Fantasy Football 2017/18

Nothing particularly wrong with that. A goal and two assists is nothing to scoff at.

Goal and one assist. 2bonus points to make it 11.
Got some of us a little out of a hole who took out kane with 2goals and 3bonus.
But morata out is obviously more of a loss. But who would have seen a hatrick there?

I did read some article about Stokes defence being a shambles, missing players etc. Fair play to anyone to who did captain, smart move if you didn't have Aguero.

I did ok this week, 63points. Starting to find my feet now. I built up two FT and used them last night quiet hastily!

Alonso out for Jones, Firmino out for Morata.

I'm a big fan of Alonso so he was tough to get rid, but he should have been sent off on Saturday. Jones is on fire and see no reason why he will be dropped in the league except for injury but that's the same as anyone.

Also fairly confident that Chelsea will beat Man City at the weekend.

True. Wouldn't have captained Morata so point return would have been similar. But God damn Vardy. Had he scored that penalty, would have capped off a good week for me. Did loads of tinkering around with the team do that I could get him in. Still got 67 points so can't be too mad.

I didn't have the transfers for him but if I had two I would have brought him in because I knew Wimmer and Cameron was injured, Martins Indi wasn't 100% and Zouma was ineligible because of the loan and that pretty much made it a clear win for Chelsea in my view.

Hat-trick wasn't foreseeable, it never is, and perhaps a bit flattering considering how clinical they were in the match but a goal or two was expected and that's a better feeling than Kane at that point in time.
 
I'd love a front 3 of any of Kane, Lukaku, Aguero, Morata - I just can't get a good midfield/defence to back it up.

You could go Aguero-Lukaku- Morata, with Salah and Eriksen, and still have De Gea and B Davies in, which is a strong 7.

But agreed, in midfield you'd be fielding 3 fairly lowly players.

I've Firminho, and 0.9m to upgrade, but would have to put the 6.4 of Redmond (who has done nothing!), down to a 5.5 man, which with RLC and a Swansea 4.5m as it is, isn't good enough.

Need a 5-6m striker to emerge as must have. Abraham doesn't quite do it for me

Hemed and Tammy are the only ones worth looking at. You can take a look at Choupo-Moting for 5.5, considering he plays mainly as a striker for Stoke.
 
Just when everyone have the best fixture in the world I have a terrible one. 41 total, dropped from 50k to 400k(and counting) and I feel absolutely gutted
 
I am currently thinking of this:

Elliot / 4.0m

Kolasinac / Davies / Jones / Naughton / Mbemba

Mkhi / Salah / Ritchie / Gross / Carroll

Aguero / Kane / Morata

Great start to the wildcard so far - really felt like those were the right strikers to go for.

Hopefully Kolasinac can keep his clean sheet tonight.
 
When Pogba's back I can upgrade my third striker to Aguero or Jesus. Jesus would mean I can keep Valencia, Aguero would mean either keeping Davies, or getting Otamendi.

So do we think Valencia and Jesus, or Aguero and Davies or Otamendi?

I'm leaning towards the former.

Aguero and Davies/Otamendi. I just don't think Jesus is worth owning unless Aguero is injured, out the available 540 minutes of league football, he's only played 60% of them. Can you really afford to spend 10.5m on a player who is playing 60% of the time?

You're the hero I needed. He'll probably be too expensive or injured by the time I can do this though :lol:

I would also point out...don't take my advice I'm having a shocker so far! :lol:

Every logical move I've made seems to back fire, Jesus will probably come on for 20 minutes at the weekend and score a hat trick.

:lol: feck. I think you're right about Aguero though.
 
With man city is a gamble, but one you must take.

Most of their players aren't guaranteed 90 minutes but they play such attacking football that you can't afford to leave their forward players out.

I've gone for David Silva (as he seems the nailed on starter besides KDB and is cheaper) and Kun.
 
Tricky captaincy decision this week...

Lukaku vs Palace
Or
Kane at Huddersfield

Both on form, both decent fixtures...

I'm going for Lukaku. I mean all the logic in the world is telling me that United will smash Palace at home, a team who conceded 3 goals to Huddersfield, just got smashed 5 nil, haven't scored a goal yet. I'm half tempted to captain Valencia.

This is the prem though so all that could be feck all.
 
The form of Morata is tempting me to trade Kane and save 2.2 which would mean I'd then be able to trade Baines 5.9 and Hegazi 4.9 for Bailly & Azpilicueta....:confused:
 
Big decision this week is Aguero to Kane or not.

Did the reverse last week and just about got away with it. Should that be notice, now that Kane has got 6 in the last 4 games in all comps?
Or is it pure folly to go City attack less?

Maybe this week is "safe-ish", away to Chelsea, but going forward it might be awkward

Maybe Aguero - Kane this week, and wildcard over the int break.

Have Redmind, and 4.5m RLC and Swansea's mid I can't even remember his name, ex Tottenham. 1 assist between the 3 of them in 6 game weeks!
Firminho probbo needs shipping too.
 
wtf who's the Pool RB, Gomez or Alex-Arnold?
I feel like it's the opposite of who I have in my squad every week...
 
Mendy is going to decrease in value surely, due to his long term injury. I've already made my FT this week, but am considering getting Mendy out (possibly for Otamendi or Azi) before his value drops. Is this good thinking? Or is 0.1 decrease > -4 points loss?

Your better off with the 4 point loss. If the transfer keeps clean sheet, then you make the points back. It's tough to make money back so worth not losing it.

Don't get a Liverpool defender. They hardly ever keep clean sheets and rotate.

Better off getting someone from the likes of Burnley... Maybe ward or mee. Much more defensively stable team.

I too got Aguero for Kane last week. Although I slightly regret the decision now, doing the reverse now would be making a similar mistake. I do want Aguero medium-term so I'll probably ride out this GW.

I actually might not have Kane for the next 4-5 weeks if I keep Rom.
 
Hazard or Sanchez ?

Sane or Silva ?

Mane or Ali ?

Gona take a -8 this weekend. Cant get anything right this season !

Unfortunately Aguero will be out for a while now.

I got Hazard but for the next few fixtures I think Sanchez will be better

Sane or Silva is a tough one but for me Silva slightly edges it as Sane might go back to starting LWB with Mendy out injured

Alli or Mane depends on the rest of your team, do you have other Pool or Spurs cover?
 
Aguero out for 2 months.

Great player but always misses big chunks of the season, that's why I've avoided him this year. Obviously this was an unforeseen car crash but I'm glad he's not seriously injured.
 
So... Jesus or Morata then? I have David Silva so maybe Morata as I got no Chelsea player...
 
Nothing like a car crash on a Friday to mess everyones Fantasy Football plans! Imagine most people will swap for Jesus, but I think Morata is better option personally.

If anyone is interested, price changes 29/09/2017.

Risers - 0

Fallers -
Danilo - New price 5.4m
Gabbiandini - New price 6.7m
Alonso - New price 7.0m
Chamberlain - New price 5.8m
Great timing for Danilo, he could be worth a look with Mendy out.
 
Glad I brought Jesus in for the game he played no part in, then immediately took him out.

How come Alonso is falling? People realising it might not be worth spending that much on a defender or just because of one game where they probably won't keep a clean sheet?

Yea strange one. It's a lot of money though and Azpi is outscoring him atm.
 
Just played my wildcard Kane, Lukaku and Morata up front, Eriksen and Salah in midfield :lol:
