    Gabbiadini out, autocomplete in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,270 ✭✭✭clairewithani


    How about Gabbi out, nobody in. Just not owning him would improve my squad. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Caballero (Pickford)
    Alonso Berty Gibbs (Stephens, Holgate)
    Hazard Alli Sanchez Eriksen Sané
    Costa Jesus (Anichebe)

    3 Chelsea has me worried. All 3 could start, or none. Such a nice fixture. £0.1m i.t.b.

    Help?

    Set up perfectly for a Haz to Couthino transfer surely. Costa is ur Chelsea attacking coverage. You're in great shape except for no Kane.

    Yeah that was my first thought for a transfer. Haz could do serious damage if he starts though. Ugh

    United will have an unrecognizable team out
    I need a hero in 38
    I have Pva in my squad but all 4 other defenders have good/better fixtures
    If I knew he was gonna play advanced then I could justify him as being a midfielder :D

    That's assuming he starts at all


    Probably too risky I guess

    Mourinho confirms De Gea's played his last game of the season - but expects him to play for #mufc again https://t.co/QG24GRDgzu


    Feck


    Randolph was a hero when required twice before

    Come on bilic
    Play him

    Owned Bertrand. Summed up the night. Rival had Yodhida and Stephens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    As much as I'd like to transfer Gabby to a prison cell for a ten year stretch, Haz to someone may be more use. Probably Coutinho, or Firmino if fit. Are Liverpool teams still predictable by the bib method?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Looking at a defender to matip
    Or Sanchez + Mr public enemy to coutinho sturidge for a hit mmm

    2 FTs so thinking hazard to continho and Capoue to Fabregas/Pedro.
    I'm thinking Hazard won't start but who of fabregas or Pedro will be more likely to start?

    Selling Sanchez for a hit is insane

    I'm going 3-5-2 in the last game and upgrading the midfield so I'll be benching gab, is that an option to you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    The only thing I know for sure this week is that I'll be playing Albrighton in a 3-5-2 and Gabby will be third sub :mad:

    Agree.
    Arsenal still pushing for top 4
    PLUS
    Lukaku 24 goals
    Sanchez 23 goals
    Kane 22 goals
    Plenty to play for with Sanchez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,576 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Thinking Eriksen Tadic Grosicki to Coutinho Sane Albrighton for a - 4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,669 ✭✭✭Klonker

    Same, probably going to bring Coutinho in for Hazard with the free transfer.

    This last GW is all about Liverpool, Arsenal and to a lesser extent City. The only 3 teams to have something at stake (CL qualification).
    When there's nothing at stake, it's a bit of a lottery to second guess which team is already on holidays and which ones are up for a "serious" friendly game (à la Chelsea-Watford). And then you have to pick the right player who's a serious chance to play and is up for it too.

    So. Probably a -4 to finish the season for me. Gabbiadini (no form and Puel said Austin will feature before the end of the season) & Hazard (can't see him playing more than 30 min) to a 'Pool duo for example or a combination of 'Pool-Arsenal or 'Pool-City. All have favourable fixtures too.

    Can't say there is "nothing at stake" apart from CL qualification.

    Each position a team can move up is worth approx. STG2million(no pound sign on my keyboard:().

    For example, if Burnley beat the Hammers(Stoke and Palace also draw), Burnley will gain approx. STG6million.

    Not sure if the accountant's wishes enter the team talk or players' minds.

    Maybe not, but the owners would like the extra cash I'm sure.
    Depending on results, West Ham could win as much as 23 mill or as little as 9.5 mill.

    That is some serious swing.

    Want to get Coutinho in for captaincy but means selling one of Sane, Eriksen, Alli or Sanchez - who to go for?

    I am considering a Burnley striker for that reason. I think they will have a much better attitude about the game and there will be a party atmosphere as they have stayed up against all the odds.

    I went for Alli - Coutinho, it's a coin toss between him and Eriksen.

    In the final GW I think it depends if you're leading in your ml or chasing - if chasing need to gamble and have different players to the leader, if leading just block and keep the same players. I'm going to take a -4 this week and block 2nd place in my league, I'm 40 ahead so I'm almost there but pissing him off by blocking him is half the fun


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


    Benteke or Zaha an option? Jose has alreasy confirmed that he will start 20 year old Perriera in goal and has also said that he will call upon youngsters Demetri Mitchell, Scott McTominay, Axel Tuanzebe, Matty Willock, Josh Harrop and Zachary Dearnley for the Palace game on Sunday.

    I know there's nothing on the line for Palace but i'm sure they'll be up for beating Utd at Old Trafford.

    Probably a lot of people in the same boat...

    I have Pedro, Alli, Sanchez, King , Sane, Giroud, Kane, Jesus

    I want to keep the players in bold so will probably take one final final hit to double up on Liverpool...maybe..possibly..

    Lallana instead of Coutinho gives me more options too

    Struggling to decide whether or not to take a hit for final GW. Currently 29 points ahead of 2nd in my money league. I've got Vardy, Albrighton & Vertonghen to play tonight. He's got Kane & Ali. So I would be hoping the worst I end up going into last GW is a 15 point lead (fingers crossed). We have similar enough teams at the back, midfield, we both have Hazard, and I've Sane & Sanchez vs Sterling & Ali so I'm confident enough there. Up front I've Rashford, Vardy & Jesus, where as he has Deeney, Kane & Jesus.

    My thinking is I take a 4 point hit to get Coutinho in for Hazard and then Vardy out with Kane in as a blocker. But I can't get past the fact that Leicester play Bourenmouth at home last day, where as Spurs go to Hull. Do I gamble, or is the Kane move the sensible one?
