    Werner out. Have no idea who's in yet. Maybe Vardy or even Brewster to give me more funds in midfield

    Chillwell firmly in my thoughts

    Dangerous from general play as well as corners today

    But I wouldn't expect him to be on corners moving forward, Ziyech will more than likely be the taker I'd imagine, with both being left footed Chilwell isn't going to offer anything different depending on the side either

    Most likely Aubam to KDB


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,378 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Jorginho in. Sure, he's annoying to own but averaging a penalty per game, what's not to love?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    Werner to Kane.

    One more week for Werner. Seeing the final score was expecting at least an assist

    Who else can play in his position? he somehow missed the West Brom game.
    However at 5.1m he is probably worth a gamble.

    Kante?

    I'm guessing Werner out needs to be done tonight or he'll drop?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,638 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Kante?

    Kante played today as well though? Chelsea have such a big squad, and endless amount of midfield players.

    Yeh he plays Kante ahead of Jorg for whatever reason but Kante is the only one that can slot into that position I think.

    It was Kovacic and Kante in those "double-pivot" positions against West Brom. It looks like Kante and one of Kovacic/Jorginho going forward IMO.

    Werner out for literally anyone.

    Should have gone with my gut and got rid two weeks ago. He looks about as dangerous as, something not dangerous.... :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,922 ✭✭✭normanoffside


    James to Chilwell looks a no-brainer


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,359 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Think with Covid outbreaks a full squad is essential, so all going well will add Brewster insted of Davis

    Mitrovic on the verge of a drop makes me think it's worth using one of my 2 free transfers today. Brewster would allow a defensive upgrade with maybe Chilwell coming in for James leaving 1.3mill in the bank.

    Also Maupay looks good so could bring him in for Mitrovic if I downgrade James to a defender for 4.8mill or less but not sure who yet. Maybe Lewis if Newcastle look good in the late kick off but open to suggestions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    If I use my free transfer to protect against a drop today, and wildcard during the week makes sense? Rather than waiting wildcarding and having suffered the drop


  • Registered Users Posts: 738 ✭✭✭Gaillimh1976


    Keane out

    No Everton defenders until Pickford dropped

    I never thought I'd say this but thinking KDB out... What have you done, Pep?

    Liam Cooper for Leeds is just 4.4mill and looks to be in line for a bonus point from today's game. Think I'll go for Mitrovic and James to Maupay and Cooper.

    Chidwell or Castegane

    1. Transfer now or after international break + window closing? Price increases make it tempting now

    2. Sell Auba or KDB? Need cash for elsewhere tbh struggling in defence

    If you aren’t using the WC I wouldn’t be making any transfers until the last moment tbh.

    Some players have 3 international games, others will be late returning and add in the extra concerns of COVID and its asking for trouble making an early transfer.

    Jim, if you intend using your wildcard between 4 and 5 then start transferring anyone you like in or out now.

    As soon as you hit WC option any and al transfers/ hits you took for this week are incorporated into the wildcard.

    So definitely make transfers to protect from price fluctuations.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,187 ✭✭✭Colking


    Does anyone know or have an educated guess as to how much longer Justin will be a safe bet for Leicester ?

    Yeah agree the 3 international games and Covid thrown in, probably going to be injuries and players out for GW5

    I want to see what happens tomorrow first but I'm afraid Werner will drop.

    I think Perreira is due back October at the earliest. I’d estimate he won’t be back in the team until November though. Castagne and Justin been brilliant so far.
