Might just bench TAA now and play Wan Bicassa. Take the hit on the chin, first time being burnt this season. Will swap Kane out for a -4 and get Robertson in next week

Thinking the same - it would be a -4 so might stick with Bennett at home vs Leicester this week and AWB vs Southampton the week after and hope TAA might be back then!

I think I'm still going to plough ahead with Mitrovic to Rashford, and now also considering Jesus in for Kane.


Or maybe Auba??

Bah...this whole thing is a conspiracy plot by Mitrovic to stay in my team forever.

Kane to Rashford and TAA to VVD for a hit.

Could go the whole hog on a -8 and get Aguerooo in as well for Mitrooo but not convinced its worth it right now tbh

Mr.Nice Guy

Genuinely thought after activating my WC last week that my hit-taking days were over. But now need to offload TAA and Kane so might have to take a -4. If I want Firmino as a replacement I'll definitely have to take a hit since I've already got 3 Liverpool players.

Not sure what to do tbh. How much do you reckon TAA will drop in price before the next GW?

Lamela interests me but I'm already on a -4 so it wont be happening this week

OK fair enough.

How do you reckon ye will line up without Kane and Son out of interest?

Very torn on the Kane decision. Fixtures say Firmino but he's inconsistent. History says Aguero but he's now a risk. The goals table says Auba but Arsenal haven't great form and he was poor when I had him before. And I'd like to sort this before Kane drops tonight.

Lack of City cover is edging me towards Aguero.

Firmino has 4 goals in 3 games, 3 of the next 4 games are at home.
With Aguero you have to be prepared for only 60 mins of game time as well as the fact Jesus is playing well and scoring and could start games over him.

The next 4 fixtures for Untied and Liverpool and great, Both teams are at home for the next 2. Both want to continue winning for different reasons.

Compare them with city who have 2 away games and then 2 home games against Arsenal and Chelsea - tough games, coupled with rotation doesn't make the city guys that attractive imo

I've gone with Kane and Kamara to Rashford and Firmino to play along with Auba

Pool double up in defence is more appealing than firmino long term

Ace2007

How much do we think Son will drop by the time he comes back?

eh i dunno

Bobby in for Harry tonight before any price changes. Will deal with TAA next week

Prehaps, but given the way the league is going, goal difference could be key so pool will need to score more to keep up with city fire power. Couple that with Lovern, TAA and Gomez all injured, is double up the best way to go?

In addition we've seen many times that long term is not really a good strategy - look at 4/5 games in advance is better imo.

The Royal Scam

I already took a -4 before the TAA and Kane yoke so need to get them out of my team. If I Free hit will I get my -4 cancelled.

killach

Aguero and Fraiser?
Firmino and Anderson?
Sterling and Deeney?

Please help?!

Yes.

I wouldn't be using the free hit for just the 2 transfers though.


Thanks for the post Ace. Firmino has moved to to the front of the line for Kane replacements IMO. £ 2 m cheaper than Aguero and Auba gives me more to play around with.

Inspector Coptoor

Have done Firminio & Nasri for Ricky & Jiminez.
2 x FTs

I’m not sure that is correct, is it? I thought that only applied to a wildcard?

It’s the same as a WC but team reverts and you could lose value on players that return to your squad

He will also lose his extra FT

Mr.Nice Guy

I've taken a -4 to clean up the mess.

Kane and TAA out, Firmino and Digne in.

Im on -4, moving Kane and TAA would make me -12. I might just wildcard and leave free hit for a gameweek with less teams playing

Cartman78

A couple more hours of mulling and procrastinating later and I'm about to pull the trigger on a -8 for....

-Kane to Firmino
-Mitrovic to Rashford
-TAA to AWB

Worth it? Or I can hold Mitrovic for another week and hope Rashford stays quiet

Dempsey

Kane to PEA??

Cant get Firmino because I have Robertson, Salah & TAA

TAA could go but be a points hit

He could either go with back 3
Lloris
Vert-toby-sanchez
Trippier-winks-eriksen-rose/davies
Dele-llorente-lamela/moura

If sissoko fit
Lloris
Trippier-vert-toby-rose/davies
Winks-sissoko
Eriksen-dele-lamela/moura
Llorente

Also diet could be back so may feature in the holding midfield role

Whatever way it doesn't look strong but spurs do have an easier run of league fixtures but do have cup games to deal with too

ScummyMan

Martial > Salah
F Anderson > Nasri
Kane > Rashford

-4 taken

Going taking a similar -4 now myself, already have Digne, done now before any price rises or drops tonight. Will also make 0.1 on Kanes transfer out.

You'll get a nice swing on the 2 coming in who should go up tonight and Kane will drop.

I'm gone
Kane -> Firmino
TAA -> Trippier

No more red flags please this week!

IrishLad90

Mitrovic is over rated, 1goal and 1assist in his last ten games.
Rashfords form will change, I only got him into my squad the week Ole took the reins, so he has been absolutely quality for me at that price. But it's due to slow a bit.
Lacazette to score double figures this weekend is almost a definite

hufpc8w3adnk65

Where’s all the Firmnio love coming from?

magma69

PEA to Aguero
TAA to Laporte.

Can see a few dominant City displays over the next few weeks. They've another gear in them.

Got PEA altogether

Anyone worth a -4 point hit for TAA, have 2.5m in the bank

Ace2007

He's in a team, top of the table, who have 3 of the next 4 games at home.
Fixtures at home are: Palace, Leicester, Bournemouth, and have West Ham away.

They need to score goals to keep up with city's firing power, giving that it could come down to goal difference.

He has 4 goals in the 3 games, hattrick v Arsenal and goal v City. He rarely get's dropped or rested - in comparison with Aguero.

Kane is injured, Aguero is not guaranteed to start/finish a game, Jesus is same as Aguero.

There is no other striker other than Rashford who most ppl will have or will be getting that has such favourable fixtures and in a team scoring goals

Given all the above and the fact he is only 9.2m, I think he is worth getting in for the next 4 games and re-evaluating.

Rested against Wolves so I expect him to get a few starts. Can see him getting rested when CL games are looming for sure.

Sold!
I'm gonna wait though. A Kane drop doesn't cost me. Gives me more time to test my resistance to Salah.

Mitrovic is certainly not over rated. More a case of he’s been in teams so long, waiting for him to get a goal to repay the faith. It’s been frustrating owning him. Wonder if Ryan Babel would be decent from FPL perspective

There has been talk of Liverpool recalling Clyne from Bournemouth. He could be a safe starter for the next couple of gameweek

I thought it was very odd Liverpool letting clyne go without Gomez fit. Granted they can put fabinho and milner into the position.

Kane Gunn out loris aubem in . Had to do it last night cos of price changes .

Clyne can't be recalled.

Milner will probably play there this weekend. Gomez should be back for the following GW. Fabinho can also play there if needed.

COH

Had 2FT and the exact €€€ for Kane > Aguero and TAA > Robertson last night. Was going to sleep on it but glaf I pulled the trigger after the unexpected Robertson rise.

Not thrilled at the prospect of Aguero's playing time and his time in my squad might be short lived but hey, its Kun, and I just f*cking love having him! It was either him or Auba and I just don't fancy Auba this week. Easy straight swap the week after if necessary.

Was also thinking about getting Digne in for TAA which would have allowed me to get Rashford in for Arnie but I just feel better with Robertson in my team as Everton don't seem to be too solid and I have Ricky already. Hopefully Arnie plays before he heads off for China and if he doesn't then will have Mitro off the bench

lot of hits floating around already......could be a week to week to make ground if I get some big decisions right

I did:

Aubameyang to Rashford (pre-Kane injury, I was away and didn’t know about it)

Then, as a result of the injuries:

Kane -> Jimenez
TAA -> Robertson

-4 all in.

Aubameyang back in for Wilson next week is the plan, leaving me with enough money in the bank to move Fraser on for any midfield player I want the week after.

Team now is:

Fabianski
Robertson Digne Shaw (AWB, Bennett)
Salah Pogba Richarlison Fraser (Gibbs-White)
Rashford Jimenez Wilson

Within two weeks it should be:

Fabianski
Robertson Digne Shaw (AWB, Bennett)
Salah Pogba Sterling Richarlison (Gibbs-White)
Aubameyang Rashford Jimenez

Very pleased with that.

NabyLadistheman

You not worried about having no City coverage? I also dug myself a TrenchAA style hole early in the week. So far I've done the following for a -4

Alonso ----> TAA
Richardson ----> Pogba
Kane ----> Firmino

Team looks ok at this point so will decide later in the week whether to swap TAA for Robbo or upgrade Anderson to Sane

---

Fab

---AWB -- Digne -- Bennett

Pogba -- Anerson -- Hazard -- Salah

-- Rashford -- Firmino -- Jimanez

Certainly is a concern and if I hadn’t made the early transfer mistake I probably would have gone:

Kane -> Rashford
TAA -> Robertson
Fraser -> Sterling

But I can’t afford any more hits this week so will have to wait a week or two before bringing one in.

I haven’t had any City players over the last 2 gameweeks and have still had green arrows, and I think my current crop have solid enough fixtures to help me survive without them for the next two weeks (I hope!).
