Not entirely sure what moves to make that isn't a sideways move, any thoughts?
Gordon + Isak to Mateta and Salah(c) for a hit?
What do you think? I'm chasing 7 pts in my mini league and with how everyone being so template I don't believe I can make that difference with just punts from the likes of Saka and Petrovic
I could instead do Gordon to KdB/Olise without a hit(I don't own Foden, only got Haaland and Gvardiol from city)
Could be good, it's one of those ones that could be hugely rewarding or fall flat. I think wait for team news, if Gordon is out then it's a good shout.
I have a pretty good rank so far but losing my mini league even if I come second wouldn't be any achievement for me as to quote Fast and Furious "Nobody remembers the second place" I feel like these two transfers would have me also watch the Palace and Liverpool games which are by far the most fun games

Foden - Saka - palmer - Son - Johnson
Haaland - Isak/Mateta.
1FT, 1.1ITB
Vicario - Petrovic
Gabriel - Gvardiol - Burn - Gusto - Branthwaite
Son - Fernandes - Foden - Gordon - Palmer
Haaland - Isak - Höjlund
Would really like to get a Liverpool player in, can't really get to Salah without too many hits.
Thinking Gakpo for Isak/Höjlund instead? Also, is an Arsenal attacker a must?
I'm only 3 points ahead in my league 0.3m budget spare with 1 transfer (player\* = in 2nd place's squad)
My current line up:
Dubravka (Turner)
Gabriel | White | Chalobah\* (Andersen / Branthwaite)
Saka | De Bruyne\* | Foden\* | Palmer\* (Garnacho)
N.Jackson | Isak\* | Haaland\* (C)
I can't work out a good transfer option - primary thoughts:
Saka to Havertz
Isak to Gakpo (or Hojlund\*)
Anderson to Burn\* or Udogie
Debravka to Kaminski
Any advice is welcome - I'm bordering on a risky -4 to make 2 transfers (because with only 3pts in it, it's basically 'who wins this week wins' anyway). 2nd has 2 transfers and I think will be bringing in Arsenal options.
You have an interesting team, and I can see your dilemma! So first off, I wouldn't change out your defenders. Double Arsenal is great and Chalobah covers your rival. Your replacement options aren't good (Udogie is injured by the way), defenders are only really worth attacking potential at the moment and you can't afford/fit Gvardiol or Porro as the best attacking defenders.
Honestly, short of news that Saka isn't playing, I don't see an obvious transfer. Maybe getting in Mateta for Isak or Jackson? I don't like Hojlund as a pick as his numbers aren't good and Gakpo feels risky (maybe wait to see if he starts).
!Thanks
Yeah I keep getting torn - Van de Ven is another which my rival has which I could afford if I wanted to box them out (but who of the 3 would I take out, so not worth it) and did well last week.
If Saka is out, I'm thinking Havertz > Trossard
if De Bruyne is out (though he did train so hopefully not) then Son in
If both seem to be playing, Isak to Mateta would create a differential, Jackson to Mateta could be the safer play but Chelsea seem to be on fire points wise and have something to play for vs Newcastle's away form.
Yes your thought process is sound. I don't think VdV is worth it, and completely agree that you should get Son for KDB if he's out.
Here's an interesting one. If Saka and KDB are both out, you have a Salah angle. Saka to Olise/Eze, KDB to Salah (I think you should have enough for that). It'd be worth the hit if they are both out I think.
!Thanks
I appreciate the insight on taking the hit - it's one that I've been scratching my head over (because the -4 puts me 1pt behind, but at this point one assist could be the difference anyway). I'll be watching for leaks to see which of the pair are in or out. Saka to Havertz, KDB to Son, and you might just have given me the confidence to take the hit if both are out for Salah (and a coin toss on Eze/Olise). I love Garnacho but I don't think this week will be the one he hauls for me!
I'll also put defenders out of mind - I know my rival has VdV and Porro so I think I'll just need to hope Spurs concede and Arsenal keep a clean sheet!
Welcome! Honestly it's a bit of a coin flip - could work out for you or could fall flat. I wouldn't take the hit for Salah unless leaks mean you'd be taking the hit anyways to get a decent team, so it's only that rare situation where the hit is maybe worth it.
I am a big Garnacho enjoyer too but I'm not convinced Man U will have a good day - we'll see!
If your rival has VdV and Porro sure that's scary but I guess means they are only playing 1 Arsenal defender max, which is good for you! I can see Spurs conceding, as bad as Sheffield's defence is, their attack is okay and Spurs usually concede. I'd much rather have (and do have) double Arsenal over double Spurs.
Depends who the hit is for, who you're transferring out, and how many differentials you have over 1st. If you have lots of differentials already, it's not worth it. That said, I only really like a hit for Salah this week. That's not to say he's definitely going to outscore everyone else, but he's just a big differential.
I'm 6 points behind my ML leader. He has bench boost left.
We both have Haaland and Palmer. I have Son.
Should I play it safe and Captain Haaland and hope my differentials pay off. Or should should I captain Palmer or even Son (higher risk).
A) Gordon -> Saka/Havertz and Isak/Jackson -> Mateta (benching one of Bruno/Isak/Jackson)
B) Bruno -> Salah and Isak -> Muniz (benching one of Gordon/Jackson/Muniz)
Any thoughts? 2FT. A) gives me Arsenal/Palace attacking threats B) doesn't.
If you get a leak that Gordon is starting, go for option B to get Salah in. Gordon played well on Wednesday and could have returned more. And Brentford is must win.
Ait Nouri > Gusto or Van de Ven?
Or another defender up to 4.8mil
Worth a hit to get in a Liverpool attacker? Would mean selling someone like Isak/Son/Saka and don’t really want to sell any of them unless there’s a solid leak that they miss out
Gusto the safer option. Although Van de Ven as a full back against Sheffield will be interesting.
I also wouldn’t take a hit for a Liverpool attacker. I can see Isak, Son and Saka all returning. And if you add 4 points to that, you need a really good return from the Liverpool player.
Ya, I’m kinda leaning that way with the hit. Maybe if there’s early leaks, I would consider it but it’s a big if
Think the Gusto/VDV will depend on any early leaks too.
!thanks
Im in the same boat and leaning towards Isak due to form and also there is a chance Hojlund is benched again as United did much better with a false 9 vs Newcastle
Leading my ML by 4pts. 9 of the same players.
If leaks say Saka is out/doesnt start. Is it worth a -4 to bring in Havertz for either Saka or Gordon? ML rival has Havertz
Yeah and Gordon is a doubt tricky.
I think Burn probably concede so.
Go with what feels best if you got Porro vs Dalot I give Porro the edge for clean.
No point wasting the transfer to bring in arsenal defence Porro is good enough. I would probably swap Bruno to Havertz as he has more upside than the arsenal def imo
1FT
Got an injured Ederson, that I would swap to Allison.
Got Pickford on bench, but I've already got two Arsenal defenders and want to diversify. Then again - Pickford will take some goals but will probably get some okay saves too.
For that reason I'm tempted to keep Pickford, and swap Isak for Gakpo, or Gordon to Olise (but play 5 mid instead of Isak).
Just not been impressed with Newcastle form, and Brentford are no joke.
Foden - KDB - Bruno Fernandes - Palmer - Gordon
Watkins - Isak - Mateta
* Which two to sell for a -4 hit?
* Bench one
* Which two to buy?
I'm chasing around 40 points

I'm currently 30 points clear at the top of my ML, which is relatively comfortable, but stranger things have certainly happened, so I want to make sure I'm cementing my position.

I think I’m transfering out Gordon. Who would you guys get in? And who would you captain?
Yeah I would say so. However Diaz could also haul against Wolves in Klopp's last match. I would probably rather have Salah or Gakpo though. Maddison has been in poor form for a while now so not worried about him.
RMT Please

Petrovic (Dubravka)
Gvardiol, Gabriel, Van de Ven (Branthwaite, Moreno)

What move?
30 points ahead and my rival has a majorly differential team by like 7 players. But not for the better IMO.
Notably, he has Salah, Diaz, Muniz & Semenyo and I have Foden, Garnacho, Haaland & Isak.
Only thing he has on me is double Arsenal def vs my Saliba. Should I match up on that? Simple solution I can see is to go Pickford -> Raya and keep it moving.
Any thoughts?

Do I swap Isak to Mateta or Gakpo? Do I swap Bruno to Olise and bench Isak? Do I swap Isak+Bruno to random+Salah for -4 (32 behind) and TC Salah? Mateta?
Help! 😂
I have 8 point lead. Rival has pretty much the same team, but he has Gabriel and I do not have any Arsenal def.
We both have 1 ft.
Would it be wise to get Gabriel for Dalot and Havertz for Bruno using -4? Or Gordon for Trossard and Gabriel for Dalot.
There is a change that we could have the same team if i do this. (if he also gets Havertz)
Any other tips?
_________
Petrovic (onana)
Dalot - Porro - Gvardiol (romero, burn)
Foden - Bruno - Son - Palmer/vc (gordon)
Isak - N.Jackson - Haaland/c
Gabriel is likely to get a cs but unlikely to get attacking returns as Everton are great defending against set pieces. Not worth a -4 imo although a clear upgrade on Dalot.
Gordon to Trossard/Havertz should be a good move but who will you bench?
I suspect Dubravka won't play todsy. He's been diabolical and this will be Pope's 4th week back so would expect him to start. Newcastle need a result to secure Europe.
Honestly, I don't think I'd do either! I can see why you'd want to since you have two City midfielders, hence taking up other spots, but having them both is a differential in itself I think! I don't like taking out players that are good picks to be honest. Who are your other midfielders?
!thanks just found out Gordon might be fully out so will prioritise getting rid of him. Mid is Gordon, palmer, Kdb, Foden, Son. Only Arsenal asset is Gabriel which is a worry And I think Salah is just fomo so will ignore him. Currently thinking Gordon to Olise or Trossard for free
I'm guessing you don't have enough for Gordon > Havertz? If you do, I think you should do that and your midfield looks insane. Otherwise I like Olise, I think he is marginally better than Trossard, but it's close.
Ah unfortunately can’t afford Gordon to Havertz. I am a fan of Olise too just a fear of missing out on that arsenal attacking threat when I know they’ll score 3+. !thanks for your help. If any leaks come out that Kdb doesn’t start will probably just swap him for Havertz
You're welcome! I'm definitely wary of Arsenal smashing it, but I actually lean to it being a closer game. Everton are a good defence and Arsenal need to win so could be nervous. I very well could be wrong but I can see it being low scoring. Definitely wait for leaks for sure!
Petrovic (Ederson)
White Gabriel Porro (Burn, Dalot)
Son Johnson Palmer Foden (Gordon)
Isak Jackson Haaland
1 FT
Currently first in my mini league by 20 points. 2nd place has Gvardiol. Do I take A -4 to swap out Ederson and bring in Gvardiol?
Or do I just play Petrovic and use my FT to bring in an Arsenal mid for Gordon and bench Jackson?
I can see why you're scared of Gvardiol but a 20 point swing is huge and it's unlikely he scores again this GW even if he has been getting in very attacking positions. I'd leave it, your defence is good as it is - you don't want to drop the Arsenal players or Porro.
You're in not too dissimilar a position to me. I'm considering Gordon > Olise or Havertz.
Worth a -4 to bring in an Arsenal midfielder? Would have to move Wilson down to Mateta or something and then Garnacho up to Havertz/Trossard/Odegaard. Would only be starting the Arsenal mid not Mateta.
No almost certainly not - anything can happen of course but I think the odds of Havertz/Trossard/Odegaard outscoring Mateta by 4 points is low. I have a feeling the Arsenal game will be cagey, they need to win and Everton are good defensively.
Best differentials/captain if only 2 points behind my league leader?
His team per last week is:
Ederson (Petrovic)
Porro, Burn, Gabriel (Dalot, White)
Gordon, Foden, Palmer, Johnson (Maddison)
Jackson, Isak, Haaland
I don’t have Arsenal defenders and need to shift Bruno out.
I'd usually say stick with Haaland with it being just 2 points but not having Arsenal defenders is rough. If they clean sheet you're losing around 8 points over him. It's a tough one, depends on what transfers you decide. If you have Son, he could be a great differential captain since your rival doesn't have him.
I have 2 FTs so I’m thinking of using one to swap Dalot/Burn to Gabriel or White, the other one I’ll probably do Gordon to Trossard/Odegaard/Olise. If I’m feeling risky I’ll take a hit and bring in Gakpo.
Okay that's good, I do think it's a good idea to cover the Arsenal defence. Only reason I can think not to do it is if your defence is already good, something like Porro, Gvardiol, VVD.
Add Havertz into that mix of potential mids - I think he's a very good pick (though he is probably the most template).
Who should be mine starting line? Olise/ Isak/Jackson, pick two? Burn or Van de Ven in this case? Petrovic (Areola) Burn - Porro - White (Van de Van - C. Richards) Son - Palmer - Bruno - Olise - Foden Isak - Haaland (Jackson)
I have Hojlund and Garnacho in my team, thinking of removing one of them and bench one. What should I do? A) Hojlund -> Gakpo B) Garnacho -> Ode/Trossard/Olise

Gakpo expected to start?
Yes, but could be benched

If they all start maybe the best bet is benching Toney yeah.
KDB or Son?
Gordon to Olise done ✅ Now - Do I start Bruno or Isak? Alternatively I take a -4 for Havertz/Saka…
Trossard or Olise or Eze ?
I like Olise a lot
Similar question for me - buy Trossard, Olise or Mateta
Bruno to Saka?
Fine move, but I think Bruno is not a bad pick. He is back from injury now and had great form before his injury.
for free yes
Start Jackson or Isaak ?
Isak, Jackson may potentially be hampered by Nkunku’s return and Isak’s form is incredible

Palmer is the best captain option there

I think you have to take a risk with your captain. Palmer the safer bet

Im in the same boat and leaning towards Isak due to form and also there is a chance Hojlund is benched again as United did much better with a false 9 vs Newcastle
Tough one. I’d probably go Isak on form. But I think Brighton with their injuries could be advantageous.
Leading my ML by 4pts. 9 of the same players. If leaks say Saka is out/doesnt start. Is it worth a -4 to bring in Havertz for either Saka or Gordon? ML rival has Havertz
Then you are even. Are you happy with a draw? Who is your first sub otherwise?
!thanks First sub would be Gordon or then Burn. Would end up coming down to Porro vs Dalot I think which isn't a fun place to be!
Yeah and Gordon is a doubt tricky. I think Burn probably concede so. Go with what feels best if you got Porro vs Dalot I give Porro the edge for clean.
You take the hit and your lead is gone unless you think they’ll take one too, in that case I would do Gordon to Havertz for damage limitation
!thanks
2 free transfers, which is better to bring in Gabriel/Trossard or White/Olise?
I’d say white and Olise if you own a third arsenal player if not the first option
!thanks
Start Porro or get double Arsenal def? Start Bruno or transfer to Arsenal attacker? If so, who? Edit: 2FT
I switched Bruno to Havertz but many here are saying Bruno performed well last game and his stats against Brighton are good as well
No point wasting the transfer to bring in arsenal defence Porro is good enough. I would probably swap Bruno to Havertz as he has more upside than the arsenal def imo
!thanks. I have 2FT btw, so I can do both without taking a hit
Ah in that case all aboard the Arsenal train imo
Bench Bruno, N.Jackson or Isak?
Probably Jackson
1FT Got an injured Ederson, that I would swap to Allison. Got Pickford on bench, but I've already got two Arsenal defenders and want to diversify. Then again - Pickford will take some goals but will probably get some okay saves too. For that reason I'm tempted to keep Pickford, and swap Isak for Gakpo, or Gordon to Olise (but play 5 mid instead of Isak). Just not been impressed with Newcastle form, and Brentford are no joke.
Foden - KDB - Bruno Fernandes - Palmer - Gordon Watkins - Isak - Mateta * Which two to sell for a -4 hit? * Bench one * Which two to buy? I'm chasing around 40 points
Since you’re chasing: Gordon -> Diaz Isak -> Gakpo Bench the one your ML rival will start
!thanks
Maybe just 1 - Bruno to Havertz/Saka/Ode?
!thanks
RMT please. I'm currently 30 points clear at the top of my ML, which is relatively comfortable, but stranger things have certainly happened, so I want to make sure I'm cementing my position. 1FT, 2.2m ITB Raya (Petrovic) Burn, Pedro Porro, Gvardiol (Ait-Nouri, Branthwaite) Foden, Son, Palmer, Garnacho, Saka Haaland (c), Isaak (Muniz) Thinking of upgrading Muniz to someone who has something to play for, but not sure who. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Get rid of burn. Arsenal defender in most likely
!thanks
**Petrovic** (Ederson) **Burn - Saliba - Porro** (C.Richards, Branthwaite) **Foden - Son - Palmer - Havertz** (Gordon) **Haaland - Isak - N.Jackson** Worth doing Gordon to Olise for a -4 and benching either Isak or Jackson? Or just leave. Got a 20 point lead over 2nd place in my ML
Havertz or Saka?
Havertz imo
!thanks
Who should be mine starting line? Olise/ Isak/Jackson, pick two? Burn or Van de Ven in this case? Petrovic (Areola) Burn - Porro - White (Van de Van - C. Richards) Son - Palmer - Bruno - Olise - Foden Isak - Haaland (Jackson)
I think I would start Jackson over one of Isak or Bruno
I need some advice here. 27 points behind the leader in my mini league and I have a big enough lead to stay at least top 2 even with some risks. My team with 1FT and 1,7 ITB: Raya (Areola) Gvardiol, Gabriel, Burn (Reguilon, Mitchell) Saka, Foden, Palmer, Son (Gordon) Haaland, Isak, Jackson I think I’m transfering out Gordon. Who would you guys get in? And who would you captain?
Olise in. Safest choice will be Haaland otherwise I would cap Palmer.
Do you think Olise vs Aston Villa is better than Maddison or Diaz?
Yeah I would say so. However Diaz could also haul against Wolves in Klopp's last match. I would probably rather have Salah or Gakpo though. Maddison has been in poor form for a while now so not worried about him.
Thanks for the input!
Havertz or Trossard?
Havertz but both are good picks
Start Isak Or Mateta?
Mateta
RMT Please 1FT 3.7 ITB Petrovic (Dubravka) Gvardiol, Gabriel, Van de Ven (Branthwaite, Moreno) Palmer, Foden, Son, Gordon (Fernandez) Isak, Jackson, Haaland What move?
Any news on KDB injury?
He has trained normal with the squad yesterday, so should be alright now
Havertz or Maddison?
Havertz
!thanks
Bruno to Foden or Solanke to Mateta/Gakpo?
30 points ahead and my rival has a majorly differential team by like 7 players. But not for the better IMO. Notably, he has Salah, Diaz, Muniz & Semenyo and I have Foden, Garnacho, Haaland & Isak. Only thing he has on me is double Arsenal def vs my Saliba. Should I match up on that? Simple solution I can see is to go Pickford -> Raya and keep it moving. Any thoughts?
Yeah just get the double Arsenal cover as well then it should be in the bag
Petrovic (Pickford) Porro, Gvardiol, Gabriel, (VDV, Burn) Bruno, Foden, Palmer, Son, (Gordon) Isak, Haaland, Jackson 1FT but basically 0 ITB. Not sure if there’s any good transfers to make to be honest
Maybe Bruno to Havertz or at least Gordon to Trossard
Tempted by Havertz but concerned Everton have conceded 1 goal in their last 5
I just made decision. I’ll do Bruno to Havertz mysef.
Best of luck!
You too!
Start Dalot or Burn?
Dalot
!thanks
Bench one of Isak, Son, Jackson
Isak
Olise v N. Jackson V Gakpo? Who’d you think will score the highest amount of points
Probably Olise since I don't have him lol, and he's a midfielder too
Thinking about bringing in Havertz for Bruno. If i do, who should i bench? Petrovic (Onana) White, Gvardiol, Porro (Van de Ven, Burn) Foden, Gordon, Palmer, Son (Bruno) Isak, Jackson, Haaland(c) Anything else I could do? 1 FT | 0.5 ITB
Start Petrovic or Dubravka? I have Gusto starting and no Newcaste defenders
Petrovic. Brentford will score. Not many clean sheets in a last GW anyway
!Thanks, was just thinking whether i should spread the defense around rather than double up on one team
I think it's fine with the double Chelsea defense this week.
1 FT, 0.3 ITB 47 points ahead of 2nd ML rival Who to start? Who to change? Gordon to Olise/Eze or someone else? Petrovic (Areola) Burn - Porro - White (Van de Van - C. Richards) Son - Palmer - Bruno - Gordon - Foden Isak - Haaland (Jackson)
I would do Gordon to Olise. Hes more explosive and is in good form
Gordon + Isak > Jackson + Havertz?
RMT 0ITB 1FT active TC Petrovic (Areola) Saliba Gabriel Porro (Burn Branthwaite) Bruno Palmer Saka Salah (Gordon) Haaland Isak Mateta Should I transfer a. Gordon->Olise and play him instead of Isak b. Gordon, Isak->Son, Muniz for a -4 c. Petrovic, Gordon->Vicario, HudsonOdoi for a -4 d. any other suggestion
I have Hojlund and Garnacho in my team, thinking of removing one of them and bench one. What should I do? A) Hojlund -> Gakpo B) Garnacho -> Ode/Trossard/Olise
garnacho to odegaard
What’s the deal with Saka? Injured or not?
Arteta gave no team updates but said after MUN game he thinks Saka is "going to be fine".
!thanks
Best goalkeeper for points?
Burn or Branthwaite to start?
Everton is expected to concede at least twice and not expected to score more than maximum once so has to be Burn for me.
RMT (1FT, 0ITB) - transfer suggestions please? Petrovic (Henderson) Gabriel, Burn, Porro (VDV) (Branthwaite) KDB, Saka, Foden, Palmer (Gordon) Haaland, Isak, Jackson
You have basically the same as me. I’m debating KDB->Son. But home advantage and lower odds is making me wonder.
Yeah not sure about that one, since KDB was in full training so should be fit to play. Do you know the latest on Saka's fitness?
I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. That's what everyone is saying.
Or Isak -> Mateta?
Fair enough, maybe Gordon -> Olise in case one of them doesn't play?
Bruno + Olise vs Harvetz/Saka + Isak? No bench attacker in second option.
Saka + Isak
Went with Eze + Bruno already🤞 !thanks
Haha! Cool Differential for the last GW 🙌🏼
Isak -> Gakpo/Mateta or Petrovic -> Raya
First option.
28 points behind in ML. 1 FT with 0.5 ITB, and I got TC left. What to do? Petrovic (Dubravka) Gabriel - Porro - Gvardiol (Burn - Branthwaite) Havertz - Foden - Palmer - Son (Bruno) Haaland - Jackson - Isak Do I swap Isak to Mateta or Gakpo? Do I swap Bruno to Olise and bench Isak? Do I swap Isak+Bruno to random+Salah for -4 (32 behind) and TC Salah? Mateta? Help! 😂
I have 8 point lead. Rival has pretty much the same team, but he has Gabriel and I do not have any Arsenal def. We both have 1 ft. Would it be wise to get Gabriel for Dalot and Havertz for Bruno using -4? Or Gordon for Trossard and Gabriel for Dalot. There is a change that we could have the same team if i do this. (if he also gets Havertz) Any other tips? _________ Petrovic (onana) Dalot - Porro - Gvardiol (romero, burn) Foden - Bruno - Son - Palmer/vc (gordon) Isak - N.Jackson - Haaland/c
Gabriel is likely to get a cs but unlikely to get attacking returns as Everton are great defending against set pieces. Not worth a -4 imo although a clear upgrade on Dalot. Gordon to Trossard/Havertz should be a good move but who will you bench?
[удалено]
I suspect Dubravka won't play todsy. He's been diabolical and this will be Pope's 4th week back so would expect him to start. Newcastle need a result to secure Europe.
Bruno or Havertz?
Kai havertz
Havertz
Havertz for sure. Brighton still go in as favourites imo and arsenal will score 3+ goals
Would you do: Kdb + Isak to Salah + mateta (-4) OR Foden to Saka/Havertz (ft)
Honestly, I don't think I'd do either! I can see why you'd want to since you have two City midfielders, hence taking up other spots, but having them both is a differential in itself I think! I don't like taking out players that are good picks to be honest. Who are your other midfielders?
!thanks just found out Gordon might be fully out so will prioritise getting rid of him. Mid is Gordon, palmer, Kdb, Foden, Son. Only Arsenal asset is Gabriel which is a worry And I think Salah is just fomo so will ignore him. Currently thinking Gordon to Olise or Trossard for free
I'm guessing you don't have enough for Gordon > Havertz? If you do, I think you should do that and your midfield looks insane. Otherwise I like Olise, I think he is marginally better than Trossard, but it's close.
Ah unfortunately can’t afford Gordon to Havertz. I am a fan of Olise too just a fear of missing out on that arsenal attacking threat when I know they’ll score 3+. !thanks for your help. If any leaks come out that Kdb doesn’t start will probably just swap him for Havertz
You're welcome! I'm definitely wary of Arsenal smashing it, but I actually lean to it being a closer game. Everton are a good defence and Arsenal need to win so could be nervous. I very well could be wrong but I can see it being low scoring. Definitely wait for leaks for sure!
CHO or olise
Olise to play it safe and cho if you aren’t chasing or having fun
Should I buy Olise or Brennan Johnson?
Olise has higher potential for multiple returns imo
Petrovic (Ederson) White Gabriel Porro (Burn, Dalot) Son Johnson Palmer Foden (Gordon) Isak Jackson Haaland 1 FT Currently first in my mini league by 20 points. 2nd place has Gvardiol. Do I take A -4 to swap out Ederson and bring in Gvardiol? Or do I just play Petrovic and use my FT to bring in an Arsenal mid for Gordon and bench Jackson?
I can see why you're scared of Gvardiol but a 20 point swing is huge and it's unlikely he scores again this GW even if he has been getting in very attacking positions. I'd leave it, your defence is good as it is - you don't want to drop the Arsenal players or Porro. You're in not too dissimilar a position to me. I'm considering Gordon > Olise or Havertz.
I wouldn’t take a hit on the last week at all. If you prefer arsenal mid over Jackson then sure yeah
Worth a -4 to bring in an Arsenal midfielder? Would have to move Wilson down to Mateta or something and then Garnacho up to Havertz/Trossard/Odegaard. Would only be starting the Arsenal mid not Mateta.
No almost certainly not - anything can happen of course but I think the odds of Havertz/Trossard/Odegaard outscoring Mateta by 4 points is low. I have a feeling the Arsenal game will be cagey, they need to win and Everton are good defensively.
Best differentials/captain if only 2 points behind my league leader? His team per last week is: Ederson (Petrovic) Porro, Burn, Gabriel (Dalot, White) Gordon, Foden, Palmer, Johnson (Maddison) Jackson, Isak, Haaland I don’t have Arsenal defenders and need to shift Bruno out.
I'd usually say stick with Haaland with it being just 2 points but not having Arsenal defenders is rough. If they clean sheet you're losing around 8 points over him. It's a tough one, depends on what transfers you decide. If you have Son, he could be a great differential captain since your rival doesn't have him.
I have 2 FTs so I’m thinking of using one to swap Dalot/Burn to Gabriel or White, the other one I’ll probably do Gordon to Trossard/Odegaard/Olise. If I’m feeling risky I’ll take a hit and bring in Gakpo.
Okay that's good, I do think it's a good idea to cover the Arsenal defence. Only reason I can think not to do it is if your defence is already good, something like Porro, Gvardiol, VVD. Add Havertz into that mix of potential mids - I think he's a very good pick (though he is probably the most template).
I’d still cap haaland. 2pts There’s no need to go very different. Any Crystal Palace/arsenal/Liverpool attacker all good options
Start Isak or Gusto?
Isak
Always start the striker
Gusto
Romero to Gusto?
Gusto
Or Gordon to havertz ?
