2021/2022 Wildcard thread.

Steer is Villa, Steele is Brighton

Im set on Salah & Lukaku. So final decision is Trent or Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, Traore & Christensen

or

DCL, Greenwood & TAA

Team is:

Sa

Alonso White ?? (Duffy , Tino)

Salah Sarr Jota ?? (McArthur)

Lukaku Antonio ??

Fill in the blanks :)

Roll on the deadline to stop my changes. Keep flipping between a TAA team or dropping him for Lukaku.

Sanchez Steele

Matip Christensen Semedo Dier Duffy

Salah Torres Sarr Dallas Gilmour

Ronaldo Lukaku DCL

Yeah second option seems better but there are probably a few questions mark with players Jota, Greenwood, Alonso.

Im down to my final few players anyway & still contemplating. Like looking at Christensen & Tierney now over Alonso & White due to Alonso’s rotation risk. However going the Ronaldo route I get Christensen & I’d be happy to get 1 Chelsea defender on the field then at least.

Have taken my eye off the ball with team value, and am struggling a bit as a result. Current draft looks like :

Raya Steele

TAA Shaw Coady Christensen Livramento

Salah Jota Raphinia Gray Gilmour

Ronaldo Antonio Jimenez

Seeing people sticking with DCL.

Is he definitely going to start?

I weighed it up between him and Ronaldo. Think CR is a better pick given the likely goals he's likely to be involved in compared with Spurs. Read a lot about how Wolves were generally a "win by 1" team last few years under Nuno. Not a lot in it really, Kane will definitely be more of a differential now with Lukaku and CR in the game

I was thinking of doing the 3-4-3 and then the 4-3-3 in two transfers when Firmino looks like he'll start taking minutes off Jota. That might be the final decision!

If you were looking at nothing else accept fixtures this weekend, you would probably be looking at Ronaldo, Lukaku and Auba.

But Antonio's form is so good that be madness selling him.

Arsenals form in the league has been dire, though they have been hit bad with covid

Ronaldo will probably start the GW with top 10 ownership status - and who knows what his captaincy will be like

Stear playing in goals for Villa really could mean anything especially being away from home, Lukaku hasn't played a home fixture yet so will want to show Chelsea fans what he's about etc.

I may regret playing this WC now, but i feel that for almost all of my players i'm getting an upgrade, other than losing Bruno, will also be dropping Pogba - which not sure about - as he did say he aim for the season was to end up with most assists - and who better to have put Ronaldo to score for you. Never would have sold Son but news didn't sound good at the press conference.

Read some of Tuchel's comments on Alonso V Chilwell which put me right off him, sounds like a lot more rotation incoming, so have switched him for Shaw.

Also switched Dier to White to allow me upgrade Mendy to Sissoko. Figured with Torres and Greenwood I'll need a playing bench. Yes, I know I'm firmly anti-Arsenal but I'll give them a chance

Sa 

TAA, Shaw, White (Duffy, Livramento)

Salah, Torres, Greenwood, Gray (Sissoko)

Ronaldo DCL Antonio

Semedo is a tough one, he's 27 and hasn't been too prolific in his attacking output from what I can see on wiki and a site called transfermarkt. I'm far from a stats guru though so maybe someone else can give more insight on his attacking potential. Going with Coady saves 0.4 mill which would allow me to get B, Williams to White. It's a tough one as I think White is well worth picking up at 4.4 mill despite Arsenals start.

I think viable alternatives to Bissouma are Sissoko and Gilmour especially if they save you 0.1. Hold onto Bissouma if you got him at 4.5, you could make 0.1 if he rises again.

Done dusted!

Sa

TAA Tierney Christensen

Salah Jota Greenwood Sarrr

Lukaku DCL Antonio

Subs: Steer McArthur Tino Livramento

Tierney & Greenwood/Jota can become James & Raphina/Traore in a few weeks depending.

Good luck all

Yeah I’ve only got 0.1m left in the bank with my current draft. Realistically Brandon Williams is never going to play for me so I might swap him for Omo for the extra mil itb
