Still got my FH for this final week of the year. This is my current draft. Who are the absolute musts?

Dorgu playing as a winger and my guess is he’ll start again with Bruno/Mbeumo out?
makeya
Agreed
ODT
Is it time to dump Guehi?
Raziel
If you ask SAF, he will reply no. Look up. 😉
Actually got no clue what their fixtures are like. He has been getting goals and points I never expected him to get this season though, he’s been value for money starting at 4,5m. Figured Richards, Lacroix and Munoz would all outscore him. He’s done good so far. All depends oon the rest of your team.

CP did not look good today. I also have Guehi and not sure what to do about him yet.
Reg83
I benched him this week. Dont think he is a sell unless u have multiple transfers left
makeya
CP can’t handle the games with Europe and I can’t see that changing. I would stay away personally until Munioz returns
Terminators
I have had him since GW1, I will keep him, I am thinking about Estève > Keane though.
Dropping him though depends on who else you have in Def.
Will Liverpool go for him again in January?

Cunha + Hall + Dorgu IN
Semenyo + VVD + Pau OUT
Ok idea? 0.0ITB, 3FT

All sound like great transfers… But can we be sure of a Dorgu start?
Shrivathsa
Good point. He is on 4 yellow cards and a yellow means a one game suspension. So for all we know Amorim may rest him and avoid the risk of losing him for a game.
makeya
Oooft this is a great point.
Terminators
They look good moves.
makeya
Thanks guys! Dorgu the biggest punt for sure but hopefully they get the next three and then I’ll chuck him on the bench.
Reg83
Ekitike cappers. Sticking with c him again home to leeds? Haaland is away to Sunderland. I might c ekitike again.
makeya
I’m going to punt on cunha captain. I can see Haaland struggling against Sunderland defence at home for sure. Ekitike not a bad shout tho Leeds are good in attack but are open at the back.
bundeena bunnies
Sunderland are without Ballard for a number of weeks. They have a few players away at Afcon.
Their last two games they have looked very tired in second half, the season is catching up on them. As a Sunderland fan I’m very worried about City game and the next few
makeya
This is super interesting insights!
hammerfan_lm
Does anyone have any news on Timber?

Terminators
Not yet, I just think he’s being rested, they will surely need to play him against Villa and being at home he won’t have to travel on the coach.
Do you have enough for Gudmundsson > Dorgu (Heaven is £3.8m but Dorgu is probably better longer term)
Are you not tempted to play Bruno.G over Rogers?
hammerfan_lm
So should I play Timber?
I’ve swapped Rogers for Bruno G.
I can do Gudmundsson-Dorgu.
I have 5ft and 0.3m itb.
Is it worth doing, and if so, playing him?
Terminators
Yes, over Timber, I have got Dorgu in.
hammerfan_lm
Now that Rice is 50% flagged, should I alter my transfer plans?
Should I ditch him, or stick
I will have Rogers 1st bencher, but i could end up having 2 injured on the bench.
Worth risking?
Terminators
Just do Gudmundsson > Dorgu and have him first on your bench, play Bruno.G and have Rogers first on your bench, and Dorgu second.
hammerfan_lm
I did the dorgu transfer but I ended up playing him instead of timber.
Rogers will come in for rice.
Something just makes me think villa will score.i hope so anyway lol
Raziel
First on your bench might play this week. Also, Timber playing as a back again which means he plays more attacking compared to the central role. Think this is best for him, Gabriel and Arsenal.
hammerfan_lm
Well I go got that right and wrong. Yes villa scored, but timber was subbed before the goal and got a clean sheet and an assist. Oh well, you live and learn.
Terminators
Sorry, I apologize.
hammerfan_lm
Not your fault Terminators. Just the luck of the draw.
Always hated midweek games as I never do well
IvanTheTerrible
Like makeya above thinking to use the 1 FT and replace Gudmundsson with Dorgu.
Then, gonna have to bench Thiago or someone else.
Good or bad idea?

Good team Ivan. I would save the FT.
Similar with me. Think I can save the FT…what do you think? Will post the team.
Happy New Year mate! May it be a great one!
Terminators
Dorgu would give you more options, but I am not sure who you would bench, Thiago needs to start scoring again, if you are going to go for Dorgu surely you would be better going for Calvert-Lewin as you would have to switch to a 4-4-2 with Dorgu going forward?
IvanTheTerrible
Thanks Bees and T. Perhaps is best to save the FT as the next GW will start two days after this one and anything could happen
