    Why Smalling? Isn't he a massive rotation risk

    No idea where that’s coming from tbh. He’s played 90 mins in 21 of the last 24 games, missing the other 3 (in a row) due to injury.

    Jones and Bailly haven't both been fit for any of those 24

    I just don't see how he starts both game in the double

    When one of the other 2 inevitably gets injured

    Current team looks to be solid enough for GW32 so I am tempted to wait until next week to WC (that way i am able to view my competitors wildcarded teams).

    Anyone have any advice? No Lukaku is my primary concern but Swansea have been decent since the new manager came in.

    DDG

    VVD, Coleman, Hegazi

    Salah, Doucoure, Mahrez, Stanislas, Hazard

    Aubameyang, Firminho

    Just when it looks like we might get a dirt cheap nailed on entry to the Liverpool defence. Clyne has to come back and make everything in question once again.

    I’m looking at the Kane situation and the below gives me .1 itb only

    DeGea Ryan
    Morgan Chilwell Mee Stephens Tomkins
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian Gudmundsson
    Kane Auba Barnes

    Had Groll and Lukaku but swapped to Gud & Kane. I think the way I have it now is better for the entire run in. With only .1 itb I cant afford any changes. Tho the Groll and Lukaku combo is much more appealing for this week for sure
    Think I’ll go with the above and keep what I have itb and then try to get Kane in for Lukaku for his double


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    DDG Hennessy
    Bailly Mustafi Lowton Tarkowski Morgan
    Salah Mahrez Son Arnie Gudmondson
    Auba Vardy Jesus

    Arnie and Jesus as differentials? And two extra players for gw35...

    As a former Fuchs owner, himself and Chilwell will share the double most likely

    Happy Good Wildcard day to all on this thread.
    Happy enough with this.

    DeGea, Ryan,
    Mee, Christensen, Morgan, Tarkowski, Cedric,
    Son, Mahrez, Salah, Gross, Willian,
    Auba, Barnes, Lukaku
    1.3 ITB 1m to find for Kane if he comes back or Vardy in if not.

    Very jealous of your Team Value :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭davemckenna25


    Hi Looking at

    De Gea, Hennessey
    Christensen, Alonso, Morgan, Monreal, Bailey
    Salah, Son, Willian, Cork, Mahrez
    Lukaku, Vardy, Barnes

    On my wild card.
    FH for 35 and BB still to use, thinking of 34.
    1.1 in the bank in case I want to get Kane back in, swap Alonso for Davis and Lukaku to Kane,

    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Now thinking about ditching Vardy and Gudmondson for Firmino and King...

    DDG Ryan
    Mustafi Lowton Tarkowski Morgan VDH
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian King
    Firmino Lukaku Auba

    Too many sacrifices elsewhere for that front 3?


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭tomwaits48


    So I’m within the top 750 so I’ve played the WC to protect my position and get in popular selected players thus negating/blocking people over taking me. Risky strategy perhaps.

    De Gea
    Lowton Alonso Morgan
    Salah William Gross Mahrez
    Lukaku Augemayang Vardy

    Ryan, Matic, Stephens, Dunk


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    So with WC in play and BB FH TC to play here’s my current squad

    DDGea Ryan
    Chilwell Morgan Mee Stephens Mariappa
    Salah Son Willian Mahrez Gudmonson
    Lukaku Barnes Auba

    Have 1.6 itb to do

    Mee and Auba - Dummett and Kane for the double and BB that week. I’ve the exact money to do this so any price changes will wreck this. Too risky or what do people think?

    You could do Mee to Lowton to give you some breathing space with price rises?

    I hate having that much money left in the bank for 2 gameweeks ahead
    I'd put it into the team and then downgrade when the time comes
    Smalling for example could rise tonight (probably won't double rise though ) and has a good fixture this week
    If you are planning on 2 transfers anyway why not get him this week and downgrade next week
    Also dummet doesn't have a DGW 34 so not sure why it's him you will be bringing in?
    Just spotted you don't have gross or Murray
    You could get gross in for the 2 weeks then downgrade to free up cash

    Too much money itb with so many teams having 2 nice games in the mean time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Trying to convince myself that I want Lukaku but as the deadline gets closer I can see myself going without.

    DDG Hennessy
    Alonso Mustafi Lowton Tarkowski Morgan
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian King
    Firmino Auba Vardy

    Really like the look of this squad without him.

    If Kane goes up I’d still be screwed tho??

    I agree money won’t get me points BUT I really want Kane and don’t want to have to rip my team apart to get him.. I know what you mean about upgrading Mee tho and then selling the better player for extra Kane cash

    What selling price have you for Mee? If it's 4.7, Lowton is 4.4 so that extra .3 could come handy

    I added more to original post now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo


    Any opinions on?

    De Gea Ryan

    Lowton Bong Alonso Musfafi Morgan

    Son Cook Mahrez Salah Willian

    Auba Lukaku Barnes

    Spent so long playing around with this really tight decision

    Aim to BB 34, FH in 35 TC in 37

    Looking at Mustafa and Auba to Vert and Vardy in 34

    Yeah free hit in 35

    Kane TC in 37

    Made this exact same switch on the wc a couple of days ago - as hard as it was to part with Mee as I had him since the start! :( The extra 0.3 was just too important potentially in terms of being able to take a price rise/drop to allow me to wait on making a transfer etc.

    You don't need triple burnely then surely ?
    I'd lose cook for sure .
    How you do that is another story...........mustafi or alonso........you have Willian too.......I think people are getting carried away with chelseas fixtures. I think the fixtures are not and neither are Chelsea. If they were to lose to spurs too ..........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo


    Have. 8 so might go to Matic or Gudmunsson for Cook. Prefer Matic to leave me some breathing room

    Burnley lads are just cheap, hard to get another playing forward, cheaper

    I was set on my team, started tinkering and had my head turned by Chaz Austin and also managed to shoehorn Vertonghen in somehow. Hopefully Austin over Barnes pays off. Also had to sacrifice Gross and get Gudmundsson :(
