Lingard is the only right answer!

Do you have free hit? If not then I think you want someone for the blank.

Traore, Lingard, Trossard/Gross (probably not), Grealish (if back), Raphinha.
I'm going for Jota (on the advice of @RedDevil@84 - on his head be it!). Raphina, Saka and Lingard are decent options. Grealish would be ideal.
Isn't Jota still injured?

Lingard :nono:

Grealish, injured. Raphina, I already have 2 Leeds players. Saka, maybe.

Slim pickings in midfield atm.

I have Forster on my bench knowing full well he never plays but this week I used bench boost and he plays :D
I have him in my bench but I'm not boosting yet unfortunately. But my plan is to boost with Mendy against Newcastle so I'm guaranteed a cleany.

Good luck tonight.

For people with Martinez and Forster. Would you start Forster for the double next week?

I think two games is better than one, but if he gets dropped again you may only get one game.

Also Martinez probably gets 9 points again.

ASM could be a good punt, but he’s yellow flagged at the moment. Plays West Brom next and Brighton in 29.

Going to go Salah -> Son and Barnes -> Grealish next week I think.

Whats DCL's EO in the top 10k?
What's EO? :)

Apparently fit but not match fit. Liverpools run after Chelsea is pretty good. If he gets a sub appearance and some minutes under his belt, a good option... though I don't pick Liverpoo players

:lol:

My lead in my ML went down from 150pts to 95 in last 5-6 GW (Partly because we decided, we will try to keep our teams as different as possible from each other).

So all the best!!!!

I would rather eat shit that refresh the app hoping for Newcastle to score.

I like him, but I thought he was injured again.
I didn’t watch Newcastle’s last game, seems like he went off after an hour. Worth waiting to see what happens, but I guess he’s a bit of a risk if you’re relying on him for 29.

So frustrated with DCL. Had to shuffle my team and take a hit to bring him in. I know he has West Brom next but Antonio (who I took out) has Leeds coming up, which is nearly a guaranteed haul.

If Antonio scores more than DCL this week I think I cry.

At least he played. I brought James in for Grealish.. Was so happy with that when Barnes got injured as well.

Hit behind the couch hoping DCL would do nothing, and got away with it for tonight.
Shame Everton didn't concede, but at least Digne and Pickford didn't bonus, presuming the scores are now confirmed, and Pickford doesn't weasel in with the 96th min punch out.

My transfers this week have failed massively. Antonio, Grealish and Rudiger out for DCL, Barnes and Dunne for a minus 8 :lol: proper shocker.

I was really hoping he would. He's the only goalie I know who can save and create opposition chances by doing so.

But will take the 6.

Yet another great week.

Midfield blanked.
Forwards DCL and Bamford blanked. Thank Kane for a few points.
Put Johnstone on bench and got in Pickford. Now Johnstone has more points on bench.

At least in 40s thanks to defense

70 points at the half way stage. Will take another round of that please.

Guy who was leading my mini league having a tough one. He wildcarded the previous week to prep for a mega bench boost. This week he had to take a hit to remove Maddison and Grealish. Brought in Barnes and Rodriguez as replacements. :lol: Cruel.

He obviously doesn't realise that fantasy league punishes those who plan :lol:

Martinez and Kane the only ones with points so far. Horror Show.

If you captained Kane you're still on 40 points? With quite a few more to play. Not great, but I've seen worse...

Ouch. That's like the opposite of the guy who TCed Bale and had Newcastle and Fulham defenders.

Unlucky, all good choices, just v unfortunate

Dont worry. There's another whole round of games to be played. But that is unlucky though!

Got Cancelo and Dias. Canceli left out last week. 100% Dias doesn't start tonight.

What would people choose if it was them;

Forster + Dunk + Jota or 3.9 goalie + Veltman + Grealish? Brighton play Newcastle in GW29 when most players blank so think it'll be worth it for that plus their game against Southampton.

Is this on a wildcard or something because none of those transfers seem important to me and some are even injured/not fit ?

I've got my eye on Grealish but he's going nowhere near my team until he's fit.

Grealish apparently could be playing against Wolves. Glad I kept him for week 29, as that means I can get to 10 players without any hits (barring further injury/resting).

Looking forward to using that wildcard in either 30/31 though. Cancelo, Gundo, Salah all on the chopping board.

Dunno whether to ditch Mee or Rashford this week. Got £0.7m in the bank as well. Probably makes sense to get someone in for GW29 whilst I'm at it.

Was thinking Mee to Tierney/Bellerin but Arteta keeps titting about. Likewise Reguillon. Can see him being rested against Palace.

I think I would jump straight to Grealish from Rashford if he was fit but he's not even back in training yet. Bale could be a punt but as above I'd be concrned with his minutes being managed.

Wish they'd hurry up and rearrange this Everton v Villa fixture.
