We need to talk about Kevin… again!
It’s amazing what a difference 1 solitary player can make to a GW. With 7 of our players, including our captain, gifting us just 21 points we were going into the Liverpool game staring down the barrel of yet another disappointing red arrow. Alexander-Arnold surpassed this on his own with an amazing 24, and Mane chipped in with an assist too. The outlier from all this was Alli who had earlier grabbed us a goal. For once our latest signing also did something as Grealish got us an assist too. In the late game Jimenez got us a goal and an assist leaving us on a total of 70 points for the week which meant a fair jump back up the ranks to some degree of acceptable decency; we gained about 50,000 places and now sit in approximately 60,000th according to some ‘outside of FPL sources’ (at the time of writing the actual official ranks are still updating, but you get the gist; we are in the green).
Going into GW20 we have 1 free transfer and £3.7m in the bank. Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW20 Transfer(s)
Some things just aren’t meant to be. On at least 3 separate occasions this season we have talked about / saved up money for bringing Kevin into our team but for whatever reason it’s just never happened. Well, make that 4! Last time out we stated our intention to buy him this week for Zaha but we were fully aware that we were leaving ourselves vulnerable as it was dead on the money. A -4 to secure it early was discussed but at that point it made little sense as it meant benching one of a seemingly strong front 8. We did however also agree that if we were scuppered then we would still be happy enough to proceed with Zaha away to the Saints and simply hope that it was a blessing in disguise and that Pep would rescue us with his rotational habits.
And sure enough a pesky overnight price change means that we are yet again left to talk about Kevin for another day.
To confirm then we have HELD our transfer
Captain – Sadio Mane
Not the easiest fixture on paper this week, but almost certainly the strongest team, and having seen Liverpool make Leicester look like Lincoln we are hoping Mane can make Wolves look like Wycombe.
For the record he got 3 votes, Vardy got 1 and Alli got mentioned along the way too, mainly as a vice.

Okay, 25 minutes to finish my wildcard team. Hehe.
Good luck :dance:
This one?
Very strong Raz.
+1
But I’m not sure neither Taylor, Holgate and longer term Kelly are completely nailed, may give a bit of a headache down the road
Hi Raz – is Holgate nailed? Not sure re Greenwood yet (gametime) which means Cantwell would need to play every game. Would an Alli/Grealish combo and lose one of Salah /Mane give more balance?
looks really good. Having both mane and salah is a huge advantage
Start Lundy or Guilbert? Bench order ok?
Both concede I think.
Lundstram could score
= Lundstram.
Looks good. What you think of my team?
I like it. Pool double up and Holgate could be a good move.
2FT, 5.6M ITB. Who should I ship? I think James will play today, so maybe Mount for KDB? Or something else?
Mount to Salah or Mane?
I can’t decide who to go for. They are so evenly matched in my eyes…I like Salah better but Mane looks more clinical this season. Can you decide for me, so I can blame it on you :laugh2:
I think Salah for this GW, but who knows… :scratch_one-s_head:
You’d like that wouldn’t you? 😎
Both are good and I’m looking for both soon enough. Got Mane already so maybe that’s your answer (who knows??)
Hi all, need to transfer out Jesus and would like some advice on getting either Ings or Jiminez. I already have Vardy and Tammy.
Ings probably more guaranteed to start this week. Jimi has been ticking over nicely tho. Flip a coin!
Jimenez
Maddy to Martial? Good call?
On recent form yes.
Long term probably not…
Nothing is too long term in fantasy. Form over fixtures, right?
Not for me.
Cheers. In the end I opted for Tammy out Rash in…
Good to go?
You don’t think KDB will be rested then…
Toss up between him and Ings for Captaincy…
Came off early so should be good to go
Also maybe put Canwell as 1st sub…
Cantwell as first sub and that’s grand.
