I have 2 transfers. Looks like I'm getting rid of Alonso, I already have Martial but I feel Pogba needs to come in as well....

What do people think?

Don't go overboard with United. Let's see it pan out a bit. One player is enough.

I want to drop Alonso too but have a feeling he might come good again and is a differential at this point. Might keep him until I use the new year WC.

Son and Kane doing the business. Was tempted to captain Kane but Sterling was always the obvious choice.

Hopefully will end up around average which is the best I could hope for after an awful Saturday.

I went for it. Fraser and Alonso for Pogba and Lovren.

I just feel with the run up we have the feel good factor now is a time to get on Pogba at 7.8million. I wouldn't be surprised if he reaches 8mil+ in next few weeks.

Tempted to get a United player as well but not sure who to drop from midfield:

Sterling / Sane / Richarlison / Son / Hazard.

Hazard and Richarlison will stay all season and both have great fixtures coming up. Son will called up to the national team but that’s not a for four game weeks or so and he has excellent fixtures till then.

Tempted to drop Sterling but no idea what I’d do with the money.

Fiminio, Wilson, lacazette (c) all

When’s the best time to use the triple captain? My mate tells me that some game weeks there’s two games that count so to use it then?

Which 2 of Pogba, Martial, Lingard would people bring in...? Could get all three but probably overkill and a -4.

Think the safest option is to go with Pogba. The guy looks fresh now, and he can score & assist, whereas Martial or Lingard are more finishers. Obviously Martial can score a brace easily, but I see Pogba scoring (penalty perhaps) and giving assists too.

It's not an easy choice, but I would go for Pogba at the moment. Don't forget guys that on the 29th we'll be given another Wildcard 2 use!

I would replace Laca or firmino with Auba

Harry Kane saved my arse this week. 61 with Sterling captained and 20 on the bench. Chuffed with that. Watch him and Auba get benched on Boxing Day now :nervous:

Pogba and Martial will easily be the most consistent long term. Lingard is a streaky player though and loves Decembers.

Which is more important this week?

  • Getting Hazard back in (would take a -4 and downgrading Kane)
  • Upgrading Pereya to Martial (free)
  • Moving Kane down to someone
Glad I didn't lose Kane to fund Hazard for a -4!
Typical sod's law I left Pereya on the bench for his 12 pointer. If i'd switched him to Martial I'd obvo have played him.

Kane is hard work though. 2 goals at a tough away game (in theory!), minimal returns from some of the" "easy" homes.
Can't take him out home v Bournemouth now, so will probably revert back to a few weeks ago and have

Salah & Martial in
Sterling and Pereya out

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
Brought in Martial and Rashford for the festive run - feels nervy, and will make watching Utd even more exciting, but feck it, it's Christmas, come on Ole.

This is my Christmas team now - what do you reckon lads and ladettes? Pretty sexy looking I reckon...

Lovren----------Kolasinac---------Doherty

I am tempted to integrate Son into my team but don’t really know who he would replace as the rest of my midfield consists of De Bruyne, Mane, Richarlison and Fraser who are all good value and have played well. Maybe I will do Mane for Son which would get me £1.1m to use on some upgrades.

I don’t have free transfers for this week as I used one to sell Hazard and get De Bruyne but I think I might still go for Patricio to Alisson upgrade which I have wanted for a while. Liverpool play Newcastle at home next which is basically guaranteed clean sheet and would earn me the 4 points back. I will probably wait though.

Mane, Patricio and Michael Keane to Son, Alisson and Van Dijk is tempting I must say. Pogba instead of Son is very tempting as well, he could be getting proper good numbers.

Can't decide on Wilson to Rashford or Fraser to Martial
Brought in both...

Ederson
Robertson Lovren Kolasinac
Salah Richarlison Martial F.Anderson
Kane Aubameyang Rashford

Have a little bit in the bank, so plan to take out Felipe Anderson for Pogba, or Richarlison for Lingard, depending on who looks more dangerous against Huddersfield. Can't decide right now so may as well avoid the -4.

First time ever I've had genuine faith in our attack since I started playing fantasy football :nervous:

Good looking team, if a little light in defence. I'd think about upgrading there, even though it's great being able to consider United mids/forwards again!

Son will be out for a big chunk of January due to the Asian Cup, wouldn't bring him in now.

I don't mind the defence at the moment, will probably swap Lovren for TAA when he's back, as having multiple Liverpool defenders softens the blow of each clean sheet :(

A massive 7 points so far ... My cup game is 7 - 57 :)

I might be able to scrape a win if Rashford goes mad and Everton v Spurs ends 10 - 10

There is still hope.
Wow just realised the cup games have stress haha. Got 72 this week. Won 2 weeks running. Happy days

Lingard is in for me. Can see his running and movement making him almost undropable for ole. Plus Huddersfield next he'll get at least one goal or assist

Captained Sane, when I was contemplating Kane, Aubemeyang and Martial. Always going to be the wrong decision somehow.

Thinking of getting rid of Sane+Hazard for Salah - or downgrading on one of Kane or Aubemyang and get Salah + Hazard/Sane/Sterling/KDB.

Absolutely mental team - best looking team I've seen this season.

He's got 2 Liverpool defenders, City keeper and Kolasinac...?

It's a strong defense!

Lovren can be upgraded to VVD and Kolasinac to Doherty. Better no?
With defense I more look at teams covered - he's got Liverpool covered twice, City and Arse.

I agree that Lovren will need upgrading when Matip / Gomez are back, but Kola to Doherty is debatable, if Kola keeps playing.

Given the strength of his team overall, it's a fine defense. I'd probably look to go Lovren - Doherty when Lovren is dropped, as I doubt he has the funds to do Lovren - VVD given the strength of his midfield / attack.

Alisson
Doherty Robertson Luiz
Mane KDB Richarlison Martia Fraser
Aubameyang Wilson

Bench: Speroni Keane AWB Mitrovic

I am including Patricio to Alisson upgrade even though I haven’t done this yet - either this GW or the GW after I’m doing this.

I only want to upgrade Michael Keane from here as I don’t trust him at all. I would upgrade Mitrovic but there’s nobody to upgrade him with - I would take Rashford but we have a rule in our league that prevents me from doing this as too many teams have him already. Aside from him there’s nobody that would be a significantly better prospect to get points than Mitrovic.

I will probably regret Hazard to KDB but if it allows me to get Alisson and Van Dijk for Patricio and Keane then it might be worth it. Either way having Hazard that all players in our league was boring.
