Gameweek 8 Matchday Thread

KdB

If you willing to spend 11.9m on KdB, Mane would probably be a better choice - his form has gone largely under the radar due to his price tag, but only Salah and Vardy have more goals this Season. Mane will play in 95% of the gams this season - KdB who knows - could be 75%??

Chelsea don't seem to play to Lukaku's strengths - Werner looks to be more involved this season than Rom, not sure how they fix that. Maybe there problem is that they have too many top class players and they get into a rhythm with Lukaku - next week you could have Ziyech, Jorginho and CHO starting -too much chop and changing.

Ronaldo's problem is more that United as a team are all over the place, defensively they are poor, (personally think Maguire is the main problem but he's never going to be dropped) which given Ronaldo doesn't press defenders means that he's a passenger when he's not go the ball as he's not defending from the front. I'm going to see how they get on in the next few games now that Rashford is back - if he's fit enough to start that might make bit of a difference. Liverpool, Spurs, City, Chelsea, Arsenal in the next 6 games - big games and no excuses for them - sometimes big players turn up in big games - he's hoping.

57 with White and Gallagher left. Not too bad but sickened I got Reece James in for Rudiger instead of Chilwell.

Is it too knee jerky to reverse that now? Or hold James and hope he makes up the points in the coming weeks…

41 with White/Antonio/Benrahma/Digne to play. Will get 3 points off the bench from Tsimikas/Sarr for Raphinha/Alonso. Jimenez not starting was an awful pain and my own fault for not factoring the international break in when I got him in the week before last.

Nice big red arrow as thing stand ... my -4 last week to get Rudiger and Alonso in proving to be an anti-FPL masterstroke!

Everton — Pickford, Digne, Keane, Godfrey, Coleman(C), Iwobi, Allan, Doucouré, Townsend, Gray, Rondón.

West Ham — Fabiański, Cresswell, Ogbonna, Zouma, Johnson, Rice(C), Souček, Fornals, Benrahma, Bowen, Antonio.

Frustrating how often he gets booked

I was hoping for a goalfest in this one...I'm all out after Townsend and Antonio.

Could do with the Spacecraft launching in the next 20 mins

Ogbonna goal

So much for Son having Covid...

Might be time to move on Benrahma. 3rd blank in a row

Not a great week for strikers ... a filthy Kane haul is overdue

Ndombele (Reguilon)

Kane (Hojbjerg)

Back underway - Fan stabilised and on way to hospital

Son (Kane)
