With 3rd string Woodman in goals, I think Villa assets will be juicy.
Maybe all those quick to dump Young or Buendia hold off one more week?
At home, Villa could replicate the Hammers and put 4 passed them.

With ARS playing CHE & City next, I might hold off Tierney until then.
With that COVID decimated side, they're gonna make minced squid out of Calum Mari.

KDB never trained so will have to wait and see now.

Awesome Gundogan is fit.

Pulisic has tested positive for Covid so that decides him being a 1 week punt.

Likely to go Pulisic/Young > Pogba/Cancelo

Probable lineup
Bachmann
Trent, Cancelo, VVD, Tsimikas
Bruno, Pogba, Mbeumo
Salah, Vardy, Toney

Can loop Canos and Vardy which is a bonus

 

[Under The Dome]

Probably just Bailly to Pereira with news on Gundogan sounding good.
Hopefully he starts so I can have that City asset vs Norwich.

 

[vsberlina]

Any way I look at it, Cancelo and Pogba in are the only way to go.
Can't trust any City MIDs. Would love Mahrez but just throws future plans out.
Every opportunity has an opportunity cost, and the risk / reward for Mahrez is just not right.

Well, that decides one of my trade outs. He was originally going to be just in for the one game, scoring 17 I was tempted to hold, easy decision now.

Can't afford both Pogba and Cancelo this week which seem to be popular trade ins here, due to not keeping as much cash (I started Mahrez in R1 which may have been a bad move), so I'll be punting on someone else at this stage. Waiting on teams and the early game results to decide. I might still grab Cancelo for Shaw, it will also depend where Pogba lines up.

Felt the same with Pulisic. 17 a good start and with Arsenal to come. Potential rotation at Chelsea the downside. Glad my minds been made up. He was my only out to my preferred trade ins.

Tsimikas last week by the looks of it.
With Young not a certain starter that is 2 wasted trades coming up.
If KDB does not start think i will leave it this week.

 

[jaca]

Havertz is the only one I really want to move on today. Think I might go to Sancho. Saints are going to be bad this year, hopefully United capitlise.

 

[Herbie66]

99% I will go Gundogan - > Pogba.

If Young is not starting , might go him to Cancelo

Had the Bertrand potential price drop issue to deal with in FPL this week. Ended up settling on Tanganga as his replacement and putting a further 0.5m in the bank.
X v Y - Coufal v Leicester at home vs Tanganga v Wolves away. Any thoughts?

WHU vs LEI always has goals for both sides. Doubt Coufal will keep a CS, but he's always a threat for goal involvement.

WOL last week did better than I expected. But can they score? Given Spurs kept a CS vs City, you'd think they can stop WOL.
Plus if anyone knows the WOL players, it's Nuno. Tanganga probably the better bet.

 

[vsberlina]

ARS spent 25m quid (probably more with oncosts) on a GK that has been relegated not once, but twice.
They're bloody mad. Wenger will be turning in his grave, and he's not even dead yet.

My initial setup includes Tanganga. I think Spurs are more favoured to keep a clean sheet, and whilst on paper Coufal probably comes up trumps with attacking returns, Tanganga is not defending Sterling and Grealish this week.

Score: 200
Overall Rank: 111

Fantastic to see so many SCS members get off to great starts and hopefully this continues over the next few rounds.

Current trades:
Out: J Maddison
In: P Pogba
View attachment 33417
No pressing issues yet and would have preferred to keep Maddison a while longer but he was always dispensable (just like Havertz). Will reassess Sema and Toney after RD2.

Suddenly considering Toney to Calvert-Lewin and changing the formation to move Pereira to the bench and Mbeumo onfield.



Should I go ahead with this change or keep Toney for another round? Ings will likely be traded next round for Calvert-Lewin/low breakeven forward either way.

Early days but it’s all we can go off. Like pairing the cross dumping Digne with DCL as a differential. Toney could still go off with his next 4 fixtures tho, but you could always go back to him from Ings.
