Need WC team ideas.
Who would you get in? I can’t seem to find a good defence. Do I keep Kun/Kane/Firmino up top or look at Aubameyang? Is Laporte in for Stones permanently now? Midfield, Sterling and Salah need to stay?

I was on course for a very good week....Son injured and Jones as Kane's striking partner may well have fecked that. Also De Gea and Pogba. Feck

Week from hell.
Sterling as captain bailed me out.
Just wildcarded because..
Pope
Jones - Tomkins - Ogbonna - Naughton
Sterling - Martial - Mahrez - Salah
Aubamayang - Kane
Bench - Elliot, Ulloa, Moreno,Carroll
Depending on Mahrez, I might in the next few weeks go from Martial/Mahrez to De Brunyne Lingard.
Thoughts?

Going to wait one more week before using WC. Want to see if Auba/Mkhi play before making that decision
Earlier in the season I'd been paying close attention to FF. Watching price changes, planning future moves carefully, etc. I've been doing so poorly I've started to lose interest other than making quick decisions on weekly subs. My scores have getting gradually higher and I've finished with 79 this GW...
So played my WC against my better judgement.
Smalling, Pogba and Mkhitaryan
Or
Monreal, Martial and Walcott?

thoughts on my team mate? I'm pissed at the Mahrez situation

I think needs major surgery.
You're bench are not starters... Maybe drop ulloa for Ayew? Drop Mahrez as his head might be turned... Definitely worry about Aubamayang, Wenger always trends to slowly bed players in and I saw training picture of him alone, so he may not start... Just my two cents
Seriously dropping down the rankings now. Second week where I've just about managed to get over average number of points.
Think a wildcard is in order - maybe this weekend.

Cant afford Ayew. Though I was considering Crouch. Ulloa has just been signed by Brighton, most of their fans believe he will be first choice?
Yeah will get rid of Mahrez next week, and then bring in De Brunye
Ive taken a risk with Auba, but just have a huge feeling that he is going to be red hot
Just pressed the wildcard button as dropping down the league and need to gain ground. I have gambled with different players as everyone in my league has salah and KDB etc. Let me know what you think. I have tried to build a decent bench as I have never focused on that before also
Pickford
Jones Maguire Mee Sakho
Sanchez Sterling Walcott Pogba
Aguero Sturridge
Subs - Elliot Mawson Chupo-Moting Ayew

Mahrez throwing a hissy fit has fecked up a lot of people.
Actually a pretty good team. I'm guessing Kane will be coming back in after these difficult run of fixtures for Aguero (as City should have Jesus back soon anyway so he'll be a rotation risk)
I'm kind of happy about it.
updated wildcard
pope (elliot)
Jones Ogbonna Naughton (Chiwell) (Naughton)
Salah Milihimivic Lingard De Bruyne Sterling
Aubamayang Kane (uchoa)
0 ITB

I've decided I'm too far behind in my mates league to go with 'safer' captain picks - and IMO there isn't an obvious choice this week, so I'm giving it to Callum Wilson v Stoke at home. Had him on my bench against Chelsea and he got 12 points 
can't be too mad though, I can't imagine many people would have played him or predicted a haul like that at Stamford Bridge.
can't be too mad though, I can't imagine many people would have played him or predicted a haul like that at Stamford Bridge.Managed to pick 5 defenders who didnt play this week, including Van Dijk, Stones, Holgate, Shaw! Had Silva and Pogba too. Nightmare week. Need a serious defensive reshuffle, but not sure I fancy any defenders at the moment!
eh changed it up again.
Pope (Elliot)
Jones Ogbonna Naughton (Moreno, Chiwell)
Mkhitaritan Sanchez Milovejovic Salah De Bruyne
Wilson Kane (J Ayew).
On Sanchez right now because i miss having a mandatory UTD captain now that Lukaku has gone to shit.

Not sure why everyone is bringing Elliot in now. Yeah I know he's cheap but he isn't first choice any more and he's about to drop in price. If anything I'm looking to move him on so I can have 2 playing keepers for the bench boost week.
Finally got rid of DCL this week. Brought Wilson back in. No brainer. Only trouble now is deciding who to bench. Currently benching Elliot, Shaw, Albrighton, Ogbonna ... in that order.
GW 26 team - Pickford, Alonso, Ottamendi, Maguire, Salah, Lingard, Shaquiri, Sterling, Aguero (c), Kane, Wilson

0.2 left over.
Any thoughts?

Anyone going to captain Sanchez against Huddersfield?
I think Jose will want a response from his players so hopefully we produce a big win against a Huddersfield side that has taken 0 points in the league this year.

I got 8 mil for a midfielder (replacing Son)
Who do I get? He needs to exactly last for the next 2 rounds.
- Pogba 8.0 (HUD, new)
- Willian 6.8 (wat WBA)
- Lingard 6.3 (HUD, new)
- Others?
Already got Shaqiri + 3 x city. Leaning towards Lingard.

Can't decide on Pogba/Son or Walcott/KDB (which would also mean having to make 0.2 up elsewhere). If Pogba was pulling in points it'd be an easier decision, but KDB is.

I'd say Walcott/KDB.. Pogba seems to not being able to roam so much after Sanchez+Lingard is in focus. Son will often be subbed maybe after 70 to make way for Lucas, would be my guess.
Lingard/KDB would probably be my preferred, as Lingard is in more advanced positions and seems to link up fine with Sanchez so far.
May well do that actually. Means I can potentially upgrade another position with 0.7 rather than having to find the 0.2
I like the Francis pick. Cheap starting Bournmouth defender, and their fixtures look excellent. I've copied you with that pick actually.
Pope (Elliot)
Jones Alonso Chiwell Francis (Naughton)
Milojevic Salah De Bruyne Sanchez (c) (Dier)
Wilson Kane (Ayew
Yeah my plan is depending on how they are doing is to swap Aguero for either Kane or Aubamayang in a few weeks. Everyone tells me I need Salah but as everyone else has him now is the time to be bold in my opinion anyway. If I could get him in great but I can’t see how without taking Sanchez out
I dunno. I feel like you need the main big hitters to keep up, then some bold choices around them to potentially take you above.
Agreed. I had all the usual culprits then got in hazard when no one had him. Made him Captain and was top of most of my private leagues.
Struggling to choose between Hazard and De Bruyne. Head says De Bruyne, but Hazard is playing more forward and has nicer looking fixtures.
Auba won't start (or even play for that matter)
I have gone for Hazard solely because of Chelsea's fixtures.
Might put Lingard in for Son now actually. Both have a good chance of scoring though I reckon
Running the WC now because I need to make up ground and quick. The new team looks like this:
Fabianski (Elliott)
Otamendi - Jones - Rudiger (Long, Naughton)
Salah - Hazard - Pogba - Lingard - Ibe
Kane - Firmino (Jordan Ayew)
What do people make of it?

SeemS good... Not sure about Rudiger long term
Yeah, he isn't long term. Just want to fetch some Chelsea defense points (Bou notwithstanding) given that Christensen is definitely out.
He would be downgraded after 2GWs to give me space for Hazard -> Sanchez (in case Sanchez starts firing).
