    Didn't get to watch them at the weekend but the points have really dried up. x2 blanks from Cantwell & Pukki. Considering Haller & McGinn as replacement, will definitely go for one. Think doubling up on Norwich was ambitious but their value is a big plus.

    They have 8 goals and 4 assists between them. With the exception of Pukkis goal at Anfield on the opening night, all have been in home games.

    Probably worth holding this week for Villa at home and re-assess then.

    Hayden and Douglas to move on gives me 9.2 itb and 2ft’s who are the best 4.5 ish midfielders do people think for my squad ?

    Pochettino is doing some work as manager. Converting Harry Kane to a centre mid and Son to a centre-half.

    It seems a waste replacing two 4.5 midfielders with like-for-like replacements.

    Just do Hayden to Dendoncker and save the other transfer.

    Yeah will hold another week and then see. Their injury list is still very worrying though

    Seem to be great at home for scoring points, terrible away

    I have Cantwell only and will probably only play him when they're playing at home.

    I'd keep one transfer instead of using them on your 2 low priority mid spots.
    Structurally, Greenwood needs an upgrade for when you want to play 3 at the back. If your happy to go with 4 at the back then one of Hayden/Luiz could be upgraded instead.

    Unless your doing an aggressive Mane/Greenwood to Mason/Abraham type move a single transfer that releases funds would be my suggestion with an eye on a double transfer during IB.

    One GK would release 0.5M for example.
    We have one 3.9M defender, a 4.3M mid and the cheapest forward is 4.4M atm.

    Ceballos -> McGinn might be my only move this week depending on tonight. Ceballos is the cheapest way into Arsenal, but a rotation risk whereas McGinn will play every game and is looking incredibly dangerous!

    Cebellos Zinchenko Maitland-Niles now all done for me. Too much rotation

    Hayden to Saka for me 4.5m Mid who starts for Arsenal tonight. Very impressive in the Europa League recently.

    I think Norwich lads will dry up, so wouldn't be getting them in if didn't have them.

    Don't see the love for Haller - 2 of his goals came against Watford who are terrible, and another goal v Norwich who can't defend. There are other assets in the west ham team giving better returns for cheaper.

    Unless PEA does something in the second half I'll probably get rid of him, superb player but in an awful team.

    Norwich are a bunch of homers. They just had 2 away games, hence the drought. They'll be consistent enough over the season and pose decent value for the money invested.

    Ceballos to yarmolenko - easiest transfer of the year

    He has pretty great upcoming fixtures right up until Christmas week. I’m toying with the idea to bring him in for Kun to help me get TAA in defence.

    Are you still selling after last night?

    Is Aguero and Mount > Sterling and Pukki.

    Norwich vs villa this weekend has me considering holding on to Pukki for 1 more week.

    And knowing my luck if I did press ahead with the transfer Pep will probably rest Aguero this gw.

    This format very much looks like you're buying Sterling and Pukki.

    I'd say not but still not convinced by Arsenal . He only gets a fraction of the chances Kun gets. He's nailed on which is more than can be said about Kun

    I'm actually thinking of something in the opposite- selling TAA in order to bring Auba in, alongside Aguero. May wait til after the Leicester game tho.

    Pulled my trigger on this. Annoying because he's on set-pieces when he's playing!

    Wildcard last week so holding my transfer. Keeping an eye on Pukki over the next few games, might have to ship him out as it looks like defences have figured him out. Hope I'm wrong.

    He didn’t take any/many last night
    Willock took all the corners when he came on

    True, he got very little ball last night. Can imagine it’s torture watching him when having him in your team. His stats along with fixtures seem very appealing. Not too pushed to get rid of Kun but Jesus is sniping around now and I’ve got KDB and Sterling.

    TAA would be handy to have too though I’ve VVD and a couple of tough fixtures coming up. I’ve still got the wildcard if I do get rid of Kun if he’s needed back.

    Yeah there looked to be a bit of uncertainty around that, didn't there? Cellabos was always running over to the corner flag, not to be the short option but shouting to take the corner.
