    What about Courtois? Obviously no attacking returns but you're looking for defensive cover seemingly. At 5.4, he's the cheapest way in

    I want to get rid of Jones, so it makes too much sense to get a defender.

    Thinking of Lukaku to Niasse (Despite suspension) and upgrading Romeu to Hazard. Would be a change in formation.

    Many dumping Lukaku or changing to 3 5 2?

    Have the same dilemma and going RLC

    Loading up on Chelsea player, need help with a defender though.

    Azpi and Alonso arent in my budget.

    Think my main options are Cahill, Christensen and Zappacosta. Cahills a clear starter but most expensive - are Christenson and/or Zappacosta guaranteed starters going forward? They've started the last 3 or 4 games at least, I had no idea though. I'm afraid they could drop out.

    Issues with Luiz and Moses have been helping them. Moses is due back.

    Identical front 7 to me and I have Niasse as well on the bench, I'm very happy with it and hoping it's a front 8 that I can stick with for a while and use transfers to fix the defence and GKs moving forward

    I've taken a few hits in recent weeks to get to exactly this point. I have transfers ready to cover injuries and suspensions so i can handle the rotation.

    I was tempted to dump Jesus and TPT for a hit to get Hazard and Niasse but I think I'll just bank it.

    Jesus could out preform Haz. I dropped Aguero for Morata last week so dont want to be bitten again by Peps rotation. Either way it's likely to be Jesus last game for me with a move to 352 looking likely.

    Draft League, straight choice

    Zappacosta or Christensen?

    Depends.

    Which draft league are you in ?

    Edit - joking - def Christensen

    Likewise, several hits to get here, but finally happy with my team bar a few dud defenders. Feel like I have the breathing room to address that over the comings though finally

    I'm now considering Courtois in for De Gea next week for the Christmas run. Better fixtures and that £0.2m would be useful when bumping up Mbemba...

    Nice headache to have.

    I'd go Richy though personally.

    Richy significantly shorter odds to score anytime in the bookies if that helps sway you (12/5 vs 9/2)

    Is there a risk of Luiz dumping him to the bench? Haven't been watching Chelsea much this season.

    Klopp has said Mane and Firmino will start tonight.

    Any chance of a Salah rest do we think?

    I’m terrified of this also but it’s something we’ll have to get used to for the xmas period I’d imagine

    No he will be needed for the game tomorrow night :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,497 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Have to decide who to bench - Aguero or Sane. One will probably have to sold soon, maybe both.

    He got a complete rest over the last international break so he could be in decent nick right now.

    You must have an unreal front 8 if you can consider benching either of them


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 650 ✭✭✭PVA


    I assume Jones is still out?

    Think I'm going to take a -8 to get the team in shape.

    Lukaku to Morata
    Foster to Courtois
    Naughton to Mustafi

    Will be happy to just break even on the defensive transfers this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 863 ✭✭✭mectavba


    Foster > Courtois....can't believe it took me so long to see this one staring me in the face!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Did bavies to Alonso for a -4.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,497 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    You must have an unreal front 8 if you can consider benching either of them

    Sterling (h) Salah (a) Gross (h) Richarlison (h) Sane (h)
    Aguero (h) Morata (h) Wilson (h)

    Always prefer the 3 strikers. maybe just bench Wilson but he is a guaranteed starter and Aguero is not after he started the last 2 games for City.

    Nice attacking options there

    I'd probably bench Wison, Gross or Richarlson before either Aguero or Sane.
    Sold Aguero earlier in the season as the rotation pretty much ruled him out as a captain option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,464 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    No way I'd be benching Ricki before RLC.

    Of course Frimino starts, watch him now get a double digit score after I sold him, and after I gave him the captain armband last week. Although I do think with Sturidge - he'll get less time.

    Have ended up with top 8 of

    Salah, Sane, Shaqiri, Zaha, Hazard
    Aguero, Austin, Morata

    Thinking of benching Austin for this GW, and have him there just in case Aguero doesn't get any minutes tomorrow night. If Zaha scores he'll continue his Goal/Blank/Goal sequence to week 8 which would be quite impressive.

    Arm band on Hazard.
