    Alli or Sterking for a 1 week punt?

    Will already have Son & KDB

    Sterling was down at end of game with either a muscle strain or cramp
    And there are midweek games for some

    Certainly considering it

    I sold him last week too chasing Rashfords points. That was clearly a mistake. Let’s not make the same mistake again. He’s not scoring 19 points every week

    I know he won’t be playing arsenal every week
    However he might be playing in that advanced position

    I really want DCL for the Arsenal game.

    Think he'll punish them. Tempted to even double up on it with Richi.

    Thoughts on:

    Ings - DCL
    Alli - Richi
    ?

    I have Alli Kane and don't really want the double up V Chelsea. But they then have Brighton!

    Take off the Everton cap. Richy is more than enough I think. Dcl doesn't score enough for me

    Nah nothing to do with Everton just how bad Arsenal are. Would want Cilson probably for the fixture also (Arsenal's next)

    **** it I might too. It's a 21 point mistake tonight. is making it a 25 point mistake that much of a difference really. TAA would make way for me. Would leave me with a budget defence all of a sudden - Aurier Soyuncu Lundstram Rico Kelly - mad to think I'd have 3 defenders that started the season at 4m.

    On the flip side, the front 7 would be:
    KDB Mane Son Alli
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

    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.


    Pulisic out and De Bruyne back in after making the mistake of swapping him for Son last week.


    Maybe can work out how to swap Son to Salah in a few game weeks if I manage to bank a free transfer some time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Mane to KdB worth a -4?

    But I don’t think I will .........not mad on having 4 players in that game next week. Even I will be benching Söyüncü
    Think I’ll stick with the plan
    If I can remember what that is :D

    Question folks, if Grealish (who is on 4 yellows) gets booked in the cup tie with Liverpool on Tuesday will he be suspended for next weekends league game? Thanks!

    Wildcard time


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


    I am really struggling with my defensive transfer
    Have 0.8 in bank so if I sell Fredricks o can get anyone for 5.3
    If I decide to sell TAA and pulisic to get KDB I can get 5.2 defender

    Not one team have a set of fixtures coming up that make this easy
    Rico is probably the easiet one to move for but he looks like rising tonight . And he plays for Bournemouth
    Villa have decent fixtures but mings is out and I just don’t think I trust them
    Brighton have 2 decent home games in 18 and 20 so might be a go
    Newcastle also not bad 3 in 4 home games
    I have even started looking at united defenders for their run . But just can’t pay 5.3 for them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,542 ✭✭✭✭CSF

    This is a bad week for it. The fixtures are not good. Unless you've like 6 players from Liverpool and West Ham or no bench cover, your free hit team probably isn't gonna be THAT much better than the team you have already.

    Can’t understand any team that doesn’t have Kelly, Rico, Lundstram.

    I’d now be looking at adding one of the Watford boys and may do if I want to raise some cash from TAA. I’d prefer Femenia but only if I knew Janmaat was going to be missing for a good period.

    I have kelly and Lundstrum now . Ended up paying 4.3 for kelly in the end as I had to wait 2 weeks which annoyed me
    But I’m such a tightass I’m struggling to spend 4.3 on Rico and won’t spend 4.4 if he rises :D

    I think I’ll probably go for targett or Guilbert

    Fredricks suspension has been the killer
    I’d have kept him and sold TAA but for that
    But I can’t justify keeping him for 2 blanks and then he plays lecister


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I’d originally planned KDB out for Son with this FT.

    Would be hard to do now but I still might.

    It would leave me with a ‘set and forget’ team which is normally how I’d like to play it.

    However I’m really tempted to use my next 3-4 weekly FT’s bringing in one player against Arsenal.

    Could sell Mount this week for Richarlison then sell Richarlison for Fraser then sell Fraser for Mount/Pulisic then move him on for Martial.

    Would love to do it but what are the chances of it going smoothly and the rest of my team staying fit and available. Very low I know.

    I may just carry this weeks FT and let KDB play Leicester and then decide when Liverpool come back.

    Would love a midfield of Mane, Salah, Alli and Son but it’s not possible. Well without a WC.

    So sell Fredricks for Rico and be done with it.

    And then look at a Watford wingback for TAA if you need cash.

    The problem with Rico is it’s hard to find the transfer that brings him in. He’s great value but there’s always something more pressing to do.

    Have you factored in how and when to get TAA back?
    Fredricks will be price protected when the red flag clears so there's a good chance he'll hold his price. Having played the BB you can move to a 3.9M fodder.

    Villa defender and KDB looks a good move especially if you'll bench Lund in GW21 and GW22

    City will have the fresher legs next weekend if Leicester take the cup seriously.

    Leighton Baines anyone?

    I did have a look but too pricey.

    Factor that in with him not being fully match fit and a lot of games coming and up I don’t see the value.

    He is probably susceptible to an injury too.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I’ve just done Mount to Richarlison.

    Have taken huge losses on Mount and I’m not willing to take another one tonight.

    I’m trying to enjoy the game I really want an Everton attacker against Arsenal next week. So I’m backing myself on this one.

    If I’d listened more carefully to myself I probably would have captained KDB against Arsenal this week.

    Can try and switch off now.

    Not even that concerned if Arsenal appoint a new manager before that game.

    Same :&
    It will be my Xmas present to myself if I do it
    He is in great form though with 3 decent fixtures over Xmas
    It’s either him or Grealish
    And Grealish is on 4 yellows
    I’ve decided not to chase KDBs points from this week ...

    Only way I can get KdB back without a hit is with Mane.

    Not an issue for this week, but means a -4 to get a Liverpool attacker back for GW19.


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


    For those thinking of getting KDB id be fairly certain he won't start GW 20 home to sheff utd its less than 48 hours after city play Wolves away in Gw 19. I have KDB but I wouldn't be getting him in now till GW 21. Your looking at Leicester home , wolves away , blank.

    I was worried about not owning TAA for about 6/7 weeks, finally bought him and apart from one 10 pointer, he hasn't really been worth the outlay.

    I'd take a hit over ditching Mane. Even with the blank


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    I moved Sterling for KDB, mainly to free up funds. Have one more FT. Thinking of Madison to Richarlison.
    Should I pull the trigger? I have Vardy and Soyuncu as Leicester cover.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,713 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Looking at a hit I'd say...like the look of Richarlison too so would be something like Mount and Chilwell out with someone like Dunk arriving

    Thinking of doing the same move. 2 difficult ones for Maddison and Everton have a good run, Arsenal really are a shambles at the moment.


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


    I did TAA, mount and tielemans to baldock, son and Cantwell for a -4.

    Appointment is imminent apparently... Possibly Arteta against his old club.

    Doh.

    I wouldn't worry, that defence is so bad I don't think any kind of manager bounce will save it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Team is
    Pope
    Kelly Lundy Rico
    Maddison Grealish Son Douglas.L
    Vardy Jesus Abraham

    Stek Soyuncu Robertson Mane
    1.3m in the bank
    Used my FT for Mount to Grealish.
    Would it be worth going Maddison to Richy.
    Or Mane to KdB for a -4?

    Thinking would be Mane to KdB this week.
    Next week Maddison/Robertson to Salah/Aurier
    Or Maddison/Jesus to Salah/Pukki
    Want Salah over Mane going forward and not having KdB is killing me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    1 ft 0 itb

    Pope
    Lund Rico Cahill
    Maddison Grealish Cantwell Son
    Kane Rashford Vardy

    Button Soyuncu TAA Mane

    Think that's a decent enough team for this week so will probably bank. Not considering selling TAA or Mane and I'll need to get KDB back in again soon.

    Transfers done, Sterling and Madison out,KDB and Richarlison in.
    Cantwell was brought back a couple of weeks ago with the Liverpool blank in mind. He'll cover for Mane while Kelly will cover for Robertson.

    Brought Pukki back in a similar move weeks ago. But now I'm sweating on him and Maddison to Richarlison will have to wait we get word on his toe... he could have easily exploded on Saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,030 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    I've been thinking about ditching Maddison too, but he is a return machine. He should have an assist from Saturday, I don't think it was an OG at all. He takes set pieces. I have him cheaper too, so that is kinda stopping me selling him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,595 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Have two FT, was set to get rid of TAA but struggling to do it. Just know I'll regret it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,607 ✭✭✭caviardreams


    Have 2 FTs and no immediate changes so thinking of downgrading Pope to a 4.0 for the cash (have already played bench boost) and just sticking with Ryan as a set and forget.

    I want to go for button as he will play if Ryan is out but I see he could drop to 3.9 down the line - I guess if you are not planning on selling him that doesn't really matter though right? Any better 4.0 options?
