    Maddison & Hazard > Salah & Diangana worth it for a -4

    If I don't get Salah in I only have MAne v Fulham at home, which just seems wrong!

    Getting rid of hazard before Everton at home? Not for me and your gonna want him back in 2 weeks anyway

    Fabianski
    Mendy, Robertson, Alonso
    Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Richarlison
    Aguero, Arnie, Ings


    Subs: Speroni, Gunnarsson, AWB, Kelly

    Only .1 in bank. I have 2 transfers and don’t want to lose one.

    Thoughts on Robertson to Gomez to free up 1.1?

    Gomez has started one more game than TAA. Lads on Scoutcast were talking him up because he covers two positions.

    Thinking of this 8 point hit

    Maddison -> Mane
    Mitrovic -> Wilson
    Lacazette -> Arnie
    Boruc -> Hamer

    Have Begovic & Fraser already

    Want Liverpool cover, want Wilson despite alot of people getting burnt before with him. Dont want to give up Arsenal attacking cover but I think its worth it to cover the other 3 for one week at least. Might go for Ozil as a replacement down the line
    Hamer doesn’t play so who’s your other keeper?

    3.5 itb I’d planed to use on De Bryne and 2 FT’s

    Looking at Kenedy and Mitro out Arnie and Martial In

    Could just 1 transfer and do Bilva in for Kennedy but Mitro seems a bigger worry and Martial and Arnie are bigger threats imo. Any ideas lads?

    Any input from ye lads?

    Was close to losing a FT a few days ago, now with Maddison and Richardson news/rumours, looking to make a move. Nobody else in the price range appeals so think I’ll upgrade a fwd instead and go 433...

    Maddison/Ings - Brooks/Wilson

    Little bit worried bout Bournemouth double. Brooks will be first sub most weeks. Other options in the mid are Delofeau and Diangana.

    2FT:
    1) Mitro & Bednarek -> JimmyZ & Doherty

    OR

    2) Mitro -> Wilson

    Bank FT again, already have Fraser. Not sure about that double up with Bournemouth's fixtures. Have also considered a newcastle def instead of Doherty so I'm not doubling up on Wolves with Jimenez, mainly looking at fernandez or going for Brighton with Dunk.

    Thoughts?

    With the likes of Robertson, Alonso, Mendy and Trippier you nearly need to think of them as midfielders (except they return more points than nearly all mids in that price bracket). I think if you did you my suggested moves you'd have a little change to do Ings to Jiminez the following gameweek?

    Your squad certainly isn't in terrible shape. But yeah Arnie and Alonso are the two that jump out at me most that are worth getting

    I'm not in the Alonso camp either, for similar reasons

    Though one that might be worth a punt is Anderson in midfield. West ham have great fixtures and he's lively - two double digit scores so far this season.

    Ignore their clean sheets for a second, do you think they are producing the returns that their price tag demands?

    Robertson: 0 goals 2 assists - and they were in the first 4 GW's
    Mendy: 0 goals 6 assists - again only 1 since GW4
    Alonso: 1 goal and 7 assists - but again only 2 of these returns since GW 4(both assists)
    Tripper: 1 goal 4 assists - 3 of these since GW4 - so he's a little more consistent.

    But if you had a striker or a midfield player of the same price tag with those returns you would get rid of them. There are cheaper alternatives at those teams that will also get you the Clean sheet points. VVD could have had 2/3 goals in the last GW and is 0.5m cheap than Robertson and is more nailed on.

    I'm in the same boat as you with not wanting to lose an ft. Would you get VVD instead? I like the security of starts he'd bring over Christmas and it would give some cash to maybe do Ings to Jimenez at some stage. Plus surely he's going to score soon! I think Robertson is the most dispensible of RAM, as pointed out he's only returned two assists and none recently. He is a bonus magnet though.

    I don't think VVD is worth the extra cash over Gomez or TAA. I would just like to hear opinions re which of those two people think is the best option?

    That's like saying ignore the goals Aguero/Wilson got and they're not performing.

    It's not, the cheaper alternatives in those teams get the same clean sheet points as the premium guys whereas the strikers alone get their goal points.

    TAA has not being playing well at all. It’s only a hunch, but I have a feeling that he may be seeing less game time over the next few weeks.

    Gomez has zero attacking threat really. VVD had 3 great chances last week. He didn’t take any of them (and only has 1 goal since he joined) but he is still more likely to get attacking returns. VVD is also a guaranteed starter, there will always be a (currently slight) doubt over Gomez playing time.

    I’d rank them VVD, Gomez, TAA.

    If Gomez is going to be playing a lot at RB but with no attacking threat then Lovern will be pretty much nailed on at CB which, at his price, makes him a more attractive option than Gomez and arguably VvD too.

    Lovren has a habit of missing random games. I can see him and TAA splitting time, with Gomez the most likely of the 3 to start.

    Lovren won't be a regular until TAA or Gomez is injured. You're right in that he would be the best option if that happens.

    Three sheets apiece for TRAM since GW4.
    Compare that to the alternatives over the same period
    Duffy - 2
    Yedlin- 3
    Doherty - 3
    Steve Cook - 3
    Cedric - 2
    Chilwell - 2

    Even Balbuena has one and they are only starting their good fixtures.

    There’s a real blind spot here on RAM and I think it’s because people are comparing those 3 versus 3 cheap defenders when you actually have to compare them to 5 of which you’re picking 3 every week

    Mendy has 3 out of 4 clean sheets in that period. AWB would of stepped in with 2 & Bennett 1 in those 3 games missed so that’s 6 out of 7 for Mendy.

    Alonso has 1 goal & 7 assists to add

    7mil alonso got more points this season than 11.4mil aguero so far.
    You just cant ignore that

    But if you didn't have Alonso for the first two weeks, which many didn't, then you missed out on a lot of his points.

    I'm not ignoring it, my argument is that you pay a premium for these defenders because of their attacking abilities, but since GW4 they haven't return what they should for the premium you pay.

    The money could be use elsewhere to improve your team, and still be strong in defence.

    Since GW4 you might as well of had Luiz, VVD, LaPorte and Alderweireld. Players from the same team as TRAM, and would save you around 3m which you could spend elsewhere.

    You also have the option of the going to bargain route and getting in all cheap defenders and save 6/7m which could be used to get another premium player.

    Like I said take the first 4 GW's away and they haven't performed. Mitrovic for instance was on fire in the first 4 GW's - but everyone is getting rid of him now cause he's not returning goals and there are better value players. They aren't saying well he score 4 goals and got an assist in the first 4 GW's, that he's a keeper?

    Jaysus lads it's been a while since we had a decent debate like this. Personally I only have alonso and mendy I have lovren instead of robbo and am not convinced by spurs defensively yet but I can see the argument and it is quite valid. Even take stones or laporte instead of mendy your saving 1.1 or. 5 on both and luiz instead of Alonso saves 1.5. Id be more wary of going without alonso tho as previous years may have taught us

    I've got Salah and Mane and got Aguero.
    Would ye swap Salah for Sterling or Mane to David Silva or wait til next week? I hate not using a free transfer! I also have Milner.
