    Flekken Fabianski
    TAA Gabriel Robinson Munoz Faes
    Salah Gordon Palmer Enzo Rogers
    Isak Jackson Pedro

    2 FTs 1.3 ITB. My current OR is 1.6m. Knees are jerking...How do I close the gap? Some options
    A) Fab > Pickford
    B) Enzo > Sarr / ?
    C) Jackson + Enzo > Raul + Mbuemo (but this doesn't seem like a good entry point for Mbuemo)
    D) Roll??
    What do I do?

      For a start, you've no Forest defence, that would be my priority, albeit it can wait a week given the next fixture.

      Trent is being matched by defenders >2m less so I'd consider losing him to free up some cash. You can always get Konate later for the double.

      If Pedro is injured, perhaps get Mateta as a replacement if that's doable, then get Wood and a Forest defender the following week. The Mbeumo move can probably wait a few GWs as you've stated.

        Thanks for the detailed response. Yes TAA has now become a worry, need to consider what to do there too. Too much Chelsea is another problem :/

    We have almost identical teams (I have Raya not Flekken). FWIW I did Jackson > Wood, Enzo > Mbeumo (entry point be damned) and really liking my team on paper now (which for me is good because whatever happens I'm no longer wasting hours thinking about it!)

      Thanks for this, that’s what I’m thinking too. At least it’s out of the way and I don’t have to think about this any longer. Maybe I’ll wait for Pedro news now but I think I can bench him anyway

    So many FA Cup press conferences; so much injury news flying about. It's difficult to make sure you aren't missing anything. We need the scout to be all over it.

    If J Pedro was to stay out, which of these would you pick:

    A - Gordon + Cunha
    B - Gordon + Raul
    C - Mbeumo + Raul
    D - your suggestion

          Because of Wolves' position in the league, they're going to need to "come out and play'. Cunha has proven to be fixture proof in the past, remember the hat-trick away to Chelsea last season?

      I think Cunha can wait a few weeks. Mbeumo/Gordon is really close - obviously happy I chose Mbeumo last week & fully expect him to return v City, but honestly I'm a little scared of not owning Gordon v Wolves so at this stage I'd probably get him in first

        I realised Mbeumo is fantasy gold really (90min, pens, involvement)

        Watching Gordon vs Spurs however, he could easily have had 2G1A, so an explosion is imminent, and it could well be vs Wolves.

        it is very very close. If Gordon was my choice, it's gonna be Raul / Cunha / J Pedro if fit. If Mbeumo, then it's Raul / J Pedro

        Thanks for your input.

    Seen a few around here looking at BB22 & I'm considering it too. Had a tinker with WC last week & this but I think I can turn out a decent BB without it - what do you think?

    Currently:
    Sanchez Virginia*
    TAA Gabriel Timber Milenkovic VDB*
    Salah Palmer Mbeumo Sarr Amad
    Isak Gakpo Jesus

    If I roll this week, I can do Jesus, Virginia, VDB ➡ Wood, Vlachodimos, Murillo (or Raul, Sels, Aina). Basically looking to triple up on Forest for the Southampton game.

    If I were to WC21/BB22 I'd probably go for:

    Pickford Sels
    Gabriel Milenkovic Muñoz Robinson Hall
    Salah Palmer Mbeumo Gordon Wilson
    Isak Gakpo Wood

    But I think the WC might be more valuable around GW30, especially if City recover then I might want Haaland & a thinner bench. Currently thinking of TC33 / AM34-6. Not really keen on saving WC so late as to setup BB35 (or 36? Whenever that big DGW is)

      Isak was and still is a must. Keep an eye out on the hamstring issue vs Arsenal.

      If he is fit i would take him over either of those 2 in a flash (not many more favorable fixtures than vs Wolves)

      If not fit, Jesus vs leaking Spurs could get really nasty.

      My dilemma as well.
      Gordon could have had 2G1A vs Spurs easily, and vs Wolves, could be scary not owning him.

      Bruno is a long term pick, on pens and guaranteed fixture in BGW29 (potentially saves a FT down the line)

          Well, I don't think Man City will keep a clean sheet this weekend against a fairly potent Brentford attack that excels at home. Hall, on the other hand, has both attacking threat and a decent chance of a clean sheet.

          The most likely threat Gvardiol provides is scoring a headed goal from a set piece or corner. Brentford are middling for stats on this front - 8th worst for chances conceded from set pieces and 7th worst for headed chances conceded.

          I would expect 2 points from Gvardiol and 5-9 from Hall. This doesn't align with this site's projection though, so what do I know?

          My hot suggestion is to go for Munoz at Palace. Leicester are the worst for headed chances and set piece chances conceded. They're also weak down the flanks and are conceding chances at a ludicrous rate. Sarr and Eze will have a field day, and I wouldn't be surprised if Munoz got in on the act too, along with a potential clean sheet, for a differential pick.

      Think I'd be inclined to give Sarr another 2-3 before moving to Mbeumo, although that's a fine move if you want to do it now. Maybe Colwill - Forest defender next GW since Bournemouth are strikerless. How you feeling about Jackson? Maybe Colwill & Jackson - Aina & Gakpo next week?

      If so yes
      I'm also doing it after FA Cup games
      Diaz is prone to rotation & rarely plays 90 mins
      Mbeumo although difficult fixtures can score v anyone

        You knew Diaz was a roatation risk when you bought him. Why would you sell before Brentford, Ipswich and DGW

    With Dubravka due to leave Newcastle for Saudi before game week 21 and Pope not due back til Bournemouth, which below 4.5 keeper are people considering?
    Henderson [Crystal Palace] > Verbruggen [Brighton] > Fabianski [Due back after concussion protocol]??

    Avoid due to Tough/Challenging fixtures coming up are Jose Sa [Wolves], Flekken [BRE], Muric [IPS] and Forester/New keeper [Spurs]. All likely guaranted to concede in the next 4-5 games.
