I'd forgotten I had a team for this. Andre Gomes is in my midfield :nervous:.

Somehow there's two Caf users below me in the table (I'm 778th). Whoever they are, they should be ashamed.

Two FT's for gw28. Thinking of the following

Aguero > Lewin
Snodgrass > Son

McCarthy
TAA Soy Robbo
Mane KDB Martial Son
Lewin Ings Jimenez

Son had to miss that penalty and lose 2 points, same with Mane yesterday getting that pointless yellow card.

At least you avoid relegation to fantasy championship :)

I think you can cope when he's scored a hattrick!
To be honest he should have scored 4 /5 goals today, very wasteful, but can't really complain looks like 13 points with bonus.

He's my vice captain too, so not too bothered if Aguero is benched now.

My vice too. Seems to be better to pick the vice one than first captain.
The pressure of being in my side is too high for these players ;).

ahhhhhh that Son display could hurt a little. Was asking for a bit too much expecting both him and Salah to have low scoring weeks. Taking a -4 to get him before he rises.

It was finally a transfer that worked for me. Although Marital might score 2 as well ;).

Martial needs to deliver vs Chelsea. Been blanking for too long.

Once Villa are back after GW28 I can do a midfield of Mane, KDB, Son, Grealish, Richarlison to see the season out. Lets see how Bruno fits in, he could catch fire.

My thinking too, but Salah for Mane. Means selling Vardy for Calvert, but probably worth it.

Team currently

Henderson
Button

Soyuncu
Gomez
Lascelles
Lundstram
Basham

Salah
Mane
Maddison
De Bruyne
Hayden

Aubameyang
Ings
Greenwood

Have no money

Was thinking of taking out Salah as don't see benefit of having him and Mane at the same time, and Madisson hasn't had a good GW in a while but have some good fixtures after City which is why I am going to keep Soyuncu.

Salah - Son
Lundstram - VVD/ Robertson

leaves me with 0.6 if I chose VVD so was then going to change Madison for Richarlison or BRUNO

What you guys think

It feels very tricky at the moment. Brain struggles.
Son I think was a good investment and think he can do well even in the harder games.

Although not sure what I should do with my team long or short term.
De Bruyne, Salah and Aubamayeng are good, but might sell to free up cash.

Abraham to go maybe, but to whom? I guess Lewin, but he got hard games.
Defense is a mess, but I just got to hope that Lundstram plays.

I'm on 35pts for the week but have Aguero (C) and KDB still to come. Need a big Aguero haul here really.

I was 185k before the Spurs game. Now 213k. Let's go Aguero.

Agree. Mane and Salah is overkill. You’ll then struggle to pick a captain from the 2 which will create unnecessary headaches. Pick one, stick with em. They amount roughly the same points over the season and you can strengthen other areas namely your defence. Any reason why no TAA?
A Leicester full back is a strong shout, Chilwell or Pereira. A ‘dark horse’ is Grealish. Yes they blank in GW28 and they concede a lot but anything good is through him. I’m getting him in after the blank and leaving him.
My current watchlist consists of Fleck, Tarkowski, H. Barnes, Doherty, Pepe, Doucoure, Bruno.

Since Salah didn't do anything one goal scould take you pretty high.

My week going pretty well with Double clean sheets and plus Lundstram, Ings, Son(2x) and Auba goals.
Got two players left too in Abraham and De bruyne. Hope Abraham blanks though.

Basically all my other forward or midfielders did well apart from Salah.

Good week for you then.

I'm kinda relying on City (and Aguero especially) taking out their FFP anger on Westham. I think Pep is more likely to rest players vs Leicester now given that game is only a few days before the Madrid game and also that their league position now is almost irrelevant.

Had TAA at the start and didn't really do much took him out a few weeks before he hit the big GWs :lol:. At 7.7 he is too expensive for me I think could get him if done the following

Salah - Son
Madisson - Grealish
Lundstram - TAA

Think I would rather go VVD and keep the leftover change to upgrade Madison to Bruno or Richarlison

Unexpected goal from Martial. Shame he couldn't even get 1 bonus point out of it!

Be thankful for the 4 points, he's been really poor lately.

That miss he had in the first half worried me. But he scored and plays Watford at home next, you're not going to take him out.

Long term injury for Son. Limits to be tested in the coming weeks

This has become boring for me. I'm some 70 points ahead of 2nd place in my league while having a much superior team and larger budget, which means I've basically already won it with 12 games to spare. Second year that our league with mates exists and it will be my second title, great.

I think I won't mess with my team too much until the end of season, barring injuries.

Pope / Button
TAA / Gomez / Williams / Dunk / Lascelles
Grealish / Salah / De Bruyne / Traore / Cantwell
Aguero / Aubameyang / Calvert-Lewin

For god sake.. Thought he'd be fine considering he finished the Villa game. Another week with Cantwell in the starting xi is not ideal.

That's really annoying.

So who are the best Son replacements?

Still feel a bit embarrassed about Maguire's points.

Could (should?) have been negative but end up with 15.

Schmeicel, Maguire, Egan, Soyunco, VVD = 41 points.

Looking for big City reaction and hattricks for KDB and Aguero.
Just the two hattricks?!

Son injury must have caught a few people out who made early transfers! I'd chuffed as the guy ahead of me just brought him in.

Oh dear...70 points is not much - a 6 points better average each week , not impossible. You may regret that ! Last year I was 100 points away from top at this point of the season and ended up drawing on the last day in my mini league. Bloody annoying to be exactly the same points after 38 weeks.

Yeah lession learn is to not haste in life so much. I had Son in before this week for Martial. Getting back would give pretty even hehe.
