    Assuming we get rid of this cretin in the next week or so - imagine Cantona in charge with Keano as assistant. Should soon sort them out

    really struggling to use my 2 ft this week and need some help

    Pope
    TAA Soy Ota (rico lundstram)
    Sterling Kdb Son Cantwell (Nakamba)
    Auba Tammy Haller

    any ideas?

      have had kdb since gwk 1 so cant really get rid

      Maybe Son to Yarmalenko if it means you can upgrade Haller to Auba?

          already have Auba!

            Oops, sorry! Misread - maybe same moves but Vardy instead of Auba?

              4 years, 5 months ago

              yeah that looks good longer term tbf, but Son has Brighton and Vardy has Liverpool ...

                Yeah probably not the week to do it. It’s just a really nice team tbh - difficult to know what to do with it.

                  think I might risk it and get Saka in for Cantwell just for one week! and then with the 2 frees downgrade son and upgrade haller and Saka

                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Seems a good plan - Saka looks the real deal and with your team looking as good as it does the only real alternative is to burn the FT. This way looks good both short term and long term

                      You literaly agreed with me. Is it the fact we’ve won 13 PL titles making you mad? Dont really get the bitterness - ive always thought ajax are a cracking little side

                                  Haha done! All jokes aside Ajax have at times changed football as we know it. Impact has been huge.

                                        Won the Champions League in 1995. Tell me what other years they won the Champions League?

                                            Oh heck sake! if you go by that rule then Madrid did not win it 13 times

                                              For the record: 1970-1973 consecutively + 95

                                                So how many champions league did Madrid win? 5 or 3 or 1... European cup or not! It is known now as the CL & past records count regardless of the change of name.

                                                Would never have expected this from a pool fan tho

                                                  You're the one who claimed Ajax won 4 Champions League trophies. They won 4 European Cups, one of them in the Champions League era.

                                Bottom of last page, sorry.

                                So I'm either saving a transfer or taking a hit this week.

                                I'm gonna hold kdb. If he's hurt I have to play Rico away to arsenal, which makes me want to sell Salah this week.

                                Should I...

                                Save transfer and play Salah and Rico this week

                                Or

                                Take a hit to get vardy and mount in for salah and greenwood

                                Or

                                Take a hit to get auba and one of guendouzi/Saka/Mcginn for salah and greenwood?

                                Most people on the last page said save, but playing Rico is gonna suck this week.

                                  I have to play Rico away to arsenal, which makes me want to sell Salah this week.

                                  Rico could assist or worst case get 1-2 points. you probably won't cover that with a hit. Do not sell Salah

                                    He was class on Tuesday night. Plus Klopp will be bollocking them all week about letting Von Trapp FC nearly beat them. And Outstanding is bringing his team claiming they're top 4 contenders. They shouldn't lack for motivation.

                                Fixture history is telling me I should captain Pukki as he's at home. Mad?

                                Pukki over Salah, Son, Tammy/Mount & Kun??

                                  It's between pukki and Salah for me also. I'm thinking pukki as I'll most likely flip him for Wilson next week. So as it's his last week I'll let him go out with a bang. But I'll probably take the sensible option and pick Salah

                                  Home game for Salah, plus he scored a brace in midweek, I'd go with him, don't want to dissuade from Pukki though as he has great home form and Leicester haven't conceded many.

                                    I'll probably play safe with Sal's as Norwich aren't at the races quite yet

                                    True.... Leicester seem solid though. Norwich Villa could be a blow out.

                                      Have us used wildcard yet? Try and keep the hits count low. Bad for rank but a bad habit to get into. I'm not really one to advise about hits, they feel mighty until GW finishes 🙁

                                        Yh been trying to keep to that this season but I've already used my wildcard and now have a team reliant on cantwell and Lundstram starting most weeks with Rico + Hanley on the bench. Plus with kdb injured, it's looking like I'll have to take a hit or two.

                                first question would you start cantwell or Lundstram?

                                And thoughts on my planned move of kdb to Mahrez?

                                  Cantwell if fit (home game), I like it, mahrez has a lot of potential for an 8.5m mid and is in form. Just have a route to get kdb back planned out though.

                                    4 years, 5 months ago

                                    What injury does cantwell have? Is he likely to be subbed on or is it just a case of start or no show? I really like the Mahrez pick especially if bilva is out. Kdb out isn’t ideal especially losing 0.2 only reason I’m willing to do it is cause I still have my wildcard if I can’t find a viable route to kdb back in

                                      He's rumoured to have tweaked his hamstring, I don't know unfortunately mate, if I was to guess, I think he'd be out entirely if he doesn't start.

                                  I’m starting g Lundstram even if Cantwell is fine. hoping for a clean sheet and an assist since they are playing WAT who have only scored 4 goals and conceded 20 goals so far.

                                    Yeah seeing Lundstram playing just behind the strikers made me think I need to start him more often but cantwell at home to villa is tempting. If Farke isnt really positive might play it safe and start Lundstram

                                  B is good, but surely moving Andone is also a priority.

                                      Newcastle don’t offer much and United are good defensively. They can’t score so will need to keep a clean sheet

                                        Good is possibly a stretch, but without Shaw and Wan Bissaka that's a very different team. Pogba a doubt as well.

                                  1 up. Took the plunge on KDB -> Mahrez.

                                  C.Taylor could be the goods too.... I think he's better than Pieters and will get his spot back.

                                    It’s good. Mane is rubbish

                                        For just 1.0 more you can have the main man on pens and corners, the Egyptian King.

                                    I have decided against Mane out for Auba.
                                    But with the combination of Jota out for Mount it's more appealing and I probably would.

                                      Yeah might be worth it. Although wolves home fixtures look really good

                                        Apart from this week looks good all the way to 16. But Mount has great fixtures too - better between now and 12 it looks like.

                                  Pretty certain I am going to go without Auba and Vardy and hold Mane.
                                  Instead it will simply be Haller to Wilson.
                                  Question is do it now with 1ft or wait.
                                  Ars defence is brutal whereas CP have been ok.
                                  I kinda feel Wilson could outscore Haller this week.

                                  A. Move now and use the FT
                                  B. Hold and do it next week With 2FT and roll one.

                                    B and then assess fairly even this week

                                      Fair point. Plus I spent pre season onhere raving about how good Haller was going to be. Would be like me to lose him before a haul 🙂

                                  Just seen the highlights. Tierney's first time crosses, my God, almost as good as Robertson's crosses.. The guy is going to be class in the PL.

                                  And he tucks his shirt in, the handsome devil.

                                  He's only 5.4m, too.

                                    But he's an Arsenal defender...

                                      If emery could play Holding in there and then persist his strange desire to play Xhaka that Arsenal defense could be better. The again, Holding wil be more popular due to price

                                    I’d start Kdb for Barnes just in case. Save and Enjoy 2ft after the IB.

                                      Oh yeah I'm starting KDB over Lundstram but might bench Barnes as you said

                                    Ha we know where Lundstram really plays. I like it.
                                    Yes you gotta start KDB.
                                    If he doesn't play who cares you get someone off the bench. Hard call on who to bench between Lundstram and McGinn but probably bench Lundstram.

                                  Just did an exciting Montoya to Tomori. Couldn’t let Kdb go since I had too much value tied for an IB injury. So I’m left with this:

                                    Probably he right order. Saints always score at home.

                                  A lot of the talk seems to be about Aubameyang. I've contemplated a -4 myself to get him in at the expense of Salah. But in my case I could avoid a hit and get a striker who plays Norwich, Watford and Newcastle in the next 5... all this while keeping Salah.

                                  C. Wilson instead of Auba anyone?

                                  1. sminkypinky

                                    So many good strikers with favoursble fixs. Could work, both too, but then there’s Pukki, Tammy, Kun too... so many.

                                    That's exactly my move or hold Ft and do
                                    Haller to Wilson next week.
                                    I would be losing Mane but much the same difference for Auba or Vardy or both.
                                    It not just saving a transfer now it's saving a transfer GW13 too and if both for a hit that's a -8 overall
                                    I think Wilson can stay with that range easily.
                                    And yeah the fixtures swing it for me and Ars in the top 5 for worst defence with the other 3 you mentioned.

                                      I would have Pukki Tammy and Wilson which sound ok. Pukki got Watford coming up too before he is discarded.
                                      And Son can destroy Wat another week 🙂
                                      Target the weak 🙂

                                        Cheers mate, if I go with Wilson (which is increasingly likely) I'll have the same front 3. Auba is tempting but there's a good chance he doesn't outscore Wilson by much in the short term and I lose the Salah headache 5 fixtures from now. Good luck!

                                      2. bench boost for every gamew…

                                        after travelling around the globe with his national team not sure Son is the best bet going into gw9 and then they have Pool away. Bou attacker vs Norwich s and sounds juicy, might do that and bin my Vardy plan and go for maddison instead.

                                  Aguero owners/cappers, do we think he starts this week or are we just clutching at straws?

                                    Not owner but pretty sure he will, he got benched last week due to small issue anyway right?

                                      Didn't know that. I thought he got benched because Pep wanted to play him in CL.

                                    Reckon he will play

                                    i think he will, but Wolves are much better side when they can sit back and counter while Bou can´t defend, so Auba in for me. City without KDB, and people just saying well they played well without him last year. People forget that Sané was in the mix then. Without laporte as well, there is a lot of players that are components in how they play that will not be there.

                                    Its the perfect scenario: Aguero starts, City is up 2 or 3 goals at 60 mins, Aguero then sits

                                      Cheers Lav - how nailed is he?

                                        At the moment, nailed. Pulisic not close, Pedro poor, CHO still slowly getting back.

                                    Think lanzini is more nailed, but he's fresh back from an injury and he usually takes 2 or 3 weeks to get upto speed
                                    Maybe Willian then?

                                      This weekend definitely a cause for worry. Sounds like he'll be GTG after the international break. Even if he makes the bench, odds are that City will put the game to bed and he wouldn't be needed. Minutes for Mahrez?

                                  I was planning to hold my WC until IB but I did 3 early transfers (Ederson, Kelly and James to Pope, Ota and Mount) so I was on -8.

                                  With KDB news I could not resist to WC. This is my team:

                                  Pope - McGovern
                                  TAA - Ota - Tomori - Lund - Rico
                                  Sterling - Mahrez - Mount - Yarmolenko - Cantwell
                                  Auba - Abraham - Pukki

                                  I have 3.5 itb to do Pukki to Vardy and Mahrez back to KDB

                                  I am still not decided
                                  Soy or Tomori
                                  Son or Mahrez

                                  What are your thoughts on this team?

                                  1. bench boost for every gamew…

                                    Looks good, since you have Lund i would perhaps say Soy and play Lund this week. Lei def better defense. If KDB is out for just one gw and no other injuries i would be tempted to just hold even on a wc and play Cantwell. That way you get yourself to an easy swap from Pukki to Vardy even though doing a wc with a plan to bring in a player next week, i would perhaps just done it at once, Vardy in for Pukki so you save yourself a transfer along the way. Pukki must get 4 points better this week and you will get to save next week as your team would be quite good going into gw 9.
                                    I have reposted about Son to many posters here and i´ll repeat it; he plays in the ib for south korea, long travel and they have a cl game just after which they need to win. Then they have Pool away. Brighton is not the worst mind, but Spurs usually struggle after CL midweek games and Brighton do actually doing ok defensively. Spurs on the road is also a bit meh..
