Why are people so sure Sancho wont start saturday? Did i miss something?

Cartman78 · 11-08-2021 12:23pm

Would you go with Raphina and Toney, or Spacecraft and Iheanacho?

Not sure why I've ended up with that obscure conundrum but these things happen :-)

I wouldn't be fond of either duo, but would 100% go with Raphina and Toney

Only a madman would consider the latter over the former.

Cheers...trying to inject some element of differential into my squad but on mature reflection I'll play it safe until a probable early Wildcard

Latest draft. Benrahma, Antonio, Wilson, Barnes and Mbuemo all on my radar aswell. Decisions decisions.

Any feedback appreciated! :)

SeamusAFA · 11-08-2021 1:17pm

Sanchez Steele

Shaw TAA Tsimikas White Manquillo

Salah, Zaha, Grealish, Smith Rowe, Gilmor

Kane, Ings, Antonio

Latest draft, think I am quiet happy with it.

Depending on Lukaku price I may change him for Kane and upgrade Zaha.

Ace2007 · 11-08-2021 1:21pm

^^^ Will Kane play this weekend, if not that's a right pain,

Grealish/Smith Rowe may have rotation issues, not sure if spending 8m is wise on a player that is going to be in/out of a team over the next few weeks.

Father Hernandez · 11-08-2021 1:30pm

Right I'm settled and happy with this.

Sanchez (Steele) - Brighton GK's, cheap, hopefully do okay.

Tsimikas, TAA, Rudiger (White, Amartey) - Tsimikas at 4.0 is too good to turn down. TAA should have a big season. Rudiger for the high potential Chelsea CS this weekend, may keep for Arsenal the following week and swap out for Shaw in GW3. White/Amartey are grand, cheap defenders.

Salah, Bruno, Mahrez, Benrahma (Gilmour) - Salah the obvious (C) choice. Bruno is Bruno. Mahrez should start the season and focal to City's attack. Bit of a punt but feels safer over Grealish. Benrahma is a differential with a good pre season and decent fixtures.

Toney, Ings, Antonio - Have a feeling Brentford will turn Arsenal over on Friday, Toney in front of a home crowd, first PL game. FOMO not having him, easy swap out if he doesn't start well. Ings, proven PL goalscorer in a good side, wary of him and Watkins sharing points but confident at that price. Interesting to see if he is on pens. Antonio when fit is a great FPL option. Nice fixtures too.

Any feedback appreciated!

Manquillo won't get minutes I don't think as a 4.0 option. Would you go for Tsimikas or Amartey? Better chance to get minutes.

I like the Zaha punt. Kane is a punt too, not sure he will start tbh, rumours it'll be Son up front. Lot of money for a player not to get minutes.

What do you consider the "easy swap out" if Toney flops?

SeamusAFA · 11-08-2021 1:44pm

Manquillo will me 3rd sub so not too worried if he doesn't start. I can get rid after week 1 or 2.

Kane is a worry I will make that call Friday about 10mins before the deadline lol

al87987 · 11-08-2021 1:45pm

Any thoughts? Dele Alli is a gamble but I think he might start under Nuno and if he can get back to anywhere near where he was then he's a bargain.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117737702#Comment_117737702

I was very close to getting Dele Alli in but im gonna see how he plays against city first

al87987 · 11-08-2021 1:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117737719#Comment_117737719

Yeah I can see that, I'm not gonna judge him too harshly against City though.

Heh :)

But if Iheanacho plays he would outscore Toney, and it's a question of what time period we're discussing, cos Spacecraft could start quicker than Raphinha... but obviously not long-term

11-08-2021 2:26pm

I like Townsend myself and think he’ll prove to be a very good signing for them but Iheanacho is not guaranteed to start so that’s what made the decision easy.

Father Hernandez · 11-08-2021 2:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117737690#Comment_117737690

Plan would be to move him on for a 4.5 fodder and upgrade Gilmour to someone like Raphinha/Buendia.

Jack the snipe · 11-08-2021 3:12pm

What's people's thoughts on Fabainski? Would he be a guaranteed starter now that west ham have also got Areola?

Fitz* · 11-08-2021 3:18pm

Martial himself has spoken about his fitness issues now also.

Benimar · 11-08-2021 3:38pm

Still 2 days to go and I keep flip flopping. The logical thing is to include Bruno which gives:

Sanchez/Steele

TAA, Shaw, White. Tsimikas, Amartey

Salah, Fernandes, Mahrez, Harrison, Gilmour

Antonio, Ings, Toney

However, if I was to be brave (stupid?) and leave Bruno out my team would be:

Sanchez/Steele

TAA, Shaw, White. Tsimikas, Amartey

Salah, Son, Mahrez, Barnes, Gilmour

Antonio, Ings, Wilson

castletownman · 11-08-2021 5:12pm

Sweating over Kane now. I am happy to keep him in reserve till his future is confirmed, but want to hit the ground running. Starting Iheanacho and Toney up front in a 4-4-effing-2, but I genuinely can't see any higher priced alternative to bring in short-term.
