    Do it. Thats what im doing anyways was half thinking of going auba but seeing as he is "sick" and laca only played a few mins tonight he shoild start. Id have been worried if he had started.

    Poor old Pter will be on here now giving out to us about trying to profit on his beloved Fulham's woe :P

    Yeah I'll probably take the hit I think it'll be worth it. Then again... Hazard vs Southampton...

    Maybe if they could defend a little we wouldnt be at them :P

    Fulham are 2nd highest in shots conceeded this year and highest ranked in expected goals against them.

    In shurle and mitrovic they have great players but they arent overly quick and Arsenal like to press high up the pitch so we could see a lot of the game played in fulhams half.

    They have conceeded 4 goals this season from turned over possessions and i watched a few highlights of there games earlier in the week they are very open on counter attacks.

    Hope Laca is on penos as i could see them giving away one.


    Didnt look Too much into the chelsea game but they do give up the most headed chances in the box so good news for giroud owners

    Fulham are a champo team. It's to be expected. You don't see me with Fulham defenders in my team.

    I think once the bonus pints are added Ive had a decent week took a minus 8 which was a pretty much a fail given the Ederson CS.

    And Hazard was the right choice over Laca if you had both, well done on that dude. God dam Unai taking of Laca and he on a hatrick :mad:

    I know, I only made the change from Lukaku to Lacazette late enough Friday. I'm miserly as hell giving up points for transfers but it worked well thankfully this time.

    Had Wilson too who's a great points getter for good value. My faith in Perreira for Leicester finally paid off with a goal too :)

    Have to remind myself now the international break is on now so not to spunk a transfer too early, injuries could play **** with the squads now :/

    I've already a -4 planned for the weeks after so I'll probably end up taking a -36 by the time it comes around. :pac:

    Im probably doing way too much gambling in this but its more fun this way at least.

    Bournemouth look like they could score heavily this season knocking lots of goals but its hard to go with more then one of them. Wilson was superb this weekend.

    Thats excellent as I don't think scoring was overly high this week so your GW rank should be very high.

    81 -8 here

    Depending on any injuries over the international break I'm considering dumping Mane myself tbh.

    Well I have both. And been tempted to get rid. But they do have a nice run after the break so I’ve stuck with them this far....

    If you held him this long you might as well keep him for Huddersfield, Cardiff and Arsenal.

    Im getting for the first time after the internationals (injuries permiting)

    So Mane dumped for Raheem. Out this weekend and just decided to get rid.

    Considering a second switch but not sure if I really need to or not this week, quite happy with my team at this point.

    Holding tough so far I was going to make changes to get Salah in but with some injury worries for him and half the Liverpool team seemingly I think I'm actually going to bank and see.

    Not overly happy with the team for the current game im be pretty happy with 50-60 points

    2 changes. Siggy & Doherty in. Ozil and Holebas out.

    There is some serious deadwood in my team. Dont know how they snuck in there suddenly :P

    :( Not a good week so far for me. Sterling didn't even play so hopefully Lacazette does the business for me Monday. Eggs firmly in one basket. 8 points on the bloody bench as well. Still have maybe 4 players left to play but not holding out much hope for a decent score.

    Would it be a terrible idea to give the captaincy to Callum Wilson this week coming up against Fulham? (sorry Pter)

    Considering taking a risk on it

    In theory this is a really bad match up for Fulham, Bouremouth love to counter in numbers and all there players are very quick and Fulham have been awful at getting caught on the counter this season.

    Wilson expected goal or assist per 90 is .86, so if Bouremouth score he is likely to be involved

    This game is the bookies 2nd favorite to have the most goals after the liverpools game in this round

    All in all I think he is a good shout

    Ozil and Mane in - Sterling and Moura out.

    Taking a risk with Ozil as he's hit and miss for points but I think with him being rested midweek and his performance against Leicester he's worth the gamble.
    Taking a -4 to get Mane in but he hit the net as well midweek so Cardiff could feel a lot of pain. Would have preferred Salah but I don't have the coin to get him in :/

    Barkley and Wilson in, might be jumping on the bandwagon a little late. For their prices it looks a no brainer.
