So captain choices..

KDB - could be a differential now? Risk he comes on late for a bit of fitness.
Mane - we're shite. Could be a rout. Could also raise our game and it be a cagey affair.
Aguero - Aguero.
Tammy - Playing Newcastle.
Wilson - only blanked in one game so far. Playing Norwich who concede plenty.
I have the first four and Mount. Also I have TAA who i am considering because I think Liverpool will get the clean sheet and maybe assist/goal which is depressing in itself so maybe I'll go Abraham if that makes sense.

Also have Mount. Don't think him or TAA is a great shout over the others though personally. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a goal, that being said.

Think it will be either Mane or Abraham for me.

£0.1m ITB, on wildcard.

Ryan - Button

Otamendi - Tomori - Lundstram - Söyüncü - Diop

Sterling - Mane - De Bruyne - Mount - Cantwell

Abraham - Aubameyang - Connolly

Any further tinkering suggestions?

4 central defenders? Might be an idea to get an attacking fullback in if the budget allows it --> Tierney when he starts playing regurlarly.

Ryan, Adrian

Kelly, Soyuncu, Otamendi, Lundstram, Diop

Martial, Salah, Sterling, James, Douglas Luiz

Kane, Abraham, Pukki

I have 2 FT with 1m in the bank. Gonna get Adrian out of there next week and start Ryan with Allison back. What changes would you make to this team?

I'm thinking of dropping Digne, James and Barnes for Dunk, Mount and Jiminez for a -4... worth it or not?

I could wait a week for the James to Mount and save 4 points but I feel Mount will score against Newcastle and James will do feck all against Liverpool.

Did a scary thing and dropped KDB. Team went from:

Pope
Digne, TAA, Soyuncu
Salah, Sterling, KDB, James
Barnes, Pukki, Abraham

Subs: Button, Rico, Lundstram, Dendonker

To:

Pope
Kelly, TAA, Soyuncu
Salah, Sterling, Mount, James
Aubamayang, Pukki, Abraham

Subs: Button, Rico, Lundstram, Dendonker

Really nervous :nervous:

Going with KDB captain I think. Can't shake Mane being the better option though with us being so shit and now with more injury.

I have a cunning plan.

Pukki, Barnes, Ederson out

Auba, Greenwood, Gazzaniga in.

I need a decent and consistent striker, Greenwood will be on the bench and Gazz will be playing for a while for Spurs.

My squad will be:

Gazz, Henderson
AWB, Van Arn, VVD, Lindstrom, Diop
Mane, Sterling, Martial, Mount, Dedonc
Auba, Greenwood, Abraham

What do you guys think about that then?

Salah and Mane miss about 4 games a season between them.
No way we're lucky enough for it to me this weekend.

I've been planning on changing VVD for a while but glad I have him this weekend considering how poor we are on corners.

I've stuck with him and Maguire. You take a premium defender out, and they'll probably score!
Will probs wildcard this weekend.

I've taken Greenwold out of my teams and put in Connolly of Brighton, much better 4.5m bet I think for points.

Always the way. I'm considering no premiums to allow Wilson to Auba for a front line of Auba, Aguero, Tammy :drool:

Wilson and Tammy look pretty safe bets right now. It's all about that 3rd guy. I'm currently on Pukki still (having missed his actual great spell). Did consider putting him to King for this weekend, but Bournemouth aren't the tightest, and I needed to finally get Mount in, home to Newcastle.

I took a -4 to swap Digne, KDB and Barnes to Kelly, Mount and Aubamayang.

Digne keeps a clean sheet. Kelly not even in squad. Mount does nothing. Hopefully Auba will justify the transfer.

On top of that, I was considering getting in Jiminez at one point, cnut scores :mad:

Changed Sterling to Abraham for cap.
D Silva out, Mount in.

No goalscorer, from Wilson, Abra and Pukki.

One assist for Sterling, and one clean sheet from Ederson so far.

Dreadful stuff.

Got almost minimum possible from 7 players so far, 17 points. No goals, no assists, no clean sheets.

Firmino, Aubameyang, Matip and Lundstram to go. Would be surprised if I go over 30 points.

I always do horribly the week after I use my Wildcard. It’s some kind of jinx.

Meanwhile players I remove get the points, just to further rub salt in the wound.

Annoying weekend. KDB hits the post and Jesus should have squared it to him for an open goal. Abraham hits the post, Mount had a great chance in the 6 yard box.

21 points with Aubameyang and Lundstram to go. Nobody has done anything. No goals, no assists, no clean sheets. I had never had a week like this before. :lol:

I'm taking out Mahrez for James. Got almost 5 million in the bank, will use it to upgrade my team in 3-4 weeks.

Pope
AWB Soyuncu Diop Matip Lundstram
James KDB Mount McGinn Maddison
Aubameyang Abraham Firmino

Aside from attack all my other formations are basically value players + KDB who was value 2 months ago too.

I know it's the strat you prefer but you should reconsider the squad vs starting 11 option. It's FPL, not PL :p

29 points + 2 with Auba playing today. Chickened out and captained Abraham.

2 free transfers available and 1.3 in the bank. Suggestions?

Ryan/Pope

TTA, Otamendi, Lundstram, Tomori, Soyuncu.

Sterling, Mane, Mount, Cantwell, Saka.

Auba, Abraham, Haller.

Auba, Haller, Saka, Cantwell, Soyuncu and Otamendi are all in danger of getting the axe.

Probably downgrade Otamendi and upgrade Cantwell to CHO?
