Played smart and brought Kane in before the price rise this week.
......-4 for DCL now.
Could not make this shit up.

Fantasy Premier League 20/21
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Don't make a transfer to DCL. Learn from your mistake. In a session like this, with the added threat of Covid, try wait until the last minute.
It's a pain for me as I took KdB out last week and had a choice of 1 tfr (no cost, lots of spare cash) or a few tfrs (minus points or WC).
Chose first option and plan was to make 1 tfr per week (Gundogan was first thankfully) but with Kane out too, I either keep an expensive player who gets no points or sell him and have cash coming out of my ears.
I might just sell him and with my £18m (yip), use the WC and do 5-6 tfrs. Set myself up for when I do BB.
Team is Martinez Forster
Ayling Bednarek Stones Dias Justin
Mendy Bowen Bruno Rashford Gundogan
Kane Bamford Watkins
Meslier, Digne, ????, Zaha, Grealish, Antonio, ????
Not getting Kane in for a -4 turned out to be a brilliant move.
Now though I have no idea who to captain this week.
So the players I am thinking about getting in might be my captain in the end. Digne, DCL, Cancelo, Maddison, Barnes, Grealish.

Why are people mentioning DCL? He hasn't scored for an age.
I need a Kane replacement. Already have Antonio and 6m itb
So much for the advantage of having 105m to spend.

Nice one Thiago...
I may do DCL in place of Kane though will he actually fire?
Neto to Gundogan is definitely happening
What's Kane usually like when returning from these? May just sit on the money
When are we likely to know how long Kane is crocked for? If its just 2 weeks or something silly ill just bench him

Finally this horrorshow of a round is over. Got everything wrong and dropped like a stone in all my leagues:
- Had to take hits for both of Vardy and KDB going into the round
- Stones and Foden only players from City (Foden got 51 minutes and was not involved in any of the goals, Stones got his CS)
- Grealish, Watkins and Stones my only players with more than 2 points (Antonio stuck on the bench, while Bamford got 58,9 minutes and was not involved in any goals)
- Fernandes Captain (At least I was not alone on this one)
- Salah bricked again (had deserved that goal at least)
- Ended on 33 points (-8 points in hits, 25 net)......... GW-rank 6000000!
- One of my biggest rivals had Cancelo as captain (by misclick) plus Gundo, Soucek, Saka, Stones and Antonio already on Tuesday (87 points). I was on net 1 point after Tuesday.......
86 points swing in 4 matches.......................

Because both the players that usually assist his goals (Digne and Rodriguez) are now fit and playing. Also they have Newcastle & Leeds in the next two as well as a potential double in 24.
Ahh ok. Now I'm tempted
I might bring Digne in actually. He's only played 10 games this season and assisted in 6 of them. Defenders seem to be bagging all the points lately. Will shift that lump AWB.
Any indication what their fixtures for the double would be for 24? Fulham and?
City unfortunately.
Ah. So basically just a single game week
I'm brining in DCL anyway. Newcastle, Leeds and Fulham in the next 4 gameweeks is a good run. Still not sure whether to bring him in for Kane or Che Adams. Adams is just bench fodder, and Kane could be back within a few weeks. A lot of money to have on the bench/injured though...

49 points after Tuesday's fixtures. Mendy, Lowton, Bruno (c), Salah and Kane got me just 14.
Not sure what transfer to make...
Option 1 is take out Che Adams for DCL. He has a couple of sweet fixtures coming up and will be a stop-gap until Kane returns.
Option 2 is to swap Robertson for Cancelo. I feel Cancelo has two guaranteed clean sheets coming up. His fixtures toughen up after that but City have so many double gameweeks coming up that it feels useful to have him...

Cup opponents out.
My guy has Kane and no City.

Kane and Neto out
Gundogan and DCL in
I now have 4.4 in the bank, I may leave that for Kane's return or unfortunately TAA seems to be hitting form, in which case he can come in and either get me points, or be jinxed by me
Currently captained Gundogan, sure Sheffield United will be back to terrible. What are the chances of a Pepping?!

Never say never, but he came off on 52 mins last game. I'd be confident of him starting. Not sure about captaincy though - but that's mainly because I can't see Gundogan keeping this insane run of goals up. Maybe that's me being foolish...
Yeah captain is a tricky one this week. Was gonna be Kane but now I'm not sure. Cancelo might be rotated so I'm thinking Gundogan or Son.
DCL is the big balls captain if you have him.

I will be captaining Gundogan again on the basis that I believe Sheffield Utd could give a pen away.
How crazy would I be to take Bamford out and bring in Werner? New manager bounce and to get in their early.

54 points this week. Had Soucek on the bench 
For next week I think I will bring Cancelo in for Stones..
What are your options guys upfront? Have Bamford, Wilson & Tammy, and I am not happy with any of those to be fair.

Nice! Mine has an average team, but is really well set up for fixtures this week. Chelsea keeper, everton and Leicester defenders. All of them have great fixtures, where as I have West Ham, Leeds and Rashford

Bamford, Antonio & Watkins. On paper the weakest part of my team this week. Toying with DCL in for Bamford, Digne in for AWB or both but I don't really think a hit is necessary.
My cup opponent and I have Dias, Bruno (c), Saka, Gundogan and Salah. I'm tempted to take the captaincy off Bruno and give it to DCL or Salah.
Considering a -4 for Smith Rowe to Salah, and Kane to either DCL or Antonio.
Even doing the more expensive DCL keeps a mad 1.8m in the bank, even after upgrading a midfielder by 8m
Salah hasn't scored for ages, but he'll always be a threat and a risk not to have.
Would have to bench Bamford, and decide on who to bench each week from an incredible midfield and 3 scorers up front.
Antonio is in good form but has Liverpool, while DCL has been injured and only made it through 1 game since, but does have woeful Newcastle.

Any update on Kane? Is he is only out for a week I’ll leave him on the bench.
He'll be out for a few weeks.
He’s goneski so. Cheers
DCL vs Digne, Stones vs Cancelo, Soucek vs Saka. Bamford vs Wilson vs Cresswell?
Some big calls to make this week. I have never been this uncertain really about my team.
Normally you get more obvious moves to make.
There is no going back with the first two I think, but I could double on Everton for next week or even this week potentially.

I don't mind a couple of injuries as it forces my hand selection wise due my bench being banging.
Who of these 4 should be my captain: Bruno, Salah, DCL or Gundogan?
Worth going Soucek to Gundogan?
Impossible to say, but I’ve gone with City playing well, as is Gundo, so him
Done my transfer. Robertson out for Cancelo. Was considering DCL but Cancelo pretty much guarantees clean sheets for the next two (if he plays) and City have a bunch of DGWs coming up. Plus Robertson about to drop in price (makes sense as Liverpool barely have a defence) and Cancelo about to go up again soon... Made sense.
Now watch him get rested

Taken a -12 hit in total, probably overdid it due to an overreaction to my dismal week.
Going to leave Soucek on the bench again I think. Currently have:
Subs: Meslier, Soucek, Dallas, KWP
Given the fixtures, the only player I'd consider benching for Soucek would be Antonio but I quite fancy him up against the Liverpool CBs.

Do we know how long is Kane out? Don't want to lose shit load of money by selling him and buying him again
Is it worth going for Leicester assets when they have no Vardy?
I find Maddison as a good transfer. He is replica of our Bruno. Everything goes from him in Leicester (i am giving Rashford one more game and then i will buy Maddison)
