I just SHAT myself and thought I'd missed deadline.

Next Q, Armband? KDB, Son, Kane? Bruno?
I've gone for Bruno but they are all great choices to be honest. I'd possibly put Son at the bottom of the list as I imagine Fulham may try to sit back.

I think it’s has to be a City or Spurs player captain for me. Burnley game will end up as one of those tough to break down games end win 1-0. Spurs against a depleted bad Fulham team. Spurs over last few games seem to be scoring again too.

Think I’m going with:

Lloris
Cancelo - Dias - Tierney
De Bruyne (c) - Rashford - Son - Bruno - Saka
Kane - Wilson
Only player I’m a bit worried about missing out on is Lacazette - pretty much between him and Rashford.

I do have a draft with Wilson dropped for Lacazette, but means Dias / Lloris > Stones / Leno and a weaker bench. Annoyingly I could have afforded that easily with a strong bench if I’d played the Free Hit earlier in the GW before all the price changes.
Any thoughts on this - in particular Rashford over Lacazette?

I think I've settled on this with a Free Hit:

Darlow
Dias, Stones, Dier, Tierney
Bruno, Son, KDB
Cavani, Kane, Wilson

Subs: Saka, Smith Rowe, Mitchell and £4.0m GK

Any thoughts? I'm not sure on Cavani starting, but I think he will given his aerial ability and also because he's well rested.

Nope, no complaints with that team, wouldn’t change Rashford though he’s in good form and will probably score plus gives you extra incentive when watching us play.

I choose Kane though as my captain think he’ll smash Fulham he’s rested and just too good for their defence.

I know they've played well recently, but I'm not sure I trust Arsenal. In terms of certainty, I think Rashford will definitely start, whereas Lacazette has been somewhat in-and-out of Arsenal's team this season - however, he's in great form right now.

Overall, I think your team looks good.

I’d free hit with that personally but would need to see the rest of the team.
Guaita
Cancello, Killman
Neto, Son, Mahrez

I want to bin off Werner, possibly Mahrez and obviously DCL, but I can work on that from next week, think free hit will be best? I'm doing terribly so it probably won't even matter :lol:

Who am I least likely to be Pepp'd with?

Smith Rowe in for -4
KDB captain.
Max of 9 playing - hopefully the expected 8 all do with no surprises.

Best of luck all!

I've free hit:

Gk- Guaita, Ryan
Defence: Tierney, Cancello, Killman, Tompkins, Keane
Midfield: Son, KDB, Gundogan, Neto, Zaha
Strikers: Maupay, Kane, Lacazette

I don't like using our players as I worry I'll jinx them!

Team on pitch is:


Guiata
Teirney, Cancello, Keane
All 5 midfielder players listed above
Keane & Lacazette

I've captained Son but could have either KDB or Kane also...

WC team:

DDG

Stones
Cancelo
Holding

Son
Fernandes
Rashford
KDB (C)
Saka

Wood
Antonio (he'll have a blank this week, sadly).


Subs: Mendy, Justin, Bamford, Coufal.


^I'll be making a Saka for Soucek + Holding for Cash as subs for GW19 and that sets me up with a decent enough bench boost.

Had 10 players starting until the cancelled Villa game and DCL injury screwed us all over.

Decided not to play any chips.

It's now up to Wilson and Zaha to make or break this week...

Went for KDB captain but this week especially it was a coin toss. Any or all could haul. Haven't had KDB this season so hopefully he can do the business.

I might regret not captaining Bruno.... if we score, he will have a perhap 90% chance to be involved..KDB and Kane are hit and miss. Bruno rarely let me down, while the other has.
Yes, but if Bruno scores you can celebrate in real life.

Expecting a Wilson blank and for my Clark clean sheet to be wiped out. Newcastle look terrible.

Jeez Brewster can't even do anything against 10 men.

I have Cavani in my FH team. He starts which is great. Really hope he can score.
