    I just feel like the Chelsea double up of Willian and Pulisic is the way to go.
    SHU (Away) and NOR (Home) are great fixtures.

    SHU away is no longer a good fixture. O connell back has galvanised them again

    Playing Ings, which I want to do, means I should really be benching Lindelof as I think he will concede for the reasons you gave. But I'm also playing Egan who I think will concede. I'd only be playing him for his set piece threat.

    It's so easy to overthink this! :)

    I don’t agree. Unless you desperately need both to perform points wise. If Ings doesn’t contribute, you probably get a clean sheet so at least you’re probably looking at 8-10 points from the 2 of them combined which is not the worst. United’s clean sheet chances are better than Sheff United’s imo. How did you end up with Lindelof out of all the united defensive options btw?

    Any advice?

    Jiminez to Vardy but I am 0.2m short. So need to make another transfer for a -4

    Lascelles (if he stays yellow) to Lamptey?

    Foden to a 5.1m (max) player?
    Possibilities:
    4.7m Saka (Not a certain starter, mixed fixtures)
    4.7m Declan Rice (favourable fixtures, will definitely play)
    4.8m Soucek (same reasons as Rice)

    Not overly keen on getting rid of Foden for either of those 3 but have a feeling Foden will be benched next game. Also if I get rid of Foden I will have 2 City players leaving me the option of bringing in Mahrez in a week or two.

    Any advice? Cheers

    Surely Foden figured higher in your GW35-38 plans than Vardy when you signed him right?

    Yeah. But now starting to lose faith in Foden despite the fact he could have got 12-15 points vs Newcastle.

    I only really want to get Vardy because he could run amok against Bournemouth. I will probably then take him out for Ings after one week. I'm in a H2H league and have a crucial game coming up and I'd say he will be getting Vardy in too.

    Rashford to Greenwood for free is the right move, right?

    I don't need the money, but I'm doubting myself, can't shake the feeling that Greenwood has taken his few chances well, and it may well be Rashfords turn next

    Greenwood does look much more sharp though


  • Registered Users Posts: 60 ✭✭Bigal87


    Ah we'll see. Chelsea on great form.

    Soucek has some form, so maybe him

    2 free transfers. Rashford and DCL out for Greenwood and Vardy.

    Yeah definitely Soucek. He came to West Ham with a reputation as a goalscorer, and got 2 in last 3 (should have been 3 in 3 but for a silly VAR intervention against Chelsea)

    At the time I was buying him, he was the cheaper entry into the back 4. I had Williams and he just wasnt playing and needed a nailed on Utd defender for their fixtures. It came down to Maguire & Lindelof as they were the same price, and cheaper than AWB or Shaw. Maguire has 4 Yellow cards to Lindelof 5 so a pretty even chance there of getting booked. But Lindelof had 7 bonus, spread across 4 games whereas Maguire had 5 bonus spread across 2 games. So came down to who was the bigger bonus chance really, from the cheaper players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,063 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Is KDB and rashford out and Salah and ings in worth - 4. KDB will do well to play 90 mins in the next two games with the cup next weekend and rashford looks off form

    Well if it’s purely down to the h2h, then do what you gotta but if you had faith in Foden you shouldn’t have lost it. Not much has changed, he won’t start every week and he will score points when he plays that outperform his price for the most part.

    I would have him if I wasn’t on a power 5 midfield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Few different options

    Could do the one transfer of Rashford or Jiminez (most likely him) to Vardy.

    Could do KDB to Salah with the likelihood kdb doesn't play this weekend.

    Or I could do both for a -4, or leave kdb in and remove Son instead for Salah.

    Could also play the FH as I don't like my team especially if kdb and foden both don't play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    http://twitter.com/FFScout/status/1281709494918094848

    Can’t believe the amount of people selling kdb
    I’ll take 90 minutes total over the next 2 games. I would happily take 30 minutes at the end of either game against those opponents

    And selling him for a hit ? That’s a hell no

    It’s great that he is becoming a bit of a differential for me so soon after getting him back :D

    Ideal scenario for me is he doesn’t start tomorrow but plays 30 minutes and returns a goal or assist
    Nailed on midweek captain then .


  • Registered Users Posts: 60 ✭✭Bigal87


    To be fair, I'm only selling him to get Vardy in against Bournemouth. Might get KDB back in GW36 anyway.

    A lot on here seem to be selling him and that got me wanting to bring him in.

    But only 28k manager have sold him.

    I could sell Sarr or Antonio and bring him in but I’ve been keeping those guys for these fixtures.

    I 100% agree with you.

    Trying to decide if Jota to Vardy is worth a -4. Anyone any thoughts?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Went with a risk.

    Jiminez and Son to Vardy and Salah. I'm top of work league and guy in second has both of the.

    The -4 hurts though so hopefully it works out

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    DCL and Kane gone.

    Giroud and Vardy in.

    Decided was being too smart for my own good thinking about Iheanacho. If he played 90 he'd be a good option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,421 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    did vvd and jimmi out

    lamptey and vardy in


    That takes one selection headache out of my team by getting rid of virgil. He was good for my bench boost week but dont need two liverpool defenders week in, week out.....especially if Klopp is going to be experimental with his backline


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,550 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Twitter people are freaking out about Vardy not being in some training photos. Theres a 2 minute training video that he isn't in. Plenty of other explanations for that to be fair.


  • Registered Users Posts: 59 ✭✭Nats9314


    Any thoughts on a hit for Richarlison > Willian / Pulisic? Or I have missed the boat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭SkySter


    Rashford to Greenwood and Jimenez to Vardy done. No hits.

    I left my transfer of him in until late last night
    At the end of the game the last day he went to block a clearance
    And he looked like he may have tweaked something but he played on and Rodgers said nothing so I went ahead with it
    Be sickened if something comes to light now
    He is only in for one week anyway
    I am switching him for Ings next week
    With my front 8 the way it is I’ll have a selection headache if I sell DCl for someone so I’m leaving him first sub given that his last 3 fixtures are ok
    Hoping to bank in 37
    D Silva coming in 38

    I did not notice that. I’m fairly sure I wasn’t gonna bring him in anyway but this makes me feel better about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,787 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Held off on the Vardy transfer, but will see if there is any news before 11.30

    Could bring Ings in, but it’s a week early. Would leave me with Kane though!

    I could probably do with bringing in a keeper so I don’t have to play Pope or a defender for Jack Robinson.

    Confusion!

    Using a transfer on a goalkeeper at this late stage seems a bit of a waste.

    From seeing your team, you could chance Holgate as he is going to have a late fitness test and then hope for a 0-0 in the game against Wolves.

    Would you hold Kane or go Vardy/Ings?

    Think it’s Vardy or hold Kane tbh.

    Think I'd hold this gameweek then get rid. His record against Arsenal is very good. He has 10 goals in 10 league games against Arsenal.

    Squad B by some distance, not even close. I wouldn't be sure about Doherty or Ederson but other than that good job

    Edit: I'd keep some cash to upgrade Vardy to Jesus next week

    On Vardy not being sighted in training pictures or videos; that is surely down to him having a day off with him being 33 now and needing to manage his load with the congested fixtures.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,710 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Rashford or Jiminez to Vardy worth a -4? Or is Vardy that much of a doubt?

    Reasonable enough likelihood of it yeah, although Friday seems like a strange day off given they played on Tuesday. But sure look B-Rodg knows better than I do for certain.

    It would be a risk. I think he’ll start though and he’s due a haul possibly. Pep was praising him in the presser as well. I’m tempted but my more conservative side is telling me not to!

    What will you do with him for rest of season?
    Can’t really bench a city mid with those fixtures ......he would just be a headache imo
    Unless you plan on moving him straight on
    In that case there are probably better players to punt on this week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,999 ✭✭✭shmeee


    FH active, want players so may aswel get them in and stop baiting around the bush. I have a 40 point gap to make up.

    Hurry up 11.30 so I can stop making transfers, at present going attack heavy.

    He’d be in for two weeks anyway depending on his form. Think I’ll leave him and get Antonio in instead!
