Everyone from mayo wildcarding today to clear the decks for a few weeks
Similar in parts to mine
Word of warning on suttner he is very close to a drop so could be 4.4 in the morning losing you .1
I wouldn't be mad on defence apart from babies tbh
I'd be inclined to downgrade one of front men to fund an upgrade and lukaku would be my choice ........

So I've been looking at the attack. More to get Morata in and it's hard to pick one. Lukaku had scored in three games and missed a peno in the other. Jesus is City's first choice. So that leaves Kane, the most explosive player there is

I see FFS podcast talking about going with two strikers, madness I think, I'd like four!

Lukaku, Kane and Jesus looks like the best front 3 possibly. Hazard back in the groove might make him the preferable Chelsea option over Morata. The other three are best captain choices from those teams, despite Pogba, Miki and Eriksen doing so well. Man City are a bit more of a minefield for captain options so maybe not Jesus so much. Choosing the right Liverpool option is difficult too. Firmino over Jesus saves 2m and allows for a big hitter in midfield and Alonso/Bavies at the back. Sanchez going on fire is the one that will throw the cat amongst the pigeons.

Ya Hazard or Sanchez would blow everything open. Liverpool cover is wrecking my head, they just rotate who does well, if you pick up Salah, Firmino and Mane do well, pick up Mane he gets sent off, Firmino and salah will go daft

Right. Did not have much time for the game lately (as always some would/could argue but not for the same holiday reasons this year). Feel my team is sh*te.

Foster Elliot
Bailly Trippier Cedric Mee Rosenior
Mkhytarian Willian Redmond Van La Parra Carroll
Kane Lukaku Chicharito

Was eyeing something like Willian + Redmond + Chicharito + VLP -> Alli + D. Silva + Firmino + Doucouré
But I'm £1.6m short for that.
I'm not too keen on dropping Lukaku yet but maybe I should accept it. Was thinking Morata but £0.2m short? Anyone see where I could get them? Or should I consider someone else than Morata?

Opinions please on some final adjustments?

Bailly to Jones gives you 1ml or so
Cedric to naughton another .5

What hospital were you in? I was in Cork Maternity Hospital earlier this year and I had no problems neglecting my newborn son in favour of using fantasy football on my phone :pac:

I remember making a transfer in the Holles St toilets once upon a time.

This ^

I'd be less inclined to go with Doucore. Maybe look at Gross or Choupo or even Chalobah who partners Doucore and has v good underlying stats.

Well. Not sure I'd favour Naughton over Cedric. Though Swansea do have a good run of fixtures (notably 3 "easy" home in 4).

Jones & Chalobah would allow me to get the team I posted above with £0.1m ITB.
Only thing is Chalobah scored exactly like Carroll so far. Was he on the wrong side of the regresion to the mean considering the stats you referred to? Or could he be an assists' assister kind of player in the game?

Finally. Lukaku vs Morata. I feel if I sell Lukaku now, if he continues his good run, I could well be priced out very soon. While keeping him in offers me more flexibility. Also I'd know better how Conte will rotate or not his forwards. Morata did not play the CL game this week. Was it because it was just Qarabag? Or is it a trend to be continued?

Any considerations about defense? Mbemba first choice? I know Rosenior isn't...
Best 4.5 midfielder RLC? Cork? Carroll?

Panic mode ON? Please feel free to advice...

Done
Daniels made the cut
I have an awful weakness for attacking left backs
And yet don't own Alonso !

Mbemba is not first choice.
Downgrade Foster or Doucoure to turn him into a 4.5
I'd consider RLC the 4th mid most of the time.

Feck it there is still 15 minutes left !

PARlance

Mbemba has been reset back to 0% after the red flag was removed. He was near 100% towards a rise, I wasn't expecting a profit from him but that was a nice cushion.

If he doesn't get gametime, he could be a contender for a drop. Half thinking of Hun at 3.9 now instead.

Yeah. 15 min to realise Trippier place isn't safe at all. Aurier did play in CL. But I'm £0.2m short to upgrade to Ben Davies.

- edit -

Couldn't find a solution. I'm left with Trippier...

A last day WC I'm not entirely happy with... Ah well points hits to come :pac:!

Yes that made me not switch to mbemba either
And long was 76 toward a drop

To confirm, if you are on a -4 or more, you can activate your WC to and this will remove the hit, right?

Correct

I did suttner to kola last night. I want to wildcard but not sure I need to. I have a strong team for next week and the only issues I'm seeing are I'd like Jesus or aguero for captain and the fact I still have walters who I've now lost .2 on.

Playing 4-3-3?

Not sure that team needs a WC for 1 change (possibly -4), especially considering that Lukaku -> Jesus is doable cash-wise.
Now if you want the big 3 upfront, not sure you can afford such a defense unless you very cheap in midfield? Not quite your style.

I do see myself playing 433 after I wildcard. My problem is I don't like any mids under 8 million . This is why I'm still stuck with Walters luckily my defense have had good fixtures. I think my ideal set up would be a strongish defense, 3 expensive mids , 2 expensive strikers and a cheap striker. I sort of have that set up but not the players I want for it. Anyway your right I just need to minus 4 for city striker if need be for the time being.
