Now that Martinelli is in I'm half tempted to captain him.
Fantasy Premier League 23/24
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I have it on him at we speak. Waiting on Saka news before its go time though.
Will keep Foden and ship Maddison in stead with the new injury update on him.
Already had it. Non committal from Arteta as usual. Didn't train yesterday, see how he is today blah blah blah. Can't be arsed with him
Have a nice team with the big hitters, but obviously a lack of flex in the lower value players.
Areola (Turner)
Gabriel Trippier , Pau, Tsim (Lascelles)
Salah (c), Son, Saka, Luiz (Palmer)
Haaland, Watkins
Actually considering Pau to Maguire, as I have 2 freebies, and don't want to lose any of the big hitters I've only just wildcarded in. Would save 0.3m too.
Palmer over any starter defender? Stung me for 12 points on the bench last week!

This Maddison injury is causing me a headache.
I will take the -4 to replace this week, that was the first decision.
Was planning to do Mbeumo > Mitoma for the short term this week if I had no transfers I needed to do elsewhere based off fixtures but that's gone out the window. Mitoma is still viable as a Maddison replacement as are other Brighton assets. It's a nice run they have upcoming. Also considering Bowen and Martinelli. Good fixtures for those 2 as well.

I prefer higher upside so would drop Pau. Or Mags if you bring him in, which could be a good transfer.
Thats no good. I know if i captain him he will be on the bench and come in the last minutes, Saka that is.
Might stick with the Martinelli cap then, if for nothing else to chase that feeling from last year.
Reward higher from Palmer, but so is the risk. He seems to play really good for Chelsea at the moment, and is involved in most of what they do.
If the game against spurs did not have the first red card in it i think he would be quite quiet thought, and City is a better team than Spurs.
Palmer over Tsimi.
Liverpool home to Brentford though, over Chelsea playing Man City?
Was a bit of a freak Palmer filling his boots v Tottenham.
Maddison out till January, the early transfer was not wrong. Let's hope Saka is not injured though
Don't care. He's an attacker who's on pens. Tsimi might not even start. Up to you anyway.
Team finalised.
Areola
Cash, Guehi, Lascelles
Gordon, Martinelli, Mbeumo, Salah (c), Son
Haaland (vc), Watkins
Turner, Tsimikas, Archer, Kabore

Taking the risk and captaining Bowen against Forest this weekend. Could work out great in catching up some ground in my work league or completely back fire, the latter I imagine.
Ive captained Evan Ferguson against Sheff Utd this weekend and dropped Haaland to the bench as he did nothing home or away against Chelsea in the league last season.
This will not go well.
Start of Tottenham's inevitable drop to 6th.
Wonder how much this'll affect Son.
Yeah I'd go palmer over tsim
I think it'll affect him in that the team is worse but Son is a great scorer of individual goals as well, so I think he'll be OK but not as good.
The Maddison injury actually ended up helping me because my plan to sell Haaland and get the Spuds duo and Trippier has been put on indefinite hold, with Newcastle nursing injuries and playing away.
I took the arm band off Haaland , never thought of Bowen. Hojlund is another option, but I played it safe and went with Salah.
Ederson
Digne, Branthwaite, Tsimikas
Salah, Son, Gordon, Bowen, Saka
Haaland, Alvarez
Subs: Areola, Kabore, Estupinian, Archer
Thinking to do:
GW12 - Ederson to Raya
GW13 - Digne to Saliba
GW14 - Bowen to Mbeumo
How does that sound?

Think Dyche said Branthwaite is a doubt and Moreno is back. That back 3 could be in trouble. I'm benching Tsimi for Lascelles and going double Newcastle with Trips in there.
I'm hoping Moreno don't come straight in and I have Kabore to step in for Branthwaite.
I'll probably just start Kabore given his form and fixture this GW.
Ok I will!
Team locked :
Areola
Trippier-Saliba-Cash
Saka-Bowen-Diaby-Martinelli(c)
Watkins-Haaland-Alvarez

Our run of good fixtures is short so I think I would avoid Maguire now and I’d play Palmer over Tsimi.
I just brought in the GOAT Harry Maguire for Udogie.
The Friday night Beers advice me here and there to not take this game too serious and just have a bit of fun....Let's see how this one plays out

Is it mad to be thinking of bringing in Højlund?? Surely he’s due a prem goal?
I find this sudden Martinelli hype insane. Arsenal have hardly been an attacking force and he's hardly been great in that run.
Saka is much more reliable.
Saka is much more reliable.
Oh, I really feel that. I have him in. That's where the sirens should start going off for you.
First two sound fine. I suspect you'll want to change that GW14 transfer by then though.
Good to have a plan mind.
Yeah it could be Son to be fair but it gives me a few weeks to see how things go.First two sound fine. I suspect you'll want to change that GW14 transfer by then though.
Good to have a plan mind.
Will dalot be dropped ?
I would would think so - I reckon Reguilon will start today.
My question is will Tsimikas be dropped??
Yeah, think I'd even gamble on Trossard over Martinelli.
Start Cash or Reguilon?
I put him in
So like Maddison, KDB, Saka and several others he's probably going to get injured be out for 3 months.
I have this unbreakable tradition that for my annual Old Trafford trip I always have a United player as captain. I’ve done that for the last 5 seasons.
I’m now in Manchester, heading to the Luton game later today, and my only United player in the squad is Maguire, so there we go.
