    He is very bad at football. He has been blessed to have the run that he did in that team.

    Bugger. Just bought him as a little luxury transfer, exactly 2 weeks ago.

    Maybe you will get the Norwich game out of him next week. Feels like the sort of game that is just destined for him to be marauding up that left wing with no regard for anything else going on around him. I think if I had a free hit in GW36 he would be in my team as long as I made sure I had a playing sub on my bench.


    I'd wait til GW37 to do that transfer out.

    Cheers. I ditched Doherty instead anyway. Meant I could afford Doherty to Digne and Jiminez to Vardy.

    Best of luck. I still don't know what I will do. I have to wait for the Ramsdale/Aurier/Lascelles/KDB injury news tomorrow. If all in order, there is an outside chance that I may still go Jesus to Vardy but I really don't think I will now.

    Also he can only run in 1 direction and it's away from his own goal which isn't the best trait for a defender.

    I brought in Vardy already for Auba but now I really want Salah but it would take a -8

    So am thinking I could get around that by FHing this week. Will I really want Vardy after this week? Not really SU, Spurs United. But I will want Ings.
    I also won't want Salah against Arsenal and Chelsea


    So looking at a FH team of

    Fab v Norwich
    VVD v Burnley
    PVA v v Villa (FH PUNT)
    Cresswell v Norwich

    Antonio v Norwich
    Mane v Burnley
    Salah v Burnley
    Bruno v Southampton
    Sterling v Brighton

    Greenwood v Southampton
    Vardy v Bournemouth

    Thoughts?

    Think thats a great FH team. Not sure Id double up on WH defence the only issue.

    Rashford/Saka to Vardy/4.4 worth a -4?

    Have ended up taking a -8 cos I did two free early transfers this week, Auba to Vardy Saka to Pulisic. Subsequent events have me doing Mahrez to Salah and Rashford to Greenwood. Didn't want to get rid of Mahrez but Salah > Mahrez and Greenwood is a no brainer. Hope he is cheap next season!

    I'm 0.1 short to stretch to Justin of Leicester

    I could do a risky Eric Garcia + Williams (United) + Lamptey (Brighton) and hope one of the first two plays

    Hard to make much progress at the moment with a lot of people having quite similar teams. The obvious move is to get Vardy in for Kane but I imagine a lot of players will have a similar plan

    Would you have enough for United defender + Martinez instead of double West Ham?

    Fab v Norwich
    VVD v Burnley

    I prefer that team
    I’d go with PVA
    I am considering him as my actual transfer in
    Aston Villa look like they might never score again !

    Would you not be worried about TAA and/or KDB being rotated?
    Robbo got his rest this week
    Mane and Sterling will defo start

    You are going to run into this problem every week for now
    What you have to be careful of is not picking players you normally would who have an excellent fixture just because they might not play
    TAA and kdb fall into that category

    Listen out to pep on kdb later all the same .
    However free hit can set some traps.........

    James Justin in for Alonso I think. He looks dangerous going forward and Aurier got a huge amount of time and space on the right flank last night so think there's a decent chance of an assist and a cleany. My team is in good shape and I have 2 transfers and Alonso has to go so I'm happy to bring in Justin even if it's possible I only play him this one match (prob will play him in 36 too though).

    Then I'm in two minds between banking, and taking a punt on Iheanacho. Would mean benching Foden. Seems kind of unnecessary as a transfer and rolling a free into next week would give me more wiggle room, and it's not like Foden is a bad option at all even if he comes off the bench. But Iheanacho is getting into great positions, he has an XG90 of 0.60 and really good returns. Would possibly cover me a bit against those who have Vardy if Leicester trounce Bournmouth.

    Leaning towards banking right now. Would also give the funds to upgrade Foden to D.Silva which I might want to do at some point, he's looking very involved and you expect might play a bit more coming to the end of his time.

    I need help, Salah killed me this week. I have this front 8:

    KDB - Foden - Bruno - Martial - Pulisic
    DCL - Vardy - Jimenez

    I also have De gea, so 3 united players. I have used my FT this week but now I’m having thoughts of getting rid of Jimenez and Martial for Greenwood and Salah/Mané for a -8.

    I am about 8 points up on my main league but will get killed if Liverpool clean up again since our teams are so similar but I’m without Pool cover. Does this make sense or should I leave the team as is for this week? Also, why is Mané so unpopular? Thinking of getting him over Salah and captaining since he was rested this week.

    Less of a certainty now I've slept on it!

    Mahrez and Kane to Salah and Ings for a -4 is tempting. It's probably a week early (yeah, about 20 weeks to late I know!) for Ings, but he will surely match Kanes 2 points :pac:

    Will Salah outscore Mahrez by 4 points?

    Have the funds for Jimi/DCL out for Vardy/Ings for a hit. Might just pull the trigger on it
    The irony is that I sold Vardy and Ings to get Kun for the DGW

    Which teams do we think are reliable defensively for the runin? I may need to replace Aurier depending on the press conference so I’m looking at someone 5.2 or below who I’ll be able to just plug and play for the last 4 weeks without wanting to make any more defensive transfers after this point.

    He was directly at fault for the West Ham winner 2 weeks back, 88th minute, didn't make any attempt to track Yarmalenko back, leaving the West Ham box they were alongside each other, by the time they got to the Chelsea box there was 40 yards behind him. Would be surprised if he ever plays for Chelsea again

    What's up with Aurier?

    Wolves despite their downturn still look solid at the back and have reasonable fixtures. Leicester have a nice next 2 at least. It might depend on whetehr you want to play them every game or rotate them in

    Kdb and Fernandes could ruin you
    Whatever about kdb there isn’t a single doubt Fernandes will start
    And will probably be involved in whatever goals united score
    Be wary of FH traps ......
    I would question the amount of money you have spent on double pool mids tbh
