I think the main thing is if you are unsure to err on the side of patience and fix some other area of your team. A mistake when not acting is 4 pts better than a mistake when acting. In the case where you need to move and are 50/50 between 2 replacements, you are in the luck of the draw territory unfortunately.
Yes patience is undoubtedly crucial - but does mean setting these calls straight n often be left too long
Yeah I guess the OR impact and flow on effect to price changes mean we are biased toward over reaction rather than under reaction to the thing that just happened. If u are aware of this natural bias (that exists in us all) it may help in future decisions.
How did Salah play today? Is he a safe starter against BHA?
Barely touched the ball from what I read on Twitter.
I would guess he would start
Who will score most points this week?
A) Son
B) ZiyechSon
Ziyech.
Because I own him 😆
Finally sold Podence. It feels so good. Have the 4 points I don’t even care. Get out of my team.
Vardy or Bruno for captain question of the week
Or KDB
Vardy
Rdy
Vardy
Get Whom Bamford or Watkins ??
Bam
Bamford imo
J Rod to KDB is planned move. Any one hate this/ see anything better?
Martinez
Chilwell James Cancelo
Salah Son J Rod Soucek Grealish
Werner DCL
Forster Brewster Dallas Brantwaite 1FT 4.4M ITB
Any input really welcome.Like that transfer. Team look strong and well balanced
Cheers
Which one do you prefer folks?
A. Vardy [C] Jota (-4)
B. Bamford KDB [C] (-4)
C. Werner Jota, no hits and Bruno [C]Very tough.. Must be better options.. Post your team mate
Before any transfers:
Martinez (Ryan)
Chilwell Coufal Cancelo (Taylor Mitchell)
Bruno [C] Zaha* Son Grealish (Burke)
Werner Kane DCLKane to vardy. zaha to jota imo
C
a
Using free transfer on Podence to Jota gets me this team. But defender move needed as Mitchell unlikely to play- which do you think best? Saïss to
A Cresswell
B Robertson
C Coufal
D Dias
E Anyone else I am missing?
Martinez
Chilwell Cancelo Mitchell
Son Bruno (c) Ziyech Grealish Jota
Kane DCL
Forster Brewster Saïss LampteyB
I just did Saiss to Dias for that its worth.
Thanks. Nice team you have below. Only issue is whether to double up as have Cancelo
Anyone worth a hit, or good to go?
Also, any thoughts of what to do going forward?
1m ITB.
Martinez
Zouma, Dias, Ayling
Son, KDB, Bruno, Grealish
DCL, Kane, Bamford
(Steer, Mitchell, Bissouma, Taylor)
Thanks ladsAll good. Later just up Mitchell to a WH to have a bit of a stronger bench?
Scared to go without Salah though and dont want to sell any of the mids. Was thinking Kane, Biss, Zouma - > Salah, Brewster, Coufal next week could be An option
Good moves
Cheers JN
I like the changes 😉
Which one for next few gws?
A. Jota, vardy
B. Dcl, sterling
TiaB
b
A.
I have them both. Vardy a must for the home game against Fulham. Jota is scoring goals for fun so makes sense to have him in case he scores a brace or a hattrick from midfield.A
A
A) Just get Salah now
B) Get KDB and swap to salah after BUR FUL
best option?B

Is Leeds man marking system a good or bad fixture for James this weekend?
Bad imo.. They will mark him the same way they marked KDB. They aim for the playmaker.
Yep that is my instinct too. The recently returned from injury Leeds CDM probably gets the job if Everton retain the wing back system which is another negative I guess
Kilman or Dallas to transfer in this week?
Will be a bench player after thatvl just covering LampteyDallas
Are any Man City players worth a punt this week, or should we wait for their form to improve?
Thinking on J Rod to KDB, seems an acceptable risk
Not really a punt but I thought KDB looked decent against Spurs, if Rodri or Dias had scored their free headers he'd have ended up on 8 points plus he's rested
Can do
Ziyech + Rodriguez > de Bruyne + Jota for a -4.
Already have DCL and Werner as Eve/Che attackers and have no Liv/MCi attackers so like the diversity move.
Thoughts?Already have Bruno and Grealish in the mid.
Yes
I thought Jota looked dynamite against a good Leicester team on Sunday so I took a hit to bring him and Vardy in (helped that I had Zaha tough)
Is Saiss simply bench fodder now, even when he's fit?
Looks that way I'm afraid
Looks like it. Not first choice for sure
Nothing is certain but it looks as though the LB role is Kilmans to lose and Saïss isn't comfortable on the wing so Marcąl and Ait Nouri should be battling for that spot. Hard for Nuno to fit him in currently, if Coady was out for an extended period of time it's possible he gets a game or 2 but I think Coady is due back this weekend after having a negative COVID test.
1FT 2m ITB.
Son Jrod -> KDB Jota -4?
Martinez
Chilwell Zouma Robbo
Bruno Son Rodriguez Grealish
DCL Kane Bamford
Forster Podence Lamptey MitchellYes.
Would rather do Podence, Kane - > KDB, Warkins/Antonio(if fit)
Cheers i'm happy to bench Podence but not sure i'd be happy to bench Watkins/Antonio every week
Ah, true that. Could go for Brewster and upgrade Jrod to Salah with the money?
Would you sell Bamford to get Jota for a hit?
Don’t think so
No way
Bamford is up against Everton's leaky defence next so no.
Bamford has also a good run of fixtures starting in a couple of GWs...wouldn't get rid of him.
who going to the bench
A. Bamford vs. Everton I have Hames and DCL
B. Chillwell vs. Spurs I have Son and Kane
C. Cresswell vs. Villa I have Grealish and Martinez
What I was planning to was play McCarthy(also have Bruno) for Martinez
bring in Kilman against Arsenal for any of the three ..C
C
Do either of these work?
A) Kane, Zaha > Vardy, Salah (-4)
B) Brewster, Saiss > Vardy , Neco (-4)A looks tasty
Are these moves worth a -4?
Saiss, Wilson, Soucek => Dias, Brewster, Jota
or
Saiss => Dias and roll a transfer
Here is the current team:
Martinez – (Button)
Robbo – Kilman - Targett – (Lamptey) (Saiss)
Salah – Bruno – Son – Grealish - (Soucek)
Bamford – DCL - Wilson
2FT & 1.1m itbSaiss - > Dias and save imo
Just the Saiss move
Who would you rather sell this week? Likely selling the other next
A) Son
B) ZiyechZiyech this week
A
Ziyech

Which of these would you go for?

Gtg?

Bruno Son Jota Grealish
Vardy (c) BamBam Timo
Taylor Riedewald MitchelGood team for not having Salah or KDB. Got money ITB to get one?
I shipped Salah out for Bruno, planning on getting him back for Fulham. Got 3.6 itb
Looking to take -4 what do you think best options would be...
Son and Rodriguez - jota and kdb
Son and Rodriguez - Salah and jota
Kane and James- kdb and Vardy
Kane and James - Vardy and jotaKDB Vardy in
C
I did the forth move. Vardy (c)
*Fourth
Vardy and Jota for me
Is it worth bringing Salah back this week for a hit?
Im waiting...didnt look great today
1FT, 0.5 ITB
Martinez
Chilwell James Cancelo Justin (Mitchell)
KDB (C) Bruno Son Grealish (Podence)
Vardy DCL (Brewster)
A) Podence > Jota (-4) (exact funds tonight).
C) Save and play 442
A would mean benching one of Justin, James or Chilwell. Cancelo may not play so may need all 3 anyway. Plan would then to bring Salah back for a double up in GW12.A
A
a
Thanks all, the move has been done! I now have a big benching headache going forwards but will refer to it as Covid insurance!
I think most of top10k will captain Bruno
Thats why Im going Vardy
I have 4m itb which allows me to upgrade Ziyech to Salah for a hit.
Is it madness?Not madness
no
Not at all...planning to ship Ziyech too, but from next week

Hi All....(apologies for the essay)
I was wondering if anyone has any strategies for how to make 50/50 calls - decisions where the stats, fixtures, and eye test all work for a couple of players, and it’s a straight choice between them. I’ve had several of these this season, and seem to have gotten them all wrong! (see below, * for the one I went with):
GW2: *Rashford/Son, *Richarlison/DCL
GW7: *Zaha/Grealish
GW9: *Target/Coufal
Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve made a couple of duff transfers as well (Podence GW3 anyone?), but nothing too tragic. I’ve thought that over time I should get a few more of these right, however it does feel like they’ve had a fairly serious impacts as it often takes a couple of moves to repair.
Noted that this is a relatively small sample set, but just wondered whether I was missing something, or anyone has any strategies for dealing with such decisions
Thanks in advance
