Rotation with Rashers and Rooney would put me off him right now.

Especially at his price, you'd want to be guaranteed he's starting.

Romelu Lukaku :

In The Last 6 Home Games :
11 Goals

No, Everton guaranteed EL with a 7th place finish.

5th place is an automatic spot, with the two other spots going to the FA Cup winners and the EFL Cup winners. As the FA Cup winners (Chelsea/Arsenal) and EFL cup winners (Man U) will qualify through their league positions, 6th and 7th in the League will get the two remaining spots.

Man U winning the EL will NOT increase the number of spots available. If they finish outside the Top 4, they will qualify for the CL and only 2 teams will be in the EL.

Forgot about Cup qualifications.

This.

I can't fathom why people think a guy coming back from a serious injury will get anything more than a few short run outs, quite possibly not at Aguero's expense.

Aguero has 12 goals in 12 games, is tracking back and embracing the Pep philosophy and receiving praise from his manager. Other than a few 80min substituions I can't see any threat to Agueros gametime. Jesus could possibly impact on Sane, but also only in a bit part way I'd have thought.

I just hope Aguero is fit for the derby as I can see City walloping Utd. Jose has 16 fit first team players before potentially losing Pogba, has suggested Europa league is the focus, all his excuses lined up and City are playing well.

I was dead against selling, but from what I hear that was an awful dead rubber type of performance on Sat.

I'm keeping for now, as I think Watford are gonna get a hammering from somebody soon, I'd be terrified of not having Lukaku at home to them in 37, and if I see it costs me 0.5 to buy him back so can't afford without slashing my DGW37 team considerably.

Everton and lukaku due to lack of service were really poor against Burnley the week before aswell.

Its a big gamble selling for the Watford fixture especially as they were so clearly on the beach vs Hull. Lukaku could get a massive score there.

I'm gonna have to figure out the chances of that and whether getting somebody better for Chelsea at home and Swansea away on my WC could counterbalance the damage Lukaku could do in GW37.

I'm not convinced by Gabbiadini so the alternative is probably Benteke who has Hull at home in 37.

Why did Giroud start ahead of Welbeck I wonder, if he could get a run for the end of the season it would be superb. Am I right in saying an Arsenal players hit a hattrick in GW38 this past two seasons? I had Giroud captained last year and didn't you have a similar result with Theo the year before?

I don't think its that big a gamble let's say he hits a hat trick and you go Defoe who gets a double 2 pointer . Your only down 13 pts and you have given yourself an extra few million. Your looking at close to worst case scenario there. If I'd wildcard I'd more than likely sell.

As I look at it, it seems to be edging towards that conclusion. It frees up cash to get Ozil for 36 among other things. It also makes your 352 attractive.

spock.

Also, Lukaku won't be highly captained that week with the likes of Aguero, Sanchez and Hazard having good fixtures and dgws.
It will hurt but not kill your rank if he goes mad and you don't own him.

Giroud' gw38 hat trick last season, cost me 1st place in a league and I think the bones of €300/€400. I still haven't forgiven him : )
If he gets a run the next few games I might consider getting him in for 37, but I'd need a bit of convincing, he's a player I've never seemed to have at the right time.

I'm now beginning to doubt gabbiadini after waiting so long to get him

I'm almost certainly going 353 at this pint anyway
Kane will stay but I'm now debating aguero if Jesus doesn't come back strong
Those fixtures are so so good
I'd have to hide behind the house never mind the sofa for 37 if I don't have him and he plays both
What hazard too though so need to start pricing it !

I think Sané is a great Kun cover option for want of a better term as Guardiola seems to love him.

That was the original and most likely plan
And get hazard then too

Thinking I'm going to have to make do with Pedro as cover for 37 as getting Hazard would mean having to sell Alonso and Sane probably and I don't have enough transfers left to be selling dgwkers. Looking at the following for a bb in 37

Cech
Alonso Clichy Bertrand
Sanchez Alli Pedro Sane
Giroud Benteke Kane

Hennessey King Blind Maguire

Giroud is only a maybe until I see what kind of game time he gets over the next 2. Could be Gabby there instead. The fear of no Kun will probably set in though and this plan will go out the window.

Nathan Ake at 3.8.... worth a punt? Could be a good enabler to bolster your squad for BB GW37 and might get one game given Chelsea will have 2 games and the league won!

He hasn't played in the league since his loan spell ended.
Wouldn't pick him if using BB.

Zouma is ahead of him in the pecking order.

Zouma, Terry and Ake are cover for Azpi, Luiz and Cahill resectively.

If Cahill was to get injured, Ake will start.

Isn't Ake ahead of JT and Zouma since Zouma's horror show at OT

If he played one game the funds could be used elsewhere.

Interesting to see if he is used Wednesday night

Walcott scored a hatrick in gw38 of the previous season too. Cost me 1st place in a ml but no money thankfully.

My money is on Sanchez or Ozil for a hat trick this time around.

I've decided I want Hazard now as well as King so it would mean downgrading Lukaku to a cheapie and going 3-5-2. Looking at Robson Kanu at 5m. Not nailed on but Rondon is rubbish so he might see some game time in 37. If he got me 3 or 4 points for my bb I'd be happy enough.

Anichebe is even cheaper and also has a double in which he will play both ?

True had forgotten he was back from injury. Thanks for that.

Anichebe is a good option for anyone playing BB in GW36 too. Away to Hull.
