    It was a small injury that kept him from playing a match a few days before.

    I tend to listen to a lot of the manager interviews and read into what they are saying. Usually I get it spot on with injuries, but I thought there was a serious chance of Abraham being on the bench and only used if Chelsea were struggling late on. Maybe I missed something, but I took from Lampard that Abraham was still struggling even if he was back in training.
    Oh I agree, I took a gamble cos Lampard said they'd give him every chance which tipped me towards starting him.

    It's also very easy in hindsight, plus just cause someone sold Abraham it doesn't mean it was the wrong decision, Ings, Rashford, Jimenez are all in better form, some folk even went with Jesus.

    Oh I know, I just think people rush transferring players out without researching first.

    Probably over thinking this :D

    Just checked fplstatistics there and Abraham is already back up to 60% to a rise in price after being close to a drop before playing last night. Could cost more for anyone waiting to bring him in with that rate of a rise.

    Selling Lacazette so money no problem.

    The Abraham injury could have been anything.

    There was going to be 3 games in 7 days.

    I don’t believe a word out of any managers mouth

    Selling, for me, was the right thing to do.

    One injury can lead to another.

    Wasted move, in hindsight, but I’m not unhappy with the call.

    Soyuncu all day


    What are people's thoughts on Liverpool players? No game in week 19. Want to dump Sterling for Mane, but don't want 2 or 3 players not having a game that week.

    Maybe Sterling for Alli now, and then alli for Mane after world club games??

    Careful, I think it's GW 18 they have no game, not 19.
    They have Watford GW 17 So I think I'll want to keep Mane for that

    Lundstram has started every GW for me this season, with the exception of the away game at Anfield, and he’ll continue to do so.

    If you own him start him. Well that’s how I’m rolling.

    I'd play Lundstram.

    Villa have only been held scoreless twice since August, and one of those was against City. I'd back them to score against Leicester.

    I’m the same, brought in Jesus and still happy enough with that. Jimmi might actually make way for Rash or Tammy in the next week or two

    Need some advice. Current team is:
    Pope
    Robbo Lundy Soy
    Mane Son Maddison Mount
    Vardy Jimi Jesus

    Stek Tomori Douglas.L Lowton

    2ft and 0.8m to spend.

    Could maybe just fix up the bench for housekeeping?

    Or go a bit more aggressive and do something like Mount/Jesus to Alli/Abraham or KdB/Ings?

    No idea what to do. Could just be safe and go Lowton to Kelly and reassess next GW. But have 100 points to make up in my ML.

    Looking at a pre-Christmas rejig of Aubameyang, Saka, and Janmaat out to bring in Mousset, Son and Aurier in for an 8 point hit.

    Anyone think I’m being hasty with any of those hits or can suggest better use of those funds? I’m beginning to think with Mousset being as productive as he has been, that the 5th midfielder as a cheapie isnt even a justifiable option anymore.

    I think your final option is the best one and for at least a couple of reasons.

    It’s always good to prepare for the festive and tidying up your bench will do that.

    I wouldn’t double up on Spurs just yet.

    Mount has been sold heavily recently so is kinda a differential and Jesus is one.

    So if you’re chasing they are good options.

    Having 2 FT’s next week will feel good too.

    I would definitely try and jettison those 3 and I think buying Son and Aurier is a great idea.

    I’m just not in love with the Mousset move. Would you be playing him ? Can you stretch to ings ? Big stretch I know.

    Yeah cheers. Think it's a good shout!
    Looking at next week's fixtures I'd like Tammy back though. So it would be Jesus or Jimi to go.

    Is Kelly the best sub 4.5m option? Or is that another transfer in a few GWs. Maybe a Newcastle def?

    I already have Ings (until I decide to go back to Abraham probably next week) haha. Mousset would be last on my list to play.

    I’m looking at a midfield of Son, Maddison (for the timebeing), Mane, De Bruyne and Zaha. Up front would eventually be Vardy and Tammy with Mousset as the cheap 8th option (who will become necessary in Liverpool’s blank week and inevitable Christmas rotation at all teams).

    May be worth holding off on the Martial rage transfers. Solskjaer says he may play some minutes against City which indicates his injury is minor. He has a nice run of games (Everton, Watford, Newcastle, Burnley) after City so maybe if you have a decent squad bench him this week and then bring him back for that nice run of games.

    I wouldn't sell Jesus, hes a huge differential and has big hauls in him. Hes a hold until Aguero comes back

    Got stung by PVA this week. Then ended up with a Rico 9 pointer on my bench too.

    Tempted for a -8, but not pulled the trigger yet -
    PVA --> Aurier
    Rico --> Kelly
    Connolly --> Jesus

    Would leave my team this weekend as -
    Henderson
    Aurier, Soyunchu, Kelly
    Maddison, Mane, Son, Pulisic
    Vardy, Tammy, Jesus

    I think it’s a question, but not that big of one. A draw puts them through in Salzburg on Tuesday.

    Agreed. Same with TAA. Liverpool can afford Gomez at RB more on Tuesday than tomorrow, as they can take a draw in the CL.
