Anyone like a strong defence/attack combo?

Not a fan of that mate. Midfield is where you get the best points, and with Traore, who loves to under perform and Jota, who could be rotation risk and now with Benrahma not even guaranteed minutes, it's too risky.

You need a premium mid in my opinion.

Help. Straight up question.
After dozen combinations i have two options and please save my nerves by doing it iver and over again
Taa, Shaw, Dias, (White and Ayling)
Grealish, Traore, Greenwood, Benrahma (Gilmour)
Ronny, Lukaku, Antonio
OR
Taa, Shaw, Reguilon (Livramento, Ayling)
Traore, Raphinha, Son, Benrahma (Gilmour)
Ronny, Lukaku, Antonio

Basically it is;
Dias,Grealish and Greenwood vs Son, Raphinha and Reguilon.
They're quite equal, can't go wrong with either but I think the second has more upside because Son can be very explosive and Raphinha has great fixtures coming up.

Do the lads with multiple accounts not find that it takes the fun out of it if you can hedge your bets?

Surely the whole fun and excitement is about the risk and getting it right/wrong?

Again, I remember that you have to be very clear with posts on Caf.

Dias is better than Reguilon (even if doesn't play every game), Greenwood will score more points than Rafina IF he gets the same minutes, Son is better than Grealish.

Tight, first maybe? Just..

My bad mate, I must have not read the post properly. I did think that was a strange move considering you seem decent at FPL.

As my tag line says, should have known better :lol:

Don’t go by the fixture difficulty of 4 or the “red” notification that’s on the FPL website. Look at who they are actually playing. Man city and us are the only really tough games they have coming up. You can maybe include West Ham away to that.
Yea there next 3 games are great but the following 6 are not the best city, utd, westham and arsenal, ya I know arsenal :wenger: with Brighton and Watford being the minnows,

It's not the worst fixtures ever but still not great like some are saying, and if you did go for Jota you can switch to mount at gw7 when pool plays city

It’s Liverpool and Salah. They will score literally every game. Only City and United have good defenses so far. West Ham are conceding and don’t have a clean sheet yet. Brighton don’t have everyone back yet. Also Mount is going to be rotated too cause they got Saul.

They also play Milan, Porto and athleico X2 within that run of games and they have added no one to the squad they may score nearly every game but Salah doesn't score nearly every game , I'm just saying it's not as clear cut, he only got 6 assist last season and his point total has decreased every season

That is not an answer which i wanted. Ha ha ha. Thanks, man. I think first is better too.

Messing about with my team for fun. Managed to get in Ronaldo Lukaku and Kane with a very decent playing defence and midfield :lol: . Honestly didn't think it was possible, obviously no Salah and Bruno.

I wild carded at the start of the break, played around with my team and ended up with a squad I was happy with. Had a look again this morning and I’ve just realised I have 3 United, 3 Liverpool and 2 city players in my team.

I think it’s 3, 5 & 7 game weeks from now before they play each other but I’m probably going to have to switch my team up again. Never works out being loaded with only a few teams in your squad

I’m on wildcard at the minute and have a near identical team.
I have Gray + Torres (and 0.5 in the bank for potential upgrade to Jota)
Instead of Raphinha and Benrahma.

I’d keep an eye on Raphinha’s situation. He may miss the next game because of the International break thing and players not being allowed to travel. It’s only 1 game he may miss but still.

Greenwood and Pukki or Calvert-Lewin and Smith-Rowe?

I'm leaning towards the former, but I really want Calvert-Lewin. The 5.5m midfielders and the 6.0m forwards pools look poor.

I could get both Greenwood and Calvert-Lewin, but then I'd have to ditch TAA which I'm definitely not going to do. Ronaldo's move has fecked up everything.

I am so far punting on Salah not doing crazy well (270+) but just very well (220-240) this year. I know he will score a ton and may go above 240 points but as weird as it sounds having him in my team does take some fun away from the game.

So that’s what, about £63m-£64m on 12 players? You did well to get a good team/midfield with that - I spent £44.5m on my midfield alone this season

Why have so many people got Greenwood in their WC teams? Isn't his game time going to be restricted now? Won't Utd be lining up with Ronaldo striker, Sancho right wing, Pogba/Rashford left wing?

Sancho injury news means Mason pretty much starts now although he would have started anyway.

Ronaldo - Cavani - Greenwood? :drool:
Well that's sorted me out. feck you Gray, Trincao, Grealish, Torres and Jota... Welcome Greenwood! Now watch him stop scoring.

Greenwood might start anyway but wouldn't read much into the Sancho injury.

Why not take a week off and decide late doors.
Any injury or manager snippets will be out then.

Time to get Ronaldo? I have to sell Bruno to get him. I think the ones on pens is the best guy to have, but how do we know who gets them?
Ronaldo took the #7 off Cavani in a few minutes, a seasoned veteran and world profile… I think it took him seconds to take the penalties from Bruno to be fair. Like written in the contract without any fuzz or complaints, this is Ronaldo vs. a nobody in the grand scheme of things, of course he’ll take them.

That is logical plan. On paper. But price changes are also a factor. If you don't have even 0.1mil to spare then you must do it early.

Anyway, back to players. 25% have Grealish. Am i the only one who doesn't trust him?
He is not a goalscorer and in this City he is more Modric type; pre-assist man. For 8 mil he is a gamble

But anyone can get injured, giving you many more problems than a 0.1m thing.

And I would wager no. It's not just you. There's 75% without him

A ‘nobody’…!? Haha.

I get your point but that’s well harsh on Fernandes, a man who has single handedly dragged Utd back up the table and without whom, it’s very possible Ronaldo wouldn’t even be returning.
