My four starting midfielders are currently Salah, Gundogan, Bruno and Raphinha with Saka on the bench. I want to bring Foden in for City's two games over the next week but as crazy as it sounds, I'm considering the idea of selling Salah to bring in Foden for just one week. Is that idea too crazy to consider?

Coufal, DCL, Son and Bamford.

Which three to bench?

Currently thinking to bench Son, DCL and Coufal...

Anyone considering wildcarding this week? My squad is decent but with so many the same/similar I feel like the only way to make decent ground and make this more interesting is really targetting these doubles from now through to GW29. My first draft is

Martinez/Pope
Digne/Dallas/Dias/Tarkowski/Vestergaard
Bruno/Raphinha/Ward Prowse/Gundogan/Foden
Kane/Ings/Bamford

6 doubles in 24, 6 in 25, 14 hopefully in 26 and 6 hopefully in 27. Transfers planned to bring Son/Grealish/Dier in with 26 and 29 in mind

So really need advice here.

Martinez
Lowton, Cancelo, Stones, Coufal
Bruno, Gundogan(c), Grealish, Salah
Bamford, Antonio

Subs: Forster, DCL, Son, Dallas

My plan is to swap Coufal and DCL to Kane and a cheap defender (maybe Alioski) next week and then swap Antonio for Watkins for the week after.

But DCL has most likely Soton and West Brom in the DGW26... doesnt get much better than that.

Is it worth going ahead with my plan or shall I think about keeping DCL?
We’ve got the same squad, bar Rashford for Son and Mitchell for Lowton.I’ve got no idea what I’m going to do yet, but unless we get definite information on Antonio or DCL, I’ll probably roll the transfer.

My mini league leader made the mother of all feck ups this week and didn’t realise there was FA cup fixtures mid week (so he claims). He brought in DCL and Digne to beat the rises. Added to this he has Justin, Wilson and Antonio:lol:

DCL is awkward. You want him properly fit, or out for a few weeks. Half measure is difficult as City away isn't a good fixture, but is it best to keep him for week 26? Probably too far away for that.

Justin is bad, especially as it sounded like early talk of a bad injury wasn't correct. Worse injury than ever before.
Him to Shaw seems the way to go there. Probably better than doubling on Burnley.

Dias sounds every chance of doubling.

I was going to save a transfer but no point now. Not sure who I should transfer him out for though.

I currently have Shaw, Cancelo, Dallas and Lowton with Martinez and Meslier as my keepers. I have £6.8m to play with but ideally I'd like to get a cheaper player as I'm looking to bring Kane in at some point soon. Any suggestions for defenders to bring in considering the next few weeks?

I'm going for Lowton who you already have.
How many City players do you have? Really need to be tripling up on them with their form and DGWs coming up. Maybe Stones/Dias if you have the budget?

I don't trust Pep and given their fixtures aren't easy I'm wary of bringing in too many City players. The problem is I can't think of better alternatives.

I have Coufal, Targett, Shaw and Dias already. Any non-City suggestions in place of Justin?

How is Matty Cash doing?

How often to you play with 5 defenders? I would go for Mitchell at Crystal Palace he's only 3.9 and use the money saved on the rest of your squad.

I've taken a -4 hit this week just taken James Justin out and put Ben Mee in as next 3 Burnley games looks like a couple of chances for a clean sheet so not really a bad hit.

If it's a FT, why not bring in a Burnley defender for the double? Lowton is cheap enough to play and bench when you don't need him.
Get a player with some doubles 24 to 29. Dallas, Vestergaard/Bednarek or Tarkowski/Mee perhaps
Mee Vs Lowton? Is Mee worth the extra 0.5M?

Not really sold on getting Soton players. They face Chelsea and Leeds for the double.

Is Justin's price locked? I'm not sure who to take him out for and given he's last on my bench, I might save the transfer in the hope that there's clarity on the blank and DGWs soon.

So DCL out... now whether Coufal or Son to come in. I usually go with the attacker due to the bigger upside so probably Son.

I just need DCL to not drop in price today, or my Kane transfer is fecked :lol:

I'm going Lowton, the extra 0.5m allows me to swap Antonio for Kane next week.
Mee is more of a goal threat though, and Lowton has registered no goals or assists this season.

I will go for Mee. I have lot of Kane money lying in the bank to get him back.

So is everyone putting DCL on bench already? Or are you guys expecting him to come in in the second game.

100% DCL is benched. He's not playing Fulham. So it's either DCL vs. a strong City defence or Bamford vs a shaky Arsenal defence. Bamford all day in that case.

I have already got Bamford in. So if I bench DCL, it means that I need to pull my midfielder/defender up. And I have Maddison vs Pool on the bench or get in and go 4 defenders Dias, Mee and two out of Shaw/Coufal/Targett

Shaw playing WBA and Coufal playing Sheff United. Either of those are good options.

Easy. Justin out. His season is over. Dallas maybe in prep for the double next week.

Or one of the defenders doubling this week.

Depends on who you want to bench.

Jesus what have I done. I've just taken a hit to bring in Pope and Mee for Fabianski and Konsa.

Going to be playing 3 Burnley defenders.

I'd seriously be tempted to (triple) captain Pope on top of that. Their two fixtures are exactly the kind of fixtures Dyche lives for. Two opponents with rubbish attackers who will be forced to take random potshots from distance and boost Pope's save count + bonus potential.

Two clean sheets and potentially 60-80 points from the defensive trio.

I don't have my triple captain but I am thinking to captain Tarkowski because he has not scored this season and is due a goal me thinks.

Edit: Just realised why didn't I take out McCarthy instead haha. Tbh it ok because I'm going to WC soon.

Sorry it’s probably been asked previously, but are Burnley expecting a double in 26 and a game during the blank gameweek?

How to replace Justin?

Dallas next week? Mee/Lowton this week?

Both get doubles and I am happy to have them for the future.
