FPL and EPL 2017/18 thread

Kane -> Lukaku/Vardy
Zaha -> Xhaka

Worth the -4?

I am in a cash league atm and the bloke I am playing this week only beat me by 3 pts (because he had Lukaku C).

Strategy is to manage wins and losses through the first half of the season and focus on building a massive team value, then come home like a steam train after Xmas.

Xhaka set to increase in price, Lukaku a fair chance to soon.

I wouldn't do any of these transfers. Xhaka is a cdm and they're no good for fpl, and Kane is the best striker in the game, he was unlucky not to score against Newcastle (Hit the post).

I restrained :P Can see not have Lukaku hurting me all season though! :-\

Any other way you can bring him in? I think he'll go off against Swansea.

Jesus I could cut if I can find the 1m (means taking a hit obviously).

Otherwise I drop DeBruyne to someone 6m and do JRod to Lukaku haha

Lukaku all set to rise in price tomorrow morning, feel like (with Swansea this week and a relatively soft opening fixture) its becoming a now or never situation. Of course United won't score 4 goals ever match but I would back them for at least 2 over this early stretch.

I'd hold. You'll probably wildcard in a few weeks and can get him in next week anyway. I'm thinking I'll hold this week, then use 3 transfers next week to get who I need to get.


But then again Lukaku plays Swansea and Kane plays Chelsea...

Fair chance both score a couple, our defending was woeful against Burnley and we lose G.Cahill through suspension. Least we get Moses back allowing Azpi to drop back in.

Obviously Palace were disgraceful in GW1 but Ruben Loftus-Cheek playing as part of a front 3 as a 4.5 midfielder is enormously tempting...

Operation get United attacking cover has taken an interesting turn. Could get Mkhitaryan in for Zaha (who is in doubt) by making 1.0 somewhere else.

From what I have read, RLC's position could be under threat as Palace look to ring the changes.

Zaha injured  :-\

I thought it was just precautionary? Any news come out today?

This guy is reliable apparently, so he's out for supposedly 4 weeks.

Haha didn't take the hit, watched Lukaku heartbreakingly rise in price :'( Kane + Jesus hatricks this week pls

Flicked Zaha to Ritchie. Newcastle's next month is fairly generous and Ritchies and free-kicks, some corners and pens on lock. I also rate him as a player which is a bonus hahaha

Ritchie should be a great option. I've gone for Ramsey, who had 4 shots in 24 minutes and scored a goal against Leicester.

I'll be going to a 5.5 or cheaper so it's either Gross, Mooy or a RLC for me.

I know lots were going for Atsu (who I think is 1m cheaper) due to his pace and higher attacking threat but I can't say no to a bloke with a monopoly over set pieces who scores the odd screamer!

Rambo is a very good choice, I did consider him too. Can see him having a great season.

I think Ritchie should score much better compared to Atsu. Atsu seems to be all skills and pace but no end product.

Weird fact here...

Stoke has more champions league winners in its squad than any other English team!
