Best longer term pick?

A) Guehi
B) Coufal

Have Areola, if it helps. Would be rotating with Burn, Cash & Gabriel.

Gibbs-White seems like a juicy differential for GW9 in the game vs Luton, doesn’t he

Now that we see such extensive injury time periods, shouldn't the "minutes played" reflect ACTUAL minutes played?

Some players will make it to the 59th minute having played 13minutes of injury time in the first half, but don't get the extra appearance/clean sheet points.

Similar to a player who come on in the first half at around 40minutes - they are very likely to play 60mins by the final whistle.

It can't be that hard to track, when you consider the amount of stats the opta are tracking for every single player.

"For those interested, Son just had a slight bump in the thigh hence why he limped off at halftime.

Press asked: Were you okay to complete 90 minutes?

His answers summarized:

• Playing 90 minutes is not easy always for all players (generally speaking about pro football).

• In the first half I bumped my thigh, but its not a issue.

• It was good to get 90 minutes in and will help me a lot.

• Now it will be important for me to return to Spurs and maintain my good condition..."

Turner
Udogie Digne Andersen
Saka Salah Son Maddison Diaby
Haaland Alvarez
(Leno Colwill Kabore Osula)

2FT (0.1itb), at the minute I'm looking at the following options for this week:

A) Leno to Areola
B) Son to Mitoma
C) Son to Bowen/Martinelli/Foden

Losing Son before Fulham looks bad on paper, but given Mentaculus' analysis of Fulham's performances v top 6 sides with Palhinha in the squad and Son's constant injury worries and early subs, I think I'm resigned to lose him, certainly for now at least. My major qualm with selling is GW12+13 v Wolves and Villa which are great fixtures for him.

Think my slight preference is C for Bowen (although 3 week punt on Foden is mighty tempting) but any of C locks me out of Osula to Nunez next week. Mitoma doesn't however, if I do A this/next week alongside it.

Best one gw mid punt under 6.5m?

Think I'm down to these 2 options - whatcha reckon?

A) Save FT
B) Bruno -> Saka (can't afford if/when Bruno drops, which looks imminent)

Turner
Trippier, Porro, Cash
Son, Maddison, Bowen, Diaby, Bruno
Haaland, Watkins

Areola, Burn, Archer, Taylor
Bank 0.1m, 1FT

Wc team;

AreolA Turner
Cash Udogie Burn Botman Tylor
Son Maddi Salah Jwp Mitoma
Watkins Haaland Archer

Any suggestions??

My team is

Turner
Saliba - Romero - Digne
Bowen - B. Fernandes - Saka - Salah - Son
Watkins - Hojlund

Obama - Robertson - Woodrow - Baldock

1 FT, 0.1m itb.

Robertson's injury is unfortunate. I plan to wildcard next week. Any changes for this week?

Morning all

Assuming both are fit, who would you start?

A) Mitoma
B)otman

Team A and bench starting for me without Haaland. I am leaning towards capping Son.

Turner
Trippier White Porro
Salah Son Saka Bowen
Watkins Nunez Alvarez

Areola Gordon Cash Tarkowski
1.0m ITB

Tarkowski will become another 4.5 defender or Estupinan.

If I had to bring back Haaland, Team B. I won't be changing my midfield and also would prefer to keep Trippier.

Turner
Trippier Porro Cash
Salah Saka Son Bowen Gordon
Haaland Alvarez

Areola Archer 4.0 4.0
0.0 ITB

Variables come down to owning Watkins and Nunez or two other strikers in the same price brackets vs Haaland so 2 vs 1. Team A much stronger bench to cope with flagged players and auto subs are good as well. Team A I can play pretty much any formation. I can also rotate my defence with team A playing the best fixtures. Team A also still has all the best cap options bar Haaland which will be the most important thing going without Haaland, and that is captaincy. Team B I will have to start Gordon each week, the same defence each week plus bench is sh*te. I would not want to get rid of Trippier either to have a slightly better bench with team B.

Really is not difficult if I am left with no choice to bring back Haaland. 2 FT's and a -8. At the end of the day this is all but a game and for me it was just time to see what happens without Haaland while both him and City have had a dip in form, upcoming tricky fixtures and generally to make the game more interesting and to have some fun. My rank was sh*te with Haaland (owning Saka, Son and Salah) and I am sure many on here are in the same situation. Owning Haaland and capping him does not do much for your rank when he hauls because everyone gets his points. If he blanks and the rest of your team has a miff GW which has happened many times not just to me but to many others, your rank could be in major trouble if you picked the wrong cap to go against Haaland. I capped him 6 times this season and the rank is shite. Not owning him, the only way he destroys you is if your cap blanks and majority of your players blank. Looking at the bigger picture, it is pretty much 50/50 at this point. Mo cappers were the winners GW8. You just pick your poison tbh.

Which team do you prefer out of A and B taking all variables into consideration?

First WC draft:
Turner / Areloa
TAA / Digne / Van De Ven / Lewis / Gusto
Maddison / Salah / Bowen / Ode / Palmer
Haaland / Alvarez / Archer

I’m set on TAA as a differential and think Ode will only be a few shy of Saka come the end of the season.

Is gaining 1.8m of team value in 2 weeks good?

Assuming Robertson is sidelined for months, who is a better pick for 6 to 8 weeks

A. Tsimikas
B. Gabriel

Have Archer and Colwill on the bench. Should I transfer out Luis Diaz?

Have Salah, Son, Maddy, Bowen already.

Who to choose: Will Darwin start??

A) Darwin
B) Odegaard

I'm going to play my WC in gw10 so this week I have 1FT for a one week punt. Have £0.2itb. Thoughts on the best player to bring in?

Neto

Trippier - Cash - Botman

Salah - Saka - Maddison - Doku - Mbuemo

Haaland - Alvarez

(Turner - Gusto - Beyer - McAtee)

Would you bench any of these over Bowen this week? Thanks.

Trent Tripp Porro Cash
Salah Son Maddison Diaby
Watkins Álvarez

Hwang Hee-Chan looks a decent option for the price, isn't he?

Thought I'd share this in the chat. He's been doing this for more than a decade its just normal at this point. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cyhm9XnAzWa/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Who to bench for GW9?

A - Cash
B - Botman
C - Burn
D - Udogie

Have Areola in goal away to Villa if that means anything.

Bench one:

A. Walker (BHA)
B. Morris (nfo)
C. Cash (WHU)

Thanks.

Hoping Nunez starts GW9 because when he does start, he usually is in the points. If he does not start he can still haul as a sub. Going to have to deal with his minutes but that is the case with many assets at the moment.

https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/10/darwin-nunez-diving-header-and-stunning-assist-seals-historic-win-for-uruguay/

Start :
A) Cash (H) WHU
B) Bowen (A) avl

Should I bench

A. Wissa at home vs Burnley?

Or

B. Neto away at Bournemouth?

Nunez dismantled Brazil last night and had a G+A to show for it.

Apparently that was Brazil's first defeat in WC qualifiers in 37 games and Uruguay hadn't beaten them for 22 years.

Already has one of the best mins per goal and has fixtures of EVE, NFO, lut, BRE.

For WC GW10

A. Jesus
B. Watkins

Thanks

Areola
Porro Cash Coufal
Salah Son Maddison Diaby Bowen
Haaland Darwin

Ammisah Taylor Archer Branthwaite - 1 FT, 0.0M ITB

Save FT this week? And play Coufal (avl) or Taylor (bre)?

Best Jackson replacement up to 7.4?

Darwin or Alvarez?

Should I keep rashford for 1 more week as away to shu plus scored last night ? I do own holjund though too
