              no right or wrong way. personally went ddg and hamer with an option to downgrade ddg after a look at a few games and if money suddenly needed. in a rotation id suggest home keeper usually best option

          Not agreeing with his logic of “that’s why we should get DDG” but nothing wrong with a 6.0 keeper. It’s his output for that price that matters. His price rose up to 5.9m last season and he finished 1st, so it’s a fair price.

      I have both. Was planing on Fab for this GW but their poor defensive display v Liverpool is giving me 2nd thoughts.

      Plus Burnley play Istanbul on the Thursday so gives an advantage to Watford in the early Sunday game.

    A reddit casual:

    I picked Phil Jones (best PPM on United) and Otamendi; neither of which played.

    I just replaced Jones with Eric Baily but now think I should take the hit and replace Otamendi with Mendy.

    Funny noob confession: in all of the research I did, I thought that “Mendy” was just a cute name fans had for Otamendi. Shame!

            Possibly. I went with him as I believe he will be 100% nailed and I was unsure if I could say that about Robertson. Instead of trading directly which would be very sideways I got Mendy due to the fixture and with the plan to upgrade Shaw after as he may not be nailed for much longer after this gw either.

      Looks strong, but lots of dependence on Man U def.. you can wait for one of them to get injured or lose their slot (Shaw for Young perhaps) and then correct. with a different team defender. You choose well, relax for a week.

          I'd go slow though, your 1.5 ITB is max flexibility combined with an unusually well performing team... you can move to Kane or Hazard so, so easily..(without a single hit, much less a WC) Not many will be able to do that.

          Take a look at Vestergard at 5.0, if Shaw loses his job or the first time ManU gets scored on twice in a row, though I must say Robertson is pleasant to own.

            i agree. maybe worse case scenario is 20 mins cameo v a tired defence. maybe even 2 up top. i think i will cap but if he doesnt start it might be wise to reinvest his cash in sterling/kdb as a slightly safer punt

    Can’t decide what to do with my midfield two. Surely I just hold? I went with them because I thought they were the better picks, Jota is still a decent pick? It’s only been one Gameweek.

            True true. Only thing swaying me is Cardiff need to do well in their home games, especially against teams like Newcastle. I can see that game being a 0-0 or a 1-0.

            Whereas Chelsea v Arsenal could easily blow out to over 3-4 goals.

    To anyone thinking of a transfer don’t unless a player is injured and definitely out and no bench to back up. Having 2 free transfers going into week 3 is great value. You will have second round of games to assess form over 2 games.

        Captaincy is not about potential, it’s about probability and likelihood.

        Defenders get those double digit scores but it’s harder to predict when they actually will as opposed to talismans of their teams like Salah, Kane, Aubameyang, etc.

        If you can predict them before a game rather than look at them in hindsight, fair play to you.

          I am not so sure about this.
          Especially when a dominate team is at home up against a weaker team and the weaker team just sits back.
          Whereas one particular attacker has to score/assist.
          The defender in the dominate team is more likely to get those 4 points on top of any goal or assist.
          Also the way the bonus point system is set up if a defender gets an assist he automatically gets high bonus.
          A weaker team that defends backs to the wall and fights for a 0-0 means all defenders are likely to get a bonus.
          in short I think it is just perception.
          I can remember captaining Dennis Irwin and Stuart Pearce back in the day!

          I think that is actually a perpetuation of the myth that you should not captain defenders.
          In the past there have been plenty of defenders who have scored big points where it could be predicted with some level of confidence.
          To say it cannot or should not be done is a bit odd to me.
