Goalkeepers

The injury to Marc Ter Stegen has provided budget goalkeeper Iñaki Peña (€4.5m) an opportunity to step up. A home fixture against Young Boys could be a perfect chance to collect a clean sheet on the first night.

If that isn’t the case, we could look to Marco Carnesecchi (€4.5m). He impressively kept a clean sheet against Arsenal in Atalanta’s opening fixture. While things haven’t started as well in 2024/25, the Italian side kept a commendable 15 league shut-outs last season.

    On wc, which one for the medium/long term?

    A. Solanke, Semenyo, Lewis & Davis (3rd & 4th defenders) + 0.7 itb
    B. Solanke, Semenyo, Gvardiol, Greaves, 0.0itb
    C. Delap, Jota, Gvardiol & Greaves + 0.1 itb

    I was really impressed with Delap yesterday, so slightly edging towards C at the moment

    Reposting here... Would you WC this team? 2FT, 0.4itb

    Original plan was to bring in Haaland with 2 FT (not keen on selling Salah + watkins), now thinking maybe to get Palmer instead

    What do you all think?

    Raya
    Gabriel TAA Gvardiol
    Salah Saka Rogers Eze ESR
    Watkins Jackson

    So my route to Palmer would be Isak to either Delap or Strand Larsen and Jota to Palmer for - 4. Would you do that? Secondly Delap or Strand Larsen?

        I'm not sure that the chasing points analogy applies to Palmer though. We aren't talking about a Dwight McNeill who has just scored a haul that he isn't likely to repeat very often if at all. More hauls are likely to come from Palmer. He is in the same category as Haaland and Salah. The fixture's aren't that difficult either. Forest, Newcastle and Utd aren't top tier teams.

          I do get your point but in many cases people are kneejerking Saka->Palmer for example.
          Saka plays Southampton.
          Palmer will play Forest who blanked Liverpool and are quite decent to defense.
          Is it really worth it?

          I agree. Getting in Palmer seems sensible as he’s a seasons keeper. I would need to WC to get him in so -4 doesn’t seem that bad. Would definitely be selling Isak.

      It's not about the knee-jerk for Palmer. His Xgi is up there with Haaland and Salah. Saka is not quite justifying the price tag at the moment. Chelsea are beginning to click as a team, so the uncertainty surrounding their assets and performance is also waning.

      Tough one. History and stats suggest McNeil doesn't score many, but maybe the new role changes that. ESR has goals but he's not a buy this week. I'll probably move off Semenyo for one of them in a couple weeks. Probably just about ESR, but if the savings helps do something else McNeil's perfectly fine to pick
