No Kun do…
When the week begins with the ever consistent Jimenez blanking against bottom club Huddersfield and then Doherty conceding a clean sheet in the dying minutes you could be forgiven for thinking it would be another one of those weeks. The truth is, it very nearly was. It took another attacking full back to pull us back from the brink really, as TAA weighed in with an unusual hat-trick of assists, a clean sheet and full bonus points for an unexpected haul of 18. Just as well really as the rest of them were a bit lacklustre. Digne got us a clean sheet, spoiled by an inevitable yellow, idiot that he is. Shaw and Pogba both chipped in with assists and Aubameyang got us a goal but it wasn’t quite the haul we were hoping for, especially when Liverpool score five at home and your captain is Salah…
All in all it netted us a reasonably respectable 55. Albeit just 2 pints above the average. It did however mean a small drop in overall rank of just over 1k places and we now sit at 36,274th.
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS; SATURDAY @ 11:30
This week’s transfer decision…
This week we had 1 FT and £3.4m in the bank, aka the Kun fund…
We’ve had a chequered history with Kun this season, most of it being black. With Pep usually only talking on a Friday and with us usually having to make a transfer decision on a Thursday we are often left scratching around in the dark in regards to whether to sell him, buy him or indeed captain him. The truth is that had we done this article on Thursday we may well have been edging very closely to buying him again. The fact that fate pushed us back a day meant that we had full sight of the pressers and in particular Pep’s revelation that Jesus has risen again. Coupled with Pep’s midweek comments about Kun being exhausted we have decided to swerve our original plan. Onto plan B. Or C…
Plan B was always to simply hold the transfer, and an eminently sensible one it would have been too. Until someone popped up with a whole more exciting and aggressive Plan C. Which was to chase the Fulham spiral, namely with Hazard. The fact that he also adds an extra body to our BGW31 team, along with a potential (very favourably fixtured) one for DGW32 helped pushed this over the line. The big downside was that we were £0.2m short of Anderson being the fall guy, and unfortunately Son has had to leave instead. We are sure we shall meet again though, some sonny day….
To confirm then; we have BOUGHT HAZARD & SOLD SON
Our Captain is Hazard, our Vice is Pogba
Hazard went full circle from not only not being in our team, or indeed not even being a faint consideration to be, to getting a full house of captaincy votes, all within about 30 minutes. Don’t ever say we don’t do things by halves!
Our team in full…
Planning Ahead…
We feel compelled to keep touching on this given the questions on the site about it. The truth though is that we still don’t have a definitive plan, and we may not do so until the remaining DGW32 fixtures are announced, which won’t be until after GW31, which is a bit of a Catch 22 situation in itself. We did ask for some serious planning suggestions from the committee though and we got 3 different plans back;
1. WC30, FH31, TC32, GW33 (use to 2fts to field 6/7), GW34 (save ft or switch to double players), BB35 (4/5 won’t have a double but 3 of those will be Liverpool).
2. Build for 31, FH32, WC34, BB35, TC ON A SINGLE.
3. Build for 31, WC32, FH33, BB35, TC ON A SINGLE.
All of which have their own positives and negatives, all of which probably leave us looking short for either BGW31 or BGW33. The fact that there were three laid out on the table as preferences probably tells you all you need to know in terms of there not being a correct answer at this stage.
Out of interest this is how our team looks in relation to the (admittedly finger in the air) Fixture Tracker;
All we can do really is keep an eye on it

Guys am I good to go here.
Yep, you look good to go. Big call on Hazard captain with his form, but can understand why.
Thanks Swirly. I need a differential big time, just hope it doesn’t backfire.
Guys, advice pls.
Have Patricio and Steele as my 2 keepers and 0.0 ITB. Which keeper do I bring in? Have 1 FT and probably using FH in GW32.
As of now, can’t work out anyone else apart from Boruc. If that’s the only choice I’m left with, hope he is nailed on to start?
How about Fabianski?
Have nothing in bank, so short by 0.2
Ah, sorry, I thought they were the same price. Tricky one!
Boruc may score the same against Man City as a non-starting keeper to be fair! However, looking at the options who are £4.5m or less and then who plays in GW31, I think it may have to be a case of pressing ahead and hoping for save points.
Swirly, but I should get boruc right? Expecting maybe one cs in 30-31. If even that is doubtful, then maybe Ryan?
I’ll be getting Boruc next gameweek, if it helps, I’m just lucky that I’ve got a relatively good fixture for my keeper with a sub keeper that also plays too.
Guaita for a couple?
Worth a -4 GP for switching the keeper later?
Wait. Isn’t this a FT?
I think he means taking a -4 later on in the weeks to change the keeper again. To which I would say there’s no point.
That’s right swirly. Guaita and Ryan both blank in 31. So will have to take take a -4 later to field a kpr in 31
I see.
Agree with Swirly, unlikely to be worth it.
Has to be Boruc.
Not great but this week but covers you for GW31 & GW33 (you currently don’t have a keeper for either)
*for this week
Other option is to take a hit elsewhere to fund Heaton/Fabianski.
Depends if you have any other issues worth sorting out.
Thanks Swirly and GP.
EBC, did not find it worth a hit for the keeper situation. Wolves with 2 decent games in Hud last week and Cardiff now, and it absolutely failed to have 2 at the back.
Sensible Sid. Good luck.
Who do I start;
Dunk (H) v Huddersfield
Townsend (A) v Burnley
Currently have the (C) on Pogba an (VC) on Higuain but my other choices are;
Salah
Mane
Vardy
Any views?
Thanks
Start Dunk for sure
That’s was my thought but always get a few saying always go with the attacker!
Dunk to play and Pogba to captain is what I’d do.
That’s what I’ve done thanks. Can relax now and hope for a good gw
Best of luck!
Right now I have Jimenez as captain but I don’t feel all confident about it. Other options are Salah, Pogba and aguero. But form or risk of rotation has me in doubt…
Who’s your captain, and why?
I wouldn’t captain Jiminez or Aguero as they’re both rotation risks for this gameweek. I’d play it safe and put it on Pogba (which is also what I’m doing) as it’s a tasty fixture at home to Southampton.
Didn’t see Jimenez as a rotation risk until now…
And so little time left to decide!
Sterling (due game time and big points haul, I hope!). Son had to make way. I also have Salah, Auba and Jimenez.
Only got 5 players who’ll play in GW31 so far, so it’s proving tricky to get the right balance until then.
Know it’s been in for a while but I really like the ‘My recent comments’ function.
Great addition to the forum.
I’ve found it really handy, great feature, especially when it’s busy. Definitely worth reminding people it’s there too.
Thank god for the FFF 😉
Would you believe I didnt know this – says a lot about my observation skills
Guys. This is my team. Got 1ft. Unsure if I should use. Any ideas? Pogba cappo?
Can probably hold to make 2-3 moves next week.
I did aguero and son to vardy and hazard as id 2fts this week but dont think either is essential for this week.
If you’ve got a bit of money in the bank, you could always see to doing Son to Hazard. Or Pedro / Maddison if you don’t? Otherwise, if the Wolves players do get rotated as rumours suggest, you’ve got both covered with other players on your bench anyway.
