He missed the last two of last season, but yeah, he's been pretty much ever present since we signed him.

How did Hegazi perform yesterday? Are we expecting him to be nailed even when everyone is fit?

Durno, but he scored, and he is 68% towards a Price Rise :wink:

Yes, that's why I'm interested :lol:

Definitely a good bandwagon if he is going to be nailed, 4.5m WBA defender may well be a season keeper. But is he going to be nailed?

Is that relevant if he double jumps in the next GW or two?

It is relevant. Double rises are always nice, but the most important thing is to get season keepers as cheap as possible.

If you get a season keeper at 4.5m and he jumps to 4.7m, then you have effectively earned 0.2m, not just 0.1m.

People often think that you earn just 50% of price rises, but that's not true with season keepers. With season keepers you effectively earn every single 0.1m price rise.

That would be a bonus, though?

A quick double, before being relegated to bench, or WBA defence going bad again - and there is a 0.1 Baggie bonus?

Of course double rise is always nice, but like I said, the most important thing is to get season keepers as cheap as possible.

Double rise for a short term option is worth 0.1m, while double rise for a season keeeper is worth 0.2m.

A West Brom supporter I know is not convinced Hegazi will keep Jonny Evans out of the side despite his good debut.

TAA scores 30yd direct free kick tonight vs Hoffenheim. Didn't know he had that up his sleeve.

Any words of wisdom?

Why are you looking to replace Danio?

Anybody know how Lowe looked against Palace?

On many set pieces?

What about Trent Alexander Arnold who plays for Liverpool as he was very impressive tonight against Hoffenheim

I think it will be tough for Clyne to get back into the team after his stand out performance

If his place was guaranteed, he'd probably be the stand out player in the whole game at 4.5. LIV defender on free kicks and corners.

I'll just throw in some negatives though
- Coutinho will be back on most set pieces if/when he returns
- Should Liverpool make the Champs League, I envisage regular full back rotation with Clyne. However at 4.5 you could afford to carry him in your squad as long as you have good back up defenders, and he doesn't start getting part appearances.

I doubt Cout will be there come September; the only downer is the possible 1 pointers, but does Klippity have a history of taking FB's off?

What about Mbemba, 4.0, will he get Lejeune's space when the latter is injured?

Any concern over Stephen Ward's place at Burnley? If they keep a clean sheet this weekend against WBA I can see his NTI building momentum and getting a couple of early price rises.

Declan Rice in line to start for the Hammers today against Southampton, not seemingly through any injuries to the first team too but rather an impressive individual cud showing at Old Trafford. Interestingly he could start in central midfield too, maybe one to watch but could be out of the side at a moments notice, shame he's not priced at 4.0

None at the moment, but Charlie Taylor is waiting in the wings should he get injured or suffer a drop in form.

Geoff Cameron 4.5 STO.

Stoke conceding only one from tough opening fixtures.

I guess hes first out though if they go 4 at the back. Little attacking threat.

Looking at Kiko Fermania, 4.5, as a downgrade of Danilo, to be my 5th defender.

Watford have kept 2 clean sheets in a row and he's got 2 bonus in each.

Erratic fixtures but if I go for a week 11 (ish) wildcard i need cover most in the meantime in weeks 6 and 10, when Watford are respectively away to Swansea and home to Stoke.

Mbemba at 4.0 is certainly an option though as Newcastle have some kind fixtures. Lejeune was said to be out for "weeks not months" in mod August though so without a concrete update, I suspect he may be back after the international break.

Talking about 4.0 defensive gems, is Elliot secure of his role as starting goalkeeper for Newcastle or is there someone else bound to come in before Friday?

Word has been that Rafa wants one.

But then he could be at WHam or Arse by the weekend?
