Congrats.

My wildcard this year was while my life was giving birth. Found out the hard way they don't like using phones in Holles St - couldn't get near the FF app :eek:

Mine also, maybe there should be a thread for this...;)

spock.

Right, I reckon Aguero is definitely out.
1. Ben Dinnery named the injury as "suspected". That to me is him telling us what his source told him it is without releasing the info himself.
2. Pep announced that Silva trained yesterday. If Aguero had trained he would have included him in the sentence. If he didn't train Thursday, I can't see how he plays midday Saturday.

With that in mind....
Aguero/Barnes out, Jesus/Costa in

Can you not wait a few hours for the press conference?

The real mccoy 91

I agree the wall of silence around the injury doesn't bode well in my opinion can't see him playing this week anyway. Because of that I've took a -8 with aguero son and grant out jesus ozil and cech in

Cech or Forster?

Cech for me apparently rashford has a knock and United prioritising europa league. And Southampton looked off the pace last week with not much to play for

Benimar

Almost certainly using my FT to do Aguero to Jesus.

Is it worth a -4 to do Lukaku to Costa (or Kane)? I have Alli, but no Chelsea attacking players.

Cantona's Collars

Took a -8 and then Rashford gets a knock last night,Jose won't risk him Sunday.
Can't afford Jesus, should I say feck it and play with 2 strikers (Costa and Kane) or take another hit and get Gabbi in?
My midfield is decent enough with Alli,Sanchez,Sane and King in there.

Just having two matches alone I don't see how you can suggest picking Cech over Forster here. Honestly doesn't make sense.

Surprisingly for me Cech has more point per match. 3.5 versus Forsters 3.2.

I went with Cech. I think Southampton's fixtures look a little more difficult as a result of the Europa league.

Neither team are in great form but Southampton have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 home games.

So no news 'bout Agüero kinda means bad news right?

What do you guys think about Zaha + Agüero -> Hazard + Jesus for -4?
My defense is Alonso Stephens ... Valencia McAuley Holebas. What about an additional -4 for an Arsenal def?

Hits not taken into consideration, Hazard is the key for me. If I get him in, I'm kinda stuck with Gabbiadini or another cheap striker like Deeney (but his fixtures for 37 & 38 aren't great and Watford have nothing at stake).
So the big question is what about Pedro? Do you guys think he's nailed (he got his "rest" against Saints). Is he worth it? He scored a wonder goal in their last game but didn't return much in the previous 5-6.

So. Long story short.
Hazard + cheap striker or Pedro + Costa/Vardy for 37/38?

But Southampton have 2 games. Surely that confirms Forster should be getting chosen so?

Edit: What Benimar said

Dots1982

anyone taking a cheeky look at Welbeck?

Giroud is woeful lately and Welbeck should have definitely started the spurs game as Giroud was never going to compete against strong defenders like spurs have.

Now Wenger sticks with players to the bitter end so it would disappoint but not surprise me if he goes with Welbeck again. I'm probably not going to do it but it defo is one i'm keeping an eye on.

*deep breath*

Lukaku out - Costa In (Decent form, fixtures and 3 home games)
Aguero out - Jesus In

As for Jesus coming in:

Necronomicon

Pending the Ageuro injury news I'm now hovering over:

- Aguero, Zaha, Lukaku out;
- Jesus, Ozil, Costa in.

For -8 (no WC left unfortunately).

Getting Lukaku out makes me uneasy but Costa's fixtures are just too tasty, with the DGW the icing on the cake. Chelsea having the league sewn up sooner rather than later is a concern, but hopefully his chase for the golden boot keeps him on the pitch.

Ozil is a bit of a dice roll - feels like madness to have double Arsenal attack (already have Sanchez) but with my mini league situations I need a couple of gambles.

ThunbergsAreGo

Yeah Lukaku has decent fixtures left, trying to decide if I can go without him

The United players are causing a real headache

The thing that frustrates me about Lukaku is that he is terrible when playing away games.

His last 10 games have him at 7 home goals and 1 away goal. He has 3 games left in the season and 2 of those are away games.

Costa while not in perfect form has 4 games and 3 of those are at home.

But don't forget that Lukaku is a troll and will probably punish us with a huge haul against against Watford next week

I hate this game.

Eriksen is in the form of his life no way would I do a -4 to get Ozil of all people in

Irish Raven

Clyne and siggy out for yoshida and sanchez....thinking back to back double gameweeks...

Iused2likebusts

I agree with yiz on eriksen but I need to take a risk to have any chance of getting in the money positions in a pay league. I'm not mad on the spurs dgw either.

Who does 'Bavies ' play for or is it a misspelling of 'Davies'?

It's to differentiate Ben Davies from the others.

Benimar

Having a rethink. Might just do Aguero to Costa with my FT and keep Lukaku. Not sure the -4 to Jesus is worth it.

extra gravy

Did Benteke to Jesus. Don't have enough to do Grant to Caballero now so will just play him or Hennessey.

joe123

What do people think on Ali/Eriksen to Hazard for a -8pt hit? Currently have no Chelsea coverage. Have Kane and the two spurs mids. Would have to ship out Bailly to free up funds but the talk is he wont play this weekend.

Hazard is almost captain material v a very poor Middlesbrough.

threein99

Meant to put Monreal for his double week but I put in Cahill in by mistake
