    Good news for Azpi owners.

    Not great news for Azpi and Rudiger owners :-)

    Have had them since wildcarding a few weeks ago and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster

    Think I am going to bank this week to leave me with two transfers for the potential DGW.

    Was planning transfers after the DGW-BGW and looking at Citys fixtures for the last 3 games theyve got Newcastle, Brighton, Everton to finish off the season. When the Newcastle game kicks off on May the 12th City will either be in the CL final a week after the PL season ends or they will have only the league to play for. Even if they are in the CL final I think the Pep roulette will become more steady for those final three games, he is likely to want to keep his strongest team sharp with game time before the week lead up to the CL final. It might be a good time to look at getting either Gundo or KdB back in. Other City players will be giving it their all to get a starting place in that CL final.

    Rudiger is a doubt for this weekend's game.

    oh no there goes my plan to bank the free transfer. It might actually work out well to sell Rudiger now as he is down on Bens chart to blank 36 anyway and Chelsea have a tough run in. But who to replace him with? Have Dallas, Dias, Targett and Castagne there already. Theres not many decent options 4.6m or under

    Plan was Vardy to Kane but tempted by a -4 of Salah/Davis to Siggy/Kane, seems a good -4 to take?


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


    Leicester unchanged according to Sam Martin on Twitter, he's been right for the last few games. Have Ricardo benched then and Rudiger also out. Might do a Ricardo to Castagne sideways move though that feels a bit like chasing points. Maybe Shaw would be a better option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Castagne gets in the box a lot and has two great fixtures, Southampton and Newcastle. Id fancy him to outscore Shaw attacking wise and Leicester should be good for one clean sheet from those two games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,063 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Anyone thinking bale in?

    Yeah I agree short term he's the best option but then their last 3 fixtures are poor. But I guess it's not the clean sheets I'd be buying him for. I could just play Konsa but really don't fancy double Villa defence away at Everton.

    I was all set on Vardy > Kane until Leicesters double game week was confirmed. Might just bank now but seems a terrible week to be without any Spurs players

    It's very difficult to know how Spurs will react after loosing the Cup final. Their season is all but over - Kane is really the only one with anything to play for.

    I have 3 of them and am worried - that said it would be a very 'spurs' thing for them to turn around and wallop Sheffield in a nothing game, it's kind of what they do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,042 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    I was going to bank now now I think I might take a chance on Luke Thomas tonight away to Southampton who are missing a few. In for Rudiger, who I probably would end up benching a bit in the upcoming few weeks anyways.

    He has the double upcoming too. Even if he got some points tonight, they would be better than Rudiger's 0 and I don't want to do double Liverpool defence away to Man Utd.

    At worst, he is a 4.1 bench fodder & enabler for the season end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,042 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Gonna chance Thomas as this guy says he is starting tonight.

    Personally, I think dropping Salah is madness. In a misfiring Liverpool, he keeps firing. United is an awkward fixture but I wouldn't put it past him to score. The run in is good then. Liverpool still need to win games, Spurs don't

    I don't think Spurs season is over by any stretch.

    Leicester have United, Chelsea and Spurs left
    Chelsea have City, Arsenal and Leicester, and are in CL

    If Spurs can b within 3 points of Leicester going into the last game and win - they'll leapfrog them. All other teams have really tough games. Liverpool for instance need to win against United really - to avoid Spurs and Everton leapfrogging them.

    I know but feel Kane is essential this week

    I had literally never hear of this fella til I saw your post :-)

    I have Rudiger and Phillips red flagged and only Holding in reserve, alongside Semedo and Azpi so I could conceivably just have 1 defender this GW.

    Would a hit for Thomas (or another cheap DGW defender) be a wise and canny move or just a waste of four hard earned points?

    He scored 2 at Old Trafford in the cup this season. And that was just after a period of time when Liverpool scored 1 goal in 5 league games.

    Salah is also going for the golden boot so I wouldn't drop him myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,192 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    I have Rudiger out injured and Masuaku listed as a 25% chance of making the game. If Masuaku misses out I'm left with relying on Holding to start.

    I've already taken a hit but am considering a -8 to do Rudiger to Digne as Holding isn't guaranteed to play. Digne has AVL then a double followed by SHU and WOL.

    Is Rudiger to Digne worth a hit?

    Vardy to Kane it is so!

    It's a tricky one, you'd expect Ricardo to get some minutes before the end of the season. But Castagne is much better on the right so maybe Rogers will stick with this defensive line up going forward and use Ricardo as more of a winger. All speculation on my part though! I've been following that Sam guy for a while, be must have connections to the club because he's been getting the team spot on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,575 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Rudiger to ward, as third bench player and very good DGW and a 36 gw.
    More importantly allows son and vydra to zaha and dcl for DGW for free next week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭patmac


    Jota/Vardy to Kane/Pereira for a reluctant hit. Didn’t have the balls to bank the transfer as I cannot afford not to have Kane and Vardy may not play both of the double gw due to the Cup Final.

    Ward only just played 90 min game- is he guaranteed his spot until end of season?

    He's played the last 9 in the league. I'm thinking of him for the DGW meself actually.

    Ha I had run in and double check to be sure,


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,153 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Planned to bank but I did Phillips to Coleman as I have enough injuries with Raphina and now Rudiger.

    Not the most reliable guy to bring in but he has potential to provide decent points for the run in. Fingers crossed he starts tomorrow night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Did Rudiger to Coufal, wasnt much else around at under the 4.9 I had to spend. Have benched Coufal as 1st sub anyway if Dias doesnt start
