I'd be very surprised if Walker is dropped. He looks to be nailed on in the league

Be good for him to have to look over his shoulder though - he's given away at least 1 stupid penalty this year or not more.

*Caution: Cancelo is generally a right back. In the post match conference Pep specifically mentioned leaving Cancelo on to find rhythm. Cancelo was playing right back midweek.

This would imply to me he wants Cancelo to get more game time in his favoured position.

Mendy scored last week & he said he’ll be playing scorers

I’ve a feeling Cancelo will be RB and Mendy LB the weekend. Walker will come out.

I’d be going with Dias as the safest option

I predict Walker will play but this is still good analysis, food for thought, it's never as nailed as you think with Pep. He loves overthinking things, you never know what's going through his head. Maybe he sees a weakness of the Fulham left-full on the inside so fancies Cancelo's two-footedness to cause problems there, maybe he wants to be unpredictable so goes with a back 5 with Walker as a right-centre back and Cancelo as a RWB.

I still think that the 90 minutes in Cancelo's leg and the fact Walker has started every game strongly suggests that Walker will start, but no one can really be surprised if Pep's lineup isn't as expected on Saturday

Really set up for a disappointment this weekend. Have 3 Villa players, a non-playing sub, Robbo limping, Cancelo and Torres at big risk of rotation. My squad has lovely fixtures for the weekend but could end up with 6 players

It’s exactly how I am. 3 Villa, few bench fodders & few rotation risks.

Looking for a bit of help on a defensive issue please folks.

Defence now is Lamptey, Chilwell, Konsa (won't play), Struijk (won't play) and KWP. Need 1 defender to replace Konsa (4.6) or Struijk (4.0) to make 11 this week with the Villa/Newcastle game off.

I'm looking for a defender (5.0 or less) that has a decent chance of a CS this week and will play 90+% of games going forward, essentially nailed.

I've 0.9 ITB, rather keep all or the majority for my Salah in fund next GW.

Given the week in it, I'm leaning towards Konsa (4.6) out and Justin in (4.9) and will still have 0.6 ITB. (Although afraid Justin is a transfer out waiting to happen?)

Was looking at Bartley (4.4) at WBA but already own Johnstone so dbl WBA would be madness tbh.

Dallas a shout at Leeds but most likely will get a 2 pointer or worse this week.

Any recommendations to solve my conundrum?

Moutinho has pretty much said Kane will be ok. You need some City cover, so if you’re happy with Mahrez then Son out is the obvious one.
I’d doubt Ings will start or maybe play at all this GW, he’ll be eased back cause he’s made of glass. So personally I’d downgrade him, that would allow you get KDB or Sterling
Or you could take a -4 to get a playing defender in place of Kilman

I haven't *quite* got the stomach to get rid of Son yet, but I do think it's time to do something about Ings. There's nobody obvious leaping out at me for 8.3 or under though.

I thinks the CS this week is tough given the options left.

Charlie Taylor from Burnley looking the best option for you? 4.4M

Alternatively the only other thoughts I have are

Dier 4.9
Godfrey 5.0

Since you've held Ings this long, hold.
He'll should make an appearance this w/e and back in 1st team next week.

You haven’t mentioned your formation.

I’m having to guess you’re playing 4 at the back otherwise you’d just be playing - Chilwell, Lamptey and KWP as your 3 for this GW ?

If you’re playing 3 at the back then every week it must be Chilwell, Lamptey and one other. Surely that would be KWP most weeks ?

Clean sheets don’t always come from expected sources. That’s why we love our big scores from our GK’s unexpected clean sheets. If I had the choice I wouldn’t have started Meslier against Arsenal and Everton recently yet I got 2 x clean sheets.

Some teams have to open up against ‘lesser’ opponents and concede. Yet they close up against better opponents and get cleans sheets. There can be a randomness to it.

In your position I’d play the 3 I mentioned but only if you want to keep Konsa going forward.

Lewis of Newcastle is a good shout but no game this GW.

Dallas would be a good shout too but they play Chelsea before a good run.

Justin will be gone very soon as Pereira is back playing now.

So that leaves Palace and Scott Dann with a good fixture this GW.

You’re left with downgrading Konsa to Dann and banking 0.2m. Then using Dann if KWP ever has a real stinker like M City or LFC or Chelsea.

I think Lamptey has to start every game for you as he can assist or score in any game. He’s worth it. Same for Chilwell.

If you are going to sell Konsa then have a quick look at who other teams are playing when KWP has a tough fixture and look to have them on your bench.

If you’re playing 3 at the back then you’ve nothing to do, with your defence, this GW.

Edit - sorry. Just read the bit about the Villa game being off in your question.

Think he is a good swap for Strujk as fills a spot this week & he gets to keep Konsa. I’d expect his other 4 will play week in week out so has cover should Philips not feature

Thanks to everyone for their response lads much appreciated.

Taylor at Burnley I looked at and has been decent form bar the City form. On the watch list. Everton could struggle the weekend (sorry Shano)

Cheers Chesty, not overly confident he'll start and will most likely take a Liverpool spot in case I triple up, unlikely but maybe.

Good to know, definitely one I might transfer in.

Cheers Klopp, yes I'll be 4-4-2 this week but normal weeks I'm 3-4-3 so this week is really just a stop gap with Struijk and Konsa both not playing.

Chilwell and Lamptey start and I rotate KWP & Konsa. I like the Scott Dann option and might even get rid of Struijk for him (even if it'll cost me 0.4) , won't ever start really but grand for a couple points when we have the inevitable rotation over the next couple GW's.

Thanks all.

Who to captain this week? Bruno or salah ?

I would go Salah if I had him.

Still planning on KDB but had a wild thought to get mahrez for grealish for this week, then Salah for mahrez next week before hitting for kdb the week after.... It's a trap isn't it?

ItsChecoTime

Is Kane to Gabriel Jesus worth considering for a hit? I think Kane will start but main concern is no City cover. Jesus was seemingly rested midweek and has played 90 in last 3 PL games

Just been doing some research on kane and arsenal games. Last two or three games low scoring. Also, mourinho now to sit deeper. All points to Kane out. Bamford for his lack of finishing, has so many shots something has to come off. Lampard could come unstuck against Leeds. Despite beating bielsa in the championship I always remember those derby games being high scoring and crazy.

Mahrez anyone?

Is he your second or third striker?
Maybe Podence for Romeu and Welbeck for Tammy if you want to take a chance.

I have Vardy & DCL - I have now looked at che adam for tammy and Mahrez for Grealish and captain him.

Morzadec

This has been a much harder week than usual to choose transfers. Not just for this week but for the implications for next week too. At least captain was easy!

Have considered various options, but it's usually coming back to a 4 point hit of:

Steer > McCarthy
Cancelo > James
Richarlison > Jesus

I could leave out the Cancelo change and hope he starts - if he didn't Brewster would come in. But I just don't think he will start and James is a good one to get in long term. If Brewster plays his customary 20 minutes then it already feels more like a 3 point hit. I think there's a good chance of a cleansheet to hopefully cover the cost.

McCarthy likewise is one I can see as long term. Didn't plan to rotate keepers and arguably too much funds now spent there with the Martinez double up, but I think they rotate nicely for a while and McCarthy has shown he can keep cleansheets in more predictable games.

Jesus is in as I'm not comfortable with only KDB in that Fulham match. I could've gone Mahrez in for Grealish or Ziyech, but I prefer to take out Richarlison now as I have him and DCL - he's not really performing and Everton's fixtures change. Too much funds tied up in Grealish who I want long term. I fancy Ziyech over Richarlison for this week and beyond. Mahrez for Grealish is probably the play for this week only but think long term it would hamstring me.

I'm okay taking a 4 point hit given the circumstances and that 2 out of the 3 changes should hopefully be long term.

Leaves a longer road to get Salah back in for Fulham away if I want to is the only downside, I was considering changes that give me the funds to do that in one move.

This season is becoming a real headwreck....will stick at it but enjoying it less with every passing week tbh.

Looking at a hit for Grealish and Kane out to KDB and Bamford.

Looking at the exact same move.

Although I am considering grealish to mahrez but I know that will make the next two weeks one huge cluster**** trying to get in Salah and kdb...

At least with the kdb move it's easy to switch to Salah when it goes wrong...

Proposed team for the weekend will look like this but I have one question on who to start in defence:
McCarthy
Chilwell, kwp/cresswell/Lamptey
Kdb, Bruno, Jota, Ziyech
DCL, vardy, bamford

Obviously not dropping a mid. Other players are kilman and Bissouma.

Which two would you start of kwp/cresswell/Lamptey
Leaning towards dropping cresswell.

Tusky

Thoughts? Have 2 free transfers and 0.3 in the bank. Would like to get rid of Jorginho and get a City player in but tricky to figure out how.

McCarthy--Martin

Robertson--Zouma--Mings--Walker-Peters--Mitchell

Salah--Grealish--Son--Jota--Jorginiho

Vardy--Wilson--Calvert-Lewin

The wonderfish

Another hit on the way as need city cover and I’m thinking Sterking...will be taking out Kane to fund and replacing with either Bamford or Wellbeck.....leaning towards Wellbeck as a big differential and need to make up ground. Anyone else considering Wellbeck??

dr.kenneth noisewater

Watkins to Bamford/Antonio/Adams/Welbeck, struggling to choose but leaning to Bamford

Tusky

Anyone going freehit? What team would yea pick?
