    I'd say by having either one premium striker, only two premium defenders (Alonso being one).

    I transferred him in this week. My team is

    DDG
    Mendy, Alonso, Wan B
    Mkhi,Bilva,Salah,Walcott
    Aguero,Mitro,Jimenez

    I think Alonso outscores Robertson over the next 2 GW's so was worth the swap.

    Have Alonso, Mendy and Robertson, all 3 looking essential at this stage imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,531 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Current team
    Foster/Ryan
    Mendy/Robertson/Alonso/AWB/Peltier
    Salah/Theo/Bilva/Gunnarson/Kante
    Aguero/Firmino/Arnie

    FT already used.

    Looking at Bilva to Hazard and Firmino to Mitro for -8. Not even sure of Bilva's start v Newcastle, albeit a lovely fixture. Firmino with tricky games incoming.

    Could also WC and get rid of Peltier/Gunnarson and maybe adjust keepers. Just doesnt feel the team is that bad shape to WC

    Any thoughts?

    Has Walcott actually been performing? Everytime I touch the guy in fantasy football he flops so I'm not excatly falling all over him. Need to get rid of Richarlison anyway.

    In that case, on behalf of those of us who bought him, please don't buy him!!

    Haha ya I'm just not convinced by him but haven't seen him play this season so?

    22 points in 3 games is good going. They seemed to be trying to get him and Ricky in behind in the highlights of the games I seen so far so plenty of potential there. But he very hot/cold alright

    Would losing one of them not affect the others play as well though?

    I think Bernard/Lookman/Gomes will step in so should stay similar I'd imgine

    Looking like Mendy and Aguero are the only essential City players? Is it worth gambling on any of their Mids?

    Exactly. Ings, Zaha, Aguero being a very common front three. Helps with Mhiki and Ricky/Walcott in midfield too. I will eventually move out Coleman for Alonso and Morata for Ings. I don't care how much Alonso ends up costing, I've never owned and I want to so bad.

    What are you waiting for, to lose more points by going without?
    That's what -4/-8 is for!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,404 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Robertson/Pedro or Monreal/Mkhy?

    Haha! Not sure if you're being serious or not :pac:

    I'm very prone to a -4 hit, probably too prone to them in past years. This season I'm trying my best to put more faith in my team and be more sensible. Coleman at home to Huddersfield is worth keeping I think. Plus I have Morata at home to Bournemouth. If Ricky didn't mess things up, I would've done the -4 this week, but I can't justify a -8.

    I was serious!
    Have done -8 last week and this, my thinking is get the players you want long term before inevitable price rises and your existing players losing value.
    Drag it out and those .1s add up, preventing you getting your targets.

    Bsilva out hazard in. Like Chelseas next few fixtures could definitely see hazard banging in a few

    Swore last season that I'm never buying Hazard again. He will go on a run and the minute I get him in he will blank until I sell him again.

    Honestly, David Silva is probably the only City mid that I'd bring in. That's if I didn't already have three City players, of course!

    You have Ederson?
    He's the only other I was considering for his distribution/possible assists

    Yup. I like going with a "Set and forget" keeper and thought he was the best option.

    Chances are everyone has a defender within a million or so of him that can be ditched. It's far more affordable than a Sanchez/Kane going mental and we all needing to wildcard to find 3m

    Your team is very similar to mine and I certainly wouldn’t be wildcarding. I thought about a -4 this week for Miki or Pedro and was lucky I didn’t go for it.

    We’ve still had too small a sample of games to be thinking about wildcarding unless you have to IMO.
