Is that the only debate in your lineup? Wouldn't want to bench Bruno ever to be honest. Can always get a pen with no notice.

Yeah this is the sticking point. It's definitely a transfer in 25 isn't it which rules out juicy transfers to Brentford and Bournemouth players if you haven't rolled enough over.
With that in mind is it best to stick to TC on Salah or even no chips and assess in 25?
My worry with TC is Salah has had a couple of quiet aways recently, and Bournemouth are bang in form and Everton can be occasionally obstinate.
And surely everyone will captain Salah meaning the triple isn't as powerful as some other weeks.
There will be better weeks to play the triple up later on. But not sure there will be a run where one of the best teams have 5 games in 3 weeks.
Obviously if the Pool player you take out hauls it'll be annoying, but if you got in a Bournie or Brentford mid now, then will say Diaz in 2 outscore Mbeumo/Kluivert AND Slot with 2?
As if they score they're boosting Slot's chances too.
Basically tell me i'm right to move Diaz out to one of those 2 :-)
Mbeumo has 9 home goals this season, most in the league apparently...and has shakey Totty.
Yeah pretty much. And yep I have Bruno on, just needed that extra conviction
I've made all the moves so I'm all set. Was going to punt on Moyes but I feel Slot is safest and I could move to him..
Yep, I've spent ages poring over it and think it has to be Slot in.Yeah pretty much. And yep I have Bruno on, just needed that extra conviction

But Diaz could spank me.
But then if Slot wins 2 games 2-0 he gets 20 points doesn't he! Say Mbeumo gets 6-10, then Diaz will do bloody well to get near that! And then is probably rotated to some extent in next week's possible double too.
We’re struggling for clean sheets lately (only 2 in our last 9 PL games), I don’t think we’re keeping Bournemouth out all game at their place. And the last derby at Goodison might also be a tricky one.
Imo even the safe floor isn’t really there in this double. I get that 4 games in 2 GWs might look too good to pass up on, but I’m not gonna chase Slot at the moment.
feck it. Stuck my TC back on Salah for now. Drunken thoughts are that Moyes and Everton stink and I'm wasting a chip. Also not taking a hit to bring in Slot when I've got 3 Pool players already (and probably the best 3 at that).
Might change my mind in the morning but I can always go with AM in 25 + a transfer. Calm your titties...

Only discovered late yesterday that a DGW in 25 had been confirmed so the TC chip has been deactivated!
My thoughts are going punty for 2 out of the max 5 games available. Assuming Liverpool get through next week, I'd currently be on:
GW24: Moyes (LEI, LIV)
GW25: Emery (IPS, LIV)
GW26: Frank (Lei) or Hürzeler (Sou)
2 high risk / high reward games at home, 2 very winnable games at home, and 1 very winnable game away.
I have 3 Liverpool players and would need to take a hit to get to Slot either this or next week so I just don't think it's worth it.
I think the play of TC this week and AM from next is interesting but if I wasn't to use AM now, I'd personally rather hold it up my sleeve in 36-38.
Also think the TC on Salah is by far the weakest chip in the game so it might prove dividends to use it later on as a potential high-upside differential!

AM on Slot for this DGW and for the next DGW probably.
I imagine quite a few TCS this weekend too. Preparing for huge rage from myself and others this weekend too if Liverpool let us down

Pulled the trigger on Bruno -> Mbuemo to free up money for Slot. Idiotic that I got rid of the Brentford menace in the first place few weeks ago.
AM active, Salah (C) - expecting EO well over 200%, fecking hate when you need to cheer against your captain. Good luck all

decided to go with Slot as AM
The confirmed DGW next week for somebody made the chip too hard to ignore

Same. Really don't like Liverpool's fixtures this week but Raya to Pickford freed up the required funds so it seems the safe play than trying to be too clever
Same in the end.
Had load of free transfers to ditch my 3rd Pool player, bring Mbeumo in and didn't bother trying to bring a 2nd Everton player in, in the end as I'm playing 3-5-2
Gabriel benched for Hall is the only risk lineup wise. But Arsenal surely less chance of a cleany there then home v Fulham.
Rogers vs Wol A or Wood vs BHA H or Gordon vs Ful H
I have Salah , Palmer , kdb, Isak and ndiaye starting currently

I’m also using the AM chip on Slot as well. Too much fecking about and overthinking involved with that chip, I just want it out the way early.
feck me you guys really don’t fancy spurs against Liverpool
People are talking like it’s literally a matter of fact Liverpool will have the double.

but it's because it's not the end of the world if you go AM now and Pool miss out on DGW25 - it's an easy switch to Emery/Silva. it's much more shitty if you hold TC for Salah expecting better double in 25 and then they don't qualifyfeck me you guys really don’t fancy spurs against Liverpool

Think Moyes is the higher risk/reward option, if they get a draw or win against Liverpool it would be huge. It would also be even better cheering for Everton against them.
I'd still love Everton to beat them even with Slot as the chip. But it's good insurance.
Go in on Moyes and he loses both games and it feels even worse.
Still on TC Salah.
Already on 3 Liverpool with no FT. I don't want to play it on Moyes and book in FT's for managers in 25 and 26.
Might play it 25-27.

Yeah that's the risk.
However I've just looked at recent matches and against the big teams (Arsenal, Chelsea and City) and they have drawn all of them.
Fair enough, I can't make my mind up as I don't really like Salah's fixtures for the double to TC esp given we know he has another double. Can't make my mind up
Be so funny if Arsenal and Spurs end up going through to the EFL final.

I still fancy him to get a few goals. Also be weird to not be rooting for your captain to score in a game week.
I just can't bring myself to waste a chip on David feckin Moyes.
I'll be quite tempted to swap Ange in for Slot if Spurs go through. I'll be keeping a close eye on their injuries that are apparently not far off coming back in.feck me you guys really don’t fancy spurs against Liverpool

Well I chickened out of Moyes, so did Gakpo to Ndiye and Slot in, was able to do this for free otherwise I wouldn't have. Seems a too good of a run for Liverpool esp with the doubles to miss out on the AM chip and not sure there will be a better set of circumstances to use it in the future.
This AM chip adds even more variance than other chips. Game’s getting more and more random each year
Yeah I think it's awful. Gonna be a lot of variance this week. Mix of TC Salah and AM on Slot and Moyes in all my leagues.
My work league this week is all over the place
A big mix of
Slot assistant manager
Moyes assistant manager
Salah triple captain
A couple have gone with Gakpo triple captain
A big mix of
Slot assistant manager
Moyes assistant manager
Salah triple captain

I'm swimming completely against the storm and bench boosted.
Didnt had the money to get Moyes and was not sold on TC Salah for these fixtures.
As I already Wildcarded, i think its best to get this shit chip out of the way while having a full playing squad. Felt better like that (atm) knowing still having TC and AM to play.
Pickford
TAA Hall Myko
Salah Kluivert Palmer Mbeumo
Gakpo Wood Isak
Kepa Amad Gabriel Robinson

Yeah I've even seen one of mates has become so fixated with the AM chip he forgot to switch his captain to a Liverpool player

Same. In my most important leagues I notice more 3x Pool + Moyes than mine AM Slots, dreading!
Salah effective ownership ca. 216%
Had free transfers and some money in the bank so went Slot AM, brought in Pickford, Doucoure and Ndiaye.
Pickford
Hall, Trent, Colwill
Bruno, Salah (c), palmer, doucoure
Joao pedro, isak, Ndiyae
AM - Slot
All in on this double GW. Let’s see how it goes

Beauty of that assistant chip is you simply switch to a team doubling though.
If you've stored some transfers up.
Ahhh the classic double mania.
Flooding your team with players of a team you'd never consider normally

I know
But I’m happy to hold Pickford and have a free transfer rolling so moving on Doucoure and Ndiyae shouldn’t be a massive issue.
