Ederson - keeper so wouldn't expect rotation
Otamendi was apparently a rotation risk. Hasn't happened. Other centre halves have all been injured so hard to tell.
Walker the same. Mendy got injured but signs are he wouldn't have
Fernandiho KDB. Started all games.
Davis Silva has missed games due to premature birth of child not rotation.
Sterling rotated twice maybe????
Sane when available rotated very little.
Aguero and jesus were the 2

So vast majority of team not rotated. 2 strikers for one position lead to inevitable rotation.
Mourinho has rotated his midfield options much more for example.

The LACK of rotation caught people out more than rotation imo.........

Can't argue with proof.

This guy is OR 71 and has not had Salah or Kane all season.
S/he took their only hit in GW28.

His/her captain choices have been excellent in 9 of the last 10 weeks but I lost all respect for them when I seen they wc'd in gw22 .casuals.

That is....unreal. Facking hell. How did you find this team and know they never owned Salah and Kane?

This week was their third time in the top 8k in a single GW this season.

Some of the DGW TC options are a bit underwhelming alright so it's not that crazy, although Salah at home to Bournemouth in GW34 might be more appealing maybe

I'm leaning towards this week as I think he will be everyones captain so its my best way to make desperately needed ground

I’m thinking 34 Cos he will be nobodies captain and therefore make more ground ........

Interesting....

So in my own head at this minute, the TC options are narrowing down to:

1) Salah (BOU)
2) Lukaku (WBA, whm)
3) Lukaku (bha, bou)
4) Son/Alli/Kane (wba/bha)
5) Mahrez (WHM/SOT)



Probably leaning towards Lukaku in GW34 - West Brom are doomed, and West Ham away are both doomed and toxic

Note: I have had zero success with TC Chip in 2 seasons - blew it on Aguerooo last year in the early DGW (1 goal and a blank IIRC), and was an unfortunate passenger on the Andy Carroll TC Bus the previous year (2 blanks and a booking I think)

Ooohhh that mahrez one is very tempting I must say
Can BB in 34 as planned then
Probably be his last home game for them as well

Anybody but Lukaku for the TC for me. I'd like more than 12 points.

21 points combined in the ‘reverse’ fixtures. I’d take a 63 point TC.

I’m far from a Lukaku fan, but he has a reputation as a flat track bully and the two teams he’s playing are both stink.

Ah ya, i wasn't being totally serious. Still haven't forgotten blowing the tc on him a couple of years ago, both teams stank then too as far as I remember.

Lukaku's DGW fixtures that season were Watford away and Crystal Palace away, teams that lay 15th and 16th in the table at the time.

That Lukaku one is tempting

Do you have 2 FT ? If so you better ask if it carries over ............

The answer is still no

I'd be going All Out Attack if I were you ... especially given the delighful choice of forwards to choose from this GW

Happy for him. And happy with him.

Still reckon I could have done a job there.
Not a good one, but a job of some soft.

According to my updated save of Championship manager 01/02 he will get to the League Cup Quarter Final next year.


So I will definitely be picking three Saints players in the fpl next season

2nd Row Donkey

Happy wild card day lads.

(the flags and bunting that some people have up are a bit over the top though).

-=al=-

Probably going to forget to do the WC later tbh

Not the day to be figuring out a team for 34!

...I take it back... I gave it a whirl and ended up with this:pac:

These 3 seem decent

A.

DdG Ryan

VvD Naughton Lowton Dummett Alonso

Salah Sterling Mahrez Son Mkhitaryan

Aubamayang Firmino Barnes

B.
DdG Ryan

VvD Naughton Lowton Dummett 6.6 defender

Salah Sterling Mahrez Son Mkhitaryan

Aubamayang Firmino Murray

C.
DdG Ryan

VvD Naughton Lowton Dummett Dunk/Tarkowski

Salah Sterling Mahrez Son King

Aubamayang Firmino Lukaku

Any preferences? BB in 34, FH in 35, and TC in 37.

Hi all,appreciate a quick bit of advice,
Squad is
Courtois /Speroni
Davies,Francis,Mariappa,Smalling,Mbemba
Salah,Shaquiri,Walcott,Surman,GroB
Augbamayang,Vardy,Firmino.

Have a good bit of deadwood there especially in defence:)

I used Free Hit earlier in season,have 2nd WC,BB and TC left to use.Am around 300k OR but aiming for a 250k finish with good use of the remaining chips.What tactics are people using (order of using chips).....who have the FH used but the other chips and second WC available?
Thanks for any feedback.

I have the same chips left. The only thing I’m pretty set on is NOT using the WC this week (injuries during the international break allowing).

I want to wait on fixtures before deciding anything, but leaning towards WC33, BB34 with 3 Liverpool and TC37. However, if the GW37 fixtures were to fall a certain way I might go TC34, WC36 and BB37.

If 1 go TC in 34, it will cost me one -4 and I’d have 8 doublers and 3 Liverpool (home to Bournemouth)

Shedite27

Salah currently on 266 points with 7 games remaining.

Internet tells me he's chasing....
Suarez (13/14) - 295
Lampard (09/10) - 284
Ronaldo (07/08) - 283

30 points from 7 games? 14 of those are appearance points, add in a few clean sheets and you're probably looking at about 3 goals/assists to break the record.

300 points looks odds on really.

jimmii

Certainly looking good for it which is amazing don't think anyone expected us to see a PPG to compare to Suarez so soon given that for so long 290 was considered virtually impossible.
