    I'm thinking of doing Alonso, De Bruyne & Firmino to Bavies, Salah & Aguero for an 8 point hit.

    It feels right to me, any thoughts?

    It will give me a VERY juicy and top heavy strikeforce of Luk, Kane & Aguero.

    I dropped from 13k to 150k this week so maybe i'm panicking slightly.

    150k at this stage is a brilliant start. I'm at 440k and very happy with my start. I'd be keeping Alonso if I had him the other two moves look good but I'm guessing you need to sell Alonso to free up cash.

    Dammit I really want Aguero but Pep... Languishing in 2 million territory so maybe it's worth going for. Need something to spark my season into life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,216 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    My hit free diet didn't last long....

    Looking at Firmino > Morata
    and KDB > D.Silva

    Worth a hit :confused:

    Made a decent start but last week was a total omnishambles

    Yeah I need to use Alonso to balance the books. I have exactly the cash to do those three moves.

    I'm considering wildcarding but I might just do a rotation of Lukaku to Kun this week, Kun to Lukaku next week and then WC in two weeks time bringing in Kun till crimbo.

    I'm really not liking having my team so top heavy this year but that's where the goals are coming from.

    I've just realised it's now time to start considering Everton options.

    They have been awful, can't score and won't stop conceeding, wait till they at least show signs of turning their form around.

    Ah they had a tough auld run over the last few weeks.

    Free hit played. I've been going backwards each week since GW3 and stinking up the place big time. Currently placed 1.9 million :(

    Jagielka --> Clark
    Simpson --> Naughton

    Redmond --> Ritchie
    Can --> Coutinho
    Alli --> David Silva
    Willian --> Brady
    Loftus-Cheek --> Obiang

    Kane --> Agüero

    Money in the bank to bring Kane back next week.

    Food for thought from SlimShady. Might still put Kane back in later in the week either.

    Either you don't understand that Free hit chip or I'm reading your post wrong. Kane will be in your team after the next GW, you don't have an option - your getting them players back.

    Free hit or wildcard??? If it's free hit, Kane and all your other players will be back in your team next week

    Hmm. Clearly I don't understand it. Thought that was the wildcard and they just renamed it.

    Ah well. We'll see how it goes. I've been playing the damn game since 2003 and have learned to deal with set backs. So I'm going to take this crushing news in my stride.

    Yea so your team goes back to what it was when you play the free hit and you don't get any of the price rises on your bank

    I'll be having some awkward conversations with the likes of Can and Willian round the dressing room next week so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,883 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    With Welbeck being out for the next few weeks, I wonder will Giroud come into the team or could Sanchez get a spot up front, I'd be tempted to take a punt on Giroud if I knew he was going to start

    I'll let you know :(

    At the moment. Squad value 99.1
    In the bank 1.3

    Firmino + Alli to Aguero + Ritchie for a 4 point hit.. good or bad move.. can captain Aguero 3 out of next 4 weeks then..

    I've done the exact same move. Considering how badly this season has gone for me so far, god knows!

    That doesn't fill me with confidence!! Ha ha... and don't usually take hits.. this will be 2 weeks in a row.. still don't want to go without Aguero in case he goes mad again.. a few goals from him and the 4 point hit would be quickly forgotten.. Just pissed I didn't do this on Saturday when he was 12.4!

    Just looking at the Aguero/Jesus stats for the last 5 games and noticed a potential trend developing regarding their game time:

    GW2: Everton
    Aguero - 90 mins
    Jesus - 45 mins (sacrificed at HT after red card)

    GW3: Bournemouth
    Aguero - 24 mins (didn't start)
    Jesus - 81 mins

    GW4: Liverpool
    Aguero - 90 mins
    Jesus - 56 mins

    Champions League: Feyenoord
    Aguero - 60 mins
    Jesus - 90 mins

    GW5: Watford
    Aguero - 90 mins
    Jesus - 64 mins

    Seems like whoever played longer the previous game will have less game time next time out. Interesting to see if either play in the league cup mid week. Could be a pointer for the Palace game - if I'm bringing Kun in I don't want him subbed off for the last half hour against a likely dejected Palace defence. They'll also be playing the following Tuesday in Champions League.

    Jesus starting tonight. Aguero not in the squad.

    .

    Don't think I'll be able to resist Aguero now.

    Kane's away stats are better than Aguero's home ones though...I don't know if he's a better captain choice this week. That's the only thing holding me back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 862 ✭✭✭unplayable


    On the paddy enhancement which looks good..gonna have a nibble on Ramos to score anytime v betis @5..think it's a decent price!

    Main thing that is putting me off is that fact it's Westham. This derby fixture is their cup final. They played like demons against us last May, beating us 1-0 and finallly ending all hopes of us catching chelsea.

    Ya just read that Kane has never scored against West Ham. This week is a head wreck.
