Auba or Sterling Captain?
Thanks
Sterling
I always think captaincy is gut feeling. Have to trust your instinct and stick to it.
been burnt by Sterling for giving him the armband the last 2 GWs.
Auba
I've got every captaincy wing since GW1, sit around 3.7m so I've brought Auba in and put the armband on him. Got to try a different approach for me!
Guys, appreciate your opinions here. Which two of these four duffers for a draft league? Thank you...
a) Wesley
b) Gray
c) Ings
d) Ayew
A and C best 2 long term options
A
D
Thanks fellas
Between two options, which one would you choose? 2ft, 0.2itb
A) Zinchenko & Adams -> Rico & Abraham
B) Mount & Adams -> Cantwell & Abraham
Heaton
TAA Robbo Zinchenko Lundstram Digne
Sterling Salah KdB Mount
Pukki
Button Adams Greenwood Dendoncker
B
B
B
thanks fellas
B
A) Digne/Mane
B) AWB/Salah
A
Emerson should be given the all clear having trained yesterday so play:
A) Emerson (LIV)
B) Lundstram (eve)
Really?? is emerson finally back?
Was seen training with the first team, not guaranteed he plays but think Lampard switched to 352 cause he doesn't rate Alonso defensively.
B
Lund
Emerson for attacking threat
Gtg here? Bench order right?
Pope
Digne Trent Ota
Hayden KDB Mount Rich
Kun Vardy Auba
Button Cantwell Soy Lundy
gtg except from Mount if injured. Captain?
Stumped on what to do with this team, anyone want to help a fella out?
Pope Button
TAA Digne Zinchenko Mings Lundstram
Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
Haller Pukki Greenwood
2ft 0.3itb
Could swap Zinc to Otamendi in anticipation of Mendy starting in the future
Looks good.
Bottom of last page..
Do I really save the FT having the below team?
Pope (heaton)
AWB TAA lund (pieters kelly)
Sterling kdb mount* ceballos (cantwell)
Kun pukki haller
1ft, 2.0
I would save
Yep
Still think the Man Utd first team is better than people give it credit for. They could use a really mobile defensive midfielder, but it looks stronger than Chelsea and Arsenal and with no CL football could challenge Spurs.
De Gea
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McTominay ?????
James Pogba Martial
Rashford
Ideally they need to sign a DM in January.
The second team is more than good enough for the EL:
Romero
Dalot Jones Bailly Rojo
Matic Fred
Lingard Mata Gomes
Greenwood
Alot of potential plus alot of players who have never really kicked on and become first team regulars.
They play 4 3 3 tough, don't they?
4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Same personnel and defensive shape in either case.
In 4 2 3 1 Lingard plays in the hole. There's a reason why Pogba hardly ever plays there.
That DM would need to make up for McTominay's lack of ability to progress the ball and press the ball, though he seems good at tackling and intercepting in that new role so far to be fair to him.
I would go for Lewis Cook at Bournemouth. He is young, but he can tackle and looks to pass the ball forward.
Not a terrible shout, only I don't know what's happened to him at Bournemouth.
I think Arsenal & Chelsea are better at full strength
As an arsenal fan there’s only 3 players I’d want from your starting 11 in ours if everyone was fully fit. De gea, Maguire and pogba. Id agree it’s better than Chelsea’s though
Similarly to Arsenal and Chelsea they don’t have enough to challenge the top sides, and they don’t have the firepower of Arsenal to beat the small sides. That Europa League team is also far behind Arsenal’s and when he Champions League sides drop down they have no chance
Captain who?
a. Kun
b. Stirling
c. Pukki
d. Salah
FYI - currently on Kun
Cheers
A
I'd go with Kun if I had him.
Kun
I have all of them and (C)un for me.
Kun
Cheers lads - I'll stick with Kun 🙂
Aguerooooo
I have Josh King, thinking to swap for Calvert Lewin.. thoughts??
Nah i wouldnt, abit sideways amd maybe a little backwards too
Might wildcard tomorrow after the deadline to capitalise on teams with a good run such as Chelsea
What do you think?
Depends on your team really.
Do it tonight after the deadline
Morning ladies......2FTs
a) Boly to Rico or AV def
b) Haller to Tammy
c) a & b
d) no transfers
Team right now is
Pope - Button
Zinc - Digne - Soyu - Lund - Boly
Mo - Raz - Mount - Cantwell - Hayden
Kun - Pukki - Haller
Thanx
Whats the latest on Mount.
Would you keep on WC or lose him?
Keep - should be back for at least the good run of games next GW.
Id keep because of fixtures plus value tied up in him, depends what bench your planning i guess
Press conference today I think
A. Aguero and Mane
Or
B. Aubameyang and Salah
Tough one mate
A
A
A just
Super tough, basically Auba v Kun, if you think Kun starts all epl games then Kun otherwise Auba
I'm on A. Prefer Liverpool cover to Arsenal.
B for sure.
Thanks all, currently on A. Have KDB and TAA too
predicted minutes of KDB?
A) captain him
B) Kane to captain
90
A
90. A, KDB captain over Kane. But KDB depends who else you could captain.
Kane > Aubam (C) ?
Thats what I am thinking
All gtg here? Think I’m going to save and have a look at 1 or 2 of Auba/Son/Abraham next week on a mini wc
Pope
TAA Montoya Lundstrum
Sterling Mane KDB Mount* Cantwell
Aguero (c) Pukki
Button Soyuncu Pieters Wickham (1FT 0m itb)
Looks good
Looks like a good plan
Which one?
A) Van Dijk and Haller to Soyuncu and Auba
Or
B) Sterling and Haller to Son and Auba
A looks better esp if you have other Liverpool coverage. B could also pay off, but I personally would want to keep Sterling, at least with the plum fixture this week
Do we think that Sterling can’t be rested being 5 points behind Liverpool?
His minutes scare me from captaincy
I fully expect him to start.
Me too, they must go full strenght
Mount to Lanzini is a good move?
Not really
Don't think so. Looks like Mount only out for a week, so unless you are absolutely bare on the bench I would keep
Who to play?
Both attacking...
A) Lundstram
B) Rico
B for me. SOT home form is poor
B, but not much in it
B
Cheers!
captain Kun or KDB?
kun
Fully rested Kun all the way
Kun
Aguerooooooo
Can I get away with banking a transfer? If Mount and Emerson are both out, I might only have 10 players.
Pope Adrian
Alderweireld Emerson Pieters Lundstram Kelly
Salah Sterling Mount Lanzini Cantwell
Aguero Haller Greenwood
This is the danger of such a bench. Is there any way to address that, ie. money in the bank?
Yes. I have 1.1 FT.
Options would be to transfer out Emerson to someone, but I want him for their upcoming fixtures.
Otherwise I could do Kelly out to a max 5 defender, which doesn't leave me with many enticing options. Newcastle def for this weekend the only thing I can think of. Thoughts?
What would you go for?
A. Digne, Otamendi, Haller
B. Rico, Lundstram, Auba (c)
A. Rico Lundstram a bit light. Depends on your other defenders, though
A seems more points to me. Though it's a captaincy option less for you.
KDB or Sterling to Captain?
I would go with Sterling, but if you are afraid of minutes go with KDB and save yourself the headache
But I do have Sterling, Salah and Kdb (if I really wanna). So Auba might be too much
Opps wrong reply
any suggestions what to do here? 1ft 0itb
ryan
robo zinch digne soyu (lundstram)
salah sterling maddison de bruyne (dundo)
pukki haler (greenwood)
Sit back and relax
cheers
Nice team. Consider replacements for Zinch, but not this week. Who’s captain?
cheers
sterling I guess...
any Mount news?
Nothing official. No ligament damage unofficial news.
Nothing concrete, but looks like he’ll be back against Brighton if not on Sunday
Cmon green arrow!!!
My team is very good but I've just decided to hit the WC after today's deadline. Reasons for me are that I want Son, Soy and Abraham LONG TERM, and want to make Cantwell a regular starter for me. Meaning... Mount and Barnes are now excess to requirements. Also not interested in Digne anymore until Gbamin returns, which is late October
Current team:
Pope Woodman
TAA Digne Ota Lund Kelly
Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
Barnes Pukki Haller
WC moves:
Digne + Kelly + Mount + Barnes + Haller (seems crazy, right?) => Soy + Guilbert + Son + Abraham + 4.4 F
Would most likely cap Son in GWs 7 and 9. I'll still have the core of my team, with Digne the only premium asset to leave. Feels crazy to lose Mount before that run of fixtures, but I really want to stop benching Cantwell (Fraser, Doherty and Jimmy last season for those who bought early) and the only way around that is 3-5-2, which means no Haller. Would still have two playing subs, so no problem there
Questions:
1. Where do you draw the line between aggression and patience?
2. Is Son (C) + Soy + Tammy worth losing Mount + Haller + Digne + Barnes and promoting Cantwell?
Doing my head in, these
Yeah this is mad, just do Raheem > Son and Barnes > Abraham.
Son isn’t generally good long term pick, each season he seems like a good option but then you look at his end of season tally and he’s never even made 180
5 years, 2 days agocurrent team:
Pope-Heaton
VanDijk-Coleman-Zichenko-Söyüncü-Rico
Salah-KDB-Martial*-Mount*-McGinn
Kane-Pukki-Wickham
A) do the wildcard?
Pope-Button
4.5-4.5-4.5-5.0-4.0
Salah-KDB-Son-Richarlison-Cantwell
Agüero-Pukki-Ayew
B) Martial to Ricahrlison and Mount to else
