Couple of changes (in the replies) but useful list of who’s going to Afcon.
Onana!

Forest with 6 going? They might struggle. Brentford knackered too with no Mbeumo (injured now anyway) or Wissa. Toney is back around then of course but it's doubtuful he'll be sharp.Couple of changes (in the replies) but useful list of who’s going to Afcon.

Yeah I feel it needs done. Need Son in urgently too but Mbuemo and Haaland to Son and Solanke makes sense for a -4 I think. When I'm going back to Haaland I can swap Darwin out
Similar timescales, second week Jan to second week Feb (obviously depending on how far their teams progress).
GWs21-24 (max).
Son misses United I think
In the past few seasons I've barely needed a bench up until the busy Christmas period yet I could have a half decent one quite easily. This season every week there's fires to put out and the bench is shite because so many expensive players are firing.
Yes! Finally rid of Cash. Konsa in.
Not the most imaginative replacement but looks decent. Two clean sheets on the bounce now for Villa.
Fixtures = BRE (A), SHU (H), MUN (A), BUR (H), EVE (A), NEW (H)
Banked £0.3m for making the change.

Salah, Son, Twatkins all went up. Areola dropped.
Should I keep Garnacho and let him feature with the might 1-2 points against Liverpool, or take a hit and buy Tavernier?
Won't lie, going into next weekend without Salah gives me anxiety. Such a blunder from me to change my initial plan and swap him for Haaland before last week, serves me right for deviating from my plan.

Activated my wildcard just now. Probably too late with the price risers but oh well. 0.6 ITB, will roll over a transfer to GW18 and then bring in Haaland for Salah after GW18 or GW19.
Very happy with that, and barring injuries I've got a plan for the holiday fixtures in place. A lot of teams in my mini league also have the likes of Trippier, Digne, Haaland, ... so might struggle with transfers this week.
Martinez - Dubravka
Livramento - TAA - Walker - Porro - Kaboré
Salah - Son - Saka - Bailey - Sarr
Solanke - Darwin - Watkins

It's good but I'd find alternatives to Kabore and Sarr. I assume they are bench players but they're going to Afcon so won't be much use to you in a few weeks and you'll have Son and Salah to deal with so won't need the headache.
FFS
Didn't think much further than Son and Salah for the cups. Salah will be gone when Haaland gets back in and Son the week after, but indeed could've chosen more useful bench players yeah.You can still change it. No worries.FFS
Oh wow, didn't know that. Thanks a lot!
Yep, once you activate the Wildcard you can change it as many times as you want until the deadline, just be careful of taking out players who have got a price rise as it will still cost you the extra 0.1 to put them back into your team. Best thing when you hit the Wildcard is to check price rises before you go to bed and put those players in.

It was @Dirty Schwein who lured us all in with the whole bollocks parade.
You did the move first you snake!
Lads we're in this together now. Let's not turn on each other.
Save that for the weekend when he hauls.

Absolutely. Bullied me in to bringing in Solanks last night
Triple Captain Haaland time! Hat-trick incoming!
I still don't think he'll play against Palace. Apparently Alvarez is being rested tonight which is an indicator.
I still have my first wildcard. Does anyone know when I need to use it by before I lose it?
Alvarez has started most, if not all, games in the PL or am i way off there?
He has but he's the only one they've got who can play up front when Haaland is injured.
Yes thats true, and i am not sure Haaland will play against Palace. But i think Alvarez would be rested anyway in this match and they rather play with no real forward like they did the last 30 minutes against Young Boys f.ex.
Dec 30th.
I think most people would kill for a wildcard at the moment. Lesson definitely learnt this season about holding onto it for when the fixtures start piling up and injuries happen and not when "Chelsea's fixtures turn good" 
Funnily I thought you and others who went really early especially dumping the chelsea and united assets early used it perfectly and have been flying through the ranks. I took the biggest hit in my rank in GW5 where I had triple chelsea and captained Son, it threw me into 2m+ and it has been a recovery climb ever since.I think most people would kill for a wildcard at the moment.

Went up maybe 2 million places due to using the wildcard and going for Newcastle players in time instead of Chelsea's frauds.I think most people would kill for a wildcard at the moment.

Could definitely use one now, mind you. 4 players out and close to even pulling a free hit. Maybe the lesson this season for me is to keep a wide squad due to the insane amount of injuries.
Mate I wildcarded them in like you.
What doesn't help squad management is when you have little spells pissing about switching the same players in and out.
Usually getting it wrong in all ways.

I didn't use the WC that early and did it in GW10 which in fairness was a bit later. But I think you are still well ahead of others and would likely finish with a great rank this season.
Of course Gordon is flagged after last night. Meh. Just got to ride this one out now. No more hits.
We still thinking Salah captain? Alvarez, Son, Saka decent differential shouts? Picking the right one this week could be massive.

Yes, Salah for me, Saka vice.
Agreed, I'm expecting a big scoring week for many. Lots of the popular players at home with good fixtures so plenty of captain choices.
