    Instinct is Leicester or Kola but you have that already. TAA is the first defender on my list when you factor in value so if you've no BB and don't mind relying on save points I've no convincing argument against.

    BB is my only remaining chip. Going to use it in GW35 so maybe I should hold

    I'm all against taking hits but feck this, I'm gonna go mad and just enjoy it from here out!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Took another -8 since it worked out so well last week!

    Foster, Pogba, Aguero OUT-
    Leno, Mane, Vardy IN.

    Felt so wrong transferring out Aguero. But if with the blank and City's potential quad-chasing run-in, I'm wary of having double City attack.

    I now have 10 players for GW33.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,034 ✭✭✭COH


    I have a decent 11 for this GW

    Fab
    Luiz - Robertson - Perreira - AWB
    Salah - Mane - Richarlison
    Wilson - Higuain - Vardy

    (Hamer - Anderson - Shaw - Hojberg)

    1FT and 0 itb... I'd like to maybe get Anderson out but for who? Maddison or Tielmans? If I replace him who do I drop? AWB the most likely? Could also drop Fab but not much in the way of keepers <4.6m playing this week


  • Registered Users Posts: 893 ✭✭✭howareyakid


    Fabiansiki and Lanzini out for Fraser and Kepa

    Any thoughts on below?
    FH Team draft version...
    Provisionally playing 3-4-3.

    Kepa (Hamer)
    TAA - Luiz - Kola (Bardsley, Bednarek)
    Maddison - Mane - Hazard - Fraser (Bacuna)
    Laca - Vardy - Firmino
    1.6m in the bank

    First option is: Firmino & Kepa or Higuain & Allison.

    Considering:
    Play 442, cheap third striker and upgrade a defender to premium (Would mean 2 Chelsea or Liverpool defenders).


  • Registered Users Posts: 59 ✭✭Nats9314


    have 9ish starting, including Anderson and Higuain....

    allison
    evans yedlin bednarek
    anderson salah maddison
    higuina wilson

    have the exact money for son / aguero > haz / laca.....anyone see any better options?

    Bring in Hazard, captain Salah would be my move if you're rival hasn't got Salah.

    Time to gamble and captaining Salah is the type of gamble I would like to take.

    Go big or go home imo... unless you've chip advantages and feel you can grind it out over the coming weeks.

    He Has Hazard Salah and he got Mane recently who was my differential.

    Problem is he has WC left so he can flip his team after this week.

    Do we think Sarri rests Hazard again as he has been on about his minutes and the amount of games they have coming up. They Monday, Europa league Thursday and Liverpool Sunday

    I also think he captains Salah cause he knows I’m always captaining him


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,459 ✭✭✭T-b0n3


    Allison
    TAA Tarkowski AWB Chilwell Bednarek
    Barnes Salah
    Higauin Vardy (C) Wilson(VC)
    Speroni Punch Pog - Son

    I have 11 (plus Puncheon) so I'm going to bank. Will be looking at getting Kane and Duffy next week potentially. Only TC and BB left for me so need to get some DGW players in.

    Not expecting a great week, 5 of 6 defenders away (inc GK), and Bednarek is at home to L'Pool.

    No Haz or Mane either, hopefully Vardy will be having a party and saving me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,132 ✭✭✭✭km79


    I ma going to have serious Hazard fear
    Going to be captained by 2nd and 3rd and I do not own him

    I'm on a free hit team this week.
    My Wildcard team didn't work out well last week so i am hoping to make up ground lost.

    At the moment I have:

    Guaita (Hamer)

    Roberston - Kola - Morgan (Schlupp, Benarek)

    Mané - Salah - Hazard - Tielemans (Hudson Odoi)

    Vardy - Wilson - Aubameyang

    That's my budget maxed out (well, 0.1 in the bank).

    Can anyone see any obvious improvement?

    Is that your current team for this week?
    No transfer jumping out but seeing that you're 80 behind and they don't have Salah... I would be given him the armband and hoping he gets back scoring.

    Ya my current team, great shout on Salah and I’m thinking now of Westwood & Aguero to Tielmans & King/Laca

    Any opinions?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Aguero/Sterling to Siggy/Vardy for -4. WC next week then


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,199 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Took a -12, teams in ribbons

    Saving WC for next GW

    Ederson, Shaw, Pogba, Aguero all out

    Kepa, Luiz, Haz, Vardy all in

    GL all


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,508 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Already had 11 players but a couple of them were the hanging on the coat tails types so took a - 4 pre wildcard.

    Aguero and Jimenez out

    Lacazette and Vardy in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,363 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Took a -8 to get Laca/Wilson/Vardy in place of 3 blanks.

    All have games anyway so mentally they're -2 transfers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Aguero/Sterling to Siggy/Vardy for -4. WC next week then
    The more I think of it, any -4 is really a -2, mightgo to -8/-12 now


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Did Jimenez and Zanka our for Vardy and Azpi for -4

    Hopefully Azpi keeps his current run of form


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    The more I think of it, any -4 is really a -2, mightgo to -8/-12 now

    Only if you have a WC, your left with that team then

    Based on what Sarri has just said, it looks like Higuain won’t start against Slavic but Giroud.

    Think I’ll transfer Higuain for Vardy

    I've messed around with the defense based on research.

    Happier with this now:

    Begovic (Boruc)

    Roberston - Chilwell - Schar (Kelly, Benarek)

    Mané - Salah - Hazard - Tielemans (Hudson Odoi)

    Vardy - Wilson - Aubameyang

    It was enough for me to take a -4 for and shift him out for Lacca, lost value on both over it with one going up and one down last night.



    Maurizio Sarri wants Chelsea to keep Gonzalo Higuain despite his struggle to adapt in #PL

    Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has compared Gonzalo Higuain to Luis Suarez and says the on-loan striker "needs time" to improve.

    “Yes of course, but it depends on the club, it depends on Juventus. It's not clear the situation at the moment.”

    I read that earlier and came to the same conclusion. It just sounded like the other poster thought Higuaín would start tomorrow and Giroud in the Europa League. Maybe I read it wrong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,340 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    -4 taken

    Aguero pogba out
    Vardy mane in

    I'm breaking my never own mane golden rule for a 1 week punt lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,431 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Did Anderson to Siggy for a one week punt. Welcome back my old friend :)

    Firmino in for Rashford for -8


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I did a u-turn on my bank the transfer plan.

    Arnautovic to Wilson done.

    Probably Hazard to Mané.

    Decided against this in the end due to Hazard’s likely high effective ownership. Did a real glamour move of Fabianski out for Schmeichel.
