He is playing a much different role this year, and has been playing it extremely well, just not from a FF perspective.

This, KDB has probably been the best player in the league this year and yet a FF flop. Very frustrating as an owner

VW 1

Went with walters and firmino out, with gross and vardy in. 0.6 in the bank. Slowly climbing after a very poor first two weeks.

P. Jones Bavies Daniels
Mkhitaryan ritchie eriksen gross

It was clear after 2 games he was not worth 10million. He even said in an interview he's playing in a deep midfield position.

Only bad thing on Lukaku end is he's due a blank

No such thing as due a blank. Trust your odds ;-)

Re: KDB

I was fully expecting the end of that post to say, he even said in an interview that he thought he was a about million overpriced in FPL

Monitoring Niasse as cheap 3rd striker. Won't make a move until after European games.

Niasse is not registered to play in Europe

Ye I may get him for hemed in a 1 WK punt. I know most have gone top heavy on strikers which results in a 433 or relying on Carroll or rlc to start. The alternative is a cheap striker like hemed and a mid like alli or mane as opposed to say Morato and rlc. If hemed can keep his place I think I prefer the cheap striker and extra big hitter in midfield option.

Silva looks a good option - 6 assists already, his record is 17 in 11/12 - could reach something like that figure this year.

Will Hemed receive a retrospective ban for his stamp on Yedlin today though?

If we're thinking real cheapie defenders to (4.0-4.5) supplement the Salah/Kane/Aguero/Lukaku quartet, who do people think is the best short term option?

Femenia for me, Watford going good besides the hiding from City last week

I didn't see it. I suppose the point I'm making is based on hemed, niasse or Abraham or someone in that price region nailing down a regular starting position. You would expect 8-10 goals a season . I don't see the cheap mids getting anywhere near that return although rlc is looking threatening. It then comes down to your 3rd expensive striker against a mid like alli or mane.

I know but if one of my big players gets injured I'll need to use the transfer on that.

manual_man

Holding off 'til after the European games to make any transfers. All 10 of my outfield players have a European game so making an early transfer would be just asking for trouble

I was thinking about using that tactic, this season, as I know a lot of the pros go down that route but maybe it was easier when you didn't have to choose 2 from Lukaku, Jesus, Aguero, Morata, Kane, Firmino and Vardy.

I'm struggling to pick 3 so trying to pick 2 would be a weekly torture.

Admittedly but it is still early days and it's possible cheap mids arise later in the season. IIRC King did not make himself a great pick that early in the season last year, did he?

And so far, the likes of Gross, Ritchie, Richarlisson, Doucouré, Mooy, Davis, Choupo-Moting, etc... scored similar than Hemed, Abraham, Okazaki, Vokes, etc...

I feel the real chaos in the game this year could come from Hazard & Sanchez getting back to the level we've been used from them to get. With already 5 £10m+ strikers performing plus at least the same amount of £8.5-10.0m delivering mids, adding these 2 old friends of ours in the mix would be quite... explosive .

mectavba

I think you could also add Lacazette to the mix. Depending how he does tonight, I am considering getting him in for Jesus V Brighton at home next week

carnie

I'm just going to chase the dream of a double hat trick!

Morata you've made the team baby!



But in all honesty I haven't clue who's playing this week. All I know is that a WC is happening after the Int break and I can not wait for that.

I can't make any transfers yet. My free hit is still active.

I thought my team lineup for picking next weeks team would be reset to what it was before the Free Hit but it has not.

Gameweek isn't over I guess but that is still strange and good to know

Scratch that. My free hit is still available. So it was the wildcard I played after all And what I'm looking at is my new team. I am a bleedin' idiot.

At least my gamble on a Lukaku, Aguero, Kane strikeforce payed off (80 points) but I only made it under the assumption that I'd played my free hit as opposed to my wildcard.

My team at the moment-

Pope
Mbemba
Naughton
Löwe
De Bruyne
Ritchie
David Silva
March
Agüero
Kane
Lukaku

Hart
King
Rosenior
Hegazi

Time to redistribute funds to the rest of my team.

CurryFlavoured

LLoris Elliot
Bailly Hegazi Davies Yoshida Rangel
Choupo-Moting KDB Redmond Iwobi Carroll
Vardy Kane Lukaku

I'm tempted to play my wildcard but at the same time wholesale change isn't essential. Wanna get rid of KDB, Redmond, Iwobi and Rangel, but 2 of those 4 players are bench fodder anyway, and will probably be replaced by cheap fodder players too. I could revamp my whole midfield and maybe 1-2 defenders though. Very happy with my strikers going forward.

whats the story with a free hit, is it basically another wildcard ?

For one week, yes.

Your team will revert to previous afterwards.

That is some dumb luck right there. 80 points and not a bad team left to tinker with.

Get rid of kdb and use funds on 1 or 2 defender upgrades and you'll be in pretty good shape.

Morzadec

De Gea and Firmino out, Hart and Morata in for a 4 point hit.

Might seem crazy taking out De Gea before Palace at home, but I literally have just the funds to do this before any price changes (0.0 in my bank now), and I think Morata will be a big player long term.

West Ham have some nice fixtures coming up and Hart rotates well with Eliot.

De Gea served me well. Don't usually go with premium goalkeepers but with their opening 7 fixtures and a lack of clarity over lineups pre season, De Gea was the cheapest surest way to a United cleany. Long term though I want to spend as little money as possible in GK, and now I'll finally get some use out of Eliot by rotating him.

Cartman78

Haven't researched it fully yet, but on initial inspection I'm contemplating KDB + Antonio to Mikhi + Coutinho/Salah.

Leaves me with no Man City, Chelsea or Arsenal coverage :eek:

Tempted to wildcard but want to wait until international break if possible.
