First year involved in a money league with a 2 point lead going into gw38.Would love any input in case I'm making an obvious error here 2FT (+1M in the bank) in hand and rival has one FT Last GW I brought in Greenwood to try and block a differential of his. If I had a bigger lead I'd probably do the same and block 2 more of his differentials but at 3 points it doesn't seem worth it ATM I haven't a solid plan but Dallas seems like the most obvious one to bring in. I expect he'll bench Digne away to MCI and bring Phillips off the bench. GK is an obvious weakness for me as Liverpool will almost certainly score so could switch if there's a strong contender. I expect Martinez isn't getting the CS against Chelsea though so maybe not a position where ground would be lost In Mid will wait and see if there is any hints on the UTD lineup but otherwise can't see a change worth making since we have so many common players, unless I go fck it, throw in a differential and risk a UTD midfield points haul Up front seems like the most potential for a swing either way. Watkins and Iheanacho did well for me gw37 and could see both getting returns

I also have two players the definitely wont play: Maguire, Jota Two players that might not play: Bruno, Shaw And two players I dont want to start: Watkins, Konsa Priority at this stage is to remain in the top 10k as have never finished in it before. Liverpool defence seems a must, TAA @7.8mil now is doable if downgrade Jota to fodder but still feels like team is left with considerable gaps if Bruno/Shaw are rested.

I don't think the points return on keeper merits using a FT Will hold off until sunday lunch in the hope of some news but for now it's looking like: Shaw -> Dallas Watkins -> Bamford If we get some team news on UTD in time then I might leave Watkins and put in Raphina for either Bruno/Greenwood Could bring in all 3 Leeds options but a -4 in this situation sounds like madness considering Watkins could easily score at home to CHE

That’s double palace defence against a team chasing goals for a top four spot Bruno is the major differential there for me Shaw & Bruno -> Dallas & Mane/Auba
x43r0 wrote: » Yeah fair points - TBH the front line is not where changes are most needed I think it just boils down to which utd player is less likely to play but I'd be stunned if that's not Bruno As a lfc fan I've watched every min of Mane playing and he's just not himself this season so have stayed away. I wouldn't have thought to touch Auba with a barge pole - What gives you confidence in him? Would have though Raphina was the more obvious MID pick

Guaita -> Casilla Shaw -> Dallas Bruno -> Mane That gives up the 2pt lead to start on 2 behind but Guaita is about as certain as you can be to not get anything at anfield and Bielsa confirmed Casilla to play

CSF wrote: » I don’t think the idea of a good differential is to pick someone who has been quite bad. There has to be someone your opponent does have who has been good/potentially explosive. Aubameyang has been awful and playing one of the better defences in the league, you’re kind of left relying on him to have a lucky throwback day to old times. Raphinha? Mane? Firmino?
Fitz* wrote: » Depending on your money and players, you could do something like Bruno/Maguire/Jota -> Mane/Trent/Willock for a -4. You could even chance Sterling starting this game too, instead of Mane. Sterling didn't play the last league game and probably won't start the CL final either.
ArmaniJeanss wrote: » Why don't you want to start Watkins? This is potentially a good game for him. He has been a steady points getter (as well as being terribly frustrating, and unlucky at times) and there are scenarios on Sunday which could make this a great game for him - e.g., Liverpool/Leicester winning in the second half meaning Chelsea have to go uncharacteristically gung-ho. Grealish back is also a plus. With your current team, I'd be perfectly happy starting him and instead fix your other issues.
trigger26 wrote: » I've got Raphina and have 2 differential forwards, Mane is a good shout, the other option is getting rid of Shaw for a leeds/ pool defender, that's a real neggy move I'd prefer not to make, the more I think of it, Fernandes might be good to hang onto
CSF wrote: » Robertson might not be that negative. High chance of a clean sheet and tbh are Aubameyang’s chance of an attacking return really significantly higher than Robertson’s at this stage?
Morzadec wrote: » Looking at his team, I have some coverage but where he really could hurt me is with his Leeds players. So I'll bring in Bamford and Dallas for Digne and Iheanacho as a defensive/blocking move. 4pt hit doesn't seem worth it for one week only but both those players are capable of hitting 15pts or so, so think I need to block them.
