RDT - 126 (Bruno) Up 3 to 47

Eze in, Eze straight back out 😐
Unsure who for yet. Probably a cash grab if there is a good option

FPL - 42 (Haaland) Down to 38k overall
Lascelles 7 on pine hurts with my other 3 defs combined for 2 😆

Probably bank the trade this week. Team looks ok next week

Can someone explain to me how it works when you have a starter who didn't play, (I pretty sure I had Bowen on the field as Captain) but he is now on the bench and It's given me a 433 formation (pretty sure my formation was 343), I had Luiz on the bench who got 7 pts , I got robbed, is it different to RDT

First (playing) player on the bench comes on for anyone who doesn't play. Second comes on if you have two on field who are DNP, etc.

Too late to reverse? :ROFLMAO:

Also switched captaincy from Saka to Eze since my loop was of no use. Forgot/did not wake up in time to reverse Bowen. Somehow still on 107 after the donut and poor captaincy choice with B Fernandes to come. Gross did work out well in the end.
Very happy considering the circumstances

It's not like for like, so a MID doesn't come on for a MID, unless they're 1st drop, as Ironhawk mentioned.
So if you had a DEF at 1st drop, then it would change your formation automatically.

First Flekken, now Onana. 4/5 CS for my GKs and the extra 32 pts has seen me go from 33rd to 11th.
Such an overlooked position (for good reasons), but so important. If you get the luck, it can make a difference.

Only ARS and MAN kept a CS this GW, but given Raya was ineligible to play, and no one has Ramsdale, Onana was a massive differential.

Now with great cash gen, the question is, who to jump to and when?
He gets good SVs, so will be worth keeping against NEW IMO. Should make more cash in any case.

But then do I jump to Ederson or Vicario, or just ride until the end and ignore cash?
Ederson will miss GW18, and without VDV, Spurs look leaky at the back.

No FORs I like.
No MIDs I like.
No DEFs I like.
No GKs I like.

I'd trade in Clarry if he was an option, cos he wouldn't be the worst one.

Was thinking of Ake for 2 GWs, as he seems to be playing the John Stones role at home.
Tough fixture this week, but has a good BE and he had returns against Pool.
Only problem is, he's not nailed and City play last. With 3 certain blanks, I risk a donut.
He didn't start the UCL game, and when City went 2-0 down, he came on for Dias (who had a yellow), and City won 3-2.
I guess I just make the move and then grab one of him or Dias and hope they don't play 45' each again.

The safe pick looks like Saliba. Two good games coming up. Possibly some cash gen.
Then dump him and grab a bargain basement Udogie possibly.
Or hold and swap Hickey for Udogie? Probably the way to go.

Have turned away from grabbing City players long term, given they have a bye in GW18. Will start accumulating them afterwards.

Trades burning up. Got cash, but no long term options available.
Would love to sit on anyone half decent, but there just ain't 11 options.

Back to the drawing board.
