    2.2m in the bank and I'm still 0.1m short of Vardy to Aguero :(

    Sheffield have a great run can see double defence working well

    Martinelli worth a shout? 2 goals in as many games, good fixtures, only 4.5m. Obviously Auba's going to be the main man when he returns but might Lacazette make way?

    Reminder for those going early, by the deadline we’ll know what 4 teams will have blanks in GW28 (League Cup final)

    City and Arsenal almost definitely have
    Either Villa/SU and Leicester/Norwich likely have

    Maupay out. And Ryan. And anybody else that even looks remotely focking Brighton

    Aguero very close to going up in price and Maddison predicted to drop so moving now before I'm priced out of the change. Cleared out Pickford for McCarthy last week to raise funds so now have the exact money for Maddison and Abraham to Aguero and Hayden.

    Edit: Aguero now gone over 100% to a rise after being in the 90's earlier in the evening.

    Note for future 'shineon' when i look at this next week.

    Banked a transfer this week rather than stinking up my team with WHU players i won't want after this GW.

    2 FTs

    Can do for free
    Salah or Mane to Son.
    To allow Vardy to Aguero

    Or

    Can do for - 4
    Downgrade 2 defenders to fodder/rotaters
    Would let me keep Salah and Mane
    Amd move Vardy to Aguero

    They also have only 5pts from the last 18. One player max for me and and even considering selling Lundy

    Are the Aguero owners not concerned he will be rested for league games once the CL returns next month?

    No but I am worried about the blank in GW28 but for now I'm enjoying the ride, 70 points in 3 GWs

    No, play every GW as it comes, worry about it when it comes.

    Sometimes overthinking can be the downfall.

    There is a lot of budget price defenders & midfielders performing & able to fill in.

    It's just essiential that you have a strong bench or at the very least a playing bench, he is so explosive that you can absorb the rests, feck it he even scored last night when rested!

    Did you take into account that they've played City twice, Liverpool and Arsenal in the last 6? In the other two games they only conceded the 1 goal against Watford. I'll be doubling up on defence soon.

    I already have Aguero, would it be absolute madness to get Jesus in to replace Vardy? Be good craic to own the two in fairness.

    Might do Maddison and Vardy to Fleck and Auba.

    Madness in my opinion. If you have the money go with PEA.

    I need a <5.9 mid for Madisson to upgrade Vardy to Aguero....

    Any suggestions?

    Was thinking Doucoure ... other options are

    Cantwell (havent owned this season)
    Fleck (don't know anything about him tbh
    Traore (bad fixtures)

    In the same boat. I prefer Fleck, their fixtures for the next 6 weeks are lovely.

    Need to remember this
    Been on my radar for ages
    Having Lundstrum put me off
    But those fixtures
    And they are actually a good team
    Much better and more reliable than the likes of united and arsenal
    But don’t see him in many squads

    Yeah you're probably right. I don't have money for PEA, will probably just go with Ings and re-invest elsewhere

    JWP (5.8) has a great run of games after Liverpool.

    On set pieces, corners and free kicks and should be on penalties but I could see Ings possibly taking PKs.

    That Auba run of fixtures look great, and his points total is great but Arsenal are awful and I find him such an annoying player to own.

    Just swapped Grealish and Vardy for PEA and Fleck. Hopefully pays off. Last 2 weeks been terrible
