One more week here for me! I saw the highlights too and it was crazy he got nothing. No one else has him in my mini league and it’s quite infuriating, so let’s hope he does well against a weak Stoke defense

I’m keeping him for Chelsea’s full run of good fixtures, over time you will be rewarded.

I think I'll captain him if Shawcross is confirmed out.

One is going in the next days and one is going at the weekend. So who do you keep for one game week only?
Lukaku (SOU)
or
Aguero (cry)

Kun

United in terrible form currently

Will have to do something about not having a City defender.

Hopefully they’ll concede over the next week or two until I find a suitable time to bring in Stones when he’s back.

Have Kane at 12.7, do we think he'll drop back down to that price over the next few days with the blank? Anyone keeping him for the blank?

If I get rid and plan to get him back for the double, that's my two transfers tied up - no free wriggle room for unexpected injuries/suspensions or gettin anyone else for the double. I'm keeping him and never considered otherwise

After the last bit of advice I asked regarding whether or not to ditch Kane a couple of weeks ago, and ye had the temerity to tell me to keep him, I was thinking as I have one ft will I get Morata in for one week for Kane, then bring him back the following week. It will cost me .2m and -4 but would only have Kun and Quaner up front if I didn't.
Looking forward to your fine words of wisdom.
Kind regards.

I wouldn't. It'd cost you -4 and a ft which you could use elsewhere.
You'd need morata to score once to break even on points (a max gain of 3 if he got 3bps too).

You'd lose .2 and a ft in the process.

You'd really need morata to get 2 or 3 to make it worthwhile and of course this is possible but not worth the risk in my opinion unless you have absolutely nothing else to use ft on. But personally I'd hold ft and get in an extra spurs player (eriksen/alli/son) next week or even Arnie.

Yeah I recently got Stephen Fry reading the complete works of Sherlock Holmes on Audible, so expect more of the same.

Getting hazard and femenia for Alonso and sterling 4 gws ago for a -4 has ruined my season. Hazard 15 pts femenia became jaanmat for another -4 so I've basically got 0 from them. Alonso has 40 pts and sterling 45 pts in those 4 gws. There is a fair chance I would have captained sterling over sane 2 gws ago aswell which is another 10 pts. That move alone has cost me the guts of 80- 90 pts in 4 gws.

@ed_aarons: Everton agree £25m deal with Besiktas for Turkey striker Cenk Tosun #efc https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/28/everton-cenk-tosun-besiktas-turkey-striker

Was worried DCL might be rested at weekend but probably no need now as he won't be playing much after!

Scorpion Sting

Carlos Carvalhal confirmed as the new Swansea manager. He just got sacked by Sheffield Wednesday so this is a very strange appointment.

This probably a stupid question but anyway . I set up a new league to start next gameweek but i cannot see the code anywhere which obv i need to send to players. Anyone help?

Strange move possibly due to being a free agent and no compensation to be paid while planning a promotion push next year either way they are relegated

Elliott v Brighton or Pope v Hud?

Haven't been able to watch any games in a long time so I don't know if Burnleys defence still looks solid.

That would be an ecumenical matter.

From memory the code comes up as soon as you set up the league.Maybe best to set up a new(er) league with a slightly different name and copy the code as soon as it pops up.

Maybe best to consult Father H on the matter

Yes it does, I just created a league to see, code is there as per wonskis' post.

Western Pomise

Have kind of resigned myself to fact I won’t be fielding 11 this week,Benching Kane and hoping that either Surman or Mariappa get on the field.

Surman inj and Mariappa out of favour again.
