Don't think so. He was posting in the early weeks of the season AFAIK. Not so much lately.

I wasn't posting too much early and haven't noticed too much action lately. Great contributor if your lurking Ziegler!

FA Cup is the weekend of the 6th as well. Will know their opponents this evening.

Spurs v AFC Wimbledon - so Kane could easily play both league games and then be rested for the fa cup.

Ya hopefully he will get decent minutes in the league games now.

Hazard vs Kane for captain this week is going to be a tough choice

Even tougher if you don't have Hazard.

I think this is going to be the gameweek where I have enough of Kane and not captain out of spite. It will also be the gameweek that he scores a hat-trick. Thinking of choosing Hazard.

It was highlighted already and it was one I said i would stick by. 2 GW's back both players are nice fixtures for 4 GW's. To avoid Lady Luck and making that wrong choice , best to stick with one. I said I would stick by Hazard but I switched

So I got
GW 1 Hazard 1 x 2 = 2 points
GW 2 Kane 2 x 2 = 4 points.

On both occasions I got it wrong. My head is absolutely fried.

If I had it on Hazard last week it is a no brainer to stick with him as he is well ahead

If I had it on Kane (which I do) I'm leaving it on him as over 4 GW's I think they'll break even.

Has anyone seen benteke play in the last two games. I'm thinking of getting him in.

He's pretty hard to miss , Palace have a nice run of fixtures and he is a nice enabler for two premium strikers.

Agree 100%. Where there is a 50/50 like that over a run of good fixtures pick one and stick.

I'm debating it. He could potentially be a good option but is still working his way back from injury and looks off form. I can't remember when he was last on form in the PL.

Charlie Austin at least has been getting a few goals if you are shopping at that price point

Him being on penos makes him interesting again

Suddenly very tempted to do Cout in for Sane

If milner was on the pitch who takes the penalty? With moreno injury and milners performance tonight there is a good chance that he will get more games

Milner has missed his last 2 I’d say he’s away from them for a while

Kane or morota up top , 2 cheap enough attackers, richarlison and 4 premium mids is the team I'd love to have.

That's the model I have been aiming for but so many premium mids is head wrecking.

Currently have

Rich, Sane, Salah, Hazard (RLC)
Kane, Morata (DCL)

I want to have Cout, Ramsay, Sterling, Dilva, Pogba also. pain in the hole.

I feel like I would get a game in my own defense though as it is woeful.

Is this a double gameweek? When do I use my triple captain?

Contemplating this as well but it will leave me with no City coverage

How many are in it? Going to be tough now you've already used up the big teams. I would try save Arsenal you're going to have to go with a few tight ones I'd prefer to take them on now instead of later. I'd be going Palace, Southampton, Watford for the next 3 weeks. If you go deep there's likely to be a few who have kept a couple of big teams back so it'll be handy to still have Arsenal left to use.

I'd be thinking palace this week and save arsenal for the home game against Newcastle next weekend.
