Foster Elliot

Trippier Jones Alonso Mbemba 4.0?

Salah Eriksen Mkhi LoftusCheek Carroll

Lukaku Jesus Firmino

I'm quite aware that my lack of depth is an issue long term so hopefully can be disciplined with my transfers.

Should have waited till international break was over. Who knows who'll pick up a knock :/

Ended up with 49 points this week. Happy considering zero goals scored by starting XI. 3 clean sheets and 4 assists helping out. Decent week.

You get to choose whoever you want for just one gameweek (with the same budget of course)

Leave it for when there's double gameweek though!

Used four Subs this week for a 12 point deduction  :-\
Had Jesus as captain so two points from him, yay!  :P

But happy with the changes made.

In             Out
Britos   Lejeune   
Mané   De Bruyne   
Lacazette   Firmino   
Morata   Jesus

I was going to get Vardy and Lukaku in instead or Morata and Lacazette but the thought made my stomach feel sick  :puke2

Besides over the year I think the two I got in will out perform them.

I've had Kolasinac at 6.0 but Wenger has been playing him at centre half rather than the rampaging wing back I was picturing.

Any tips on wing backs that have started well so far? I'd be tempted with Robertson but he's not guaranteed to start.

Yeah, I noticed the other day that Hernandez shows as "Chicarito"  :puke2


Need Jesus and De Bruyne to perform this weekend.
Considered taking them out, but I'm giving it one last weekend.
Hope they do something, as Jesus has already dropped 0.1, and I imagine De Bruyne can't be far behind following him.

I've gone Harry Kane as captain. After not scoring in his last two games I just think he's due. And I'm sure the whole "he's never scored a league goal in August" story will be pissing him off.

'Zanka' is the nickname he tends to go by. We were actually linked with him back in 2008!

Well, Jesus did something, but I think De Bruyne will have to go. Only question is whether to do it now and risk international injuries, or to wait and risk price changes...


I would've too if I had him. 😀

I've got Mane too.
I thought I'd changed to Jesus, but I guess I forgot to save. Worked out okay for me  though, as if it had saved Daniels would have dropped to the bench...

The bad start continues with a meagre 49 points amassed this week.

My team is in bad shape but after the next GW I'm thinking of removing Lukaku and getting Morata & Firmino upfront. Apart from the first GW Mounie has done nothing :(
