    Ah, sure what's -8 if you have a few players injured/suspended :-)

    I just have Sané, who I expect to be benched, so I hear you.

    Fabianski
    Robertson Alonso AWB Doherty
    Sterling Sane Son Ricky

    Hopefully at least one of Sane and Son makes an appearance

    Rui

    Robbo Kola Zanka AWB

    Sane Sterling Son Richy

    Kane (c) Laca

    Sub: Wilson

    Ryan
    Alonso Balbuena Doherty AWB
    Sterling (c) Salah (v) Anderson
    Wilson Jiminez Auba
    Bench: Ricky Hojbjerg TAA Button

    Going to roll the transfer. No Spurs cover has me worried but I made my decision to go with Auba over Kane two weeks ago and have to live with it. The extra transfer will be very useful heading into the Christmas I think. If TAA is still out next week he will likely go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    I’ve been hovering over pulling the trigger for Brooks out, Snodgrass in, but I think I’ll give brooks another week or two and carry the transfer

    Ryan
    Alonso Robertson Doherty
    Sterling Sane Richarlison Brooks
    Kane (C) Auba Wilson

    WanB first sub for Wilson if he doesn’t feature. I can see Doherty getting something against a leaky Bournemouth defense


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,508 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Dumped the stricken Silva for Sterling. I'm cautiously optimistic Sane plays. A breather would be better for him over Christmas. Same could be said for every team. As said here before he's one of the freshest top players in the league.

    Fabianski
    Alonso Robertson Doherty
    Salah(c) Sterling Sane Fraser
    Wilson Rondon Hernandez

    Stek Cairney Digne Bennett

    Couple of big decisions to make through the haze of a hangover........
    Start fabianski or Patricio? Currently starting Patricio purely based on being at home . He will be up against Fraser for me. Fab would be up against mitro. I hope Fulham dont get a pen..........

    Start Ricky or Murphy...,......

    Final decision affects the one above
    I have exact money for sane to sterling. This has been the plan for 2 weeks and was a big factor in selling salah. Sterling would be my captain next week.
    Or bank .
    Or..........sell Ricky for eriksen.........I've never had any luck with owning eriksen though. Ever. Can't risk son with sane also a rotation risk .


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Alli looks like he is getting back to form after his injury more minutes than Son and potentially more explosive than Eriksen

    And he would always be my favoured pick of the spurs mids as well
    I am very wary of introducing further rotation risk into mysqaud though as ours Xmas fixtures are very very congested

    Just spotted city game is early ko
    if e get early lineup that will help


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Lossl
    Kola Doherty Wan
    Sane Sterling Alli Anderson Torreira
    Kane C Auba

    Patricio for me. West Ham are incapable of keeping clean sheets so you are totally reliant on save points for Fab.

    I’d start Richarlison (and am myself). I also wouldn’t be selling him. Have a look at his fixtures after Spurs.

    Sterling/Sane is a toss up. I wouldn’t like to advise as Pep is capable of anything.

    I’d start Patricio.

    I’d start Richarlison without hesitation. I wouldn’t sell him either. Season keeper.

    I’d play Sane and carry the FT. Then bring in Sterling for the Palace game if you think he’s worth it.

    I bought Sane, as soon as Mendy got injured, and I won’t consider selling him until Mendy is available again.

    Edit - maybe you should stick to your plan and bring in Sterling as you’d kick yourself if he goes mad. But Sane is a quality option right now.

    This sand what Benimar said has basically been my thought process too
