Yeah that was the most predictable CS wipeout ever. Still annoying mind.
You watch Salah blank tomorrow now.
You watch Salah blank tomorrow now.
I thought it was him coming off, not Lo Celso so I made the post after they conceded..
Spurs defence really is a bunch of unfocused clowns in the laag 10 minutes.
This must be the 3rd game or something.
Luiz worked out, at least for this week. No chance Haaland rises or Alvarez drops before I can do a 1 for 1 FT, unless I smell burning tires and clutch my arm, in which case FPL is no longer a priority. Overall, I think the final WC worked out:
Raya (didn't work) Areola (TBD)
Porro (Rightnr just screwed us all) Gabriel (at least he was benched) Estu (TBD), TAA (TBD but I'm thinking better than Trips for a few weeks), Gusto (bust this week, but I think I'll bank enough ITB to upgrade later even after Haaland returns)
Bowen, Saka, Foden, Palmer, Luiz (It worked so far, and I suspect in some form of this will be the Template for AFCON/Asia Cup except for Richarlison)
Solanke, Alvarez, Watkins (I captained Watkins this week, so it worked). And, I can move from any of these to Haaland in 1 FT. Overall, unless Salah bangs - I'm at least 2 FTs up on everyone who didn't because I have no AFCON/Asian Cup players. BTW - great to have you back active in the thread @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson

I don't own him so I'm glad they conceded again.
Just fecking sad that I have to get 0 fecking points from Saliba again. He really needs binning off along with Trippier. Useless cnuts.
Had Udogie and Porro 
Saka and Son goals and we push on to 67.
Don't expect much from Areola and Trippier, but TAA and Salah might perform.
Sort of hope Salah doesn't do much as loads will have captained. Maybe what Son did today would be the ideal limit.

Glad it went well.. and yes, you’re ahead of the game re transfers
City and Wolves are the only teams to keep a CS (so far).
Was torn between Walker and Gabriel… guess which I went for.

I have double Arsenal defence and saved my FT this week. Should have binned Zinchenko already but thinking I might go for Sailba because he'll give me more spare cash.
Everyone's DEF has been absolute sh*te so far. It's a showdown between Trips owners vs. TAA owners now.
WC played going into GW20 and it's been a good GW so far with 71 points and TAA, Bowen and Estupinan to go.
Team right now:
Pickford (Dubra)
TAA, Estupinan, Porro (Zinchenko, Gusto)
Saka, Richarlison, Bowen, Palmer, Foden
Watkins, Alvarez (Solanke)
7,7M ITB
Will roll transfer this round unless we get definite news Haaland is back and starting.

Spurs always bottle the clean sheet FFS.
Hoping for a Salah mystery illness as I've Watkins as VC and Palmer sitting firmly on my bench for the second gameweek running because I'm an idiot who thought that double Spurs defence was worth going 4-3-3 for. Idiot.
Just 29 so far. Captain Salah, Bowen and Ward-Prowse to come. Could do with West Ham banging 7 in.
Why do I keep not putting Palmer in, trying to be clever?
Went Son & Martinelli to Saka and Sterling in a round about way a few weeks back.
Then Sterling to Richarlison. To be fair Palmer was suspended that week as well as Sterling.
Now Gordon to Ward Prowse this past week.

Glad I stuck with Semedo in my starting and not bench him
61 with Salah Trent and nipples to go.
Almost identical. Marginally few more points, and a possible 1 point extra from Trippier as my 4th player left.
Not going to worry about price changes, but will instead monitor the Haaland situation and any other injuries before working out how to deal with the Son / Salah situation.
2 weeks to the next league games, so no rush.
No doubt Bowen will be first port of call, but let's see him through their next game and still fit etc in 10 days time.

Need to decide on wildcard now, with a built-in plan for after the international tournaments or wildcard after AFCON/Asian Cup.
The plan was to wildcard after, and requires less thinking. Only got Salah going away as I was moving towards this point for a good while anyway with my choice of transfers.
My team has been crap for weeks though, might just tear it up. Plenty of time to decide.

I bet it’s not crap, chuck it up
You’ve got Jennifer Anniston in your team?!
Dubravka Turner
Konsa Zinchenko Porro Lascelles Branthwaite
Richarlison Bowen Salah Saka Ward-Prowse
Watkins Haaland Archer
It's not bad on paper, but out of form players and what turned out to be a lot of wrong transfers and decisions has seen me plummet!
Was OR 73k after GW10, still as high as 101k after GW14. All the way down to 807k right this second.
GW12 Van de Ven (got injured) > Guehi, Palace had clean sheets early in the season, dried up after that
GW12 Maddison (injured) > Martinelli, he looked electric in a European game then did nothing in the league
GW13 Kabore > Branthwaite, fine
GW14 Son > Sterling, Maddison had been injured 2 weeks, felt it was affecting Spurs and Son had blanked in both, Chelsea's fixtures looked good, could have held Son or took Palmer
GW15 Martinelli > Saka, correcting the Martinelli mistake but Saka hasn't been great since
GW16 Mbeumo (injured) > Bowen, fine!
GW16 Areola > Dubravka (for a -4), think Areola and Turner were both temporarily dropped around then, only 1 CS for Dubravka since
GW17 Cash > Konsa, was trying to get rid of Cash for a while, not producing, droppped by Villa. Took Konsa on the back of cleanies vs. City and Arsenal with Brentford (A) with no Mbeumo, Sheff Utd (H), United (A) when we couldn't score in a brothel, and Burnley (H) upcoming. Conceded in all 4.
GW18 Guehi > Porro, ok but I'm a bit late on Porro. 9 points in 3 weeks since taking him and Spurs looking leaky right now with a depleted squad
GW19 Tsimikas (injured) > Zinchenko, conceeded 2 against West Ham, didn't even play against Fulham, meanwhile I suggested Gomez in this thread as a straight swap Tsimikas replacement to others and he kept a cleanie at the first attempt
GW19 Sterling > Richarlison (for a -4) fine so far, 1 goal in 2 for Richarlison
GW20 Gordon > Ward Prowse, not played yet this week, still don't know why I didn't take Palmer! Newcastle looking out of sorts though and 4/5 blanks for Gordon so could be wise to bin him off.Time will tell.
----------------------
My handling of Haaland was very poor. Thought he'd only miss weeks 17 and 18, deciding to play Archer in both. Dropped Archer to my bench after week 17 and played an extra defender instead only for Archer to score 8 points in week 18! Held Haaland since, not wanting to take further hits. Meanwhile everyone is on Solanke, and even with the abandoned game made loads of points on me.
Captains not producing apart from one week recently too. 6, 26, 6, 4, 6. Still got Salah for this week.

Not sure you need to WC instantly, what team would you put out next week/how many tfrs free?
Just 1 free transfer, Salah > Someone. Could finally get Palmer, Odegaard an option or a jump onto De Bruyne. Hopefully Haaland is confirmed as back by then.
Fear a bit for Newcastle vs. City as their defence has been poor lately so Lascelles and Dubravka possibly benched. They are at home though. Fear for Porro too. We all saw what United did to Villa's high line, and Spurs will play the same way with lots of their squad missing. Good assist potential though. Branthwaite always an option. Will likely line up like this with the exception of Salah.

Your call but personally I’d keep it. I tend to use when I’ve got half a dozen upwards of sh!t players OR when fixtures completely change and all of a sudden, my players look like they’ll struggle to get decent points.
WH, Spurs, Arse, Villa got decent fixtures (bar one or two) in next eight so you have a base and a tfr/week (could even take a hit?) plug gaps?
Not in squad
Oh joy, Lascelles on their bench is my fill in then for a guaranteed 0!
Hope Trippier being out doesn't let alone get that Palmer haul in.
Salah could still pull a hammy during the warm-upI bet many people celebrating right now that.
My ladt chance is Bowen.
Going to lose 0.9 value if I sell Salah and Son. Presumably they’ll drop a bit but can’t see it being more than .3 or .4 collectively. Slightly annoying.
Happens when you go hiking in Vermont.Groin strain apparently.
Did the early transfer again but happy with it. Gross for Salah and Estu for Zinchenko.
Will look to move on Saliba probably as well and get Foden or KdB depending on how City are faring.
Not sure Haaland will be playing anytime soon.

I had exact money for tfrs and Salah may drop. Would have liked to hold but had to press the button
Salah's on pens, right?
Ok, fecks this. 14 point swing on that and Trent also missed ffs
How many of us have Dubravka on the bench?
