If I could get Auba without resorting to a -8 I would, but I can't really. Thinking about banking this week and doing a little surgery and recalibrating next week.

It gives us a week to see just how Arsenal may line up now that they're not playing City or Chelsea. Plus I might consider selling Salah or Mane, and it's an extra week to not have to make that decision. Would mean keeping King another week though.

I read that as selling Salah in place of King!! Either you know something nobody else does or you have balls of steel.:D

VW 1

Saw it mentioned, and worth bearing in mind, zaha will have a points difference to last year being classified as a forward as opposed to midfielder missing CS as well.

Id go with A personally, some value to be had in the 5.5 and unders, laporte or stones being cheaper ways into city defensive cover.

Hogey007

Richarlison & cook in for Cairney and Coleman.

I hesitated on richarlison last week and at that price could be essential over the coming weeks, I needed the cash from Coleman.

Also Cairney being very close to a drop and Coleman a possibility to drop by Saturday influenced it too.

Whats better?

A) Ings and a 5.5 def like Coleman/Luiz/PVA/Monreal

or

Zaha and Wan Bissaka

A) seems like the more sensible option giving me a 3rd premium-ish defender but have a feeling Zaha is going to light it up over next 5/6 games and AWB will probably score well enough as a 3rd def

A.

I’d prefer to own Ings over Zaha anyway.

Really? I had him but changed to Zaha. Better team, better fixtures and rarely injured. I know Ings looked good against Everton but I don't think much of Southampton at the moment.

I can see the logic to still go with Arnie this season but not Zaha.

Just don’t fancy him as a player.

Ings is a proper striker in that his instinct is there to score goals.

Ings is a decent striker, him and Austin up front will make a good partnership

Sané to David Silva not the worst transfer in the world right?

Having Dilva over Sane will make you sleep better IMO

In my opinion Zaha has a claim at being the best player in the league not playing in the top 6.
Arnie not so sure.

2nd Row Donkey

Considering a - 4 ; Moura out for Miki.

Moura has done nothing wrong but i have zero arsenal coverage.

Spurs away at OT while arsenal play a terrible westham at the Emirates.

Reasonable to expect Miki to score 6 more than Moura?

He's not even the best player at Palace. Long live PVA.

If you look at it over the next 4-6 weeks then yes absolutely.

But if you want it all back in one GW then not so sure.

I was thinking of swapping Eriksen for Mane, but that would mean i'd have to drop Firminho (Salah and Robertson already). Who'd be a good replacement, around 9.1m. I have Aguero and King up front already. Thinking either Mitrovic or Morata maybe.

Morata. I think. I like Mitri, but Chelsea fixtures just feal Morata has to score decently.

Morata looked decent last week. I'm holding out on Eriksen for another couple of weeks. He's been a great asset over the years, I don't want to turn my back on him just yet.

SlickRic

Have 2 FTs, but i'll probably just do the one. I'd love Aubameyang, but too much surgery is needed, and it would need decimating a team that is doing pretty well.

I've done Eriksen to Mkhi (and I did it before the price changes), leaving me with...

Foster
Robertson Mendy Hoedt
Salah Mane Ricky Mkhi Fraser
Zaha Aguero

Fabianski Kamara Peltier WanB

2 other options I'm mulling over for a possible second free transfer are:

There's a part of me tempted to upgrade Peltier to a playing defender, but meh, might just risk not doing it.

Also, could upgrade Kamara to Ings and bench Fraser who has a tricky game against Everton.

Happy to hear anyone's opinion.

Tricky game and Everton.............

Benimar

I’ve used one of my FTs to bring Pedro in for Jota.

This leaves me with:
DDG, Hamer
Robertson, Mendy, David Luiz, Peltier, Wan Bissaka
Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Pedro, Stephens
Aguero, Zaha, King.

0 ITB

Barring anything unexpected from the press conferences, I think I might hold the other FT. I can’t see an obvious change that wouldn’t involve a -4.

I have no Arsenal, but I want to see how they set up this weekend first. Peltier is a problem, but at 4.0 I might just leave him rot on the bench for now.

Chesty08

Coleman out for Alonso. Took a -4 hit.

I've got him. He's one more chance for me after this week's hard game to do something. Worried about people saying he's playing a lot deeper so far this year and appears to have lost some set piece duties.

Aubameyang or Aguero for this game week? can't afford both.

If it's a choice between just those 2. I think Aubam outscores Aguero this week.

RisingDamp

Is it worth the -4 to do the following:

Coleman/Sane out
Alonso/Pedro in

Chelsea have a great run of fixtures but im expecting Sane to be given gametime sooner rather than later

You could do Pedro in for Sane and then the following week Alonso in for Coleman?

kilburn

Posted this in the wildcard thread also so please forgive me......

So folks i am currently on this any thoughts will play 352 although i think trying to decide between Ings or Arnie to bench might drive me mad each week

Foster Etheridge
Robertson Mendy Alonso Peltier AWB
Ricky Micky Pedro Salah Bilva
Aguero Ings Arnie

.3 itb

If I was WC (and I'm thinking about it), I would look to Hamer as 4mil backup keeper, would replace Bilva (took up wing back position last week) and would go with 2 premium hitters. This is what I came up with

Hennessey (Hamer)
Alonso, Mendy and then 3 4mil defenders (Bennett, AWB and Stankovic)
Hazard Mane Miki Richarlison (Bench Fodder 4.5mil)
Aguero Aubameyang Ings

kilburn

Good point though hamer was 4.5 but he is 4m.

Both Foster and Etheridge have rough fixtures thinking will keep Foster

Will take a look and see if i can get Auba presume fraser is the cheap mid if choice

Kiith

Take Lloris out if you had him :P

shmeee

2 FT's available.

1 FT this week

Peltier -> Stankovic

Peltier rotation risk and anyway after this GW, 5 very difficult fixtures.

Team for GW3:

Ederson
Robertson, Stankovic, Holebas
Ralls, Salah (c), Mané, Richarlison, Fernandinho
Agüero, Kane

Speroni, Hoedt, Kamara, Wan-Biss

Currently ranked 24k, best start ever, have a bad feeling about this weekend though.

Will Stankovic keep his place?
Zanka is fit for selection now.

extra gravy

Think those selling Peltier for Stankovic will be in for a shock.

ScummyMan

Doherty -> Alonso
Sanchez -> Mkhi

Not fantastically happy with that, but ho hum.

I needed to offload him anyway with the run of fixtures he will have and wanted to bank another FT for next week.

If Stankovic starts, happy days, if not Hoedt will slot in for him.

Very little options in the 4mil defender range when I've gone heavy in MF and up front.

billymitchell

Did a -4 to get in Pedro, Mendy and ings for Coleman, jota and king.

Leaves me with

DDG
Mee, Daniels, Mendy
Miki, Ricki, Pedro, Salah
Aguero, auba , ings

Should be good for a few weeks with these guys, nothing of note on the bench, cairney may get moved on next week if looking like another drop

Am I the only one who has sold Aguero for GW3 :pac:

Why are people dropping Sessegnon?

Were his displays now quite impressive?

I think he may actually do well. But the answer is simple: others in his price bracket have started better, so people have jumped ship

Apparently 22,200 others have too :eek:

On the flip side 598,000 have transferred him in so, eh, good luck with that!

Madness to sell King and Lacazette to buy Mkhy and Wilson? I've already used my FT so it would cosr me -8. Bournemouth and Arsenal coverage seems essential - I've just got the wrong players. They've got to come good sometime, right? Right?

You can’t do that for -8. You are selling 2 strikers and buying 1 midfielder and one striker. There has to be a 3rd part of the transfer to balance it out.

Either way, no way I’d do it for a hit.

blackwave

Thinking of doing Coleman, Gross, King to Alonso, Pedro and Ings for -4 hit. Leaves me with the below team which I think is nicely balanced. My only other worry is Firmino but want to give him one more game as he is playing Brighton. Anyone have any other suggestions?


Foster
Robertson Mendy Alonso
Salah Pedro Ricky Mkhi
Ings Aguero Firmino

Fab - Cedric - Stephens - Wan-Bissaka

Been looking at the screen too long. Walking away now.

Coleman to 4M and roll a transfer. Leaves Gross there for next 2 good fixtures perhaps and gives you more options if Firmino needs shifting.

Ings could rise tonight so removing King gives you .9M

Head busted. This choice involves them playing every week.

A - AWB, Ings, Aubameyang = 20.5m

B - Alonso, Mkhi, Mitrovic = 20.2m

kilburn

B all day
