Much chance of the weather taking games out this weekend? Thinking of playing BB

Would it not be better to wait for a double gameweek ?

Not much chance of games called off these days, clubs know what weather is coming and will be prepared for it in the best way.

In the past playing it in a DGW has completely skewed my transfer strategy. I end up taking hits to get 15 players. Whereas I have good fixtures for my bench this week and a strong front 8, and can then plan without the BB headache.

Go for it then.... hope it works out.

Went for Brewster to Bamford and going to bench DCL/Gundogan.

Did Johnstone to Pope. Will start Pope for the next 3 gws (Brighton, crystal palace, Fulham and west brom). Martinez will be on the bench but I’ll review the keeper situation around gw 26 with potential wildcard and bb

Matches used to be mainly cancelled for crowd safety, not an issue at the moment.

Tough one, I just got Salah for Sterling this week and thinking of swapping back!
Would people go for:
Salah & Zaha to Sterling & Grealish
Or
Salah & Robinson to Sterling & Watkins

Both are for a -4, leaning to the latter as Zaha might only miss 1 game and his fixtures are good after that

Went for the first one as I'm worried about rotation and 2 non players on the bench, also fancy both Sterling and Grealish to pick up points this weekend

Sterling is notorious for playing extremely poor at Anfield since joining Man City. Has been taken off before the 90 a good few times too as a result.

Now this could be down to a hostile Anfield reception that affected him, so that could change this weekend.

Do I need to review my team again ? I put sterling on the bench because he traditionally doesn’t do well against Liverpool.

I think grealish should do well against arsenal .

shmeee

Half thinking of not playing one of Stones and Cancelo. Probably will bench stones.

Liverpool bring it for the big games.

Would give me option to start maybe a Justin or Dallas then too.

So many will do double city defence and could help me gain some points, need to take loads of gambles to gain anyway and just enjoy FPL.

1 FT, Robbo to Lowton. Banked 2nd FT to bring in a few DGW players next week.

I've benched Sterling & Stones myself. Maybe I'm thinking too much heart over head there myself. Mane back for Liverpool too, along with Salah so I'd back Liverpool scoring which would negate Man City's CS points but someone like Cancelo could get attacking returns.

But Liverpool are not actually defending all that bad either. It's more midfield problems IMO, which in turn affects the attack. Alisson & Fabinho back this weekend too. Sterling usually performs poorly at Anfield so gonna bench him. I can't see him having a massive haul even if he does score. As I mentioned in the last thread, somehow Sterling avoids bps so even if Sterling scores, it's probably a 6 or 7 point return. It's different to if a Soucek scores and it could be 9 or 10 points.

I'm willing to risk it this week, and only this week. I need a swing of some sorts to go in my favour so gonna chance it this week.

How Soon Is Now

I've two free transfers this week so im back to my problem of last week who do I bring Grealish in for? I have Gundogan Salah Maddison Bruno and Soucek so either Gundogan or Soucek.....

Then I've decided to finally move on Robertson but not sure yet for who. I've already got Stones dunno about a second city defender considering next few games. Also have Dallas Coufal and Mitchell.

Burnley have decent fixtures and the double game week so thinking Ben Mee but he's not the sexiest option compared to Cancelo Cresswell or Digne for example.

Anyway ya im gonna be at this till deadline tomorrow ha

dr.kenneth noisewater

Anyone think its worth -4 to get Antonio/DCL in for Reid? Would be benching Gundogan then but think either could outscore him this GW

titan18

ATM I have Dias Gundogan and Justin benched which seems crazy to me.

Starting

Cancelo Lowton Cresswell

Salah Son Bruno Grealish

Wilson Antonio Bamford

I'm not sure Gundogan has as good odds to score as the front 7 and seems a risk to do 2 City defenders against Liverpool and Justin/Lowton is pretty 50/50.

How Soon Is Now

How does Shaw in for Robertson and Grealish in for Gundogun sound?

Or should I take out Soucek instead seeing as city have double next week?

eggy81

No Liverpool players and triple city leaves me open to a significant burning this week I think. I bet Liverpool turn up Sunday. Still might get salah last minute but it invokes selling either son or Bruno to do it in one transfer. Wary of getting burn by son for the 3rd time this season if I do. Might go 3 at the back and bench Dias and gundo and hope cancelo gets an attacking return either. Difficult week to make any calls.

ElTel

Zouma out for Mee

Cancelo Mee Robertson

Benching Stones and Holding.

Shaw, yes.

And probably yes on Soucek out rather than Gundog.

Doing the same.

Cancelo Robertson Mee (Stones Bednarek)

Cartman78

Brewster and Mitchell out for Lowton and Bamford for a probably unnecessary hit.....will start them both this GW, Bamford is a fun player to own in fairness

I've benched Stones and Gundogan now. Just can't see them getting returns.

I've done the same. I don't love it. I also have Son captain currently which I hate.

How Soon Is Now

City Liverpool games are usually tight enough so I don't know if Gundogan is gonna get much from the game. Well at least I hope not now as I've sold him ha.

Salah I really wanted to get rid of but just can't risk it.

Rikand

Currently doing

Martinez (Meslier)
Cancelo Lowton Dallas (Dias, Justin)
Salah Soucek Grealish Maddison Bruno(c)
Bamford Antonio (DCL)


terrified I'm going to leave points on the bench

PARlance

On paper I'm not sure a city defender should be benched... Liverpool have failed to score in 4 of their last 6. I'm hovering over transferring Salah out for Son.

Shanee.

Liverpool have players coming back and will be much better prepared. Spurs have been brutal since Christmas and with Kane out personally I wouldnt be making that transfer

markc91

Currently starting

Pope
Cancelo Coufal Robbo
Bruno Son (c) Gundogan Grealish Soucek
Cavani Bamford

Bench is DCL,Dias & Ogbonna

Thinking of banking this week.

Any changes i should make?

On the promise to myself that I was going to start listening to parlance more often, dias is back in

Early days in the villa game but going the first option may not have been the right choice

Yeah am a Grealish owner at the moment but will be going Watkins on WC

You going both on wildcard or just Watkins?

Depends on the form when I pull it (and games played). Not much in form midfield.

Ideally it'll be Watkins and Targett only. Wouldn't be adverse to 3 though. Villa are 1 of the few teams in the league I like watching

Even I know that's a bad move

IrishLad90

Done Grealish captain, changed from Bruno.
Utd fan so dropped points

IrishLad90

And cavani on bench as first sub
