    He was one of only players to stay in everyone of my early drafts and great price, I know palace are not scoring anything but he will change everything!

    Definitely one to watch.

    Hard to find decent midfielders around that range and Palace have some nice fixtures coming up
    He was absolutely sensational Saturday
    But more fitness and he would have been in for a goal again at the end
    He is my Matt Ritchie replacement after next week

    Agree he was sensational and I would like him to replace Ritchie too but I’m alternating between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3, depending on fixtures, and it would mean playing him with RLC on occasion.

    Not sure I’d ever like to have 2 Palace midfielders playing even though they have both looked very good when they’ve played.

    Double Hodgson attack doesn’t sound appealing or wise.

    I think we have to wait and see what happens against Napoli before we decide on Aguero vs Jesus.
    If Sergio plays and Jesus is rested then Gabby might play the weekend. If it's the other way around then we have to see if Aguero gets some minutes to prove he is fit. If Aguero doesn't make the squad tomorrow then we have to wonder if he will be fit by the weekend.

    I'm holding on to Mikhy until after the Huddersfield game, I might switch to Pogba then if he is fit for a .3 savings. I'm holding on to Lukaku for sure, he has only had two blanks so far this season, he is well worth his money.

    The problem for me arises when Morata is fit as I don't have the money to bring him in right now.

    Alli out I think maybe Salah/KDB/Eriksen in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Aguero down to 6% ownership now. Would be a nice differential captain next week.

    If he starts. You couldn't blame Pep if he starts without him, considering the demolition job the attack did on Stoke. Let's see how they line up Champs League. Three things are guaranteed in life: death, taxes, and that Pep will Pep. Indeed such is his trolling skills I think there should be a Pep the frog in his honour.

    3 players in for 1

  • Registered Users Posts: 674 ✭✭✭carnie


    I have Salah + 1.5 itb I can get in Eriksen or I can get another City mid.....I don't know.

    I have Kane but he seems to only do anything during away games.

    I might just bank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Kane and Falaini (had him sitting nicely in last bench spot) out, Abraham and Eriksen in. Rom captain.

    Aguero/Jesus in for Lacazatte but will hold off until after tonight's game. I fear we might be none the wiser though - what scenario leaves us confident of who'll start the Burnley game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,032 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I think Jesus start and Aguero minutes off the bench lead us to Aguero.
    Aguero non-appearance leads us to Jesus.
    Aguero start with Jesus leaves us confused as does Aguero start and Jesus on bench.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 Darra6h


    Started the year with Sane and Jesus, got rid but looks like they may be called on again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    Depending on tonight Kane and vardy could be becoming Aguero or lukaku and morata


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,450 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Ramsey - Zaha was my thinking, but now I'm thinking I could do with the cash to upgrade Chicarito to a 3rd premium. Ramsey - Atsu is the building block to that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Sane and Sakho in for Tadic and Firmino with 2FTs.

    Gabbi stepping up for that penalty killed my brief moment of anticipation.

    Punting on Sakho given that Carroll is suspended and hoping a good showing means he'll start against Palace in GW10 too.

    Sane, Alli, Dilva, Shaqiri
    Kane, Lacazette, Vardy

    Something is telling me to give the front 2 a chance. I think I might bank, wait to see how Aguero is, and then go for 3-4 transfers next week.

    Jesus starts and Kun on bench - lets see how this goes.

    Kane to Kun for the next 2 GWs
    Bit confused now, if Kun gets 20 minutes there’s no guarantee he’ll start at the weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭Trimm Trabb


    Have Sane and Jesus.

    Now think I’ll get Sterling in for Alli as my third City attacker - would be nervous captaining any of those 3.

    Will wait to pull the trigger on it and see does the likelihood of Aguero starting Saturday become anymore clear cut.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,733 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Lacazette to Jesus done....couldn't afford to wait for any price moves either way.

    Lacazette was a huge disappointment...haven't been this p1ssed off with a player since Andy Carroll last season and Andy Carroll the season before that

    I’d do neither.

    You’re looking to bring in 2 players that have been injured and have had no game time for 2 players that are pretty much guaranteed to start and are match fit and healthy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    My plan is:

    Firmino -> Aguero
    Sanchez -> Zaha
    Chicharito -> Morata

    I have the exact money to do it after Morata's drop this week.

    I was hoping for some Aguero game time last night so I might do Jesus instead and keep cash for Aguero next week, though I don't like planning a transfer ahead already as there's often an inevitable injury or suspension that scuppers it.

    As it stands I think we're looking at Jesus starting and Aguero coming on when he gets withdrawn after 60 as always.

    Any thoughts?

    As much as Chicharito has been awful so far, I assume he will be the sole attacker this weekend with Carroll sent off? Reckon I'll hold him, gives me some interest in the Friday night game. He's 6/4 to score anytime, worth one more chance...

    Already looking at a -12 or bigger for this week, season practically over so it's gamble time

    Well I did not know there was a Friday night game until now, cheers PVA.

    Might be handy to know for draft waivers.

    Looking like just a boring transfer Lacassette to Jesus.

    Banking the hit again to bench Bavies if he's definitely ruled out. Then reluctantly move him on if Rose figures much.

    My glamorous DDG to Foster move has to wait again with Foster's injury.

    Yeah, can't say I enjoy Friday Night Football from a purist point of view, Friday nights are sacrilege! Keeps it interesting for FPL though

    As I understand it Bavies was 'ill' rather than injured, and expected to be back for the weekend. I'm holding him for the moment, he's been playing too well for Rose to just walk back into the team if both are fit. Huge attacking potential too

    That being said, it seems like Bavies out could be a worthy move, I could upgrade Hegazi to Trippier in a few weeks when Spurs fixtures turn good again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    Looking at getting lukaku back for this week so if morata plays tonight I will be bringing both in for Kane and vardy with a view to doing lukaku to aguero next week when things are clearer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 855 ✭✭✭mectavba


    Looking at doing Lacazette & Brady to Rashford & Sterling for a -4. 

    This would give me:

    Elliot
    Davies, Kolasinac, Jones
    Sterling, Silva, Ritchie, Mkhitaryan
    Jesus, Kane, Rashford
    Foster, Wimmer, Obiang, Mbemba

    It still leaves me with some concerns...Davies may have to go soon, but if he doesnt make it this weekend, Wimmer home to BOU isn't a bad fixture.

    3 MCI and 3 Man Utd....happy enough having 3 city players with their form and fixtures...even with the rotation risk.

    3 Man Utd looks good going into Huddersfield away. I have kept Mkhi for this but will most likely get rid afterwards. Rashford is fairly punty, but he does seem to be getting his fair share of starts this year, but I would be concerned about him being dropped for the bigger games Man Utd have coming up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    So 87 minutes for Jesus last night, Ageuro on the bench for the last 2 so most be basically fit if not totally match sharp.

    Burnley at home...

    It's a risk but strongly considering Lukaku out Aguero in. Even if Aguero just got the last 20 minutes you'd expect some returns. And then long term, as good as Jesus and Sane have been, you just can't leave Aguero out can you? His returns have been exceptional even by Cities high standard.

    The alternative is to play it safe with Silva and maybe have a look at Firmino for the 3rd striker spot who may have returned to form and to free up funds

    Was going to do Alli to fabregas and then miki or Ritchie to zaha the following week
    I'm now of a mind to bank and reassess the following week as all 3 have ok fixtures
    Already lost .1 on Alli though :(

    Friday evening deadline makes it easier to stay strong :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,049 ✭✭✭steve_r


    Looking at shipping out Bavies.

    Phil Jones is looking tempting but concious of Utd's fixtures getting worse. And him being made of glass.

    I'm tempted by Aurier also - looks an excelent player in an excellent backline. Card magnet though.

    Am I mad to look Stones/Otamendi - city have only let in 5 goals this season?

    Not at all, City have been solid at the back and Otamendi is great value - Stones I'd slightly worry about if/when Kompany regains fitness. The only valid argument I could think against him is that you might want to save 3 City spots for your attack and midfield considering the way they're banging in goals at the moment

    Alonso + Stones

    or

    can't see aguero starting against burnley, a real physical team, could be wrong tho,

    Aguero is the conundrum.

    I need a kickstart. And very badly.

    Can do Ritchie and Lacazette
    > Atsu and Aguero. It could go all types of wrong though.

    Vardy, Lacazette and Ritchie
    > Abraham, Aguero and Sterling for a -4. It would give me 3 City attackers including Silva.

    I have a niggling feeling Vardy will score at the weekend though.

    Is Stones a guaranteed starter?

    Alonso definitely would be fun to own.

    I owned him GW1, GW3, GW4, GW5 and GW6. Not as fun as you would think

    No Kunundrum for me, himself and Pep will tell me when it's time to go into my team again.

    I'm holding onto Vardy & Lacazette for this weekend partly due to that niggling feeling that they may burn me. Partly because I want 2ft's as part of a 3-4 transfer and partly because I want to see where a fit Aguero will be in Pep's plans. I wouldn't be desperately putting him into that 4-3-3, it's would be between himself and Jesus for me with Sterling and Sane wide in the front 3.

    Jesus + Gros

    OR

    Morata + Richarlison


    Gros is playing well, but looking at the underlying stats for Richarlison would indicate he is terrific value. Good run from GW10-13

    Are you on a WC?

    My own view is that if I had Jesus I wouldn't sell him right now, but if I didn't have him I wouldn't bring him in. Longterm he is going to frustrate. Aguero is the bigger and better player and Sane has done so well coming in and the 433 so effective that Pep might stick with just one CF. Even if he plays 2 Jesus is getting subbed off after 60 frequently. I don't love him longterm but with Aguero out he's a fantastic option.

    Morata you know will both start, play 90 and be at the centre of most of the goals Cheslea score. There's not another Chelsea player I would consider right now.

    Richarlison is an OOP player playing in an attacking team going places. Gros looks good value, but is in a defensive team who I reckon will get relegated. He's a good option but of the too if you have the funds it's got to be Richy.

    For me, if you're on a WC and are setting up for the long term, it's the latter option all day long

    I like it.

    Zaha up front for Palace and looks to have rejuvenated them... will be involved in almost everything for them. Jesus is tearing it up at the mo and should always be starting although may not always get 90 mins.

    Alli running a bit cold at the mo. Chicarito not playing well at all

    Lukaku to Morata locked in

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


    2 Free transfers this week but taken my first hit and trying to get my side in better shape for the next 3 weeks till I wild card

    DeGea Elliot
    TAA Long Lowe Bavies Maguire
    KDB Ritchie Salah Davies Cork
    Lukaku Kane Vardy


    Mind is set on
    KDB - Sterling
    Lowe - Jones

    That then gives me 12.2m itb “if” I do Richie and Davies out aswell all for a looking towards the next 3 GW’s

    Could get in a few combos

    Richarlison and leave Ritchie and just do a -4

    Could go Zaha plus a 5.5 Fernandinho maybe double City coverage?

    Shelvy and Richarlison leaves me .7 to upgrade TAA or someone next week but I can address him on WC in a few weeks
    Any suggestions or flaws to my plans? How would you spend 12.2 mill?
