Members can read on for our analysis below.
Lowton, I still believe in the Burnley wall.
Cheers. Should have added a caveat that I have Pope as well. Would you still go with the double-up?
I would not be that confident in the mortar and look at the Spam for that 4.5 spot instead.
Thanks. I'm sure I'll have other fires to fight come next week.

I can understand some worried about being priced out and pulling the trigger. But is Abraham that plays twice a week really better than Haller playing once a week? Surely Chelsea can't just phone it in and start Giroud in CL now.
youngsters like him can handle it
the more he plays, the better for his development
Scared not owning him actually. I'm beginning to soften on my Chelsk hating, and the one man team (Haz) parroting, Lamps out by Xmas froth etc.
The fact that's smacking me in the face is that Lamps is doing a Sterling job and the players look happy. And they look great attacking.
Abraham.
Why choose when you can have both?
2 FT's
Does this sound good for a -4?
Or would you do something else?
Kane/Robertson/KWP > Aguero/Digne/Lundstram
Pope
VVD - Robertson - Zinchenko - KWP
McGinn - Salah - Sterling - James
Kane - Pukki
Button - Rico - Hayden - Greenwood
You won't want to play Lund much over the short term as he has some bad fixtures, including Liverpool next week. Digne has City next week as well so not sure these moves will be worth it.
Hmm, yeah you're right. Just not sure how else to afford Aguero really. Only have 0.1 spare.
Can do Robertson/Kane > Pieters/Aguero for no hits.
My word, all this Sterling talk of him starting, not starting etc. I own him yes, and not just saying this because of bias or anything, but why on earth wouldn't he not start?
Yes, he's played a lot of mins, but he then is afforded 7 days off with rest, not like Pep is saving him for cup game, and he also desperately needs a win. Everything just points to him starting, i can't wrap my head around why he wouldn't.
They just lost to Norwich, he'll surely have to play.
Well yeah, it makes sense, plus i dount Pep changes whole formation just to afford Sterling a damn 10 day rest and needing a win, that'd just be ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure he will start, as you say he can rest for the C Cup, but I thought he looked jaded yesterday so I wasn't confident in captaining him so sold for Aguero and captaining him
Ooo bold move, but Aguero certainly primed for captaincy.
He did look a bit jaided, and i still may even go Salah yet for captain, got it wrong every gameweek so why stop now haha.
BuT hEs TiReD...
I agree :). Sterl, Aguero Bilva with KDB Dilva and Rodri for me
haha! TiReD indeed 🙂
Yep, that makes sense for the predicted line up
5 points behind Liverpool - enough said man
So hard making a wildcard team omitting one of Abraham, Aubameyang, Aguero or Pukki.
If Salah is your only premium mid then I don't think it's that hard.
You can have four strikers now?!
Aha my bad. Beginning to see (or not see!) things.
Lol let us in on how you have 4 strikers
Well you can narrow it down to the two big boys unless you want to cripple your team
True. Value in Abraham/Pukki is too good.
Im going Pukkiless
Yes yes I know.. Im insane
Keep Rashford this week or pull the trigger for Abraham?
im keeping but planning to bring in abraham next week
Hey guys, have 7.5m for Mount replacement. Who do you suggest? Considering Lamela but is he a good pick/nailed on for Spurs? Any other better picks?
Cheers
im keeping/benching mount as i expect him to be back soon but wait for pressers tomorrow
this
Not nailed. No real stand out either though.
Dilva, buendia, Fraser and Maddison are other options
just keep mount
Dendocker > Cantwell worth a FT? Would play instead of Montoya.
Rest of team?
Pope / Button
VVD Zinchenko Coleman Lundstram Montoya
Salah Sterling KDB James Dendocker
Wilson Pukki Greenwood
Usually yes.
Chances of martial and mount playing?
Any ideas on what to do here? Thinking of rolling ft if one of the above are likely to play.
Pope
TAA zinch digne Lowton
Salah KDB martial mount
Kun haller
Button lund dendonkey Greenwood
Martial very unlikely, mount 65% chance from what i've read about the place.
Cheers! Where did you hear about the martial update. I haven’t been able to find anything
I honestly couldn't tell you haha, i've been reading all morning
Just reading that Peter Beardsley has been banned for 8 months for using abusive language while coaching Newcastle's Under-23s. The world has become full of snowflakes...sad!
On another note for anybody that hasnt watched the On the ball interview (sponsored by Cadburys) with Roy Keane and Gary Neville, watch it! It compelling from start to finish... you can find the uncut version (2hrs+) on youtube.
I think you'll find it was abusive racist language
yes it was, meant to add that, but loads of ex pros such as Les Ferdinand and Andy Cole have come out in support of his character! The man is approaching 60, from a different era...harsh!
You don't get to a be a dick just because you're old.
You are kidding right? You think they are snowflakes and he has been harshly dealt with for racially bullying? Unbelievable
I do, just feel the whole PC has gotten out of hand so not really unbelievable! Something said in the heat of the moment on the training field should be dealt with internally. He needed to be educated and warned but 8 month ban is very harsh! So get real WR before jumping on the bandwagon 😉
i think he used the word "monkey" appreciate he is from a different era and Les and Cole have had experience with him... but in today's day in age its inexcusable - he should move with the times

You're either trolling, an idiot, racist or all 3.
I dont fall into any of your boxes so you're the troll I'm afraid mate. I am married in an interracial relationship for over a decade! So dont be such an idiot throwing that 'R' word around good chap!
Oh the old "I can't be racist, I know an ethnic". Ok sir.
Im not racist but kind of dislike Epicfailians, a strange breed indeed 😉
By the way. I'm not saying you 'are' racist. But I do think your post was at the very least distasteful. Some things just don't need to be said. Especially in public. Anyone can think what they want behind closed doors.
...fair enough but I dont feel there was anything anyway offensive in my post for you to react like you did.
That may be half the problem. Not much can be done about that.
Well you did come out, off your own back, in general support of someone who had been found, after due investigation, to have been racist and bullying towards children.
Just to wade in, from what I've read he used the term 'monkey' towards a black player, and made a reference to climbing trees. It wasn't apparently meant to be racist, but obviously it was felt to be so by the player.
I call my kids monkeys sometimes when they're messing about, and I wouldn't be surprised if I used it when I was coaching U7s football, towards players of any colour.
The FA are coming down on this sort of behaviour strongly, and understandably so, so while it may seem like a sledgehammer to crack a nut, these issues have to be dealt with in a uniform way so that all forms of racism, be they intentional or not, are removed from the sport.
Agreed, but I don't think Beardsley can hide behind that. It was definitely a racial thing.
There are 3 offences and this particular one can definitely not be argued... Copy and paste below@
Mr Beardsley made the comment “You should be used to that” to one or more black players of African origin at the U23 team-building event at Go Ape in October 2017. This was said to be an offensive and unacceptable comment and/or a negative racial stereotype that Black Africans would be used to and/or good at climbing trees and/or may amount to racial harassment
That’s an insane comment to make wow thanks for this
I do get that totally. I get all sorts of racist behaviour towards me where I live so dont get me wrong I can understand the players reaction....just think the world is gone a bit soft and the whole situation could have been handled better. Cheers and have a good GW mate!
you too EF!
'Gone soft'/'snowflake' is an excuse for blatant racism?
Goodbye

I’m freezing this comment for replies.
While you can have the opinion that there are ‘snowflakes’ around (people who are offended for no reason) calling people who recognize racism snowflakes is defending that racism.
I’ll take the sympathetic view that you either didn’t know the content of the comments or your snowflake opinion was separate, but even being from a different era doesn’t excuse racism.
Good to go? The defence rotates really well and is inexpensive.
Pope
Lascelles Sokratis Aurier Tomori Soyuncu
Mane Son Richarlison De Bruyne Hayden
Abraham Aubameyang Pukki
For me, I'd downgrade Richarlison and get one of the Liverpool lads in defence. Alisson due back imminently I think.
A. Dendo > Mount catch 0.2m price change
B. Greenwood > Tammy catch 0.1m price change
C. Hold ft, wait out the liverpool game and take the price rise/fall
Sterling, Haller -> Augero (C), Fraser/Lamela (-4)
Yay or Nay?
Nay. Too focused on just this gw
I am not doing it for free. But it's good to see Lamela given a shout.
Giving up on Haller as of yet has to be madness.
He's not so much given up on Haller as needing him to make room for Kun
Thanks guys. Does feel short term, though Sterling's form does seem to have dipped recently while Aguero seems to be primed for another big haul after not playing UCL. -4 definitely makes it less sensible though
I'm doing it for Fraser
-4?
Yep. Wasn't confident Capping Sterling after two blanks looking tired and the risk of rotation, although I do expect he will start. Very happy to capt Kun and hoping he more than covers the hit. If not it's still nice to have him back 🙂
Which striker are you losing for him? Haller also?
Yep
And yeah that's my thinking also. The replies are making me think twice though
Wolves not been looking great so far but not the easiest set of fixtures and pretty close to a few clean sheets on top of their first one.
Surely Boly must be value at 5m for the next 3 months or so, having someone to cover for the City and Arsenal fixtures?
curse of the Europa
They are beginning to look a jaded squad with a lack of ideas, I'd be worried as a Wolves fan atm but hopefully they have the quality to turn it around!
Adapting to EL life is harder than you would think on paper.
Auba or Mane??
Auba
Mane, better team.
What to do here? If Mount is only out 1 week, should I keep?
Pope
Robertson VVD Digne Lundstram
Salah Sterling KDB Mount
Barnes Pukki
Button KWP Dendoncker Greenwood
1 FT, 0.2 ITB
Thanks
Hold for now.
not worth changing KWP for someone playing in case Mount misses out?
Good point. I think even if KWP plays he's not likely to get more than a 1-2 pointer at best. I'd swap out Dendoncker for another -playing- 4.5 mid bench fodder. Donkey is about to drop in price and Wolves are in bits at the moment anyway. It's also a prime GW to ditch the Liverpool double-up in defence, Robbo falling fast.
Robertson/Kane > Pieters/Aguero
No hits. Sound good?
Only slight concern is I also have Pope in goal, so it's double Burnley defence.
Possibly look at other defender options to avoid the double up, but otherwise looks good!
No Salah, Mane, Bobby, Vardy, Auba, Kane, Abraham, Wilson, Haller, Son or KDB...
Should I be concerned?
How many pts do you have so far without that team and how does that team look like?
311
Ryan
Digne TAA VVD KWP Lundstram
Salah Sterling James{❗} Mount{❗} | Dendonkey
Wilson Pukki Greenwood
1FT, 1.6ITB
What would you do? Sell Greenwood or maybe even a LIV def? One thing is for sure, is to get Abraham or another MCI attacker.
Which upgrade is better?
A) VVD > TAA
B) Dendoncker > Cantwell
Heaton
***** Digne Soyuncu Lundstram Rico
Sterling Mane KDB Son *****
Abraham Pukki Greenwood
Probably B.
Chances of Rico to start against SOU?
Cheers. Helpful as always Torres.
GTG? Planning to save my FT!
Adrian
TAA Otamendi Digne
Salah Pepe DSilva Cantwell
Aguero(C) Haller Barnes
Button Rico Lundstram Guendouzi
Have 2FTs and no idea what to do with them. Any advice?
Pope/(4.0)
Salah/Sterling/KDB/Mount/McGinn
Wilson/Pukki/(4.5)
0.0 itb
Probably start working on getting that third mid price forward.
Those of you replacing Zinchenko with a 5m or below, potentially rotating with Soy/Lundstram, who are you going for?
My head is spinning.
Is TAA essential due to his chance creation?
Would be essential if getting clean sheets also.
Yes. Look at him as a Pool winger.
I’m a keeper. See him as a very involved winger, he’s not a real defender.
Would it be a good idea to lose one of Barnes/Haller to get Abraham next week?
Only if you can be guaranteed the goals to continue.
Serious short term thinking and sideways moves going on here with those selling Sterling to get Kun!
Haha couldn’t agree more
Somebody has to finish between 5m and 6m in the world rank, don’t make fun
G2G?
Pope
TAA, Lundstram, Digne
Salah, Sterling(c), KDB, Son, Cantwell
Pukki Barnes
Button, Hanley, Soy, Greenwood
I plan to shoehorn Tammy in for Barnes next week.
Ryan
TAA Matip Digne Zinchenko
Salah Sterling KDB Mount*
Abraham Pukki
Subs: Button Lundstram Greenwood Dendoncker
I have 1 ft and 0.0 itb, any suggestions please? Was going to save ft but not sure with Mount's injury now.
Lundstram can do a job.
Save FT.
Save. Would probably downgrade Matip though myself though.
Double though lol
Would you rather have Auba or Mane currently?
Auba
Auba if I don't full forward slots.
Mane
5 years, 3 days agoAssuming everyone escapes unscathed from the weekend's matches (big assumption I know), which move do you prefer for an extra bench/rotating player?
A) Greenwood > Ayew
B) Rico > Lowton/Mings/Guilbert/?
(exact money)
