Yeah - I think I'm going with Haaland this week. Him and City with something to prove, hunting down the league leaders who have some tough games coming up. Surely it's got to be done now.

It is exceptionally annoying though isn't it. Mitro is what we use here
Villa at home will be 3 days before Arsenal away. If there is a game where Pep could rest Haaland, it is that game.
But nevertheless Villa and Arse do look much better games than these two.
Having said that; i TC him this week. Next few hours i will click/unclick that option dozen times
Mount got an assist yesterday. And I Captain Mitro.You must have been weeping when Mount 1 pointed it for you as captain last week in a double.
Least you didn't have that happen with a TC in a single with Sterling like I did once.
or Sane in a double
I've taken a -8
Martial, Mount and Cucu to Kane, Almiron and Shaw.

Might be the week. If he utterly smashes us at least we have the fantasy footy joy!
But of we shut him out we'll be pleased too.
Worst case obviously being utterly smashed but him doing jack.
Don't know what to do somebody help me
Team:
Ward - Kepa
Shaw - Trippier - Bueno - Patterson (injured) - Gabriel
A. Pereira - KDB - Almiron - Rashford - Martinelli
Kane - Haaland - Mitro
2,3m in the bank
do I triple captain Haaland? Use the free hit chip and go for lots of players with double weeks
do I do nothing and have an extra transfer next week
or do I replace Patterson with Botman who has Home game to Palace and might get clean sheet or do I swap Kepa for for example Pope?
Or shall I throw Pereira out for Eriksen/bruno?

Ah less bad.
Although you've then take the Chelsea boys you strived to get in out for -8!
Martial you thinking is out, or just the only way to get Kane in?
Wouldn't free hit for certain. You've got 2 strong players from both City and Utd and Kane. That's enough.
Tc haaland is a big call.
Would deffo get Botman in ASAP. Super cheap and super strong defensive output.
Id go for 3 transfers and get 2 dgw in.
Pope > De Gea
Patterson > Lewis or Ake
Mitrovic > Wilson
I am going for best case scenario; Haaland scores two on Kdb's and Cancelo's assists. Rashford scores 3 on Shaw's assists.
And Martial scores one. Because FC Martial and shit.
Why would you FH that? You've already got the 5 best DGW players that people are taking hits to get in so you'll get a green arrow before a ball is even kicked. Just use the money in the bank to upgrade a defender or Andreas and get in another and you should be in for a good week.
TC Haaland is up to you. I probably will.
Don't use FH. No need for it because your team is good. And you will need FH if there will be some reduced gw in future.
Ok so from pressers Dalot, Stones aren't available. Martial trained but depends on the reaction. Darwin injury is maybe not so serious but he won't play if he doesn't train today (which looks unlikely).
Thank you everyone
definitely not gonna FH now
Yet to figure out what one transfer I will make
don't really want to take a hit and get - points

I think I might have to hold the donkey. Don't fancy anyone else. £9.9m then to replace Cucu and Patterson and play 4-4-2
Ramsdale or Ward
Shaw - Trippier - ????? - ?????
Maretinelli - KDB - Rashford - Almiron
Kane - Haaland
Thinking Ake or Akanji for £5m and maybe a United defender (Varane maybe safest best) or Doherty.
Anyone?

I think Varane wasnt spotted in training midweek, but this couldve changed. Id probably pick Ake / Martinez or Lewis / Martinez
It was my way to Kane and had to do it before martial dropped in price. The DGW wasnt announced at that time or I would have taken Mitro out but I feel Mitro will be fine longer term.
Yeah the minus 8 hurt but I think most people are taking hits this week. If United get the second double, it'll be worth it and Cucu that cnut can't be trusted to play. At least mount got an assist and a goal when I had him.
Team now set and pretty happy with it. A part of me wants to captain Rashford instead but I don't think I'll do it.

Worth it to take a -4 hit to get Shaw for Cucu? Really need to get Cucu and Kepa out of the door asap. Cnuts got 3 points each from 2 games.

Shhh. Shawberto has quietly been my differential for the last few GWs.
I'm thinking of using my WC, have Cancelo, Dalot and other players who I don't even want in my team anymore.
Anyone thinking the same? Or should I just take a -8 or -12?

Going with:

Shaw
Trippier
Robertson
Saka
Rashford
Salah
Almiron
Mitro
Haaland (C x3)
Martial
Bench: Ward, Andreas, Saliba, Patterson (+ £1.3m)
Not loving the fact I've got Martial in there, but with the prospect of 2 games, he should get enough points to stop it from being too costly. Planning on swapping out for Toney once/if he's back/able to play).
Don't love the defence this week and took out Saliba because I don't fancy relying on an Arsenal defener/gk combo.
Trying to avoid taking point hits like the plague this season. Not expecting huge points this week (hence the triple C) but should be a decent squad going forward.

Has everyone who had Cancelo got rid already? I need to take a hit if I need to change and I am not sure because of DGW. Also Almiron or Andreas on bench?
Toney fit apparently. If only he didn't have that bloody suspension hanging over him he'd be straight in for Darwin. Might be the most sensible move regardless.
Nah. Its just Pep's mind games. Cancelo will be back in first 11 (starting from this week).
I’ve been struggling to find any information about it and it’s so annoying. All of my potential Darwin replacements have issues: Toney ban, Martial fitness and minutes, Wilson minutes and competition, Nketiah looks arguably the best but tough fixtures and Jesus will come back soon I guess, perhaps even for their DGW. I’ll wait right before deadline to see if there’s no leaked photos of Darwin in training and Klopp just being a cnut, but it’s between these four I’m considering to bring in with Toney and Nketiah edging it.
Won’t go for him probably as KDB is my priority, but I so wish I had Mahrez this GW, gut tells me he’ll deliver.
Not sure what to think about TC Haaland/Rashford. We might get better fixtures in the future gameweeks, but there’s question makes about fitness, rotation and continental / cup games between. I’m having a good season topping / around tops in most of the mini leagues and I’d like to defend that lead, so it feels early to pull the TC trigger now, but who the feck knows what’s rational and what’s not.
Which one out of Akanji, Ake and Lewis?
I think the order you've put them in is right in terms of safety to start.
That said I'm gonna go neither and scratch my Perisic itch finally.
Him and Toney in for Cucu/Patterson and Darwin for me.
Captain Marcus, Bruno or Yeti?
It's very close between Akanji and Ake, some say Ake can play more roles in defence and hit the post a few times last games, whereas Pep seems to really like Akanji and he's played him a lot - it's a coin toss I guess. Lewis is obviously a bit braver move, frees up cash and who knows what he can do in the attack if he plays as a wing-back. Nobody has any idea how much he'll play though - to me he seems favoured by Pep and the latest cup games would suggest so, but will the fraud really play Rico in such crucial games and continue to bench Cancelo?
Never going near those damn Spurs defenders. Utter headaches.
Yeti.
Don't see Cancelo starting and he's the one I'm selling for one of these to fund Darwin to Kane.
IM going Rashford (c) but not TC.

After a -4, I am sitting on this team for the week. To those that are far better at the game than me, is it worth taking a -4 for a different City defender? I imagine they will throw the dice on Stones given how poor they were in midweek!
Aside from that, and with Martial’s fitness, don’t think there is anyone else that would be worth a -4?
Don’t fancy Mitro but don’t really have a choice.

Oh, Saka is yellow now. Thanks Mikel.
Pep said that's he's not ready, maybe he will be back for Spurs though.
