Different price ranges though. I got Mbemba at 4.0, Hegazi at 4.5 and Naughton at 4.5 as budget.

Kane as captain did me wonders yesterday. In addition to Lukaku, De Bruyne, B.Davies, Dakoure scoring and De Gea, Valencia and Davies getting me a clean sheet.
All I have today is Lacelles vs Liverpool and Brady vs Everton. Not expecting much points.

Currently Alli but if have to drop him to get funds for Kane.
I had lacazette, got rid of him because he only seems to get single goals for a high price. Chelsea defender might be a good shout.
And what forward would you be getting rid of for Kane?
No Firmino in the starting XI for Liverpool. That should put the brakes on some of my league rivals who are having a better GW than I am so far!
Firminho out is irritating, but Mpemba out helps, as gets me an unexpected Mee clean sheet off the bench.
Now either need Firminho to come on and do something, or to stay out and let me bring my Bournemouth defender's 6 points off the bench!

-8 incoming this week. Morata and Firmino out, plus a random defender to allow me to get Kane.
Southampton have 3 Home fixtures in the next 4. (NEW, WBA, bri, BUR)
Looking at a cheap 3rd striker for the first time this season to let me bring in Kane alongside Lukaku.
Long looks to be getting starts and got to fancy a few Saints goals over the next month. Gabbiadini and Austin sharing the sub appearances.
Morata Firmino > Kane Long
Leaves me with £2.3m banked. Rest of squad:
Elliot (Foster)
Monreal Jones Simpson (Naughton Mbemba)
Salah Mkhi Silva Ritchie (Carroll)
Lukaku Morata Firmino
The £2.3m could be used for a Hazard or KDB if one erupts or for a rainy day.
Other options include a -8 that sees Kane and Vardy in and probably Monreal downgraded.
You realise theres an internation break now so Morata could very well be back?
Yeah, but want Kane and don't fancy dropping Lukaku as I fancy us to keep turning sides over.
I've dropped down to 2nd place in my mini league so action is needed!
I think it's time to go top heavy, as my main rivals have Kane and I don't.
........................Foster
...... Davies ...... Jones ...... Cédric
Mkhitaryan .. Salah .. Ritchie .. Richarlison
...... Kane ...... Lukaku ...... Morata
I need to take -4 to go with this tonight. I'll eventually get David Silva in for Mkhitaryan, so I have Man City cover, but I'm not taking -8 for it this week. Thoughts please?

Had a ok week, 60 points but not good enough for my ML as I still dropped a place!
ESPN are saying that Morata had an MRI scan today and is withdrawn from Spain squad with a grade 2 injury, that's got to be at least 4 weeks out?
What a pointless transfer for me!

I transferred him in too

So annoying, Ben Dinnery who is basically an FPL guru is now saying on Twitter he may be back for Palace
who knowsI'm thinking about getting rid of Mkhi as our upcoming fixtures are gruelling. The problem is that there's no decent alternatives in his price range (except City's players who are rotated too frequently).
I feel like the only value is in the top range strikers and midfielders right now. It makes it really hard to plan.

I had my worst week getting just 45 points. I even used up my wildcard! My entire defence and keeper are midtable club players which has turned out to be a disaster.
gonna use my wildcard this week.
So Morata is likely to play against Palace?
I want to keep him as Chelsea have some tasty fixtures.

I'd take him out for one of Sterling or Sane. With Aguero out, both of them will start most games. City have some easy home games coming up too.
Yeah thinking the same, which one though?! That’s the killer issue for me.
Guy in my league is currently second in the world, I'm not actually joking. Just when you think you are having a good week, you look at his score.
Cool. What's his team?
I'm going to take a risk and keep Morata in. He will have a 2 week recovery period over the international break so fingers crossed. Also I bought him for 10 and he's now 10.4, so I have some profit wrapped up in him.
That's why I'm avoiding both. Game time will probably be split 50/50.
Ooof, absolutely love that team - it's very similar to mine.
What's your team value as that side is pretty expensive. I've built mine up quite nicely but think I'd struggle to afford that.
Thanks. I made the change and went with it last night. It may be a little top heavy but not having Kane was hurting me and there was no way I was getting rid of Lukaku. Just need to hope Morata comes back from injury quickly.
Team value is currently £101.7. Davies is set to rise 0.1 tonight, so it'll be £101.8.
My team value is 102.6 but I don't think I'd be able to afford it.. weird.
Wow, that's big value. That is strange though. What's your team?
Elliot / Krul
Kolasinac / Davies / Jones / Naughton / Mbemba
Salah / Mkhi / Ritchie / Grob / Carroll
Kane / Lukaku / Morata
Team value 102.5 with 0.1 in the bank
Kolasinac / Davies / Jones / Naughton / Mbemba
Salah / Mkhi / Ritchie / Grob / Carroll
Kane / Lukaku / Morata
Team value 102.5 with 0.1 in the bank
Is going for money a good strategy? Going by price changes, I should replace Salah with Coutinho but I don't wanna do that. At the end of the day, all we want is points, right?
Great team.
Staying on the correct side of price rises is important as it leaves more money in the pot for future use. The few guys I'm challenging in my mini league have teams worth 100 or 100.1 so they may struggle to improve their team much when it comes to wildcarding or getting in an inform player.
I wouldn't make an unnecessary change just to beat a price rise though. Only if I really want a player I keep an eye on his price and try to beat any rises if I have a free transfer or I'll take a -4 if I'm desperate. I have Salah and I'm keeping him even though Coutinho's value is set to rise.
Thanks, that's what I needed to hear. But on a similar note..
You could make even more profit by getting in Jesus, whose price is about to rise. If I were Conte, I wouldn't rush Morata back so he'll possibly miss/ not start the first 2 PL games after break.
Haha you read my mind.
I absolutely would if I had enough money. I only have 10.2 for Morata as you get half the rising value for profit only, so I haven't enough to buy Jesus. I'll wait to I have another free transfer and then I'll maybe go for a cheaper defender to get Jesus in, but I don't want to take another -8 to do it now as I've already taken -4 to get Kane.
Wow, didn't expect Jesus to rise so quickly.
With the Morata injury confirmed he's the obvious replacement so I'll probably end up making that move, but very annoying to miss out on that 0.1m.
Thinking of selling Mkhi for Sterling - partly to fund Morata to Jesus, but City's fixtures are also fantastic and Mkhi hasn't been playing great.

Very annoying, as Jesus didn't show up on the price change predictor so I thought I had a bit more time to decide.
Yep didn't see that coming so quick!
price changes 03/10/2017.
Risers
Davies - 5.9
Jesus - 10.5
Fallers
McClean - 4.9
Dier - 4.9
Firmino - 8.5
Milner - 6.2
Ince - 5.8
Cabaye - 5.4
Knockaert - 5.7
This is the first time I'm dealing with the 'price change' business. Although I did get Jesus before the rise, I must say I didn't particularly using my free transfer right at the start of international break. It's always a risk.
Maybe a double rise could sway my opinion but I will be uneasy for two weeks now. Here's hoping Pep has had a talk with the Brazil manager!

Just curious but who did you have, and who did you sub to get up to 102.6? I've been pretty aware and even had Hegazi and Davies before their rises, but I'm only at 101.8
Players in my current team who have risen by 0.2 or more are: Mkhi (0.5), Salah (0.2), Grob (0.2), Kane (0.3), Morata (0.4), Davies (0.2).
Then Jones, Naughton, Ritchie, Lukaku have all risen by (0.1).
So that is an increase of 2.2m just on current players.
Then in terms of players I have sold I have banked (which is the much more important part when it comes to value) 0.1m from: Firmino, Aguero, Bailly and Lukaku.
That is the other 0.4.
