Literally everyone now has the midfield five of Salah Saka Son Palmer Gordon. Today is the last day of getting any gains from Gordon. Do something ffs.
Phew. Yeah it did look bad. When you can't walk off of your own accord it generally is.
I've got the Aldi version of Salah Son Palmer Gordon Martinelli
I mean I've got plenty of money to upgrade him but it's not worth the -4 at the moment. Kind of thinking we all might have 2 Arsenal mids when Afcon starts anyway so might just hold him and bring Saka in for Son/Salah then intead.
Yeah honestly I haven't planned to much on what to do with the money from selling Salah and Son. Let's see who comes up.
Could Leon Bailey be the next player everyone jumps on?
Just picking my Mbeumo replacement and running through some stats. It won't be Bailey, that's between Hwang, Palmer and Bowen. With Bailey's numbers, if he can nail down a starting place he's looking like one to keep an eye on.
5.5m
543 minutes
5 goals
3 assists
xG per 90 = 0.44
xA per 90 = 0.35
Started the last 2 matches and scored in both. Villa possibly moving away from Zaniola and have switched McGinn to the left recently to replace him. Cash started right midfield against Spurs but got the hook at half time. Bailey came on for him that day and got the nod for the last 2.

Nice. But I hope Brentford still have enough to beat Sheffield on the weekend for Luton's sake, which is far more important than FPL.
Yep, that's my midfield
Things will change drastically when Salah and Son feck off though.
I will swap them to like Bowen and Kulu or something like that but might not distribute the money too much so I can get them back as they won't be out for THAT long.
Thinking of going Garnacho and Trent in for Lamptey and Mbuemo. Trent feels a bit like chasing past points but I'm thinking that with the lack of clean sheets this season I'll just keep him nailed in my team until the end of the season and just consider him as an attacker with occasional clean sheets. I'm still not sold on Garnacho but I reckon he'll be pretty nailed for the near future and he is a massive differential. Any thoughts?
I wonder if Bruno might get rested for the Bournemouth game ?
He is on 4 yellows and a booking would mean he misses the Liverpool game.

I mean obviously a better option than the 2 injured players you're taking out. Sure, why not.
Alvarez is the big one for me. Never originally wanted him but had to get him during his hot patch earlier in the season. He’s quite hit and miss now but still in my team only because there’s not many better replacements, striker wise there’s just such a drop off after Haaland and Watkins.
I’m genuinely considering Alvarez out to Solanke after the weekend even if it’s for a few games. I don’t have faith in many of the other attackers available. Waiting to see how Nkunku performs once he’s back.

Really don't want to take a -4 or even a -8, told myself I'll avoid it but it's my first season playing and I can't figure out how costly it really is.
Got a lot to sort out with only 1 free transfer.
Mbeumo must go this week now. Decided to take the obvious Palmer for him.
Been trying to find a time to bin Cash for ages, and now he's benched it's even more important.
Still want to jump in for Dubravka.
Still want to get to Arsenal defenders as I don't have any.
In one way Mbeumo's injury simplifies things longer term even if it's caused a headache right now. Blank GW18, the potential double GW, AFCON etc.

Alvarez is my Watkins placeholder. I'll bring in Solanke for Archer in 17 as well to rock a front 8 of Salah, Son, Palmer, Gordon, Martinelli, Haaland, Solanke and Watkins.
Do need to remove Cash (-4) to someone £4.5m or less though to fund Watkins in 18 though and it's just working out to who and when. Seriously considering Maguire this week as he's only £4.3. I like Colwill from the £4.5m but I suspect price rises will screw me.
Tsimikas to Maguire?
Probably not a bad idea. He's another one who's not gonna play every game especially when you need him to.
Areola dropped. Two non-playing keepers in my ranks
Kicking a man when he's down.
Balls. Should've sold him for Dub instead of Strako to bag some extra cash.
He's not in the squad so he's a hold for me until we see what occurs at the weekend!
How the feck did Calvert Lewin manage to sky that the shit bastard. Would've been a Branthwaite assist for me and would've wiped the clean sheets of all my mates who have Newcastle defenders.
Down to 9 for the GW then, looking at a -12 to sort my team out
Gets an assist.
In one of my ML, I am the only one with Bowen, Lascelles, Gordon and Branthwaite. I need at least couple of them to go big to make up some lost ground. Which means none of them will do anything.
Will never forgive myself for starting Bowen over Palmer.
Hang on, I'm gonna wank into a sock. Be right back.
We're gonna have the exact same 11 next gw.
Heck, hadn't even noticed this. Was fancying Luiz to McTom in ultimate captain hindsightery but also because he gets so many chances.
But may have to now sort keeper instead.
Need Everton and Newcastle to concede.
Cheers Trippier you daft twat
What an assist from Trips
Trippier just cost me 14 points there.
Halfway there.
Did Mbuemo to Garnacho.
Now have 5.5 in the bank and no idea how to spend it. Players are to cheap this year i think.

It's a double assist for the big man
He's done it again
Dubravka was on for 10 points before this Trippier meltdown.
Can't believe I caved in and paid 7m for this bum.
Can't believe I put Kabore ahead of Branthwaite by accident. Then Tsimikas didn't play and my rival gets the Branthwaite CS.
