Mr.Nice Guy

I was tempted to do Auba to Aguero if Jesus started tonight's game. Now I don't know.

It worries me that Emery will start Auba against Spurs and rest him against Burnley. He's played 90 minutes the last 6 gameweeks so he must be due a rest at some stage.

Only one of those games was a mid week game, outside the standard match every weekend schedule which is the norm so he's hardly in need of a rest. If he doesn't start tonight then he will be fine for the weekend.

2 of his biggest hauls of the season were off the bench

Kane yellow flagged.

Another example of a pathetic high profile yellow flag.

Slight suggestion he may not start tonight because of a cold.

In no way whatsoever was it suggested he’d miss the game at the weekend.

Ridiculous.

Why does it matter if you know he's grand?

TBF colds can get worse before they get better so a yellow is plausible.

S.M.B.

Is the only downside an increase in sales and a decrease in purchases by those not aware of the situation?

Just after spotting Torreira is on 4 yellows........

They forget to mention his next 5 include Liverpool United and Chelsea and in those previous 4 GWs Newcastle only managed 3 goals against Huddersfield West ham Everton and Wolves.

If people want to sign him leave them Atsu it.

Frustrating tracking players myself a good bit in advance ie Snodgrass but then see tweets like this give potential hidden gems away.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it

Atsu isn't a hidden gem though.

Neither was Snodgrass. As in the hidden part anyway

Ah Jesus like.. I mean I was following them for a while to see if there’s a potential good run in them.

Not that had to understand lads

Have this problem myself, torn between Doherty and Digne. Edging towards Digne. Jimenez first sub and going 3-5-2 for first time this season.

Ya I'd play Digne over Doherty in your position. I've Robertson, Alonso and Kola starting (assuming he's fit) so have to bench one of Doherty, Ricky or Jiminez. Currently benching Jiminez but he's actually performed better against top 6 teams this season than Ricky has so I'm not totally convinced.

I’d bench Doherty. No way wolves will keep a CS so relying on Doherty attacking returns. Would always go with attackers over defenders in this scenario.

Depending on your bench, I'd play both.

Surprised if they keep a CS but Doherty is like a 6th mid, you have him for attacking threat I presume, defensive points a bonus.

With Jiminez, it's the usual form over fixtures.

Really thinking of Free Hit on St Stephens Day with the view to captaining Salah.

It was St Patrick’s day last year he scored the 4 at home to Watford

You'd ruin Christmas Day trying to finalise your team. Imagine doing that on a belly of turkey, and then trying to get it right Stephens Day on a hangover :eek:

Don’t remind me - an atrocious bender that cost me ML last year !

No disrespect to Burton, but City and Everton will have a double game week and either, Burnley/Spurs or Chelsea/Brighton, Hazard and Kane will be essential.

Based on what I've seen of Kane - he could have a triple GW and I don't think you could say he's essential. He's playing way to deep and doesn't look like scoring 2/3 goals in games.

Stephens day is when I’d drink more. Will be on it from 11am that morning so need to worry about a hangover

I don't get the love for Lingard. Martial, albeit slightly more expensive, actually scores goals and is likely to get a lift from Mourinho leaving given their relationship is a much better option for me.
