    Was looking at that but United aren’t the teaM of old... 3 goals to Sheff U.

    If hadn’t West Ham this week it would be done :)

    Is this madness, for a -4?

    Wilson, Mount, Guilbert OUT
    Ings, Son, Williams (can only afford 4m def) IN


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,155 ✭✭✭893bet


    I think Mount deserves another week.

    Take the drop and hope he delivers.

    Gonna bank.

    There’ll be big regrets for those selling Mount.

    Is it weird that Leicester seem the hardest fixture for scoring out of those three?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,877 ✭✭✭Pogue eile


    No idea why anyone is considering getting rid of Mount, never a better time to have him, load up on Leicster and Chelsea for the next few weeks.

    Just people looking at him not starting at the weekend I'd say

    More so his returns over the last few options & other options coming up.

    There’ll be plenty of rotation in the next few GW’s


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,435 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    To be fair, the sell/keep Mount is a 50/50 call, make your decision and roll with it. There's nobody (bar Captain Hindsignt) going to tell you in 2 weeks "it was the obvious move".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,064 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Considering this for - 4
    Digne sterling Jimi out and Baldock son kane in. Is that too much spurs but they have 3/4 at home

    1. Pulisic
    2. His form has dipped significantly and it is his first season in Prem so he could be beginning to struggle who knows
    3. Rotation
    4. Lots of other options in price range performing

    I don’t have him. If I had him I’d hold. But I won’t be buying him that’s for sure

    The only reason he didn't start at the weekend was that Lampard picked horses for courses and went with a more defensive midfield against City, to be honest it makes him all the more appealing for the fixtures they have coming up.

    Captain for this week?

    Loads of options this week currently have it on Mane but Vardy and Abraham definitely on my mind.

    Vardy for me, but I have 10 at home including Mane, Abraham and Jimenez who are all options.

    The Grealish/Mount talk over the past 24 hours seems to have a fairly obvious path:

    GW14 - Mount v West Ham (H)
    GW15 - Mount v Aston Villa (H)
    GW16 - Mount v Everton (a)
    GW17 - Mount v Bournemouth (H)
    GW18 - Grealish v Southampton (H)
    GW19 - Grealish v Norwich (H)
    GW20 - Grealish v Watford (a)

    Plays 5 of 7 fixtures at home.

    Plays 6 of the 7 bottom teams in the league (plus Bournemouth)

    You miss all their tough fixtures - other player plays United (a), Chelsea (a), Leicester (H), Sheff U (a), Spurs (a), Southampton (H), Arsenal (a) in the same timeframe.

    Unlikely that you're not gonna be able to do a straight swap between them with prices.

    Looks good
    I’ll prob play safe this week and do KDB to son
    Will follow that up with martial to pulisic or mount
    Although I prob should sell fredericks soon too!
    A villa defender might not be a bad shout for that period


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,298 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Cresswell to Aurier this week I reckon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Moved early on Auba to Vardy. I think this may be the first time I've ever owned Vardy. Sorry in advance if I've jinxed him.

    I doubt it, one return in 5. Given how many options there are under 7m you can’t afford to have him doing nothing

    And his shot selection is not great - majority of shots from outside the box so the goals were due to dry up. In saying that, I don’t think he’s a bad option at his price but I’d actually go Daniel James over him currently.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭galwaylad14


    Went bold with my tranfers this week kdb and Connolly to James and Jesus. Risky but just fancy it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 211 ✭✭ShimSlady


    Tempted to take a hit on either Cantwell to Alli or KDB to Salah


  • Registered Users Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    Current Front 8 is
    Maddison Pulis KdB Mane Cantwell
    Auba Vardy Abraham

    Have 2 FT's

    Which is the spurs player to own?
    Kane Or Son?
    Will have to get Son for KDB or Kane for Auba

    Typically Mourinho teams favour a big striker who gets all the goals so leaning towards Kane,but Son is the form player and everyone here seems to favour him ahead of Kane.
    Getting son will also mean no city cover as i dont want to sell maddison or Pulisic both of whom have good Fixtures.

    Should i wait 1 more week to decide or will it be too late to jump ship then..thots?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,720 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Still mulling over Mount -> Son, or Cantwell -> Alli.

    Leaning towards the Alli option.....

    will leave me with a very strong front 8 coming into the busy festive fixtures, sure I'll have a few selection headaches but won't have any rotation concerns.

    Have been canvassing Spurs and Chelsea fans here at work, and have been assured than Mount will be back in the team for 'easier' games, and that Alli is back to his best :cool:

    Your dilemma is KDB & Kane or Son & Auba

    I'd definitely take KDB & Kane (I currently have KDB and Son). Having Kane at 15% ownership is a great scenario

    Bought into the VAJ frontline right before Jim's rise last night.

    Cant see myself changing for the rest of the season just for all the puns with the workmates

    I don't have Vardy, and I still don't plan to buy him. I think I've gotten on fine without him the last few weeks.

    But just to add to your festive period point, Leicester have a big build up at the end of December that surely Vardy won't start every game in. They have been playing 1 game a week again for a couple of season and Vardy is pushing 33.

    Sat 14th Dec - Norwich h
    Wed 18th Dec - Everton a (League Cup 1/4 final)
    Sat 21th Dec - Man City a
    Thurs 26th Dec - Liverpool h
    Sat 28th Dec - West Ham a
    Wed 1st Jan - Newcastle a

    The obvious game here to miss, from a FPL owner perspective, would be for Vardy to miss the League cup 1/4 final. But winning there would put Leicester and Rodgers in a great position of winning a trophy, so should be gearing towards winning that. Potential 2 leg semi final against one of Man Utd, Villa or Man City. they would beat 2 of those teams over 2 legs IMO.

    If Vardy starts that 1/4 final, will he be able to start 5 games in 14 days? One will have to give. Maybe West Ham away?

    Vardy has not ever and will not be rested
    He is basically a freak
    They are completely dependent on him

    Aurier is playing very high up the pitch now so that could be a great transfer. He could also go and get himself sent off though so it's a risky one too.

    I really like the idea of Aurier for Rico but there is just so much value in the defence. It's already hard enough to choose between Soy, Tomori and Lundstrum

    Abraham in 51% of teams. interesting weekend ahead.

    Yeah all his stats show him doing nothing 95% of the time too. Distance covered, passes are all way down on usual. He basically just stays up top between the posts and only comes alove when he snifs a chance. Not the most taxing role, even for a 33 year old.

    His international retirement means he has a lot of breaks during the season too.

    Danny Ings is giving me the eye now
    Which would then allow marital to son next week
    Or
    Vardy to Kane if I am insane
    Which I am not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,064 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Do we think Abraham price will drop tonight? Its either kane or rashford for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,205 ✭✭✭scotchy


    Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard confirmed Abraham was in the dressing room at full-time, adding: "The word at half-time was that it looked quite severe, but the word afterwards was that it wasn't quite so severe. But that's all I know at this point now."
