Simlar team. No Haaland - I like. Need to get him back from Rd 16 though. Need to get rid of Turner

Will lean towards holding Maddison on my bench in DT. Ive got the depth for that to work.

 

[tso]

Holding as well as i need to dump Burn/VDV

 

[Burly]

Maddo out for 1-3 months apparently

Looking further into Andersen options, I do not mind trading Watkins to Martinelli to fund Konsa to Andersen.

Possibly eased back from the injury and has scored solidly without hitting the scoreboard, over the past few rounds.

Keeping Watkins and trading Maddison alternative involves
Out: J Maddison and Flekken
In: E Eze and A Areola


Watkins and Konsa traded the next round for Bowen and J Andersen.

 

[tso]

Maddo to Mitoma
VDV to Mitchell
7.3m spare

Burn can go after the break.

I have made one trade this week in FPL - Turner to Johnstone - don't like to make GK transfers, but Turner won't be playing for a while unless something happens to Vlachodimos. Was wondering if this week looks to be the right time to use my Bench Boost? Don't usually like to use these tools until later in the season when there are more double gameweeks, etc, but it appears a good time. What do you guys think? If I didn't, I would replace Tsimikas with Cash, as Tsimikas didn't start last week. Wondering if it is worth the punt, given the fixtures...

Keep it for DGs. Usually we WC before a DG to set up 15 good players.
Even if some don't play 2 games, you end up with pts from 25 games.
Better than from 15, regardless how good the fixtures look.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'd started to think down that trajectory as well.

Have swapped Cash and Tsimikas around after Tsimikas' dismal performance midweek.

RDT - have swapped Haaland and Maddison to Saka and Nketiah. Feel Arsenal might win bigtime tonight.

Make sure you see Arsenal line up although Maddison would have played first so you would need a
back up if Saka misses.

Nketiah not 100%. Probably less fit than Saka. Have a backup.

Went to Eze & Mitoma from Diaby & Maddison

4.72M in bank

Watkins and Konsa traded the next round for Bowen and J Andersen.

And the third option which likely locks me into keeping Flekken at least another two rounds would be:
Out: J Maddison and E Konsa
In: K Mitoma and J Andersen


Bowen and Eze would replace the Villa duo next round.

 

[jaca]

I have Alvarez up top with Haaland and Salah. Looking at going to Son with JWP for Madison. Thoughts? Can't get Son if I get Eze... Ska seems doubtful?

Bowen and Eze would replace the Villa duo next round.

I do like the third option although I am not overly confident on Mitoma and unsure on Ward-Prowse if I want to grab Bowen and Areola in the rounds to come, as I feel it would be too much exposure to West Ham. Eze is the pick of the bunch but insufficient cash means he needs to be targeted next round to replace Diaby. Not overly interested in many defenders which is why I am leaning towards the option that includes Andersen since the -1 is set to exit this round. Gives enough formation flexibility with Van Dijk and Foden currently on the bench if Dias does not generate any cash. Ideally these moves help compensate for holding Flekken. Bar injuries, after those aforementioned trades I should be able to hold onto to say the final 15-16 trades for a while since there is less need to generate cash due to how heavy I went in the early rounds.

 

[Kennedy]

Maddo & Alvarez out but don't know who to bring in

It's either JWP & Son or Mitoma & Son
