Are people sticking with Bowen or dumping him? Looks like he’ll be back next gw

Need to get rid of Mitoma, was thinking of Doku, created loads of chances and was very lively. With Pep though rotation is always a concern. Opinions?

Knew it was a risky decision to captain Son, that’s the game sadly. He’s just too hit and miss this season to be a reliable captain. Just be sensible and stick with Haaland every week ffs :lol:

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Haha! It’s good for a big red in all my leagues.
How bad is your week?
On a scale of 1-sh!te, about an 8.

But that Watkins goal helps as captained him. Not that it shoots me up to the top scorers, more cancels out the Haaland captain group of players and drags me from dog-awful to mediocrity.

Could be worse. I could be a “content creator” and have screamed “Gibbs White is the best differential, you idiots” for weeks… then sold him before this game week when he gets 12. Naming no names obviously … cough (Crellin) cough.

Yeah it's boring but it never feels right deviating from Haaland or Salah. Feels like you get punished 90% of the time.

Maybe it's Son that has to go. Infuriating. Gonna think about it a bit.
It's tricky because even though I think Spurs will get trounced that's the sort of game he'll score one on the counter in a 5-1 loss. Like you said he had the ball in the net 3 times today and the first was a lovely finish off a marginal decision. He's also at a tricky price point to get back with his rises.

I'm gonna wait this week for Bowen news but the order to go for me (assuming they're all fit) is Martinelli>Bowen>Son.

Next week is a captaincy nightmare. My entire team is playing at home. Salah and Darwin at home to Fulham. Saka at home to Wolves. Mbuemo at home to Luton and Haaland at home to Spurs.

Comes down to Salah, Haaland and Mbuemo.

Haaland easy decision for me. He'll be licking his lips playing against that high line. Hoping for hauls from both him and Alvarez.

Maguire cleanie :drool::drool:

Makes up for the Lascelles benched 7 now as was never leaving Trippier out for Lascelles.

59 is reasonable this week.

Mbeumo going up tonight and Bowen going down. Better to save the 0.2 value or wait for information?

Rage sold Cash for Gabriel
I don't really blame you.

Past 10 weeks:
Cash 5.1m = 23
Gabriel 4.9m = 33

Other cheaper defenders outperforming him over the same period:

Zinchenko 5.0m = 51
Thiago Silva 5.0m = 28
Ake 5.0m = 30
Dalot 5.0m = 48
Akanji 4.9m = 25
Romero 4.9m = 24
Guehi 4.7m = 33
Mitchell 4.7m = 39

There'll be many more but that will do for now.

He's been the worst starting Villa defender to have too:
Pau 4.6m = 38
Konsa 4.5m = 25
Digne = 4.7m 23

Matches Digne but Digne is cheaper.

46 pts from 9 players.

Forgetting to log in and use my two subs after the International break has killed me there. Had Mitoma, Bowen and Cash in my first team and only Digne on my bench played. I've been trying to ditch Cash for weeks as well.

I've done Cash, Mitoma, Morris to Mbeumo, Gabriel and Wissa.

I'm holding on to Bowen for now. It's he likely to pay next game does anyone know?

Not the worst score, I got 42 all out.

Ahhh it's just annoying cos I missed the transfers and could have jumped up my money league in work from a pitiful 9th place. I nearly won it last year but was pipped at the post into 2nd place and I've got a reverse Midas touch going on as everything I touch turns to crap this year :lol:

I'm bringing Doku in as I reckon he'll have a field day vs Spurs' high line. I wouldn't worry about rotation just yet as there was talk of Alvarez being the one to make way for Grealish vs Liverpool before he got ill. You just need to make sure you have enough cover for their blank GW in a few weeks

Two shit transfers in a row for me. Bowen this week and Martinelli the week before. I can correct one later this week at least.

Mbeumo is obvious but are there any spicy differentials worth looking at? Own Gordon Salah and Son as well.

If City didn't blank I quite fancy Doku. In fact I might look at making a plan to get Watkins in for Alvarez for gw18 (finally) and then Doku for the double instead.

Want to get rid of Cash, Martinelli, Diaby and Alvarez and replace with Gabriel, Mbuemo, Kudos and Isak.
Is it wort doing a -4 two weeks in a row for this? Cash and Martinelli out to next week and Diaby and Alvarez out for the next.
