Not a fan of -4 for either of those moves. As long as you can put a decent 11 out this week, maybe just suck it up a week and do it next week?

Especially for a defender. Even if they get a cleany, you probably had someone achieving a 2 pointer, so the 4 is absorbed in the 6 and you're no better off.
Clearly they could get a 10 pointer, but probably just as likely to get a 1 or 2.
By that logic you are also no worse off. And your team may be better set for the coming weeks dependent on fixtures. I'd never allow a -4 affect the long term planning for the overall betterment of the team if its justifiable. Like anything in this game it can go tits up just as easy (red cards, OGs, injuries) but thats the risk/reward conversation you have to have with yourself!

The greatest team in history
Yeah captain Salah for me against a more attacking Palace side this season. Hopefully that = space.

Probably last week or two of Jota and Greenwood being 100% nailed as well because it sounds like Firmino and Cavani/Rashford might start training with the team after the weekend.

This was my logic. Gambling on the -4 being covered by a clean sheet in the next couple of weeks, having a Wolves player for their great run and removing a weak link (Tsimikas) holding me back

Anyone think that the confidence boost that Palace got last week could be the basis for an heroic showing at Anfield??

Basically, I want an excuse to captain Ronaldo

I'm on a WC. Should I stick with Greenwood or take a bit of a punt on Pepe? Thinking Greenwood's the more logical choice but I like the differential potential Pepe gives me. Either can be replaced with Torres/Mount once City and Chelsea's fixtures ease up.

Id go Jota for a punt

Love Ronaldo, but hard to see captaining him over Salah this week, home to Palace.

What thinks we all?
Both will score. But they'll have a better result than us so Salah could get assists too and hopefully bonus points

:lol: I was watching a couple of livestreams where they suggested he picked up something last night but that has since been disproven. He will start. Rejoice you muppets!
Why you.. :smirk:

Anybody ever look at their team just after it’s locked and think “I hate that” :lol:

Anyone else captain Ronnie? Have a feeling Palace will pull off one of their unbelievable away performance that they have in them. Have been hard to break down this year so far.
Edit: I'm desperate for validation after changing my pick at the last minute...

I went the opposite way. I know my mate is going to captain Salah over Lukaku, so I played it safe and went Salah over Ronaldo.

They got an unexpected result last week... Lightning won't strike twice.

Spent a couple of hours yesterday and today mulling over my options. I know rolling the transfer won’t have been optimal, but it felt like I may well make things worse or just waste a transfer forcing a move. I know that I want triple Chelsea in GW7, so that’s my priority. Tsimikas needs to go, but I couldn’t identify the right -4 to move him on.

Sanchez
TAA Shaw Ayling Duffy
Salah (c) Greenwood Torres Benrahma
Ronaldo (v) Ings

Steele, Brownhill Tsimikas Antonio

72.8k overall. All been green arrows overall just about so far.

I'm a Salah Captain chicken too.

At this point being boring and going with a certified penalty taker at home seemed the obvious

Went Ronaldo captain. Everybody else has Salah on captaincy. Think I’m going to be really happy with my decision. Nothing like rooting against the scouse and cheering on a Ronaldo goal !

Insiders probably shouldn’t be allowed to play to be honest.
