DODGED A BULLET
All that tinkering and furore ahead of GW1 and we didn’t even select the most obvious player. But we had our reasons and we felt justified, although watching Salah open up with a hat-trick was a tad galling for us and no doubt all of the other non-owners out there. In retrospect we probably got away with it better than most as we scored 59pts vs an average of 50. Captain Aubameyang opened up with a rare goal on his travels and 7pts (doubled) is acceptable and far from a failure. Mitrović on the other hand was a complete shocker as he couldn’t even claim a start and got just 27mins off the bench.
Our secret weapon Tyrick Mitchell was a definite win though as he bagged a clean sheet vs Saints, while Van Dijk at least combined his comical defending with a goal. We won’t mention TAA. Or Havertz. Or Saint Maximim. We were chuffed with the selections of Vardy and Wilson who delivered 21pts between them and look good assets for the foreseeable. Well for this weekend at least.
Ranks mean nothing at this stage, but for the record we go into GW2 with a position of 1,737,686.
Our GW1 result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW2 transfer(s)
None! We decided that we were so happy with not having Salah the first week that we would do it again. Fool me once shame on thee; fool me twice, delete the team. Funny thing is, Salah didn’t even come up, no one seemed too worried about not having him. It was one of the fastest votes ever. I mean there was one committee member that suggested we wildcard, but that was quickly dismissed by (all) the others rather emphatically.
Sorry, back to the team now, hate you had to see that. The idea with having Bruno from the go was so we could possibly save a transfer this GW and get a little more time to evaluate players before we start bringing them in. So in the end this is us just sticking to our guns and seeing this mini plan through. Well, seeing that we have made no transfers, let’s just get to the captaincy decision.
Captain – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Unanimous again, what is going on? One right after the other voted to give Auba another go at the armband. In part, because he plays West Ham who as a club will probably be too busy fighting each other to worry about marking Auba. If for some reason Auba doesn’t make his match we have the penalty king Bruno Fernandes waiting in the wings as our vice captain.

Nothing much to report but report we do. Other than one of us is a Nun, apparently :rabbi:
Can’t decide who to start between kwp home to spurs or Taylor away to Leicester. Leaning towards kwp as I have vardy
KWP probably.
I keep saying this but Silvers is socially drinking him(her?)self to a standstill so just join in, make your choice with a wild drunken cheers and then when you come round hopefully the deadline will have passed and you’ll have made the right choice.
KWP for me
KWP, home game plus Spurs played midweek away in Bulgaria.

Sound decision by the site team.

Anyone heard the news that Diogo Jota is confirmed signing for Liverpool?
Yeah, I saw this, so it’s probably a matter of time before they announce it.
Better deal for Wolves if you ask me.

Nice going site team, brave w/o Salah! I hope he hauls big time :laugh2:
What to do with the chelskis?
Havertz -> Mahrez?
Werner -> Jesus?
Both? Other?
Looks like atleast Havertz might drop in price
This.
You can’t sell Werner, he looked great. Havertz less so. Money ITB determines whether you go up or down on him if he goes. Neither of your City options entice me though.
Do you want to consider a swap of Werner and Havertz for Bruno and Wilson?
why sell Werner? Keep him until he shows real dip in form or injury
Cheers guys, I held my moves and was rewarded by an outstanding absence of price drops (ok ok, I fell asleep).
Think I might hold the ft now actually… :scratch_one-s_head:
Would anyone recommend doing Vinagre out for Coleman for a hit?
I’ve got Mitchell as my only choice to play instead of Vinagre, and he faces United. I know Coleman isn’t the same player, but Everton got good fixtures and Coleman looked good. And I’ve got only 5m for a replacement for Vinagre. Plays West Brom, so I feel I might end up covering the hit.
Similar dilemma with the difference being I only have 4.5M for Vinagre’s replacement, so it’s even tougher for me haha
If I had the money for Coleman, I’d do that move.
Yeah , I would’ve waited out the move, but Vinagre is dropping in price tonight as well so that would suck extra.
Purely speaking on eyetest, Lamptey looked good if you wanted to replace Vinagre
Yeah, that’s the trouble…I usually don’t even think about taking a hit for a defender but there is literally no one to buy at 4.4M (as I already have Mitchell as well).
Lamptey looked really good, I just steer away from Brighton if it’s not for a 4M def.
Thinking of Justin/Ayling/Taylor…can you decide for me, so I can go to bed already haha
Justin has got good games, so probably him.
I’m not sure on Taylor’s game time, and Leeds defence needs monitoring imo
Cheers mate
