Too much spent on GK's, go for one or the other and a cheaper option as backup, then upgrade midfield.

Who's Barry up front? Barnes?

Great having 27 & 28 players for the DGW's but you can only use bench boost once.

Thanks for your feedback. Barry should be Vardy. I know I have only one BB but this way I have a choice of which week I use it. I am thinking 34 then sell Lukaku and Lloris to use funds to buy City players for 2nd DGW. Or I might TC Lukaku in 34 and BB in 37

Debating whether to wildcard or not.

Can't face the study and trauma.....

Think I'll be joining you guys and gal.

Really was keen to try a different approach (-8 this week, -4 and BB GW34, FH35 and then WC36 with TC37) but a few injuries and Liverpool now strong favourites to progress in UCL have left me little choice.

Ryan
Alonso Jones Robertson
Salah (c) Mahrez Alli Stanislas Dilva
Aubameyang Wilson

Adrian Quanar TAA Bauer

My mini-league leader (12pts ahead/No FH) WCed last week to this.

DDG Karius
Alonso Smalling Lowton Tark Morgan
Salah Willian Mahrez Son Cork
Lukaku Vardy Auba

107.5M TV!!!

I will FH35, Salah will be leaving and Kane will be there.
I'm not sure if I'll go with Lukaku for DGW34 yet.

T-b0n3

After playing around for the last hour I'm currently sitting with this:


DDG Hennessy
Chilwell Morgan Tarkowski Lowton Sakho
Son Mahrez Lingard Willian Salah
Kane Lukaku Barnes

1.3 ITB

Plan to BB in 34, FH in 35 and TC in 37. I'll have 27 for GW34 and 24 for GW37 as it stands.

Yes that's double Leicster, Burnley & Palace defense. Best chance I see for clean sheets with doubles, bar Palace who only have 1 game in 34, but decent chance of a clean sheet.

Midfield is fairly self explanatory, as is front three.

I could go Vardy and Gudmundsson instead of Mahrez and Barnes, not much in it I don't think.

Hard to know weather to keep Salah, but I'm happy to hold for the moment and asses as we go. I got him for 9.0 so it would cost me to bring him back.

Any thoughts?

Had to do it.

DDG - Ryan

Vertonghen - Christensen - Morgan - Lowton - Ogbonna

Salah - Mahrez - Willian - Lingard - Gross

Kane - Aubameyang - Barnes

Any views appreciated, any at all!!!!

Rikand

DDG - Ryan
Moses - Ake - Chilwell - Lowton - Duffy
Salah - Son - Mahrez - Willian - Lingard
Barnes - Vardy - Aubemayeng

Plan is to use my free transfer to move Aube on for Kane next week, but in the mean time im running with this.

I think I might move Duffy on too, but for who....

I'd keep duffy two dgw fixtures-
But Moses 6.5m? rather look at Christensen even if riskier, Smalling, Mustafi or something instead of Ake, and if funds left chilwell to Morgan

Looks good except kiko, id shift him on for one of the leicester defenders, he doesnt have a dgw next week so not sure of the logic?

I have wanted to own moses for a long time and the assist last week just confirmed that for me. I'm not a big fan of risky players who may/may not play and Christy is just too injury prone for my liking.

I've had Ake a while now and he pops up with the odd assist here and there so that's why I haven't transferred him out. Mustafi hasn't a double in 34 and ddg is the only player in Man U that I trust Jose not to rotate.

Could still do chilwell to Morgan though, cheers!

NapoleonInRags

on WC this week and going all in for BB on week 34 with 27 players....planning to transfer Aub out for Lukaku next week and then reverse it for 35 - no FH so will also put Salah in for Hazard for a -4 to give me 8 players. 20 points behind in my money league so one last push for glory!

Ryan, Hennessy
Daniels, Ogbonna, Lowton, Tarkow, Morgan
Sterling, Mahrez, Lingard, Son, Hazard
Barnes, Vardy, Auba

Looking back at my pre WC team last week to compare it to my WC team :

Pre WC team would have scored 22 points with Auba and Azpi to play.
Current team has scored 31 points (after subs) with just Auba to play.


Considering that I'm also far more prepared to face the two DGWs now I think it's been a relatively successful WC.

As a free-hitter, I could probably join you. It's basically the same thing albeit for just one week! :pac:

Thats the one main issue with the gw35 FH

Benimar

Having a look at my potential WC team and my brain is fried! I'm playing BB in GW37 so need to look at 15 starters.

My current front 8 seems fine - Salah, Eriksen, Sterling, Arnautovic, Zaha, Jesus, Aubameyang and J.Ayew. 7 of the 8 have a GW35 fixture and a Salah downgrade in 37 allows Jesus/Auba to Kane.

The defence is a mindfcuk though. Its really hard to see where clean sheets are likely to come from, especially with a need to have all starters in GW37. I have no confidence in Mustafi, VVD could be rotated and has Chelsea away in 37. Chelsea defenders are mad expensive and no Man U defender is nailed on.

I'm actually seriously contemplating an Ederson/Courtois double up as I'd get to play them both in 37 and 'cover' both defences! It leaves a crap defence of VVD (possibly a -4 to Smailling in 37), Chilwell, Dummett, Masuaku and Naughton!

The other option is to downgrade Arnie/Zaha to Kenedy, but I'm not sure I'd be happy having both Kenedy and Ayew in my team.

Decisions, decisions!

clairewithani

I'm on FH and am looking at:

Karius

Baines Van Aanholt Mustafi

Zaha Sterling Mané Salah

Jesus Auba Tosun


3 cheapies Milivojevic (in case Salah doesn't play)

It breaks my heart that he is indeed the most sensible budget MF option.

The man is a machine, decided against buying him in build up to GW31 Blanks, on the basis that he can't keep getting returns.
He has caused me serious damage since.

I'm afraid to put the mockers on you but how are you getting on?
McCarthy/Dubravka pairing perhaps.
A planned GK transfer with Elliot? instead of McC? How will Rafa manage his squad players game-time versus the loan guys?

Kane plan?

Currently looking at

Lloris, Dubravka
Smalling, Mustafi, Moreno, Masuaku, Fernandez
Salah, Sterling, Sane, Arnie, Milivojevic
Kane, Jesus, Ayew

Might have Laca in for Kane if I hear he will,definitely start. Not sure about the defence, but I like my forward line! All views welcome

Wilberto

I think I'm all set on this (FH) :

Cech (Pickford)
VVD | Tompkins | Monreal (Long | Lascelles)
Salah | Sterling | KDB | Zaha | Milivojevic
Jesus | Aubameyang (Perez)


Double Arsenal defence may be slightly worrying, but the way things are going recently, I doubt there'll be any clean sheets. I might throw in Pickford
and Lascelles as I think there could be a clean sheet there somewhere. Stoke V Burnley is probably the other chance of a clean sheet.


Auba is obviously the other worry but, if he gets even half an hour then he could still do something, and if he doesn't then I have Perez to come in.

I wish I had my Wildcard active. Not because of my team. My team is actually fine. It's just so much fun chopping and changing! :pac: :pac:

I'm finally using my WC this GW.

First draft:

Dubravka

Too many Liverpool defenders, not enough Liverpool attackers.

Why Hazard, Vardy, Tadic? - Tadic, something to play for, so maybe.

Would not have any WH defender in a FH team this week.

KdB, Arnie, Jesus, Firmino, Mane are all better options.

TVSAdamwest

Current Team Value is 102.6

GW36 Option A
GK: McCarthy, (Coleman)
Def:Long, Smalling, Kompany, (Dummett), (Hunemeier)
Mid:Salah,Sterling,(Milo),Son,Ramsey
Fwd:Jesus, Giroud(c), Kane

Or

GW36 Option B
GK: McCarthy, (Coleman)
Def:Long, Smalling, Kompany, (Cresswell), (Hunemeier)
Mid:Salah, Sterling (C),(Milo),Pogba ,Ramsey
Fwd:Jesus, Giroud, Kane


GW37 Option A
GK: McCarthy, (Coleman)
Def:(Long,) Smalling, Kompany, Cresswell, (Hunemeier)
Mid:Arnautovic, Sterling (TC),(Milo), Son ,Ramsey
Fwd:Jesus, Lukaku, Kane

Or

GW37 Option B
GK: McCarthy, (Coleman)
Def:(Long), Smalling, Kompany, Cresswell, (Hunemeier)
Mid:Arnautovic, Sterling ,(Milo), Pogba ,Ramsey
Fwd:Jesus, Lukaku, Kane (TC)

Option A leaves 0.9 in the bank going into GW37
Option B leaves 0.6 in the bank going into GW37


Wilcarding this week will mean I have 2 free transfers for GW37 to replace Giroud and Salah with Lukaku and Arnautovic.
Giroud could be a nice differential against Swansea but, I don't want him for the double.

I'm willing to let Salah go for one week and then bring him back for GW38. I know he will score in 37 but, I hope one of my DW mids nets a bigger total than him;)

I have 100 pts to make up and gameweeks are running out!

Is it time for the men in whitecoats to take me away
