Periera will go straight back into the team when he's fit (which will take some time) and I think Castagne will take over at left full. Justin is still very raw and makes some rash tackles.

I do agree and think Justin will lose his place. I had him from the start so have some value tied up there. Will transfer out once I have a replacement picked. I just don’t want to transfer him out In a tinker then can’t gat him back If the said replacement gets injured or COVID!

Not sure what 4.5 I like.

Taylor at burnley? I like him but their defence doesn’t look right just yet

Lewis at Newcastle? Good first gw but not impressed by Newcastle since then although I didn’t see or read up on their win against Burnley.

Lamptey? Double up with Ryan in goal!

I think Ayling/Dallas at Leeds are good options too. Walker-Peters is another but Lamptey would be my first choice.

Kwp, Konsa, lamptey, masuaku look the best of the 4.5 options imo

After the craziness of this season I decided to hit the big red button and abandon any attempt at strategic thinking:

Ryan (Button)
KWP, Justin, Targett, Dallas, Mitchell
KDB, Hamez, Salah, Son, Grealish
Kane, DCL, Brewster

I might chop and change the back 4

That’s a cracking team!!!!

Hey all. Need some advice, please

Already played wildcard and already spent my gameweek transfer (idiot I know). Would you free hit with this team, or take a minus 4 or minus 8?



Thanks

I would do nothing. Carry on into next gw, bank transfer.

Ye no need do anything, jorginho only good if they get pens, but for that price all you expect, Davis could be one Brewster if he gets game time and need make a move, but no need for big changes and certainly not for a hit

Lundstram

Wilcard activated.

Have this at the moment.

Martinez
Robertson Saiss Justin
Son Salah Grealish Hamez
DCL Maupay Kane

Peacock-Farrell KWP Bissouma Dunne

Leaves 1.6m in the bank but don't see an upgrade worth doing tbh. City look all over the place at the moment but a little afraid of not owning KdB.

Colking

McCarthy (4.0)
Chilwell, Justin, Targett, Dunne, Mitchell
KDB, Hamez, Salah, Son, Grealish
Kane, DCL, Brewster

I'm thinking of running with Grealish for now and once Alison returns to Liverpool swapping Grealish out for a 4.5 and bringing in Robertson for maybe Justin.

I am tempted by Castagne though

Hasn’t Dunne been dropped? I’d probably pick up a a defender like Konsa with the extra cash to be honest.

Hey all, I have put together two options and am really struggling to decide which to go with. Any initial insight at all would be really appreciated!

Open the Pubs

I'd go with 2 all day there, better defence and better attack.

I’d have Jorginho over McGinn

heartofwhite

Thanks for the advice, I must say I am leaning towards option two. Regarding Jorginho over McGinn, I had considered this but is Jorginho not a bit more of a risk in terms of game time while McGinn is pretty nailed on.

I’d say Jorginho will play more then McGinn over the course of the season

ShaneU

Gone from

McCarthy Nyland
TAA Digne KWP Justin Mitchell
Salah KDB Rodríguez Soucek Burke
Jimenez DCL Adams

to

Guaita Forster
Digne Zouma Saiss Konsa Dallas
Salah Son Rodriguez Grealish Neto
Kane DCL Wilson

Will Zouma keep his place?
Had to get rid of Justin and Mitchell as I expect they'll be dropped soon

A very nice team and well balanced.

I would have one caveat though :

Do you have a plan to get in a Man City asset if you need to ? A 2 move plan ? It might be Aguero, Sterling or KDB but you will probably want one of them in the next few weeks.

Talk me out of putting Zaha in my WC TEAM. Currently between him and Barnes.

joeyboy11

Current team with 0 in the bank:

Martinez (4.0)
Dallas, lamptey, KWP, Taylor, (3.9)
kDB, Salah, Son, Hamez, Grealish
Kane, DCL, Brewster

I’m getting nervous having no Trent or Robbo.
Would the below be more sensible?

Martinez to 4.5 (Mcarthy or Ryan)
Lamptey to Robbo
Grealish to Soucek

Keepers won’t have much difference between them.I think lamptey and grealish is exciting but Robbo and Soucek is solid.
Just to add I like what I’ve seen of Soucek. Gets in the box every chance he gets and the target man on set pieces.

Barnes wins out for me. What about hamez and grealish? Maybe even trossard.
I think palace had zero shots last game v Chelsea. If I knew he was going to play as a striker and take pens maybe...

I was eyeing up Zaha for a while but Palace just seem far too blunt in attack. As a compromise I'm now considering a punt on PVA. Current draft;

Martinez, Steer;
TAA, Semedo, PVA, Lamptey, Dallas;
Salah, Son, Grealish, Trossard, Soucek;
Kane, DCL, Antonio

I think strength in depth is going to be important over the coming months with covid outbreaks being inevitable so happy to have the likes of Dallas & Soucek in reserve, think it's worth investing an extra million in the bench.

Yeah. I think I will go with Barnes. Feel Zaha will score against Brighton and I'll be tearing my hair out. Barnes is the sensible option.

Apart from the PVA pick (are we sure when he will be starting?) I like it, and its similar to what I'm looking at.

Big fan of the Soucek as 5th mid, as I agree that squad depth will be vital this season with the potential for Covid issues.

Thanks. I accept all criticism on PVA as it's hard to defend really. I want a Palace player coz their fixtures are great, originally I had Guaita and Zaha in, but PVA kinda covers both attack and defence. It is definitely not a smart pick though, I'm allowing myself one punt. Bench is strong and he can easily be downgraded.

---- Ryan -- Button

TAA -- Ayling -- KWP --Justin -- Ferguson

Salah -- Grealish -- Zaha -- Son -- Stephens

--- DCL -- Kane -- Jimenez


Hadn't planned on WC but KDB injury has made me move. On a -4 already after bringing in Harry. Decided to keep Ryan as Brighton's fixtures improving. Grealish & Zaha are fixture proof and hoping they can return over the next few weeks. Sonny I've had since the start and he saved my bacon during the last Gameweek. DCL in purely as a blocker and can easily do Kane to Aguero if need be in a few weeks.

For these changes I will be shipping out KDB, Reed, Podence, C Taylor, Brewster and Ings. Thoughts?

Benimar

Ok, tear this apart:

Martinez, Steer
Robertson, Chilwell, Saiss, KWP, Mitchell
Salah, Son, Pulisic, Grealish, Trossard
Kane, DCL, Brewster.

Alternatively Saiss to Coady gives me TAA rather than Robbo

extra gravy

Is Brewster likely to start

Team looks good - but things change quickly in this game,
Will Pullisic start and have the same form as end of last season?
Do you have Brewster because he's an enabler, or because he might get game time - and if he does - that' going to be annoying each week in terms of benching.

But based on current from and other options it's well balanced.
