No Ekitike
in comes Declan Rice from the bench
hammerfan_lm
Yeah same here. Finally some good news this week
Raziel
Congrats. Bad luck for All the non owners though.
Terminators
With Ekitike out I just need someone else out so I get Rice in!
Terminators
Looks like Keane and Gordon are starting, so it has to be either Nunes or Foden.
IvanTheTerrible
I have Miley coming in. Only CS can makes me happy but doubt that will be the case
IvanTheTerrible
Better than expected. Miley assisted Bruno G, my two Newcastle players
Raziel
Just checking the last five minutes of United. My God are they poor. How is that fifth in the Premier League.
Raziel
Everton loses cleansheet. Thiago scores. Owning both Thiago and Pickford that’s alright I guess.
Raziel
Hmm. Plan before Ekitike was just Saka to Rice. Now I’m actually contemplating a complete system change and going for an eight point hit.
Raziel
Second Thiago goal. Boom. Pretty sure most sold him.
Reg83
Yes. Bought him a month ago. Held him for all his blanks and meager assist in a 4-0 win.. of course now he hauls away to everton.
ODT
Woltemade does crap when I get him weeks ago. Send him packing for Thiago who then does crap for weeks. So I get Woltemade back who doesn’t start or does crap all again while Thiago goes off. Story of my season so far.
Raziel
Thiago Hatty boom.
bundeena bunnies
Sensational stuff
Reg83
I have seen one of his games and not been impressed at all. Felt he relies just on penalties. Out of nowhere he scores a hattrick away from home vs a supposedly solid defence. Couldn’t make it up.. oh well, cant help it.
Raziel
Yeah, the game has been like that for a while now. His numbers (xG) were looking poor last few games. Just like Mateta fell off out of nowhere. Not many players seem to be consistent, especially strikers. Anyway, Thiago dropped 0.2m in price past week, so you haven’t been the only one dropping him. Honestly, makes it more satisfying if he does score.
As for the game. I’m quite frustrated by a lot of it. But I think the amount of games are just too much for many players and teams. They can’t keep up the performance. So it’s hard to see who we should get.
You reckon Ekitike will be back next game?
Reg83
Not sure. Either way its arsenal away. Apart from the burnley game after that, fixtures don’t look great either. If only slot would have told this before the deadline.. not gonna knee jerk and get thiago back. His fixtures dont look great either medium term. Who would u even sell him for? I am not sure who to sell him for
SAFs_hairdryer
I think it’s Ekitike to a cheap striker to use the cash elsewhere. I’m considering DCL or even Mane of Wolves. I want to get Palmer when he starts firing and Bruno when he’s back
Shrivathsa
One option is to move Ekitike out for Watkins
Reg83
Dont know why we bother getting attacking midfielders. Just need to put Rice, bruno G, Reijnders possibly with caicedo and casemiro for their goals and defcons.
Raziel
True, they just need more attacking returns to make up for it. In the past KdB was a no brainer. A fit Palmer should also be interesting.
Reg83
If palmer plays 80 mins or so, should indicate he is fit atleast. Would u do trossard and ekitike to palmer and dcl for free? Chelsea have excellent fixtures going fwd
SAFs_hairdryer
Yes
