Why not Ward to Steele instead? Leicester's defence is horrible and Chelsea's is one of the best in the league

Replying as forgot to turn notifications on!

Zinch for me

Odegaard, because Palhinha's still suspended while Chelsea's defence keeps flying

Both are fixture-proof, but fixtures might still be the deciding factor for me here

I've got the same decision and think I'll bench maddison

I'm with Ze on this one. But its close and Leicester attack is potent but a bit unpredictable. Madison more likely involved i guess if Leicester scoring. But Fulham without Palinha, that's bad.

Gabu

That is an awful benching headache.

I’d bench Martinelli out of those though

Toney

A

Mean B

Tough one. But it is what it is. Sometimes you just need to accept points on the bench, which is actually a good thing.

A 29

Maybe boost the bench in gw29?

I'd personally think GW29 would get you more points.

Thats lovely bench I would

G2g

White

This is not even close. White all day.

Yes

I might go March I have all 3, would probably go like ti

March
Mitoma
Toney

Ahh man that’s tough. Martinelli is in great form

I hope they work out for you bud.

Everton game today is going to be -2 with sleet. Can't see good attacking football there myself.

Steele is a good shout but I think Kepa keeps a clean sheet today and gets save points.

Then Kepa plays next week and Steele doesn't and Kepa has a good double in 29. As does Steele to be fair.

Overall this week probably a good move.

Not sure what it gains to make the transfers and ask after. You're not going to like it if someone says that they're bad transfers.

Without seeing the rest of the team it's difficult to judge that. Looks on paper like unnecessary transfers imo. But if Watkins is the only way to Toney i guess it's fine. But i presume you have Haaland and in that case Toney for him would been a better move

risky

Depends on your strategy onwards. I guess you could make a case for it if you don't want to do it in 29 or 34 due to other chips. I think Toney is a decent triple, you get 180 mins vs two bad defences, downside is Brentford usually more attacking home than away. But Toneys personal numbers are actually almowt the same irrespective of home or away. If you watch the scoreline live and Brentford scores you can probably cheer before you check who scores-).

Looks good. That Chilwell inclusion makes it so much better. Have you compared Henry vs Pinnock?

no

nah

Yes

save

Save

both imo. who u playing instead? brightons?

It's actually very close.

Martinelli will probably be playing central with no Eddie or Trossard and Saka was very wide against Bournemouth.

I'd go Saka but it's very close. That said I don't see Arsenal getting many goals against Fulham (I obviously could be completely wrong)

Ive read throat infection as has Tierney

I'm tempted myself. But if a Brighton mid score in the first game you'd feel so bad knowing they have another.

And compared to other doubles of past this isn't a Dennis situation, the Brighton team always score.

If the doublers had bad form, performances or fixtures, then possibly

But see a similar situation with Saka vs Haaland in GW25

Two bites of the cherry for some of the game's form attackers against shaky defences. It'll take a truly unfortunate series of events for this to go badly. Still possible, of course

Thanks guys. That helps

Toney safe march if you brave

March.

I'm going March, but nervous about it!

Burnley spurs last season I guess on a Sunday.

Burnley v Spurs was called off less than an hour before kick off a couple of years ago due to heavy snow. I doubt any of today's games will be off right enough.

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaa!!!

Y’all gonna smell it today & Wednesday. Gonna buy Toney too & swim in the mud with everyone.

-4. Hope is not a strategy.

"Here's the weather forecast for Leeds tomorrow.
Leeds vs Brighton is a 3pm kick off
No snow to worry about and the pitch certainly won't be frozen.
I highly doubt the travel conditions will be bad enough for the game to be postponed."

"And here's the weather forecast for Liverpool.
Everton vs Brentford is also a 3pm kick-off.
No chance of snow and it won't be as cold as Leeds overnight.
Horrible playing conditions though: rain/sleet with a wind chill of -2ºC"
