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

Hey guys.. 1 FT and 0.1m ITB. WC is already exhausted. What should i do? Thinking of saving the FT.
You could definitely save mate.
Hi all
I’ve seen a lot of people opting not to put Aguero in, have I missed something? Is it because of Jesus being fit?
Cheers
He played 120 in Carabao and started against Hammers. Fatigue could be yhe reason and probable rotation.
Yep. Jesus is fit again so the option is now there for Pep to rest him.
Nice move, site team. I’ve personally been scared away from Hazard by fans suggesting he’s too tired and should be rested. I guess his early withdrawal on Wed might have been enough! Not sure it’s worth a hit this week
Would not do it for a hit. The optimist in me is hoping for a revived Fulham.
You worry far too much about what might happen AT my boy!
Anyone got any suggestions on this team? I’m thinking of just rolling the FT.
1 FT £2.8
Yep. Team looks great and setting up nicely for 31 by the look of it.
+1
Morning all! At present I have 6 players for 31. Is it worth doing the same move as the site team and switching Son to Hazard? I have 1FT with 2.2 itb.
I would if you can afford. That said I reckon super Scotty Parker is going to get a shift out of the lads so don’t be too gutted if it backfires!
Arsenal are a tad leaky so I’d be inclined to keep Son. On paper that’s a good game for Spurs.
Your attack has a nice ‘home game’ feel about it. Kun as captain has its risks, with Pogba and Salah arguably more nailed picks this weekend.
Nooooo….I want all of Kane, his Son and other brothers to blank.
Morning all
Is everyone ready? Capo set?
This is my lot for GW29, good to go?
Could this be a week that a good captain choice will make a difference in some MLS? I’m on Sterling but am tempted to go with pogba.
Think you are mate. Hopefully Lacazette can start for us both this week.
I’m on Pogba at the moment. No stand out option if you haven’t got a Chelsea attacker (and even then I don’t know if I’d captain one!)
Yeah there seems to be a lot Chelsea players being brought in.
Pancho wants to bring in hazard in our doubles team.
Yes looks fine. The captain choice – I’m on the same, was tempted by Pogba but greed has led me to Sterling – is down to luck. Some weeks it works out, others it crashes.
@Kralin, how are you doing this season?
Hello Goal Machine. Evenings are the best time to catch me, generally.
12k at the moment, have fallen back the last couple of weeks due to the Auba and Salah captaincy debacles. I was drifting around the 40 – 50k mark for weeks but had a couple of lucky breaks.
Hope you’re doing ok and have a good GW.
Will link the side next year.
Fingers crossed sterling does the job this GW
Yip, best of luck Mitro :ok:
Cheers GP, who’s your capo?
I’d go Sterling if i have him.
My prediction is that Aguero will be rested (as he often is away) and Sane/Sterling will run riot (as they often do when Aguero doesn’t play).
4-1 win for Man City
