Best budget defender for a few weeks?
Targett/Coufal?
justin
2 weeks? The 4 mil everton Digne replacement
Better pick this GW:
a) Son vs Chelsea away
b) Hamez vs Leeds home
Has to be Son
Saiss to Kilman
Ziyech to KDB -4
Yay or nay?
Yes
I also t/f our ziyexh for kdb this week. So yes from me
-4 team, G2G?
McCarthy
Chilwell, Cresswell, Justin
KDB(C), Bruno(v), Jota, Ziyech, Grealish
Kane, DCL
(4.0, Saiss, Mitchell, Davis)
Gtg
Just not sure that losing Son over Kane was best idea but looking good otherwise
Very hard call. No good Kane replacements I liked
surprised you didnt like look of vardy
It isn’t enough to fund son >> KDB
This fantasy football business is making me lose the plot
I've been playing since 07/08 and for so many years it was something I did in the background for a bit of fun. Never looked at my OR or gave a thought to team value. Being able to watch every game really doesn't help!
Yes!! I’ve watched nearly all of the games so far when I never really used to.
Watching has helped me this season perform better but the issue is fpl is then always at the forefront of my mind!
I've been watching more because of ff.
I've become a Leeds fan this year even though I only have Bamford on the bench...
Sell Jrod to Jota today before the price fall? Or keep him for LEE(H) ?
Keep
Keep
I sold to enable Son > KDB(C)
Keep
I've sold him for jota. One blank too many after his last game
He has great fixtures but seems to be enabling Digne/richarlinson to cross for DCL, rather than assisting or scoring himself
Sterling for captain band differential??
Si or no
Yes
yeah if you have him you have to captain imo
Worth keeping Son?
Also, would you do Hamez to Sterling?
yes keep son, keep Hamez
Is Salah, Bruno, KDB, Son, Jota the best midfield 5 right now?
on paper probably yes but I think JRod could be a big shout this week
He did nothing last week....
On WC:
A) Masuaku Bissouma Watkins
B) 3.9 defender Jota Brewster
Lol dunno how i managed to put that here
Zouma or reguillon for cancelo? I have chillwell
reg but i reckon better picks over both. who are your other defenders
Wich ones? Have dallas and mitchell
best Zaha replacement
A) Jota (i already own mane)
B) Torres (city cover)
C) Rodriguez (thinking could be a interesting punt since on set pieces now Digne out)
D) Other ... who?
What's the news on Zaha? I'm currently just benching as 0FT. Will he be back next week?
yeah but he's been meh anyway so happy to get rid
Fair point. I'm just not sure it's worth the hit right now, he'll be in my team no later than GW13 though for sure!
To actually answer your question A but I'd be worried if he keeps getting the same minutes with Salah back, C could also be good. Think B is too rotation prone. Do you have Grealish?
A for me with rotation concerne
Bottomed
Which one to fund Son > KDB (C)? Would be for -4 unfortunately
A) Ziyech > Jota
B) Kane > Vardy
C) Cresswell > Coufal
Whilst B is by far the most popular move on here, I’m very wary of writing off both Kane and Son just because their fixtures stiffen up - feel like keeping 1 until their form stops makes sense. I don’t have Salah/ Mané so the Jota option is pretty tempting until I get Salah in GW12. Option C is purely a funding move only.
1FT 2.3itb
Martinez
Robbo, Chilwell, Cresswell
Bruno, Son, Ziyech, Grealish
Kane, DCL, Bamford
(Forster) (KWP, Stephens, Branthwaite)
I did A with Jrod as I couldn’t afford B. B for you I think but it’s very very hard
I’m only 0.1 short of straight Son > KDB for free. Very frustrating!
Can’t help thinking that with the number of people bringing in Vardy for Kane that it will be disastrous but maybe I’m overthinking!
I do like Kane also. Hard decisions
Use robbo to fund ziyech to kdb?
Son is a season keeper for me.
You’d keep both Kane and Son for this run? Robbo has been immense though... hmmm
V tough!
Maguire sounds like a great pick reading this article.
Till I watch him play...
In order to afford Werner to Vardy I would have to downgrade Chillwell or Cresswell. Either of those out for a -4 worth it?
I wouldnt want to drop either of those 3. Specially not for a hit.
no
Play watkins or soucek?
Watkins
Been mulling over this all week long! Had soucek in, but decided to bench now for Watkins who's got pens and higher ceiling. It's tough if you also got grealish & west H defender (like me!). Hoping loss of Barkley don't hurt em
Bench Coufal or Kilman?
keeping in mind that Barkley is out for Villa but Arsenal can't score
Coufal has more attacking threat so I'd play him.
McCarthy
KWP - Zouma - Justin
Bruno - Son - Mane - Podence
Werner - Kane - Watkins
(Nyland - Bissouma - Saiss - Davis) (0.2 ITB and 1FT)
A) Saiss to Konsa
B) Kane to Vardy
C) Kane, Saiss and Podence to Vardy, Konsa and Jota (-8)
D) Suggestions?
A) Reguilon, Son, Kane to Coufal, Vardy and Salah.
B) Kane and Riedewald to Salah and Brewster.
Or KDB instead of Salah in either.
Feels wrong to ditch son and Kane but concerned about vardy, Salah and KDB running riot. Any advice appreciated.
Can a -12 hit ever pay off?
not this week
Not normally, low scoring week & you will be out of all competitions
No cost me a cash manager of the month and in turn the knock on affect cost me the league win last season gutting thing was I held out till 1 min before deadline and panicked changed my mind and did it! Still hurts.... Can you tell haha
Son+Kane+Brewster to KDB+Vardy+Bamford for -8?
no way
Does Brewster start against West Brom? The fixtures doesn't get much better for hkm so wondering if to just play him
Big question mark. But even if he starts, I dont have much hope.
(he s in my starting 11 this gw)
Will the players playing in Europe this week be covid tested again before the weekend matches?
Cheers
I'd say so. Think they're getting tested very regularly especially when they're travelling.
Ok but we probably won't hear anything before deadline tomorrow I would imagine?
Doubt it
is anyone taking a hit to get in either KDB or Vardy (or both). If you are please explain why
assuming you're taking out kane or son to allow this
Thinking about it. But more likely Salah and vardy in. Can see them retuning more over the next few weeks and can get kane and or son back when their fixtures turn. But equally can't quite bring myself to pull the trigger - kane and son are both on great form. Are they fixture proof?
I thought long and hard, decided not to do a -4 for kdb. I've done too many hits this year, so was now chilled.
I was happy and sorted. Zen like
Then I listened to the scoutcast, and did ziyech -> kdb for a -4 immediately afterwards.
martinez
Chillwell, cancello, Cresswell
kdb, son, grealish, jota, Fernández
dcl, kane
(Bamford, Kilman, 3.9)
Think I’m going to roll the FT this week. Thoughts?
Martinez
KWP - Coufal - Chilwell
Bruno - Son - Grealish - Ziyech
Kane - Vardy - DCL
(Steer - Mitchell - Stephens - Lamptey)
seems good just lack of city
I don’t know why but I’m not too concerned. If they look to pick up form against Burnley I’ll use the 2 FTs to bring in cover.
Son & Kane have been in much better form recently than any City attackers.
I too was happy with no city.
Stay strong and believe in your decision.
I crumbled yesterday, kept son but sacrificed ziyech.
I think I may regret it as I really like him, but I like son more
Guys, any help appreciated...what would you do with this team?
1 FT
£3.9M ITB
McCarthy
Ayling Robbo Chilwell
Zaha* Son Fernandes Grealish
DCL Adams Werner
Steer Kilman Mitchell* Bissouma
Current thinking is...
A) Mitchell + Son -> KDB (C) + Dias / Cancelo (-4) (bench Zaha and wait that he's available next GW against WBA (A) as still not sure about Jota
Play 4-3-3
B) Zaha -> Jota (with Fernandes (C) still not sure about this option as want to jump asap in City assets and i'm not sure how nailed is Jota)
Play 3-4-3
C) Zaha + Werner -> KDB (C) + Antonio / Bamford (-4) (would leave me with no City defender but potentially would give me enough in the bank to go from Ayling to TAA as soon as he's available)
Play 3-4-3
Cheers
Play one
Targett ( have Bowen, and Martinez)
Mitchell
Targett. Mitchell looks to have lost his spot for the moment.
Offloading Zaha to a Man City Mid, only £7.9m available in doing so.
A) Torres
B) Foden
Anyone think Torres will come good?
Would rather torres than foden
Torres or jota? Have salah but do not have kdb
Need to settle on a move here
1 FT, 0.9m ITB, WC Available
McCarthy (Button)
Zouma Chillwell Justin (Taylor Mitchell)
Bruno Sterling Son Grealish (Bissouma)
Werner DCL Watkins
A) Zouma > Cancelo/Dias (captain Sterling/Bruno)
B) Werner > Vardy (C)
C) Both (-4)
A captain Raz
All these -8 & -12 are good news 🙂
