It would be interesting to hear some thoughts on why though. All I got is that Rashford, Martial and Greenwood are fecking fast!

I saw Brian Kerr talking about the topic in the break in last nights game where there was another penalty given to Man Utd and he made a good point about their aim to spend a good proportion of every game in the attacking third of the pitch. Who ever it is that gets fouled it is part of their game plan to have players frequently attacking in the opposition penalty area and this just means the opposition defenders have more opportunity in a game to give away a penalty by fowling a Man Utd player. I think I will bring in Fernandes for Havertz next week and did this weeks transfers with leaving enough funds for this move in mind.

I'm not sure why we're even discussing this, because he does take penalties, but his form since coming to United of 18 games, 6 goals and 10 assists, double that for a full season and he's a 12 goals and 20 assists man.

So to remove penalties and put that on a scale:
12.5 - KDB - 11 goals; 23 assists
10.5 - Bruno - 12 goals; 20 assists
9.0 - Son - 11 goals; 13 assists

And THEN you add on the 5-10 penalties he'll get for United.

Now I'm questioning why I have KDB and Son

You're assuming his 18 games consistency will be the equivalent for a full season and have no drop off. KDB and Son are known reliables.

The simple facts are as follows:

Son 9.0 6 games - 58 points
Bruno 10.5 5 games - 31 points
KDB 11.5 3 games - 17 points

505_

Bruno has scored well considering Utd did not start great. They did look good last night however.

I'm considering Trent & James Rodriguez to Bruno and a <5.0 defender. Any thoughts on that? I have DCL for Everton cover. Getting rid of Trent before Sheffield Utd at home a risk but he's not getting attacking returns and VVD a big loss.

As has been stated already, you can’t extrapolate Fernandes’ figures over a full season like that.

Who knows how he’ll do over a full season as form comes into play.

Is that for a hit or two free transfers? Is there any other midfielders you could sacrifice?

I’ll be in a similar position next week.. considering Robbo and pulisic to Bruno and a 5.5 def when I have 2 free transfers.

Two free transfers. Other mids are Salah, Son, Grealish and Soucek. So I could only really do Grealish instead but want to keep him for what looks like a good run of fixtures.

Robbo is a tougher choice to get rid when he's been getting attacking returns. I'm fairly set on Bruno though I think. Watched him against Newcastle wasn't playing well and he still had a goal, assist and had another goal ruled out for an offside.

It’s a two week punt. If he’d scored the penalty last weekend would you be happy enough with how he’s done for you?

I need cash to fund one of Werner, Kane or Son. I figure I’m ditching Ings for Antonio anyway, just do it a bit earlier

Would you consider Watkins instead. I would be like Dr. Fulham are just terrible, whereas Villa are flying.

Well then divide the Son/KDB figures in half if you’re anti-extrapolating, the point is since he’s come to the league, his non-penalty performance has been at prime KDB level.

You’re right, if he’d the track record and done that for 3 years he’d be 12m.

I have the same midfield except pulisic for Soucek. Makes my decision (Bruno for pulisic) easy as pulisic was abit of a panic buy on wildcard and don’t really want him with frank playing him on the right!! Also don’t want to sell grealish or hamez anytime soon.

As bad as Trents form has been he probably has the best fixture possible from a clean sheet perspective. You have a tricky decision.

Anyone looking at Lookman?

I've had Klich doing nada in my team for a few weeks so half thinking of giving Lookman a lash and save myself 0.6m.

I could go to Mahrez or Foden as well but not sure

He looked to be a very good player in the clips on Match of the Day last weekend but then Fulham are not very good so I went for March as the cheap player to allow me bring in Kane this week. McGinn also looks to be in good form but then I would have been priced out of Haverz to Fernandes next week if Fernandes goes up in price. Don't fancy Newcastle to do much in their next couple of games but Saint-Maximin is now down to 5.3mill so I will be considering upgrading March to him in the next few weeks if I have the spare .3mill.

Correct, definitely if you’ve any value built up

Think a -4 for me this week...

Reece James/Podence out
Konsa/James Rodriguez in

Plan B would be to keep Podence and get Chilwell instead for Reece James.

Thankfully have been patient on this, think I’ll still get Konsa, builds up a little ear chest to get KDB or James Rodrigues next week.

Might be a message from the gods with a Podence haul next against Newcastle

Morzadec

£1.0 ITB

Holding out for either:

- Reguilon
- Semedo
- Lamptey
- Targett/Konsa

Reguilon seems the pick for the next 3. Really juicy fixtures and i do think `spurs have a couple of cleanies in them.

That would probably mean almost certainly committing to a WC on GW9 though as I'd have 3 Spurs and their fixtures turn. Also already have TAA and Robbo so a lot of money tied up in defence.

Lamptey seems a nice pick for a great fixture this week and also cheap/good enough to own long term. Leaning towards Lamptey

Isn't it for situations like this - that we are suppose to have a bench right?

The Spurs to City move in GW9/10 is fairly juicy

Next 3 Spurs have a lovely run while city have tough games:
Spurs V bur, BRI, wha
City V whu shu LIV

They then play each other (at Spurs) and the fixtures turn out of that the next 6:
Spurs V che ARS cry liv LEI wol

Mr.Prodston

I'm thinking Mason Greenwood...

Probably gonna wildcard next week or the week after, to tidy everything up!

Or any standout midfielder for 7.6 I'm missing?

Rumours of Greenwood being late to training and píssing OGS off, don't think a whole lot about it but hasn't been in the matchday squad for 2 games now. v Newcastle or PSG.

He won't start v Chelsea and might get 15/20 if in the squad.

Zaha or Grealish be a better 1 week punt if WC'ing next week.

Oooooor he makes a dramatic return against Frankie's Chelsea? Especially after the timing of that article?

If Martial wasn't suspended then I'd see him as bench at best. But if Newcastle and PSG were punishment then he's maybe due back!

This is definitely a Prodston Punt vibes situation rather than anything concrete I'll admit :pac:

Otherwise I play Soucek against City and enjoy that mayhem...

Gus Ivey

Fancied a bit of a gamble bringing in two differentials

Podence/Mitro to Barkley/Maupay. Villa and Brighton have favorable fixtures so hopefully it pays dividends.

Yours and Dr KNs advice is probably right but this is one time where I’m doing what I always give out about here.

Someone comes on asking a question but only wants positive reinforcement!

That’s me this week, I’m that guy

Ings -> Mitro it is


Really hope he drop tonite, don’t want to be worrying about him dropping next week

Do you mean McGoldrick(Didsy)? I'd say McBurnie will be the one to drop out as he's useless.

Brought in Calvert Lewin for Mitrovic. Anyone have any insight as to whether Vardy is expected to play this weekend?

eh i dunno

extra gravy

Never thought I'd want 3 Villa players in my team when I wildcarded and I hamstrung myself a bit by going Steer with Martínez. Would like to add Konsa for a defensive double up, think he's the best 4.5 option at the moment and then Grealish but just going to have to settle for Grealish I think.

Cartman78

Klich bait.

Have 3.5M in the bank and one FT.

Have no City of Chelsea cover at the moment.

Any thoughts on Havertz, Mahrez, Foden or Pulisic??

Leaning towards Havertz because Pep.

ThewhiteJesus

i have havertz i really think once chelsea click he will be like lampard of old.
I took the hit to get hamez out for grealish, i only got hamez recently so no biggie i'll get him back when fit.
I'm leading my league but have others breathing down my neck so can't afford passengers

No I meant ings, someone swapping him out for mitrivic, would have thought dingsy has proven his worth so far, though having looked again it appears Werner is is only .8 more expensive

dr.kenneth noisewater

Still undecided on who to get in for VVD, have 1.5 itb so probably Robertson

chases0102

Lads, Auba - what's the verdict? Do I turf him out?

Again, I feel like he has to start getting points soon...but can I keep carrying him?!?!

So you added 3 letters, to an already short name, to use a nickname that nobody else knows.

Rather than just saying "Ings"

Arsenal seem to have sacrificed a lot of their attacking threat in an attempt to solidify their defence, that combined with the fact he has never been really explosive and more steady I don't think his current price is value. GW 8 to 13 do look tasty for Arsenal though, but for now its a no.

Havertz looks to be a great player but I'm still not sure Frank will get all his star attackers into an efficient team. Pulisic to me looked like he could be the best player at the club at the end of last season so out of those four he would be my first choice. Likely just going to give Haverz one more game myself as I think Fernandes of Man Utd could be worth the extra 2.1mill. On penalties and contender to be the top of the bonus points in a lot of games make him another viable captain option which I would say Havertz would not be at the moment. If he gets a man of the match performance this weekend I'll probably change my mind.:pac:

To be fair, dropping a hint at an Ings injury (of all players!) without it being a reply to anything and without it being fully clear who you're actually talking about could easily make people panic close to a gameweek deadline.
