Feck it, I think I'll chance Targett, would start him for the next 4. Mings absence is a worry but those fixtures and his attacking potential are swaying me.

I'm going for Guilbert. It doesn't exactly have the feel of the Coleman V Baines choice from a few years ago

Fitz*

I was in the market for that cheap defender. Targett seems interesting now.

This week the cheap defenders seem to have some nice fixtures, with potential for some 0-0s

Bournemouth - home to Burnley
Sheff Utd - home to Brighton
Brighton - away to Brighton
Villa - home to Southampton
Newcatle - home to Palace
Palace - away to Newcastle

Team is
Pope
Kelly Lundy Rico
Maddison Grealish Son Douglas.L
Vardy Jesus Abraham

Stek Soyuncu Robertson Mane
1.3m in the bank
Used my FT for Mount to Grealish.
Would it be worth going Maddison to Richy.
Or Mane to KdB for a -4?

Thinking would be Mane to KdB this week.
Next week Maddison/Robertson to Salah/Aurier
Or Maddison/Jesus to Salah/Pukki
Want Salah over Mane going forward and not having KdB is killing me.

Any thoughts lads?
Looking at my league I think I need to get KdB in. Although the price rise last night is annoying

The Phantom Jipper

I'm tempted by Grealish with the fixtures but is there anything to be said for McGinn to save a few bob? Does anyone know how he's looked lately?

ElTel

Got Maguire in for Tomori.
Have just enough for Saka to Traore with last FT.

It’s Grealish or nobody if you’re going the Villa route.

McGinn has been completely out-of-sorts the last month or so.

Go Grealish, he's the main threat

Shanee.

This could be a tricky game week with most of the main teams playing each other

Well that's why they're in that price bracket isn't it? You could take a punt on Aguero if you have the cash to burn

Exactly, that’s my point & why I’d be looking elsewhere to Maupay for now.

McGinn has been playing through injury

If anyone has time take a gander at ‘General Chat Thread’ to assess my thoughts on Mane to Grealish.
Cheers.

Waste of a transfer if you plan on bringing him Back in the following GW and you'll lose 0.2. Should be looking to strengthen your squad to cover rotation/injury over Christmas

What's your current 15?

I reckon the third fixture has the makings of a draw.

Guaita Henderson
Aurier Guilbert Soyanchu Kelly Lundstram
Maddison Mane KDB Son Cantwell
Ings Rashford Vardy.
Usually play 3:4:3
Guilbert Aurier Cantwell on bench last week or two.

Rotate keepers.

Guilbert hasn’t scored well as Villa defence like a sieve lately but Villa have great run of games coming up.
Aurier prob deserves a start soon:)
Cantwell back in form
So not really in a rush to change my squad much for Xmas fixtures.

Am I missing any obvious change?

PARlance

Lundstrum to Lundstram is about it.

Hold onto Mane.

darego

**** it. after going double villa for the next 4 weeks. maddison and soyunco out, targett and grealish in

I’ve 29 minutes to decide on KDB to Son for a -4

Son rises tonight.

It’s the transfer I’d planned.

Spurs have a much nicer next 4 than City.

It’s not just for one game.

But

Leicester will defend deep and try to counter so KDB will play further up. He’s in good form.

I have Alli and selling KDB would mean a Spurs double up and no City players.


It’s a -4 and I don’t like those.

dwayneshintzy

Mount out for Grealish here

Selling players in good form is always a no for me, whats the rest of your team?

The rest of my team is awesome but for the record -

Pope

TAA, Aurier, Lundstram, Rico, Kelly,
Mane, KDB, Alli, Richarlison (bought yesterday), Hayden
Vardy, Jimenez, Abraham

I’m not afraid to sell a player that has just hauled.

I'd bank, you've a fairly good bench so you can survive without Mané for a week

Also got Targett and Grealish in for Robertson and Guendouzi. Will have Bench a strong attacker each week but have a feeling that won’t be a problem over Xmas.

You're really stretching that definition with Guendouzi

Chuck Noland

Need to get in bench cover for this weekend I think

Pope/Heaton
Rico Soy Ludstram
Sissoko Sterling Grealish Zaha
Vardy Jiminez Ings

Have Clarke (inj) Mane and Robertson on the bench will have 6.2 to spend on replacing Clarke who would people get in over Xmas for him?

Guendouzi is out for Grealish. He was my
Midfield fodder.

Also brought in Targett and Grealish. I'll now have 14 starters next GW. Could bring in Martin then and BB but it's the worst time to do it I guess with all the rotation!!

I think like I did with palace people are getting sucked in by villa
Yes they have good fixtures but they have a few injuries and are just not very good !
Grealish is plenty imo

+1 on this 3 clean sheets all season and 1 in the last 12 gws I'm in no hurry to get any of their defenders especially without mings

Engels has just returned from injury and came back a little sooner due to Mings injury. He was only sub that day. If he was fit he would have started.
Targett I had in my head was struggling with an injury 2 games ago but he must have overcome it
McGinn is playing through injury
So they obviously have a very thin squad for the upcoming run of games.
And Grealish is one booking away from suspension......only needs to get through the weekend though.
Double Villa is not warranted imo

Nope. He also has to get through GW19.

CSF

Would approach Villa defensive players with caution also. We’re usually a good side, however with no ability to sit deep and snuff the game out when needed.

Some of the clean sheets already kept have been more good fortune than good defending.

The only reason I’m giving mild consideration to a Villa defender is some must-win fixtures against poor teams and low prices.

Would think Grealish followed by El Ghazi (poor player who gets into lots of attacking positions) would be my order of choice with Villa FPL assets.

Porthallian

Plan now is Mane to KdB this week.

Next week Jesus/Douglas.L to Salah & Greenwood/Martinelli

Giving me
Salah Son KdB Grealish Maddison
Vardy Abraham (Cheap FW)

It's 2 hits but I like that front 8

Chesty08

Lads it’s Xmas period, there will be goals galore.. focus on attacking returns, any defensive should be treated as bonus. Don’t be taking hits to get in defenders

Man U defender perhaps? Check for 4 YCs/suspension risk though.
I'd upgrade Sissoko instead. Would give you a forward benching headache but leaving some cash itb could make it more bearable.

Yes. Worried he could more than cover that if I don't get him in. I'd be playing Soyuncu without him

Is Greenwood going to now become part of the United staring eleven?

carnie

I did a silly thing last GW. I left everything to the last minute without any serious thinking.

I transferred Sterling to Son.

Now the issue is that I already have Moura in my set up and there's certainly no need for two Spurs mids.

Who do I drop. I'm leaning on Son for the long term but Moura will also get goals, as per last weekend.

Sorry I had to!

To answer your question, I think Solskjaer has been talking him up recently but only to keep his head up I feel. He may get the odd start here or there in the next while but I wouldn't be counting on him to feature lots in the starting XI.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

The last few weeks I have had Son & Alli and combined they have returned 4, 30, 11. I only had Son the week previous to that and he got 10 when Alli got 15 so would have been a combined 25.

55 points they have returned for me over the last 4 weeks, no captaincy. Roughly 7 points per player per week.

And I'm not afraid to double them up over the next 4 weeks either

I doubt it, only just gone 18 and they seem to be easing him into it. Lots of talk of another striker being added in the January window as well.

100% agree. I’m looking at doing similar with Salah & Mane with sticking with one C & the other VC.

There is no way both get rested for same game and like we’ve seen in last 3 games they’ve scored highly and I think will continue to do so.

km79

A LOT of the main players are playing for united Everton and Leicester tonight ..........

extra gravy

I've gone off Villa defence in favour of Brighton now. Going to take a punt on Webster I think. Fixtures are mixed but he has better stats than Targett and is a decent threat from set pieces.

extra gravy

Kelly has 30% ownership bloody hell. Despite all the injuries, might make more sense to just get him in instead of trying to be too clever. If he hauls, it will hurt.
