    Weighing up a wildcard to restructure my team and move onto Saka / Palmer.

    1FT

    Henderson
    Gvardiol Gabriel Robinson
    Rogers Mbuemo Salah Johnson
    Haaland Raul Solanke

    Fabs Myko Winks Faes

    A. WC
    B. Hold off, probably take a hit for Palmer

        In all honesty, you could hold off playing your WC. Take the hit for Palmer. WC's are meant for multiple changes.

      • kellamergh
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        A for me.
        Having both Haaland and Salah gives you an unbalanced team.

        There's a fair bit I'd change in that team.

      • Batman1983
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        A

        That looks a pretty poor and unbalanced squad to me

      • Gommy
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        I would go for the hit for Palmer over the WC if those are the choices.

        I disagree with the responses about the side being so unbalanced that it warrants a WC. It's not in fantastic shape but it's not a million miles off.

        It's also not explicitly down to the Haaland & Salah combo as I can fully prove myself. Most successful Teams have three Premiums.

        I'd be looking at downgrading Solanke & Gvardiol, with Johnson being the upgrade to Palmer.

        From next week, you may gradually look at getting rid of Raul/Robinson and from then onwards, a Keeper.

          I don't know what you have in the Bank but Solanke > J Pedro would go some way to start with.

        Winks, Johnson, Haaland to Palmer Saka Pedro ?

    2. ran
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      ESR and Haaland?
      or
      Palmer and Isak?

      Would really appreciate some thoughts here. 2FT, 0itb

      Flekken Muric
      RAN Keane Lewis Colwill Greaves
      Salah Palmer Mbeumo Rogers Semenyo
      Haaland Wood DCL

      A) DCL, Keane > Pedro, Mazraoui
      B) Haaland, Rogers > Isak, Fernandes
      C) Haaland, Rogers, Semenyo > Cunha, Fernandes, Saka (-4)
      D) Something else

      TAA Gabriel Lewis Ait-Nouri Greaves
      Palmer Mbueno Semenyo ESR Rogers
      Isak Watkins Solanke

      Already done Haaland > Isak and still have 4FT's. Struggling to decide who to take out for Salah and who to replace Solanke with

      Salah in for:
      A) ESR
      B) Rogers

      Solanke out for:
      1) Cunha
      2) Pedro

        Looks good - similar to my WC this week.
        You have Konate, Kerkez, Semenyo and Pedro

        I have Mazraoui, THB, Rogers and Wissa

        I think your team is higher value!

      Best 11m goalkeeper and defender combo

      1. Verbruggen and Gabriel/Gvardial

      2. Raya and Konate

      Everyone on Bluesky yet?

    9. McSlu

      On WC. Any recommended changes?

      Sanchez/Fab
      4.0, Hall, Mazraoui, murillo, RAN
      Palmer, salah, bruno, saka, 4.5
      Isak, Jackson, Cunha

      1. mcsteely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Looks great. Not sure on Mazaroui yet, and Murillo has tougher fixtures coming.

        I like the rest though. I'm also considering one of Mbuemo/Wissa, and Pedro in the forward line, and you might want at least one arsenal defender

      2. Haa-lala-land

        Jackson and RAN both one YC away from suspension.

      Solanke Son to Isak Bruno F?

      3. el polako

        Bruno is a trap, one penalty and home game against Leicester are skewing the picture.

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 4 Years
          2 months, 8 days ago

          I don't think Bruno's a trap. He's looking more and more like his old self

          1. el polako
            • 7 Years

            So a trap.

          Agree on 'Get rid of anything Spurs' (Porro/Solanke will be a joy to transfer out for me) - Isak 100%, Bruno not so sure.....'One Swallow doesn't make a Summer;.....

            Spurs are an abomination! Utd are the same. Just one more Spurs left in my team & he would be out in no time.

            Haaa! 500 days of Summer! A proper swallower you reckon?

        I am 0.1 short of getting this WC team.

        Who would you downgrade if you had to, and am I missing anyone?

        Raya | Fabianski

            Has Raya already fallen? I saw someone say on here last night that he was close to drop. Because if so...

                  I already had him at 5.5 so the drop won't impact me unfortunately

              Brighton's fixtures are good enough for long enough that you could double up on Pedro and Welbeck? Bonus that if one's mins are reduced, the other's's more likely to increase than decrease.

              1. Deulofail

                • 9 Years
                2 months, 8 days ago

                Calafiori when he’s back (Timber on the right). Before then, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly or Zinchenko. Zinchenko seems the least favoured but maybe that changes with the good fixture run. But then, Caliafiori hopefully ain’t far from a return

                1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  2 months, 8 days ago

                  Timber should move to Forest to join up with Wood.

                    • 6 Years
                    2 months, 7 days ago

                    Simpson-Pusey could fit in as well

              2. Hairy Potter
                • 9 Years
                2 months, 8 days ago

                Partey, unless otherwise detained?

                1. Deulofail
                  • 9 Years
                  2 months, 8 days ago

                  You could be right here, but Arsenal have missed him in the middle when he's played RB. That said, Arteta could persist with bedding Merino in while getting Rice and Partey on the pitch.

          • Free Hat
            • 5 Years
            2 months, 8 days ago

            Picking the 3 right forwards will be key the coming weeks.

            - Cunha pretty set and forget for me
            - Brighton attacker (only problem which one)

            - Isak / Jackson or Havertz
            Slight preference for Isak, but honestly think all are good options.

            Maybe they all score the same and everybody is happy (or miserable)!

            1. Zimo
              • 6 Years
              2 months, 8 days ago

              Isak Havertz Wissa for me.

            2. Zimo
              • 6 Years
              2 months, 8 days ago

              Is Cunha actually a good pick? His data isn't great. Seems to be scoring a few exceptional goals. Will it sustain longterm? I could go him over Wissa from next week.

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 7 Years
                2 months, 8 days ago

                A lot of Wolves' attacks go through Cunha

              2. Free Hat
                • 5 Years
                2 months, 8 days ago

                Maybe unsustainable, but 90min guaranteed, corners and poss pens. That combined with upcoming fixtures and schedule is golden imo.

                Love Wissa, but not going to double up with Mbeumo.

          • F4L
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 8 days ago

            which option do you think scores more until GW21 (medium to long term), through the congested fixture list?

            A - perma cap (S)alah, Foden, Havertz and Isak
            B - perma cap (H)aaland, Saka and an extra 9.2 ppgw (2 cheapies)

              I would go A , that said having a mare of a season.

                Probably A, though I could do without Foden

                A - but not 007, utterly useless for club and country.....

              Is it reliable? Don't know, but the game just ended and he wasn't in the squad.

                  Mate, read between the lines. The article states Cameroon have already qualified...and he's got an injury...do you see where I'm going with this?

                    • 11 Years
                    2 months, 8 days ago

                    Okay, so he needed a break and went to Cameroon for ~10 days?

                    1. Mother Farke
                        2 months, 8 days ago

                        Correct. There's also a possibility he's had Brentford in his ear asking him to pull out of playing a game that isn't necessary.

                          Cameo in in the second game or no show?

                              Considering they've already qualified, I doubt he'll feature altogether.

                                Any thoughts on the TAA injury?

                                    I think that one is a definite injury, as he was subbed off during a game. We'll likely hear more on that one before deadline.

                                    Yes, I would imagine it hurts

                        Lol…My bench is strong enough to withstand any mess. Mbeumo was on the bench even before this news so it just makes benching much easier

                      Becker has kept four CSs and Kelleher two and Liverpool's fixtures are quite good for the foreseeable future. City they play at Anfield and City are a mess at the moment and Newcastle are hardly in the form of their lives. The next tough game after those is City again away (GW26) and Spurs in London (GW17). Couple of questions:
                      1) Do we have any updates on Alisson and when he is expected back? Last I heard was "after the international break".
                      2) Liverpool defensive double up with a Liverpool defender and a Liverpool GK make sense?

                        1) Alisson is back doing gym work. I don't think he'll make Southampton and after the break games come thick and fast, so I think Kelleher is good for another 3 to 4 games IMO.
                        2) Possibly - though there are some good cheap options emerging as well now.

                          2 months, 8 days ago

                          Which cheap options? Sanchez is one and Brighton maybe but the rest have tough fixtures, unknown how they will set up (United) or just can't keep cleansheets.

                            Newcaslte, Man U, Brighton, loads of cheap options in defence. In addition to Ait, who everyone has already.

                        Not sure when he's due back, but I may be looking at him as an alternative to bringing in Raya when I get a chance to ship Flekken.

                          I have Raya now but I am 0.1 off doing Lavia to Palmer so I am thinking of shipping Raya to Becker/Kelleher and then Lavia to Palmer for this GW (2FTs)

                        I disagree

                        I think just Southampton and Everton, both away are easier fixtures...

                        Until boxing day.
