Ashley does Dallas…
We’ve had indifferent game-week’s, we’ve had bad game-week’s and then we’ve had this game-week. A thought probably shared by a good many. We began with the faint hope of having a solid 11 plus a possible sub, and ended up with 9. A thought probably shared by a good many. We began with a seemingly solid captain choice, he came home with 4 points, we didn’t even answer the door. A thought probably shared by a good many.
We did manage to cobble together a hat-trick of sorts, we got a full set; a clean sheet, an assist and a goal. That’d be news if it was from one player, unfortunately it wasn’t, it was between the whole sorry lot of them. Well, the ones who actually bothered to play anyway.
We won’t bore you with the details of the other 6, their lack of contributions are evident on the pic below. In total we got 34 points, and a second consecutive red arrow which dumped us down to 34,980th. It’s not ideal but at the same time it’s hardly a crisis. With all the chips in hand we are still confident of a good finish.
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS; TUESDAY 18:45
This week’s transfer decision…
This week we had 1 FT and £2.7m in the bank, aka the Kun fund….
Some combo of Kun going for 120 minutes at the weekend, and Pep being known for rotation, and Auba getting a rest has actually led us to shelve the Kun plan for a bit. It’s not that we are completely risk averse but we do tend to favour playing the odds a bit. And it’s not as if Auba doesn’t have a very decent looking game in front of him.
As a result our attention turned elsewhere and ultimately to finally replacing Wilson. And ironically it won’t be with Rashford, which was always the intention if we could ever catch an opportunity to do so, having not been in a position to previously after an unfortunate overload on Man United assets. Some things are just never meant to be. Not wanting to use much of our bank, and with a firm eye on BGW’s 31 and 33 we narrowed down our choices to Rondon (Newcastle) and Barnes (Burnley). The brackets are important there as there was some internal confusion over the identity of the latter, which had us at some point buying Cliff Barnes (one for the teenagers), John Barnes and Harvey Barnes. And Cliff Richard, don’t ask….
We couldn’t really split them in all honesty, their fixtures are equally reasonable, as is the form of both them and their respective teams. Both have a game in 31 and both may have a game in 33. Rondon is the ‘may’ bit of that though as Newcastle’s involvement there depends on the FA Cup results. And so, scratching around for any small reason to pick one over the other, we decided to go with Barnes, almost on a technicality.
Our Captain is Salah, our Vice is Auba
This was a tough one and it went to the wire. We have two really strong candidates in Mo and Auba. Both got two votes each with the other being on the reverse vice side of each one. The deciding vote went with Salah, again with Auba as vice, it really was that close.
Our team in full…
And lastly, don’t forget that this weeks deadline;
DON’T FORGET THE DEADLINE IS ON TUESDAY 18:45

Final bit of tinkering.
Good to go or should I play Anderson over 1 of the defenders?
I’d play him instead of Lascelles (or Bennett)
Evening all.
Unsure what to do here ?
2ft 0.1 in the bank.
Could do Rashford to Barnes but would lose quite a bit of money on him.
May as well go for it I reckon.
Would lose 0.4 init
Tough one, I wouldn’t want to change much of that team. Can you upgrade your keeper?
Can only get 4.6 for keeper if I sale foster
I’ve lost 0.5 from doing the same transfer. Points over TV almost always applies, but especially so during these latter stages of the season, so don’t worry about it.
That said, with cover in the form of Bednarek, it might not be necessary. Not yet…
Rashford to Rondon or Hazard to Sterling?
Cheers
I’d be wary about Sterling, this one feels like one in which he may actually get a rest.
I’m trying to get City coverage in. The Rondon move is with GW 31 in mind.
Anyone think Lacazette might get benched? Safe option to captain Salah?
It’d be daft to bench him given his rest on Thurs last week and Arsenal play much better with him but managers do mysterious things.
I was unsure about it to the point that I sold him!
Who did you buy Init?
I sold Rashford earlier and couldn’t decide between Rondon and Barnes. So I bought Vardy!
Ditto, Cookie
Kun.
I do think that Laca will start again (it’d be criminal to ruin his chances of scoring a 5th consecutive home goal) but would still captain Salah.
I think he starts with Auba on the left
Thanks lads. I will probably go for Salah. Think Arsenal could score a handful against BOU though.
I’ve kept him.
Now I have Salah+Kun+Laca.
Wish I had Kun! Lacazette is very tempting to captain but I’m getting cold feet now.
Evening All!
Not sure what to do with this lot. 1FT and 4m ITB. Any advice? Thanks!
JMD,
Rashford to Kun affordable?
Thanks Cookie but I’m 0.1 short!
JMD,
damn that’s annoying. Maybe hold then and let Digne come off the bench and look to work Hazard in next week?
Right it’s done. Now Aguero or Salah as captain?
I’ve gone Kun, Smash.
Salah here…
Back on Salah
