2 free transfers to play around with during the international break.

I’m thinking this team:

———————Martinez
Chilwell - Walker Peters - Lamptey
-Salah - Fernandes - Son - Ziyech
- Kane - Calvert Lewin - Bamford

Kilman first on the bench.

That's a good side if you can get that under the spending cap. It may not be recommended to have a goalkeeper and a defender from the same club or two defenders from the same club but as Chelsea's next game is Newcastle away, it might be worth considering.

You'd be disappointed if DCL failed to score at Craven Cottage after the international break.

That is literally my team - Bamford son and ziyech and + soucek, grealish and zaha
 
Son and Salah are awfully boring unless you have either of them captained. I am currently in two leagues with mates, in one of them everyone has both and in the other everyone bar one player has them all. There’s literally zero joy from their points but it’s really tough to take them out as it will inevitably come back to haunt you, though part of me wants to swap them for Bruno and KDB/Sterling (not entirely sure KDB will really have a great season this year though, and KDB has been very underwhelming).

Yep, same situation for me. I plan on moving to KDB, but only due to the fixtures. And I’m pretty sure that’ll be the plan for most anyway.
 
You just know if you didn't have Kane (c) and Son, that this would be a romp away 4-0 win, don't you.

ps how has DCL kept that assist!!
 
Planning on moving Kane and Son out with the fixture shift and this just makes the decision easier. Really does feel like a season where just being patient has been rewarded, although short term data compels you to act. Fully expect Robbo and TAA to now punish sellers.
 
That was ill deserved against a Wbrom without their best players, but that's the whole point of fantasy footy isn't it - reflected glory in other team's players!!

Kane went from 4 as captain, to 18 - if the projected 3 bonus points stay in place!

A 14 point swing with one touch of a ball in the 88th or so min!
 
Does anyone know why the bonus point system sometimes changes after the end of the game? And when this happens?

I think they wait for Opta (or whichever data provider they use) to quality assure the data the BPS is based upon. Obviously during the match mistakes will be made in real time.
 
Just checked this. 8 weeks into the season I have had only 6 clean sheets so far. 3 from Saiss, 1 each from Justin, TAA and Trent. I’ve not had a non-Saiss clean sheet since GW2! Only Robbo can change that now.
 
Captaining Son was a bad idea, why he just didn’t pull the trigger in the first half?

Be lucky if I hit average points this week..

Makes sense.
 
I so much want Vardy for Fulham, but should I want him for Liverpool as well?
He will be fresh after the break too hopefully.

isnt Vardy usually a beast against the top 6? I want Vardy as well, just need to figure out how to get him in. Not sure I want to dump Kane just yet as Tottenham just looked tired today I’m sure they’ll be better after the break
 
I don't think I've ever been as content with my FF team as I am currently. One bad weekend next GW and my smugness will come to an abrupt and deserving end. All that said I am starting to think about moving JRod and DCL out, though with Richarlison back and a nice run of games around the corner they're probably worth holding.

Foden permabenched. :drool:

Surely that's not a drool thing. Only clowns like me have Foden surely :lol:

Just to make missing the deadline and not doing Ziyech to him even more painful.
Even scrolled down the subs thinking, please don't be there (Lamptey 6 pointer first sub), but nooo...he's there number 7.

Cue coming on in the 75th min with that annoying haircut for a 1 pointer.

Quite a few went for him as a cheap route into the City attack.

He had a few games where he looked like he could really smash the points up. Unfortunately I put him in for a 2 game bench period, just as they have Liverpool and Tottenham away in there. What a clown!

I honestly don't feel like going for anyone apart from Sterling or De Bruyne from that City attack. Someone like Mahrez not even in the squad today. Pep is fecking mental.
 
Pick Salah and De bruyne please!!

It seems everyone has Son in their team so it might not make a difference:D

I need a replacement for Ings, supposed to be out for 6-8 weeks. Max 9.2 to spend.

I guess Jimenez is the obvious, like for like replacement?

Adams and Wilson seem like too much of a punt, to me.

Just take Adams who will get most goals that Ings would have otherwise got and is much cheaper. Wolves have tough games coming up and aren’t the best offensively.
 
Q1 - Will this be good transfers taking the -4 hit?
  • Son for Ziyech
  • Kane for Vardy
Martinez
Creswell -- Kilman -- Chillwell
Salah -- JRod -- Grealish -- Son
DCL -- Kane -- Bamford

Bench: McCarthy, Mitchell, Bernardo, ORomeu​

Why?
1. Unfavorable Spurs fixtures - City, Chelsea, Arsenal, CP, Pool, Leicester, Wolves.
Son's form seems to be dipping as does Spurs, and it'll affect Kane's goals and assists.

2. Favorable fixtures for Vardy - Pool, Fulham, Sheffield, Brighton, Everton, Spurs, United.

3. Favorable fixtures for Everton - Fulham, Leeds, Burnley.
Keeping James and DCL are tempting, especially since Richarlison will also be back improving their G/A.

4. Ziyech hitting good form but Chelsea's fixtures though...


Q2 - Okay, is it better to switch Son for Ziyech or Bruno?

Ziyech, Bruno, Sterling/KDB. All potentially great picks to bring in. Unless I take crazy amounts of hits I got to pick one of them.

Sounds bullish, l o l, it will leave me with a lot of money in the bank, which I'll be tempted to spend on some other trinket.

btw, why is Adam's price dropping?
 
76 points this week, good return i fancy getting in Manchester United players now with our easy fixtures. Fernandes is a no brainer. If United score, you know he will be involved majority of the time.
 
Something feels off about KDB this season, for such a perfect striker of the ball that penalty was really bad.

I was thinking of bringing him in but might go for Sterling instead, but he hasn't done much either.
