    9 if Phillips starts

    8 if not

    Already on -4 not taking another hit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,421 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Have taken -4 to field 9. Will take another to cash in on value gained if PvA looks likely to drop


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    currently have 9 including 2 GK(Foster/Heaton) and Phillips. So will prob have 9 starting after my FT


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    11 with a -4


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    I'll be 9 with a -8.

    10 including Holgate
    Took a -12 to get there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 411 ✭✭Delboy2015


    10 with a -8 took


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,346 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    10 or 11 with one change, they kinda fell into my lap, no planning really made. Will be Wildcarding after thou, have 2 x West Brom and 2 x Burnley and 2 x Swansea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,301 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Playing Indoor 7 a side this week.

    Randolph in nets and playing a tactical 1-3-2.

    It's a 'we'll score more than you' weekend

    Was looking into taking a hit but reckon the -4/-8 wouldn't be worth it


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    7 if Phillips starts. Took a -4 hit last week that didn't pay off as much as I'd hoped for, and having already made my one sub I'm not sure I want to take a hit again this week.

    If Phillips starts, I'll be on 9 with using 1FT. I'm not taking a -4 if I can decide on something else sensible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    11 with one hit, if Amat and Phillips play


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Have 6 including Phillips and FT.
    2 defenders and 4 mids.
    Very likely to take a hit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    8 including Phillips
    But will probably sell aguero or a defender to make 9 for a -4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,787 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Currently 7, with one FT to make. Can't see myself taking a hit to take out Alonso, Eriksen, Pedro, Kane or Aguero, so will roll with 8


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    8 so far including Kingsley. So want to get rid, but no one in his price range, that I can see playing this GW, other than Mawson. So might just let it ride for the extra transfer for the next GW, and up grade by downgrading else where.

    :D

    Yea looking at -12 for 10 players. It's as good a week as any to take hits and get rid of some duds in my team.

    i'm in the same boat, even 10 second of Holgate on the pitch will be a success.

    Philips will start if fit, Amat definitely won't so not really worth counting IMO.

    10 myself incl Philips with a -4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    8 with an unconventional 1-1-4-2 formation.

    Toyed with the idea of a -4 to make it 9 but don't think its worth it really in what will already be a low scoring week.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,288 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    11 but 3 are flagged. Heaton, Reid & Philips
    No hits!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,654 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    On WC so 11;bench is heavy


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Mike Ehrmantraut


    8 including Philips, on a -4.

    Playing a 1-2-3-2 formation and doubt I'll take anymore hits unless Philips is ruled out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Aenaes


    9 including Amat and Francis so more likely it will be 7. I took a -4 to bring in Lukaku and King.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    11 with -8 assuming all available start


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭tailgunner


    Took a -4 to bring me up to 9, assuming Heaton plays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,543 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    I'll be 11 after a -4, I'm among the many who will be relying on Phillips starting though to make that 11.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    If Heaton is fit I will have 8
    Took a minus 4 to get there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,596 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    I'll have 10 if Philips is fit, 11 if Amat makes a cameo, problem is that I'll potentially have 3 WBA players away to Everton, I don't see them returning more than 6 points between them

    11, took a -8.

    Couldn't work out which Liverpool mid to get so get em all!

    Firmino, mane & coutinho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,826 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    With only 4 games I can't understand why people are taking -8 and -12, a -4 to field 9 should cover this gameweek imo.

    If you want the players your getting in for the next few weeks or you have deadwood to get rid off there is no better time to do it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81

    Yea I'll be ditching Zlatan, Stanislas and Phillips if he's injured and bringing in Mane, Siggurdson/King and llorente who are all in great form. I'll probably captain Mane his home form is brilliant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭pimpmyhat


    If phillips plays ill have 11


    Jaku


    coleman brunt mawson

    siggy mane coutinho king phillips

    lukaku(c) carroll

    2 transfers -4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,421 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Gone for 10 players

    Heaton/Randolph
    Ollson - McAuley - Coleman
    Mane - Siggy - Brady - Fletcher
    Lukaku - Barnes

    Its a pretty good team IMO

    -8

    Pieters has a blank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    8 (9 if Holgate starts). 4 points hit taken, will leave it at that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,421 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Pieters has a blank.

    Ty

    That's mcauley , not pieters .

    Edited now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,714 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Will have 11 plus the luxury of 2 subs (!)...no hits but I've obviously lost a gazillion points overplanning for GW 27 & 28 :-(

    I could do with a monster score to put some smidgen of respectability on this car crash of a season but probably not a week for big scores either way.....

    Heaton

    Brunt Coleman Smith

    Grosicki Antonio Mané Siggy Barkley

    Lukaku Carroll

    Subs: Foster Amat Azpi Aguerooooo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo


    Jaku or Foster

    Coleman/Baines/Robertson

    Antonio/Siggy/Firmino/Phillips

    Carroll/Lukaku/Llorente

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,826 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Heaton
    Baines Coleman
    Mane Siggy Carroll Firmino
    Lukakau

    -4 taken and not keen on another but maybe I will bow to getting a defender in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    On a -4 atm with 7 players. Is it worth taking a -8 to get rid of Philips and field a total of 8 players


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,596 ✭✭✭✭siblers

    WBA have tough fixtures coming up so you'll probably need to sell him at some stage anyway, if there is a player who has a game this weekend and who you want to play for the following gw (at least), then it's worth doing it.

    If you plan on bringing in someone for Philips and then selling that player the following gw, then I wouldn't bother doing it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 113 ✭✭First Explorer


    8, 1 keeper, 1 def, 5 mid, 1 forward.
    5 mid depends on phillips playing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭SkySter


    10 now assuming Phillips is starting. Took a -8 but happy with it. As a few have said this is the week to lose the deadwood.

    Foster
    Coleman, Lovren, Fernandez
    Mane, Firmino, Phillips, Siggy
    Loriente, Lukaku


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Phillips is ruled out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,347 ✭✭✭Rackstar


    Any point in wildcarding?

    Have 7 players after using FT

    No it's a bad idea. This isn't an obvious candidate to be a high scoring week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    A minus 4 really isn't worth it.

    If you pick a striker who scores it's still only 5 points....profit of 1...chances of not scoring are higher than scoring.

    Which is why you need to play it tactically and only make transfers that you should make a profit on in the weeks to come also. Which is doable making a couple of transfers, but probably won't stretch as far as teams who only have 5 or 6 players playing this week because you'll have to cast the net out a bit further than the waters where the tastiest fish swim.
