If it wasn’t for planning to BB the later DGWs I think I would be doing it this week. Who should I bench? I’ve gone with form

You got it right.

Saka playing the full 95 minutes make me fear his minutes this weekend.

Rice, Gyo, Trossard all subbed.

Hello everyone. Got a bit of a wild move planned. Thinking of rolling with Cunha as I’m not crash hot on the options I could bring in for the future.
Rice – I don’t know if he will continue to score and assist and if he doesn’t defcon isn’t really cutting it as I have Anderson for that. I also have saka so they will need to score a few for them both to make sense and I just don’t see that. Let me know if it super wrong here.
Enzo – Deep lying playmaker against Arsenal and less box crashing. Great for Chelsea to build the attack but won’t be popping up for the G/A as much imo. Also could be wrong.
Rogers – Pretty inconsistent against harder opponents and his fixtures are mixed.
.
Currently have 2 free transfers and 0.3 in the bank. If I roll this week with Cunha against City (not impossible to score) I could field Thiago next week and bench Cunha. That would mean I could go into gw 24 with 4 free transfers and a lot more information to overhaul my team.
All three of these options are fine but I’m just not convinced. Rolling would mean time to assess. Thinking of the roll atm. Thoughts? Thanks!

If you’re not sure just stick and reassess next GW.
makeya
Advice I get from everyone here is if not sure roll and it’s been the best advice I’ve ever got with this game imo. Thanks mate, think that’ll be the play.

Rice and Enzo are both good value for what they can produce. Hard to hold Cunha ahead of either with his next 2 weeks.
You will definitely need some Chelsea in a couple of weeks with their great fixtures coming up.
I personally have traded Cunha for Enzo and put 2m in bank to get Bruno back in 2 weeks
makeya
Yeah that’s fair. I am still unsure about Enzo’s role in this new set up. If he continues to be deep lying he might be the player that gets pre-assists and no longer crashes the box is my only issue. I will want a Chelsea attacking player 100% but it could be Enzo, Palmer, Neto, Delap or even Estevao if I see a couple more games and see one of them being the target.
Cunha would only have to play City and then ride the bench for Arsenal. I don’t see him being that much different to Bruno for one game if Bruno no longer gets defcon and everyone’s go to transfer if they have the budget has been Cunha > Bruno.
Still leaning towards roll for a couple more game weeks as we also might have more info on the doubles and I can attack that too.

You are a wild dude indeed Makeya! I’m in a similar spot, but feel like lashing out with one of my free trades, and trading Cunha to Semenyo, thereby hopping on the 2nd most owned asset in FPL who seems to be punishing us since selling a few weeks ago! I just love to see him in ‘Baby-blue’ (although not really a City fan, just an admiring onlooker!) and I don’t want him to ruin my already flailing FPL season!
But….you’re probably right and it’s possibly wiser to hold trades….
Hope all is fine in sunny Oz! 😉
makeya
Haha as wild as they get my friend! Semenyo does look like a ripper player if he play, god it’s hard to call if he will. City are so stacked. I’m so jealous of city and their owners haha just adding incredible talent every window, greedy haha.
I’m diamond hands this week and reassessing next gw. Good luck in the games tonight! I’ll be watching from here in Sydney, 11pm early kick off
AJW
Sorry, didn’t get back to you Makeya!
Enjoy the 2nd half of January mate – I hear it’s alternating between extreme heat and p***ing down rain over in NSW!
Keep safe and good luck! Cheerio! 😉

Do I stick with this, or do I swap Nunes with Alderete?
Might regret benching Bowen, but not sure how I can fit him in
Any other ideas?

Palace have only scored 2 goals in 6 games since Sarr went to Afcon. Man U could get battered 4-0 or win 1-0 it’s a toss of a coin. They didn’t get a new manager bounce with Amorim but was that because of his rigid system? I would start Alederete personally.
Terminators
I would be inclined to play as you have it but put Alderete first on your bench.
I think in the next GW or two it will be time to drop Bowen for Thiago or DCL and maybe Foden for Semenyo or a Chelsea/ManU player.
hammerfan_lm
Thanks mate. Will do that change.
Yeah will tweak the changes in the next week or so. See what Semenyo game time is, and what Thiago or DCL fixtures are like m
Terminators
What about this for a WC with £100k ITB?

Not a bad team. With Guehi at City you will be cooking on gas
SAFs_hairdryer
I think I’d want a bit more resilience. Munoz is still out, Heaven won’t play and then you’re left with Gudmundsson. Palmer and Bruno still easing back and Semenyo’s minutes are unknown. As are Kroupi’s. Too many question marks in this team for me. Seems like you a couple of weeks too early on some picks.
How about Thiago for Ekitike and tighten up the defense?
Terminators
This is my current team.

Love it. Plenty in the bank when you sell Ekitike too
Terminators
Why would I sell Eki though, need Liverpool cover?

£0 ITB

I was meaning when you sell Ekitike after the Burnley game. It would free up some cash
