Hazard >> Salah/Mane is it a sideways move ?

Not now. I did it last week but I wouldn't do it now.

Why's that ? Apart from Chelsea, Liverpool have decent fixtures coming up.

[Kuchi]

Yes Liverpools games are very good. Just Chelseas are better and I think Hazard is the better option from this week onwards. If you had Morata then I understand it.

[pdhmobile]

Hey

what are thoughts on Kane > Lukaku this week which would give me Luk (C) Vardy Morata
Then next week do Vardy > Kane along with a -4 to downgrade a defender to raise funds

Or

take a hit this week, get rid of vardy and have Kane Luk Morata this week?

Just dont know what to do

[Kuchi]

I wouldn't sell Kane unless he is injured. Would do the Vardy move out of those two options.

[JoonaR16]

2 FTs, I'm thinking:

Jesus Lukaku
Lacazette Morata

I have Kane and Salah, Silva, Richarlison and Choupo on midfield. Wise move?

[Billy Bongo]

I'm ignoring Lukaku

Form I've fixtures for me

Hemed Davies Alonso out

Josh King Dann Daniels in

-4

Vardy with a nice fixture run will haul soon

[fiddlestyx]

Activated the wildcard this week. First pass puts me with a 3-4-3 and 0.6 ITB.

Lossl | (Elliot)
Stones | Jones | Daniels | (Mee) | (Naughton)
Ramsey | Salah | Richarlison | Sane | (Carroll)
Lukaku | Kane | Abraham

Still on the fence of getting in Morata in place of Kane and a Spurs defender. I'd plan on taking out Lukaku for Kane GW 15-16. Not a lot of choices in the 7M range, but Ramsey has been a good value of late and their fixtures aren't bad with the exception of Spurs next GW. I'm sure I'll be tinkering with it the next couple weeks.

[tommyk7]

Two free, looking like Jesus Lukaku funded by Alexis Salah.

[sstaffsw]

Got two frees but looking at taking a hit for three transfers:

Jesus Lukaku
Bertrand Daniels
Eriksen Salah

[Notned]

Vardy Rashford
Ritchie Zaha

Is tempting me for a -4.

I also want Morata in for Jesus, but mulling over whether that is worth an additional hit now, or for free in a week or two. A minor injury to one of the City strikers on international duty might be useful in making said decision.

Form over fixtures for me

Vardy with a nice fixture run will haul soon

sorry Bongo but contradicting?

[No Way Jose]

Already have jones thankfully so sorted there. I've done Silva to salah and Cedric to Daniels. No more trades for me.

Thinking of moving towards 352 with gross, richarlison, Pogba, salah and sane as my midfield. Would let me alternate a midfielder, Abraham and D4 (currently Daniels) based on fixtures and have me pretty sorted for the Christmas period. Thoughts? Too much money on the bench too often?

I'm basically looking at -8 (again) to get Jones/Daniels/Lukaku in. Feel that I could very well make that back this week. Jones I can see me keeping all season, Daniels compared to Cedric feels like a no-brainer and Lukaku will become Morata. Pogba is a wait and see I could probably do CM to him when the time is right but feel that a midfield of any from: Richarlison, Salah, Erikson, GroB, Hazard, Sane, Sterling will do very well overall. With Abraham that is a bit more tricky as he is not pretty much 6 mil- premium defender. He should play and you will always have the option to bench but with these fixtures sure. For me bench money I like to have as close to minimum as possible as I don't want to be thinking "oh I could get an extra 0.5-1.5" but don't think it is terrible. Swansea rotate well/well enough with a couple of teams so you are always going to have options as well as possible good points on the bench. Right now I am not sold on three premium mids although try have a plan to do so. Although there seems to be more in mids for City than forwards so you are looking at Kane/Morata +1 ok possibly Lukaku but I would prefer Pogba from utd. What puts me off of 3-5-2 is who would be the 3rd forward?
Niase? Calvert-Lewin? Ayew? Calvert-Lewin seems the best choice right now but I would be looking at that spot thinking .... Well that is probably a transfer at some point. Obviously if you have say 14 players you are VERY comfortable then fine I think you could have 1 sub that is a "dud". But if you are carrying City players then who knows what will happen over Christmas.

My thinking is similar but I'm just thinking there is a lot more value in defence and midfield at the moment so running with Kane and lukaku (who becomes morata round 14) is the way to go. I have Abraham as the third striker but he could be downgraded to a 5mil player if I need cash

I feel like I can make a pretty solid 15 with Daniels to become dummett once Bournemouths good run finishes in round 16 to free up more cash. D3 will soon no longer be Davies but become one of Moreno, otamendi or vertonghen

[No Way Jose]

I'm looking at
Ritchie Loftus-Cheek
Rosenoir Jones (-4)

Would leave me with a weak midfield of: Salah, Sterling, Gross, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah - However strengthens the bench. I think I could potentially downgrade Lukaku after his nice couple of fixtures and get pretty much anyone in midfield to upgrade Chalobah. Think this is a good idea?

Would leave me with this for next GW:

Elliot (Foster)
Alonso Jones Daniels (Naughton, Wimmer)
Salah Sterling Gross Loftus-Cheek (Chalobah)
Kane Lukaku Morata

Originally was going to downgrade Alonso for Jones and then upgrade Ritchie but have a feeling could be the wrong time to ditch Alonso? - Midfield looks a bit weak but knowing I can downgrade Lukaku and upgrade Chalobah in a few weeks is reassuring. Another option is the boring Foster Pope. But then still have the Ritchie, Rosenoir, Chalobah problems.

I wouldn't be too worried about your bench this week as your only selection risk is sterling. Can you afford possibly foster to pope and Ritchie to richarlison or even choupo moting?

[No Way Jose]

Vardy Rashford
Ritchie Zaha

I would hold on jesus. Morata seems a relatively fixture proof striker but not too much harm in waiting til GW14 when chelseas fixtures get even better

Yep, that's probably the safest option. Will be monitoring international minutes closely, see what we can deduce (if anything!).

No just good fixtures so he's going big on Bournemouth!

0.4m short for Ritchie to Richarlsion which is frustrating. Really feel like I need Jones in there as well before he keeps rising. Choupo probably the best option for straight swap but not even convinced he is a better option than Loftus-Cheek for the extra money. Tough one. Just realised Shaqiri is only 5.9m could do a straight swap for Ritchie...interesting differential.

[Billy Bongo]

're form over fixtures, I was referring to Lukaku

Doesn't look very good at the moment clearly missing pogba

[RuudTheDudeVanTheMan]

If Pogbas back for the next game it makes bringing Lukaku back in more appealing.

[aiwnjoo]

thinking of kane > lukaku for one week, have this currently;

pope
kiko, ward, lowton
matic, salah, eriksen, de bruyne
kane, morata, firmino

2FT too.

[Highlander12]

A while to go until next GW but struggling due to prices changes so need to make some decisions quickly.
Was considering taking a -4/-8 this week.

Team currently set up as follows:
0.1m ITB
Elliot (Foster)
Alonso Daniels Naughton Wimmer (Rosenoir)
Salah Sterling Gross (Ritchie, Chalobah)
Kane Lukaku Morata

Some options i'm considering are:
1) Ritchie Loftus-Cheek / Rosenoir Jones (-4)
2) Ritchie Loftus-Cheek / Rosenoir Jones / Foster Pope (-8)
3) Ritchie Shaqiri
4) Ritchie Shaqiri / Foster Pope (-4)
5) Foster Speroni / Ritchie Richarlison
6) Alonso Jones / Ritchie Richarlison / Foster Courtois (-8)

A lot of different options here but looking to shift some deadwood (Foster, Rosenoir, Ritchie).
All options are 0.0/0.1m buffer so may need to move soon on some of the moves.

Was planning on ditching Alonso this week to use funds elsewhere and I really want Jones before he gets too expensive. However, with Chelsea's fixtures and Kante back...it could be time to keep? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Also thinking after Lukaku's next 2 or 3, he becomes a cheaper striker and then Chalobah can become pretty much any mifielder barring Sanchez. Meaning I could have a full bench by then.

[First Sub Podcast]

Option 1 looks the best move there imo

[Highlander12]

Option 1 looks the best move there imo

Leaning towards that, have the exact funds - Jones/Loftus-Cheek not rising anytime soon and Rosenoir/Ritchie not falling which is handy.
Wouldn't fancy the Foster Pope move?

[jimwinn]

Option 4 for me

Pope is getting good save points and clean sheets
Ritchie is sharing set piece duties now and Stoke have decent fixtures. I ditched him first Salah this week - should have done that a few weeks ago

[No Way Jose]

Option 1 for me

[Blue Fire]

Team currently set up as follows:
0.1m ITB
Elliot (Foster)
Alonso Daniels Naughton Wimmer (Rosenoir)
Salah Sterling Gross (Ritchie, Chalobah)
Kane Lukaku Morata

Some options i'm considering are:
1) Ritchie Loftus-Cheek / Rosenoir Jones (-4)
2) Ritchie Loftus-Cheek / Rosenoir Jones / Foster Pope (-8)
3) Ritchie Shaqiri
4) Ritchie Shaqiri / Foster Pope (-4)
5) Foster Speroni / Ritchie Richarlison
6) Alonso Jones / Ritchie Richarlison / Foster Courtois (-8)

Option 1 and then Foster -> Pope next week

[Highlander12]

Cheers all, option 1 leaves me 0.0m in the bank and Pope is due to rise tonight so won’t be able to do the Pope move unless I did it tonight.

[Blue Fire]

Cheers all, option 1 leaves me 0.0m in the bank and Pope is due to rise tonight so won’t be able to do the Pope move unless I did it tonight.

Go for it then. I did the same move for a hit a couple of weeks ago and Pope has outscored Foster by 14 points already!
