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.

Havertz lives to see another day! Too bad he doesn’t play today, will likely drop tonight
Whoever has Guendouzi deserved it :big-lol:
Hello everyone.
Play 1: Have McCarthy at goal
A. KWP
B. Lamptey
Think both will concede tbh but think I’d probably play Lamptey rather than a double up on Saints who haven’t had a great start
B
Morning people!
Any last minute tinkering you’d recommend?….on a WC (I know …I know) so trying to iron out all the creases before deadline! Main thoughts are….
– Dallas or Ayling
– Should I get Lamptey in place of someone else
– Drop keeper time a 4.5 to fund Hendrick to Podence?
– Werner/Martial + 1 or Jimenez/Wilson/DCL and some change?
Good luck everyone!
Pickford/Hendrick to Martinez/Podence? ….feel like that move should be done in 2-3 weeks but should I do while on WC?
I think that team looks good as it is. Go with it and assess after this GW.
Yeah I think I would do it now
Ayling seemed more advanced v Liverpool.
I just dont like Pickford there – I get it – but I still dont. Guaita has a couple of tough fixtures but a lot of nice ones. Doesnt give you Podence – Matt Ryan does – Martinez does also?
Prob would say Lamptey over KWP given how shite Saints have start.
Werner/Martial I’d say. Wilson has started well – but he was poor last season – cant have them all and you have gone big in midfield. Interesting what a non TAA team can look like.
Only keep Brewster if you are confident he moves as ties up a Liverpool player
Solid score for your lot. You have a plan and stick to it. Sow and steady in the same direction, as expected. Cheers and good luck this GW!
PS – What’s your plan for getting Bale in? :cool2:
Depends how much he is. Not sure how long before he’s fit. I’m potentially interested
Prob a “wait and see” job for me
As a straight shoot out, City or United mid for Auba after the deadline today? Don’t have any others from their teams.
Leaning towards Sterling.
Prob KDB as he must be on pens. Be interesting to see Bruno tonight
Shared them around in Agüero’s absence last year (it’s just Sterling kept missing them! :D)
It will – feels less risky taking Fernandes knowing he’s got through the GW fine.
Yeah I think he will be on them. Surely not Sterling
You wouldn’t have thought so!
Depends
I got in KDB this week – unless something weird happens, he shud be a season keeper.
Is Fernandes gets a goal and assist though this weekend…. he looked very leggy at end of season and is not training long
Cheers, mate. Agree with you there, although ultimately I think KDB, Sterling, Fernandes and Salah (and Auba!) are all season keepers!
Its 100m though not 120
Exactly! Got to make compromises somewhere
Squad looks poor already and its only gw2…
Saliba – enough said
Stephens – thought I was playing it safe
Other 2 n bench were irrelevant
Anyone worth a -4?
I’d be happy with your starting eleven so just leave it. Not worth a – 4. Saliba will make his way into the side, you’d have thought.
Not sure AT. He lined out for the u23’s during the week
