    Alli is a guaranteed starter. I don't think Sane and Hazard are. That said, I wouldn't necessarily sell either of those two but that's what I'd be looking at.

    I'd be happy with that first 11 and maybe would use FT to have a better first sub. So do you wanna gamble or play safe ?

    To reach top 10k and make up 16 points on the majority of players I need a slight gamble really. Going without Liverpool cover could cost me so ditching Alli for Cout might be a risk worth taking. I considered Sturridge in for Benteke for a hit and captain him but would need to lose Hazard so I don't favour that option.

    I very nearly took a -4 to get Benteke in. Wouldn't dream of selling him if I owned him.

    I fancy llorente at home to west brom to score more than benteke away to utd.

    But the main reason is I need the 1million surplus for another transfer.

    As I've 2 free transfers this week

    Edit - depending on what you think of Sane or Hazard starting you could do Sane to Lallana.

    I originally felt Hazard would be benched but from Conte's presser where he mentioned preparing well for the Cup final I think Hazard starts and plays around 75/80 minutes and Willian then comes on.

    I also think Sané will start but I'd be more open to ditching him I think as I have Jesus for City cover to fall back on.

    I keep clicking Alli--Coutinho and pressing back.

    My nearest rival is 12 points behind behind me and he has the same Spurs players as me.Alli,Davies and Kane.
    Liverpool could blitz Boro today but Boro are the type of team to put 11 men behind the ball and be happy with a 0-0.
    AAAGGGHHH,decisions,decisions.

    That's the biggest problem today. Who will start and who will be rested. There are so so many transfer options and it's really a guessing game right now.

    For that reason I would go with what I k ow will happen over what I think/hope will happen.

    Sane, Hazard, Sturridge and others are small doubts.

    Lallana, Coutinho, Alli, Benteke are all starters.

    What I would do for a leaked Chelsea team. I have 7.3 for a mid and contemplating Pedro or Fabregas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    I still haven't decided on my Gabbiadini replacement.

    I can't shake the nagging feeling that he'll score.

    Imagine if I banked AND didn't use me AOA :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Ok. Try this Q.

    Start 2 from PVA, BDavies, Albrighton???

    Same here but to be honest I'd say I lost more points this year keeping somebody too long than by selling on. (Benteke is one that springs to mind)

    I also have Gabbiadini so if somebody would like to give Mr. P a guaranteed good transfer I want it too.

    Real tough one.

    I think the best way to answer is to ask the question differently.

    How much more of an attacking potential Albrighton offers with regards to both Bavies & PVA? Maybe not that much.
    And they both have the added potential of a CS. Admittedly they also have the potential -1 for 2 goals conceded.

    So I'd start the former 2 ;).

    Puel definitely said Austin will feature before the end of the season. So How much that'll affect Gabbiadini?

    Personally it's Llorente, Origi or Vokes. Recent form suggest Llorente & Vokes ahead of Origi. But Swansea being on holidays mode scares me off a bit. Then, I don't even know what Vokes looks like :pac:... But I'm kinda leaning towards him...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Ok folks it's mission impossible 64 points off leader in money league he has had the poxiest season ever still has AOA and BB casual to say the least

    His squad
    Pickford Jaku
    Yoshida Stephens Alonso Holgate Evans
    Alli Sanchez KDB Carrol Fraser
    Jesus Lukaku Costa

    Willy Cech
    Holding Alonso Bavies Stephens Blind
    Albrighton Haz King KDB Sanchez
    Kane Jesus Barnes

    Looking at 352 and happy with my team can't see it outscoring his though I need all my mids and Kane to go hatchet and Lukaku Costa to stay quiet

    Think KDB and Albrighton to Coutinho & Sane

    Any thoughts not afraid of a hit think defense is good for cleanies

    You know what, if I was selling someone and the choices were between Vokes, Llorente, Origi and Gabbi I might buy Gabbi anyway so I will keep him. Coutinho to Hazard is all then.

    Sorry I mean Hazard to Coutinho.

    His squad looks fine to me. How is he a casual? This is usually the argument I hear for 'I couldn't catch him all year due to him just doing better'.

    Not badmouthing you, I'm just curious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Fifty points behind so I've had to go gambling. I've brought in Pedro and Sturridge for Sané and Jesus despite the fact that there is a chance neither of my new signings will start. He has quite a few players the same as me so I have to take a chance. Put the captains armband on Hazard. Hoping he can finish the season with a flourish.

    Caballero
    Yoshida, Stephens, Lovren
    Can, Pedro, Alli, Sanchez, Hazard (C)
    Costa, Sturridge.

    Here's hoping for a miracle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Think anyone who doesn't know about DGW's and has chips left at end of season can be classed as casual?

    And yes I have had a poor season hands up to that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,133 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    Hazard & Anichebe ---> Cout & Llorente

    No hits included

    Leaves me with

    --- Sane -- Cout -- Alli -- Alexis

    Llorente -- Jesus Kane

    Means I have to bench King though. Other option is Cout for Hazard/Alli & play King. Thoughts?


  • Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's been a guessing game this week. If Hazard doesn't start then I'll consider my transfers successful regardless if he comes on and scores a brace.

    AH FECK
    Good luck to the boys today! Finish of the season strong with 3 points👊ðŸ¾ðŸ’¯ #afcb #upthecherries

    He has also replied saying he has a small injury apparently :(

    Now to play zaha , gabbi or Vertonghen and 5 at the back :D
    Or sign fabregas or Pedro for a hit


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    King what a legend for leaking the team news.
    Glad I waited with my transfer now.

    King --> Zaha

    Play Zaha. Playing against his former club who should put out their weakest side of the season with the Europa final midweek in mind

    Is PVA not competing with Schlupp though? United have struggled for goals at home all season anyway so if you think PVA is nailed he might be a good bet. Problem with final gw is there'll be a fair bit of lineup trolling, it'll hit most of us in some way.
