Thanks, I hadn't been considering him tbh but with Southamptons fixtures he's a definite possibility

My full team atm is :


Begovic McCarthy
Bertrand Dawson Francis Coleman Bellerín
Drinkwater Payet Mahrez De Bruyne Sánchez
Pellè Vardy Costa

Going with Stekelenburg will give me 3 Southampton (not a huge digfficulty for me as I'll probably move BUIB along after their nice run finishes)

Before the Jagielka injury I was looking at Howard as a possibility also but the Everton fans seem to have great confidence that Funes Mori will come in and fill his shoes very well.

Good solid team!

Even with the Everton fans confidence I wouldn't be doubling up on their defence. They haven't looked that solid, granted they've had a very tough run. But for me Jags out of that team will have the same effect as a Kompany-less City. Coleman though will get attacking points no doubt.

If you want a cheaper alternative Panti might become an option under Big Sam. But that's a bit of a gamble. Stekelenburg a safer pair of hands.

Only downside to the double Saints def is BUIB and no Mane.
I also have BUIB and I am feeling trigger happy on him. He didn't get that nickname for being consistent...

lloris and van djik
or
stekenlberg and kolarov?

Is it madness bringing in Galloway for 1/2 matches? You'd imagine Baines come straight back into the team, yeah?

I really like the look of Van Dijk and if I hadn't pulled the trigger on Bertrand I'd definitely be putting him in.

that was the plan before jagielka injury now I'm really not sure on it
van djik is a MASSIVE goal threat from corners which is why I'm leaning towards him

Who would people chop first from this list?:

• Fabianski
• Azp
• Martial

None are delivering points and there's better options available. Martial will probably drop first so I've a slight preference for him, however on the flip side I think the replacements at DK/ DEF are much more reliable than the ones at striker level (Bar Vardy and Ighalo who seem to always deliver).

Unless you have a FT to burn I wouldn't do it.

Considering you can likely do without Fabianski and Azpi on your XI and have them on the bench, I'd pick Martial. As long as you have a decent second GK and three decent defenders, it won't be too damaging having both of those in your team. You can also keep Azpi until another week just in case Chelsea's form returns.

My defence is in quite a mess atm. My front 8 is really strong, but I have this defence:

Myhill, McCarthy
Williams, Davies, McAuley, Bellerin and Souare

The only one that I'd want to start is Bellerin. The rest have tough fixtures or aren't starting anymore. Thinking of getting rid of Davies and going AOA and avoid a (-4).

PARlance

Front 8 of:
Mane, Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez
Vardy, Igahlo, Costa

Somebody in for Costa seems the obvious one but can't settle Bony, Lukaku or Kane. Probably have them in that order at present.

As for who to bench, edging towards Igahlo as his home form is fairly poor (1 goal vs 4 goals & 2 assists). But playing 2 attackers against Pulisball is a risky move too.

Any thoughts folks?

Need to clear up my defence this week, have Cedric, Darmian, Sagna, Zouma and Gomez. Darmian, Zouma and Sagna are likely to be getting rotated and Gomez is injured. Thinking of getting in Dier and an other for -4, any suggestions?

I'd prefer Alderweireld to Dier. Bellerin and Van Dijk are probably the best expensive ones, Moreno is good value at 4.7m, or a Watford defender

I am in the same boat: two guys I am looking at are Ward (Cpl - 4.4) and Moreno (Liv - 4.7).
But in both cases their fixtures get much better after GW 13.

I have:
Bellerin;
Zouma; (Moreno???)
Zabaleta; (Ward)
Evans;
Tagertt. (Simpson 3.9million Leicester City player)

Yeah looking at next 5 fixture Watford could keep a few clean sheets so will prob go Nyom/Cathcart for Gomez and then I might go Darmian->Bellerin in a couple of weeks

I'm going to go with Lukaku. Everton have great fixtures and while Tottenham have decent enough fixtures I'm just not convinced by Kane after 1 good showing so far this year. That could be harsh of me but "one swallow does not ...."

Spurs have a heavy run coming up as well with Europa league fixtures so can see them hitting their usual "europa league hangover" slum over the next month/6 weeks

Need to get rid of Naughton. He has been a complete FPL troll tbh.

Ideal replacement?
Already have Bellerin. I'm thinking either City or Saints def cover as I don't have any.
Bear in mind I did Kol->Bellerin early last week thinking Kol was out injured.

Anybody got some advice?
Kompany maybe? If he keeps his place...

You'd have to think that Kompany is safe they're just noticeably better with him in the side.

Having said that 6.3 is a lot to pay for him.

Van Dijk, Coleman, are looking tempting with nice runs. Alderweireld has a nice run too.

If you want to take a bit of a punt (some rotation risk here) Jones for Man U could be decent.

I think Nyom is a safer option than Cathcart. Flores dropped Prodl for Britos in their last match. He said he did it to create competition and that he now has three centre backs fighting for two places.

lougal88 wrote: »

Kompany is a good choice if you can afford him. He should be a certain starter every week and City look better defensively with him.

Kolarov looks like he has two tasty fixtures coming up but I can see why you would be reluctant to re-sign him as he could be a rotation risk later on.

As people have pointed out, Southampton have a potentionally good run coming up so Bertrand or Van Dijk are good options too.

Didn't see the Bournemouth vs Spurs highlights. Were they that bad at the back to warrant bringing in Mane for a -4?

Are people expecting another rout?
I already have BUIB so might be a waste of points...

might be silly to ask but whats BUIB?

I have two FTs. Martial will be one. I really can't pick a second. My defenders have decent fixtures so I'm dropping my thoughts of going AOA.

So I could go Martial to Bony, Lukaku or Kane?

I think I'll go Martial to Bony. I don't think I can bring myself to have Lukaku and Pelle in my team. Too much inconsistency for my liking.

Will roll over the banked transfer.

Bony is hardly the model of consistency!

Spurs game was 90% the keeper's fault. I'd say he'll be dropped and they'll be okay.

Hold off on Mane then?

For a -4 was it? If so, then no. If its a FT then it makes more sense as they have a couple of favourable fixtures coming up...
