United saves my gameweek again.
Time to make Pogba captain?
Don't want to jinx him though.

Fantasy Football 2017/18
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
We don't know if he's going to get his consistency back yet. Could be a shout, but is he really gonna get any more than Kane/Salah? Don't reckon he will.
Decent, I played mine and only did 4-5 transfers. People seem to think you need to wipe your whole team and start again!
I'll be holding on to the wildcard until the fixtures get messy in a couple of months (and City have likely bagged the title already).
The only players I need to shift at the mo are DCL and Elliott who are bench fodder anyway.
I've got my eye on GW28 at the moment too with potentially no City, United, Chelsea or Arsenal players depending on results in the EFL Cup. Really need Arsenal to beat Chelsea to not completely decimate my squad.

In fact thinking about it I'm gonna trim down anyway and improve the squad at the same time...
GW24 transfers (done) - Albrighton & Salah for Richarlison & Alli
GW25 - roll
GW26 - Vardy & Hegazi for Aguero & Kenny
GW27 - Firmino & Pickford for DCL & Courtois
Possibly someone like Dummett instead of Hegazi so I've got funds to turn Elliot into Adrian or someone ready for bench boost week.

Plenty of good captain options this weekend. Keep switching between Kane, Aguero and Salah at the moment. Gut says Aguero. Surely due a haul?
Arnautovic could be an outside shout...
Don't have Aguero but he's probably the obvious choice - knowing Pep he'll probably bench him and play a midfielder as a false 9.

I've got Arnautovic too. Looking at it I could go any of
Sterling/Aguero - (H) v Newcastle
Kane - (A) v Southampton
Salah - (A) v Swansea
Alonso - (A) v Brighton
I bet there's plenty with Mahrez and Vardy too who are at home to Watford.
Got to be Salah captain I think.
All very good shouts tbh, similar to my options. I'm leaving it on Arnie for now, almost certainly end up changing it to Kane/Salah on Saturday morning
Kane all the way. Southampton home form has been pretty shocking this season, won like 3 games.
Kane blanks in the games you're sure he'll smash. Can't trust pep to play Aguero
Has to go to Salah, Liverpool will be confident after beating city.
Surely you can with Jesus still injured? There aren't any alternatives unless he fannies around with a false 9 again but he's only done that in the cup with Bernardo Silva this season iirc
I'm torn between Kane & Salah for the armband as well.
Fair comments, I can't captain Salah as my gut is just telling me that Liverpool will blow up against Swansea. We shall see.
Brought in Mané - Looks a good shout now that Coutinho's gone and he can play regularly again. Only owned by 7.3% compared to Salah's 53.1%
Great programme too.

What's the story with the free hit?
Does it have to be used during the Jan transfer window or did I make that up?

Anytime you wish.
Can change your entire team for 1 GW but then your team reverts back to how it was before playing the FH.
Can use it any time.
I think the ox might be worth looking at. Think he'll play a fair bit now.
Was thinking the same actually, only just got Lingard in but he's got better fixtures, much cheaper at 5.6m, and could be more nailed to start if Sanchez does come to Utd.
Walcott worth a punt, now he's at Everton? £7.1M seems a lot though.
Walcott is never worth a punt
Cheap and will probably rise in price, but Lallana might play more now too
Captaining Aguero this week.
Yeah, nearly half the team is plenty at this stage, and I'm very happy with it now.

Vardy or Rooney in? Kicking out Morata the prick.

Decent team, maybe only problem is that it's very likely there will be weeks were 0/3 subs even play. Arnautovic is in good form now so not sure how long this will last. But 7m is enough to play with later down the line for maybe Ramsay?
What was your team like before?
I like Leicester's form and fixtures more personally.

Solid. I don't really fancy Martina much mind but you can't have everything. Personally I'd downgrade Pogba, Chamberlain or Wilson and beef up a defender but up to you. Definitely have most bases covered.

You need Alonso in there, he's better value than any of your attackers. Personally would downgrade DDG and Firmino to Pickford and Quaner. Upgrade Martina to Alonso and spend the spare on Ox replacement.

Martina seems like the only weak link, you could upgrade him via:
Jones > Shaw (+0.8)
Martina > Robertson (-0.3)
+0.5 ITB
Not a big fan of having two defenders from the same team, one goal can wipe two out, so with you having De Gea a cheaper United defender in Shaw might be a better option.
Also, if Wilson is always going to be on the bench, you could improve Tomkins too:
Wilson > J.Ayew (-0.7)
Tomkins > Mustafi (+1.2) or 5.5 defender.
0.0 ITB
Thanks all! Plenty of food for thought - standby! 
Anyone hopeful for an Everton clean sheet vs West Brom?
Was considering Holgate.
Was considering Holgate.
Well I'm finally getting rid of Morata. It's for a -4 but now he's banned. He already went down in value a few days ago and wouldn't surprise me if he went down again due to the suspension.
So, Firmino or Vardy?? Even considering Lacazette (I know), Arse have decent fixtures.

Very hopeful! Much tighter outfit under big Sam so i'm going with Kenny and Pickford.
Shaw and Stone to remain first 1st choice?
Kane or Salah for captain?
I guess Salah is mr stable

Firmino surely? He's in great form and Liverpool are scoring plenty of goals.
