Harrison absent with coronavirus as Raphinha and Bamford start

I think everyone should be pretty happy with that - no blanks, no mega hauls

Exactly

This, a goal and assist if you own both. What more do people want how is that failure

Excellent point actually

If you are ever fully satisfied in this game you aint invested. Piints are crack, need more and more for the same high

I’m gonna go Kane to Antonio and Greenwood to Salah next week I think.
Get to have Bamford too then

The "Bamford to Antonio, worth it?" posts this week will be priceless.

Might pay off next week lol

Not the worst, he could have monster hauled so 8 points is a blessing really

Thank the rumours when benrahma hauls vs United..
Young boys scored 2!!

Did the same, and actually quite happy. 8 points isn't too bad

... okay? Semedo might do OK. Traore might fail again.

I don't know. Less pressure with the good fixtures as they could pop off whenever.

Good. Always prefer good fixtures. No guarantee, but it helps.

Ask me tomorrow around 14.30

I invested in Wolves def and might get some attackers soon if they show some form.

V nearly swapped Raphina to Traore earlier today, feeling glad I didn’t right now

Bamford, Raphina & Semedo owner. Happy with Leeds players points. Both teams have a good run of fixtures, (Leeds next 5 GWs, Wolves next 10) so I'll leave all 3 in & focus my transfers elsewhere.
Thought Leeds could have scored more first half, so I'm not knee jerking based on the second half.
Relatively cheap / mid price players likely to return a steady flow of points, enabling the premiums of Ronaldo, Salah, & the likes of TAA, Antonio, Jota etc to have the most impact.
Surprised by the reactions of many on here. Hopefully all those complaining sell Bamford & Raphina to make them lower owned & more impactful. Happy days.

Same if I haven't sold hit for a hit.

Oh yes, he's keeping Billy company for me next week. Think I'll give Livramento a run-out

He didn't.

Not really

Raphinha was good, others were awful.

Could have had a huuuuuge haul

Didnt look so, but withdrawn earlier than normal.

Looked like he came off early as a precaution. Hopefully he's ok.

Hopefully precautionary early sub

Seems as though Bielsa was managing his minutes due to some niggling injury. Didn't appear injured in any way when departing the match which is a good sign for his owners and Leeds in general. They definitely lost their mojo when he was subbed!

We also have a playing 3.9 def 🙂

Yeah for not many points either

They are decent if you could rotate them well, with TAA as your only premium

Chuck Omobamidele in there to complete the back 5!

Duffy is the only one playing in a half decent defence. Livramento not bad for that price, Saints defence us shaky enough. No point in skimping on defence if there are points to be won getting Trent, Chelsea, City defenders and a fodder keeper.

At best you get 3-3.5PPG from rotating them, rather have my premiums averaging 5PPG.

But you've got City and Chelsea with the best defences in years 5.5-6

Wolves 4.5-5.0

Brighton as well

I would never go that way of course, but it could be interesting to see how and if the lost points from such a cheap defence could be compensated from the few millions you could invest more in to the offense over a season period. Especially this season when a lot of managers try to squeeze additional premium players in…
Agree on the value of premium defenders of course.

You could also change formation.

Wood is an option but not an exciting one, Armstrong could be good but has bad fixtures in next few.

Precautionary

All three great options.

In that order

Gallagher, Palace's fixtures are decent now

A
B
C

ABC

Wolves.

Earned him 3 bonus so 9 vs 7.

was a 50/50 - they won't get many CS anyway

Think so. Was up front a lot last season. Was probably not mentioned much because few really considered him an option.

More interested in what Benrahma can do.

Hope Coufal benrahma and antonio will all haul..

No that never occurred to me.

Never been a no go. Vardy is a nice option.

Yes

Vardy always a good option but may better value for money elsewhere

Can get Raphinha for Benny and sort Tsimikas assuming he's not starting in coming GWs. Rest looks strong!

Hang about we are 1 game in this week moose

Yes

I would yes

Depends what else you’d do with the money.

You’d cover his clean sheets, but what about when he gets the occasional 15+ in a week?

Absolutely. Playing every week for me until injured or a repeat of last season's poor form.

TAA essential

Thanks guys...will bring in TAA.

Yes

Very brave.

Most likely yes. I brought him in this GW on WC and that is already more than enough for me 😀

Good luck mate, great differential. Owning would be enough for me but go hard or go home.

I once had Ozil when everyone else had Sanchez, Ozil hauled, Sanchez blanked and I got a GW rank of 833. You remember that gameweek more than the countless ‘captaining the poll leader’ ones!

Good luck

Seen a team with that in one of my mini-leagues. Great punt, good luck to you.

I’m here with/for you. The rumours of a Salah benching and me being a degenerate gambler put me on it. Actually it’s just a one week WC punt, when Jesus becomes Antonio. Good luck mate.

Nice

Tired probably.

Need I question why you are asking about Manquillo

Raphinha to Sarr then follow Newcastle.

Ah cute, it’s lovely to see bold brash and and short sighted comments!

Attacking asset is fine. Green fixtures

You are horrendous in my opinion

Raph still looked a decent option, Bam nabbed a return from a fairly weak performance. Ayling will be buried on my bench until WC and never spoken of again.

I got Raph for -4, better than a blank & it's more about the next few.

nah its good considering future fixtures

Depends who you sold tbh. I'd be pleased, but I'm also pleased as a non-owner. Tbh they're both players that tick along so you'll see the largest benefit from them by holding longterm.

I think we've all been a bit spoiled this season with mega hauls. I'll take a goal or assist quite happy from any of my players.

The performance was a bit meh, but the fixtures are undeniable and I'm sure Leeds will have better games over it.

You’re fine - the hit is gone now & you can sit back & watch the points flow in over the next 5 gameweeks

Given how Leeds played . . . yeah, I'd be concerned.

Well you got 13 points from a sideways pass and a cross that went in so be happy

I sold Mahrez & Smith Rowe for Raph and Greenwood for -4. Happy with how it's gone so far.

Wasn't 100% and close to red line.

Precautionary. Looks dangerous and their main man tough.

Not properly crocked but seems like there was a concern over him playing the full game, supposedly due to a small issue he picked up.

Would be surprised if he doesn't play the full 90 next week. Probably misses the League cup game midweek.

Everyone tries to virtue signal as hard as possible for 90 minutes

Trees are planted

It means the players walk/cycle in, honest guv

Nil nil

It’s a good bit of spin to try and deflect attentions elsewhere.

Players struggle to use a carbon pencil but get to use crayons?

Second season syndrome 🙁

RHIP

Bielsa said he is always confident of coping with absentees but Ayling and Raphinha both have injuries after tonight’s match. Particularly short in the centre of defence.

Hips dont lie thats a worry

Well that is him out.

It's hip to be subbed

He’ll be grand

Well rested for West Ham
