    Looking at Spurs fans tweets and Aurier can’t do 2 games so close right now? But KWP was t played and Sanchez at RB was widely frowned on

    I brought in Aurier at the weekend. I wanted to do Barnes to Abraham but to manage it I had to downgrade Otamendi to someone for 4.9m. I took a punt on Aurier in the hope he was going to get a run at the RB spot. I'm hoping his good performance against Palace, and the fact Spurs weren't great in his absence today, will see him get the nod against Leicester. I get the feeling Poch still isn't convinced by him though...

    Nothing I’m really desperate to do and have 2 transfers so need to use at least 1. Does Ederson and Pieters out for Pope and Otamendi seem reasonable? To save around 0.8 and basically leave me the same team and then decide next week what to spend the windfall on?

    Yeah they are really nice transfers, no loss of clean sheet potential and probably more chance of bonus, saves etc

    Any update on Mount? What’s the injury damage.

    There is no one I can transfer too. Do I hold & start Cantwell or is it long term injury?

    WC not used as first tempted.

    4pt hit - Ake to Rico, Greenwood to Pukki


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,126 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    Current team of

    Pope Norris

    Taa vvd amn Johnson guilbert

    Salah sterling Anderson Ricky mount

    Haller Wesley Gallagher

    Probably looking at keeping mount as it seems it'll be short term

    Anderson --> cantwell
    Gallagher --> kean/barnes

    Or

    Anderson --> maddison
    Johnson --> lundstram

    Have been tempted to wildcard but I can't find a team I'm happy to settle on yet

    Last I read he was hoping to be in for the Chelsea game. Doesn't appear to be long term but might be best to wait until Lampard's presser (might be tomorrow?)

    Gonna get rid of:
    Grealish - Mee - Coleman

    For:

    Engels / Vestagaard - Ricarlson - D Silva


    1 Ft and will cost 8 pts. Not sure I want to go down the wild card road yet. Any thoughts?

    James out
    Lamela in

    I think I know what I'm doing which is to take a punt on bringing in Aguero as I think he could be due one of his customary 20+ points hauls against Watford, and in general I just think is a safer bet for returns (when starting) than Sterling.

    I want to go heavy on City despite last week's slip up (have KDB too).

    Main decision is do I want to go:

    D.Silva + 4.5 defender (maybe Tomori from Chelsea)

    or Mount + Otamendi

    I think D.Silva is excellent value. Then again I do think City will churn out some cleanies, and Otamendi was a superb scorer two seasons ago. Capable of popping up with a goal or sneaking a bonus or too if City don't hammer the opposition. Otamendi safer too. Not really sure if Mount is the real deal though and likely I'll be bringing in Abraham after the Liverpool match.

    Guilbert has the right back slot fairly nailed at Villa for 4.4 as an Engels alternative

    No Aguero OR Sterling makes my teeth itch


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,020 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Was going to bring in PEA for kane but seeing him starting tonight has me concerned. Was going PEA and Zaha for kane and Mount who I don't think will be fit

    I was tortured with owning (and swapping) Aubameyang and Lacazette last year.

    There is no certainty with Emery and there’s every chance I’ll own neither this season because of it.

    If there was a manager there that would play them, every game, I’d strongly consider owning both of them.

    Bringing in Aguero is never a punt - he’s the most in form striker in an attacking team.

    On Dilvia - he’s great value but is he guaranteed his place every week ?

    There is no chance Auba doesn't start this weekend with Laca injured if that is your concern. It could affect his performance though. He's still a good choice for the next 10 GWs or so.

    Gave him the full 90 mins tonight too.

    No Aguero or Sterling is asking for a hiding imo

    It may be template, but id go Vardy to Aguero, and Son to someone like Cantwell


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,540 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Mount flag removed, now who to bench, mount, Cantrell or James.
    Mount v James big case of form v fixtures, with mount edging it?

    His flags not removed. And after checking around there's no update on his fitness.

    Still a major doubt for the weekend.

    King Kun is back in my team and all is now right with the world.


  • Registered Users Posts: 175 ✭✭yozico


    Any thoughts on Sterling + King to Lamela + Aguero?

    I think sterling is due a goal and he played PL - CL - PL at this stage last season so not nailed on to be rested. But Aguero is on form right now and I don't wanna miss out


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,182 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    King Kun is back in my team and all is now right with the world.
    Yeah Kun's a must. Only drawback is that Jesus is back which means a return to Aguero coming off with twenty/twenty-five minutes to go if City are cruising.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,020 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Kane and Mount out. Kun and Cantwell in. Captain kun


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    After flirting with the sideways move of Sterling to Aguero I've decided to play it simple this week. Robbo (have VVD already) to Otamendi & Haller to Pukki. I've left in late to this bandwagon but now as good a time as any


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 Noddy86


    Just seen that Martial out again. I've persevered with him since he got injured as I expected him back. I'll have to take a 4 point hit now to get rid. Otherwise I stick with what I have meaning gambling on Greenwood getting points.

    So... take a hit on MArtial to get D. Silva or an equivalent in or save the 4 points and gamble on Greenwood.

    Leno

    Mings
    Dunk
    Lundstram

    Salah (C)
    Sterling
    De Bruyne
    Neves

    Pukki
    Kane
    Greenwood

    Pope, Rico, Kelly, Martial
