Yup. Just to really fry our brains, missing the first Friday deadline of the season will actually probably benefit the pesky casuals!

I think with it been united at home, and sky hyping up Mourinho's first home game, I wouldn't expect a lot of people to miss out.

Ideally what we need is watford away to west brom or something like that on a friday night to catch out alot of people.

you are overestimating a lot of the casuals interest in actual football

Have they announced how many Friday night matches there will be? There was just one last year if I recall correctly?

Settled on the following line up, having banked my transfer:

Foster

Amat, Baines, Shaw

Oscar, Firmino, Redmond, Ramirez

Aguero (C), Zlatan, Vardy

Subs: Jako, Stones, Friend, Hojbjerg

Slightly worried that Man City and Boro could keep clean sheets, but have to make a call somewhere.

Planning to go Oscar & Vardy > Hazard & Benteke after the weekend, unless there is compelling reasons not to come Sunday night.

A back injury rules Lamine Kone out of Sundays Wear-Tees derby. #SAFC

Wish I had a Boro attacker, probably be JOS and Djilbodji at CB

Makes my decision easier but probably hands him a price drop

10 for the season, I believe. Last season was only because of some nationalist party rally in Birmingham and police moved Villa-ManU

Maybe! Be interesting if there was a big captaincy swing but not this week.

Week 5 has a Friday night kick off (Liverpool/Chelsea). City are home to Bournemouth, having been away to united in week 4. Thats will be interesting

I am heading to OT for United game at the moment

New to this, need help (have to beat an 11 year old!!)
Adrian
Stones Kingsley Friend
Snodgrass(V) Mahrez Mane Willian Cabaye
Kane(C) Origi

Hart Fonte van Dijk Long

The team got picked at 1am last Fri night so not the best! Hart is for the door for GW3. Also need to get rid of either van Dijk or Fonte as both from same team. What do you think?

VVd and Fonte together is not your biggest problem - Southampton's defence may be decent.

Mane is injured but maybe not longterm. Origi is a far from guaranteed starter. Cabaye will not get you many points, and with chelsea looking better than last season already, Willian's start last year will probably look like an exception soon. Snodgrass should be a supporting fourth mid, not a vice captain. Defence is okay.

I'd prioritise shifting Origi, Cabaye, Willian in that order, and you need Man City and/or Man Utd coverage (Hart doesn't count but with adrian, he's low priority except for the likely price drops)

Well, firstly I would start PVA. If you have him, you would want him starting most weeks, especially at home and espcailly v Boro. I would take out Van Dijk.

Llorente is a punt against Hull, but Aguero/Hazard are the safer options, even if they are away.

Noble at home to Bou. coming in for Mane isn't too bad, so I don't think you are in too bad a position, but you might want to look into downgrading some defenders and reinvesting that money elsewhere.

internet_user

Transfer banked and going with this

Foster
Amat stones shaw
Mahrez Redmond lamela firmino
Aguero(C) vardy long

Subs - jakupovic, friend, capoue, fuchs

tom_k

I'm banking the transfer but uncertain about back three.

Valencia, Stones, Friend, Amat, McAuley.

Probably go for Valencia, Stones and Friend.

What would Jebus do?

km79

Will be interesting to see how many posts are on here before deadline compared to a normal Saturday one

bezuaua

2 FT next week...

Any piece of advice on this?

I expect many people who look in on a Friday evening after work will see that the deadline is looming or indeed has already passed.

patmac

Thinking of benching Redmond as I can see Routledge and Gray hopefully getting goals
Foster,
Friend, Valencia, Kingsley,
Routledge, Hazard, Coutinho, Mahrez
Vardy,Kun(c), Gray
Subs:Heaton, Redmond, Soare, Hernandez(Lei)

I appreciate that advice... You're right - I should downgrade some defenders. Especially after last week where I didn't have one clean sheet, that money could have been used to upgrade a forward or mid. Yeah I'll prob go with Kun as captain, out of sheer fear.

FutureGuy

Kone out makes my team decision easy enough. Redmond starts instead. 3-4-3

ElTel

Rolling my FT (We'll see if it's used by midnight!)

Manone
Kingsley Valencia Stones
Sanchez Firmino (vc) Puncheon Lamela
Kun (c) Vardy Diomande

Pickford Gradel Friend Francis.

Good Luck.

Wait until this gw is over first ... plenty of potential injuries and suspensions to come this weekend.

I'd start Del.

Definitely starting Friend now...he looked good going forward last week so hopefully he can get some joy out of a makeshift Sunderland defence.

really dont like these Friday evening game weeks
takes a lot of the fun out of it
also I don't think it will matter too much for people who miss the deadline this week
most will have aguero or maybe zlatan captain anyway and will have 2 FT next week

I'm liking the idea of the Friday night football. It brings a new dynamic into FF, like the chips did last year.

T-b0n3

Think I'm going to stick with the below. A rare time 433 is brought out.

Foster
Valencia McAuley Stones Amat
Firmino Lamela Redmond
Ibrahimovic Agüero (C) Kane

Jaku Townsend Friend Capoue

Lots of lads won't miss the deadline due to getting hammered on a Friday night. They might miss this week's one though...
