Glad I corrected that woeful Son to Mbeumo mistake. Although it took a week on to pay off.
Been a funny season.

2 games at least. You'll be able to bring him straight back in as well if you keep the money aside.
Ahh maybe Haaland to Twatkins will be the transfer then.
15 points this week!
This game sucks. Feck off.
I see. We have a very similar teams and front 7 is the same but I have Bowen for Son. I have money to get Son now (after Palmer for Mbeumo) but I really rate Bowen. Ideally, I get Son for Gordon or Palmer but If need more reshuffles for that.
Yeah but remember, Son is off to Asia cup soon so you're booking in a transfer.
Checked tonight, he's there for another 4 fixtures and they're looking good.
And it's not as if there's other banker options available. The game has been a total shit show this year and with two of the top 3 beasts gone for some time in Jan, it'll get worse before it gets better
Read 'em and weep boys (I know I am).
Admittedly I'll get an extra 2 points from Saka
65 for me once Salah gets the captaincy and my subs come on

Ooft. Devastating. Mental when your keeper (who didn't even keep a clean sheet) is your highest scorer for the week.
Mine is worse than this only I have Dinge, Bruno and Douglas Luis all missing the next game and I had to use 2 subs to get 11 players this week.Read 'em and weep boys (I know I am).

Same. My plan was to do Tsimi and Donkey to Porro and Watkins in next two weeks. That's gone. Both Taylor and Trippier decided to get banned so I am down to playing the legend that is Mengi away to Bournemouth now. Which is pushing me towards doing Mengi to Porro now but that locks me out of doing Donkey to Watkins, but if Haaland is to be sold I can still get Watkins for him and keep the damn donkey.
Feels like I just get Porro now and get the position. Sorted and the think about the rest later. I can also play Mengi and sell Tsimi already as planned to Porro but the question is are we keeping Haaland. If he has to be sold then surely he goes out for Watkins and that just makes the other transfer Mengi to Porro and think about the money to get back Haaland when he comes back by which time you'd have sold Salah and then Son anyway.
It feels like no one really has a plan on how to deal with this shit storm.
Looking at next week

Gabriel, Tsimi, Mengi
Saka Salah Son Palmer Gordon
Haaland, Donkey
Areola, Trippier banned, Taylor banned, Mubama
Do you take a hit to get in Porro if Haaland is out? And do you sell Mengi or Taylor? @CassiusClaymore @Dirty Schwein

Luckily you can afford to wait because of his price point. What's your plan to get him back though if you're upgrading one of those bench warmer defenders to Porro? Donkey out I guess.
But yeah I'd take that hit if he's out. Twatkins straight in and Porro for Mengi.
I've already done Saka in for Martinelli last night in a rage transfer. Don't have to worry about Twatkins price rise now so I'll bring him in for Haaland later in the week I guess even though I'm hovering over it tonight because I'm greedy.
Bus team...
Dubravka
Tsimikas Gabriel Porro
Saka Salah (c) Son Gordon Palmer
Haaland Alvarez
Areola, Archer, Kabore, Trippier
I'm usually reluctant to take a hit for a defender but Porro is so attacking that it might be worth it. He could have easily got 2 assists today. But wait until we hear more about Haaland. If he misses more than 1 game then do it.
Just keep a way to get the yeti back easily if needed.
If you sell Haaland now you just sell Salah to get him back? Porro is going up tonight and I am down to two playable defenders next week so I need to think about that move today.
True. Yeah go for it. People will say wait but we need to get on these price rises to build a bit of a buffer to get back Salah and Son. £0.3m difference at moment between their sell price and buy back price.
Yeah. I think I will sell Taylor over Mengi. Mengi is playing next week just and Taylor's fixtures coming up aren't great.
I will try fit them all back in but that's why I won't spread funds too much (simply because there aren't many better players for high money). It won't be a problem for you I reckon.
Neither of those two will get you much return mate so just sell the one that costs more even if it's by 0.1.
All these teams gonna have money that no one will know what to do with soon.
Both are 3.9.
I still have the option of selling Tsimi as planned who have bad fixtures for defense and play Mengo this week if we think there won't be much between those two and then sell one of Haaland or Donkey to Watkins depending on Haaland's fitness.
Err, is Watkins going up tonight?
Potentially. More likely tomorrow.
In which case I need to make that transfer today as we won't get any new info between today and tomorrow.
So either I go with the plan and sell Tsimi and Haaland to Porro and Watkins which keeps the door open for doing directly doing Darwin to Haaland. (One less transfer, but means playing Mengi this GW)
Or sell the non playing Taylor and field 3 good defenders this week (question if Tsimi gets anything this week) but then I need to make two moves to get Haaland back and will have to bench one good defender every week.
His delta has gone from 1600 to 400 in last 30 minutes. Think he's going up.
My team is a mess, need a wildcard.
Dubravka - worried he could be dropped, looked ropey
Turner - at least he's potentially back in favour
Cash - benched
Tsimi - ok but susceptible to rotation
Guehi - shite
Branthwaite - suspended
Lascelles - leaky
Sterling - dropped to the bench this weekend
Bowen - not going to score much if his team play like that every week
Saka - fine
Salah - saviour
Gordon - newcastle look so tired
Haaland - who knows how long he's injured?
Watkins - fine
Archer - 2 points every week merchant

Haaland sold. 
How long ahead does everyone look when it comes to fixtures and making transfers? 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6? Beyond that?
Obviously we all love the players we can keep all season but it doesn't always work out like that.
Need a defender urgently and I love pretending to be a maths professor, messing round with numbers even though I don't know what I'm doing. About to do some dodgy analysis! I know there's points prediction tools but this is more fun to me.

feck it, I'll join youHaaland sold.
As long as you still don't have my address, sure go ahead.feck it, I'll join you
Actually I got 0.2 buffer so maybe I shouldn't but I can't see us getting any info on Haaland between now and the next game.As long as you still don't have my address, sure go ahead.
I would've waited if it wasn't for the blank as well and I also didn't have Watkins so just did the move now.
Done it
We'll get through this and come out as better players. Or dead.Done it
Pep said it was reactionary to the stress fracture which means even if he plays against Palace, it won't be a full 90 (and I'll just hope Twatkins outscores him). Pep also said he isn't sure Haaland will be fit for Palace but hopeful for Saudi Arabia so that's all I needed to hear. If the Pep Guardiola is my idol still plays him then I will just have to hope he stays quiet, plus who will be brave enough to captain him when Salah playing against a United defence that just conceded 3 to Bournemouth. I know this decision will bite me in the ass thoughWe'll get through this and come out as better players. Or dead.
If Haaland is out I would just do Haaland to Solanke or Watkins for fee and leave Porro till the week after.
I doubt there is any more info before the Palace game that changes things drastically. He will drop in price this week with the flag and Watkins is already going up so you are looking at a 0.2 swing with a blank coming up anyway so I doubt it ends negatively.Pep said it was reactionary to the stress fracture which means even if he plays against Palace, it won't be a full 90 (and I'll just hope Twatkins outscores him).

I'm more worried about having to keep Darwin. Him firing in the next two games could make doing this worth it.
That would mean playing Menga this week and losing value on Porro who looks like a long term buy for now. We non owners were lucky he didnt get 10 points today. Forest away isn't perfect but he has a big haul in him that can come any day.
