I did that 8 weeks ago, and everyone laughed then too...

2,5M OR rise later....

Entertaining isn't it?

I don’t get selling the most expensive player on the game on a Monday night

There are still midweek games to play

Yeah definitely way too risky before we get more info

We legit don’t know what it is yet. Peps injury description and then recovery timeframes aren’t even consistent. Which could be English second language or could be misinformation.

But even if we did know, we don’t know what happens mid week. Watkins could get injured on Thurs. Solanke is safer but he’s still Solanke. Other fires could start where Haaland becomes a lower priority sell

Definitely think paying 0.1 or 0.2 for more info later in the week makes sense

Haven’t owned Haaland all season and sitting nicely at 243k with my wildcard ready to be played.

I think they will prefer one over the other, and it's probably Wilson once he's fully fit

Bought Isak for his consistent returns and to get to GW18, and he's not going to manage either!

B

C

C

Or upgrade a bench player with a transfer so you have at least 1 good cover

B. I know Nunez is a rubbish striker but one has to hope he does well against a jaded Manchester utd side.

Think Bayern will destroy all the energy & enthusiasm left in that Manchester United side so I expect Liverpool to find it easy tbh.

B or D

If you want Guehi out and Porro in, then that's a clear decision IMO.

As for "other" I'd be looking to strengthen Baldock or Chuck - even if just a little - plenty of budget options in those brackets.

I do think Darwin needs to go, but not just yet

Certainly not Sanchez in C. I was at Goodison on Sunday and he was atrocious

The life-sized rubber jousting sticks sold out pretty quickly I’m afraid.!

no, they are not

Yeah, he's a tit.

I can’t stay abreast of all the injuries

Possibly B but your defence is okay.

Depends if you want to keep Darwin for the weekend really.

Also Salah to Haaland if he's fit by then in gw20 is fine.

scrub that...

Definitely B.

I agree that your defense doesn't look awful, so I'd stick with A for now. Might change to B depending on midweek fires cropping up though, or if Haaland is passed fit, you could even bring him back this week, potentially 0.1 or 0.2 cheaper than you sold him.

I would go A.

Using a wildcard is no small thing. Your team does not need it that badly.

I wouldn't have knee jerked Haaland so early - as you've potentially took a -4 for nothing.

Have enough money in the bank to ride out last nights chances and have .8 let to spare once Watkins/Raul come in, trusting Pep (who no one trusts) for a decision this big to save .1 seems madness.

that's fair enough but expecting KDB to be back and hit the ground running night be optimistic.

I agree the second wildcard is best saved to Easter if possible, but sometimes you've just got to use it for advantage.

That said, so many went early with their wildcards this season rather than saving it for December.

Reply fail to _Freddo

Yeah that’s cool, KDB is the priority and do think he’ll hit the ground running, doubt they’ll rush him back if he’s not at that stage but I guess the point is I’ll be doing two swaps and not spending the Salah/Son change.

See who’s looking good around that time and take a few punts with those spots because the rest would feel pretty template.

ONE

Considering their opponents, I think this is only between Lascelles and Gabriel. I'd bench Lascelles

Tsimikas

Essential is a strong word

He's just another very good asset in a pool of many good assets

Not exactly the most explosive, but I guess he's a good stand-in if Haaland misses out

He isn’t essential but a good pick.

*£6.6m

Best move would probably be to wait until the Friday presser

If he's ruled out, Watkins is better long-term, but Solanke has the better immediate fixture

My suggestion would be Haaland to Solanke after the presser, Darwin to Watkins for GW18

how many games would Haaland need to miss for you to sell?

3 or 4?

Nice plan. Think I'm starting Lascelles over Gabriel this week. Think Newcastle are a different beast at home

Why the goalie transfer in GW20?

I did a -4 for Kabore to Porro and Haaland to Solanke but I still have WC in tact which I will use in 19/20 to get Haaland back in and get rid of Afcon players. It´s all team dependent on whether to keep or sell Haaland, for me I can distribute the funds for 2 weeks and have a stronger team for 2-3 GW.

In other words, how can I now which which games are still not scheduled at all within the gw?

only if your other positions are alright and you dont need cash.

On paper, it should

Lascelles as I think Brighton will score against Arsenal

Gordon for me

I'd go with Gordon who has consistently returned when Newcastle are at home

Newcastle and Chelsea aren't in great shape just now. Consider these names too over the remaining December schedule:
Tavernier, McNeil & A.Doucouré

I would wait until Newcastle played Milan. It feels like a game that could potentially made their injury state even worse.
Lascelles and Schaer were in obvious pain vs Spurs, Joelinton had an issue. And this game is si important for them they're going 100% in for it.
Gordon is one of them playing an awful lot of minutes recently.
Barnes is maybe back also, which could be a factor in the Fulham game.
And Fulham is in form, Luton just played very well against both Arsenal and City at home, so Im not that sure this run is the best considering the state of Newcastle. Away to Luton is just after carabaou cup vs Chelsea midweek.

They made their transfer BEFORE his last match which they knew he would miss. This doesn't mean he will miss this weekend.

Alfie sold his son before last deadline? Interesting!

Same issues, see below.
I’m not sure..
Feels wrong to keeping it when I probably will take hits before GW19/20. Hwang and Palmer has 4YC as well.
But have a little fun using the Haaland-money now is also tempting and wildcard him back though.

Hid Dad sold him from his FPL team so Id change your plan.

Considering it myself, not certain I trust Pep enough any which way though unless he explicitly says that he's in or out. That said, you'd expect Haaland to either start or not be in the squad at all, so C should be relatively safe.

I've been having a little look/think about Bournemouth & Fulham, and while I'm not against the Solanke pick, I do think their attack is likely to be more successful against sides that will come on to them more than Luton. There's not much creativity there and their goals are mainly coming from their press forcing errors / high turnovers and using the pace & direct running of their front 4.

Fulham's attacking form looks a bit more sustainable to me now that they've got a settled front 4. There's ample creativity there with Andreas/Willian and even Jimenez (see the delightful chipped through ball v WHU). I've been a bit of an Iwobi skeptic but I'm hearing good things and almost convinced there.

Anyway, this is my roundabout way of saying C 🙂

Not many FTs or options to use the $ sadly

It’s great so many ways to play it and with Asian and afcon goodbye template. Exciting few gws.

I think it's worth taking the risk, although I have a WC available to get him back easily so probably easier for me to say

Does Tsimikas for Robinson count? Planned as part of a Haaland merry go round (if he’s out). Robinson consistently high up the xGi

He’s not been sold by many managers yet?

The flood gates haven't opened yet. At 14 least players are falling at a faster rate than Haaland according to FFFix.
