• Another disappointing week for my team, with Harry Kane failing to deliver. It could have been a different story, though, had he converted his penalty.
• I don’t expect to make too many changes this week. My main priority is selling Phillip Tietz, who faces Bayern Munich, and using some of the funds to strengthen my defence.
• I’ll likely stick with Kane and Michael Olise for my attacking star selections. In defence, Laurin Curda remains an option, although I could give the star to a new signing instead. Jordy Makengo is one player I’m considering bringing in.

• Goalkeepers: Loris Karius and Nahuel Noll.
• I never expected to say this, but bringing in Paderborn goalkeeper Nahuel Noll has been one of my better moves this season. His 237-point haul was particularly impressive. Although this week’s fixtures look difficult on paper, Schalke and Paderborn remain solid defensively. I won’t be making any changes to my goalkeepers.
• Defenders: Willi Orbán, Jordy Makengo, Tjark Scheller and Koki Machida.
• Some sort of injury curse seems to be following my team around. After Calvin Brackelmann suffered an injury in the 12th minute of Matchday 7, his replacement, Mitchell Weiser, lasted just 15 minutes last weekend.
• Hopefully, Jordy Makengo, who replaces Weiser, can make it through the full 90 minutes this weekend. Koki Machida is another new addition ahead of a meeting with Schalke, who have the Bundesliga’s weakest attack. Selling Jahmai Simpson-Pusey for Machida also frees up funds to strengthen my attack.
• Midfielders: Michael Olise, Fabian Rieder, Lukas Petkov, Farès Chaïbi, Alexander Prass and Mattes Hansen.
• I’m considering switching to a 3-5-2 formation this week. With Saïd El Mala set to leave my team, I’ll need to bring in two midfielders.
• Alexander Prass has returned from suspension and faces a Schalke side who are happy to let opponents dominate possession. That should boost his already impressive baseline numbers.
• I’m also seriously considering Farès Chaïbi alongside Prass. Chaïbi was unlucky to have a goal disallowed last weekend but still came close to 200 points without an attacking return. I also like his teammate Can Uzun this week, although I don’t think I can afford him.
• Forwards: Niklas Füllkrug, Phillip Tietz and Marco Grüll.
• Ideally, I’d have liked to keep Younes Ebnoutalib, but doubts over his starting prospects mean I’ll probably sell him.
• I’ve planned to bring in Niklas Füllkrug for several weeks, and it might finally happen now. His performances have seriously hurt my ranking, and few other forwards appeal this week. I’m running out of excuses not to buy him.
• If Serhou Guirassy misses out, I could consider Fábio Silva instead of Chaïbi. That would allow me to stick with a 3-4-3 formation.

• I’ve decided to take an aggressive approach this week after two mediocre Matchdays. With the international break bringing unlimited free transfers, it feels like a good opportunity to make some changes.
• I’ve gone for three Bayern Munich players, bringing in Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies. Davies will also receive my defender star.
• To fund those moves, I’ve sold Antonio Nusa, who picked up a slight knock against Manchester City in midweek.
• My forward star will go to Marco Grüll, who has maintained a consistent points floor throughout the season.

@KarbownikFF

• My first move this week will be selling Willi Orbán for Nico Schlotterbeck. Although Orbán has performed consistently and has a favourable fixture this week, Schlotterbeck’s upside is too good to ignore.
• I’m also planning to sell Shafiq Nandja, Kacper Potulski, Saïd El Mala and Fabian Rieder. Their replacements will be Mattes Hansen, Daiki Hashioka, Andrej Kramarić and Jordy Makengo.
• These moves largely come down to fixture difficulty and recent performances. Some of my current players haven’t delivered enough, while the new additions have more appealing fixtures.
• I’ll likely stick with a 3-4-3 formation this week. My star selections will go to Schlotterbeck in defence, Michael Olise in midfield and Antonio Nusa in attack.

• A few players blanked last week, leaving me with a small red arrow.
• With five free transfers available, I’m planning an aggressive approach this week. Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt players are my main targets, given their appealing fixtures.
• Anthony Caci and Phillip Tietz are the two players I’m planning to sell.
• I’m also keeping a close eye on Alphonso Davies and whether he starts. If he misses out, selling him could free up space to bring in some differentials.
