    A quick turnaround this week lads.

    Might do Duffy to Lamptey even though Duff is bench fodder I like to have a half decent bench because I have a few rotation risks

    The old Pep Roulette.. Eh?

    Sarr to jota, better late than never



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,652 ✭✭✭greedygoblin


    Will probably do Havertz to somebody. No idea who yet though...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Thinking about White & Son -> TAA & Bernardo for a -4.

    It's stupid to do it before both Son & Bernardo play tomorrow though, especially for a hit. I'd only be doing it early to beat the price rise.

    Antonio ---> Locadia

    Kovacic ---> Jota

    It's a shame Jota is down as a midfielder as ideally it'd have been a straight Antonio to Jota swap.

    Locadia as bench fodder and a handy million or so in the bank.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,699 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Probably Chilwell to Alonso after the Chelsea game, didnt want to take a hit to do it this week

    Have a front 3 of Jesus,Antonio and Benteke.

    Started them all this week, brought in Jesus a few weeks back as Pep was starting him consistently…..until now:(…..

    Benteke as a punt with Palaces good form till yday

    If Antonio doesn’t do something today he is getting a long overdue bullet….


    Thing is though no Strikers are bang in form and those doing reasonably well have tough fixture schedules coming up.



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


    Need a Foden replacement.

    Son, Salah, Jota & Raphina I currently own.


    where are people heading towards?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,699 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Theres not much out there given who you have already got. Maybe Conor Gallagher or Saka if his injury is just a knock.

    Id also consider hanging on to Foden provided he isnt properly injured. I know he has been a frustrating own but Citys next 8 fixtures have good potential for lots of goals. You could also do a sideways move to Gundogan or Bernado Silva.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,733 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Foden and Azpi out for Jota and James..... chasing points at this stage probably but have to stop the rot somehow



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Between the below options by selling Saka/Duffy on 2FT

    Jota/Williams or Alonso/Gallagher

    Looking to bring in a Man City mid. They have a nice run of fixtures now. Pep-roulette is a problem though with the games coming thick and fast. Bilva, Foden & Gundog all in the reckoning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Foden out for Jota. I took Gallagher out for Foden a few weeks back. Has been a terrible move.



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


    Agree with what you say. Could move to ESR either or even a sideways to Bilva or Gundogan.

    I think it is probsbly worth hearing how the injury is before making the call.

    Mahrez might be an alternative?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,497 ✭✭✭macraignil


    Cornet in for Townsend for free or Alonso and Gilmour in for Duffy and Townsend for a hit?



  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,106 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Alonso has Watford in his next game. You've got to imagine he can get done good returns there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭caviardreams


    Thinking of Lukaku for antonio - too early maybe but strikers are poor and very few stand outs



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Xander10


    I think it will be a challenging week with mid-week rotations. Ill be happy to get 11 starters.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,164 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Consider Jim Maddison. Low ownership and could be the start of a good run. Decent upcoming fixtures. Did well this weekend.

    Hasn't got 90mins all season though and don't trust Leicester this season. So pros and cons.



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


    Yes I don’t trust him to play regularly with Xmas coming up.


    Man City haven’t had a pen in league all year (I don’t think).. they’ve had 2 in CL & Mahrez scored both. Gundogan wasn’t on the pitch twice.

    Do we know who is the pen taker?

    Gundogan is now captain & I think more reliable to play. Mahrez so lively & possibly played himself into more game time. Has a decent ceiling too.

    Think I’ll switch Foden to Gundogan or Mahrez!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    James set for a price rise tonight.

    But a heavy rotation risk midweek IMO

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,459 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    My shortlist is Gundogan, Maddison, Barnes and Fraser

    Leaning Barnes at the minute, I’ve always preferred him to Maddison



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,207 ✭✭✭Shanee.


    Went Foden to Jota. Watch Foden out score him now over the Christmas



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


    I’m gonna go Gundogan. Gundogan is more assured of game time, City have decent fixtures too. Gundogan might take pens.

    I’ll have enough to move Raphina (games turn in 2 GW’s) back to Foden once we know more but be surprised if Foden plays both games this week now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭whitelightrider


    2 FT's and my midfield looks like this:

    Salah, Zaha, Townsend, Son, Bissouma.

    Was going to bring in Jota for Zaha, but both have decent fixtures.

    Jimenez, Antonio and Jesus up front. So tempted to ship Antonio off but I know he'll score if I do :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,520 ✭✭✭Dubh Geannain


    Jesus was robbed of that assist yesterday. Made a great run and cut it back for Fernandinho. Gundog trying to get his foot out of the way got the slightest of grazes. If the same logic applied to goals then we'd be looking at a massive increase in OGs. Anyway, had my moan. Jesus likely to be rotated this week. Apart from Vardy I don't see the value in any immediate replacement this week.


    So I probably need to do Sanchez (tot) -> Reguilon. Means I no longer have the funds for a straight Cancelo purchase but Spurs not as likely to rotate after the postponed game. Need 11 starters firstly.


    I see Kane has crept up in value recently also despite not hitting form in the Prem.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭FrankN1


    Does anyone know if the games on Tues/Wed this week are include for November leagues or December?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Really want to get Trent back in. He's the top performing DEF now.

    Will need to be a -4 for him, and probably sacrificing Son. Looking at Gundogan maybe but worried about rotation there with City. It's hard to take a -4 for the player to not play.

    Is Maddison too knee jerky?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,459 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Thinking Marcal to Alonso but then Livramento & White are bench fodder/rotation. Could lead to overthinking

    Stick or Twist in Pep Roulette, Foden to B.Silva or Gundogan... More Overthinking

    Also have headaches with Wilson, Kane & Antonio Lots of overthinking!

    2 FT's to make moves...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭RocketRaccoon


    Son and Ings out for Gundogan and Vardy.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    I was all set to bring in Ronaldo GW15. A lot of uncertainty now. Will United actually improve, despite their great run? Will Ronaldo be a sure starter now?


    If I don't bring in Ronaldo then I'll likely bring in one of Gundog/Silva/Jesus.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Ronaldo & Chilwell to TAA and Jimi for a -4

    Why I held Ronaldo so long is anyone's answer, partly the reason my team has suffered recently.

    2 green arrows all season so hoping to stop the rot this midweek.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭whitelightrider


    Now the fun part - who to Captain? I have Salah, but Cancello or James could also be good bets for Captain as they've decent fixtures



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,450 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Brought in ASM to bring me up to double Newcastle strikers 😎



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Xander10

    You probably dont play Bissouma but I was reading his bail expires some time around December 8th. He'll likely get an extension but you are punting on it by still owning him.

    Im resigned to keeping Antonio until Im sure a better option emerges, will likely bench him in his harder games though and play a 4-4-2. I have Jiminez as well and his fixtures get awful after this gw with him facing Liverpool, City, Brighton and Chelsea in the next 4 fixtures so he is likely first out after the midweek fixtures.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,521 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Dropping Brownhill for the Christmas season to leave Mbeumo as near perennial bench for the period.

    It's Jota or Gundogan. Both rotation risks but many players might have the same risk these few weeks. Leaning towards Jota purely because he isn't managed by Pep and less likely to weirdly disappear off the face of the earth. Have Foden anyway hoping he will be fit swift.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    FPL stats is down. Gonna make those transfers a bit trickier with the price changes.

    Leaning towards taking a -4 for TAA in.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Really cant decide whether to get Alonso or Jota in this week. Really want Jota but getting Alonso leaves more options for Sakas replacement in Gallagher/Cornet



  • Registered Users Posts: 731 ✭✭✭peterswellman


    Treated myself to a mini-wildcard (-8). Just felt in the grand scheme of things the transfers set me up long-term and allow me to make moves going forward rather than trying to play catch-up.

    Worried about Son coming back to bite me in the arse in the next three but Jota seems like a must have at the minute.

    Moved Christensen, Williams, Son, Jimenez for James, Cancelo, Jota and King.

    This leaves me with:

    Sanchez, Steele

    TAA, James, Cancelo, Duffy, Livramento

    Salah, Jota, Rapinha, Gallagher, McArthur

    Ronaldo, Antonio, King.

    is it worth bringing in James for Rudiger?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭whitelightrider


    is having Jota and Salah overkill?

    I should add that I am terrible at fantasy football.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Strike while the iron is hot. Liverpool are scoring goals these days. 2+ goals for 17 games in a row.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Marcal to Alonso & Foden to Gundogan done

    Always got it wrong with Pep Roulette so Foden to start over Gudogan and bag a hattrick is what im half expecting



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭munster87


    Vardy and Azpi out to Kane and Lamptey (-4)?

    Vardy surely gets a rest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    I had Lukaku earlier in the season when he had what looked like great fixtures and he didn’t return. I wouldn’t bring him in again until he hits form.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Took a -4 to get both and also brought in ASM for Jesus



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,193 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Rodgers as good as said that he wouldn't play - "that's the juggling act with him at the age that's he at. It he plays midweek, it's tough for him because then he's maybe not quite got the energy."

    But Vardy is still in line for a price rise.
