Nvm.

Ggs man

Can't be that much of a surprise considering it was widely reported Amad is probably out for the season

Very high

Almost 100% given the nature of sakas injury

Good replacement. There are no alternatives and he's our best player right now anyway

He should have been in the team way before the injury crisis. Every game he played he looked class. Its that very English thing of he's young therfore not ready. In Germany.or Spain he'd be a starter.

I'm expecting Saka back in 2 weeks. Man is fit as a fiddle.

People have just woken up to this news and it’s ruined their day.

I'm 50+ points down from doing Wood -> Gakpo early in the lead up to Gw 24 before doubles were announced. Blocked myself out of Slot and lost Wood's points

(Also had treble Everton so couldn't put AM on Moyes either 😆

Wood sitting on my bench eager to comen in if Gakpo remaines out:)

Not having this one bit. He said he was a doubt which he was. A doubt is never a good word so why some people took it as one I don't know. We can't complain about press conferences if we get told things and ignore it.

forget the offical updates, theyre all lies. anyone who actually watched that injury knew it was a right ankle sprain and he would miss out.calling it a "knock" was a joke. see below:

To.be fair Zirkzee and hoijland could be world class well never know until they leave that haunted club .

Nunez has shown he can create chances by himself, he's just a wild finisher and has quite poor decision-making.

Hojlund has the worst positioning I've ever seen from a striker and the touch of a trampoline. Why we keep treating him like a target man when every long ball is just an automatic turnover, I'll never know.

Zirkzee is actually brilliant on the ball, as we saw on Sunday, he's just so unbelievably slow. He looks like when you see ex-professionals playing at Soccer Aid or something.

Cunha

I’ve just done my transfers early. I missed the deadline last week - which turned out well for me so far) and I’m out out this Friday so thought I’d better be safe.

I did Gakpo to Cunha. Considered Marmoush and may well bring him in soon. Wolves fixtures are looking good though.

Also brought in Mbuemo for Gordon.

mateta

Villa defence is awful but the high line was more a feature of last season than this one. I think we looked better for it, I'm not quite sure what our approach to defending is supposed to be this season. Injuries have contributed for sure, but 3 clean sheets in 25 games is so bad...

So yeah - Diaz.

Villa and Liverpool have definitely had the highest defensive lines of the teams I’ve watched this year.

Liverpool have been unimpressive in their last two games. It will be an interesting game.

I couldn't do it myself but if you can plan for it, need to gamble, and think it could pay off....

Probably depends how tight you are for funds in WC30

Depends on Salah PP, but personally I don't think it's worth losing 0.6m for a one week punt, if e.g. you could get Savinho instead of Foden without losing so much TV

sunday morning after his brace i knee jerked him in, then before the deadline i transferred him out for a 4.4 non starter so i could do AM on slot. what a dummy.

How much are you offering?

Depends who makes the FA Cups semi but it's likely to include Gordon, Isak, Haaland, Aina, Wood, Rogers and 3 Bournemouth if their clubs make it that far, along with Salah, and Gabriel as SGWers. There won't be enough in the bank to keep Palmer, or Mbeumo and get that lot.

Lol

Latter

Need more info on your team and chip strategy

- Mateta blanks in 29
- Amad is likely out for the season

Depends on budget

I get Hall off the bench 🙁

Wooood

Gordon for me so only 2 points!

But template but fine

We don't have enough info imo

For example, West Ham are out of the FAC and need Brighton to progress to FAC SF for potential double in 33

Next week is probably the ideal entry point for Cunha but don't mind playing him against anyone

If you delay the Gakpo move, I would be more inclined to hold until after Southampton (H)

A. Cunha

Rogers

Rogers or Wood.
Tho I think I bench Palmer this week (see below)

Rogers and it's not that close

As a Villa fan, I love it. Not a good time to put all your eggs in Unai’s basket, though.

D) Play Struijk.
No, A with Huijsen for me.

Gakpo hasn't been ruled out of GW26, so we don't know yet. Slot said he's close, in the article above

I think Bednarek to Huijsen is a bigger priority that improves your squad. If Gakpo somehow still misses GW26, you'll have 7 attackers, while still having Gakpo vs Southampton before selling for the blank GW. I wouldn't want to play Bednarek or have him come off the bench at any point, so that's a massive upgrade to the Bournemouth BPS magnet

Wood is the red fixture

Villa away doesn’t scream haul from Palmer, I would just bench him if you really don’t want to pick between Wood and Mateta.

Can't bench Palmer.

Villa are worse than Newcastle and Fulham defensively. Palmer is still decent

Gakpo potentially back in 26 whereas Amad has been ruled out for the season

I'd have sold if Slot was more pessimistic about his return date, but this solves my bench headache anyway. And that's assuming he misses City, which we just don't know yet

I'm targeting that Southampton game too, yeah. Then it's Cunha, Marmoush or Haaland (if selling Palmer)

I can bench this week no problem, also can do 1 price change without losing any value!
He will be gone soon though! depends on switching the AM!

I've seen you post that before, yes. I shall recommend you to be one of the mods in here and get the "Mr" title.

By mess, I mean the army canteen. They're all having their lunch.
