    At 22.5% Kinsky is the 2nd most owned goalkeeper in the game.
    Thats despite playing for Spurs who barely avoided relegation last year.

      Not just content creators - loads of people build their teams based on transfers in/ownership and what they read on here. It often throws up some weird template players, especially early on.

      It wouldn't be a total surprise to see them getting solid at the back with their recruitments. Quality players in Central def and midfield. That said, I don't have any of them, but I still think there is potential. Might take some time though!

    I will go with this WC team and then BB 5.

    Sels - Trafford
    Calafiori - Konsa - Dedic - Rodon - Egan
    Palmer - Cherki - Foden - Szoboszlai - Tzolis
    Haaland - Pedro - Wissa

    0.5 m in the bank.

    GW 4 - Foden ➡ Rogers
    GW 5 - Rogers + Egan ➡ Ndiaye + Munoz (at Forest)

    Then BB 5 with a great team fixtures wise.

    Sure it uses up 3 FTs after WC but helps maximise the upside potential.

    Or rather go boring with Gvardiol + Ndiaye over Foden + Egan from the off and forget about Rogers?

    Maximise haul potential or play safe and save FTs?

    Thoughts? 🙂

      Dedic obviously looks very good but just a warning - he's played 270mins+ in a week and Livramento is back next week. I'm not suggesting he'll be dropped but wouldn't be surprised to see an early sub

          Even then the risk is there. Livramento is too good to sit on the bench all season. Perhaps Tino will get the tougher games, being more solid. Impossible to say at this point but either way I wouldn't expect him to start week in week out

    Is there a world where I don't buy Haaland this week?

    I like Isak's next two fixtures. Maybe it would be enough to do Mbeumo > Cherki?

    Kinsky
    Calafiori O'Reilly Maguire
    Fernandes Mbeumo Szoboszlai Tzolis Semenyo
    Isak Wissa
    (Rushworth Pedro Colwill Van Ewijk)

    Would be kind of crazy to have triple City no Haaland but it is a possible line. Fernandes > Palmer in 4.

        2. It's a pretty easy Bruno + Isak > Haaland + Slater if I want him in.

        That leaves money ITB for Semenyo > Palmer in GW4.

        The plan is solid but I just want to explore other possible alternatives. If Haaland does somehow go quiet in 3 and 4 this line with Isak could be really good.

      When the likes of Wissa, Gonzalo and Thiago are good and scoring, then there’s no need to have him at that price considering Haaland and Pedro as locks. No pens as well. 9m is a steep price to pay taking all those factors into account.

    De Cuyper looks good, but even if I or most people got him in, its hard to play him unless you have some cheap aspect to your defence you don't mind rotating. Or a cheap mid that you can swap formations with. My team for example - there's not going to be many weeks where I will bench Calafiori, Tark, or O'reilly to play him. With that in mind, maybe I just ignore him.
