Sterling, IMO - just due to the imminent price rises, I dont see the same activity around Sane

Sané for this week.

Got subbed early last night. Not sure if it’s much to read into as Pep is unpredictable, however there is some logic behind it.

Two Robbo’s

I've already hit the wildcard button and it's very similar to what I'm considering. 12/15 are identical assuming you mean Richarlison in midfield.

Only differences are Hennessey, Digne & Success -> Steele, TAA & Jimenez.

Good luck with your decision.

Not the worst week to do it - should have been an easy CS, and there wasn't many other clear cut captaincy options.

You weren't the only one, felt good going into it, he was capable of getting a good score. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Not concerned about keeping Doherty, but I won't captain him again for the time being.

I know that feel buddy. Kun 2 point felt even better on day 1

Why would you want to get rid of Siggy for Mane ? I would do just Salah and Kun to Kane and Sterling. Siggy is looking like an excellent differential

XD

i know right..

a laporte attacking return and an aguero away goal

Think you’ve got the rightness idea.

I believe you dont set and forget by thinking of changing a player. So its set and forget unless... If Wolves didnt concede vs HUD would you think of changing Patricio? Probably not. So clear the table, think about fixtures to come and i m sure you ll know what to do. Generally i disagree with the set and forget strategy. But if you are following it results shouldnt make you change it.

Last week I weighed up two options:
1. Mendy and Bennett to Laporte and Doherty
2. Patricio and Mendy to Doherty and Fabianski/4.5 goalie.

I went for option 1 because i wasn't keen on any other keeper, and before the gameweeks even started I regretted it. Bennett is great 4.0 bench fodder and Doherty is decent starter or sub. But now I have a double up most weeks. If I still had the transfers have moved Patricio on. He's not a terrible option though, for his price.

the upcoming fixtures arent that bad

cardiff next, followed by chelsea who have scored 2 in the last 3 in all competitions, and then newcastle

i say go from there after these 3 games

I honestly don't think Liverpool " Coverage " is necessary. I believe Sane would score more than Mane so why not do that move ?

Hold
I'd keep ings 1st sub if fit facing united defense

I probably would for 2FTs.

For free yes.
I’d probably just forget Mane and get Sane

Only salah to sterling
And roll other ft over next gw.

Did you misspell Sane? 😉

Save and play wilson/billing over richa !!

Not really.

desperation to get city mid

Knee-jerks for life

I do agree it’s a huge over reaction over blanking in one game. It’s quite alarming really. Especially with such a good fixture up next.

mooy next?

it makes no sense, because if you brought it him it would be better to hold for the good fixtures

although seems his price is set to rise again?

This site seems particularly knee jerkey this week. Can't wait for the reaction once Salah has a big week

GW17

I am asking myself similiar question

Patricio
Digne Dunk Robertson Pereira
Maddison Hazard Salah Richarlison
Arnie Aguero

Subs: Fabianski Hojberg Awb Success

2.2mln itb 1ft

How would you WC your team?

How many changes you'd like to do after you've used those 2 FT's?

If i still had the WC, I d wait until December games, there will probably be a GW when half your team will have injuries or uncertainty to start. Now no need to, Yedlin has 5 pretty good fixtures to cover one miss.

Gw 15 bud.

If you are planning wc next gw and hazard is fit I'd take some risk and go big on city like
Salah+madds >> sterling+sane
Could pay off imo.

Sane more explosive and capable of bigger hauls, but more susceptible to rotation .

Dilva more nailed and reliable as KDB is out, but much lower ceiling at about 8 or 9 points.

For me, Sane.

Sane is more explosive and a captain option

Sane
Higher points ceiling.
Dilva fades off in 2nd half imo.

Depends what else you want to do - Sané likely to score more points but seems to be the first sub when things don’t go to plan. D Silva steady supply of points but rarely double figures, cheaper and can allow for other moves.

Neither. Keep Mane until KdB is healthy.

I asked same question yesterday.
TM said they will announce later in the week !!

I got spanked harder than a turkey owned by Patrice Evra.

Looks like you've got it all figured out, mate. go for it

You could save

I wouldn’t over think the cash in the bank issue short term. I’ve got 3.3m in the bank I’ve had waiting for Kane. I may bring him in or I may give Firmino one last stab, either way I’m not worried about having cash in the bank.

I’d keep the FT and rollover and then you can use 2 FT’s and the cash to make a more significant change.

Maddy to Richa/Fanderson

nah, take the points and run... 😉

Agreed but the case for Kane is too compelling right now
Form, fixtures, nailed, Eriksen & Alli are back

He is capable of scoring on the road and it's only a matter of time until he does for the premier league.

It doesn't. It's pure chance like so many scenarios on here. But why get in the way of a good theory so the oh so wise sages can rub their beards...

Bench 3*

Benn, Duffy, kayal

Do you not already take that in to account?

It's a variable to consider when looking at stats over any time period. IMO, 13 games is not to small of a sample size.

Yeah for offside points

NO.

I like the fact he came off after 71 minutes and Sterling played the full 90.

Depends how good of a bench you have? If it’s a 4.5m midfielder coming off your bench for 2-3 points tops or a budget defender without a great fixture then I’d rather have Sane come on for a cameo as he’s proved he can get returns even with limited time off the bench.

Hey ARNDFF.
GW 15.

Free kicks or shots from outside the box aren’t really big chances now are they? A big chance is a goal that is expected to be scored

With great difficulty. There is a strong correlation between big chances created and goals scored.

Arsenal are a bit of an outlier though. They are the only team to have fewer big chances (22) than goals scored (28). This suggests they've been scoring technically difficult goals. I wonder if it's sustainable...

When someone scores without having a clear cut chance, like Trent at the weekend

Personally, I would. I smell a boring Mersyside derby.

did the same move with martial instead of fraser. I'd say go for it.
