Transfer window still open

If Yoshida is your 5th defender then him and Heaton

I'd say no. Long-term Valdes might just outscore Heaton. As a Heaton owner, I might just swap to Valdes in 4 weeks...

In gw21 Valdes matched Heaton & scored 10 points. I'd keep him.

I have Grant and Heaton too, I feel Grant will do better than Heaton this time.

Just seen. Replying.

C. A solid 4th defender will be worth while in the long run.

Neither is worth a hit.

Save or get some Chelsea

B is just awful. Lallana is as consistent and 0.6m less

Dont see any reason for a hit... and even if it wasnt for a hit id say save. nice team

No handball next.

No offside - Could work but it would need to be trialled
Sin bin - I like the idea, better than the player being sent off ruining the match
No extra time - I like this as well, its a 90 minute game
Time limit on pens - Yep, its too long
4 quarters - Nah, I thought the point was to speed the game up not drag it out.

I did like the stop the clock every time the ball goes out of play/play is stopped rule. Stoppage time is never quite as long as the time wasting. But yeah no offsides is insane.

- No offsides is complete crap.
- Didn't read much about sin bins or orange cards, but no changes needed there.
- Potentially agree with no extra time, depending on fixture congestion? But then what, surely penalties are too erratic.
- Time limit? Do they all have to sprint from the half way line and kick then run back and tag the next player?
- I've seen a break in each half for some hotter climates, but in most cases this isn't needed or wanted.

Laughable how silly this would be. especially the first one. Would effectively erase this sports history as far as goalscoring records go, because how could you compare.

Think this stage of the season losing a few 0.1's less important, personally more willing to miss out on them and get info/ playing players

Save the FT and don't make any plans until the GW is over.

B looks pretty good to me.

Coutinho or Eriksen.

Id punt on Pedro

Eriksen will be well worth it. Form and fixtures.

Coutinho for me

I agree with all of you, that's the dilemma.

I wouldn't get rid of Pogba ahead of Stoke and Hull. But that's just me.

If TorresMagic posts after us peoples' heads might explode.

Probably Philips, but I wouldn't feel comfortable benching Rose. I'd have Brunt on the bench.

Wow, what a tough call. Defoe has the least impressive fixture, but his do you bench him?

Probably Jermaine

Sunderland has 6 goals scored when playing away this season, tied for the second worst team in the league.

I'd bench Defoe.

Stanislas is great value, get him in.

Hes a great option imo

Someone above talking about taking hit Stanislas>Pedro
Insanity

Would love to have Stanislas.

The end of my fires caused me nothing but trouble. Ended up getting Defoe out before his 3 goals and was stuck with 1 Origi assist, some blanks, and then Benteke blanks and price drops. The irony.

2

2 if everything is right with Costa

2

2 leave me with Kane-less and only Alli as spurs coverage despite of 3 players from chelsea.. is that okay?

no need
gtg

Gtg

if possible start both
and downgrade Stanislas after his easy fixtures are over and keep Phillips if you need money

Who's the third striker???

I have the same 'issue' of my attack
sanchez ali lallana Phillips (stanislas)
aguero lukaku ibra

my reasoning is that with the crazy next few gw's coming up with so many cup games etc, there could be some unexpected rotations so any decent bench players are welcome in my eyes.

B

either Giroud /lukaku if you can or go 3-5-2
no point keeping origi or getting Negredo

Giroud + Eriksen/Alli

Long term for me is A - Kane defo above Giroud and Defoe. I like Pedro, very underrated - Conte nearly always plays him ahead of Willian as he's better defensively. Antonio good shout too - had him for a while this season and he did well. Personally I'm still not convinced on Hazard as he's too hot and cold.

A but would be tempted by B if you could find the funds for it to be Lukaku and Coutinho.

Eriksen ahead for me to Defoe

Eriksen over Defoe

Thanks guys, yes I think I've come to the same conclusion.

Bench Defoe,play eriksen and hope brunt comes in for baines

Are there players that you just dont ever consider?
Now on here there are so many better players than me but I just dont get the Coutinio love?
Lallana same points per game and for me I just want Mane for LIV when hes back.

No real question just bored at work. Maybe i need to consider him? Barkley is another i just never never get

You could consider Bench Boost with your FT, and get an Amat replacement

De Roon 😎

If by enabler you mean to play him? No.
If by enabler you mean bench fodder? Still no, cheaper options.

C1 imo

C1

Giroud

Yes

Coleman. Koeman said Baines normally would be available this week. I don't know how that's not a clear indication he won't start

If you have a good 4th def,stick,if you can't afford to bench him,go coleman

Coleman looks the better bet nowadays anyhow.

I planned all last week to Coleman and got sucked in by the price rise and penalties

I've been keen to buy Baines all week & probably would have before his price rise but the doubt regarding Giroud stalled my Baines purchase.

Carroll to Kaku,sell hazard next week for eriksen and upgrade stanislas

Form with spurs,can't write off city though,maybe 2-1 to spurs

Spurs win but I don't expect many goals in it. 2-0 or 2-1 probably

A and Phillips.

A and Phillips.

A and phil

I have Kane and Eriksen and want Lukaku

yeah that's what i've got atm so the unanimous response is appreciated haha

yes

Not at this point. Wait until Cout actually shows better form. Lallana is still great value if he continues to get forward.

No. 0.6m cheaper and as consistent. Just as capable of big hauls and had blanked 8/16 games playing decent minutes. Coutinho has blanked 5/11

Lallana is as capable as Coutinho and I'd not chase Liverpool players with upcoming fixtures and no Mane

Next GW? There are so many matches to be be played between now and then. I can almost guarantee a new issue will arise.
