I did WC last week and had the same dilemma with the 4.4m striker as I dont have BB left either, I went with Eduoard in the end instead of the 4.4m to try take advantage of the doubles coming up. There's a chance Leeds might have a double in 27 too so Raphina/Weighorst might have back to back doubles.

The Martinelli red last nite has scuppered some plans, down to this at the moment, one big decision to make

Ramsdale - Foster

TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - Dunk - Digne

Bruno - Bowen - Rapha - Ramsey

4.4m - Weghorst

Son & Maupay or Trossard & Kane

Kane's stats are through the roof and if he can start turning them into points he could fly. His xPts in particular blow Son out of the water

Even Wednesday nite he was ahead

Always prefer Son over Kane and gives you some extra cash to play with

Based purely on eye test, it’s son all day over kane

Son is the king of outperforming his stats though

Anyone hitting the Wildy button this week?

Ye I'm on the WC think I have the bones of the team put together and will be big at the back,

Fwd spots and GK spots proving bit trickier to put out

skippy15 · 29-03-2022 10:55PM

This is looking close to my WC for now

Mendy Foster

Trent Robertson Cancelo James Roberts

Salah Martin Kulu Havertz Gordon

Kane Weghurst Cucho

Big on defence, but it's hard not too I think, GK opted for Mendy over Ramsadale/ Pope

Fwd line with weg+ Cucho not happy on but alternatives are poor

Plan is to FH 33 and BB 36- or am I missing anything?

Cartman78 · 01-04-2022 09:33AM

Was very close to not bothering carrying on tbh but got sucked back in again....

Don't know if I'll do much more tinkering....initial plan was to have a bench fodder 4.5m striker but the busy schedule and the Covid numbers means than Cucho got the nod...at least it's not King :-)

Fitz* · 01-04-2022 02:26PM

Have you any wiggle room to go Mateta instead of Cucho? He could have nice run of games 34-38 including a DGW at some stage.

Despite my best intentions I've been messing about with the team all day...Mateta is on the watchlist alright, some subtle changes have led to this:

ElTel · 01-04-2022 05:03PM

On this atm.

0.6 itb

Guaita Foster

Cancelo Robertson James Chalobah Ayling

Havertz Bruno Son Raphinha Saka

Kane Pukki Gelhardt

@Cartman78 some very subtle changes that don't affect the structure of your team, which is good.

Madisson / Barnes is 50/50 anyways IMO. I think I'll try get Barnes eventually but happy to go with Madisson too.

It's then between who do you want - Pope or Mateta with Guaita & Cucho being the enabler. To make life harder for you, I would prefer Pope & Mateta! Pope has those DGWs and Burnley have more to gain from CS's that Palace have to gain from goals so I maybe the Burnley route is the better one? It may not work out that way but logic would be to have players from the teams with more to gain on the run in. What do Palace have to play for in the league? A top half place. They'll want the cup final too so rotation around that possibly.
