Right.

2 preliminary questions.

1. Who's the better pick for the run-in? Hazard or Costa?
2. Any chance Valencia plays at the week-end?

Then. What about
Lukaku + Negredo + Gibson -> Kane + Gabbiadini + Kingsley
for -8?

The hit is not important. My season's over. I've nothing left to play for bar my OR.
I can't afford many premium players and owning Aguero is no help either (but can't ditch him this week).
So Kane ahead of Lukaku for his form, Spurs form, the DGW and the race for the title. I'm just a little worried I may be too late to the party and Spurs may struggle to see the season through. I seem to remember they did last year? They struggled the other night. Maybe their defeat to Chelsea in the Cup affected them? Or am I just seeing the glass half-empty?
Gabby my 3rd forward. Cheap enough. Has 6 games in the next 4 GWs. Fixtures aren't crazy good but don't see another cheap option... unless Jesus gets guaranteed 2x60 min in the DGW.
Kingsley is just a cash enabler.

1 Hazard w/o WC
2 Play Valencia. Unlikely cameo.
3 Ordered starting squad please.

Sell Lukaku for Gabbiadini. Madness?

Depends what it allows elsewhere.

Yeah but to assess how "mad" it is, we need to know the rest of your team and how you'll use the saved cash

. It's all a matter of balance.

You're not to pushed obviously.
How many chips does the other half left?
Perhaps she has a bit left in the bank.

Holebas over Negredo and I'm a Pool fan.

Well not really. I'm benching Alvaro

The other half?

With the -8 above I had £0.1m ITB. So couldn't afford Stephens or Holgate directly.
But went for -12

. Lukaku + Negredo + Sigurdsson + Gibson -> Kane + Gabbiadini + King + Stephens
Pb with the -8 was that I was relying on Valencia playing or it was Holebas subbing in. Holebas did very good for me at times but not sure there despite 'Pool yoyo form.
So the -12 gives me Stephens to play & McAuley as a sub for Valencia. Also King instead of Siggy. Seems educated enough guesswork that could pay off to me.
Again nothing at stake for me. So if the worst happens, at least making transfers is fun

.

Courtois Pickford

PVA Holgate McCauley Barragan, Davies

Siggy Alli de Roon Sanchez Zaha

Lukaku Kane Benteke

With cash I could upgrade de Roon to Coutinho

CSF · 29-04-2017 01:33AM

Bringing Gabbiadini in right as Austin is returning doesn't sit well with me at all.

He's secure for next few games at least. Austin targeting minutes for u23s side next weekend. He'll be eased back in after that.

Not wildcarding now...
Thinking Lukaku and Siggy to Gabbiadini and Hazard/Coutinho/deBruyne
Thoughts please?

I'd go with gabby and hazard. If you're wildcarding for next gw maybe eriksen for today & switch to hazard then on WC.

29-04-2017 10:03AM

So can we start calling Gabbiadini 'the biscuit' because I just asked my partner for her weekly advice on my captain as an inclusive measure.

I gave her the 3 options and she suggested Garibaldi.

Think I'm going to go with Kane
Gabbi is tempting but it's enough to own him at this point i think

I would agree with this. captaincy is crazy.

I'm going with Kun

thewools · 29-04-2017 10:18AM

I'm thinking tadic instead of gabby? Thoughts please

domrush · 29-04-2017 10:20AM

is Blind a guaranteed starter>?

GetWithIt · 29-04-2017 10:20AM

I've got it into my head to bring in Kompany. His injury record this season suggests he has no chance of playing every game to the end of the season but if he does City may concede very few goals and he's a BP magnet.

Need to dump Sakho and have Valencia and Bellerin giving me teamsheet anxiety each week. Not sure I need another.

That's what I meant when I asked you what Lukaku -> Gabbiadini could allow elsewhere.

Like Hogey said Gabbi allowing Hazard for Siggy sounds good to me.

It's those 4 games in 36/37 I'm looking at moreso.

Very very inconsistent and takes up a valuable midfield spot
Not for me

Chesty08 · 29-04-2017 10:26AM

Valencia ----> Blind

Son

> Hazard

For a -8.

Mad but I need to bounce back

5 games in the next 3 GW.. he is their best player and cheap.. potentially on penalties. Takes a lot of set pieces. I'm trying to convince myself tbh..

James Ward prowse is cheaper again and takes more set pieces and could be your fifth mid
Gabbi for me though
Too many better options in midfield and not as many up front

WC next week and I'm losing no money on him. Should have stated he's coming straight back in

I got rid of sanchez too for hazard but will be bringing him back in when I activate wildcard after 2pm. Lost no money on him and got hazard before his rise last night which was helpful for the draft teams I was working with yesterday.

I think it's 37 he could come under pressure. But if he does it'll be because he's not scoring.

I'm likely to get rid of him for 37 anyway unless he's nailing it.

You're in a much friendlier position due to having that wildcard. With 2 big semifinal 2nd legs today, followed by potentially 2 finals to follow if this week goes well, I'm in the awkward position of having to economise every transfer, so bringing in Gabbiadini now to then be rid of him at a later just couldn't happen for me.

Right now I think having as many Chelsea/City players as possible is a winning strategy.
