Good shout, havnt heard anything on their midfield injuries yet

I'm happily playing Rodon v a strikerless Newcastle

If you told me Jacob Murphy was getting two lots of 75 mins I'd be interested.

Love you Elanga time

Can you do Richy to Haaland?

i say the same get rid of UTD and get haaland.
uts just got beaten by grimsby, burnley kept 29 clean sheets in 45 games last season. theyre not going to be southampton like whipping boys

Looks good mate, could potentially consider Livramento?

Really don't fancy any cleanies wi all that hedging!

Its makes Salah the most nailed attacker but also reduces his goal share even more

It will be a nightmare except for Salah.
Even Gakpo would become a risk if Ekitike can play left and Isak up top.
Or Ekitike in the 10 behind Isak to rest Wirtz.
What a pain Isak is.

this is putting me off getting gakpo this week... arsenal then isak signs

Liverpool have the best attack in the league. Having their players for 70 mins is like 90 mins of other teams anyway.

I like the potential upside of Gakpo in GW4, would go B

Wouldn't be looking to sell JP or Rogers. Why is Kudus so popular. I bet he scores 3 goals this season!

B

yeah as good as any. youre avoiding the saka palmer saga so could get a boost

I'm not having a Burnley cleanie at OT but other than that, yeah I'd probably pop that.

Done a similar move myself, although depends on team. Potentially Wood or Semenyo could also be options?

Not loving it.

Yep I like it, covers both Salah and Haaland and lets you be a bit more risky with the other picks in the team.

Had the same dilemma and went Damsgaard over N’Doye but was very close

Yep I would free-hit, in my mind when you have 4 headaches in your time it gets to FH territory. Id like to think Palmer is rested this week and over IB and is raring to go after the break, also considering his only game played is a 0-0 vs Palace yet (will want to get off the mark in the PL). Ait Nouri benefits from IB also. Wirtz potentially one to shift eventually.

Ait-Nouri has been called up for Algeria’s September qualifiers. Maybe he’s fit

I would FH, just no enough info this gw with transfers and all as you say.
I have Gordon, Palmer RAN and Saka so Ill do FH then WC

I wouldn't do it.
There'll be better opportunities later.
Fulham are decent and won't get turned over
West Ham will surprise Forest
Man Utd will win, but not by more than one goal.
Newcastle are decimated currently

Sarr just played 90 this morning and travelled I believe, so if I had to pick I would bench. People thinking Rogers although against tired legs and hes always a 90 min man. Wirtz I don't know enough about Liverpool but may not get a full 90 if he doesn't play up to scratch, esp against Arsenal. My ranking would be below:

Play
JP
Kudus
Rogers
Wirtz
Sarr
Bench

Probably Wirtz. Possibility he doesn't start? Szoboszlai could start in the 10 if Bradley starts.

Kudus doesn't seem likely to score ever, it's unusual how popular he his. Sure he'll get you the odd assist. Wirtz time to shine, head says bench Wirtz heart says bench Kudus.

I can't take seriously any manager who has so big mental issues that he can't even try to do well in the game, but has instead decided to give himself an excuse to fail. Also, the picks seem to be at least partially "for fun" and excitement whilst watching games on telly.

Just superb content these days especially from such a prolific poster with finger on the pulse......something Khashoggi is lacking these days.

I would have doubts about his motivation if he stayed. He just might play badly, not train properly and affect team mentality. I believe him to be "eased" in and Ekitike getting start or two before Isak becomes a starter. No point to hope anything, there is nothing we can do and chaos is a ladder. Isak to Liv will prolly cause problems to Ekitike and Gakpo owners, so people have different hopes.

I read about it here. It's nothing to worry about, but possibly reason not to use FH.

Bonesaw Game Week 17?

I think it's good having an alternative approach from the cookie cutter.

Play RAN

Yeah you have enough cover for sure.

I have my eye on Ndoye

Sarr if you aren't keen on Mateta - with them in Europe I probably wouldnt double up on them.

It does not fulfill your requirement at 6.5 dead, but Smith Rowe is firmly on my radar for a Fulham side that are not to be underestimated this season.

But then Newcastle have signed someone, unless they go for 2

This transfer window just keeps on giving drama

Tottenham will lose again, it's scripted dude.

After starting with Ekitike Gakpo Wirtz, I'm quite satisfied to have Ekitike and Gakpo in there for now. Strand Larsen and Wissa, Wissa we knew wasn't playing. It's gone really quiet on Strand Larsen and Newcastle now have that 6ft 6" beast, I'm taking that to mean Strand Larsen stays put now.

No one right now. Sarr won't be playing ten, but I'm sure you knew that right.

Brennan Johnson

You nailed it with Liv.
Don't even pull your own finger nails out with sceptic Pep.

Matheus Nunes not popular.. At the minute.

I don't know, but he had surprisingly lot minutes last season and had only one short cameo when I owned him. However, I didn't follow him closely after that.

Probably just Palmer to Sarr?

Palmer to Ndoye. IMO you need some Forest coverage for the West Ham calamity that will be visiting this weekend.

Az is MGW (C)

I have used my FH so as to gather more information and use the IB to while we wait for the transfer window to close.

I don't think that team needs a FH. I would sell Palmer and spread the funds given you already have Salah and Haaland. I like Sarr and Pedro or Sarr and Wood.

Kudus for me (and I have both)

Wood.

Do any of these create double ups?

A - xMins reduction with Isak?
B - Love him. No issues.
C - Simons in the picture, I still think Kudus role is pretty safe but can not be as sure as I was before this.
D - How does Euro effect them, and rotation? I like him more than Mateta given he is cheaper and less of a rotation risk in the mid term but given this is short term, he's probably safe.

Why 5?

Why not 4, or 6?

bounce back and stick to the plan
