Aguero is the chief.
Fantasy Premier League 18/19

Bloody pep and his 59th min sub. Pep Guardiola is my idol strikes again.
I've done the hokey cokey and swapped Aguero to Auba...now who to captain?
Auba away against a shockingly bad Huddersfield, Arsenal will surely bounce back win with some conviction...or Salah against Bournemouth at home, he's already scored a hat trick against them this season, they are always open to conceding goals. Tough choice.

Aguero to Aubergine for a -4 hit?
Or do move next week...?

You're talking about the man who standeth 'twixt Liverpool winning a PL title... show some respect.
At least until he's (hopefully) achieved it, then back to business as usual.
Aguero usually scores against top 6 sides. I would definitely wait a week before getting rid.
Auba has been ill today but should be OK for Saturday apparently. Makes me really consider that (c) going to Salah now.
Aguero also has a good scoring record against Chelsea.
Next week fo' sho.
Beginning my masterplans to go about blank gw31.. Goal is to slowly filll up the squad for gw31 in a smart way and then probably wildcard in gw32
Saving up a transfer now, then -4 to get 3 x Leicester in (great fixturelist: Schmeichel, Perreira, Maddison) for GW27.. then depending on who goes through of United v Chelsea, I'll sub accordingly in GW 29 where my Arsenal players hit a bad-fixture streak.. So either Alonso+Higu or Arnautovic+Mane and possibly Rondon (good fixtures)
.. and then Before GW31 I'll sub some more to have about 9-11 players playing in Blank GW31..
It'll probably be a team like this if we send out Chelsea from the FA cup:
Schmeichel
Pereira - Arnold - Alonso - Lovren
Anderson - Salah - Maddison
Arnie - Rondon - Higuain
Planning for GW31/GW32 starts now to get in enough players. Tough decisions and hope i dont "overplan"

Made a mistake by not going for Son a day earlier. Had to bring him in last night for 8.7 when I could have brought him in for 8.6. :/
Well he's £8.8m now and I'm still not sure whether to get him in. I think if you've got the money it doesn't matter at this stage of this season. Better to wait and make more informed decisions nearer the deadline.
I'm now thinking Mane might be the better bet. Good fixture this week, doesn't blank in 27 (admittedly against us), good fixtures after that and doesn't blank in 31 either so sets me up for a FH32 strategy. Oh and he's scored 3 in 3.
Other transfer was gonna be Aguero to Auba but his illness has given me pause for thought along with Aguero's form and record against big clubs at home.
He's a good enough transfer for me. He has decent fixtures with Leicester at home and Burnley away. With Kane out, Son's gonna be playing up front as well, which bodes well for the 2 matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Also, the way my midfield was set up (Salah-Pogba-Bilva-Anderson-Shaqiri), he's the only big hitter I could afford, with no good options in the 7-8M range. Also, doesn't blank in GW27 and if CPFC is knocked out of FA Cup, Son gets a game in BGW31.
If Palace get knocked out then I'll bring him in for Richarlison next gw instead of Anderson. Can't see it though.
Not too worried about not owning Auba or Son this weekend as Salah will get the armband from most people I suspect. GW27 could be brutal though with 5 players playing in one fixture (Liverpool v United). Son & Auba both look like better captain picks in that one so I'll certainly be bringing one or both in then.
I'm toying with this as well. Leaning towards doing it. Auba vs Huddersfield > Aguero vs Chelsea .. and then the blank next week.
Do we think TAA will be back to play against Bournemouth??
Need a consensus to help decide whether I use my bench boost or not

I think Klopp is and has been downplaying his injury. Originally he was scheduled to be back in late february, but it'd make sense for Klopp to have opponents prepare for Arnold instead of targetting a slow Milner/central defence (has worked well last couple of games)
I own him myself too, and haven't subbed him yet, but mostly because I have other good players to take over and I'm patient.
I say go for it. Don't save it for the double gameweeks.
Yeah, Aguero -> Auba is my next transfer too.
I have interpreted your sarcasm and taken your point. I forgot about them.I say go for it. Don't save it for the double gameweeks.
I’ll keep hold of it for now. Cheers.
I think I'll just use the Free Hit chip in GW31, and rather plan for the double. A lot of the top teams have doubles, so with decent planning I might be able to get 11 good players with doubles without using the free hit chip anyway.
Thats also a good idea. What'd be your preferred players/teams to go for?
I think City players specifically if Chelsea wins against us in the FA cup. Anyways it is probably the smartest to decide the strategy in full between GW26 and GW27 when the blank GWs gets official
I have no idea yet, but I think as long as you hoard players from the good teams, and prepare a bit once the blanks are official, you'll be alright.
I also see a potential downside with too much planning for gameweek 31, in that you ship out good/great players who have blanks in 31, for decent/worse players in the weeks leading up to the blank week with the only reason being gameweek 31. This means you'll be playing an inferior team in the weeks leading up to the blanks, losing ground along the way. Is it really worth it, then? Considering most of the top teams actually have blanks in that gameweek, you'll potentially have to ship out all Shitty, Manchester United, Chelsea,Arsenal, Everton, Wolves and Crystal Palace players. In my case, that means shipping out 90% of my squad, and most of those players haul big points every week. Simply not worth it, and I think/hope people don't realize this and overplan for gameweek 31.
Edit: Wow, this turned out a mess! I hope people understand what I'm trying to say, though.
I think he will.
This week or next? Their Anytime Goalscorer odds are the exact same this weekend.
So going into this week looking like this.
Fabianski
Matip - Robertson - Doherty
Sane - Salah - Pogba - Ward-Prowse
Jimenez - Rashford - Aguero
Who to captain though? Help please

Tricky one. Tbh I’d be inclined to captain Pogba but I always feel like that’s tempting fate.
Alternatively I’d go with Salah - they might come out all guns blazing at a field to smash Bournemouth.
Salah captain, for sure.
De Gea (Hamer)
Trippier - Digne - Wan-Bissaka (Luiz, TAA)
Sané - Moutinho - Salah(c) - Pogba (Højbjerg)
Jiménez - Rashford - Kunt
Sané is gone next week.
Yeah was thinking Salah with them needing to keep winning, aren't Bournemouth pretty shite away from home too?
Makes good sense, and its my fear too. In my scenario it basically means shipping players that I would ship anyways:I have no idea yet, but I think as long as you hoard players from the good teams, and prepare a bit once the blanks are official, you'll be alright.

Richarlison, Shaw, Kolasinac, Auba, Lloris.. So Ill still have a core of Salah, Sterling, Pogba, Rashford, Wan b, Jota, TAA, Doherty and then just move in the direction of Aguero/Higuain and Alonso/Mendy depending on the FA Cup. Would still be fairly strong, but definitely a risk because I'd count on 3 Leicester players (good fixturelist)
No Wilson or Brooks either.
I brought him in, he’s not the cheapest, granted, but with Kane out for now he’s their main man.
Add that to the fact that he’s up front for them therefore every goal is given 5pts as he’s classed as a midfielder on FPL.
Mane I find can blow hot and cold
He can but he's hot at the moment.
Allison Speroni
TAA Digne Doherty Shaw AWB
Salah Son Pogba Sane Deulofeu
Rashford Jimenez Barnes
2 plans (2 FT)
Barnes --> Aubamayeng
Salah --> Mane
leaving 1.8m in bank
or
Barnes --> Aubamayeng
Allison --> Fabianski
Digne --> Bednarek
leaving 0.2m in the bank (Aubamayeng to Aguero some time)
Which do you think?

Next week. I am keeping Aguero for the Chelsea match. Will replace him with Auba before BGW27.
Yeah same here I think
Kane apparently close to return in GW27
Son in for Sane is the overwhelming transfer this week amongst the vets it seems. No shocks there.
