Kane will be one but Mendy will be a downgrade.

Stupid because Aguero is 51% owned and will be captained by most this weekend.

Maybe it’s too early for a move like this but I was so so close to going for Hazard just before his haul. I’m feeling Kane might be about to score 5 in 2.

But I’m not happy that Aguero will now be getting 60-70 minute appearances and I was hoping Mendy was a season keeper and that the ‘injury’ was BS but turns out it probably is an injury.

If I’m correct I’ll move right up the leaderboard. If I’m wrong I’ll be severely punished and drop quite significantly.

Spurs and Kane have been poor yet he’s only scored 12 points less than Aguero who everyone thinks is an absolute must have. Is he though ?

as much as someone could argue that Salah is not worth 12.9 at the moment, Kane is nowhere near 12.5.

yes, it's Kane.
yes, he has a habit of exploding unlike any other player bar Aguero.

but he's not even looking dangerous.

at least Salah looks threatening every time he takes to the pitch.

I think Kane will be the highest scorer over the next two weeks but the hassle involved getting him in and out is too much and it’ll just take 1-2 other fires to make it a bad move re taking hits.

Way better value @5m than Chilwell. I’ve had him for the past 5 weeks and massively regret it

can't change the past but can look to the future. His next 10 fixtures are half decent whilst the premium defenders play each other or have multiple games. from seeing him in action and with the numbers to back it up, if clean sheets are ignored for all teams the differential would be in attacking returns - just maybe his chances of getting them are better than in his first 5 weeks? seems a savage engine and possibly is a 5.5 defender under valued ?

he didn't start last week either. seems he needs games and needs to learn Pep and what he wants from him. goals are still goals. 3 well taken goals.

Re Chilwell; Pereira is probably a better option, I know he didn't play last weekend but the injury to Gray means he could be playing more in midfield. If he plays, he is aa good an attacking defender available outside of Alonso and Robbo, more so if playing further up the pitch.

Just thinking Mahrez might be worth a punt for Citys games against Burnley and Southampton. They have important games in the league and Europe around then where the big guns will be playing so Mahrez might come in for those two.

Wildcard, stick or Siggy/Firmino to Kane/Lennon for -8, have exact money so can’t afford any fluctuations, already down around 850k so I am going to need to start gambling or be left behind.
Current wasters and under performers are:
Hart: brought in this week for Foster.
Speroni: not playing. Hamer on wildcard.
Robertson, Bennett, AWB and Alonso: all good.
Bamba: not playing. Bellerin on wildcard.
Siggy: Poor. Ramsey on wildcard.
Salah: expensive . Mane on wildcard.
Neves: poor. Lennon on wildcard.
Dilva: rotation risk. Maddison on wildcard.
Fraser: hopefully hasn’t shot his load.
Kun: legend
Firmino: poor for the money. Kane on wildcard.
Ings: doing well in a poor team. Mitrovic on wildcard.
What would you do?

Ya its a good shout alright I got rid of him Monday as Trippier was about to rise, but now he could even become a starter as a RW given Gezzhal form hasn't been great.

It'd be great if he starter games a RB and was first choice to move to RW as a sub as if he started RW you would worry about his minutes as its a spot that Puel seems to sub a lot

I'd be hopeful that even if Mendy plays the Brighton game that Trippier can at least match him against Huddersfield.

That's if he even plays. It could be Aurier in that game.

0.1 short from Hazard and Mitrovic out to Kane and Richarlison in. Damnit

Why would you sell Mitrovic? He's in great form and is cheap. Kane whilst ticking over isn't in great form and is 12.4m.

I think Kane and Richi outscore Mitro and Hazard in the next two game weeks and would also cover the hit.

I've had Mitro since GW1 and he's been a superstar for me

Green&Red

Mitro could outscore the two of them without Hazards help. I don’t get how after one black GW Hazard is on the chopping block for so many here

NabyLadistheman

Swapped Chilwell in for TAA on my Wilcard for GW4. Purely based on fixtures & it has cost me the guts of 20 points already. Desperate decision

Hazard has done exactly what I brought him in to do and that was to play him against Cardiff. He got more points in that game than I ever expected. He then raised in price a lot which made it even better.

No big hitter will be season long imo and it'll be about rotating them out at the right times. I.e getting Kane in for Cardiff.

Lisa.J.Kelly

Time to get richarlison and mitrovic in! Look good value for money

I'd start of with using the space bar
Found myself getting panicked reading that.

I'm not sure Siggy & Firmino to Kane & Lennon is an -8 I would take.

If you take it that Dilva has had his rest and will play next few PL games then I wouldn't panic into a WC.

If you bench is decent then not for me. Only 2 more games til int break. If he his declared fit for GW9 would you want to bring him back in?

2 of Rico, Bennett, Wan Bissaka.

I’d be more than happy if declared fit for GW9.

Problem is TV. I’ll start losing value if he drops anymore

I’d expect Rico to be dropped this weekend, taken off at HT last weekend
I expected big things from him

Looking for a midfielder for 7.7 million as a Kane enabler. All things being equal, Maddison would be the guy. However, I don't think this is going to be a long-term move. I don't want Kane for too long and will have value to use before long.


Newcastle away first and they've an average of 2 home goals conceded per game. But if you look closer that is from 3 games against Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal. Leicester are less of an attacking threat than those sides too. That is followed by Everton at home which I think might be tougher than it looks also. Arsenal first up after the international break also so unless I'm planning on sticking with him for the medium-term it doesn't seem so appealing.


Chief candidates are Bernardo Silva who was given the night off last night, Ramsey who was playing the number 10 role for Arsenal at the weekend and is a all round getter of scaldy goals/assists, and outside bets of Sigurdsson/Walcott, however I already have Richarlison and don't really think an Everton attacking double up looks on.


For reference, my other midfielders would be Mane, Fraser, Richarlison and eh Stephens.


Thoughts on a postcard please.

Thanks. I think Moura might be a likely candidate to not play at the weekend, with all of Eriksen, Son and Kane rested tonight, with him starting and Alli starting also putting himself into the equation also.

You could well be right and have convinced me to do Moura to Bilva now rather than try own both

Kane has shown absolutely nothing to justify the extra outlay never mind the captaincy

I refuse to get burned again
If he shows a few weeks of actually looking like a footballer I may consider him

S.M.B.

Holding out for concrete news on Mendy is proving to be really difficult. Hope I don't regret refusing to cut him quicker. Still hoping to bank this week.

Green&Red

Has Hazards goal tonite changed any minds that were selling him.

On Aguero, he’s played something stupid like every home game since the start of last season that he’s been fit for. They are playing Brighton, who Southampton made look like a conference league team just two weeks ago.

That’s SOUTHAMPTON who had Shane Long up front.

That’s SHANE LONG!!!

SHANE F**KING LONG

Those talking about swapping him for Kane it’s a huge risk and the guy who said he was swapping him cause he wanted a captain option for the weekend...... I am speechless

If it's to act as a Kane enabler then I would rule out Moura. Whatever about potential rotation headaches*, I don't think Spurs justify taking up 2 of 6/7/8 attacking slots.


*I think Moura will rank as a very high rotation risk compared to others.

I an very much planning on getting Kane as an attempt to pre-empt points rather than buy players after they score big. That's what the game is about essentially.

Kanes low point was the Watford game. His average position heat map in that game was comical. He has been improving since and crucially getting some chances. Player comparison tool on FFS shows his stats as better than most other premium strikers over the last few games even including the Watford debacle.

Yes he has done nothing to justify his price. But Busts was spot on when he said elsewhere that that success this seaspn will depend on hopping onto the premium players around their best potential scoring runs (I.e. when they play Cardiff ) Stats, eye test and gut make Kane worth a punt if you can fit him.

However. I won't be selling Aguero for him under any circumstances. Fully with you on him.

I'm building my wildcard around having 3 spots for premium attackers. 3 from Aguero, Kane, Hazard, Salah, Sterling pretty much.

Aguero, Kane and Salah (or maybe Sterling for 2 weeks) will probably be the three with best potential for the next 3 weeks.

I have already built my WC with this 3 premium make up. and this week it is Salah out for  Kane. 
Kane v Huddersfield& Cardiff has much more potential than Salah v Chelsea, City.
My plan is to get Salah back in and that could be for Aguero. We'll know more in 2 weeks. 
Huge diffrential this season will be hopping on the premiums and getting captains right.

I disagree on Maddison but if you're not pushed on him I'd definitely go Ramsey. Think the top 5 midfield in the game right now is:
Hazard Mane Richarlison Maddison Ramsey

There are 37 other midfielders ahead of him on scoring this year so far, including Xhaka @ £5.3M if an Arsenal player was needed.

New manager at Arsenal, took a few games to figure out how to fit in Laca and PEA in the same team, then Ozil and Micky in the same team. Looks like they've finally cracked it with a very attacking front 4, which Ramsey is the center number 10. He's scored well in a deeper role in previous seasons, and has an upcoming fixture list of Watford, Fulham, Leicester, Palace.

I repeatedly did this last year with Kane despite him not looking like he could even run at the time
It ruined my season

I’ll wait until he actually scores well before I even consider him this season

And it won’t be this weekend with aguero already being an excellent captaincy shout
Tbh I don’t know if I will get him at all
He sickened me last year

High possibility Ramsey won't start.

Has to be an 'either Ramsey or Ozil' thing now. Wouldn't be bringing him in.

Why

Frisbee

It looks like Ramsey, Ozil & Mkhitaryan will be filling two spots in the front four. I wouldn't say any of them are 'guaranteed' starters over the coming weeks.

However Arsenal play Qarabag away on the 4th October and Mkhitaryan won't be playing that game due to issues between Armenia & Azerbaijan so I would say good chance he plays the league games either side of it.

Ozil will probably be “ill” again soon anyway

The real mccoy 91

A
Bavies --> bennett
Success --> arnie

B
Bavies --> Bellerin/another 5.4 or under
Aguero --> kane

Thoughts? Gonna be taking a -4 either way I'm leaning towards A

Arnie may not even be fit

For B I defo would not be selling aguero
I think anyone considering that needs to reconsider
