Still cant decide who to replace Barnes with, I already have Raphina, Gundog. KdB, Bruno
-Lingard (cant play v Utd but could bench him, otherwise he is on the form of his life)
-Jota, should get minutes but probably lacking match fitness for 2 or 3 games
-Grealish, injured but some chance he might return this weekend
-Mount, bit of wildcard but is on good form and seems to be favoured by Tuchel with 7 starts from his 8 games in charge

Any thoughts?

First thought before I read your options was Lingard - great form.

El Ghazi could be decent shout if he plays. I don't really know the ins/outs of the villa team but usually returns when gets a run in the team.

Siggy could also be decent option - risk he won't start - but he's had some good returns lately and might have a double

Neves has a bit of form as well but Wolves are hit and miss.

But yea it's slim pickings - Mount, Lingard but you have to bench against Utd, Foden maybe - but huge rotation risk.

I bit the bullet got Bale and Pereira in for Fernandes and Lowton - 4.

Not sure on it now was going to go Son. Instead went for the hipster option for the fun of it. Could Bale destroy Palace if he gets 60 plus minutes? Will Bale even start? He might not!

Obviously means a Son 17 pointer or something.

Will hold Barnes this week to see how Grealish gets on before getting him back in for GW29. Thinking Mendy to Forestor to free up funds but it would leave me a dilemma to start Forestor or Martinez then

Yeah Lingards fixture v Leeds definitely looks attractive right about now as long as players can suck up benching him v United. The flip side to that is that he plays in blank GW29

Owned Foden before and it was frustrating to see Pep bench him a game after he hauled big time. With el Ghazi I think someone said his minutes depend on Ross Barkleys availability. Hadnt even thought of Siggy but his potential DGW is attractive though he blanks in 29.

I think Grealish is my favoured option if positive injury news was to come today but its hard to know what game Dean Smith is playing. Also a close rival sold Grealish so Im keen to get on him before he gets him back in.

Doesn't sound good - "Jack Grealish is doing better. He’s unlikely to play. I’ve not sat down with the medical staff yet but he was on the AlterG running yesterday. He looks pain free now, so once I sit down with the medical staff we’ll decide what he’s doing today."
That was from Smith today.

Reckon Smith won't be too obliging with info if he is near to being back.

yeah thats the fear, Smith will be playing his card close to his chest especially after those leaks and what looks like a false leak about Watkins being out last weekend when he actually played. Will have a look for the Villa presser later but doubting we are going to learn anything.

Part of me wants to go with Mount as you get the feeling Chelsea are now very much on an end of season charge and he's had 2 goals and an assist in his last 3 games. Chelsea also keeping clean sheets to beat the band, they've only conceeded twice in 8 games since Tuchel took over. Chelseas fixtures look good too for the next while, of their next 7 games 5 are against bottom half clubs.

I've personally going to hold onto and bench Barnes this week and I'm hoping we'll hear early next week whether the Everton Villa match will be fixed for GW28 and then make a decision. Hopefully he wont lose too much value before then. I'm actually surprised he hasn't dropped yet this week.

Why sell Ricky? In form and potential DGW in 28

Brought him in for the 3 games, scored a goal in each, now he's done. Kane train beginning this GW.

Lingard in for Barnes and bb activated.

I think the Watkins stuff was genuine nonsense, for what its worth. FPL injurie leaks the topic of the month, so there was inevitably gonna be a few people trying to make themselves internet notable. It was the same during the peak of the pre-deadline team leaks.

If someone had told me at the start of the season that the night before GW27 I’d be seriously contemplating transferring in Jesse Lingard.......

Or ditching Salah before a home game against Fulham!

I’m not that mad!

(Although as a Liverpool fan, I do wonder if they will ever score again!)

How Soon Is Now · 05-03-2021 8:09pm

Not sure what to do at the moment, to be honest!

Need to get rid of Barnes Mount seems like a good option but also considering Son I should of bloody got him last week when I taught about it :pac:.

Also thinking of bringing Antonio back in but im sure that would only cause him to stop scoring again ha.

Salah and Bruno, I think id rather keep Bruno and I don't know if KDB will play enough for his price the way Pep is going.

Pulled the trigger there now for him!

How Soon Is Now · 05-03-2021 8:33pm

Antonio in for Calvert Lewin or Lingard for Barnes?

Also strongly thinking of KDB now in for Salah but I dunno yet if it pays off with the way City are rotating.

NabyLadistheman · 05-03-2021 9:09pm

Think Im going to bring in Mahrez as my third City player. They have 3 league games in a week and I think he will play at least 2.

Have just enough to do Mahrez & White in for Barnes & Maguire.

Also tempted by Son in for Bruno which means I will have to play Maguire or Lowton. Will decided later. I still think Bruno could return in any of the next 3 games

Ginger n Lemon · 05-03-2021 9:10pm

Sold DCL & Salah for Kane and Lingard.

I think given that GW29, and current fixtures vs CRY & Leeds, this is the most optimal.

Wouldnt worry too much if DCL gets a DGW announced as 1 of the games he ll play against the best keeper in the league, and in the other game he ll be up against Pope. Not on penalties. Doesnt have a game in GW 29. Blanked twice just now and really had 1 shot on target I think in 2 games. not gud nuff

dsmythy · 05-03-2021 9:12pm

Lots of activity. I think I'll sit still and bank.

Yea think I'm going to do the same, bank and re-evaluate the situation after this GW.

Or that Liverpool have lost more players to injury than China has to Covid.

He's also not playing centre forward anymore.

trigger26 · 05-03-2021 10:15pm

Brought in KDB and using triple captain, raging I didn't stick with tc of Son last week, the hearts taken over!

How Soon Is Now · 05-03-2021 10:19pm

If City beat United at the weekend the league is done and dusted is it worth bringing in more city players i wonder?

Pep will really focus on the Champions league then id imagine so who knows who will play week in week out. Where gonna be running this rotation risk every game possibly.
