    Henderson(McGovern)
    TAA Robbo Lundstram
    Manè(C) Zaha Alli(vc) KDB
    Abraham Vardy Jimenez

    Soyuncu, Rico, Dendoncker

    Rotation looms. Guessing these things is a mugs game though. Best of luck all.

    This season my team always looks good on paper and then I get 50pts or less, humbug!!!

    Henderson

    Robertson TAA Soyuncu

    Mane (c) KDB Pulisic Mount

    Vardy Abraham Jiminez

    Just 2 more rolls of double Liverpool defence before the nightmare ends. Lundstram on the bench so hopefully no 20 pointer from him today.

    Banked transfer with potential bench boost next week in mind.

    -4

    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Kelly
    Alli Salah Maddison KDB
    Abraham Ings Vardy

    Button Lundstram Guilbert Saka

    Had to improve options, hence the -4. Martial and PVA destroying my squad.

    Salah will be captain. This is his day of redemption.

    Just looked into last years fixtures between the two and Sheffield won 2-1 on both occasions. Kind put me off starting Cantwell*, I would take a gamble on there being goals in the Manchester derby and United are performing on the break vs the top teams.





    *should read captaining Pukki :)

    If I knew martial would start I'd definitely play him

    Gazzaniga
    Chilwell, Robertson, Kelly
    Mane, De Bruyne, Alli, Pulisic
    Abraham, Ings, Vardy (c)

    Button, Cantwell, Lundstram, Guilbert

    Shocked by having 3.9mill in the bank since bringing in Alli for Sterling but very confused who to bring in with this weeks free transfer. Might go for Button to Guaita as Gazzaniga is not performing but if Salah plays well may need to bank and plan to bring him in in a couple of weeks.

    Good luck!

    Pulisic for me, although I would not enjoy having to make that choice.

    Ok I don’t often cry for help but here goes
    Bench one (obviously there are a few I am not considering benching but it’s important to see the whole lot )
    Alli (BUR) mane (bou) Madison (avl) pulisic (eve) zaha (wat)
    Vardy (avl) Abraham (eve) Jiminez (bha)

    I think some of them will get rotated anyway but will most likely all feature at some stage

    I’m flipping between pulisic and Madison
    Pulisic has contributed nothing since I signed him and I think he could be rested
    Madison is a steady Eddie
    Pulisic could be a huge score

    My head hurts

    This is what happens with a strong squad.

    So difficult.

    Abraham or Pulisic in that order.

    This was always the pain in the hole week and I knew it would be
    I’m hoping to bench boost next week
    And then hoops Xmas rotation takes care of the rest :D

    Pulisic is currently first sub

    Gazza
    Robbo Soyuncu Lundstram
    Mane KDB Zaha James
    Kane(c) Vardy Ings

    Have a gut feeling about Kane today, and in a week with no stand out captain its a nice time for a differential.

    Mad to bench boost with rotation possibilities at the moment? My main worry being Mane and maybe Mount but he got a rest last weekend.

    Twitter might help you with it being the early kick off.

    Not sure if there’s a good source there for team sheet.

    Have Kelly and Tomori benched at the moment.

    Yeah. Palace away from home against a newly managered team.

    But Zaha can do anything.

    start lund and robbo
    defo Tomori on the bench anyway. I have a feeling he will soon be there for Chelsea as well sadly.
    So then one of kelly or soyuncu
    Both will prob concede and both are dangerous from set pieces but Soyuncu has actually turned that threat into points so go with him

    And the more space they leave the better for him
    I am going to leave pulisic first sub for now and watch twitter like a hawk in case Abraham is benched

    I think you're right, buy equally he's an easy transfer out at that price to someone like Dunk who I have my eye on.

    Try and get early team news. I personally believe he's due a rest. Midweek is a big Champions League game.

    Yeah. I’m giving him one last week. He was unlucky not to get points against Villa.
