Why not, something I have taken a look at too. I think its a great shout especially on WC

He’s such an exciting player to watch. If you can live with the perpetual suspense around City players’ minutes, why not

One of those players where him starting is only half of the battle - he then has to score points. Which he usually doesn't. I'd look elsewhere.

Not for me. Haaland, Foden and defender for 3rd. Too many other good mids who are more likely to get game time and take pens etc

I wouldn't because I don't think he gets enough minutes and his output has been really sporadic. There are better punts imo.

I think "explosive down the flank" is a bit OTT. He only has 2 goals and 6 assists all season and 1 goal and 4 assists were in 1 game v Bournemouth so it's a really poor return for the rest of the season.

Thanks! All great and valid points, will assess the midweek games before I make such a differential bet

Son out this week? Hmm, don’t love it

Don't you want to try and make up the ground with your own judgement?

Wait until GW33 is ober & then copy CC drafts if you don't want to think for yourself

WC35 and BB37 most likely

Sounds good. Or, given that he could be benched both GWs (would you transfer Palmer and Son next week?) you could upgrade Zabarnyi to Munoz? (If that’s an upgrade). You’re frustratingly 0.1 from upgrading Areola to Henderson

Maybe

In isolation and not planning to BB in a double then it seems fine

I wouldn’t. From 35 onwards, you may want more Newcastle, Spurs, Chelsea, ManU

Spanky Solanke

What's your full team

It's not even close for me. Solanke.

Like you explained it's all about combos.

Mac10 + non Liverpool FWD vs Eze/Sarabia + Darwin....prefer the latter

Most likely, he’s playing as far forward as anyone else in the team.

Was he a forward when at Chelsea?

No, classification is based on team sheet info and not position on field...imo

Yeah I think they will. He's played at 9 since the turn of the year.

A

Would Hawng to Sarabia afford you Porro to VVD?

Tough as you're fairly set for 34. Maybe just upgrade Areola to Pickford, or if there's news that Hwang is unlikely to make 34, then move him onto Eze. Or if Ait Nouri is passed fit, then bring him in for Porro

Good team. Would second the Hwang > Sarabia move to fund Porro > VvD.

I think that team you're working towards:

Neto
Saliba Gabriel VvD
Salah Saka Sarabia Eze*
Haaland Darwin Solanke

Is going to be the most popular team in the top 100K.

What's the chip plan

Caicedo 30m, Rice the same.

37 will be a DGW also.

Another big double expected in 37. Likely announced in 1-2 weeks.

Need to use both transfers and prepare team after FH34. Bradley stands out with Trent close.

That looks like a good bench boost TBF. Man United vs Sheffield United is a great single fixture (though I wouldn’t be banking on a United clean sheet). If you went that route you have 33 and 34 ‘punts’ to play too. Good luck.

Don't mind it but it's a big assumption when Alisson is expected to take part team training this week.

Potentially could get lucky and score more than 16 points (4 * 2 app points * 2 games)

I personally think there are better BB options for 34. The cheap options from Chelsea, Brighton & United don’t look worth it except Palmer & Garnacho. Won’t be surprised to see SGW players outscore DGW players in GW37.

I don't think you'll make it without a hit on a keeper.

Which becomes a frustrating choice but Raya and Pickford look best placed to me.

Palmer's the only one with a chance of any points there, and even he'll be depending on a pen (Arsenal have conceded 2 all season)

The closer the WC the better the vision. Who knows until GW37 is upon us.

I think its good to wc 35. You can save your transfer the next round and go into the double with two transfers.

Do you prefer Eze + Cunha over Sarabia + Mateta?

Or lose Havertz for Gabriel and have Eze + Sarabia?

The main choice is probably Sarabia, Olise or Eze.

Then between Cunha and Mateta or Edouard

... he's still scored 7 despite missing chunks of game time.

Same as Mateta but he's well ahead in assists, which shows he's more of a team player perhaps?

Newcastle got a clean sheet on the weekend but how much of that was luck or skill I couldn’t say. Im tempted to go add a 3rd attacker (Gordon to join son & isak) that fixture in the hope both teams just go for it. 250k rank so in the mindset of taking on things like this just now.

Raining goals

Newcastle better at home but still not solid defensively.

Likely goals each way but might not be a goal fest.

2-1 Newcastle?

Looks good but if thinking BB then Gusto out might be a better move?

Chelsea have a good run but they can't keep a clean sheet for love nor money.

Avoid their keeper whatever you do.

Like it

Decent moves. I am leaning to have triple pool attack and double arse attack as something a bit different. Something to think about.

A

pretty close these 2, I went for Saliba

Saliba safe option. White probably has the higher ceiling from open play.

Porro to RAN if fit

No details on any chips you have left.

Just looking at 34, GK transfer and Porro.

N

I'm normally going to say no...

But other than gw34, 36 and 38 where so you see an Arsenal clean sheet in the final 7 games?

Then again 3 in 7 with double defence is decent enough.

Maybe an attacking return thrown in?

Not enough info here. Depends on the rest of your team. If no issues then yes it's worth considering

If your team is really good then yes but most likely no.

Yeah I'd do it
