    why not?

    newcaslte keeper defender playing away to brighton and two Watford mid's away to Swansea.

    surly wont get a much better week to use it?

    Newcastle could easily conceed and Swansea are just off the back of keeping a clean sheet away to Spurs, plus Watford just got hammered, I wouldn't be overly optimistic on them doing very well this gw. There will be much better spots further into the season to use your bench boost

    I actually didn't believe this team was under 100m, so I went and tested it myself.

    Ended up with 0.7m in the bank :o:o:o

    Interesting......

    Midfield is super weak thou!

    to be honest I was very surprised that I was able to even put that team together!

    midfield is the low point for sure but with KDB in there and matic being solid I see it being ok, then I have atsu and the Watford boys to rotate in the hope they score points

    I'm thinking of doing Alonso, De Bruyne & Firmino to Bavies, Salah & Aguero for an 8 point hit.

    It feels right to me, any thoughts?

    It will give me a VERY juicy and top heavy strikeforce of Luk, Kane & Aguero.

    I dropped from 13k to 150k this week so maybe i'm panicking slightly.

    I ended up doing KDB, Choupu-Moting & Firminio out for Silva, Doucoure & Aguero for the 8 points. Think I'm happy with it.

    what's the choice, Davies or Trippier?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 462 ✭✭Xaniaj


    Can't decide whether to do a late WC or take a second - 4 for KDB>Mkhi, Lukaku>Kun. Have a fear of going without Kun this week!

    Any thoughts would be welcomed! Current team would be (after above suggest changes)

    Elliot (Foster)
    Bavies, Bailly, Mee (Bertrand, Suttner)
    Alli, Mooy, Ramsey, Mikhi (Carroll)
    Kun, Vardy, Firmino

    Why does everyone seem to sell Firmino? Has he become a bad option with Mané out?

    If it's the case, I have 2 options:
    1. Firmino -> Vardy
    2. Firmino + Alli -> Aguero + Ritchie (-4)

    Basically Alli + Vardy vs Ritchie + Aguero?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,244 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Foster/Elliott
    Ward, Naughton, Mbemba, Lowe, Jones
    Miki, Salah, Ritchie, Gross, Carroll
    Lukaku, Kane, Aguero

    Anyone suggest a better 4.5 than Lowe?

    Can you stretch to 4.6 for Lascelles?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,218 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Long out for Jones.

    Price changes didn't go my way so would have needed a -8 to get Aguerooo in (or a -4 with Lukaku going).

    Gonna be a long day if Captain Kane blanks....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,842 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    With Kun rising last night it means I can only afford Kane to Aguero but struggling to pull the trigger....

    What's wrong with Lowe? Consistent points from bench fodder is always good.
    Maybe kiko fermenia at Watford?

    I was thinking they'd be your bench fodder, but didn't see you already had three Newcastle. Scratch that so!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    @ Lemlin: What about Brighton's Suttner (£4.4m)?

    I don't think he has become a bad option. Mane will be back for next game too.

    People just overreacting I think. If he was a good option 2 weeks ago then he's still a good option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 674 ✭✭✭carnie


    Suggestions please.

    My backline consists of Bavis, Cedric, Mee, Dunk and Francis.

    I'm gonna play Bavis and Mee but I'm not sure about my third defender. I don't think any of the other 3 will keep a clean sheet. So I'm thinking about taken a hit to swap Francis for either Martina or Fernández.

    Yay or nay?

    Play Cedric for attacking points potentially

    Fernandez isn't worth a minus 4.

    Cheers.. after I posted I thought about just going for Cedric. As you said it's not worth taking a hit

    Well I overreacted then :p. Made the change for -4. Firmino + Alli -> Aguero + Ritchie.

    Felt I had no great captain option despite all my premium players. Nobody beats an inform Aguero in a City team scoring for fun (watch them blank today :pac:).

    In the end, I played a late rushed WC last GW that I shouldn't have (kinda knew playing it that late wasn't a great idea and wasn't something I felt comfortable with but got carried away) and I'd be much better off had I kept my GW1 team :pac:...
    Ah well that's also the beasty beauty of this game. Sometimes it almost forces you into making bad mistakes.

    So far. Agüero himself overscored Firmino & Alli. 3 pts from Ritchie and I break even.

    Hopefully Ritchie can have a blinder and save my previous mistakes ;).
