I still have all my chips. My dilemma is Garnacho has been a dud since I bought him, Bowen I’ve owned since the start but he’s blanked recently and I need to get Haaland back (for Alvarez). Thinking is to get Gordon and KdB/Richarlison in for Garnacho and Bowen. Plus the Haaland move.

Is it a good time to bring Haaland back? I assume Alvarez drops to the bench? I don’t want to take a hit but I also don’t think “just” 3-4 transfers is enough to play a WC chip. Any advice would be appreciated @Dirty Schwein @whoever @CassiusClaymore @Moby

He has been points wise, but a 4.8m is only ever a punt.
And if you watched our game yesterday it was utterly insane he didn't get an assist. He played one that Hojlund was fractionally offside for, and then 4-5 others where he laid it off and the shooter screwed their lines.

Garnacho is bench player, don't worry about him. Most players are bringing Haaland back so if you wanna keep up, I would recommend it. I would personally keep Alvarez until the double is done. Ignore Richarlison, Spurs have a couple of blanks potentially.

Followed you and others' tips to shunt Archer into dodge and temporarily role the KDB, Alvarez, Haaland bandwagon.

Have Haaland captain at the moment which doesn't feel superb. But open to persuasion.

Put it this way, there's only 0.1% chance Archer can make you regret the move :lol:

I've got all of them in my team as well but I've gone for KDB captaincy.

Decent shout but I prefer to captain players nailed for 90 mins with pens and bonus.

Watkins was 90 EO last GW without any captaincy so he's gonna go around 120 this time. If I turn into a true EO bitch he gets it.
Solanke ticks all the boxes above and has a great fixture. But it's fecking Bournemouth.
Newcastle is the team I trust most to go apeshit at home in attack so that's the most exciting pick for me. I worry if there's no Isak because he injects insane chaos up front and opens up Gordon.
There's also Foden and Alvarez.

Gordon is the highest ceiling. Solanke is the sensible option. Watkins is the coward option but that game is really juicy in theory as well.

Bloody hell! You've got me questioning my captaincy now :lol: :lol: I've already had to deal with the dilemma of benching either Foden or Haaland (I upgraded(?) Alvarez to Haaland yesterday).

This is my team as of now.
Pickford (Areola)
Porro Estu Burn (Saliba, Branthwaite)
Saka Gordon Palmer KDB(c) (Foden)
Watkins Solanke Haaland

Will replace Foden with Garnacho next week, so that I can get Son back into my team when he returns.
 
I've got Twatkins and Alvarez, chaps. Which should I drop for Haaland?

Should I replace both with Haaland and Solanke? Please advise
 
Areola
Trippier Gabriel Estu
Saka Maddison Foden Palmer Gordon
Haaland Watkins

Subs: Toney, Udogie, Walker

Should i start Toney instead of Foden? or instead on anyone at all?

Also, udogie away to everton vs gabriel home to liverpool?
 
Watkins, Solanke , Palmer or haaland …. Who we captaining? Currently on Watkins who got a massive 2pt haul against SHU last time around

Absolutely. I was fuming with all those missed chances.

Gotcha for all the advice, thanks. I guess the question should’ve been Bowen/Saka for Gordon/Richarlison. But with spurs blanking, maybe the Richarlison move is short term. And Bowens been a good asset all season. He’s just going through a bit of a dry patch.
 
Bought in Solanke and made him captain so expect him to blank.

The other option was Gordon for Bowen but rather not do that as he's playing Luton. Will probably do this move next week and that will allow me to get KDB the week after and have KDB/Foden/Haaland for city's double.

Now to figure out if I should start Saliba or Doughty...

Would need to see the whole squad but Watkins is playing the worst team in the league and Haalands expected minutes are still uncertain.

Most are taking the chance Haaland will outscore Alvarez and beyond that we know we want him long term so if squad is in otherwise decent shape it's probably the move worth making now.

Watkins to Solanke probably wouldn't be worth a -4 but will free up a bit for making the necessary midfield upgrades in future weeks. Ivan Toney is another option though. It's a move I'd probably wait until next week unless you have 2 FT
 
Shit. Cant decide between KDB and Haaland. And i know i will pick wrong one.

Did a switcheroo... Palmer captain and Solanke vice. It felt depressing making a Bournemouth player captain
 
Areola Dubravka
TAA Gabriel Porro Guehi Taylor
Saka Foden Bowen Gordon Palmer
Alvarez Watkins Solanke

2FT

Alvarez -> Haaland
Saka -> KDB

Dubravka
TAA Gabriel Porro
KDB (c) Foden Gordon Palmer
Haaland Watkins Solanke

Areola, Bowen, Guehi, Taylor

Decent fixtures this week so expecting good points. Watkins, Bowen and Guehi at risk of the chopping block. Eyeing up the likes of Toney/Hojlund, Garnacho/Son and Trippier/Botman
 
Hmm. Assuming most people get 3 Liverpool players for the dgw25, best approach to navigate the blank in 26?
Free hit looking tempting.
 
Not overthinking this one. Son to Jota. Bench Bowen for his inevitable haul against us now...

Dubs
Tripps Stupidman Porro
Saka Jota Palmer Foden
Haaland (c) Solanke Twatkins

Nipples, Bowen, Gabriel, Doughty
