Wait for news. If Lukaku is out and Rudiger you can maybe sell them or take out Alonso.

Do Ronaldo to Lukaku now or after this GW?
I agree that Luiz is better option than Brownhill but I just feel the extra 0.2 over the long term will come in more hand than a player who will usually be my third sub.
I'm ok with Mbuemo but Hwang is my big worry. He's at that price point that makes moving him to another player a nightmare. Luckily, I have money in the bank to deal with this. I looked at Foden a lot but I don't think I want to play Pep roulette. City have games surrounding their next 3 league matches and you just know that's asking for trouble.
This is a good plan. I have other moves in mind so can't do that. Luckily, I have a good bench now to cover absentees.
I have kept enough money in the bank but I want that there for flexibility. TAA looks great for Watford but Alison is missing next game so I can see Liverpool conceding. Then their fixtures a bit shit until they face Soton later down the line.
I meant settling for todayYou’re settling on this? Really?
(kidding)
I wouldn’t be bringing in Rom now (I say this as an owner).
I think there’s a very good chance that his run of ‘great fixtures’ ends up leaving thousands of owners angry.
I’ve had him for a while and am furious with him. Will be looking for 1 haul and then gladly getting rid of the useless fecker.
Chelsea players are very often complete FPL trolls - Hazard, Barkley, Ziyech, Havertz, Werner…
I can’t wait to get rid of Rom and bring in a striker that actually brings in points.
I haven't decided yet. But there is a good chance I ll do Ronaldo to Vardy. Given that none of the forwards are guaranteed points this time around, Vardy may not be a bad choice.
Sauce that he might be fit? I can't seem to find anything on FFScout
Lukaku hasn’t had the greatest of fixtures. Against City and Liverpool I wasn’t expecting him to even score. He doesn’t do well against the top sides in his career. These next fixtures are tailor made for him.
Same. Considering going with 2 up front.
I think your plan to eventually upgrade Hwang to a 7.5-8 I guess will involve downgrading Son at the end of his good run to a Grealish/Mount/Foden type
That was the original plan but I've realized that Son has good fixtures for ages.
I might switch to Toney eventually.
That leaves one spot for premium (Lukaku, CR7), one for cheaps (Hwang, Toney, Eduard) and one for the mid priced striker (Antonio, Bam, Jimenez etc).
I think I'd prefer Son and cheap striker to Foden/Grealish and Mid priced striker...
What's with the Armstrong love? Yes they have good fixtures - but once they are over you're stuck with him for good really. Adams and JWP are out, i feel like he'll have 4 goals all season.
I also want him in. So this is kinda hoping for someone to talk me out of it.

Lovely! he was the root cause of all my transfer headaches, thanks
Final WC - which team?
Ramsdale (foster)
Walker - TAA - Cancelo (Duffy, Liv)
Mbuemo Salah - Son - Raph (D.Luiz)
Antonio - Hwang - Lukaku
or
Ramsdale (foster)
Rudiger - TAA - Cancelo (Duffy, Liv)
Mbeuemo - Salah - Foden - Raph (D.Luiz)
Antonio - Jiminez - Lukaku
really like that foden pick, also like Son. Such a struggle.

I'm not sure you can have TAA and Son with Salah and Lukaku.
The game says you can't?
No.
Relatively similar to mine with the Jimenez one, bar the subs. Although I’m not convinced by having 3 flagged players and that much money in defence. I’m going to take a three week punt on Foden I think, if it doesn’t work he can easily be moved out for Son by downgrading Cancelo or Rudiger.
The extra cash by going for Christensen over Rudiger would really help me. Seems like he’s less likely to be subbed on if he’s left out, which isn’t so bad with a strong bench.
I at one point had a draft with all them in.
Ramsdale
TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo
Salah, Son, Raphinha, Mbuemo
Lukaku, Antonio, Hwang
Subs: Foster, Liveromento, Duffy, Brownhill
I personally think that's a solid team but there's hardly any money in the bank and it's quite rigid structure. Can't for example upgrade anyone without getting rid of one of those premiums. So not sure it's a good idea.
You must have a bit more team value than me, as I'd be 0.4m off that. As I prefer Luiz to Brownhill, that's 0.6m, And I have Gray instead of Mbuembo.
Instead of sacrificing the high ceiling TAA and Cancelo, it might make sense for me to downgrade Rudiger to Christensen. And then have the same sentiments as the above.
It is a good balance of strong defence, 2 big hitters mid, 2 other mids who can score, 1 big hitter attacker, Antonio who has started well, and one wildcard striker. It's quite good.
Only sacrifice is Ronaldo, but the games are mad.
The team's fine.
I think you might be putting too much focus/worry on "what ifs" and less on a good side/getting points.
"If xxxx gets injured or another player starts killing it, I've got ITB to jump on it". Yeah, but that's an 'if'.
Leaving out a premium might mean you have a couple of million for a possible future event. Meantime (and assuming said premiums outscore non premiums), you're getting less points. The game is about points not points/£m used?
If you WC, you really shouldn't need to make transfers one week on? So, you'll have two transfers which means dropping one premium/one other is easily manageable. If you're sensible ongoing, you can manage further changes through normal transfers.
Yes, there may be unexpected stuff but that happens anyway. Depends if you're a safe or gambling player
As Donald's Trump used to say ... Carpay Deeum.

Walker, Rudiger, Foden
Or
Cancelo, Christensen, Foden
Or
Cancelo, Rudiger and having to downgrade one of Foden, Raph, ESR by .4
Have Cancelo’s assists come from set pieces while KDB has been injured?
I guess it’ll be a case of waiting for Friday and seeing if the Rudiger news can make my mind up for me.

For me i can only fit Son in with Hwang. So, its tough to get Foden in after that. Rudiger will 100% play but wonder if Walker is the better option (neither will get goals or assists, small chance with Walker). A Norwich cleansheet would be killer for Chelsea defensive options, esp at 5.7..
Son is also a differential in my league - as no one else can afford him without a differential - but how good would it feel to get on the foden hypetrain first and watch him rise to 8.5 or something.
Here's another...
Ramsdale
TAA - Cancelo - Duffy (Liv off bench, Manquillo)
Son, Raph, Foden, Salah (D Luiz off the bench)
Armstrong - Toney - Lukaku
Huge potential. Bench is weak but they will all play (which is what its for). I feel like Liv is the best bench option in the history of fantasy. With his games, he could easily start instead of Duffy.

I've just thought about letting Antonio go to get Dias too. So for GW8:
Ramsdale
TAA Dias Cancelo Rudiger Duffy
Salah Son Mbuemo
Lukaku Hwang
Foster, Toney Raphinha Brownhill
TAA Dias Cancelo Rudiger Duffy
Salah Son Mbuemo
Lukaku Hwang
Foster, Toney Raphinha Brownhill
For GW9 and GW10, as it stands:
Ramsdale
TAA Dias Cancelo Rudiger
Salah Son Raphinha Mbuemo
Lukaku Toney
Foster, Hwang Brownhill Duffy
TAA Dias Cancelo Rudiger
Salah Son Raphinha Mbuemo
Lukaku Toney
Foster, Hwang Brownhill Duffy
To be fair, I am quite happy with my team except Hwang, who I have no idea about. He looks good and has good numbers but with Podence, Traore, Trincao and eventually Neto there too, I can imagine he gets less minutes...
This is a good point but I like to think further ahead.The team's fine.

For example, with the team I listed, it blocks any obvious route to Toney, who I know I want in two weeks because I have no money in the bank. This is why, my actual WC draft has Azpi ahead of TAA for the next few weeks, that way, I can get to Toney. Beyond the Watford game, I dont think TAA is better pick than Azpi over the next 5-6 GWs. After that, Azpi out and TAA back in. But not sure I can handle checking the scores in that Liverpool vs. Watford game
I plan to drop Antonio soon. Think I'l swap for Bamford when Leeds play Norwich as that could easily be a blood bath.

Mendy or Ederson? What do you say?
Well Ederson is out GW8 as he will be playing with Brazil the day before.
Oh, yes. I forgot. Bye Dave, welcome Mendy
This WC is gonna be quite interesting. A lot of different templates and formations.
Rapha a bench and hold job then.
Among the big hitters, the template is pretty much the same for everyone. I think even in defence, everyone's having atleast 3 defenders from City + Chelsea (and I dont think there'll be a lot to separate those players out. Of course a player might get lucky and score a brace, but realistically they're all very similar).
The only differences that might matter (Mbeumo and Saka isn't one of them, IMO) are going to be whether you are going with TAA or leaving him our for next 5, going with a Man City MF or not and whether you're having Son with a cheap striker or 2 mid priced forwards with cheaper MF. And IMO, nearly all of it will come down to luck as you can make an equally strong case for a Toney (with easy fixtures) as you can make for say, Antonio (with slightly tougher fixtures)
TAA-City-Chelsea is also going to be a popular option. Having 4 premium defenders is a bit much.
Midfield is interesting. Raph and Mo are locks. Then you have Benrahma, Mbeumo, Saka, ESR, Zaha, Gallagher, Doucoure, Townsend, Gray, Foden, Grealish, Bernardo, Son, Mahrez, Mount and maybe some more.
Wait a min. Jota is injured?
My team
Ederson
Jansson Dias Dunk
Towensend Gray Salah Greenwood Souceck
Antonio Ronaldo

Hope you have a playing sub keeper for this GW.
Guatia - what’s happening with Ederson?
Yes, but he might be fit in time. Do not worry, but rather wait for more news.
Even if fit he might get benched for Firmino and then start in CL and against us.
