Treated myself to a hit for Christmas

Pope

Targett | Lordy | Kelly

Alli | KDB | Cantwell | Richarlison (C)

Jimenez | Vardy | Abraham

Subs: Button | Mane | TAA | Rico


Starting to waver a bit on Richarlison captain but will stick with him for the craic....have nothing to lose at this stage so no big swing either way

I’m beginning to lean towards captaining Ricky
Currently on Jiminez

Have a back 5 of Ryan, Rico, Lord, Egan, Target.

All aboard the cheap defender train!

Best cheap defender to replace Cahill?

Thinking Targett at the moment.

dsmythy

Just kept Liverpool players in the end. Swapped Hanley for Dunk so I can hopefully guarantee a bench since I also have Wood and Pulisic who may not play.

Henderson
Lundstram Chilwell Dunk Kelly
KDB Grealish Pulisic
Vardy(c) Rashford Wood

Rico or Kelly. Bournemouth’s fixtures are excellent

That and villa are bad

I’m a bit worried about Bournemouth’s injury problems though. They seem to have about 8 or 9 first-teamers out.

Start Conolly home to Sheffield Utd or Aurier home to Chelsea?

KevIRL

Pointless question of the week. Start Douglas Luiz or soy? Both probably get one point

I did that move. Not convinced by Villa defence but he looked like the best option for the next 4 games.

I’m sure I read somewhere that Douglas Luiz may not start. Could be an injury.

Please don’t be angry if I’m wrong but it’s in my head.

I’ve read a lot this week.

Aurier is the one I’d start

Soyoncu
They will both likely score 2 or less
But there is a chance soy might get attacking returns given city’s propensity to concede from corners

Scrap this.

Thought I’d read it on FFS but can’t find it anywhere.

Sure I did read something though.

Luiz. Leicester surely aren’t keeping a clean sheet and Luiz has a shot on him

macraignil

Gazzaniga
Guilbert, Lundstram, Kelly
Ali, Son(c), Cantwell, De Bruyne
Abraham, Ings, Vardy

Button, Chilwell, Mane, Robertson

Was hoping to use free transfer to sort out a new goal keeper with this weeks fixtures but getting De Bruyne back in was more essential I think.

Good luck!

Not feeling too confident but hopefully I'll get a little bit of luck!

I chickened out of doing this same transfer and I immediately regret it upon seeing the Arsenal line up!

Best of luck!

Great to see another Richarlison captain :-)

Our GW could go up in flames very quickly

As a fan I like that team. Dropping the underperforming wasters and giving a chance to the hungry young lads.

The wonderfish

Pope
Lundy Baldock Dunk Soy
KDB Son Grealish (cpt)
Vardy Tammy Ings

Good luck all!

Soy first sub I’m not happy about.

All in on captain Aubameyang (I’m spelling his full name in the vain hope it helps).
No Sunday Game for me, all players playing today.

I think there could be some good value in the likes of Saka at 4.5m etc.

Was eyeing up that punt, could be a great call. He's played very well under Big Dunc.

Yeah he'll be reverse oop at lb for a few games though but maybe in the new year when Kolasinac is fit again.

None of top 5 in my league captained son thank god
Amazed at that

5 different captains
Ricky (me)
Vardy
Rashford
KDB
Kane

Interesting week ahead

nullObjects

Games back up if you wanted to check

Clicked into about 10 teams before I saw two people with the same captain. Should be an interesting week. Good luck all

Let it begin
No hits

Ryan
Evans Rico Walker
Son Mount Tielemans Cantwell
Mousset Rashford (c) Vardy

Cartman78

There's some spread of captains alright for a change.....literally nobody around has Richarlison nevermind captaining him lol.

Himself and Jiminez will decide my GW. Rashford and Son could destroy it.

I see 2nd in the world has captained Ings

That’s some arsenal team.......
Saka left back ??????
They are there to be torn apart

loadwire

Had 2 FTs and planned to use one just to upgrade Pope but didn't get to it in time this morning so I've wasted an FT which never feels good. I always seem to do something sloppy transfer-wise like that once or twice a season. Happy enough with my squad and he doesn't have a bad fixture this week so hopefully it doesn't matter too much.

Pope (McGovern)
Lundy Rico Kelly (Robertson, Soy)
Alli, Son, KDB, Dendoncker (Mane)
Vardy, Ings, Jimenez (c)

He played LB the last couple of matches in fairness, so it's not a shock. Horrendous though at LB
