Next fixture single, not fixtures plural.
Yeah. He can be kept.
I've done Toney to Jimenez. Gonna have Livro coming off the bench for Antonio who is playing City and can well be a 0. So thinking if I should go ahead and get say Bamford instead of Antonio, which would essentially be a -2. Given all this is for 2-3 GWs before I WC and I doubt I will keep Antonio then.
I feel like I keep having decent weeks but so does everyone else around me. Almost all of the popular picks seem to be doing well so you never feel like you're pulling ahead.
Why the heck is everyone after Jimenez? He got 6 pts from playing four 90-min games. It is just wishful thinking he will go back to old form
Edit: I got him in my draft because everyone else was picked. Got me 1 pt today.

Chelsea and City really are nightmares now when it comes to this game. They have far too many players.
It looks like only Mendy, Rudiger and Lukaku are nailed on for Chelsea, and only Ederson, Dias, Grealish and a fit de Bruyne for City.
They are a minefield but can’t jump off Torres until he is inevitably left out against Southampton!

Yeah it is definitely hopeful. It's just that their attack looks good and have piss easy fixtures compared to the 3 out of 4 you mentioned at the start of the season. For 2-3 games he's a decent punt. I would have preferred DCL or Bamford but short on funds and he's the best option from sub 7.5 ones.
Need to fix a couple of issues in my team (Amartey and Armstrong) but can't bare seeing Kane, so out for Ronnie. Team for next week
Sanchez
TAA Duffy Ayling
Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma Bissouma
Armstrong Ronaldo
Ward, Livra, Amartey, Antonio.

That 4.5m Wolves defender getting double digits is an intriguing one, but I think I very urgently need to do what you've done with Toney, as in ship him.
DCL is probably still first choice, but Bamford might be a more interesting option as that leaves a tidy little 0.7m bank to deal elsewhere.
One aspect is money thing as Jiminez is only 7.4m, versus 7.9 for Bamford and 8.3m for DCL.
Superb next 3 fixtures too. But we probably need to see him get at least one goal first.
Think I'll watch Leeds tomorrow. If Bamford looks good I'll get him for Antonio.
Damn, Lukaku last min goal to equal Ronaldo.
Not many have him in my league though, only saving grace.

Lukaku with another in injury time. feck off
Annoying goal from the troll. 6-7 pointer
Feck sake.
Nice post.It’s also good Lukaku hasn’t run riot.

For one horrible moment, I thought my now tv was behind, and he'd scored two in injury time
Changed my captaincy of Lukaku to Salah before kickoff
Best one was in my league, a guy had brought in Ronaldo yet captained Antonio..
Minus 2 pointer!

My mate captained Lukaku. 26 point gain is a killer. Hopefully DCL and TAA can come up with something for me.
Thanks to you I brought Ronnie in instead of the DCL plan. It would have been such a horrible watch not owning him. Not sure what to do when Lukakus fixtures turn great at GW7 and ours get worse. Is Ronnie a season keeper and we all ditch Salah to get Lukaku?
This was the absolute crux of it that took any doubt out for me.
I've done that a couple of times in euro competitions cursing my idiocy.
Very difficult with the Lukaku situation. It'll be hard to ditch Ronaldo, so it might be a case we have to use our wildcards and go both, with a chimpy 4.5m attacker makeweight and reduce defence a little. Wildcard seems built for such things.
I definitely wouldn’t be ditching Salah for Lukaku. Chelsea have Spurs and City next, while Liverpool have Palace and Brentford
Looking at it, it's fairly easy to get Lukaku & Ronaldo in there. Would be a simple 2 transfer play. Antonio & Toney (+2.2m in the bank) to Lukaku and 4.5m, with 0.3m spare.
But not for 2 weeks, as Lukaku has 2 hard games coming.

Kick a man while he's down?
Ronaldo gets 6 more than Bruno? Would've more than covered the -4... making all the right decisions had to come to an end. It was fun while it lasted...
That's right. I did say Gameweek 7 though
Bruno 8, Ronaldo 13, so could definitely have been worse for the Bruno crew.Kick a man while he's down?

Other weeks it might reverse, and it's a long season.
Someone said they will captain Ronaldo every week. But Liverpool have a home banker next week, so will be hard to go against Salah.
Worked out well. Just gutted he didn't get the hat-trick!
I saw that 90th min 4-1 pop up and thought it had to be him for the perfect story.
Lingard, with all due respect was the greatest anti climax ever
Have you still got Salah?
Pretty pissed that i sold Lukaku but for him and dross i got Dias and DCL. Dias delivered. Now i hope DCL will do it too
Have you got TAA? I'm looking at TAA and Antonio out for Rudiger and Lukaku. That might be the way to sort it
A bit disrespectful to Palace to call them a home banker when they just beat Spurs 3-0
To be honest, in my lineup, even with TAA, Salah, Ronaldo it works fairly easily, probably because I don't have much wad in midfield beyond Salah.
Could do the below in 2 transfers
Sanchez (Foster)
TAA, Coufal, Shaw, White, Tsim
Salah, Gray, Benrahma, Greenwood (Gilmour)
Ronaldo Lukaku 4.5m
The main flaw would be that Gilmour or a 4th defender would have to play each week.
And it'd be getting a little tight with a non player Tsim, non player striker, and a chimpy 2 point merchant in Gilmour for any unexpected rotations etc.
Might be better to wait for a wildcard, when I can reduce Coufal and sort out Tsim into the bargain too. See if Shaw is earning his corn etc.
Will chose from 1 of 3 options this week and go from there
- Toney to DCL
- Toney to Bamford
- Gilmour to Raphina
Palace beating a Son-less 10men team with no centre backs fit, with a hyped up last 10mins does not change them being banker fare at Anfield.
After United (ban), five of the next six games include Leeds, Villa, Spurs, Liverpool and Everton. Not saying he won’t score but on top of a ban (£8m on the bench), it’s a toughish run
They also drew with West Ham in the last GW. Palace being very underestimated this season
