The only thing is Everton have a difficult run of fixtures coming up, so something to consider
Yeah but I won’t really have him in my first team that often. It’s about someone I can reliably put in for maybe 30% of my games. TAA and Gomez are permanent fixtures and I only have one spot left as I am almost forced to play 7 midfielders & forwards.

As a bench player he's a good choice, even though Arsenal and United are rated as difficult fixtures by FPL in real life, Everton could easily get clean sheets in those games.

Shit week for me again. Rest of my ML has Salah captained :rolleyes:

Best I can hope for is Aguero playing well (if he even plays at all) and getting somewhere close to them.

Henderson - Button

TAA - Baldock - Soyuncu - Williams - Fernandez

Salah - Mane - KDB - Grealish - Traoré

Auba - Ings - Greenwood​

£0.1m in the bank, Wildcard active. Thoughts?

Some nightmares going on. Outside top 10k now. Was up to around 1k 3 weeks ago.
Tripple Liverpool for the double not enough since I picked the wrong ones.

If Auba score a hattrick tomorrow it will give a big boost and a green arrow probably. Just two goals should be enough to get me safely into top 10k again though. 1 goal might too since so few got him.
I guess to bet against Salah failed since I knew almost everyone would have him captained. Didn't expect Southampton to be that bad to be honest.

I've had Mahrez for a few weeks but I feel like it's time to get rid. I just can't see much value in midfield at the moment.

Salah going up to 12.7m by the looks of it! :eek:

Just done Lundstram > Lascelles

I might bring in someone from Leicester soon. Probably Perez. Martial needs to go though. Noble is pure crap and Cantwell is no good. My squad is a complete mess right now and I have only my stupid transfers to blame. Mane injury ruined a lot so that was bad luck, but I would still struggle even with him.

I want Fernandez for defense, but is he worth a hit to bring in? After Arsenal I might go for him.
Could be a good time for Jiminez and Traore now. Going to get one of them soon.
Keeping Lundstram might cost value though since he will drop fast once people understand that he got dropped. Luckily people didn't understand it before this week so that gave more time.

Abraham or Martial out first is tricky or if should just keep them.
Need to think well now since taking a -12 to sort things out will probably hurt more than it does good. Got 6 players I want out, but I might only be forced to play 4 of them. I also want to downgrade Robertson to Gomez, but that is another transfer.

With two weeks to go and him playing against Arsenal away next. Mad man there.
Or do you have a great squad you like already?
Oh I'm probably keeping Lascelles on the bench for that. But I'm planning ahead for the blank GW28 and beyond. I'll still have wildcard, free hit & bench boost to use for the latter DGW's. Lundstram is dropping in price quick and no longer a regular starter, get him out now. Always rated Lascelles and he makes Newcastle a lot stronger at the back.

I've kinda screwed myself over by doing Vardy > Aguero. I'm struggling to upgrade the cheaper midfield options now. A few weeks ago I was looking pretty, now there's a few fires to put out; Do I really want Snodgrass long term ? And Cantwell has gone off the boil now, could downgrade to a Dedoncker or Hayden. And I really need Mane fit for the next GW. Might have to take a -4 if he isn't.

McCarthy
TAA Robertson Soyuncu
Mane Martial KDB Snodgrass
Aguero Ings Jimenez

bench: button, rico, lascelles, cantwell. 1.3m funds.

Game week 28 I think they're referring to I think. No game for City, Sheffield, Villa, Arsenal and Bournemouth.

I've still got my free hit so it's all good.
Yep thats all correct - except Bournemouth do play Chelsea that week

No idea what to do with Lundstram. I can only get £4.5m. If he’s not going to play, there aren’t really defenders at the same price who will. I also have Williams who may or may not play. On the other hand my three remaining defenders are Dunk, TAA and Gomez who should play, and my midfield is good so I’ll probably play 3 at the back for the rest of season, so perhaps I should be dumping Lundstram for someone very cheap and upgrade Traore or Cantwell?
Lascelles definitely. 4.2 great fixtures.

I benched Lundstram, but not that it matters much. Abraham and Ings have done nothing.Cantwell at least might give me a clean sheet point so that is 2 points won and maybe more.

I should have realised it should have been an even number of teams.

Lascelles looks like a decent option.

I'm thinking of ditching Martial, possibly for Maddison as United don't have great run of fixtures coming up and he's out form.

Martial is definitely a liability atm doesn't look like scoring or assisting. I'm thinking of doing Vardy + Martial for Jimenez + Son

Is Ings gonna start scoring again or what?

Anyone watch Saints regularly? What's the deal with him atm?
I don't watch them regularly but he was unlucky not to score against Liverpool.

They've a decent run coming up as well so I'm keeping him in.

Does anyone else think his goals have dried up for the foreseeable?


I already have Lacelles, sitting on my bench, whilst Lundstram came on for 1 minute.
Ouch

75 with Aguero and KDB to go, plus 2 points coming in from the bench. Could be an ok week if spurs don't turn up

Going to go with a Newcastle defender to replace Lundstram. Just need to decide who. Baring in mind Rose is going to come in, probably, who’s playing left back at the moment? Best to avoid them?

Take your time though. Arsenal away next.
Fernandez is probably the safe bet.

Has Lascelles or Fernandez been playing at left back, aren't they both centre backs?

I have him and I'm keeping him but I am wary about his mini-drought - got rid of Vardy too. Thinking about Jimenez

Won’t be a starter anyway. I need to make a transfer this week as I have two free. Need to get rid of either Lundstram, Grealish or Maupay (still not sure why he didn’t start last game).

Jeez. Without Snodgrass I'd have 23pts. Snodgrass!!!! Very lucky. Sitting on 41 with KDB and Captain Aguero. Come on Citeh!

How likely is it that Mane will be back for GW 26?

Yeah if you got two then it is a more obvious move. How do you got two after the double? I guess you didn't have Mane? I wish I had 10.

I went for Salah/Firminho and didn’t have any need for a transfer this week. Normally try and roll it over, as you can do so much more with two.

Bloody Aubameyang. Unhappy with everything this week so far apart from one guy. Henderson. Finally a big haul when I start him.

Pep will probably take him off for Jesus now. Poor ending to the week. Glad to take a break now from FPL.

Can KDB take pens? Never seen him do it. Everyone else is missing, but he never gets the chance.
Even if he doesn't want to take them Pep should tell him to do it.
With his shooting ability he should be able to bomb them in easily.

I see no reason why he would not be good at them. Unless he gets too nervous or something.

Sterling owners are so unlucky if they exist. Had he got a red you would be forced to sell him which would do your team good!
