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.
Fernandes just scored a 17 pointer at home.
Fernandes has beat Salah's 16 (sixteen) points last week. Make conclusions.
Bruno is best player in the league atm on form & skills 😉
Why would you sell him ?Trying to get Salah in this team. With 2 ft
4.5 / 4
Lamptey, Cancelo, Zouma, Dallas, Mitchell
KDB, Son, Bruno, Soucek, Burke
Vardy, DCL, Watkins
I would find a way to keep/get both.
Hi guys
Best 6.5 under midfielder?
Thanks!El Ghazi or Raphina
Rafinha
Bowen or Raphinha. I prefer Bowen.
Martinez or McCarthy this week?
Martinez
Tough call. I'll say Martinez.
Is my bench order correct?
Martinez
Dallas Coufal Matip
KDB Bruno Salah(C) Son
Bamford Adams DCL
Steer Bednarek Taylor BissoumaLooks good
Nice team, yes.
What's your plan for gw18 bad gw19 ?I have 1.2 ITB. FH 18 & BB 19.
I wouldn't fh. There is huuuuge dgw26
I plan to use WC for DGW 26.
That mid is perfect
Cheers
Mendy or Ederson for next 5 gw's ?
Morning folks, best moves here with 1FT and 0.6m itb. Planning to navigate through gw18 (with 8 players) and dgw19 (with 8 doublers) with 2 hits.
Martinez
Taylor Coufal Chilwell -- Lamptey Douglas
Bruno Kdb Salah Son -- Burke
Watkins Dcl Bamford
A: Lamptey >> Dier...as planned but may end up with only 10 starters if coufal doesnt play
B: Lamptey + Douglas >> Dallas + Balbuena (-4). Can bench taylor and also get taylor on if coufal doesn't play. Also, gets rid of douglas who is a dud and gives me the option to get a 3rd leeds player (raphina) next gw
C: Chilwell + Douglas >> Cancelo/Dias + Dallas (-4). Similar logic to BSave FT here chaps?
Martinez
Coufal Stones Zouma
Son Salah Mahrez Bruno
Kane DCL Bamford
Forster* Dallas Taylor Burke
1FT & 0.2 ITBInteresting you have Stones. Want to bring him in but doubt he is actually nailed. Stones or Diaz?
if i had enough cash, i'd have gone for dias
Nobody bailed except ederson
Balbuena (BHA)
Zouma (ars)Pick one
easily Balbuena for me
2FT considering downgrading Kane to get Salah...
McCarthy (Button)
KWP, Walker, Dias, Alioski, (Kilman)
Grealish. KDB, Son, Bruno, (Bissouma)
Kane, Wilson, Bamford
Walker, Grealish, Kane
1). Mendy, Salah, Wood/Watkins -4
2). Robbo, Salah,I'd just keep Kane tbh.
That CRY (a) result is a one-off, pretty much any player could score the way Palace were playing.
WBA (h) might not be as easy as it looks either.
RP
McCarthy
TAA Alioski Coufal
Salah (c) KdB Bruno Raphinha Soucek
Bamford Kane
Forster | Konsa Brewster Ferguson
GTG?
Should I play Konsa over Alioski?Would you rather have a 6.1m (and below) midfielder or a 6.1m (and bellow) forward?
basically a 352 or 343.
I still have Watkins for this gw, but am looking forward to replacing him with a Leeds midfielder or SoucekForward, Adams?
Bench one.
a. zouma
b. soucek
c. dallasSoucek
Zouma for me.
Fifth time in a row with (K)DB captain.
Better return me a massive amount of points this time!Good to go and right bench order?
Martinez
Coufal Dier KWP
Salah KDB Bruno Grealish Klich
Kane DCL
Forster Brewster Webster Mitchell
Hope everyone had a great Christmas!GTG
Ryan
Chilwell KWP Coufal Lewis Ferguson
Fernandes KDB Mahrez Bowen Bissouma
Kane Martial DCL
2FT - should use one on Chilwell, but worth ripping up the team and a -4 possibly to get Salah? Kane or KDB would have to go...What you thinking re mahrez? reckon he plays this week?
I'm thinking he will play
Also Ryan is not playing. Something wrong with the team.
Dayum. Didn't realise he'd been dropped
Who is your second keeper?
Since Ryan is no longer first choiceYeah I'm not on the ball this year, I missed him being dropped..him and Chilwell then I need to fix.
1) James to Matip
or
2) Mahrez to someone below 8.3?
If keeping mahrez...
A) Play
Or
B) Bench him and play Taylor/Walker Peters insteadSanchez
Dias | Dallas | Targett
Bruno | Salah | Son | KDB | Grealish
DCL | Bamford
Forster | Reguilon | Brewster | Lewis
Guys, any better candidates for bench than Reguilon?
Playing away is the only reason.Id play over Dallas tbh
i'd start reguilon and put dallas on bench
Is it 2 much to have both Dias and Cancelo in a team?
i guess. city like to rotate their defender a lot
Especially with Walker out shoukd be OK for next several weeks least
Current backline with 1FT, 0.6 itb
Martinez
Coufal Stones Matip (Lewis, Mitchell)
Which is better?
1- Save the FT
2- Lewis > Dallas (in case Coufal is in paternity leave as rumored)Guyss plzzz help
Chilwell to:
A) matip
B) Coufalmartinez
taylor - zouma - cresswell - reguilon
grealish - son - salah - bruno
DCL - kane
sub: macey - bissouma - brewster - mitchell
1 FT
a. reguilon --> coufal
b. Save ft
any other suggestion?
thanksWhat is wrong with Reguilon?
NEW POST
Dias or Cancelo?
Need them to play this gw and def in gw18.
Will Cancelo play this gw? yes walker is out but cancelo has played 4 in a row and pep would want to keep for the eve/che games. Can see a back 5 with bernardo?I have chilwell and planning to get either dias, dier or matip.
I think dias is more likely to start than cancelo. Altough you’ll never know what pep’s gonna do...
Chances of Aguero starting?
Will Aguero start?
On my wildcard so any suggestions or am I GTG?
I just bet the kitchen sink on him DeBruyne turning the corner today and onwards. Fixtures are great until gw23 so fingers crossed.
Wildcard team
McCarthy
Dallas, Stones, Walker-Peters
Salah, DeBruyne, Fernandes, Son
Kane, Bamford, McGoldrick
Peacock-Farrell, Jones, Taylor, Neco Williams
0.0 in the bankBest James replacement here for max 5.6m? Planning to FH19.
A) Dier
B) Stones
C) Gabriel
D) Someone else
McCarthy
Cancelo, Targett, Bellerin
Salah, KDB, Son, Bruno
Bamford, Watkins, Wilson
Forster, James, Riedewald, Douglas
Bank 0.5m, 2FTProbably A as he's Mourinho pet and park the bus tactics...
has taken a few free kicks recently as well.
Who to start this game week?
A) Dallas
B) TaylorBruno on 23 baps already. Beast.
3 years, 8 months ago
Would anyone do Fernandes -> Salah?
Seeing as United have 2 home games in the next 3. and Liverpool have the better fixtures
