    Pope on his last chance today. If he can't keep a clean sheet at home against a Newcastle team who are really struggling up front, there's no hope. Possibly a -4 to get rid of Tomori while I'm at it (partially to fund a better keeper)

    Newcastle struggling? they have scored 11 goals in the last 6 Premier league games, scoring 2 in 4 of them and 3 in the other, in fact they have scored in 7 out the last 9 games. It would be a shock if they don't score today given their form.

    I should probably sell Fredricks


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts

    Their front 3 have managed 2 goals all season, they're not exactly prolific. Getting a lot of lucky/freak/unusual goals from defenders (and recently Shelvey)

    Chelsea fire sale, Pulisic&Tomori out for Ricky&Williams.


  • Registered Users Posts: 237 ✭✭HelloYoungBoy


    Using the free hit this week. Any suggestions? Fixtures are not the best from initial inspection


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,265 ✭✭✭COH


    WC activated


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,129 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Robertson out for a Cheapie and then a possible upgrade elsewhere.

    TAA out, maybe to Aurier. And maybe Abrahams to Rashford.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo

    Yeah a few annoying price rises tonight which means I likely need to move early

    Pulisic or Abraham to Martial or Rashford seems a solid move

    However a TAA to Aurier, Pulisic to Son also appeals

    I must not buy Martial
    I must not buy Martial
    I must not buy Martial

    I must not buy Martial


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,288 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    VVD out for Kelly or another cheapie Def. And raise funds for an upgrade somewhere. Might even take a hit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,426 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Think I'll get Rico in for Tomori. Happy to have him benched most weeks (TAA, Soyuncu, Aurier, Lundy to play), seems to be a fairly solid contributor, good price, and some decent fixtures in the weeks I'll need him (like next week)

    Only issue is he is zero when you need him and a hero when you don't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,837 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Mings to Baldock for my Sheffield United double-up (something I generally hate doing, but it’ll be short-term)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,205 ✭✭✭scotchy


    So, Kelly or Rico???

    Thoughts:confused:

    But for whom ?

    But for whom ?

    Would I be mad to swap Mane for Salah ?

    Weill it would be a bit mad to do it this week.......


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Have Trent & Salah with an injured Tomori so need to have someone there on bench as cover.

    A lot of rough fixtures with no City coverage, 2 Leicester players, 2 Chelsea players & a spurs player who plays Chelsea.

    I’ve 2.7m ITB, do I move on Tomori or move on Pulisic for a 10.1m player?

    Ideally I’d like to punt on Jimenez to Deuleofeu or Pulisic to Grealish (who has home games to Southampton & Norwich next)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,996 ✭✭✭✭billymitchell


    Tielemans to grealish , Villa have some tidy games coming up, and he is their most likely threat

    I’m going Rico, can’t see Kelly keeping his place when Ward comes back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Pulisic is defo gonna drop by midweek
    No way I’m losing .2 on him
    I’ll take a hit to sell him I think
    So I have to hold off On defensive transfer first while I decide

    Yeah think I’ll be going with him out for Grealish.

    Can’t really go for a hit on my punt of Deuleofeu tho!

    I wouldn’t swap.

    But I’d like to own both.

    Dgw Triple captain options are going to be tricky again if they do

    There is always something to play for. Top 4 is so open this year, none of the contenders will want to drop points


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,573 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Thinking KDb and Jimi to Rashford and Ali form players, think going sleep on it 2ft


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Triple Leicester away to City, double Liverpool and Tomori........no clue what to do!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,342 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Maddison to Grealish most likely with one FT.

    will see how Rashford goes today against a packed defence before potentially moving for him too.

    Is it worth selling Mane for one week to bring in KDB or son?

    Wouldn’t think so no. You’re relying on them having one very good week to even make a small profit there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,304 ✭✭✭munster87


    Going to bring in Zaha or Grealish, not sure which yet though.

    Would be a free transfer

    Yes but you lose 2 transfers doing it. What is the implied value of those 2? It’s a difficult one to quantify (although FPL themselves put an 8 point value on it)

    The other transfers could also spread their value well over the Christmas rotation whereas this one you have to get the value all from one week.

    Unless you captain the player in question, I’d look at it as a losing percentage play unless your move in brings in a double figure score.

    Not sure why you'd bring in Zaha. Has shown nothing over the past few GWs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,033 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    I'd nearly sell Rashford again!

    I have Zaha and thinking of selling him for Grealish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,129 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Robertson out for a Cheapie and then a possible upgrade elsewhere.

    Who is the most Nailed Villa defender? Is Targett now definitely preferred to Naylor?

    I think I might upgrade Guendouzi to Grealish too and go with a strong front 8 for the festive fixtures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,483 ✭✭✭macraignil


    Going to try to bank the transfer to have two next week and bring in Salah while getting rid of Robertson for a cheaper defender.

    15 mins of KDB in action has convinced me

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Disastrous gw17 for me. But i can't dwell on mistakes. Shouldn't have sold KDB. Looking at a -8 to get him back in

    TAA, Soyuncu, Zaha out
    Kelly, Webster, KdB in

    To leave me with:

    Henderson McGovern
    Robertson Lundstram Rico Webster Kelly
    Son Alli KdB Mané Dendoncker
    Vardy Abraham Jimenez

    Lots of value in cheap defenders. Gives me a better attack and a better team for gw18. May have to move on Kelly tonight though as i have exact funds to do these moves.

    P.S. if anyone has a suggestion of someone better than Webster at 4.4m, let me know


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Selling KDB is looking like a huge mistake
    I ca get him back in for minus 4 by selling TAA and pulisic
    Certainly considering it
