Yeah I think I have a plan too. Kind of relying of getting lucky with injuries though. I wonder how many will have a Chelsea player? Mount is owned by a good few. Pulisic less so Hint Hint differential.

Defo not getting mount bit of a rotation risk in the Chelsea midfield . Also the Watford v West Ham I will give a miss

Yeah I have Sarr but chances are he'll be gone for that game. Could be a scrappy relegation affair.

manual_man

Makin' moves. Mané and Traore out for Martial and Pulisic. 2 transfers left now

manual_man

Do I dare captain Martial now though - that is the question!

manual_man

Went with Bruno captain. There's time for a risk or two later down the line if I'm within touching distance in the money leagues

claw

Bruno captain, along with Auba, Barnes, Traore and Jimenez. Not expecting much from Traore today.

Dearg81

Bruno captain for me too in sky and fpl.

Dearg81

Fernandes could rack up 20 points here, Bournemouth are awful. Hopefully Ole leaves him on for the full match.

Brought Greenwood in this week, great value.

He's some finisher.

Finally a Vardy goal. Was ready to ditch him, still might. Doherty, Traore and Jimi up next. Hoping for a goal fest.

Annoying how Martial gets 2 assists in FPL and none in sky

Donegal1234

great day for me 61 point: from 4 players 😠hopefully be up to third

Unreal. I've nothing to look forward to as the season draws to a close (spurs fan), I'm officially redirecting all my football interest into your FF team.

Thanks , start praying and lighting candles for me. Taking it one day at a time. If you gave me a top 5 finish now i would take it.

Anything possible with PEP, but have you no Liverpool attackers?

Haven’t owned a Liverpool attacking player since the overhaul in February.

Dearg81

Villa are toothless so should be a safe 7-10 pointer for Van Dijk. De Bruyne will be rested tomorrow or mid week I think.

I'll be going with Salah, I've 8 players tomorrow.

manual_man

TAA(C) for me tomorrow. Likewise feel KdB may start on the bench.

I think TAA is risky. He could on bench and has been subbed by neco Williams Past 2 games around 75 mins.

Kdb being on bench tomorrow be good for Newcastle on Wednesday.

i think TAA starts. Klopp will want to bounce back. Other options are Gomez, KdB, Pope, Ings.

I think he'll start as Villa are in a relegation fight and he'll want a reaction too. Brighton or Burnley will be the games where he will rotate.

I think Klopp makes changes, not seeing why he is picking other matches to do it. Having said that I captained Mane, but wouldn't surprise me if he is benched. Agree about KDB but hope he plays. Pope, TAA, Egan, Baldock, KDB and Mane today. Up to 7000 thanks to Fernandes and Barnes.

Dearg81

I'll be selling TAA after this to free up money for Pulisic as I need him for captaincy. Liverpool are on the beach.

I should have captained TAA but I thought he might be rested, and I think KDB might be. Hopefully they play better in the 2nd half.

manual_man

Records points total up for grabs. Anyway happy with TAA captain and Gomez as well, Pope losing the CS was a bit of a bummer as well, but at least Sheff Utd conceded.

Donegal1234

Daily update

Still 3rd and roughly same points to first. Still have 4 transfers and don’t need to make a transfer tomorrow.

claw

Up to 6100 thanks to Egan,captain Mane and TAA. No one playing today, not sure if I should put Kane or Son in for the two matches this week. Only 2 transfers left.

extra gravy

I had 3 transfers left, did Vardy to Son. Was 0.1 short of getting Kane.

Dcl could be a option if your on a budget ?

Current forward line is Auba, Jimi and Mane. Gut feeling says take out Mane if I am making a change. I still have Barnes and Traore who I am not happy about and I only have Bruno off United. Not really convinced by Spurs or Everton to be honest!

manual_man

DCL for me tonight. Would be nice if he could rediscover his form. Seems to have been getting some chances, just not taking them.

claw

Gave this match a swerve in the end. Couldn't decide if any of the strikers were worth it going forward.

Fell 5 places to 88th. I'd like to ditch DCL but need him for another captaincy. Ditched Salah and Baldock for Perisic and Antonio so I have a captain now for every match day except Norwich vs Burnley but I still have 1 transfer left. Might get Pope in if I have no injuries by then.

Donegal1234

Transfers remaining

Top 10 1.6
Top 100 2.6
Top 1000 3.0

If you take away my 4. Means top 10 have 12 transfers left. Need to use my transfers carefully to win.

What are your transfer plans? Is there any days where you dont have a captain?

Just the Norwich and West Ham game I don’t have covered. Every other game day I’m covered and don’t need to make a transfer.

Next transfer will be when Chelsea play Norwich next week. Will take out my Chelsea player. As they don’t play for 8 days after that game and every other team plays twice between then .

claw

I am not covered for Chelsea vs Norwich and West Ham vs Watford. Only have Barnes in the two matches on Sunday when Leicester play Spurs. Can only see me covering the Chelsea match if that.

Edit - looking at Sarr in for Traore. Probably mad because of his form but they are playing Norwich and I am not confident in Traore at Sheffield United or Burnley going forward.

manual_man

Debating whether to captain Pulisic or Sarr this evening. We'll have the lineups first at least. Tough call. Sarr a lot higher owned and it is Norwich... though his and Watford's form has been poor. On the other hand Pulisic has looked good, though away to Palace could be a tough game. Opinions?
