The never-ending gameweek is thankfully followed by a quick turnaround to the next one

Sold Aguero to cash in on the 0.1 and because of his upcoming blank. Can always get him straight back in 2 weeks if i want to

Scorpion Sting

Bench boosting this gameweek.

I decided to go for Martial over Fernandes in the end with Two Gloves in a bit of form and OOP. A 0.2 saving as well.

Not certain who captain will be, currently on ings (his only double digit haul so far this season is against villa).

Bench: cantwell, Cathcart and soyuncu and foster

Cartman78

Starting to circle the drain again the last couple of weeks, a haul from Captain Mane could change all that I reckon

McCarthy

TAA | Boly | Lascelles | Stevens

KDB | Salah | Mane (C)

Aubameyang | Ings | Jiminez

Subs: Button | Fleck | Cantwell | Rico

Good luck all.

I'm hoping my steady rise will continue.

Trimm Trabb

Henderson

Egan TAA Boly

Salah (c) Mane Traore Grealish

Ings Vardy DCL

Pretty optimistic about that lot. Green arrows in 9 out of last 10 weeks to get me to 120k. Hoping to continue the trajectory.

This GW is made for a template team. First -4 since November or so. First time owning Ings & Jimenez (or any S'ton or Wolves players), hope I don't jinx them.

Henderson
TAA - Gomez - Stevens
Salah (c) - KDB - Martial - Grealish
Vardy - Jimenez - Ings

Button - Saka - Soyuncu - Sidibe

Still tempted to make Firmino captain as a differential but on Salah for now

Foster, Cantwell, Hayden, Chilwell

Recent weeks seen me loose ground with Mane triple captain one pointer followed by Aguero blanks since bringing him in and taking a hit to bring in Salah last week also saw him only get a clean sheet bonus point after I missed his run of double digit scores. Of course Mane scored when I had just sold him. Taking a punt on Grealish to Traore this week as I think Traore might do well against Norwich and Grealish was my week 28 blank with the worst run of fixtures coming up.

Good luck!

Right........
Start Henderson (BRI) or Pope (BOU)
And
Egan (BRI) or Taylor (BOU)



Also
DCl (ars ) or Barnes (MCI)

I'd go Henderson Taylor dcl. Taylor a bit more attacking threat than Egan and arsenal should be more leaky than city with laporte back

I'd go Henderson, Egan and DCL but you are miles ahead of me in game rank so much more likely than me to make the correct calls on those options.

km79

Thanks for replies guys
Reinforced my thinking
Henderson and DCL are certs
It is whether Taylors attacking threat makes it worth the gamble of splitting the defences
This is a headache I will have a few times for rest of season so just have to accept it as it covers blanks with good fixtures

Henderson Taylor DCL for me

With 50:50 calls like this I think it's sometimes best to pick one from each side rather than doubling up one way or the other. If you double up on SHU for example you just know Burnley are keeping a clean sheet

Cantona's Collars

..... Henderson.....

Robertson...Williams....Egan..

Salah(c)...Mane... KDB... Docoure..

Jiminez... Aubameyang....Ings.

Maybe Sidibe instead of Williams and Cantwell for Docoure.

Any advice on that??

Yeah maybe Cantwell for Doucore. I would leave Williams in for Sidibe. If he doesn't start then hope he doesnt come on

Nice team

Cantwell over Doucoure for me.

Brian201888

Start one of Martinelli, Aurier, Maupay, Holgate

Torn, Aurier is the only guaranteed a start I think but Martinelli and Maupay probably more likely to return if they play.

I was thinking that, Watford don't do well at Old Trafford.....but over the last while we've seen these teams change those records.

Also you are starting Williams
And Norwich are fond of an away goal so worth a punt
Its a coin toss really
Both prob get 2 points!

munster87

Didn’t someone on Twitter know the Sheff Utd team before the deadline past few gameweeks? Any sign of a relevant tweet by them this week?

km79

Have to hit the road now
Switched Egan and C taylor to spread the pain when both teams concede anyway

Porthallian

No leaked team sheets?

The one day I'm looking for early team news theres no sign of it

Didn't have the bottle to captain robbo

Alli Aurier bench

Abraham bench

ThewhiteJesus

Good to see Tammy on the bench at least

Cartman78

Looking around my leagues....literally everyone has captained Salah, so my armband choice of Mane will be a huge differential one way or the other.

A lot of people have brought in Jiminez too it seems for Vardy/Aubameyang

It's a guy a on Reddit. Didn't see anything this week

km79

Teams beginning to diversify a bit
I’m the only one in my leagues with mane and salah double up
Some have gone for double defence some with firmino
Almost all have salah captained
It wasn’t a week for messing around with captaincy imo

I've double defence plus Salah. Have a feeling they will conceded today

Gru (Barkley )

Welcome to 2015

Cartman78

Giroud goal, possibly Barkley assist

ScummyMan

Lampard should be sacked for keeping Gru as his third choice striker

dahat

Giroud always likely to miss a sitter and that's why hell never be first choice anywhere these days.

Iused2likebusts

Did holgate mooy and auba to taylor traore and vardy for a -4. Going with BB this week
Pope
Vvd Taa baldock
Grealish kdb martial salah
Vardy ings jiminez
BB mccarthy egan taylor traore

Cartman78

Good luck to all that are Bench Boosters this week.

I'm still tethered to the idea of keeping it for a DGW....the memory of the 200+ points from a couple of years ago is still fresh lol

What was the thinking in keeping DCL in your WC team? Some tough fixtures ahead for him. Would have Vardy in there myself after downgrading Mané or Salah.

claw

Pope
Baldock TAA Van Dijk
Martial Traore Salah(C) KDB
Ings Vardy Jimenez

Subs: Henderson Taylor Hayden Lascelles

Played wildcard, Hayden and Lascelles the wrong way around

Taylor in for Kelly.

COH

Ryan
Robertson - Boly - TAA
Salah (c) - KDB - Madisson - Grealish
Vardy - Ings - Jimenez

(Button - Rico - Soy - Dendonker)

No hits - just Boly in for Lundstram. 2FTs and 12 starters for next gameweek as it stands

Lundstram

Foster
TAA Rico Holgate
Salah(c) Martial Cantwell KDB
Aguero Jimi DCL
Soy-LordL-Luiz

Just Son out for Matial. Not expecting much this week from this lot. Chickened out of captaining Jimi at the last minute. Jota is a problem.

All chips left -TC. Can't bring myself to play them in non-DGWs.
