Yeah I opted for Lanzini and Arnautovic for the double, and because I am very likely to get in Aguero, I will keep them as my 3rd and 4th mids over the next 5 games. Something has to give in midfield if Aguero and Kane are in the team.

I went Lanzini so that I could have money in the bank for the potential above move, or if I need Morata, KDB, Sanchez or whoever. Getting Alli would've hamstrung me.

Looking around some of my leagues if I dont make serious ground this week I may aswell give up. Loads of salah/firmino/coutinho/depoitre/ vardy/dcl. The only downside of yesterday was that Utd CS. Ive 15 players to go surely this is the week it turns. Alli outcoring other spurs mids and a west ham cleanie would be great.

Same about making up ground, though the likes of ****ing Albrighton hitting a double digit score does little to help me!

10 (-4) from 4 so far.

3 City (Ota, Sterling, Sane) and 4 doublers (Kane, Erikson, Son, Arnie) to go. Kinda regretting not putting the TC on Kane now but what can ya do.

A quick look at the table will tell you both WBA and West Ham will be putting out their strongest sides available. Relegation 6 pointer

And then it's a London Derby.

The fans might not be pleased but West Ham may be justified in resting a couple if they bag the win in the first game (pun intended). So that's a tougher one to call. Good for Kane though if that is the case.

My thoughts exactly , also have 15 players ( 17 if you include Kane as captain twice) and had the perfect start with Mahrez and Maguire, the next 48 hrs will decide whether I have a life for the next 4/5 months or I continue as is

eh i dunno

Maybe and hopefully your friend is just trying to wind you up.

Probably best not to post these kind of things unless there's a fairly reliable source

Agreed. But at least in this case the gw deadline has passed and it won't effect anyone's transfers or captain.

Or maybe the friend is Anne Frank

Just about to board a plane back to the UK after Christmas, so will miss the team announcements. I'm not normally a nervous flyer, but I'll be fair on edge tonight

FutureGuy

40 minutes to go to teams. I have butterflies :pac:

In fairness posting news after the deadline and immediately posting it’s just a rumor is a lot different to the incident with Anne Frank. I dont see any issue with posting rumors after the deadline especially when your interacting as to the validity as no one can change their team captains any ways

There will be a tinge if regret about not giving him the TC if he does big BUT points
Lovely lovely points

Irish Raven

tbh lads....the deadline has passed....

if alli is out its a huge kick in the nuts for me...big differential in my league for me, and brought in at a -4!!

Would that Billy Cairns fella not have picked it up if he wasn't due to play

Lucas Hood

Alli is with the squad at least.

40 mph wind in Swansea.

Not ideal to say the least.
