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.
AB surely
Thanks!
I'd say A, B. They are the best options and they'll either start or get no minutes
Fair enough, cheers!
AB
Thanks
Since when is Coufal doubtful? Birth of child?
Which trio scores more for DGW?
A) Reece, Maddison, Abraham
B) Reece, Ziyech, Adams
C) Dier, Son, 5.0B if Ziyech is fit in time. C looks good but they only play once that week
What do you think about Maddison? I got no Vardy, only LEI cover is Justin..
I don't think cover is a valid strategy this year. Maddison won't get the same consistent goal involvement as Vardy. On the other hand, if Ziyech plays, a lot of Chelsea goals would go through him
Thank you!
In isolation, A imo
I already have Giroud in my team unfortunately it would mean CHE attacking double up..
C
What to do here? 0 FT, .9 ITB
Mendy
Dias - Robbo - Dallas
Salah (C) - KDB - Bruno - Grealish
DCL - Bam - Brewster
Steer - Stephens* - Chill* - 3.8
A) Save + play brewster as my 11th
B) Chill out for a hit
C) Upgrade Stephens > Soucek or someone for a hit
D) Something else for a hit?What is your chip strategy?
Most likely FH18 and just try to load up on DGW19 players without using a chip on DGW19
In that case I'd probably go with C
Could also do Douglas > Coufal for exact funds and for a hit.
Coufal will probably miss next game
KDB cap over Salah? Is it madness?
Yes
Yes
Not madness, but Salah the better pick. I mean, would we be surprised if KDB outscores Salah tomorrow, probably not.
Nah
Martinez
Taylor KWP Coufal
Grealish salah KDB JWP Bruno
Bamford Wilson
GTG or should I take a hit for Chilwell?G2G, no need to take a hit. Thoughts on my situation above?
Is Wilson going to start though?
Then next GW not great fixture (I have him as well..)Plan was to do Wilson>Bamford. But then Richarlison got injured.
Top 5 attackers to have in the coming DGW?
I would say something like this:
1) Bamford
2) Vardy
3) Antonio if fit
4) Ings if fit
5) Werner maybeBamford, Martial/Firmino and Antonio/Adams. I don't really like Vardy, for someone over 10+ you can't really (C) him.
Means Kane isn't worth it as well then. He's only 10 points behind him lol.
Never bench never C 😉 especially with all the other midfield options this season.
Wood, Werner, Kane, Martial, Adams/Ings
Even with a single game, someone like Kane will score more than Werner.
It often happens tbf
Thoughts on this choice for WC GW 16?
A) Bamford Wood Kane Coufal
B) Adams Rodrigo Vardy TAAA with Adams over Wood
A for sure
Cheers both, keep trying to shoe horn in TAA in and it may not be worth it
Hi guys.. Is Aguero likely to start or going to be Torres up top?
If only we knew. Maybe Sterling up front?
My guess is not. Reckon we'll sooner see Torres/Sterling as the false 9.
Kun
Has lamps presser been done yesterday?
James too:
Coufal
Dias
Balbuena or
StonesDepends on plan for DGW19
Plan is to FH that week so focus is on near term fixtures. Have no starting bench right now except Bissouma..
I like Man City then
Coufal imo for the DGW.
That is if you're willing to swallow a no-show this week, his partner having given birth.
No to Coufal then. Next best?
Saw that you plan to FH for GW19. For more immediate good fixtures, someone like Dallas/Alioski present decent value, despite getting thrashed last GW.
For a player who plays the BGW, Dias looks good. Arsenal actually have good fixtures after this week but have to see if they sort their rubbish first.
Is 7 BGW18 players and 7 DGW19 players and Salah TC worth saving a FH chip?
No hits needed to get there. Initial plan was to FH18.
Gw18: Dier dias grealish KDB son DCL kane
Gw19:
SGW - Grealish dias son kane
DGW - Salah bruno chilwell mccarthy coufal dallas bamfordDon't do FH18 unless you do BB19. We will need FH29 if you BB26.
What logic?
Have 11 week 19 DGW players but only 2 or 3 week 18 SGW players, why not use FH in week 18?
SAVE
Looks like Vestargaard going to miss out
Yup, Salisu likely to make his debut. Ralph seems eager to finally get the chance to play him.
Martinez
Walker, Coufal, Dallas
Bruno, KDB , Salah, Podence
C.wilson, Kane, Bamford
Bench: Peacock-farrel, Bissouma, Taylor, Mitchell
bank: 0.7m, FT: 0
walker is out i think. so based on this which one is worth
A. first sub Taylor and do transfers next gw
B. Walker, c.wilson -> Robertson/TAA, Adams/Antonio(-8)That -8 actually looks pretty good. Yeah, I'd be down for that.
K whixh u suggest
A. Robertson
B. TAA
1. Adams
2. Antonio
Guys and Gals merry Christmas
Captain Salah surely ?
Also Bench correct ? Any hits or something ? (-8 already mainly for defense repair and still looking bad)
Meslier
Ayling Adarabyio Diet
Salah(C). Sterling. Grealesh Siggy
Kane. Firminho. Tekkers
////Pogba(!!) Nwilliams Lewis 0.0 itb
Thanks muchDier not Diet*
How about this BB 19 team?
Team A
McCarthy, Mendy*
Robertson, Castagne*, Balbuena, Coufal, Dallas
Salah, Bruno, Ralphinha, Soucek, Son
Adams, Vardy, Bamford
Team B
Or in place of starred player: Johnstone, Zouma (or Chillwell/ James if fit).
A might do better if Castagne is fully fit, which I think he is now (was subbed before 60 mins last game)
A or B? I believe West Ham DGW is good for defenders. Any changes? Suggestions? Thanks.quick poll
1. Son, Dias, Cancelo (captain DeBruyne)
2. Salah, Lowton, Coufal (captain Salah, 4 pt hit)1
1
Cresswell or Coufal for a 1 week punt before WC?
coufal
Coufal might not play.
If you have the money Creswell for sure also coufal might not play
Coufal and Chilwell are doubtful, but Chilly was pictured in training, right? Take a chance on either starting, or use the second FT?
KWP, Targett, -----
1) Start Chilwell
2) Start Coufal
3) Chilwell > Zouma
4) Chilwell > Cancelo1 if what you're saying is true
I haven't the slightest, honestly. But I've seen comments here suggesting he was.
Hey everyone
Bench 1 of these players
A) Neto (tot)
B) Soucek (Brighton)
C) Wilson (city)A
Don’t you think playing a forward is better than a defensive midfielder
Who Soucek? Not your ordinary defensive midfielder.. gets into the box and scoring position a lot.. almost like a CF at times.. a big goal threat.
Bench Wilson if you feel like playing Neto.
A
Hey ya DZ.
Ready for the rush hour? Deadlines coming thick and fast.. 🙂Ready for red arrows 😉
Nahh.. I'm preparing for greens.. this is the time that separates them casuals and us, ...overthinkers 😉
Play Pogba or Siggy ?
ThanksS
Anyone thinking Stones over Dias right now as budget option into City defence?
Looking nailed at the moment (impossible at City I know, but still).Was thinking the same, ended up buying Dier
Decent option but he can easily go missing in BGW or DGW
No
Going to unleash Lookman for one last time... 😀
Surprisingly I have got players in every game except Arsenal vs Chelsea. Good times!Pick one
A Benteke
B Welbeck
C Fabio SilvaWelbeck
What to do here? 0 FT, .9 ITB
Mendy
Dias - Robbo - Dallas
Salah (C) - KDB - Bruno - Grealish
DCL - Bam - Brewster
Steer - Stephens* - Chil* - 3.8
A) Save + play brewster as my 11th
B) Chill out for a hit
C) Upgrade Stephens > Soucek or someone for a hit
D) Something else for a hit?You don't have Spurs next week. Plan for that
Thinking of dropping Grealish and DCL for Son and Adams for a hit next week.
Play Chilwell and hope he plays. I wouldn't play Brewster, but first bench.
I feel for those with a backline of R.James, Chilwell, Vestegaard, Walker, Lamptey. Im sure there are a few out there
WC draft for GW19...BB19 and FH18. Would you consider changing anything? Any comments?
Mendy McCarthy
Robertson James Coufal Justin Dallas
Salah Son Bruno Raphinha Maddison/Bowen
Martial Bamford Adams
Kane+Dier for GW16-18, after which they will be switched to Martial+Robertson as above...
Thanks.Who is the more dangerous scoring threat?
Neto or soucekNeto
Plain and Simple question Gents:
KDB-> Salah for a hit
Mccarthy
Robbo Coufal Taylor
KDB Bruno Son Soucek
Vardy Adams DCLI prefer Salah of the 2. But not for a hit. This a coin flip.
No
Triple Pool owners anyone?
Hoping for a massacre later!which 3?
TAA, Robertson and Salah (c)
Beautiful. My favourite triple up. But just Salah for me right now.
Maybe punty, but I was actually considering to get Mane and Firmino for the DGW 19
3 years, 5 months ago
I know Chilly and Coufal are doubtful, but just in case they were to start, which 2 would you play out of these 3?
A) Chilwell (ARS-A)
B) Coufal (BHA-H)
C) Bednarek (FUL-A)
Cheers!
