I was on the Kane-Abraham - deadweight Greenwood route until this weekend, when I thought I'd try the triple mid price option.Keep Abraham, sell Pukki if a big valueloss is not involved and Wilson. Maupay should be on your list of potential attacking options.
I was on the Kane-Abraham - deadweight Greenwood route until this weekend, when I thought I'd try the triple mid price option.
Wilson always for the longer haul, as away to Arsenal was always an ask, but Pukki had to do it this weekend, as they have some aways coming. I dare say I totally missed the bandwagon on him, so can bin him easily...
Really like the earlier guy's team of
Pope
TAA - Soyuncu - Lundstram/Rico/Lowton
Mane - De Bruyne - Maddison - Mount
Wilson - Abraham - Aguero
Scouted a quick wildcard out myself, and I could do the above, just with
McGinn instead of Maddison
Kelly & Dunk instead of Rico and Lowton.
Chelsea young defender Tomori? Instead of Soyunco (not much in it)
Not at the moment. I might ultimately bring Mane or Salah in for him though and change Firmino to Vardy.Anyone getting rid of sterling?. Tempted to go Salah - Mane
Sterling - Maddison
Pukki- Aguero
Will recommend to keep Sterling for now. He can easily haul in the next game.Anyone getting rid of sterling?. Tempted to go Salah - Mane
Sterling - Maddison
Pukki- Aguero
Yeah that's my main worry but, at the moment, my team is far too reliant on those two scoring big every week.Like that a lot.
Would be worried Salah or Sterling turn it back on soon and leave you exposed, but you do have alternatives in their teams
May look at a wildcard myself shortly.
Yeah I was thinking of switching Lowton to Fredericks but Gazzaniga is also very tempting at that price. They'll probably keep a clean sheet vs Watford but who knows how they'll look after that.I probably wouldn't double up on Burnley in defence but great apart from that.
I know Spurs are shite at the moment but you'd still epxect them to keep more clean sheets than Burnley over the season. Gazzaniga is £4.4m and Lloris won't play again any time soon.
Be careful with Kelly. He has an awful run coming up and may no longer be first choice once the good fixtures start up again.Kelly & Dunk instead of Rico and Lowton.
Apart from Martial sure. We're terrible and he's still injured. I keep repeating this...—————-——-Patricio
Otamendi - Tomori - Lundstram - Pereira
-—-Mane - De Bruyne - Son - Martial
————Aubameyang - Abraham
Bench: Kelly - Cantwell - Connolly.
0.8 in the bank, possibly for Patricio to Alisson when Liverpool's fixtures turn good again.
Son is a bit of a differential.
Thoughts on this wildcard?
I think he will be back after the International break? He had 2 goals and an assist in the first 3 games and will be the central striker.Apart from Martial sure. We're terrible and he's still injured. I keep repeating this...
He's been "close" to a return for about 6 weeks now, so i'd certainly hold off until he's got through at least one game first.I think he will be back after the International break? He had 2 goals and an assist in the first 3 games and will be the central striker.
Will he keep his place though? And will he get any points!Saka starting for Arsenal at £4.5m. Could be the new Cantwell if you have no more pressing transfers.
True. Emery is a bigger fraud than Guardiola. His team selections baffle me.Will he keep his place though? And will he get any points!
Lacazette will be back after the International break, would expect Saka to drop to the bench but he could potentially be swapped with Pepe?Saka starting for Arsenal at £4.5m. Could be the new Cantwell if you have no more pressing transfers.
Option 1 seems more sensible.Lacazette will be back after the International break, would expect Saka to drop to the bench but he could potentially be swapped with Pepe?
I'm gutted I had transfers planned for the IB but thought i'd wait, and 3 of the players I wanted had a price rise last night!
Abraham
Mane
Vardy
Thoughts on these two transfers plans?
Option 1
Salah out, Mane in
Pukki out, Tammy Abraham in
-4
the next week
Haller out, Vardy in
Zinchenko out, Rico in
-4
Option 2
Salah out, Mahrez in
Pukki out, Firmino in
Haller out, Vardy in
-8
Because he’s cheaper and, i think, going forward will return a similar points return. Add to that Mount is in EVERYONES team so this could see you gain points where others drop a few. You could have them both but i thought it would free up some more money for you elsewhere.Why Mount out? he is doing well every gameweek.
Well Pulisic won’t get much time in the league under Lamps and I think is ahead of Pedro. Only Willian standing in his way and i expect Lampard to put him on the other wing possibly to get Hudson in. The ONLY reason I haven’t brought him in myself is because i can only make one transfer and I can’t afford it unless i take a -4 hit, AND i have Mount and Abraham so having all three is Chelsea over-kill.Yeah seems a bit knee jerky that. I like the look of Hudson Odoi too but he has much more competition for his place surely.
Would you take Tammy aswell at the same time? That’s my only conundrum. Its tempting.I like Hudson-Odoi also so i got him in for Yarmolenko. He is good value for his price and fixtures. But i also have Mount and he is a season keeper for me.
I think I'll see if he continues to start. I've no problem going for 3 Chelsea attackers as they look like scoring bucketloads and I don't fancy any of their defenders. Also at £5.9m he's a great price and an easy switch for me from someone like Tielemans who's not doing much.Well Pulisic won’t get much time in the league under Lamps and I think is ahead of Pedro.

I had Tammy but wanted Tomori as a defensive option so opted for Mount and Hudson Odoi instead iwch i think will do great over the whole season.

Current set up is...
Pope
TAA - Ottamendi - Soyunco (Lundstram) (Kelly)
Sterling - KDB - Mount - Tielemans (Cantwell)
Kane - Abraham - Firmino
Can easily see it becoming this in a few weeks...
Pope
TAA - Ottamendi - Soyunco (Lundstram) (Kelly)
Mane - KDB - Mount - Hudson Odoi (Cantwell)
Aguero - Abraham - Vardy

Yeah and you can't even really say he picked the wrong players to bench (without the benefit of hindsight). I was annoyed with Martin Kelly's 7 pointer on mine.Wow, it took a couple of clicks to see what was happening there, thought the 20 points in his team was bad enough!
But 41 on the bench!
Makes my 32 and 17 not look as bad.
That's it, you can't be too annoyed when you've made logical choices.Yeah and you can't even really say he picked the wrong players to bench (without the benefit of hindsight). I was annoyed with Martin Kelly's 7 pointer on mine.
That's why I try to keep total drek on there if I can.
They miss the game vs West Ham in GW18 I believe. No idea when it'll be rescheduled.I am pretty happy with my team and still have my WC. Is there something really smart I can do with it in the first half of the season? How will the WC of clubs be for Liverpool fixture wise for instance?
Gunna get KDB in for Mahrez when he’s back. Eventually will change go a 4-3-3. Rid Aguero and Greenwood for Vardy/Firmino and a mid level striker. I feel you definitely need 3-4 Man City and Liverpool players. Over the season they will get you the most points and they’re fixture proof.[/QUOTE]
Well, except for Wolves at home!!
Cheers! Thanks for the international break to think about the strategy that would inevitably pull me down .They miss the game vs West Ham in GW18 I believe. No idea when it'll be rescheduled.
I like him though. Hasn't gone more than 2 weeks without a return. Like a cheaper Haller.Wesley in for Barnes for this week. Villa have some shite games though so he might not stay in long
your defence is too weak, you should spend more on it. I like your midfield and attackSwapped Salah and Buendia for Mane and Mount. Got changes in early as worried for price changes.
Current Squad

Tomori Mings Lundstrum

Mane went up the other day. That’s why I did it already. My plans wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.Will recommend to keep Sterling for now. He can easily haul in the next game.
Salah -> Mane is fair enough. Both seem to be equals now when it comes to scoring points.
I am holding both Salah and Sterling. United - Liverpool will be a cagey match either way so don't see any reason to spend a transfer for this game.
I don’t disagree with the defence comment. But currently no one can keep clean sheets even the Big 2 so in the meantime may as well shift funds elsewhere. Eventually will get TAA in.your defence is too weak, you should spend more on it. I like your midfield and attack
