Option A - 8
Kane to Wally Otkins (Have DCL already)
Son to Salah
Stones to Trent

Option B - 4
Bruno - Salah
Lingard - Greenwood

I feel I need Salah this week and these look like my only reasonable options to get him in.

B could end in tears because of all the Bruno captainers. Not sure I like A either because you will probably want Kane back in. As it is with me I am keeping Kane and deliberating over keeping Son. Horrible decisions, can't have everyone

I know regarding Kane. A third option has emerged :pac:

Son - Salah
Stones - Mitchell

My defence is weak. Main rival with double Pool could hurt badly.

The case for Mitchell.

I am looking at Mitchell too. Would be great if he played both matches. I already have Ward. What is the story with PVA? Is he out of favour because I thought he was Mitchell's rival for left back.

I'd only be parroting what the article says. PVA is likely out the door this summer. Does that mean Mitchell will get a run now that he's got back into the team again? It should and would if I was the manager but Hodgson is likely out the door too this summer

How Soon Is Now · 07-05-2021 05:04PM

So went with Ward Greenwood and DCL in for Stones Jota and Bamford for minus four.

"The comparisons with Wan-Bissaka are obvious ones to make - they came through our ranks and were good defenders for their age.

We've been very pleased with Tyrick - in particular I thought he was exceptionally good at the weekend.

But he's not been blessed with staying fit consistently. The big thing will be to make sure he stays fit going forward and it's not going to be a case where we get excited about him and lose him again."

Dubh Geannain · 07-05-2021 05:18PM

Thanks. More up to date that. Hodgson said "But he's one that's not really been blessed with with being able to stay fit for long periods of time. He's had several occasions where he's actually probably almost broken into the team, then to be taken out because he picked up an injury."

Actually probably almost. Jeez. That's some clarification right there. I think he's got to be my punt. Otherwise I'm looking to get Kane back in again next week for another hit.

Time to roll the dice and hope Liverpool don't keep any clean sheets...

Nothing ever straightforward with Roy

Might only play one match maybe because they don't want him injured again? I probably need him playing the 2.

I've done it. It was the simplest way to get Salah without moving Kane out or Bruno.

Then in a rush of blood to my head I did Dallas to Kabak for a -8!

CornettoQueen · 07-05-2021 05:37PM

Is Jota to Greenwood worth a hit?

Was looking to get Jota in, but realised he wasn’t starting against Utd, will Klopp play the same team against the Saints? Then it is worth doing.

Cypher_sounds · 07-05-2021 05:43PM

Thinking of bringing in Ward but I see palace have only 1 clean sheet away from home all season hmm.

He's cheap and they have decent fixtures for the rest season I went with him anyway. It depends who else you have at the back.

I’d be bringing him in for Rudiger but he’d be replacing Dallas in my first 11 who could easily score 3 times the amount Ward scores over the dgw. Decisions decisions.

patmac · 07-05-2021 05:53PM

So
Option A : Kane/Rudiger to DCL/Robbo gives me double Pool defence and 10 for 36
Option B: Kane/Pereira to DCL/Greenwood leaves me with 8 for 36.
Option C: keep the 8 points.

Ya, I brought him on the WC but as I also brought in Guaita, I'm benching him. Sounds like he'll only play one game I think.

eagle eye · 07-05-2021 06:01PM

I'm hanging onto Lingard. Besides him all doubles and three United triples and bench boost active.

Team is
Martinez, Guaita
TAA, Digne, Shaw, Ridiger, Castagne
Salah, Bruno(C), Jota, Greenwood, Lingard
Calveet-Lewin, Watkins, Iheanacho.

Brave move given the fact they have home games against Wolves and Villa over next couple of gameweeks.

He has double Pool defence (Robbo and Trent) and Jota. I probably wouldn't be considering Trent if he didn't have him. So he's maxed on Liverpool already.

I hope he doesn't go getting rid of one to bring Salah in. Salah is to going to be my big differential hopefully.

Our teams have been ridiculously similar lately. Last week we had 7 players, Martinez, Lingard, Bruno, Son, Kane, Jota and Nacho. He's followed me with my transfers the last few weeks so it's been a grind. I wouldn't go so far as to say he copied mine but with 500 quid on the line it's quite possible.

Will be interesting to see if he got Salah in! Did you take the -8 in the end?

Too early to make transfers until Liverpool / Man U fixtures confirmed, but it’s never too early to plan.

Currently have a bench of Sanchez, Bamford, Dallas and Coufel. Unless there’s a better GW to bench boost I need to improve that.

Bamfired and Dallas out.

Could get DCL and a 4.1 defender. Is Mitchell back in favour and likely to play twice?

Well this hasn’t worked out well
