What the heck we doing with this pals?

Areola
Gabriel Estu Trippier
Luiz Saka Garnacho Palmer
Alvarez (c) Archer Watkins

lascelles 50%, Maguire probs benched SALAH (out)

11.1m in the bank, 2 of the starting 3 defenders are yellow but hopefully play.

  1. Archer to Haaland (leaves Alvarez there though and then only 1.6m to deal with TAA in later)
  2. Salah to Jota
  3. Something else
Have Alvarez captain at the mo, could change to Jota if i did option 2 but doesn't feel big.

I wouldnt personally captain Alvarez, certainly he gets minutes managed... I like both options for Haaland or Archer, but know both options will backfire (I'm in the same boat) :lol:

I've not sold Son yet and SK are playing Saudi today 2 hours before the deadline.

If they're losing, Son would be back for GW 24 latest, even 23, and so I don't see the point of selling him.

I might even roll my transfer.
This is actually a decent point as someone who also has him on the bench. Son potentially against Everton and Brighton certainly appeals more than Jota against Chelsea and Arsenal. Maybe I should just do Archer to Haaland now as he's coming back next week regardless.

Captained Watkins as Newcastle's defence has looked all over the place for weeks (I didn't watch their FA Cup game though).

Saka to KDB is an option. Thinking of doing that myself.

Might bring in Haaland actually (and captain Foden or Bowen).

Not sure if I should take out Alvarez or Archer...

Yeah the closer we get to the deadline the more I'm thinking just get him in now. Decent chance he gets something even if he comes on as a sub and if he doesn't play any minutes I'll have bench cover.

Haven't wavered from Foden captain all week.

I might actually play Palmer instead of Doughty now btw. Thinking this

Nipples
Estupinan Gabriel Porro
Palmer Saka Foden (c) Bowen
Haaland Solanke Twatkins

Subs: Dubs, Doughty, Trippier, Son

I'm thinking exactly the same but might bench Saliba as he has less upside than Doughty or Palmer.

Are you selling Alvarez? Since I don't have other city players thinking I'll sell Solanke and go with Haaland and Alvarez.

Is Twatkins expected to pick some form with an easy fixture ahead? Anyone with insight into if anything has changed at Villa.

Bit inclined to do Twatkins to Yeti if there is no hope.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Current team:

Raya
Porro, Saliba, Estupinian, Doughty
Saka, Palmer, Bowen, Foden
Alvarez, Twatkins

Subs: Dubravka, Branthwaite, Archer, Son

Option 1: Archer to Haaland (bench Doughty).
Option 2: Son to Jota (bench Doughty).
Option 3: Roll transfer and start with above team.

Popular opinion seems to be 2, just didn’t like Liverpools fixtures….. or Liverpool.

Other than that, much of a muchness though I do like saving a tfr if not sure need to use it.

Also depends on when planning to use WC, if soon use your tfrs up.

I'm gonna bring back Haaland I think. I'll wait on Jota.

You could do 1. and 2. for a minus 4 as well and bench one of Garnacho and Luiz. Probably Luiz who has the lowest upside.
Garnacho definitely starts the next game on his favoured side, with Rashy's nonsense.

Taken the glossy punt on both KDB and Haaland in.

Who to captain?

Rolling my transfer and captaining Watkins. Newcastle have been awful away and Villa great at home.

He'll probably blank but that would just make selling him all the more enjoyable.

Another thought for everyone. Wolves might have their strongest attack back for GW 23 now with Hee Chan and Neto back. I'm certainly getting one or the other.

there was a leak that Haaland wont start tomorrow..
(I have Haaland in anyway)
Yeah but I would do the transfer next week anyway, might as well now and not have to worry about price changes. Jota was the other option but Son looks like he's returning so I can be a bit more flexible and avoid the match against Arsenal then bring him in for Burnley.

Exactly same spot here.

Annoyingly I sacrificed Watkins who has a tasty Newcastle tie, and Sheffield after.

But I know I'll need a 4pt hit at some point between now and GW24 to get the team I want, so I may as well do it now whilst City face Burnley.

Feel like I rushed that decision. Ended up taking Solanke out for Haaland, as opposed to Alvarez which was the original plan.

Means I now can’t bring in KDB for Saka as I also have Foden.

In hindsight I think I should have held off Haaland for another week, brought in KDB this week, and then Haaland for Alvarez the following week.

Left that wayyyy too close to the deadline. Think my KDB transfer went through but I have no idea who my captain is ffs.
