Yeah I think there is logic in that for sure, I’m thinking of doing the same thing!
Or even Jimenez…
A problem I have though is Cantwell as a 4th mid so need to work out a plan to get Mount in for him too.
Cookie
Is everyone back on 3 up front again now?!
Stone Frog
I’ve been 3-4-3 since GW4. The first 3 weeks with 4 at the back damaged my OR somewhat! 3 at the back for sure and I would have 3 forwards over 5 mids.
Kop Warrior
I would, but I have a Mason Greenwood sized problem up top!
OddDane
Cocococonnollyyyy :drinks: :drinks: 😉
Stone Frog
However I’m favouring premium mids and playing 3 7-8m forwards as there seems more value options up front, whilst mid priced mids are more tricky.
Wafflez
Actually thinking of doing Pukki and Cantwell to Madison and Greenwood and going 3-5-2 .
Bobby and Abraham upfront and sterling, Mane, Mount, Maddison and KDB as mids
Wafflez
The issue with that is I will have 0 left in the bank, so I need to do that move soon. So that won’t happen.
FplDoc789
I’d totally do that if not for a hit.
It’s Pukki and Nakamba for greenwood and Maddison. But that would be for a -4. So I’m on the fence having done Pukki to Greenwood for my 1 FT before he falls any more leaving me with 3.8 mil itb
Smash
I’m on 3-4-3 and thinking of going 3-5-2. Either way Barnes needs to go. I think there’s more midfield options but then there’s Wilson and Vardy
Colriles
Nope, still 4-4-2 but can see a 3-4-3 wildcard in my future.
Otieno
Like most people, I started with 4 premium defenders and I’ve stubbornly stuck with greenwood from day 1. He’s been benched in my 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 but I’ve given up now if he can’t get a start above 50% injured players. So yes, I’m now on 3-4-3

I’m currently sporting a 3-5-2 and I’m happy enough with that although I’d probably go 3-4-3 if I could sneak Vardy in there somehow.
Loud Atlas
3-4-3 fo’ life…or until I somehow get Vardy in and KDB in midfield…which would lead to a 3-5-2. At any rate, 3 at the back is generally my go-to.
man u man
I’m thinking of selling cantwell and pukki for mount and connolly and switching to 352.

Response to 182
FplDoc789
I got rid of Pukki for Greenwood anticipating the price fall
Waiting to see if Maddisons rises to bring him in as my 5th mid for Nakamba for a -4
Team attached
3.8 mil itb and 0FT
What dyu guys think? Or do I hold the transfer since Leicester play Burnley… Assuming Maddisons blanks I’d rather play Lundstram vs Arsenal or Nakamba itself if I’m gonna get only 2 points anyway. No point taking a -4 to bring in Maddisons for an anticipated 2 points ?
I had the same thinking prior to Maddisons game vs Liverpool and he scored. Wanted to put it up here first before doing anything further

inittowinit WCC & Ashes 2019 Winner
That’s the chance you take. As it is I’d probably take it. But not for a week yet.
FplDoc789
Yes innit. That’s what I was thinking. Maybe after the Burnley game if he’s still at the same price
Thanks
inittowinit WCC & Ashes 2019 Winner
I actually meant do it for this GW, but just wait a week until the international’s are cleared.
FplDoc789
Ah ok. Cheers. Slipped my mind we have the IB this weekend
Smash
Think I’d bring Hudson-Odoi in but Maddison works. Though you could just play Rico so might not be worth the hit. It’s quite a nice team
FplDoc789
Thank You Smash.
I’d like Hudson Odoi too but as you can see im tripled up on Chelsea already.
And thank you. I would be lying if I said you didn’t have anything to do with the way my team looks right now. Your advice really helped.
Smash
Ah yeah Maddison it is the
Smash
Or Wilson in for Greenwood can you do that
FplDoc789
Haha I just took out Pukki for Greenwood with my 1 FT this week Smash. Would be counterproductive to transfer Greenwood out again.
That being said Im open for any midfielder upgrade you can think of. I have 3.8 mil in the bank
Smash
Maddison really is the best bet then. BSilva is an option but he’s a bit of a rotation nightmare currently
FplDoc789
Not to mention the looking prospect of a ban.
bees393
What are you guys thoughts on Vardy vs Wilson. He seems to score mainly against lesser teams this year, but he has some great fixtures coming up.
inittowinit WCC & Ashes 2019 Winner
I’d take Vardy out of the two. He’s also got a cracking record against the perceived ‘top 6’ too.
Kruzcampo
Not last match though!!
Smash
I’d prefer Vardy long term but I prefer Wilson this week against that Norwich defence
FplDoc789
Vardy for me. But if funds don’t permit, Maddison. That’s the way I’m leaning towards. Less risky since less of my funds would be tied up there.
Stone Frog
I’d take both if I could. A front 3 of Wilson, Vardy and Abraham would be excellent value.
bees393
Thanks All. Will go with Vardy then.
I like the idea of the front 3 with Abraham and Wilson, but that would mean getting rid of Aguero. I still have hopes for him. Not so keen on Sterling..so will stick with him and de Bruyne.
Silvers
Evening guys I what to bring KDB back in nk wk really stuck which way to go help needed
Otamendi & Mahrez to 4.5m def who & KDB
Yarmolenco & Mahrez to 5m MF who & KDB
Mount & Mahrez to 5.5m MF who & KDB
Kun & Mahrez to Pea & KDB reluctant
Please choose
bees393
Best to post your team Silvers.
Silvers
Was going to do that
Stone Frog
Mahrez and Otamendi to KDB and 4.5 or less Def. With TAA, Lundstram, Soyuncu and Tomori already, you may as well get Rico and just leave him on the bench.
Stone Frog
With a buffer on prices you could hold one more week to avoid the hit.
Smash
It’s a nice team. Prob the Otamendi route then as not sure you need him. Soyuncu and Tomori have decent enough fixtures
Silvers
Cheers guys
