    Tomori out so I'll have 2 transfers the week after. But for who? Is Kelly likely to stay around for long?

    5 games in a row now with at least 2 goals. Good on the face of it, not sure how it translates statistically.

    It’s true, but Rashford has been prime beneficiary of that.

    I have Alli and Son. Would you take either or both out for Maddison or Richarldson

    A bit unclear 'cos you mention no Jimi replacement.

    Save if 1FT
    2FTs KDB goes and roll.

    I'd keep Jimenez.

    Everton do have a nice run coming up.

    Richarlison or Siggy could be in contention.

    Fodder striker for jimi so I can sell my fodder midfielder for Richarlson or Maddison alternatively keep de Jimi and.sell de bryune for either of them

    First though is an underwhelming use of 2 FTs unless the rest of your squad (please post it and let us know how much in the bank and number of free transfers) rocks.

    Ricky ahead of Mads in isolation.

    I have Alli but want Son.

    Think if I had Son then I wouldn’t really want Alli.

    Think I’ll let KDB play against Arsenal next week and then swap him out for Son.

    But double Spurs attack does make me feel a bit uneasy.

    Have Son, will bring in Alli soon if they seem like being back to their best.

    Yeah.

    Barring injury I’m doing Lacazette to Abraham this week.

    Then next week KDB to Son.

    Will mean having double Spurs and Chelsea - Alli & Son and Mount & Abraham but I’m ok with that.

    Jimi -> Rashford

    I can do it with my FT and 0.1 to spare. I can wait and be ok with one price change but two and I can't. Probably do it tonight if Rashford makes it to the 90. He doesn't need to play Thursday night.

    I fecking forgot to do it. Fecking pints

    I had Son, took him out for Sterling, Sterling went on a barren run, put Son back in, Son barren run, now Son out for Alli and Son starts scoring again.

    I'm thinking of KDB to Son and having no City cover.

    That’s a cracking XI

    I’m guessing there’s nothing in the bank? I wouldn’t be in a mad rush for any changes really, other than to bolster the subs bench a bit. If you could get Krllh even for Christmas itd be a nice insurance policy for rotation.

    Jimi would be the one I’d look to change alright, so much value in 5 midfielders

    When you say a barren run, what exactly do you mean????

    Son has played 14 games this season, and has return in 10 of these games,
    First game of season in GW3 he blanked
    Next blank was in GW8
    Next blank was in GW9 where he came off the bench - only played 45 mins
    Next blank was in GW15

    There are a lot of people on here that seem to expect a player to return every single week, and if not have to get rid, regardless of form/fixtures/off days etc.

    So basically his "barren run" was 1.5 games?

    I haven't really tempted to double up on Chelsea attack. Abraham has been their only player that I've had this year and I brought Rashford in for him a few weeks ago leaving me with none now. I thought Mount's early points were a bit fortuitous at the time and he's averaging about 3.4 ppg in the last 11 so he's not really too tempting for me.

    Will prob get Abraham back in soon but 1 will be enough for me. I've double Leicester instead, Vardy and Maddison.

    Need to get a playing 5th mid for gw18.

    It looks like Dendoncker is the best option unless someone else is hiding.

    Any suggestions?

    I think I'm gonna stick with it. I've backed one FT so will have it over the next few weeks when I eventually leave it. It has to come off eventually! 3 more attempts.

    I think he'll be the Xmas period band wagon. Since Bruce has come in, his scored 37pts in 6 games...that's 6pts/GW average
