    Fairly sure im set on bringing in Bamford for Calvert Lewin at this stage Midfield is my issue.

    Who would yous take out from Lingard Greenwood and Bruno?

    That one is hard enough for me atm but then who would I even bring In! Haha.

    Bruno as hes not playing -if im wrong itll be terrible management from ole playing him in a dead rubber with a final on wed

    greenwood outside chance hell play

    I'm gonna hold out as long as I can in hope Ole gives some kinda info before Sunday or at least someone on Twitter.

    One of them will start im sure more likely Greenwood but thing is if you drop Fernandes and he plays your at a major risk as he's massively owned.

    I have bruno myself but will ship him out for either mane or auba -another issue is brunos playing crap lately and may do nowt away to wolves -get rid my advice

    Any bleeding word will Forster be starting this GW?

    A lot of people are thinking Forster gets the last game ahead of McCarthy who has been fairly disappointing over the course of the season.

    Ben Dinnery for instance thinks Hassenhuttl will go with the big man:

    Might just take the risk seeing as I've a fairly big lead in money league and doubt I can catch 1st in my other main league.

    Might get some news in the press conference, but as Scorpion Sting syas it's looking hopeful.

    Ralph said he'd give them a couple of games each. Forster played 2, now McCarthy has played 2. So you'd think McCarthy has had his 2 and it's back to Forster. Also apparently McCarthy was poor for two recent goals. Also a recent penalty save for Forster probably does him no harm

    So fingers crossed. I'm relying on Forster with Meslier's surprise benching catching me out.

    Hassenhuttl had his presser at lunchtime and didn’t mention the goalkeeper situation but based on the rotation pattern he’s adopted you’d have to imagine Forster gets this game.

    One of the things I’m finding myself having to fight in my head, and others probably suffering this same thing, is this idea of last day of the season deja vu.

    Almost as if all the games we’ve watched this season go out the window now, and we remember the season when some random guy like Batshuayi banged a monster haul on the final day, and go try and figure out who that’s gonna be.

    Guys like Nicolas Pepe, Dwight Gayle, Said Benrahma. They’re the left field choice that you might see people punting on this week.

    But I think the ignores that the pool of players who may come up with this haul basically encompasses every attacking player of any description. And the other thing is that you basically have an unexpected player get a double digit haul in nearly every gameweek.

    Important to continue to make sensible choices while pursuing the right amount of good differentials to achieve your specific aims. Someone please remind me of this post if I’m on here Sunday morning thinking of pawning off a probably rested Bruno for Martinelli.

    Bielsa said that the intention is for Casilla to play. Unless you can get Alisson I probably wouldn’t use a transfer to add a keeper to that BB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,015 ✭✭✭✭Degag


    Would like to get a City midfielder in but unless there is some solid team news think it might be too risky.

    Could go Mane but then i'd potentially have 3 Leeds and 3 Liverpool which is a bit of a risk also!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭but1er


    16 points behind and rattling my mind how to close the gap. 5 mil in the bank

    Obvious one is dcl out and Bamford or kun in and captain

    The left field idea I'm looking at captaining a defender if they keep a clean sheet the gap is 4 points. We both have Shaw and Phillips the two difference is Chilwell and cancelo to my holding and dallas.

    Double up with liverpool and get Robbo or TAA in? Or Dallas captain and bring in one of the above and not captain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭hawaii501


    Rashford to Mahrez my only transfer.

    Winning both money leagues by over 200 pts so nothing to worry about :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,783 ✭✭✭893bet


    Kane to firmino. Bobby is a big game player. And this is a huge game. Only worry is pool score early and protect that rather than trying to win 3-0.

    If you're looking to captain a defender to bridge that 16 point gap then Dallas would seem a good punt. Leeds have had 4 clean sheets from their last 5 games and Broms playmaker Pereria might be injured, we should hear by tomorrow if he will start as he has a fitness test this moring

    I was going to captain TAA but Dallas is an interesting shout as I'm also chasing, I'm now tempted to

    I think they are both good shouts for captain if you are chasing but Dallas edges it for me as he tends to get deep inside the box a fair bit more than Trent. Trent is on free kicks but Im not sure if he has even scored one this season, Ive seen him hit the target a few times but it was always saved.

    The stats this season say Trent for assists, Dallas for goals
    TAA 2 goals 8 assists
    Dallas 8 goals 3 assists

    Its still an outside bet if either of them score but if they did and kept a clean sheet it would rack up 24 points as a captain pick. An assist+clean sheet would land 18

    Jota will train today and may play tomorrow.

    I’d say he will be on the bench at best. Salah, Mane and Firmino might have been ahead of him even if he had properly trained since Burnley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,769 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    CSF how do you see the Villa Chelsea game going? Few people saying Chelsea will see through the win to secure CL but Villa looked decent enough against an admittedly awful Spurs. If its an open game it could be pretty interesting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Son to Grealish has lodged as an idea in my brain?

    8.7 to spend on a midfielder

    Great help cheers. Dallas it is now who to use the transfer on..

    -4 DCL, Richarlison and Bruno to Bamford, Antonio and Salah. Let's go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,264 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Is Digne & DCL to Dallas & Bamford worth a hit? In a normal week, I'd have no reservations doing it but I'm about 100 places away from top 100k now, will be a bit sickened if I don't make it.

    Everton have been good defensively away from home and they have something to play for. How will City line up? Hard to say, but it's rare enough they fail to score at home, and will have fans in the stadium, + the Sergio factor (they'll want him to score). Dallas is a great pick CS and attacking potential, I don't have him I'm hoping somehow Struijk can match him :o

    I think I would do it because it is a positive move to two in form players over two players where you dont really know what you are going to get especially away to a City team doing a victory lap.

    Whether or not the -4 points get repaid is a bit of a coin toss on Dallas keeping a clean sheet and hopefully Bamford scoring. But I would back Dallas and Bamford to outscore DCL and Digne. DCL can score in any game but in this one he is likely to be up against Ruben Dias who is a monster in the air and tends to win any high balls into the box, its his bread and butter which isnt good news for DCL.

    How many points off 100k are you?

    I have Struijk but he was benched last game and only came on at half time - Is there any clue that he will start this weekend?

    Will Dias play though? Gundogan went off injured in the last game, last thing pep wants is for Dias to get injury in a nothing match - could be likes of Ake, Garcia in defence - especially as Garcia is probably leaving at end of this season.
