Areola/Johnstone

Trippier TAA Tsimikas Guehi Cash

Ward-Prowse Salah Foden Palmer Gordon

Alvarez Jesus Watkins

Goalies are zeroes… two City player out, so it’s ten from the remaining eleven.

Can roll transfer, play a zero goalie then use two tfrs next week (Salah/someone out… Haaland/someone in… lots of ITB)

or… get Leno in for decent fixtures/hopefully points which may need a -4 next week (if doing above moves)?

I'd go with the latter myself but I'm just allergic to players blanking if I can do something about it (even if it's the smart move to!)

I’d struggle with him as he’s a tw@t but then again I’ve got Trent, Foden, Gordon, Trippier so he’d fit right in.

Yep, I've got a team chock full of em too.

Probably the most safe player you can bring in atm. Expected pts this GW 4.8. Beware, he has 4 yellows though. (Resets after this GW and the next one).

Had him for ages now but am debating captaining him. Think I'll likely end up bottling it and going Mo though. Boring I know.

 

[suheilsworld]

Gordon owners are you keeping or selling?

I’m keeping him as don’t want to take a hit. I did an early transfer of binning Kelleher

 

[stretford_oslo]

Not very. My plan was to get rid of Tsimikas by this week. But he seems to be ticking. I don't think I ll get rid of an Arsenal defender for now.

Yeah i guess i end up saving my ft too.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

I'm all of a sudden getting a Salah captain hunch.

Who's with me? @Dirty Schwein @Moby ?

 

[Samid]

Haaland to Wilson. Who is with me?

 

[CassiusClaymore]

I don't dislike that transfer at all as long as you can get him back. Wilson could bang this week

Feck it, done Leno.

(and book marked this post so I can revisit with you if he concedes a penalty, saves it, gets retaken for coming off his line, then let’s it in and gets sent off for dissent)

Well yeah it's a straight swap back. Still have my first WC so want a fun 1-2 GW punt.

Ah ok. Yeah do it if there's no more pressing issues in your squad. I just don't trust him to start 2 games in quick succession or I'd have done it myself.

every single opinion of mine should come with a 'poster suggesting this is a hapless moron' disclaimer, so I get pity not blame.

Who's with me? @Dirty Schwein @Moby ?

Should we do it boys??

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Go for it.

I've done it at the last minute. Home versus an Arsenal team that will likely try to attack, think Salah might get something.

Watkins v SHU is my other option.

Agreed. Particularly after Klopp has riled up Anfield with his 'if you're not going to shout don't come along' or whatever comment. I reckon they'll be up for it.

Nah. I can't be sure of how high scoring that game is. Could be good but can't look away from Villa who have scored for fun at home vs Sheffield.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

He regularly gets something but he’s not the main man he once was… they’ve got Diaz, Gakpo, Szxholobuy, Donkey. Also Arsenal are a good team with Rice giving good cover… Liverpool won’t have the possession they have v most teams.

Watkins is Villas main man (ish) and while S Utd will try and defend with a 9-1-0 formation, Villa should have chances.

No guarantees but I’ll play the stats…. and my wife’s a Villa fan and shes happy if I captain a Villa player. Always good to keep people happy.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

feck missed the deadline, didn’t realise there was a game tonight argh. Thought the round begun with Aston Villa tomorrow.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

I missed the deadline anyway.

Likewise, by time I realised they had closed to 'update' meaning I couldn't make changes.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Fabian Schars team.. includes Gordon and Isak.

[Withnail]

Now i am changing to Watkins....because of you 2

Woops missed the deadline so Watkins is captain and Trips just scrapes on from the bench as City don't play and Pau is out

 

[Chipper]

There was a game last night? Didn't even know there was one tonight!

Glad I sold Guehi I suppose. Only the 1 goal conceded but some stragglers might still have Palace defenders from when they were keeping regular clean sheets a couple of months ago. Brighton are absolute clean sheet wreckers, only failed to score once.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

I think Gordon will play. Howe just said he's sore and they'll see how he is today.

 

[RaddyRed]

I brought in Wilson for Cunha. Wilson is going to be benched by the looks of it.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

I've gone from being an Ollie Watkins evangelist at the start of the season, to hoping he blanks this GW as I'm the only one in my league who hasn't captained him. Hopefully Son won't make me regret captaining him instead of Watkins.

 

[saivet]

Looking at sorting my team for next GW and considering starting Archer and putting Watkins on the bench.

Also still have my WC, so I may as well use a transfer for GW19 and thinking about bringing Trent in for Andersen and going 5 at the back to have:

Leno
Saliba, Livra, Tsimi, Porro, TAA
Palmer, Son, Salah (c), Saka
Solanke​

Subs: Pickford, Archer, Watkins, Kudus

If the benched players fixtures were better, I'd have thought about using bench boost as they're not bench fodder (apart from Archer).

Still have your WC?! Amazing patience.

That XI all have decent fixtures but dropping Watkins is a call… wonder if I’d lose a defender instead. Close.

 

[Samid]

Yet another captain fail then. No idea why I thought Watkins against a parked bus was a good idea.

You ok mate?

 

[Sandikan]

Watkins double handed shoved over and shirt held for good measure..no pen. Unbelievable.
The fact I have Watkins cap and Luiz who is the pen taker takes the biscuit.

 

[Sandikan]

Obvious attempted jinx.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

If this was Heckingbottom's defence then I'd have been tempted to captain him but I didn't fancy them to get a thrashing so early into Wilder's reign.

 

[suheilsworld]

This would’ve been the perfect week to have a Villa defender. SHU look shit

 

[Moby]

Imagine captaining shitekins

 

[Sandikan]

Yep they won't score.
But you just know Villa will score through someone like McGinn or Bailey who no-one has.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Imagine captaining shitekins

Look twat face... I told you we should captain Salah.

 

[Withnail]

Imagine captaining shitekins

What fool would have gone that, eh?

 

[Moby]

Look twat face... I told you we should captain Salah.

I actually checked back and most of us so far captained Son and Salah vs Sheffield and both of them blanked as well.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

At least get your customary 5 pointer Twatkins you utter twat.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Always captain Salah. Always captain Salah. Always captain Salah.

That will be my next tattoo. To not forget that shit. Or no regrats
