She will make herself known to a celebrity divorce lawyer! All you will be left with is Darwin Noonan-Shovelfoot!

I think you nailed it.

I'd probably change Taylor and either Palmer or Gordon into a Brighton midfielder.

You've got plenty in the bank.

Do you not want Alvarez at all?

I went B last week but if I could make the move now A

Konsa by some wide margin, on current data

A for sure Miguel.

prefer Pau but Konsa is good too

pep mind games

“You can believe me. I’m not really bald”.

that's fine if he wants to keep Milan guessing but we'll know by this evening.

maybe he doesn't know.

Not that AC Milan will be worrying about Martin Dubravka. Who's the next back up?

Bailey could be an option too, if he's passed fit

But I prefer Richarlison here

Rich of the options listed

I think Richarlison would be a good option going forward

Are you sure you want to sell ahead of home games against SHU and Burnley and a trip to the theatre of Mancunian nightmares?

Kind of agree with Nate that Dougie isn't necessarily a sell, and prefer him to all the other options except Richarlison. But if Richi is fit, confident & spearheading the Spurs attack, his ceiling is immense. Having being shown the bins once, surely he will desperate to impress you

No

I would also love to know this after bringing in Sanchez for Turner

"could miss" is an interpretation from Ben Dinnery on Pep's comment. Sounds like he's more likely to feature than not, it's not an injury that came last GW and not an injury that will keep him out for weeks.

I think it's quite straight forward that Pep expects to see Haaland reporting in after some rest back at the training complex on Thurs.

Hence he'll be back ...

Presumably after travelling home on Wed. night the rest of the squad will report in for light training later on or on Friday.

I was already in there a bit but I'm certainly now beginning to further entrench myself in the camp that aligns itself with those reports that appeared from a couple of places that Pep/City planned to use this last week as a rest period for Haaland given how many games he's started. Perhaps he does/did have an issue but the timing here feels a little bit too good for him to be able to return to training immediately after a dead rubber CL game abroad (and after an open training session)

Maybe a little context required. I get the joke though.

A for sure, pool will trash united and ten hag will get the sack

Salah

Still Salah because of the mess at Man U, including last night's injuries and Bruno's suspension

The only way out of a mauling is to park the bus, imo. I don't recall ten Hag doing that though

Salah for me

Salah has 11 career goals against Man United, gotta back him

Mo

Not a chance I veer away from Salah

B

B

I'd happily hold all three instead

Maybe another defensive transfer to cover Trippier's suspension, or other routes to Spurs' attack

A

Thank you for the replies everyone

I think leave Haaland and do 1 transfer - Maguire to Senesi/Colwill/Konsa, for example. Archer first sub.

Congratulations! You've pipped even my team in the number of defenders out contest!

In a similar position where I don't really want to sell my suspended players, but maybe Maguire is different since it looked like a muscular injury. Still, my thinking is Im not willing

I took a hit last week to get Porro in and it paid off, Porro & Gordon in for two players that didn’t play (though it was Mbeumo & Schar so moves with longer expiry dates), +3 after the hit. I think Porro is an exception to the rule at the moment.

with 7 or 8 players you could Free Hit I guess.

‘Content creator’ doesn’t exactly make you a good player. Half of them are clueless. They are like sheep.

It's still a cost of two transfers. Whether it turns out well or not doesn't change the cost

Your last paragraph is the point: spending two transfers to sell and buy back a player is costly because you'll probably want to spend those transfers elsewhere... Say, dumping an actually injured player or getting a playing GK, by selling players you don't plan to buy back

In a perfect world with much fewer flags than right now in the game, then the Haaland sell and buy-back clause makes sense especially if the replacement outscores him

But right now, it's pretty unlikely that you won't need those FTs/hits elsewhere. Maybe if you've still got your wildcard

I don't think anybody's saying it won't work. But first, Haaland has to be confirmed out before weighing this: will Solanke/Watkins/Darwin outscore your *first sub* of the next 2 GWs by 8 points (effectively two hits if any other flag arises)? That's the tricky part

Again, it can work. That's just the cost of it

I understand their narrative but using a transfer relates to more than 1 week and free or not, it has a downside of 4 points.
Content creators are out to make some money. I have no problem; my choice.
Haaland and what to do with him is repetitive but they are expected to discuss main topics.
Focal is an ideal method of getting short and concise info. They believe themselves to be entertainers but some are not very good at it.

yeah...

he's say 50-50 for Saturday afternoon.

then 100% out in gw18.

is it 2 games to win the World Club Cup? And he's carrying a recurring injury into gw19...

that's enough info for me.

If it was Alvarez you'd risk it because there's not a massive trade off back to front in the rest of your squad like a £14m chunk of it represents.

There is a definite edge to play there.

tbf...

in this game there are enough reasons to pretty much justify any position you want to take.

It amazes me how people haven't caught on to these content t*ts yet.

Right, this game is a competition. They want to finish as high as possible. They don't give a damn about your team, my team or anyone else's bar their own. They are in it for them. When they come out with crap like this there is a reason for it and it is more than likely for their own selfish reasons. It they are saying this it is highly probable that they can't make the move for some reason and they don't want others getting an advantage

Come on people get a grip. They are not our friends. Stop funding them. You do not need them

On paper I agree, but I saw someone say before that I think Fabio Borges has a mindset of looking at every transfer as being -4, especially short term ones. I normally don't care about "the great and the good" but liked that idea, because you have to think of the opportunity cost of a move (so this means you can't make any other moves until a third week, which is a long time) alongside the other necessities that crop up pushing you into actually actively taking hits

C or roll

Out of the frying pan into the fire

I did Alverez to Solanke early on before Haaland news, so I'd say do that move if Haaland is fit

Yes, I think I'm holding and hoping for GW18/19

Consider this. I have given a mark out of 10 relating to price, availability and fixtures. (1= get rid 5= keep not buy 10 buy at all costs.

Just a thought

Yeah, Son is confirmed to be departing immediately after the GW20 game, some may not be required until a bit later (but not late enough for FPL purposes) and maybe a tiny possibility some may be wanted a bit earlier but probably unlikely

A key issue to note is the FA Cup takes a GW away for this period.

trigger warning must be given for pool fans if THAT guys name is on any team sheet

Okay, illness and not injury

Phew!

Nope

Is this really a genuine question?

Sell after GW20
