Get in - captained Coutinho.
Could be looking at a good week here.

My faith in Lukaku paying off (9 points). Everyone mostly has the same players now, so it's good that nobody in my mini league has Lukaku.
How dare Salah start, they get 2 goals, and he isn't involved in either of them?
Edit: There you go.

Clean sheet for Kenny and a Rooney hat-trick and that will have all worked out pretty well.
feck. Needed DDG to keep a clean sheet.
Jesus and Davies coming on ruined it a bit. Getting in Arnautovic and Masuaku paid off.
feck was going to change mbemba for Holgate but thought I'd wait until Everton play in case of injuries... Mbemba just went down 0.1 
Not sure what to do about transfers this week.
What do people think about Richarlison & Morata to Lingard and Aguero ?
Or alternatively a boring Naughton to Masuaku ?

My three forwards scored 1, -1 and 1.
Considering that, I'm pretty happy with a score of 51. Valencia, Loftus-Cheek, Alonso and captain Salah scoring nearly all of my points!

If Aguero doesn't smash some points going to replace him with lukaku... Sick of having an expensive player that isn't guaranteed 90 minutes
Lingard does seem like a great option, jose likes him and with our fixtures we look like a good bet. Not sure about Morata > Aguero though? Morata is pretty nailed on to start for Chelsea when he is fit.
I'm thinking of doing Gross > Pogba and Walker > Masuaku for a -4 hit.
Does anyone know whats up with David Silva ?
Only rumours which aren't worth posting tbh. Hopefully nothing serious.
I am thinking the same. Will help me bank 0.3 to use somewhere else.
Will monitor how the midweek matches go since both are far away from any price changes.
This is why I have completely veered off both Jesus and Aguero. They are a liability in FPL right now.
I am thinking of something outlandish. This is my team:
Forster
Jones - Kenny - Monreal
Salah - Hazard - Silva - Richarlison - Gross
Kane - Morata
Subs: Elliott, Long, Niasse, Mbemba.
I am thinking of swapping Monreal with Ogbonna and Richarlison with Pogba.
WHU has been doing pretty well since last 4 GWs and they have decent fixtures coming up (plus a DGW) and Pogba is Pogba.
And should Pogba's arrival improve Lukaku, it would be an easy transfer to free up some funds. Still on the fence with the initial transfer though. It can go either way in a big manner.

Was gonna beat my opponent in the cup who had Rooney as captain until that penalty miss become a feckin assist ! I hate this game sometimes !
So...
Forster
Jones - Kenny - Ogbonna
Salah - Hazard - Silva - Pogba - Gross
Kane - Morata
Subs: Elliott, Long, Niasse, Mbemba.
In my opinion that's an incredibly risky team. Defense the biggest risk. West Ham won't keep this form up forever, Kenny will be out when Coleman returns in new year, and Phil Jones is Phil Jones.
Midfield and fwds are
but coming into the Xmas schedule - your bench will make or break you (rotation, injuries, GWs coming thick and fast), and that bench is very weak - three players there who aren't guarenteed to get into the matchday squad, let alone get minutes week in, week out.Taking Richarlison out with Watford's upcoming games is brave. I was actually thinking of bringing in Gray with Deeney banned for 3 matches. They've got Brighton and Swansea at home in the next 3.
Coutinho and Calvert Lewin out for Gray and Pogba?

Doesn't he have a problem with is hair, or something?
I thought I saw a thread about it somewhere.
I put Declore in when he was doing well and he promptly did nothing whilst Richarlison was doing well. So I swapped then over, and Richarlison dried up and Declore started ripping it up. fecking Twatford
Papers say he is in Valencia with Family, must be a bereavement or something.

And there endeth the ff lesson I feel. Never knee jerk based off 1 or 2 games.
With that in mind I think I'll hold Morata and Kane and stick with my boring Naughton/Mee to Masuaka transfer depending on what happens midweek in the cup games
Tempted to downgrade Vardy to a 4.5 non-entity and then upgrade Loftus-Cheek to Pogba or Sane
Please do, by the law of FF (see above) Vardy will start ripping it up and I will benefit.
I want to do the same with Lacazette and get a City midfielder in for Groß , Can't decide between Sterling or De Bruyne though.
Your thought about rotation is true, but that would mean that Long, Niasse, Mbemba might get a look in given that they consistently feature on the bench. Also, for example, the Burnley defender is now suspended for 3 games. Which means I can use Long for 1 game at least.So...
Forster
Jones - Kenny - Ogbonna
Salah - Hazard - Silva - Pogba - Gross
Kane - Morata

The defense is a risk, for sure. But last couple of GWs have seen me fall from 100k to 500k. So I need to make up some numbers quickly. If this doesn't work, I can anyway downgrade Hazard to upgrade the defense.
Can't make my mind up on Silva to Pogba. City are just steam rolling too many games whereas even though we're obviously still likely to win, we make a meal of it sometimes.
I'm convinced on bringing Pogba back in, just for the differential. I think he will do well.
However same as you I don't know whether to do Silva > Pogba. Or downgrade Walker > Masouka and do Gross > Pogba. All depends how long Silva is out for?
Aguero looking a good bet for the weekend against Bournemouth with Jesus playing 120 minutes last night?
Thinking in terms of a 1 week captain punt even.

Captaining a City player is always a risk but Aguero should be a safe bet this week. Considering captaining Sterling, wasn't in the squad last night so should be rested and starting. Although Pep has a history of frustrating FPL players

Yeah I'm captaining Sterling at the moment myself. Also I'd have to lose Morata or Kane to get Aguero in and I'm not sure that's wise just yet.
Got a dilemma.
I want Pogba, Alonso and Ederson instead of my cheap midfielder, Courtois and a striker but I don’t know which striker to drop.
Aguero and Kane have really good fixtures ahead and in any other FF year I’d be doing all I can to have them in the side. Morata is the odd one out but it’s not like he’s got tough fixtures coming up either. Am I better to stick or twist?!
Got 2 free transfers so it’s a -4 scenario if I go for it (will also wait for tonight’s games to play out).
@DanNistelrooy @Samid - thoughts lads?

I'm getting a bit sick of Morata too but just feel he should turn it around soon. Fixtures are promising for Chelsea.
Jesus played 120 minutes so expect him to start against Bournemouth.
Found my catch 22
Had Kane... Lukaku kept scoring, Kane barely got anything
Took out Kane put in Lukaku ... Lukaku stopped scoring, Kane went crazy
Took out Lukaku, put Kane back in... Kane stops scoring and Lukaku starts again.
Keeping Lukaku out of my team now so that we may catch up to City ... will put in Sterling and Aguero

Good man. I follow similar patterns myself.
I think Sterling is a must have for his price. His underlying stats are excellent and every game he looks like scoring a couple of goals - in fact he regularly misses sitters so he could have had far more points than he already has.
I think two City mids is the way to go though so Sterling / De Bruyne could be the answer.

Pretty set on doing Vardy / Loftus-Cheek out for Sane / Quaner (who?).
Would give me this team:
Pope
Alonso / Jones / Tarkowski / Kenny / Duffy
Coutinho / Sterling / Richarlison / Sane / Salah
Kane / Morata
Thoughts?
