After today I'll have 4 players benched.

Nakamba long term, Lascelles back soon, but will probably lose place.

I think I'll hold Salah and sell Son.

Good luck all.

COH · 30-12-2023 11:06am

No hits

Areola

Porro - Colwill - Andersen

Salah (c) - Saka - Bowen - Palmer

Watkins - Alvarez - Solanke

- Gordon first/only sub.

Git rid of Haaland for Alvarez this morning. Had planned on keeping him and rolling the transfer but am happy to take a -4 next week if needs be to replace Salah/Digne for TAA/Anyone

shmeee · 30-12-2023 11:29am

Areola

Porro, TAA, Trippier

Salah (c), Palmer, Son, Ricky

Mr Crispy · 30-12-2023 12:13pm

Ended up not making any transfers this week, but took a silly punt on benching Saka and starting Sarabia instead. So when Saka hauls for the first time in ages, you know who to thank!

Cartman78 · 30-12-2023 12:13pm

Seems like a LOT of people have captained Alvarez 😬

On Wildy so I own him but backing Salah to haul against tired Newcastle

Also the same choice. Went will Salah. And looking at his EO, many did also.

Top 10k EO

Salah 150%

Alvarez 67%

Salah a bit lower EO around my rank of 850k.

F1ngers · 30-12-2023 12:43pm

Palmer - no assist

mobydopy · 30-12-2023 12:43pm

Palmer goal

shmeee · 30-12-2023 12:43pm

Palmer goal..... (No assist, awful defending by Luton to pass the ball to Palmer)

Sorry @Newbie20

Did you bench him?

Ace2007 · 30-12-2023 12:54pm

Palmer owned by decent % these days - I remember when he was a nice differential

Newbie20 · 30-12-2023 1:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121549915#Comment_121549915

I was so tortured with the decision that I ended up bench boosting 😂, the fear was too much. Also I hate that chip, I reckon there’s too much planning goes into it and points lost while planning for usually small enough returns so was happy enough to use it.

gammygils · 30-12-2023 1:09pm

Palmer you beauty

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121549983#Comment_121549983

And Palmer assist here now to help you even more. I said it during week, that a BB this week wouldn't be a bad move. 15/20 points and your away, half way to it and more already from 1.

shmeee · 30-12-2023 1:10pm

Madueke(Palmer)

callaway92 · 30-12-2023 1:10pm

Does this gameweek count towards December or January for monthly leaderboards?

normanoffside · 30-12-2023 1:11pm

I benched him 🤢

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121550005#Comment_121550005

Looking at my ML. He is on about 50% of benches ahead of me and I'm down around the 20's. Nice gain hopefully, but he's first sub so could come in for some.

Cartman78 · 30-12-2023 1:17pm

This is going to be a high scoring week....I can feel it in my bones*

*or I could be quasi delirious from all the medication I'm on for this focking flu/virus I've had for 3 weeks

Could be covid

shmeee · 30-12-2023 2:00pm

Looks like Sheffield are lining up with a back 10. This could be 90 mins game played in one half of the pitch.

KDB also in squad.

shmeee · 30-12-2023 2:02pm

PALMERRRRR goal (Jackson)

A finish of a striker through the middle.

mobydopy · 30-12-2023 2:02pm

Another goal for Palmer !!

Palmer is such a gift, pity never considered captaining

Xander10 · 30-12-2023 2:07pm

Chelsea CS gone

Varied out Luton goal

shmeee · 30-12-2023 2:12pm

Luton goal disallowed for offside, Chelsea CS stays intact for now. Good few Colwill owners about.

mobydopy · 30-12-2023 2:13pm

Luton goal

That was coming. Hard watch as a Colwill owner

Scrap that

Barkley goal now scored

ForestFire · 30-12-2023 2:16pm

Was hanging in there for 6pts, though I'd get lucky, but Luton got 1 in the end

Ace2007 · 30-12-2023 2:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121550184#Comment_121550184

still 18 points from one is great start to week. Main rival doesn’t have him.

Xander10 · 30-12-2023 2:20pm

Adebayo 2-3

gammygils · 30-12-2023 2:25pm

Palmer haul

Noice. On for an 18 pointer but well down the pecking order for Captaincy this week I reckon

Ace2007 · 30-12-2023 2:28pm

Gusto yellow so will end up on 0 points - can’t remember who was thinking of starting him - hopefully they didn’t

Newbie20 · 30-12-2023 2:29pm

Colwill with a clean sheet with 10 to go and ending up with 1 point is standard Colwill!

ForestFire · 30-12-2023 2:29pm

Gusto brings him down to 0 ....Lovely

mobydopy · 30-12-2023 2:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121550273#Comment_121550273

He’s been so frustrating to own

Cartman78 · 30-12-2023 3:06pm

Possible Brentford goal...Keane Lewis-Potter

mailburner · 30-12-2023 3:06pm

lewis potter for brentford or rather Andersons cleanie gone even quicker than usual

mailburner · 30-12-2023 3:16pm

rodri foden assist

surely ederson finally gets a cleanie here 😂

shmeee · 30-12-2023 3:19pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121550415#Comment_121550415

The softest assist we will see today, heavy touch and he is as good as fouled and balls falls to Rodri.

Cartman78 · 30-12-2023 3:27pm

Kilman goal.....he was in my wildcard team for about 0.5 nanoseconds

Cartman78 · 30-12-2023 3:29pm

Olise (Ayew)

shmeee · 30-12-2023 3:30pm

Bailey (Watkins)

Watkins pass across box, not even sure if it was ment for Bailey. Good finish then.
