Redmond | Sanchez | Sterling | Hazard | Capoue
Ibrahimovich | Lukaku (c)

Heaton | Gray | Friend | Amat

Sanchez or Hazard might get the armband yet though.

Going Lukaku as captain and have no City attacking coverage. . .Slightly worried but feel a half punt like this needed to kickstart my season.

Heaton
Valencia, Stones, McAuley
Sterling, Hazard, Sanchez, Capoue/Punch?
Ibra(C), Benteke, Costa

Pickford, Punch/Capoue, Collins, Amat

Only dilemma is Capoue or Puncheon. Will probably captain Ibra. Rolling the transfer and praying Lukaku, Firmino, Mane, Antonio don't continue where they left off:( Has such a bad time of it last week.

I had to bring him in for the week in the hope he has a two week wonder but no way was I captaining the chap!

Yep you read that right, Benteke captain. I think I'm losing my mind.

FHFC

How likely is Collins to play after that fiasco last week??

patmac

My team with a -4

Foster
Valencia , Gibson , Baines,
Cazorla , Sanchez , Hazard , Capoue.
Ibrahimovich, Lukaku (c), Ichinacho
Subs: Jaku, Milner, Kingsley, Souare.
Milner or Capoue? going with Capoue due to Thursday night wafer Cup. Captain could be anyone of the front 3, Hazard is also tempting as FNF could be the new MNF

I only saw the first two goals. First goal came off him and the second goal I think was the keepers fault for coming out.

manual_man

I'd go Milner over Capoue. Milner on pens

I would say very unlikely unless Bilic is very forgiving.

Cantona's Collars

Foster

Shaw...McAuley...Collins???

Sanchez..Hazard..Sterling...Capoue

Zlatan..Costa..Banteke(c)

I was thinking of leaving out Capoue for Wanyama as Sunderland are dire.Collins might not even play so Autosub will take care of that.I won't get a chance to tinker with my team before the deadline so any advice in the next 30 minutes or so is most welcome.

manual_man

Wanyama may be on bench. Dembele is back from suspension

Adrian was worse !

Wildcard in play...

Going with this lot:

Foster

Vertonghen Valencia Baines

Firmino Eriksen Carzola Antonio

Lukaku Iheanacho (C) Benteke

MattHelders

Currently on wildcard. KDB or Hazard? Have Iheanacho so leaning towards Haz

Thepoet85

Heaton
Valencia Evans Stones
Hazard Redmond Antonio Sanchez
Lukaku Ibra Iheanacho (c)

Taken a -4 to take in Iheanacho for a 1 week punt with the view to activating the WC tonight, but looking at that team, I'm not sure I need to. Could take a -4 to get in Kun and save the WC.

That's effectively an 8 point hit just to have ihenacho in your team for one week........

redzerdrog

De gea

Evans - Stones - Amat

Sanchez (C) - Firmino - Redmond - Capoue

Kane - Ibra - Costa

Only debate is to Captain Sanchez, Ibra or Kane

Both Utd and Spurs where awful midweek so that is why I am currently with Sanchez however it has changed every few minutes so far today.

Benimar

I have a benching dilemma ie: Capoue and Johnny Evans are currently on it!

Cech
Shaw, Williams, Masuaku (WBA are awful in attack)
Hazard, Ozil, Barkley, Antonio
Ibrahimovic (c), Lukaku, Defoe

Jakupovic, Capoue, Evans, Amat

I have 1FT but going to keep it so I can get Aguero back in for a -4 (or sell Ibra :eek:)

Good point. Will probably go ahead with the wc as planned. Happy with my 1 week punt for this gw.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I'm not mad on Defoe this week . Would like ihenacho but really need to bank
I may play Capoue but benching a penalty taker ..........ill have to think on this one

Wenger confirms Cech will return in goal against Hull but says Giroud must be assessed after picking up big toe injury on Tuesday.

Please not Sanchez up front...

MarkSRFC21

Brought in iheanacho for gray on a free. Commits me to a wc next week but Im happy enough with that.

Depends on whether or not it was going to cost you 4 to get Aguero in anyway.

I hear you but not sure if I could bench him again.

i'm not sure i fancy any Watford player to score against Man U. And if they do it's more likely to be Ighalo or Deeney (despite Capoue's amazing start). With Liverpool's attack up against a JT-less Chelsea defense, a Liverpool pen isn't such a leap of imagination (think Mane vs David Luiz especially). And even though you lost Capoue's points last week, was benching him away to West Ham really a bad decision? I don't think so. Just unlucky he scored as he did

Went out for a run at lunch time and have now decided to swap Lallana in for Antonio.....Liverpool have a decent run of fixtures, are more cohesive going forward and tbh I can't see Antonio keeping his form up.

I am also a Liverpool fan but this has nothing to do with it...honest

Jaggo

Heaton
Valencia, Evans, Baines,
Sterling, Antonio, Hazard (vc), Ozil.
Ibrahimovich, Lukaku (c), Benteke
Subs: Foster, Capoue, Holebas, Amat.

Really looking forward to tonight's match. The Liverpool midfield are going to be auditioning for a place in my team (Firmino v Mane) and I am going to keep an eye on Willian who I think is under-rated and is creating a huge number of chances.

elefant

De Gea
Baines Coleman Bailly
Lamela Cazorla Hazard Barkley
Iheanacho(c) Ibrahimovic Negredo

Adrian, Fer, Terry, Gabriel.

Go team!

Willian always one to fly under the radar. If I got cold feet on Hazard or he was injured I know who I'd have in a flash.

Hopefully my Leicester differentials can start my slow rise back up as I firmly hold onto my WC

Is Sanchez up front bad as an owner ?
I hate these Friday games I've no time to look at thugs properly
I have him but was not going to captain him ?

Hopefully Perez up top in any case. Sanchez has 4 goals and 2 assists in 4 matches v Hull

Bit harsh no, if you were talking about Costa then ok

Oh YOWL I was not aware of that stat !
And it does often go like that as Costa showed vs Swansea
Think I'll go with him now !
