Dont think its mad. City are vulnerable on counters, and thats where Auba trives good

I’m captaining Mane over Vardy this GW. Playing it safe will only get you so far. To rise up leagues and ranks, risks have to be taken
I don't think Mane at home to the crappest team in the league is exactly a wild punt in fairness.
Never said it was.
Just stating that I’m not captaining Vardy as the majority are.
I think Mane is a potential rotation risk. I do think he will play, but it would be the ideal time to rest him again since Watford are so bad. I would guess Salah is rested first since it was Mane the last time.
Wolves will not be easy so would stay away from Spurs.
I think Abraham against Bournemouth can be tasty. They have been defending badly and could be destroyed.
Jesus, De Bruyne and Sterling might have a great day against Arsenal who can't defend well so many great picks this round.
Vardy is obvious and should be picked if you have him. Norwich are the worst side in the league in terms of defending. 16 goals so far and with brilliant form for Vardy. It doesn't get much better than that.
If you sell him for Rashford it might work right now given that Leicester play City and Liverpool next which could be hard for Vardy (still would not bet against him scoring).
I have Auba since the start of the season and I see no reason whatsoever to get rid. I also don't really understand why he fell 0.2 in that time, seeing that bar a 3 game slump in november, he produced constantly and is also capable of big hauls. There's a reason he's second best points-wise in regards to strikers. Expensive, surely, but closest to a sure thing this season, even as Arsenal are as bad as they are, which is a testament to his quality imo.
Ryan - Button
Soyuncu - Lundstram - Baldock - Rico - Diop
Alli - Son - Mané - Maddison - De Bruyne
Vardy - Abraham - Connolly
1 FT, £1.2m ITB.
At the moment I'm £0.2m short of going Abraham -> Rashford. Once we go into the new GW and I get a second FT, I'm thinking of downgrading Diop -> Kelly then going Abraham -> Rashford, thoughts? Anything else I should look at?

ok
Ings to Rashford?
Yay or Nay?

Both. What midfielder are you going to get that will outscore Ings for his price.
I had abraham and vardy so it was a straight choice.
Went Rashford in the end. May not come off, but at least i won't be at the game tomorrow and curse when Rashy does something!!
Salah
Balls out of the bathtub on this one...
Mane TC vs bottom team in the league at home

I'm taking Robertson out. Klopp has started to rotate the fullbacks.
Owning both Salah and mane 
Took out KDB and Auba, replaced with Alli and Vardy.
That disallowed goal must be a kick in those balls
Still time
Triple Captain Vardy You heard the jinx here first!
You heard the jinx here first!Triple Captained Mane, starting to hate this game.
Got 5.5 for a defender instead of Bellerin for next Gameweek - Who do I go for?
Would be nice with a settled one with a nice fixture-list over Christmas.

Sidibe seems to be playing well changed him from Digne.
Salah owners get in
maybe aurier or lindelof
I know Mane was unlucky, but Liverpool are both very good and a bit gash somehow at the same time. Was a madness to TC
Clean sheets are coming though.
Just used my free transfer on Robbo to Aurier.

Pleased with 12 points from my Pool players. Good not to have a blank from Mane but a few have him captained so happy with that.
Hmm just researched a bit on how Jose likes to rotate for the winter:
- The backs usually get 90 minutes, and is maybe rotated for 1 game max so Aurier would for instance miss out on 1 match, but play the full in the others if that happens. He trusts players with good physique though.
Jose at United
2018/19 (Jose is sacked, so no need to take this one into consideration)
2017/18: Valencia gets injured before christmas, and Jose favors Young and Shaw for most of the 4 games in a row. They both get rested for one full match though.
2016/17: Jose keeps Valencia to play full christmas-programme, but rotates on the other wing back. Has to be mentioned that Valencia had incredible physique and there was fewer games this year (the pre-christmas game was 17th of december)
Jose at Chelsea
2015/16: Jose is sacked before christmas
2014/15: Every 4 defenders plays every single game. Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta
2013/14: 3 defenders plays every single game, Ivanovic being one of them. Azpilicueta rested/rotated with Filipe Luis for 1 game
Conclusion: If he has a player with good physique like Valencia/Ivanovic, and lacks a good alternative, he plays them every single game. Aurier was rested midweek, and Spurs have no Carling Cup, so it's not impossible he'll play him every game during the winter. Rose played midweek, so he's the most likely one to be rotated. The safe-choices are of course the centre-backs and maybe Vertonghen who has taken over from Rose on the left, to allow Aurier to bomb forward and have a safe defender backwards.
It's good to see all those Lesta clean sheets gone
Premier League FF has given Vardy an assist, no goal?
They deemed it OG by krul
Good on me for captaining Salah but frustrated with Robertson coming on to get 1 point while having a 6 points defender on the bench. 37 points so far with Leno, Rashford, Martial, James, Sterling and Kelly to go. Could potentially be a good weekend this one.
Right, about to go Diop -> Kelly and Abraham -> Rashford, thoughts?
Bit of a bust for Vardy, but I dare say he had huge captain ownership.
Breaks his run though, and a couple of hard games coming up now.

42 with 3 left to play.
So first week of the Cup right. My opponent will probably go on and beat me on raw points earned, but then I saw he spent 20 points on 6 transfers this week 
Keeping Abraham over rashford might hurt. Although at least I will be happy about it if we win and Chelsea drops points.
It doesn't happen often but for the first time think I've played a blinder with buying Ings before everyone else and then replacing him before this GW and he blanks!
Brilliant, I'm in a league with a friend who captained Ings. Didn't do great myself with Vardy captain, but still have 37 points with 4 to play.
47 with 3 to play.
What are people doing with Chelsea players?
I'll keep Tammy I think but Pulisic has done nothing for me. Trouble is I'd planned Mane to Son this week.
Might be worth a -4 as many could be taking a hit next week to get a team out.
