Son returns as Mendy absent and James benched for Chelsea

Last two far from nailed medium term IMO.

Or Alonso-Rudiger-Lukaku

I would argue that Rudiger is more nailed than Alonso

Lukaku, Rudiger and Mendy are nailed. Nobody else

Considering attacking return as well

Don't pick Kovacic unless you want to get leapfrogged.

Not Kovacic mate. (Kante & Jorginho first choice)
Kova hardly ever scores or assists. Recency bias is clouding your judgement have a look at his total goals & assists since he joined us. It's very low.

Well I wish you the very best of luck as a Chelsea fan, if you do go for him & I hope he scores every week for you but for your consideration...

Tuchel did an interview on the 5th stand app shortly after joining stating how Kante is perfectly suited for the double 6 as it allows him the freedom to roam defensively horizontally & vertically but the teams shape is kept in a pair.

We play 3,4,2,1 (although second half we went 3,5,2 today)

3,4,2,1 leaves 2 positions behind Lukaku between:

1. Mount
2. Havertz
3. Werner
4. Ziyech
5. Pulisic
6. Hudson-Odoi (Also plays RWB)

I doubt you will see Kante playing there regularly as from a creativity & goal scoring perspective it's not his skill set.

Kovacic is also competing with Saul in addition to Kante & Jorginho. (2 for 4 positions)

Kovacic won't be playing 90 minutes every week, he'll play in the double 6 when he does & although he's a good footballer, I doubt he's suddenly going to become a good fantasy asset because he so rarely gets returns. Again like Kante it's not his skill set.

I've not looked at his heat map, but I'd bet he's not high up the pitch.

Again if you've seen something in him & feel that outweighs the points above I genuinely hope he smashes it for you & I'd be delighted to eat a huge slice of humble pie.

May I at least suggest you get a decent playing sub to anticipate his regular benching.

Best of luck whatever you do mate, just trying to share some info as a Chelsea fan, as I appreciate the info that fans of other clubs are kind enough to share on here. So rather than just saying yes or no to a question I try to explain my thought process so that you can judge for yourself if you agree with it, or I'm talking BS!

You're welcome mate. Thank you for your polite reply. Not everyone has your manners. Best of luck to you too. 🙂

B more attacking

Yes Livramento it is.

Toss a coin. One or the other, not both

C

B, but fancy A also v the Spurs we saw tonight. Who's your next weakest you reckon?

2

Thinking I should just keep FT? Bruno should have easily hauled today.

Bruno, Scarlett to 4.5 and Ronaldo if you want to captain Ronaldo.

Sarr?

Ask after GW6!

Zaha

Could have had 2 assists.

Unlucky like Bruno

He was marked well but could have had 2 assists but Werner and Kovacic wasted the chances

Precaution although presser midweek should clarify

Never looked limited in his movements at all. If they didn’t tell you he was injured, you’d never suspect it, which made his substitution quite surprising to me.

Bruno is bound to punish next week you just know it

Torres to Sarr?

Was also considering Grealish > Gray to free up some funds.

*Shaw is Marcal

Save

Save your FTs. Bench is looking a bit weak though

Wildcarded in*

When your luck’s in, your luck’s in

Underpriced and great fixtures

Alonso could have easily had a goal. Does future rotation with Chilwell worry you at all or is Alonso firmly ahead of him ?

1. Wolves have 3 points from 5 games
2. Wolves have scored 1 goal (ex OG) in 5 games
3. Traore has no history of “coming good”
4. I own Trincao

Enjoy another 2 points

Regarding your number 3, our eyes see things quite differently. To quote Az, “All fart, no poo”.

Why sell now?

Keep for Brentford game

Gray

Hey Loon, I have him too.

Give him 1 more shot.

Same. Gutted.

I'm keeping but getting Rudiger too to feel more confident I'll always have at least one Chelsea def playing

Depends entirely on your bench. As a James owner myself, I think there will be hauls from GW7 onwards but there definitely will be some cameos or no-shows so if you can accept that, then keep.

Keeping for next game then prob swapping for Rudiger

I've been telling myself for weeks Chilwell will come in but Tuchel doesn't seem to rate him and Alonso has been really good. I've already had to deal with Chilwell not appearing last week and then moved to James this week who also didn't so I'm just sticking, likely to get Rudiger in now too though

Because he was ill for GW5?

TAA is season keeper mate, look elsewhere for the budget

Well done. Sarr, Benrahma and Rudiger ?

Congrats! Enjoy! 🙂

Not for neutrals!

Alonso?

Love Salah in defence mate!!!! Haha

* TAA not double Salah!

Typo in defense.

Yes. It looks good. Just hope Wolves don’t disappoint

Keep Torres as I'm selling for Gallagher

No

Not Kova, the Kante twins are both back fit.

Torres is done, only scored in one game

A.

C

Esr

Benched for who? Werner?

Did you watch Werner when he came on?

Lukaku is 99% nailed and I'm a non-owner.

Will be benched or blank from now on

Yeah most likely benched this midweek vs villa

84 pts this week. Moved from 236k to 37K overall rank. 391 pts total.

59, shocker as always, Lukaku blank in a 3-0 win is a kick in the teeth

Good start. Dropped a tiny bit today owning to the CS and Wolves fail.

77k

Probably only 1-2 50/50 decisions keeping me outside the Top 10k.

5 straight green arrows. 150k OR. Happy days.

*week has gone. Should I move Matip to Rudiger (will be doing it either now or in 2 weeks) and then leave myself to get VVD in in a few weeks?
