2 marginal decisions to make for this GW: Femenia away to Chelsea or Ward away to City and RLC away to Newcastle or Gross away to West Ham.
Currently starting Femenia and RLC, sound about right?

I'd go with Gross and a coin toss for the other one.

Gotta decide Aguero or Jesus in for Lacazette.
Silva is my only City cover.
I feel like gambling on Kun

My prediction would be Jesus to play 60 Aguero to play 30.

After Burnley it's hard to say but with 433 working so well and City only having two recognized CFs I could see Pep sticking with that formation. You would have to expect Jesus' game time to start suffering, Aguero is simply a bigger and better player and his performances so far make him very hard to leave out.

I wouldn't bring in Jesus at this point, his long term prospects are shaky imo.

Probably an unpoplular opinion

Bigger how? I agree he's better

Bigger name, an established world class player rather than a player who might one day be world class, a player who makes headlines if he's left out for any prolonged period

I think you're underestimating how good Jesus is but I'm not gonna disagree that Aguero is a better player. I dont see Jesus being a shaky long term prospect and I think Pep might even rate the 2 of the equally at this point. If you look at their game time when fit it's pretty even.

eh i dunno

It also happens from time to time that lads join the team in the hotel later on. Them not arriving together and still playing had happened before

This is an away game though
They are meeting up prior to travel
We will know tonight but not in time for deadline

I'm still thinking of banking and starting him with t Carroll first sub
Can't decide who I want and want to do a midfield revamp next week

Luke Shaw owner? :rolleyes:

Lucky with this week's transfers - had been stuck with Matic since GW1, and Alli off the boil, so went Doucouré and Silva.

gormdubhgorm

Don't make any transfers I make.

Last week I took an 8 point hit brought in Batshuayi.

This week I wildcard transferred Batshuayi and brought in Morata.... :mad:

Guardiola must be trolling FPL managers at this stage - Sterling and Jesus both benched!

There was always a good chance Jesus benched he was not rested all season.
Particularly with Aguero back
Surprised on Sterling though

Jesus did not play a minute of the 5-0 GW6 win

Phoenix Wright

Dreadful GW so far, decided to keep Bavies over bringing in Otamendi after his price rose on Thursday

Feel like I’ve been in a ring with Mike Tyson all season.

I've literally only had one red arrow all season. Madness

Looking for an exit strategy in week or 2 for vardy and I'm hoping Defoe can show something before their brilliant run
Or even Josh king......
Having said that after this week's transfers I would be able to afford lukaku at that point for back to back home games Vs Newcastle and Brighton ........hopefully pogba back by then too

Anyone got there eyes on Son? Think I might downgrade from Alli as part of freeing up Sanchez funds.

It'll take a few more good weeks before Sanchez justifies nearly 5m more than Ramsey though.

It will be interesting to see how Klopp goes now with the defence.

I think the best 4 starting would be - Milner (rb), Gomez, Matip and Robertson (lb).

It’s unlikely he sees it as I do but it’s clear that Lovern has played his last game for a long time. And amen to that.

Matip and Gomez should now get a run centrally and he’ll have to choose between TAA and Milner at right back. Milner offers the experience we would need as playing TAA and Gomez would be risky.

Moreno looks his preferred choice at left back but it’s clear that Robertson is better.

So if we are looking at Liverpool for cheap defenders then Gomez looks the safest option now. Moreno could be next best if Klopp stays loyal to him which is likely.

Has Son been starting most games? If so, I definitely want him in.

I have a weird problem. Made two transfers for the last gw. But my team for next week has reverted to the team before these transfers. Anyone ever have this problem? Or know what to do?

Sounds like you’ve accidentally used the ‘free hit’ chip.

Raoul

Ah f*CK. I did. Traveling at the moment so I haven't been able to give it my full attention. I didn't realise that's what the free hit did. That will be heartbreaking during the dgw's.

Why on earth would anyone bring in anyone of the worst defence in the league

?

They've kept 3/4 clean sheets at home, 2 of which against United and Arsenal. They've only conceded 1 at home. In fact they've kept 5 out of 6 cleansheets at Anfield in PL going back to last year. With 3 home games in their next 4 and Moreno getting forward so much there's certainly value @ 4.5 when compared to the other options available. He got an assist recently in CL if i remember it correctly, also based on the game yesterday he is getting forward a fair bit.

I'm not getting any of them in but I can certainly see why you would.

I’m not selling the idea.

If you don’t want ‘anyone’ then I suggest you don’t buy ‘anyone’.
