Yeah, no doubt about it.

There's no reason why he shouldn't. Currently.
I think they mentioned in the Green arrow podast (Fergi and Rich) that Reguilon were on some set pieces.
Apparently Porro has a muscular problem.
Thankfully there's no Friday game which always makes the decision more awkward!
Of course he has, fecking useless shite.
He's been on both corners and set pieces the last two games. The only doubt is that it's Brentford and their fixtures are terrible. If I go for him I got good enough cover to bench him in 27 and 28, so should be fine.
Porro niggle you say?
Rest up for 2 weeks my shit prince.

Musing on a few things.
Alvarez or Watkins to Darwin or Tony
Someone out to Van D.
I have Maguire, Trippier, Gabriel as my defence this week though which is solid.
And Alvarez out pre double screams mistake.
I'm on Watkins to Darwin, then reverse it next game week at the moment.

I have:
Raya
Turner
Mengi
Doughty
Burn
Braithwaite
Lascelles
Saka
KDB
Foden
Palmer
Maddison
Solanke
Haaland
Watkins
Wondering if I should do Maddison to Jota this week, then Jota to Garnacho and Lascelles to Gabriel (-4pts) OR do Palmer to Garnacho this week then do Lascelles to Gabriel (-0pts)…???
Second options allows me a bit more flexibility in terms of selection as I can then drop Watkins to the bench for this away to Fulham..

I don't have any thoughts on that but I did just throw up a little in my mouth when I saw that defence.
I'd be happy to keep both Jalv and Twatkins tbh. What's the knock on effect of this Okey Dokey transfer? Any hits needed for 26, 28, 29?
I also got Toney so was hoping for a couple cheeky assists to Toney
It just seems like a mistake not to have Jota during a DGW but the blank makes it awkward to be fair.
Oh this is very interesting info, thanks. I was wondering why people were keen on Reguilon
It makes him alot more interesting mate, especially when you know he has 3 games the next 2 GWs!
Just looked through his numbers. Er... he's managed 1 assist all season and only started 6 times and come on as a sub a number of times. I'm guessing the blanks are injuries, but still...It makes him alot more interesting mate, especially when you know he has 3 games the next 2 GWs!
This is the key thing. It's quite a unique situation for a double with an immediate blank for several teams straight after. I think some are falling into a trap of thinking that they're getting an extra game but leaving themselves short for the week after. It's quite likely you'd be bringing in a Liverpool player who plays less over the next 2 gameweeks then a single game week player. A shame as well because the fixtures for a double are excellent in Liverpool's case.
Tbf most of that season was on the bench with us. He's only just started playing for Brentford.
Hahaha, well don't I look silly
He was benched for Udogie first half of season at Spurs well pre season and he was out of favour. At United he played when Shaw and Malacia was out and had a small injury there. Brentford dont have any LBs so he will play and he got assist first match for Brentford.
Oh I see what you did there after clocking who you support.
I'll see what I can do about escalating your imminent ban.
I only currently have Jota and Palmer from the missing a game in 26 crew. And Lascelles as a non starter.
So Darwin in then back to Watkins can work.
Then have 2 weeks to get Solanke and or a Luton player in for their doubles.
Yeah that'd work for you then in terms of 26 and you can deal with 29 as it becomes clearer how many blanks there are.
Will see how tomorrow pans out.
It's odds on some unexpected unavailability comes to light that tweaks the best laid plan.
I have only Haaland for the double and TC but happy not to chase the doubles who inevitably disappoint.
Still, I have a FT and can get a Jota and not convinced by the City attackers, except Foden.
I'm also not set up well to get back Salah without a -4. Porro being potentially out is a pain, as I wanted to get funds from Trippier... So difficult but one thing is clear - FH29 and WC30 for me.

Getting second thoughts about my backline. Need to bench one of these :
Porro at home against Wolves
Saliba away at Burnley
Trippier at home to Bou
Currently Porro is at the bench, any thoughts guys?

He moved to Brentford 4 weeks ago, 1 sub and 2 starts (last two). Has been on set pieces and corners in the two games he started and produced great numbers and an assist in tose two games. Will probably be nailed in the left WB pos for the rest of the season. FYI he played for us the first half of the season (hence why he didn't get many minutes)
Porro didn't train and has a muscle issue apparently.
There is injury rumors regarding Porro and Udogie roaming around. I't very likely Porro will not play this GW.
Note I already have Darwin & Palmer and so will struggle to field XI in 26 without a hit in option 1, 2 and 3 below:
Trent & Richy --> VVD & Jota (4pt hit)
Trent & Richy --> Ake & Jota (4pt hit)
Trent & Richy --> KDB & Saliba (4pt hit)
Trent & Richy --> KDB & VVD (4pt hit)
KDB and Saliba route is pretty safe as both teams will play for the next couple gameweeks & I don't know how Salah's return will affect Jota. Problem is how high Jota's ceiling is..
Right now favouring KDB & Saliba - but keen to hear peoples thoughts. My only other doublers are Darwin & Foden. Trent would essentially move to a non doubler in Saliba which feels a bit backwards, but Saliba has some great fixtures ahead.

Why don't you let Palmer go in stead of Richy?
KDB & Saliba looks like the best long term long term option (unless you go for a defender who has a fixture in 29 in stead of Saliba)
Thanks!
Richy and Palmer both blank in GW26 and I feel Palmer is just as big a point magnet. If I sell him I don't recoup as much plus I'll lose 0.3m when I try to buy him back.
I joined the Richy bandwagon very late, and dont know how he'll fare when Son is back in the full swing of things.
Plus City always tend to concede a goal and if they do vs Chelsea there's a good chance Palmer is involved.
That unexpected Ake rise last night has put a right spanner in my plans.
Conor Bradley, silly risk? I have Konsa injured on the bench so he could replace him and he has a double this week. He’s back in training so surely has a shot of playing both games with TAA and was looking great before the death of his father. Obviously they blank the week after though and of course he likely won’t be a regular starter once TAA is back.
Take the point for the double game week for a potential big short term game or save the transfer for next week instead? Just feels like he could score big in this DGW for them.

Yeah it's shit but I'm selling Trent so don't care about the money.
I'm not taking the risk as he might be behind Gomez in the queue. Gomez has been fantastic at right back filling in for Trent and equally good at left back filling in for Robertson and Bradley only got a game because Gomez was occupied at left back when Robertson was injured.
I hope it turns out Bradley is the preferred option though, as he's unreal value at 4.1.
The last 9 they have played (Not counting Palmers yellow card ban) :
Richy (9 goals) 73 points
Palmer (6 goals + 3 assists) 72 points
Richy also has a game in 29, which means 1 less transfer if you planning to not FH then.
Richy's next 5 games: Wolves (H), blank, Palace (H), Villa (A), Fulham (A)
Palmers next 5 games: City (A), blank, Brentford (A), Newcastle (H), blank
One more fixture, better fixtures and Spurs on better form the Chelsea.
I know which one of those I would put my money on for most points between now and 29 (+ the saved transfer)
With the form Richy's been in the last 2 months, do you really think Ange's not going to play him up top?
I have both in my team and will let Palmer and TAA go for KDB and most likely Reguilon this week. I'll buy him back on my WC in 30/31.
Whyyy??
It boils down to do I think Jota will outscore Maddison by at least 4 points this game week?
KDB and VVD looks like the play to me if you can mange the blanks? If not then Salina probably plays for the most reliable defence in the league. Any reason for Saliba instead of Gabriel out of interest? Pennies will count if/when you get desperate for some of the big hitters that are back..
Got ake before the price rise for TAA( small victory) …. Thinking about -4 getting someone for Palmer with KDB on my list with Doku a 2nd option
