Rate My Team surgery with five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman

Would you do:

A) Solanke > Darwin
B) Estupinan or Schar > Gvardiol or Doughty
C) Saka or Foden > Jota
D) Roll FT

I don’t fully buy the Jota hype myself but don’t want to fall behind without him. Decisions decisions…

This is my team for the week.I've already taken a -4 hit!

I also. stupidly used my WC a few weeks back 🙁

Dubravka
Cash Gusto Porro
Saka Jota Richarlison De Bruyne
Darwin Haaland Alvarez

thinking of doing Gordan & Watkins > Jota & Nunez -4

gives me the Burnley fixture and the doubles, before I wildcard out in the coming weeks and maybe bring Watkins back in.

what do you think?

uh literally just sold Solanke last night ahead of Joao Pedro who now has a hamstring! well annoying as he was a big part of my plan for 25, 26 blank. Always wait til team news even if there is going to be a 0.1 price drop!

Bench one pls:
A - Son (BRI)
B - palmer (cry)
C - watkins (MUN)
D - Solanke (ful)
Thank you

Areola
TAA Porro Saliba
Saka Palmer Foden Gross
Haaland Watkins Solanke

Turner Gordon Colwill Taylor

2 FTs, 2.3itb

a) Saka -> KDB (save FT)
b) Colwill, Saka -> Walker, Jota (bench Saliba)
c) Saka -> Jota (save FT)

2FT and 4,9M ITB. Ship out Turner for which GK? Or any other suggestions, don’t wanna burn a transfer..

Areola Turner
Porro Walker Gabriel Senesi Taylor
Saka Foden Palmer Jota Richarlison
Haaland Watkins Archer

Much appreciated!

I've been thinking about playing Areola over Dubravka a few times this week. Is that crazy?

I don't have any Arsenal players.

1ft 0.0 itb, no Lpool in the team. What would you do?

A. -4 for Bowen to Jota with a downgrade somewhere else (who else should go?)

B. Roll and do next week for free

Leno
Porro Gab Trip
KDB Foden Rich Palmer
Haaland Watkins Solanke

Turner Bowen Branthwaite Taylor

Dubravka
Porro/Saliba/Estupinan
Jota/Richarlison/Saka/Foden/Palmer
Watkins/Solanke

Areola/Branthwaite/Taylor/Archer

Thinking solanke to Haaland & roll other transfer?

selling solanke coz i'm not sure who to bench

14.2 ITB 2 FT

Thoughts?

Haaland non-owners, will you buy him tonight?

A) yes because he will rise in price
B) no, wait for tomorrow's leaks

Pedro news has confused things.
Which do you prefer? All for a hit.
A) Porro, Gordon to Doughty, Jota
B) Gordon, Pedro to Garnacho, Darwin
C) Gordon, Watkins to Jota, Darwin
D) Porro, Pedro to Doughty, Darwin

Guys. 2ft 3.1m itb.

A)solanke to darwin free bench gordon, need him for 26
B) gordon to jota free bench solanke
C) solanke gordon to darwin jota free and bench palmer.

Who to bench


(a) Solanke
(b) Watkins

Playing KDB, Foden, Palmer, Haaland, Richarlison, Saka

Palmer -> Jota or roll?

In free transfers I could get salah in for the double gameweek if I have Morris and adebayo upfront with haaland...is that a bit TOO much Luton? 2 double gameweeks in 4.

Who to bench?

A) Walker(EVE)
B) Porro(BRI)

Thoughts on Neto? Wolves look very dangerous this year and fixtures look decent

0 FT and 1.9 IB - GTG or anything worth a hit?

Dubravka
Estu Porro Gabriel
Saka Palmer Foden KDB
Watkins Solanke Haaland

Aerola Tavernier Bell Andersen

Would like Jota but cannot get for -4 without sacrificing Saka!

Is going Liverpool too risky now regarding today's news?

Which transfer:

A) Saka, Gross & Solanke to Jota, Garnacho & Haaland
Or,

B) Porro, Gross & Solanke to Doughty, Garnancho & Haaland

(I can do Saka to Jota next game week).

Dubravka
Estupunian - Trent - Porro
Foden - KDB - Gross - Palmer
Watkins - Darwin - Solanke

Areola - Saka - Livramento - Taylor

Garnacho or Barkley in for the foreseeable? & why?

1FT, 6.4m ITB.

doing Solanke to Haaland, but needs to be funded by Gordon downgrade.

Dubravka (areola)
Trent Porro Saliba (estupinan branthwaite)
KDB Foden Saka Palmer Gordon*
Watkins Solanke (archer)

I like Garnacho better as an option but Barkley has two DGWs... although the first one isn't great fixture-wise

Raya
Gusto, Doughty, Porro
KDB, Saka, Rich, Palmer, Gordon*
Haaland, Watkins
(Areola, Solanke, Saliba, Estu)

2 Ft’s, 2.5m ITB.
What would be the better route?
A) Solanke > Cunha (roll 1 ft, 2 transfers next gwk to get Salah)
B) Solanke & Gordon > Cunha & Watkins.

Cheers guys!

People seem to lose all rationale thinking at this stage of the season when doubles and blanks arrive. Taking hits to bring in a DGW player when the extra points you can reasonably expect to gain from having 1 extra game is wiped away by the hit and then to realise you don't want the player in your team after it. Obsessing over blank gameweeks that are several weeks away and avoiding transferring in a player with great points potential over the next 3-4 fixtures just because he has a blank week in like 6 weeks time, It's crazy.

Would you roll here or get Gvardiol in for Colwill and play him over Porro or Gabriel?

1 FT 0.4 ITB

Dubravka
Porro TAA Gabriel
Foden Palmer Saka Jota
Darwin Watkins Haaland

Areola Gordon Colwill Lascelles

What move do people prefer here? Already have EBH, Foden, Trent & Jota from the doublers.

A) Solanke > Darwin (start Bowen)
B) Solanke/Bowen > Cunha/KDB (-4)

Start 2:
Porro,
Kilman,
Gross,

Double Pool defence good or bad idea?

Who would you prioritize from pool? Jota or Darwin?

Here is my team:

Areola/Leno
TAA/Saliba/Estu/Porro/Kabore
Palmer/Gordon/Foden/Richa/Saka
Watkins/Solanke/alvarez

I have 2Fts

I can't afford Alvarez+Solanke --> Haaland+Darwin (0.2 short)

What can I do?

I'm thinking about selling TAA-->Walker (-4) or if I hear Alvarez starts just do Solanke-->D
