    Is there any reason why Aguerooooooo is in zero draft teams I've seen so far??

    Price i'm assuming, people seem they all want minimum Salah/sterling and so on

    Jesus looking to have reclaimed some form during the Copa America and Aguero being a year older I can see more rotation this year than last. Not worth the risk @ 12m

    OK, 3rd time , will only make maybe one more change for GW1

    Fabianski (Button)
    Robertson, Walker, Tarkowski, Coleman (Duffy)
    Salah, Sterling, McGinn (Buendia, Noble)
    King, Jimenzez, Haller

    Maybe a lot feel he was coming off early in games last year whereas Sterling seemed to start or not play.

    That may not be true but I think it’s the perception.

    I’m struggling to decide which one to go for.

    I think Kun being a year older, as per above post, and Jesus needing/wanting games may come in to it too.

    Edit - if VAR leads to more penalties you’d have to think City will get a lot more spot kicks as they spend so much time in the opposition box. Is that a good or bad thing for Kun ? Will Sterling take them if Kun is off the pitch ?

    I just do not like any of my teams with sterling and salah in them along with premium defence
    I think I will stick with KDB

    I also am still very uncomfortable having such a light attack
    Kane at 11ml is just so damn tempting.........3 lovely home games in 5
    away to City gw 2 is a problem. Away to Arsenal gw 4 not so much

    I might just put him in for now......

    Kane is the standout striker for me at the start of the season but I can't get him in. I would have to take out Vardy and weaken my defence to get him in. And I don't know if the "Kane doesn't really score in August" is still a thing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,703 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Kane on my radar too...it's basically boiling down to Aguero + Lucas Moura, or Kane + Bilva.

    Having typed it out and taking the replies above into account, I'm leaning towards Kane now

    I took Vardy out for him
    They have a tough enough start
    After that I had to downgrade one 4.5 ml keeper
    Duffy to 4.5 (was going to happen anyway )
    Jorginho to 4.5
    So not much compromise for me
    I think I’ll be keeping him

    However if kdb continues to play deep that’s a problem
    I was burned by him for that reason last year too at start of season
    And by Kane
    Hhmmmmm

    3 lovely home games for Kane...we've been here before... Until he shows he's a reliable captaincy option again in those easy home games, I won't be going near him. Leicester can score against anyone, I'm not letting the tough start talk me out of Vardy.

    Tempted by KDB but he's so injury prone and not someone I'd captain, I'd rather pay extra for a consistently fit and potentially explosive Sterling.

    Pretty much my thoughts as well, feel like its too much in the midfield and too much sacrifice elsewhere - to give an example

    Ederson, Zinchenck, KDB

    Vs

    Heaton, A.Smith, Sterling

    If that's the case I might as well forget Kane, put Sterling in for KDB and find 2.0m from somewhere. Lovely :)

    He broke his August jinx last season.... in gw2 vs Fulham I think it was.

    I'll be watching him closely in pre season as this is the first summer he's had a proper rest as last year he was coming back a world cup and the 2 seasons before that spurs had some mad end of season tours in Australia/world cup qualifiers.

    He scored a decent goal at the weekend!

    Elmo won't play for Villa and McGinn loves a yellow card

    Cheers for the heads up but looking at his stats last year was he not first choice?

    Current state of chassis:

    Ryan (Button)

    VVD Stones Digne (Targett, Kelly)

    Eriksen Salah Sterling Tielemans Zaha

    King Delofeu (Greenwood)

    Guilbert is the preferred right-back now.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭Stevieluvsye

    Super, swapped. I note McGinn is your playmaker of sorts so is a cheap option

    Your front three looks weak enough, putting a lot of pressure on your midfield and also Eriksen is a hot and cold type player.

    I remember dumping him early September last year

    Yeah he was a fairly recent tinker, probably won't last that long. I might backtrack to previous version, something like Laporte for Targett, Martial for Eriksen.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Looks like I am set!

    Heaton (Button)

    Robertson Zinchenko Digne (Aarons, Kelly)

    Salah Siggy Zaha James (Guendozi)

    Kane Vardy King.


    Will only be logging in now to enter league codes. Good luck. See you all on the 9th !

    Eriksen was the only spurs players left on the bench and got zero playing time in the friendly vs juventus the other day. Even all the academy lads got a run out.

    Go with Son or Moura if u want spurs cover.

    Son is suspended for the opening games - so Moura might be best

    Posted this in other thread when someone asked about a team with Kane, Salah and sterling together 》》》》》

    Draft 1

    4.5m playing keeper

    VVD, Azpilicueta, Dunk, Lascelles (or some other 4.5m def)

    Salah Sterling Moura Jorghinho

    Kane Vardy


    4m non playing keeper
    4m defender (Kelly of palace looks best option)
    Dedonker
    Greenwood

    So on the plus side it's got big hitters like Kane, Vardy, Sterling, Salah, VVD and Azpilicueta and even Moura and Dunk are reasonable shouts but the big worry is starting a 4.5m gk with no rotation option, starting Jorghinho each week and no bench options other than Dedonker


    Draft 2 would involve downgrading Moura to anyone of the 7m options like Zaha, Milo, Perez, Brooks, Maddison, Teilman or one of the Chelsea trio - Willian, Pedro or Barkley.

    This would allow a 5m keeper like fabianski

    1st final draft :D

    Ryan (Button)- had been on Pope/Heaton assuming Heaton moves to Villa
    TAA, VVD, Digne, Targett(any 4.5), Lundstrum(or kelly)
    Salah, KDB, Siggy, Zaha, Dendoncker (any 4.5)
    Kane, King, Greenwood

    It is only now that I type it out that I see I will be playing my 4.5mldef/mid/fwd every week and it doesn't look promising :D

    I will be honest. It is hard enough for me to spend so much money on defence. But to spend 13.5 on 2 from the same team.......I can't see it. I am very tempted by Zivchenko. Only spotted he is 5.5ml. If I switch him for VVD I can get a 4th defender for 5.5ml or upgrade 5th mid etc Could go back to rotating keepers and put Duffy back in as my 4th defender.He was their originally and only made way when I went with Brighton keepers. He could sneak his way back in yet!!!!!
    I could also downgrade Zaha to Perez for another .5 and strengthen squad even more.

    Kane is staying. I have made peace with that decision already. So no Sterling

    What ye think?
