Struggling to choose between Benteke or Costa to accompany Aguero and Lukaku... Benteke scored a hat-trick for Belgium but Costa is Costa.

isn't he one yellow away from an automatic ban?

If he avoids a yellow this week and gets one against united he'll serve the ban for a cup game.

That's 2 big ifs :eek:

Foster / Pickford
Shaw-Williams-Holebas / McCauley - Amat
Sterling -Sanchez- Snodgrass - Capoue / Marney
Aguero - Costa - Ibra

Any advice here?
Have 2 free transfers and maybe looking at Shaw and Williams out for Southampton & Spurs defenders. 0.1 in the bank and 10.6 to spend if I take out these 2

If your thinking long term, try to get a spurs defender in. alternatively (as an arsenal fan) you might prefer a Southampton def. No goals conceded in 5 straight games.

7 games without conceding in all competitions, but who's counting


I'm going for a Spurs defender myself (as a Southampton fan)

Don't fancy they're run of fixtures- city, CHELS, LVRPOOL, EVE in their next 6 games as well as league cup and european games to add a rotation risk to a pretty thin squad. Spurs better equipped for increased fixtures in my eyes.

Puel seems to be resting players in Europe so far but there's Inter Milan on October 20th and 3rd November that'll may see a strong team put out, then a possible resting of players before these games, and 'hangover' the following weekend.

Valdes (Pickford)
Walker, Baines, Cameron (Holebas, Amat)
Puncheon, Bolasie, Firmino, Sanchez (Capoue)
Aguero, Ibra, Deeney
0.0m in the bank....I think I will roll the transfer this week, especially now Baines looks clear to play. Next week I may finally get rid of Ibra and upgrade one of Puncheon/Bolasie.

My squad needs surgery but not sure if minor or major at this stage

Might take a gamble and bank this week I think – tempted to get rid on Valencia for VVD/Fonte but I’ve probably missed the Southampton clean sheet streak at this stage.

Will hold on to Lallana as well – a 4-3-3 might be on the cards this weekend.

Anyway, would be interested to hear what Valencia owners are doing, cheers cm

Foster

Valencia Verthongen Baines

Mane Lallana Eriksen Walcott

Benteke Lukaku Agueroooo

Jakupovic Capoue A.Smith Amat (0.4m ITB)

Also thinking of holding BUT I don't have vertonghen and am tempted to swap him out for either Baines or Valencia

Have 2FT but relatively happy with my team. Think I will bank again, 3FTs in GW9 would be a nice mini wildcard...

As you're a regular I'm gonna take this as a joke

Kone not 100% ruled out by moyes for tomorrow ???????? Didn't even know he was a doubt
Useless

Jeez Kev, you'd think by now you'd know how the rules work. You don't get 3 FTs you silly goose.

Obviously if you roll over again you get a 2nd Triple Captain option for the same week.

Any love for Arnie this week? Scored 2 in the international break and a lovely fixture list coming up.....
Sunderland (H)
Hull (A)
Swansea (H)
West Ham (A)
Bournemouth (H)
Watford (A)
Burnley (H)

Might just do Valencia to an Arsenal defender and leave it at that. Tempted to go with Mustafi rather than Kos. Like Kos, he's usually good for a goal or two.

OK Zlatan you can stay. Mirallas to Puncheon. 2FT available next week again.

Worth a -4 to replace with Collins with VVD/Fonte?

Yes. VVD.

Think I may go for vertonghen
Now who to sell
Baines or Valencia
