Opinions on my current team? First year in ages taking it seriously due to the league I'm in at work with too many cocky feckers.

Schmeichel
Rudiger-White-Cresswell-Reguilon
Son-Salah-Gallagher-Gray
Saint-Maxamin - Lukaku

Bench: Gunn- Adam Armstrong - Pinnock - Torres

I started with completely the wrong team but have managed to make quite a few changes to get this current team that tbf I quite like. Any changes you would make? Any must haves? Just replaced Shaw with Rudiger. Need to get Schmeichel out but waiting for a gameweek to do it without the -4.
Torres on the bench is a chunk of cash?

Stick him in and if he plays, fine. If he doesn’t, Cresswell as first sub. Only issue is if he comes on 86th min

Seems daft for him to not play vs Everton but then still go on international duty.

Clubs don’t need much of a reason to stop a player from joining up with their country.
If he isn’t playing tomorrow, hope United withdraw him and tell England to go feck themselves… the only positive is getting some game time but Southgate is shit at managing players/clubs (and at managing full stop but that’s another story)

Thinking of doing TAA to Cancelo instead of Chelsea defender. I know they are playing liverpool, but he's been super involved in their attack and looks pretty nailed. I'd have him for the GWs after next as well.

Which 2 out of Son/Saka/Sarr?
Avoid Son because Spurs are a shambles. And just look at Watford's fixtures until mid-December. I'd definitely choose Saka, both him and ESR are well priced at the moment.

I meant whom to pick this week. Son is going out soon. And Sarr definitely after this week.

I already got Dias, but really want Cancelo too for the future. Need super expensive defensive line though with TAA and Rudiger as well.

I think it’s better to have expensive defenders this year cause the midfielders from like 7-12m are all shit.

The greatest team in history
So I'm gonna wait on an expected team leak tomorrow and
  • If Shaw is out > Cancelo/Dias in for -4
  • If Greenwood is out > Raphinha/Saka/Gallagher in for -4 (still trying to find out if Raph will miss games coming back to the UK from abroad but that's my order of preference)
  • If Ronaldo is out > Lukaku in for -4 and captain him
If they're all playing I'll just sit on it and reassess the week after. Decided against double Chelsea defence for now with all the uncertainty and I have a sneaky suspicion Saints might score.

Where I got to is that you would need to lose Trent, and if you do that it’s very workable.

Not sure it’s worth it and I’d typically always take TAA, but if you were to play two Chelsea defenders as two of your three then that alone should guarantee points from defence.
Trent’s injury coupled with a lack of defensive cover has forced my hand here and I’ve WCed to get Lukaku in.

Where is there leaking team news? Any places to look?

Risk Shaw with only Williams on the bench, or -4 for Rudiger?

I am thinking of just sticking since he would have to get a clean sheet or a goal to make up for the hit anyway?

It is a bit different, but not sure I would trust Spurs that much. Although Kane and Son will eventually get going.

I would run from Torres, but you never know with Pep when players get a run. Now it looks like Sterling and Jesus playing up front though over Torres.

Yeah I only recently brought Torres in but was too late to the party, by the time I did City had stopped playing him up front. He's a cheaper option to the big guns but I think I made the mistake of taking him over Jota who was a similar price, just didn't want to have Jota and Salah both in my team.

Done my transfer and taken my first hit of the season.

The plan was to do Bamford to Jimenez but did Brownhill back to Raphinha instead as Raphinha about to rise in price. Taking him out originally was a mistake...

Now I have a bench of TAA, Bamford and Tsimikas so I better pray my starting IX all play :lol:

Looks like the TAA/Shaw injuries are pushing Rudiger, Alonso and Cancelo for a double rise week.... be nice if that paid off from my WC week.

Not set on anything yet..... 3 Chelsea players for their cushy run or not dunno, need to get a template in soon because I tend to miss the deadline too often on Saturday(Ronaldo's debut for instance!!!).

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
Really cannot decide between Ron or Rom Cap…

I have a really strong feeling that one of them is gonna go mental and the other one is gonna blank - but I have no idea which one!

I hate capping the early kick off… but Southampton are better defensively than Everton, and Chelsea aren’t good in attack.

What do you guys think? (I have them both btw)

Lukaku I reckon. I’m a bit unsure on Ronnies minutes. I’m debating whether to make the transfer but it’s -4 so think I’ll keep CR7.

Need help chaps. I have 8.1mil to spend on a midfielder but not sure who to go with. Suggestions? Grealish and Sarr are the obvious two but are there any other candidates? Already have Benrahama, Gray and Raphina. Cheers

I’d do it on a WC - alonso, rudi, Lukaku.

Others to get on WC: Raph, Salah, cancelo/TAA, antonio, sarr, greenwood if no Ronaldo.
