Current team: McCarthy, steer Kwp, chilwell, semedo, Doherty, Douglas Salah, son, zaha, Bissouma, klich Wilson, DCL, kane Proposed team: McCarthy, AREOLA, Kwp, MINGS, LAMPTEY, KILMAN, Chilwell FERNANDES, JOTA, ZIYECH, Zaha, GREALISH BAMFORD, Kane, Dcl That's from a quick look at what I could do. Any major issues with that? Kilman and Jota playtime maybe, but it's an upgrade on two players that were not playing for me. the proposed team has 2.5 in the bank to bring in Salah again for fernandes if needed.

Alternatively someone like Brewster instead of Bamford, assuming Bamford is the fall guy most weeks. Watkins over Bamford for me as well, same price - Watkins has penalties, but it's a much of a muchness as Bamford seems to be main Leeds goalscorer, whereas Villa do have others like Grealish who you have. Leicester have some good fixtures coming up - maybe look at Vardy - downgrading Bamford, and upgrading DCL - and go with 5 strong mids and 2 premium strikers.

Chesty08 wrote: » Had all them. Committed to losing one of Son/Kane early due to fixtures. Salah’s covid: I’ve decided to go ahead without for next 3 games. Away to Brighton tricky game to bounce back plus City playing Fulham, West Brom & Burnley home in next 5 so fancy up a double there. I kept DCL for now but really considering Richy. To be honest, I’m not worried about value at this stage & if those lads do continues to streak I’ll get them back in, if they don’t there value will drop as others rush to get on others.

Use the 0.2 to get Richy for DCL 2. Move Chilwell & Brewster to James & Adams to give better attacking rotation Advice much appreciated

His attacking career stats are pretty insane (11 goals 8 assists in 31 league matches last year - before coming to United he had 2 assists and 2 goals in just 3 games this season!). I saw him in a CL match for United and he was on every corner iirc and his delivery was superb. I know United haven't been the best defensively but WBA at home is as plum as it gets. Bit of a punt and I could get PVA at a similar price who has 3 great fixtures and is that bit more proven, but he could be a bit of a hidden gem and one where a small punt at 5.5 could be worth it.
Chesty08 wrote: » I had him in there when playing around and was thinking Telles & Rashford instead of 4.5m Defender & Fernandes. United’s WBA fixture is definitely appealing. Currently have a team with Vardy on the bench for this GW

Telles & Rashford instead of Coufal & Fernandes 2. Double City, Jota & Vardy -> KdB & Brewster(I need a bench attacker too) 3. Rashford instead of Fernandes. Anyone any advise

One of them have to go or you’ll be pulling your hair out with the weekly decision who to play and then you’ll be hurting from points on the bench. You couldn’t drop any of those midfielders on any given week. So you should only have 2 strikers and Brewster. Or you sell Jota for a 4.5 and upgrade Watkins but nobody great knocking about in the mid 8’s. I do really like the front 3 though. Richarlison flagged I believe so maybe DCL ? Who is on Everton pens ? Are we 100% sure ?
Chesty08 wrote: » Richarlison took the last pen when the first Xi on so assuming it’s him. His flag has gone. I fully agree with you on the front 8 & originally my midfield consisted of Sterling (instead of Jota) & Brewster (instead of Vardy). The other bits left in bank was used on Bernardo to KWP. With that I thought it was too much money on the bench in defence (I’m never playing a 5th defender). I really like the double City so I might revert to that & drop Vardy.

My WC team had Wilson and Grealish in it though, so kinda annoying that I have to reshuffle now. Robertson yellow flagged and Allison injury is also a pain. Think I'll make room for Robertson anyway.

Thinking of the following Guaita to McCarthy Mings to Reguillon Vardy to Wilson Rodriguez to Salah The above leaves me with 0 in the bank. Obviously KDB is a big consideration as well but I can't see how I fit him in. Any thoughts? Lol, just seen now that Grealish autocorrected to freakish.
Ace2007 wrote: » Assuming Jones should be James? I think you have spent too much on your defence, especially adding in Reguillon. Given your front 8, your going to play 3 at the back at any one time, so do you need, all that money there? Likwise double playing keeper is costing money - all these add up if you want to get KdB - probably boils down to selling DCL
eagle eye wrote: » Yeah another autocorrect, it's Reece James. Double playing keeper? I'm not with you in that, is that my original team where I have Mings and Martinez? Or are you talking about double Chelsea at the back?
