

£6.8m I think.

He’s not nailed he hasn’t started the last 5 UCL games. With KDB back there are many avenues for him to get rotated going forwards especially when other competitions become a factor

You’re right he only got 2 points against liverpool away he needs to go asap

Why would u seek such player? He is cheap and could be benched at worse

I might. I have 4 GW26 blankers so one needs to be sold and it's not impossible with the right transfers before that he becomes Jota or a City mid. He's still very cheap and I have Olise as a route back should Palmer be playing GW29 and Olise not

mmm steak

I need a hatty and three assists from Bowen so I am going to respectfully disagree, Sir.

i own solanke so i wouldnt mind a few points..

Looks like you're a hero, just for one day.

Good morning!

Alvarez cap here too.
