PB, didn't you get rid of Gross? That would absolutely suck.

I wildcarded, so yes. I don't really want to know what my team from GW3 would've scored this week, but something tells me I would've benched Gross anyway.

I ended up with 49 this week and I think I have a better team anyway. Blind not starting wasn't great but Ward got me 8 from my bench anyway so didn't lose out there.

Morata or Jesus?!

Chelsea with a tougher draw coming up, but Jesus doesnt look to be getting the minutes, but i think will come good. Got 10.4

Morata on fire. Pretty livid with myself for talking myself out of him initially. :(

Just a reminder to everyone that the first game this week is 5am tomorrow, might be too late for some if they've forgotten but remember to set your teams if you can folks!

Pogba also out for up to 6 weeks too for those that have him.

Had 2 free transfers this week, was only planning to use one this week where I went Zanka to Kiko Femenia. Reasoning just that I feel Huddersfield's draw is closing up big time and Femenia the next best 4.5 scoring option despite the draw. Has been handy the first few weeks.

Have now got the Pogba issue to deal with, didn't realise and he has already dropped .2 so missed out on logical replacements in David Silva or Mkhitariyan which is frustrating. No one cheaper fills me with much confidence going forward except Gross (who I already have, get on folks. ;) ) so settled on Choupo-Moting from Stoke as a downgrade sort of option. Will then probably next week and offload Charlie Daniels or Cedric to Kolanasic or Ben Davies and rotate between 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 until Pogba returns (UCL permitting). Hazard also a target but not sure how I am going to pull it off unless I downgrade Lukaku at some point.

Team for GW5

Hart
Alonso, Daniels, Cedric
Salah, Alli, Choupo-Moting, Gross
Lukaku, Kane, Abraham

(Elliott, Femenia, Carroll, Mbemba)

Bank: 2.5
Rank: 43,575

Still holding onto the wildcard for now, don't think team is doing that poorly. :P

Ended up using my wildcard.

Decided to go with Doucoure over Gross so we'll see how that works out.

39 with Blind, Alonso, Mhkitaryan, Lukaku to play. Foster, Naughton and Bertrand all kept cleans amazingly, Brady got credited with the Burnley assist, and Salah scored. Firmino and Kane (C) only two to do nothing so far.

None of my defenders started! Danilo, Davies and Stephens all didn't feature. Lucky I had some contributions off the bench!

Not too sure about Danilo, but Davies will surely come in next week and this was just rotation. Stephens is cooked though, Yoshida and Hoedt started yesterday, and VVD came on for 5 minutes off the bench, and he will take Yoshida's spot from next week (or the week after). With Soton only having English Cup games to worry about and no Europe I doubt there will be much playing time for Stephens moving forward.

[Mongoose528]

38 for me, with Lukaku + Jones + Mkhi to come.

Hopefully Manchester United dominate today and keep Everton goalless.

Can bring in Fabiankski, Kompany (whens he back?) and Aguero this week for De Gea, David Luiz and Chicarito. I think those are solid moves. Only costing me 4 points

Not sold on City defence, not when there's plenty of options going around. Also De Gea has done nothing wrong and will clean more than Swansea.


I'm looking at Blind + Bertrand to Kolasinac + Hoedt/Jones. Would be a hit if I made the moves, but Blind isn't even starting (Transferred him in for two non starts ::)) and Bertrand is not showing anything on the attacking side so Hoedt would make more sense if I wanted to stay with Soton cover. If I want to get Jones instead I need to make the move before his price rises.

Thanks mate :) Thats handy info as I dont have a great idea of rotation and whats going on at every club haha.

So yesterday I did...

J.Stephens -> Otamendi

Now I am looking at copping a hit this week, but since I am playing the bloke right above me on the table I should probably try limit it to a -4.

Danilo -> P.Jones (makes me 0.4 and gets me a good starting defender who will prob rise in price this week).
Kane/Kaku -> Aguero (hitting some peak form with solid fixtures and about to rise in price as well).

Some decisions to be made it seems! Aguero probably rising in the next 15 mins

[Keeper27]

brought in aguero and gave him triple captain. hope it works and he bangs in 5 against palace LOL
