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.

Ings and Mane, Jimenez and Mane or Rashford and Alli?
Just checked Jimenez’s stats, way more impressive: 3.3 shots per game and 1.8 key passes versus Ings 2.1 spg and 0.8 key passes. >.<
Jim and Mane
+1
What to do with this team? I want to have both Mane and Salah… or is that overdose? Means I have to sell Rash to Ings and do Alli to Mane. Also means I’ll be playing 3-5-2 a lot. There is a way to also go the Jimenez route but that means I also have to downgrade a defender like the one from Leicester.
Waiting for the day someone answers on my team. It’s not Christmas anymore so I don’t expect miracles. :big-lol:
Waiting for the day you give someone a chance to without answering them all yourself already :rofl:
You don’t know half of it. This is too all the messages I didn’t sent…. :excited:
Too = to … late … nevermind… Should sleep. I”ll decide tomorrow. ^^
After the deadline no doubt :rofl:
Not 100% sure about this but gone for it anyway!
Yeah man, it’s hard. I keep getting those cappo choices wrong. Still ended up with 80 points… but it haunts me.
Just done a -4 to transfer out son and cahill (both on red flags) for Kdb and cathcart (all I could afford for £4.3m).
Gazzanigga
Evans, virgil, cathcart
Doucoure, zaha, mane, kdb
Jiminez, rashford, vardy
McGovern, grealish, soyuncu, lundstram.
Correct starting 11?
Correct bench and bench order?
Who to captain?

Hard one. I feel someone big might be rested and thus a cappo choice….
Hi all (if any is still awake :blink: )
This lot GTG?
Maybe I should go to bed myself, that was terribly written…
I would play Jim ahead of Gomez.
+1
Hi gear,
I have the same dilemma as to play or bench jimenez; decide to play.
I think Southampton will score so bench Kelly and play Jimenez.
