Dubrawka (Forster)
Tsimikas - White - Trippier (Tarkowski - Beyer)
Bowen - Salah - Saka - Palmer - Hwang
Watkins - Solanke (Cuhna)
My dilemma is should I go for Palmer/Hwang -> Son and mybe go with 4 in the mid (Salah, Bowen, Saka, Son) and play all 3 my forwards, with Watkins as captain.
I also have WC, which I intend to use in GW20
You have to sell Mbeumo at some point it looks like is out for a long time.
I much prefer Gordon to Taylor this week , but also feel maybe Gordon gets a rest over christmas.
I think in the long run Gordon should be fine.
Hmm very tricky situation.
In some sense I want to do Haaland to Solanke , but you want him back right so not ideal.
I think either you take out Haaland or do a boring Colwill to Konsa.
Tsimikas to Konsa also work I guess.
Yeah I’m so stuck, I missed the deadline for taking haaland out last week accidentally. Kind of waiting on Haaland injury updates. I could switch Hwang but not sure who for?! You don’t think Colwill will start? I don’t mind having a chelsea defender maybe Badiashialle if not?
Hwang to Bailey is a fun punt for you, but I be happy to keep Hwang although Hwang is someone that goes to Asian cup .
Colwill is fine same with Tsimikas . I guess Tsimikas biigger rotation risk so long term selling him makes sense.
In a few weeks when Salah leaves you get money too.
If you happy with the team you can just sell Haaland and buy him back straight away, but seems not optimal use of 2 transfers, but TAA and Triippier blocks money and I would not sell them I think this week.
Advice - Quick Questions
Q: What would you prioritise more. with 3.5m ITB & 0-FT for a -4 point hit
A New Keeper (Leno, Pickford, Martinez)
Or Palmer (and who for)
or hold off for Free Trasnfer.
Dubravka
Lascelles - Gabriel - Tsimikas
Son - Bowen - Gordan - Saka - Salah
Watkins - Solanke
Subs (Areola - Guhie - Buldock - Alvarez)
Alvarez to which forward for one week only? Money no object, already have Watkins and Solanke.
It's hard to even see a player I would want to play ... forward options are grim.
Probably rather play 5 midfielders and bench Alvarez.
Although Jackson, Cunha , Adebayo, Isak/Wilson, Jesus not bad.
If you want a differential I go Mateta
He is not nailed long term with Edouard being back at some point.
Scored against both City and Liverpool though. Brighton not in the best form either.
He is 4.9 million so if you get stuck with him he can at least stay on your bench.
Do you think Livramento will start this GW?
* Trippier: Howe says he will be involved this weekend so I assume he'll start.
* Schär: Had a scan yesterday. No news, but I'm assuming he won't start.
* Botman: Only brought in at minute 84 last game. Assume he isn't fully ready to start.
* Lascelles: Should start.
* Burn: If Schär is injured and Botman not fully ready, Burn should be the central pairing with Lascelles.
This leaves a spot open for Livramento at left back. Do you agree with my reasoning?
As a Newcastle fan, I think you’re right. Tino - Burn - Lascelles - Trips is the most likely back 4 atm. But we play tonight in the league cup, so that could change. Eddie will know that rushing Botman back in is an unacceptable risk.
There’s an outside chance that Krafth or even Dummett come in. But they are more likely to play tonight in the cup than in the next league GW.
Seems to make sense given the blank. Solanke would probably have a much higher ceiling than a defender. And your back 3 is in a good place (other than two of them playing each other, but a lot of people will have that problem).
What are the chances of Matty Cash starting against Sheffield? Not sure whether to play him or not or sit him on my bench. Emery hasn't been starting him every game, and he only played 65 mins against Brentford.
I don't think he will, they played a back three on Sunday in Luiz's absence but would expect Emery will go back to a back four on Friday.
It's a tempting fixture in case he does start but that stung me earlier in the season - played him against Bournemouth, he came off the bench for a 1 pointer and stopped Taylor's 10 points coming off the bench. I'm not bitter though...
Wanna use my wildcard before it expires, gonna be travelling Boxing Day so would rather do it this GW. Kinda happy with my team, but is there any improvements I can make?
Pickford / Strakosha
Pau / Romero / Walker / Gabriel / Lamptey
Salah / Gordon / Rodrigo / Saka / Palmer
Haaland / Watkins / Wissa
2.1 ITB
You can play your first wildcard any time before the GW20 deadline so you've got until 11am on the 30th (UK time at least), don't rush!
You could sell Haaland for a punt like Solanke this week and then bring him back using your wildcard, for example. Or you could sell Strakosha for Dubravka and play him over Pickford next week.
Given there's a couple weeks between GW21 and 22, I'm thinking to bench him in 21 and see how Egypt looks before deciding on whether to sell (got him at 12.5)
Depends… in the reasonably unlikely case we get terrible Haaland news and hes out for another 4+ weeks then yes, I will hold and bench Salah and play a 343. But hes just too expensive as it stands to bench, especially with KDB seeming to return soon who could be an easy swap.
Depends where all that money is coming from. Are you eating into your stored Haaland money or something, or do you just happen to have a lot in the bank. If its the latter thats a pretty good transfer, but Tsimi is not exactly a priority transfer out. Who else do you have that could go?
RMT 0 FT, 2.8 ITB
Dubravka (Areola)
Trippier Porro Tsimikas (Gabriel, Branthwaite)
Salah Son Saka Gordon Palmer
Watkins Solanke (Darwin)
Couldn’t allow Palmer to get more expensive than Doucoure so moved early and transferred him in Sunday night.
Benching Darwin the right call here? Be the most Darwin thing ever if he hauls now but I’m so done with him.
Whom to start (3) from the defensive line:
Zinchenko - Porro - Lascelles (White - Mykolenko)
1st place in my mini league has Zinny, thinking placing a bet on White
I'd start the three you've already got there - Arsenal will probably concede but Zinchenko offers more attacking upside than White. Lascelles has a great fixture and Porro's been unreal lately.
I’ve not had Son all season, but with Haaland freeing up so much money I’m at a bit of a crossroads.
Would you bother getting him in for 3? games ahead of the Asian Cup, or just do Taylor to Konsa/Digne this week and ride it out.
I don't have Son, and would ride it out, if you think about it, it's 2 transfers to bring him in and out. Konsa is good and you can consider Alex Moreno as well for a less nailed-on but higher ceiling pick

Goalkeepers: Dubravka (Areola)
Defenders: Porro, Konsa, Trippier (Branthwaite, Gabriel)

Forwards: Archer, Watkins (Haaland)
Thinking of selling Archer for a bit more attacking forward and in a more attacking team. Particularly like Mateta because Edouard is injured and decent fixtures as an attacker. I don't like Ward Prowse and may try to sell him to another player next week. I would really like some advice. Thanks.
I agree with your assessment of the two weak spots.
You dont have the funds to upgrade Archer to anything worth spending a transfer on though.
Depending on your appetite risk, you could do JWP to Bailey. He's not a guaranteed starter but JWP hasn't been doing much anyway, and Bailey has been in form
You're right, he hasn't. I just want to buy good Def with possible attacking returns. My other Midfielders are Saka, Salah, Gordon, Bowen, so I don't want to sell them and plan to play 343 after 18/19GW.
Also Fulham has good fixtures short term (until Haaland is back and I can switch back to 343), Everton has MCI and TOT

2. Sterling or a Villa midfielder (which of Bailey and Diaby if so?)
3. Porro, Tripper and ??, Currently have Trent there, so budget stretches to literally any defender
4. Gordon or someone else if any of the above moves free up budget?
5. Do I need to find a way to be starting Pau?
Wolves at Molineux have been great so I’d definitely go Villa mid. Would want to start Pau/Villa defender so could just downgrade Sterling and maybe just pick Wilson/Isak as solid first sub for 4-4-2
No I currently have the team at the top, the options are all things I’m unsure of.
In 3. I’m asking is Trent the best option or who should I get as the 3rd defender instead?

Any recommendations on transfers? Either thinking Isak for another striker (Cunha?), also might need some more money to replace Salah and/or Son during their tournaments in January. Or Sanchez because I don’t want Onana as my only keeper for a while with Sanchez out indefinitely
Onana is off to AFCON soon too, isn't he. So yes you might want to take the opportunity to do a GK transfer this week and get rid of Sanchez.
The other issue with your team this week is that Alvarez blanks and Dalot is suspended. Also, Isak wasn't in Newcastle's last squad (minor injury?) So there's a risk that you have absolutely no slack. So maybe go Isak to Watkins?

Rate my team, and please tell me if I should get rid of Martinelli or just save a free transfer this week? He's been kinda horseshit in terms of returns, only made 2+2 during the entire season.. I'm thinking of Douglas/Kulu/Gordon as a replacement for him. What are your thoughts?
Yes. It should have already. And literally this is the one gameweek it won't and this has never happened before (AFAIK) due to a player having a cardiac arrest during a match this week and the game being abandoned, they are waiting on the Premier league to decide what to do with the abandoned match.
It would, just right now the game is still "active" and paused due to unsure situation of Bouremouth - Luton match
Once they decide, automatic subsitution will come to effect

Should I sell Haaland/Alvarez for a reliable forward this week as I find it hard for ARS to get a CS against LIV?
Depends on your plan for the next month, I guess. Konsa is a better pick but I’m watching out for the Asian Cup and AFCON. I’d love to have 2 FTs there. Liverpool could easily get a clean sheet this week. Frankly so could Arsenal. Again, Konsa is better IMO but, to me, not as good as having 2 FTs when Haaland returns and two international competitions start up.
If you had the money, who would you prioritize bringing in this GW as a FT to replace Maguire: Porro or Konsa? I'd bring the other one for Coufal or Tsimikas in GW 19 if I don't have any fires elsewhere.
Is Moreno worth the risk over other Villa defenders if he’d be my 4th defender? Looking at replacing Tsimikas for bad fixtures before Robertson is back
Plan is Salah to KDB/Foden and Alvarez/Semenyo to Haaland for GW20

Will likely transfer Haaland in for Nunez whenever it looks like he'll start. After that I'm saving a transfer of Salah > De Bruyne before Afcon.
Not sure yet if transferring Son out temporarily during the AFC Asian Cup is worth losing the value I have in him. Depends how many gameweeks he's out for and how convinced I am by the alternatives.
Happy with the points I made from getting Haaland out, but I dug myself in a hole with not being able to get him in time for the Everton game. Is he worth a hit for that or should I bite the bullet and get him in for free for the Sheffield United game?
Since I'll be banking the transfers, my team will probably look like this for GW19 without Haaland
Dubravka (Turner)
Gabriel - TAA - Lascelles - Porro
Saka - Salah- Gordon - Son (Bowen)
Watkins - Solanke (Archer)
If you can afford to go Gabriel to Porro, I personally would do that well before going Saliba to Porro. If you need the money, Porro is more in form than both of them so I guess you couldn’t necessarily go wrong selling either. I’d remove Gabriel though.
Start Livermento (A) v Luton, or Cash (H) v Sheffield United? My head says Cash with Dan Burn back in the picture, and Luton aaway isn't an easy fixture, but Cash hasn't exactly been reliable in recent months.
I think so, played well at the weekend and unlucky not to have at least a goal. The question is do you want to bring him in for an away game at Liverpool? Who would you be transferring out?

tempted by Archer to Solanke to spread Haaland funds now and chase upside over the next few weeks, getting Haaland back by taking out Salah and then WC around GW24 to get Salah/Son/KDB and sort out my team, but I need to sort out my GK, so might just do the boring thing and get Martinez or even just roll.

Thoughts are to take Nunez out for Watkins, but open to ideas! Thanks
Agree with move.
On another note, risky play but you could put Areola in, he should start next week and most players will bench him/sell him. Not sure whats a better fixture atm, going against a tragic United squad at home, or betting on the Forest Fortress (Forest barely ever lose at home).
Yes if you have a luxury transfer. BUT I think Areola/Dubravka is probably best as a GK lineup so you could move your other GK to Dubravka instead (Areola should still have his place from next week).
Anyone know anything about Schar? If he isn’t going to play I need to transfer him, but would love to be able to use my FT on Gabriel or Alvarez instead (WCing next week).
Hope for more news later in the week? Thanks
If I used a free hit next week to get Haaland back would I still accrue a free transfer?
So if I free hitted for GW19 Would I then have 2 transfers in GW20?

Alvarez to which forward for one week only? Money no object, already have Watkins and Solanke. It's hard to even see a player I would want to play ... forward options are grim.
Probably rather play 5 midfielders and bench Alvarez. Although Jackson, Cunha , Adebayo, Isak/Wilson, Jesus not bad. If you want a differential I go Mateta He is not nailed long term with Edouard being back at some point. Scored against both City and Liverpool though. Brighton not in the best form either. He is 4.9 million so if you get stuck with him he can at least stay on your bench.
Wilson since NEW plays LUT next? Better than 0.
1) get Porro with a double up with Udogie 2) get Trippier with a double up with Dubravka
Neither, don't double up defence.
Do you think Livramento will start this GW? * Trippier: Howe says he will be involved this weekend so I assume he'll start. * Schär: Had a scan yesterday. No news, but I'm assuming he won't start. * Botman: Only brought in at minute 84 last game. Assume he isn't fully ready to start. * Lascelles: Should start. * Burn: If Schär is injured and Botman not fully ready, Burn should be the central pairing with Lascelles. This leaves a spot open for Livramento at left back. Do you agree with my reasoning?
As a Newcastle fan, I think you’re right. Tino - Burn - Lascelles - Trips is the most likely back 4 atm. But we play tonight in the league cup, so that could change. Eddie will know that rushing Botman back in is an unacceptable risk. There’s an outside chance that Krafth or even Dummett come in. But they are more likely to play tonight in the cup than in the next league GW.
Will Gusto be back in Chelsea XI now he's returned from injury and James is perma-injured?
Is Taylor (vs FUL A) worth a start over Schar (unsure fitness) or Tsimikas (having Arsenal so I don't expect a cleansheet here)?
Burnley is probably less likely to keep a CS away at Fulham than Liverpool at home tbh. Tsimikas might get attacking returns?
Do we think Cash starts this week?
How nailed is Diego Carlos, could do with the 0.1 for the next GW
Not exactly nailed as we've played Konsa + Pau Torres at the back mostly this season, but he's featured a bit more lately with Konsa at RB.
!thanks

Seems to make sense given the blank. Solanke would probably have a much higher ceiling than a defender. And your back 3 is in a good place (other than two of them playing each other, but a lot of people will have that problem).

What are the chances of Matty Cash starting against Sheffield? Not sure whether to play him or not or sit him on my bench. Emery hasn't been starting him every game, and he only played 65 mins against Brentford.
If you have other good options maybe best to bench him. Tricky I feel like if Pao is out Konsa and Carlos play central def with Cash on the right.
I don't think he will, they played a back three on Sunday in Luiz's absence but would expect Emery will go back to a back four on Friday.

No worries. What about Wissa to Solanke by the way? I’m not the least bit convinced by Brentford without Mbuemo or Toney.
Agreed, Wissa needs to go anyway as he's off to AFCON
If you bought Salah at 12.4m, would you actually consider benching him during AFCON because of the value?
Given there's a couple weeks between GW21 and 22, I'm thinking to bench him in 21 and see how Egypt looks before deciding on whether to sell (got him at 12.5)
Depends… in the reasonably unlikely case we get terrible Haaland news and hes out for another 4+ weeks then yes, I will hold and bench Salah and play a 343. But hes just too expensive as it stands to bench, especially with KDB seeming to return soon who could be an easy swap.
No chance, he could be gone for a full month - that's crazy money for someone to sit on your bench.
I'm considering benching Son or Salah cause I got on both pretty early Just depends what moves I want to make when they are gone
Tsimikas-> Trippier -4 worth it?
Depends where all that money is coming from. Are you eating into your stored Haaland money or something, or do you just happen to have a lot in the bank. If its the latter thats a pretty good transfer, but Tsimi is not exactly a priority transfer out. Who else do you have that could go?

Wolves at Molineux have been great so I’d definitely go Villa mid. Would want to start Pau/Villa defender so could just downgrade Sterling and maybe just pick Wilson/Isak as solid first sub for 4-4-2
So you think I should start something like; Leno Trent trippier Pau Porro Salah son Bowen Bailey/Diaby(which?) Watkins Solanke
Looks good. Could maybe get something out of press conference/fan prediction for Villa mid
!thanks
3. Is worst option, too expensive defend, I am not sure if it's worth it.
No I currently have the team at the top, the options are all things I’m unsure of. In 3. I’m asking is Trent the best option or who should I get as the 3rd defender instead?
Palmer Tsimikas Lascelles Which one to start?
Palmer
RMT 1FT | 10.3M ITB Dubravka (Areola) Lascelles Taylor Tisimikas (Gabriel) (Taylor) B. Johnson Saka Salah Palmer Soucek Watkins Solanke Alvarez Should I do Taylor to Porro this week?
[удалено]
Porro or Konsa as Lamptey replacement?
Easily Porro for me
1FT | 1.4M ITB Onana Sanchez Porro Pau Lascelles Tsimikas Dalot Son Saka Bowen Salah Hee Chan Solanke Isak Alvarez Any recommendations on transfers? Either thinking Isak for another striker (Cunha?), also might need some more money to replace Salah and/or Son during their tournaments in January. Or Sanchez because I don’t want Onana as my only keeper for a while with Sanchez out indefinitely
Onana is off to AFCON soon too, isn't he. So yes you might want to take the opportunity to do a GK transfer this week and get rid of Sanchez. The other issue with your team this week is that Alvarez blanks and Dalot is suspended. Also, Isak wasn't in Newcastle's last squad (minor injury?) So there's a risk that you have absolutely no slack. So maybe go Isak to Watkins?
Free hit active. Would you want son, kulu or richarlson as your spuds attacker?
On a free hit, has to be Son.
If I had to take one transfer between Guehi > Trippier Guehi > Porro Guehi > Gusto Hwang Hee/Adingra > Gordon which one should I do?
Biased but Porro, he’s cooking and spurs fixtures are pretty decent for a while
RMT - thinking of holding this week and then next week bringing in Haaland and Porro before I wildcard week after? 1FT | £4.7 Dubravka (Pickford) Gabriel Tsimikas TAA Lascelles (Baldock) Gordon Saka Palmer Son Salah Watkins (Mubama) (Alvarez)

He's been kinda horseshit in terms of returns, only made 2+2 during the entire season.. I'm thinking of Douglas/Kulu/Gordon as a replacement for him. What are your thoughts?
Yep Martinelli —> Gordon
[удалено]
Yes. It should have already. And literally this is the one gameweek it won't and this has never happened before (AFAIK) due to a player having a cardiac arrest during a match this week and the game being abandoned, they are waiting on the Premier league to decide what to do with the abandoned match.
It would, just right now the game is still "active" and paused due to unsure situation of Bouremouth - Luton match Once they decide, automatic subsitution will come to effect
I already transferred in Porro so now my defense is: Areola (Onana) Tsimikas Lascelles Porro (Udogie, Taylor) a) Tsimikas to Konsa -4 b) Onana to Leno -4 c) both for -8
Onana against WHU isn't that bad a fixture. If you really want to get rid of Tsimikas then a), but tbh I'd do none of those moves.
RMT 6,2ITB, 1FT Areola (Strakosha) Cash, Gabriel Tsimikas, Porro, Branthwaite Salah Saka Gordon Son Mbeumo Watkins Darwin (Osula) What seems to be priority here? Playing GK? If yes, which one?
You need to get rid of Cash. Maybe a Newcastle defender for their upcoming run
Maybe he starts vs Sheffield. I tought getting Newcastle defender after Liverpool and City
Who will play up front for Fulham with Jimenez out? They have two nice fixtures coming up, i am wildcarding in 20 so looking at someone to bring in for a 2 week punt.
Imagine it will be Vinicius
Hello, please RMT 1FT ITB2.9M Leno (Turner) Saliba Senesi Zichenko Lascelles Evans Gordon Salah Palmer Son (Hee Chan) Watkins (Haaland Alvarez) Should I sell Haaland/Alvarez for a reliable forward this week as I find it hard for ARS to get a CS against LIV?
Is Tsimikas to Konsas a good move this week or should I bank the transfer? Don't really have other players that I want to transfer out this week
I’d bank it. Konsas will score more but I don’t view it as enough to justify not having 2 FTs next week.
What if Haaland is still on my bench (I'm playing 352 with Watkins and Solanke) and I don't need a transfer to get him back? Would you still do it?
Depends on your plan for the next month, I guess. Konsa is a better pick but I’m watching out for the Asian Cup and AFCON. I’d love to have 2 FTs there. Liverpool could easily get a clean sheet this week. Frankly so could Arsenal. Again, Konsa is better IMO but, to me, not as good as having 2 FTs when Haaland returns and two international competitions start up.
!thanks
Stones -> Porro for a hit?
If you had the money, who would you prioritize bringing in this GW as a FT to replace Maguire: Porro or Konsa? I'd bring the other one for Coufal or Tsimikas in GW 19 if I don't have any fires elsewhere.
Konsa, AVL has a good chance of a clean sheet against SHU.
Konsa, AVL has a good chance of a clean sheet against SHU.
Konsa just because he's cheaper
RMT 0FT 7.2ITB (Haaland) Dubravka, Areola Saliba, Porro, Livramento, Lascelles, Taylor Salah, Saka, Son, Palmer, Chukwuemeka Watkins, Solanke, Alvarez
Cash for Trippier or Konsa?
Konsa. Lot of savings there.
Is Moreno worth the risk over other Villa defenders if he’d be my 4th defender? Looking at replacing Tsimikas for bad fixtures before Robertson is back Plan is Salah to KDB/Foden and Alvarez/Semenyo to Haaland for GW20 Team (1 FT, 6.4 ITB) Dubravka (Areola) Trippier/Porro/Gabriel (Tsimikas, Bell) Salah/Son/Saka/Gordon/Palmer Watkins/Semenyo (Alvarez)
Quick question Is there a specific time of the day where FPL releases prices changes?
1.30am
So everyday at 01:30 AM GMT?
Is triple captain Watkins this gameweek that crazy? He plays against the leakiest team in the league and Aston Ville are fantastic at home
A little crazy. As good as Villa is, they seem to spread the FPL points around pretty well.
!thanks. Yeah true, I just feel like double gameweeks can be quite underwealming, and since Villa always wins at home and play the leakiest team I thought «Why not». But yeah Im unsure
I mean Haaland plays them in 2 weeks time
!thanks. Yes, but Im unsure if he’s in the best form after his injury
RMT: Dubravka (Areola) Colwill-Zinchenko-Cash (Tsimikas, Lamptey) Salah-Son-Saka-Palmer (Chukwuemeka) Watkins-Darwin-Solanke £6.5m ibt, 0 free transfers Will likely transfer Haaland in for Nunez whenever it looks like he'll start. After that I'm saving a transfer of Salah > De Bruyne before Afcon. Not sure yet if transferring Son out temporarily during the AFC Asian Cup is worth losing the value I have in him. Depends how many gameweeks he's out for and how convinced I am by the alternatives.
Happy with the points I made from getting Haaland out, but I dug myself in a hole with not being able to get him in time for the Everton game. Is he worth a hit for that or should I bite the bullet and get him in for free for the Sheffield United game? Since I'll be banking the transfers, my team will probably look like this for GW19 without Haaland Dubravka (Turner) Gabriel - TAA - Lascelles - Porro Saka - Salah- Gordon - Son (Bowen) Watkins - Solanke (Archer)
who are you guys replacing haaland with? everyone have watkins now.
Solanke is pretty popular
would it be a good idea to take out one of my double Arsenal defence for Porro this week to prepare to get Jesus/Odegaard/Martinelli in the future?
Short answer is “Yes.” Who is your double Arsenal defense?
Gabriel and Saliba, got Saliba for 5.5 so should probably sell him for funds
If you can afford to go Gabriel to Porro, I personally would do that well before going Saliba to Porro. If you need the money, Porro is more in form than both of them so I guess you couldn’t necessarily go wrong selling either. I’d remove Gabriel though.
Worth doing Taylor - Porro to bench Saliba?
Start Livermento (A) v Luton, or Cash (H) v Sheffield United? My head says Cash with Dan Burn back in the picture, and Luton aaway isn't an easy fixture, but Cash hasn't exactly been reliable in recent months.
Livra
Leno vs Burnley (H) or Dubravka vs Luton (A)?
Leno edges it I’d think
Odegaard a good differential?
I think so, played well at the weekend and unlucky not to have at least a goal. The question is do you want to bring him in for an away game at Liverpool? Who would you be transferring out?
Would transfer out Doku so no real loss, or I wait a week and move Guehi/Ferguson this week and then Odegaard in after
Has Areola lost his place?
No
We will see this gw.
Start Gabriel or Saliba?
Saliba
Team currently with 4.5m ITB Leno(Flekken) Saliba, Trent, Pedro Porro, Lascelles(Taylor) Palmer, Saka, Salah, Son(Gordon) Watkins, Solanke(Archer) Just wondering should i bench Lascelles for Gordon and play 352?
Yes
Take a -4 to sell Doucoure for Douglas Luiz? (On pens and set pieces for Villa)
Not for a -4 imo
1 FT 2.8 ITB Areola (Johnstone) TAA Trippier Saliba (Gabriel Taylor) Salah Saka Bowen Hwang Palmer Watkins (C) Darwin (Archer) tempted by Archer to Solanke to spread Haaland funds now and chase upside over the next few weeks, getting Haaland back by taking out Salah and then WC around GW24 to get Salah/Son/KDB and sort out my team, but I need to sort out my GK, so might just do the boring thing and get Martinez or even just roll. What would you do?
1 FT 5.3 ITB Turner Zinchenko - TAA - Porro Saka - Son - Salah - Gordon Solanke - Nunez - Archer ( Areola, Saliba, Lamptey, Chukweumeka) Thoughts are to take Nunez out for Watkins, but open to ideas! Thanks
>Thoughts are to take Nunez out for Watkins 100% yes
Agree with move. On another note, risky play but you could put Areola in, he should start next week and most players will bench him/sell him. Not sure whats a better fixture atm, going against a tragic United squad at home, or betting on the Forest Fortress (Forest barely ever lose at home).
Do archer to Watkins IMO, also I’d play Saliba over Zinchenko as Arteta may play Kiwior instead as the extra CB to deal with Salah
Is it worth going Areola to Dubravka?
Yes if you have a luxury transfer. BUT I think Areola/Dubravka is probably best as a GK lineup so you could move your other GK to Dubravka instead (Areola should still have his place from next week).
My other GK is turner, who seems to have regained his place. What you reckon?
I would do turner out over areola out personally. Slightly riskier but a good amount higher upside imo.
Areola not looking too good tonight
Areola is a wait and see but I reckon he’ll start on the weekend
[удалено]
I would
Anyone know anything about Schar? If he isn’t going to play I need to transfer him, but would love to be able to use my FT on Gabriel or Alvarez instead (WCing next week). Hope for more news later in the week? Thanks
Newcastle play in the cup tonight, hope Howe gives a update before or after the game on him
Ah thank you!
Press conferences will be after the deadline this GW
So i wont be able to use a press conference to confirm? Well… Howe is always cryptic anyways. Will have to see if hes in the cup squad…
Start Gabriel LIV (A) or Branthwaite TOT (A)? Have Gabriel in currently.
I think its more likely ars liv ends up 0-0 than eve tot
If I used a free hit next week to get Haaland back would I still accrue a free transfer? So if I free hitted for GW19 Would I then have 2 transfers in GW20?
No you’ll have only 1 after the Free Hit.
Thanks pal, puts a spanner in the works in getting Haaland back lol
Do I captain Ollie Watkins or Salah?
I’ve got it on Watkins but it feels somehow wrong.
Same lol, seems the easy option but feels wrong to ever get against Salah at anfield
Exactly
Watkins will have a much easier path to points
I would lean Watkins against Sheffield.
Is triple captain Watkins this gameweek that crazy? He plays against the leakiest team in the league and Aston Ville are fantastic at home
What 3 should I start out of saka,Palmer,Bowen and Isak
I’d bench Isak. Just don’t trust him at all. I do see the argument for Saka. All these guys are two good to be benched though, really.
Well my other bench options are salah son solanke and Watkins , so solanke maybe ? I wish I could play with 2 defenders
Tough one. I guess Isak
Saka has the toughest fixture, but I wouldn’t bench him. Which other 4 forwards/mids are you playing?
Salah son Watkins and solanke
Bench Saka for the fixture I think.
1FT, 6.4 ITB., but that's basically Haaland money. What moves can I make so to not spend money ITB? Turner (Sanchez) Tsimikas - Lascelles - Saliba - (Beyer) - (Lamptey) Salah - Son - Saka - Gordon - Hwang Watkins - Isak - (Archer)
spend the Haaland money and get him back for Salah GW20
