I'm rotating Karius with Pickford... gives you the following fixtures until 31 Jan when you'll probably make changes on the wildcard. Also assumes Pickford doesn't get dropped before 31Jan.

K - WEST BROM
P - ARSENAL or K- palace
K - WATFORD
P - HULL
K - SUN
P - LEICESTER
K - WEST HAM
P - CHELSEA or K- boro
P - WATFORD
K - STOKE
P - burnley
P - LIVERPOOL // K - sun
P - STOKE
K - SWANSEA
K - CHELSEA

Except for the 2 weeks with Chelsea and the Arsenal fixture next week I'd view the fixtures as pretty soft. I'll probably go with Karius away to Palace over the Arsenal fixture as I've double Arsenal attack now anyway. For one of the Chelsea fixtures you can have Karius away to Boro which is probably a more likely clean sheet too. He's definitely worth a look if Pickford is your other keeper IMO.

Pickford is indeed my other keeper which is also an attraction.

I'd probably be playing Karius most of the for now given Sunderlands shambolic form.

My other thinking is that moving Foster paves the way to get Brunt into the defence instead in due course.

Ditching Antonio before Sunderland at home seems stupid, but it's the only way for me to get Walcott in.

Antonio played his most recent game at Right Back - so if he's moved to defense and not getting forward as often, it should be the right move

Really need ideas on who to trade in for Ibra. Was looking at Llorente but seems to be injured. Thinking then of trading other someone else and waiting for Llorente to be fit?

Don't want Lukaku.

Thinking Wilson but would rather a differential.

Also when I go to sell Capoue it says value of 5.3M yet I only get 4.9 in bank? Can someone briefly explain? I've had him weeks!

If you got him for 4.5 you only get half of the profit when you sell. So because he went up .8 you only get .4

Rikand · 18-10-2016 11:02AM

Brought in Joe Allen last night, so anyone with him, prepare for him to -3

Think I might AOA - my front 8 with the exception of Benteke have good fixtures for this coming GW

Heaton (EVE)
Kos (MID) Lovren (WBA)
Allen (hul) Snodgrass (STK) Coutinho (WBA) Antonio (SUN) Sanchez (MID)
Aguero (SOU) Diomande (STK) Benteke (lei)

2nd Row Donkey · 18-10-2016 11:18AM

Anyone still got DDG as a single playing keeper.

I was all set to get rid but the cs last night has given me 2nd thoughts.

I've got my 8 point haul from him last night.

Heaton got 5 points despite conceding 3 goals. It depends whether you're happy to spend 5.5 on a gk rather than have a cheapie and use the extra million to improve the rest of your team.

Hard to look past Costa.

Already have Costa Mate.

Sanchez-Capoue-Snodgrass-Chadli-Hojb
Costa-Aguero-Ibra

Hard to decide whether to get Payet or Mane out for Walcott. Both have great home fixtures next. My gut is to go with Mane as he is consistently underperforming despite the 'promise'.
I'm half hoping for a midweek injury to make decision easier.

Intend to get Austin in for Stuani (why do I have him???) with the other FT so I need to free up funds.

dsmythy · 18-10-2016 02:30PM

Was thinking about Allen but he's got a touch of the Capoues about him regarding recent shots magicking their way in but doing little else.

Payet home to the worst team in the league, if you were ever to have him, it's for that game.Do you plan on starting Austin? Away to City then home to Chelsea with Europa league wedged between. How about Deeney, away to Swansea then home to Hull or go for a punt on Bone.

Scorpion Sting · 18-10-2016 03:30PM

0.1 short of going Antonio and Rashford out for Walcott and Austin for a hit, annoying.

Did the same.Also swapped out Sterling for Theo.
Midfield of Sanchez,Allen,Milner and Walcott now.After a 20 point haul this week,something needed to be shaken up.

Don't forget the january WC is now gone. It's a second half of the season WC.

Now, "your" rotation looks great... on paper.

Interesting, did not know that about the WC at all! That's better IMO, having to use it in January was a pain.

Why? He has Sunderland H and is playing in an advanced position.

I read the fixtures incorrectly, thought Payet was playing Everton next gameweek.... Payet stays.

Would like to get Kone out but wasn't going to play him anyway. Tempted by Sterling > Milner/Lallana/Coutinho given pools fixtures

Shanotheslayer · 18-10-2016 07:06PM

Really thinking of going with:

Ibra - Llorente
Capoue - Lallana.

And take a -4.

Any word on severe Llorente injury is? I see he's 50% but would be happy to bench him if meant he'd be back following week.

Yeah I agree with you ref Payet which is why I am veering towards Mane.
With Austin I am thinking long term too and it's not as if city don't concede.

I should have just made the same transfers last weekend as I had planned instead of rolloing the 2nd free transfer and getting in zabaleta for shaw instead

Don't see the attraction of Llorente? For .3 more you can get Austin who's proven in PL or Wilson who's on form and has good fixtures. If you want Swans attacking cover then Siggy is the best option imo.

could have had a hat trick at weekend

Alli is definitely going to score today. Having a storming first half hour

Liverpool goalkeepers mig and karius have only 13 saves between them in the 8 gws. After a quick look it seems only courtoius has made less saves 11. You won't be getting many save points off karius . They also have that annoying habit of conceding 1 goal a game despite giving up so few chances.

Hmmm, interesting stat. Suggests they are due a heap of clean sheets. Defenders could be the option. Pithy only Clyne seems guaranteed

Both Lovren and Matip are nailed on. Lovren is only 4.9 too.

Necronomicon · 18-10-2016 08:35PM

I can bring in Walcott for Antonio but only if I do Capoue to a 4.3. I know it's probably not a good idea, but I'm having difficulty talking myself out of it...

I'd have no issue selling Capoue to a PLAYING 4.3 if one exists ?????? How much is Darren Fletcher for example
I kno carrick is 4.3 but he won't play

Coquelin is the closest 4.3 to a starter, but wouldn't want to take up my third Arsenal spot with bench fodder. I don't think the 4.3 is a runner, alas.

If I want Walcott I can spend up to 4.6 I think but was still considering a 4.3m guy especially if you have a playing fifth def. like Amat say. I think it's a good move.

Just do Kightly, as long as you have a decent 4th defender you'll be fine until Christmas rotation

Yeah, was just gonna say that if they are conceding few chances maybe with the upcoming fixtures clean sheets may not be far away.

Alternatively with Baines now looking unreliable fitness wise I may go for Lovren and Lloris in a defensive shake up.
