    Used 2FT and went Mendy > Holebas and Ings > Arnie. I like the look of Watfords fixtures and Arnie seems great value even though I missed his rise.

    Will get Mendy back in after the int. break if he looks like becoming a regular again

    Holebas could be banned by then anyway .......

    It was aguero to kane or salah/mane to hazard for me. Hazard's fixtures, mid-week rests, form and the fact Aguero is doing well swung it for me. Hazard in for Mane and captained.

    Would help to post your full team but I'm almost certain you'll be advised to hold it.

    I see no issue having 5 players in the Wolves v Palace game if they are mostly defenders. Think it'll be low scoring.

    Any money in the bank?
    Daniels needs to go as he isn't playing.

    Femenia or Zabaleta are good options at 4.3m
    Jorgino could also go. Maybe to Will Hughes.


    Other than that I'd bench TAA and McArthur.

    Edit: I only see 1 Wolves player?

    Maybe bank this week and then downgrade Lukaku to Arnie/Mitro and use the cash to upgrade Jorginho/MacArthur or Daniels over the next few weeks. Something like:

    Lukaku to Arnie
    Daniels to Mendy
    Jorginho to Maddison

    Will do a -8 I think.


    Salah to Hazard
    Aubameyang to Kane
    Walcott to Knockaert


    Might wait til tomorrow before making those moves. Been playing way too safe so far this season & OR has suffered. Kept faith in Salah & Aubameyang for too long while ignoring the in-form players. Time to change tactics...

    Hennessy
    Alonso Duffy Pereira
    Hazard Maddison Fraser Moura
    Aguero Kane
    Hamer Wan-B Bennett Guendozi

    1ft and 2.3m to spend.

    Not sure whether to bank or upgrade Fraser.
    Any suggestions?

    Think I might do Salah and Kun to Hazard and Kane for a minus -4. I will be wildcarding next GW so this is my pre wildcard punt. Salah might drop tomorrow night and Hazard will rise tonight. Plus I think Kane will be a slight differential in my main leagues. I could also swap DSilva to Maddison either.

    Im not boarding now felt last week was the time to do it to get the 2 easy games in.

    Just out of interest what podcasts do you listen to?

    Jay egersdorf does a weekly thing. Never longer than 15 mins that i find very good. He is world no 1 in FFS hall of fame has had a tough start this year though.

    Didn’t bother going Aguero to Kane.

    Have gone Foster to Hart. Sick of Foster and him letting a clean sheet slip just after the 4 extra points pop up for him!

    Might gamble on keeping Pedro after all. Might do Zaha to Mitrovic instead and leave it at that.

    Tried a few lately but am leaning towards The FPL General one (The 59th Minute) and 3 Amigos FPL Show as regular listens.

    I'll probably go with Kane in the end anyway and end up a foddery non playing 5th defender.

    Bernardo Silva and Eriksen out

    Mata and Son in

    Could be a masterstroke or disaster

    Banking after a successful start to my WC last week. There was severe temptation to get Kane in, but can't do it without being less happy with my team overall. I realise now that getting him in on the WC for Huddersfield and Cardiff and moving back to Aguero for the Burnley game would have been the way to go, but too late.

    Zabaleta and Diop are both 4.3...two tricky games coming up but then they've a great run.

    Thanks for this.

    I’m set on Leno in and Foster out and to enable it need to move on Rico who seems to have lost his place any way.

    Options to replace Rico are
    Zaba
    Diop
    Kenny
    Kiko Femina

    Leno Hamer
    AWB Bennet Trippier Robertson A.N Other

    Will be my 6.

    Would love to get some word on Ramsey within the next 4-5 hours before I finalise my team and head to bed.

    Anyone know what time the Emery presser is ?

    Kane and Bednarek in for Aguero and Shaw.....feeling mildly underwhelmed at the minute but a Kane captain non-fail will cheer me up I guess.

    Not happy with bringing in a non playing player but have a solid back four (Alonso, TAA, Wan-B and Doherty) so it shouldn't be an issue

    He did a post match one last night so there won't be one today. All he said about Ramsey was "Aubameyang and Aaron are in London and we will look to see if they can play."

    I think it was one of those knocks like players get before in the internationals

    It was BS about being with his pregnant partner.

    I’m sure he’ll want to make himself available for the league game though.

    Hope Emery tells him to stay at home.

    Did Neves to Maddison. Will hold onto Fraser for another while and hopefully he'll outscore Knockaert

    No.

    He didn’t make himself available for the European game beacuse his partner is pregnant.

    I’m not sure how far along she is but to me it’s obviously just an excuse as he doesn’t want to play in Europa League and wants to keep himself available for the league.

    I would like to see Emery take away his minutes and go with a player that isn’t playing for a Bosman and will be still there next season.

    Like Iwobi for example. That guy deserves a chance.

    Stick or hold on Lamela.

    Another goal mid week vs Barca. Surely he's knocking on the the door to start now.
