After an eventful Gameweek 14, in which I almost committed the deadly sin of selling Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), I couldn’t be happier with the end result: a total of 93 points and an overall rank well inside the Top 20K for the first time since Gameweek 10.
Considering the rumours from several sources saying Salah was going to be rested at Selhurst Park, I almost pulled the trigger and sold him for Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) on Saturday morning. However, since I wasn’t 100% convinced by the rumours, I decided to hold fire and hope for a cameo from the Liverpool midfielder at the very least. After all, it would be heartbreaking to sell him ahead of such a nice fixture just to find out the rumours weren’t true.
However, the rumours were very true and he was indeed benched. But Salah doesn’t need many minutes to wreak havoc and after his 16-pointer, I was relieved to have decided to save my transfer. In addition, Ruben Dias (£5.7m), Andrew Robertson (£7.3m), Jack Grealish (£7.8m) and my captain Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m) all delivered nine points or more, which felt great after three red arrows in a row.
Pope is overpriced imo. Taylor is like a million cheaper.
Bruno, Chilwell, Mahrez >>> Salah, Robbo, Raphinha???
-4
Would be reluctant to lose Bruno, any other way
Not without losing Grealish or DCL
Lose DCL
Not sure about bruno out ..
Other 2 fine..Yes Bruno to Salah is the only one stopping me but I fancy Salah to score more over the next few games
A reluctant yes as I think Salah is needed this gw
Hi guys, Merry Xmas!
Best one week punt before wildcard?
A. Firmino
B. AgueroMight as well go for B - always nice to have a proper one week punt before wc
Firminho since he will start.
A
The Brazilian
Is Cancelo the safest city defender for tomorrow? He played 90 mins midweek but with Walker out they don’t have another RB do they?
Think so .
I think so yes unless he plays a CB in the RB position
You never ever know with Pep.
I’d say do. But it’s Pep.
Start Ayling or Taylor?
Taylor
Ayling
Taylor
Starting both, hoping for a 0:0 lol
Planned to FH on gw18
Walker to
A) Matip
B) Dias
C) Cancelo
D) DallasC

Merry christmas lads!
Current team;
Martinez,
Chilwell, Ayling, Lamptey
KDB, Salah, Grealish, Bruno, Soucek
DCL, Vardy
(Button, Brewster, Mitchell, Lewis)
2 free transfers, Do I do the following for a -4?
Chilwell, Lamptey, Vardy > Stones, Coufal & KaneBased on this team what would your strategy be for BW 18 and DG 19
Mccarthy (Button)
Zouma Dias Dallas Konsa Neco
Salah KDB Bruno Son Anguissa
DCL Bamford AdamsForgot to say no first WC available and all chips available.
FH GW 18, BB GW 19
Think you could easily use transfers to get a good BB side in 19 and use FH in 18
FH18, BB19.
After this week, look to move on Konsa, Neco, Button gradually. Fund it with DCL > Wood next week.Cheers. I was tempted to save the FH to later on in the season and use TC GW19 but the concensus says different
WC next gw, best option this week?
A) Taylor (lee) + Adams (ful)
B) Matip (WBA) + Wilson (mci)Good to roll FT?
McCarthy
Stones Dallas Zouma
Bruno(vc) Salah(V) Mahrez Grealish Soucek
DCL Kane
Forster Coufal Taylor Wilson
1ft + £0.4itb.yup
Cheers mate, merry chrimbo
Merry Christmas.
Chilwell, Mahrez, Vardy
To
Dallas (or io yo 5.5) Salah and Bamford? Yes or no?Yes
I really find the fixture ticker very handy and using it very often. I also customize the team values which is currently based on home and away. Is there any chance to add Defense/Attack rather than home/away values? I think most people uses Defense and Attack schemes when sorting the fixtures and currently we cannot customize it based on these. For example Leeds fixture is red for my defenders but for my attackers its green and currently I cannot set it that way.
Thanks and merry xmas!Yes I think so I’m the drop down bar. Just have multiple drop downs.
A) chilwell to Taylor
B) chilwell and Bowen to Robertson & raphina
Both for freeB
B easily
B definitely
Just wanna make sure there's no serious doubt that Mane doesn't start this GW?
Can I use my second WC after gw16 deadline?
yes
How's this strategy then Gw17 WC FH 18 and BB 19?
It’s fine but you might struggle later in the season with no WC
But how? I think the fixtures in 19 have many cheap options which might not be the case later?
How would you navigate the blanks and DGW later in the season?
Like how I am navigating now? We will know in advance who will have blanks and dgws?
And you'll be wanting to stock up on dgw26 options who blank in gw29 probably
Anyone considering Salah TC this gameweek?
Won’t gain loads with everyone in Salah(c) anyways
Thanks Rafa.
Maybe in GW 19..
Going forward, which option would you choose to have in your team?
A) KDB + TAA
B) Salah + DiasB
B
Easy B
B easy..
Does anyone know if there is any truth about Soucek missing out this weekend. - wife gave birth my mate was telling me?
Wasn’t that Coufal? Not sure he misses out but his wife just gave birth
Ahhh. I think you may well be right ... thanks.
So do you think there's any risk to just starting him anyways? If he isn't available to play he won't be subbed on and my sub comes in, if he does play then I get his points as I wanted
Sounds good to me matey!
That is Coufal, not Soucek.
LOL
I’m all set
Martinez
Dias - Dier - KWP
Salah(c) - KDB(vc) - Bruno - Grealish - Son
Wilson - Bamford
Button - Taylor - Mitchell - Davis
Good luck all. 🙂If you’re all set, would you mind helping me out with my post below?
Merry Christmas everyone 🙂
I still have my first wildcard and here is my current team
—————McCarthy—————
——Dias Zouma Robertson——
Salah Bruno Son Grealish Soucek
—————Kane DCL—————
Subs: C. Taylor, Fodder x 3
0.0 ITB, WC, FH and BB available
Any suggestions what I should do please?Nice team. Tidy up next week. Possible BB19
DCL > Wood Since you have first wc
Eh??? What did I miss?
Form ?
2,2,2,2,9 is not form! So what did I miss??
Lol
Currently on 500k
Martinez
Coufal Taylor Ayling
Salah KdB Bruno Grealish
Vardy Watkins Wilson
Should I expect a red arrow?Not really. Your team has all the ingredients to do well this week and beyond
Sadly no bench. I'm still not sure what I'll do in 18 & 19.
WC Active. Looking G2G? 0.4ITB.
McCarthy
Robbo, Dias, Coufal
Salah(C), KDB(v), Bruno, Raphinha
DCL, Bamford, Adams
(Johnstone, Soucek, Dallas, C.Taylor)It’s pretty much the current template. So it’s a good team
Great, I thought the current template was Spurs galore and Grealish? Haha
That’s the dilemma I’m in. I have my first WC and could replace Grealish with Raphinha and upgrade my bench for DGW.
Looks like I will go against the grain and keep my current team and TC Salah in the DGWSeems a waste. Everyone will C Salah anyways so you’ll just get a small rise
Looking good!!
(H) Alone followed by Flushed (A)
Just finished watching (H) Alone. Really enjoyed it.
Johnstone,McCarthy
James,Matip,Coufal,Balbuena,Ayling

GW19 BB Team
Any thoughts...Looks good
Anyone fancy a mega haul tomorrow everyone but Bruno in my team has plum fixtures.
I normally feel pessemstic but wierdly confident for this gameweek....Put down the Christmas wine 😆
KDB will score more pts than Salah
How likely is scenrio of cancleling some of the games this gw ?
y?
Unlikely
Easy GTG ?
