Aguero early favourite for Gameweek 7 captaincy debate but differentials appeal

Alonso the better option in my option. Better chance of attacking returns and at home.

Never bench a premium defender. Play both.

What would you do if you had/have both and the rest of your defence is doherty, smalling and wan-b (for example

I'm benching Trent and playing Alonso, personally.

I'm benching Robbo probably but that's because I have Alisson and don't want double exposure to conceding goals.

The word “Premium” in “Premium Defender” is there for a reason. Play them.

I will bench probably Robbo as he is playing away from home

C. Only consider A if you want to make some big changes in your side.

C

B

Always play a premium defender

I'd go A since he could easily get attacking returns even if no CS. Plus I think Southampton will score

No, Rich far more potent .

Doing the same. Just feels right.

What makes it sideways, because they are both Evertonians? Means nothing.. Richarlison is younger, better stats and more polish. He has 2 MOTM displays in 3 matches he completed. Trade away

No it's a massive upgrade. Walcott
Is sh!t.

Thank you guys

I'm considering doing it over 2 game weeks. This week mane for rich, next week Walcott to hazard. Having said that Walcott does look rubbish but he is up against a Fulham defence....

No, not at all.

Im considering Mane for him, £11m is a bit too high I think.

Depends if you're chasing or not. If not, maintain status quo

I think Sterling is a good long-term differential. In form at the moment.

"Salah and Zaha to Kane and Rich. Leaves me enough to do Mane to Haz the week after"

I like this move.

Depends on the rest of your team. Duffy isn't the best 4.5m available in my opinion. I think Sterling is a decent shout for Brighton but not so confident in him against Pool the following week

I'd leave Vardy this week. Wilson has a good fixture. Newcastle is not Vardy's strongest type of fixture.

I would genuinely just do the first two transfers for free. Leave cash for big moves next week

Looks great, just make sure you're not tempted to spend that money.

Looks solid.

I don't think the next 2 games are hard for Salah and Liverpool personally. Their red fixtures are blue.

I have looked at doing something like this.

Who are you looking to sell for Salah for GW9?

So who do you sell to get salah with that 3.8? Has to be hazard. Why not just get salah now and not plan a double transfer only two weeks away

I'd be very nervous to go without 1 Liverpool attacker. I'm on WC too but keeping Salah and shifting out Mane for Hazard.

Play Maddison over Robertson

Wouldn't bench either of them myself.

System so broken. BAPS always go to full backs in low scoring games even though they would not be considered anywhere near best on pitch with eye test. E.g robbo, awb

Tactical advantage for their opponents not to know.

Will probably be in the squad this weekend

Must be a tactical strategy to keep opponents guessing. I can imagine not knowing which players or formation could be lining up causes problems during preparation for a City match.

I just sold him. I have a feeling ya not just an injury...

What's their most important game? Liverpool in 2 weeks.. Will he stay down till then?

Something not right about the whole situation like

I shipped

I'd be looking at getting Maddison/Richarlison/Fraser.

He isn't a doubt

Depends on line up tonight but if DSilva plays and BSilva rested definitely keeping!

Spurs have better fixtures but will Trippier get rotated?

Only casuals would get Trippier. Rotation risk.

"The threat of Serge Aurier (£5.8m) starting in his stead on any given week remains too off-putting for some, however, particularly in a season where rotation is wreaking havoc elsewhere. That Trippier looked unconvincing from a defensive point of view against Brighton is also a slight concern, with Aurier (Inter’s winning goal apart) putting in a decent shift in Milan last week.

Fantasy bosses need only look to the opposite flank for discouragement, where Ben Davies (£5.7m) and Danny Rose (£5.9m) have started three matches apiece in the league this season."

I went for Laporte but only because I need the £ to potentially fund richarlison

I think if Rose starts midweek, he will be favoured for the Barca tie and Davies will play both league games around this

As long as your bench can cover the odd rotation then go trippier.. Surely Laporte May get a rest sooner rather than later?

Laporte. Placeholder for Mendys return.

Doherty and Laporte are both great options. Trippier is fine if you think he's nailed on and don't need £ elsewhere

Laporte til Mendy’s back

A little bit, yeah.

Everton are just a little unconvincing, but i think 60 minute cameo from Aguero could be devastating

Too much potential goalscorers at City....i’m going (C)ane!

It's just you

Use logic here.. pretty self explanatory

Would Bench AWB

Bench Bennett, Southampton will grab one

D
A

B, D, C, A

I have Salah out for 2 weeks and then will bring back. If you are looking permanently I would say no but temp move yes unless already own Salah so have Liverpool cover.

I wouldn't do it personally. I understand the temptation with the fixtures but just feels like it could just as easily back fire as pay off

Minus 8 is too much, I have a similar idea but didn’t take a hit. If you do it you must Captain Kane.

Horrendous moves

Stopped reading at "worth -8". Answer is no, -8's are for desperate times or silly people.

-8? Not for me.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I do find this forum a bit risk averse though, surely if more points can be made from taking hits then you're better off in the long run? +1 goal for Kane over Salah this weekend will pay for the hit if I captain him (I will if I go ahead with it), then Kane v cardiff instead of Salah v MCI will surely give better chance of points, and moving forwards Knockaert over Kamara is a no brainer.

I know in an ideal world these transfers would be done one per week, but at certain times that's not a luxury people have.

Or do you guys think that it's realistic that Salah can match Kane in the next two GW's?

I assume it’s for your last spot on your bench, that case I’d go as cheap as possible

Doherty at home is a good clean sheet potential, I’d save

Keep, Doherty and Wolves are decent and Mendy could be back soon. If injury news comes out that it is worse than bruising then pull the trigger.

Why also is Mendy an option when he is clearly Red flagged?!?

Yeah, I'll back that. Kanté has 19.7% ownership but you wouldn't cap him with Sterling on your team.

Yes, agreed. The current wordings will be ridiculous in GW 8, where Hazard will be the top choice ahead of Kane, which surely does not reflect the true situation.

I do actually agree with this, however, it seemed most people just picked who they were making captain in the old polls despite the wording of the question and lots of people actually wanted to know who the most popular choice was that people were actually picking.

Try darknet. That's where I go for stuff that ain't on Google.

I wouldn't have thought so, no.

Yeah, he’s their captain and will start every game.

should i get in Bennett for a -4 ? Rest of defence - Robbo, Alonso, AWB, Mendy

Good luck.

i'm very tempted by this too

B

These are choices that make or break your season. Sensible thinking mate. Kane could easy explode in those fixtures why Kun has a barren spell.
