This has been Maddison's issue and the reason why big teams didn't go after him; he's a brilliant playmaker but spends too much time on the sidelines; he had a similar knock with Halaand, but Halaand is already back and running. I was forced to make two early transfers: Bowen for Maddison and Doku for Sterling. £1.4m saved

Instead of Doku you should've bought Mbeumo. People say the Liverpool fixture is hard but we have been very bad in defense for the past week and Luton & Toulouse were able to put some goals behind the net.

Also has favorable fixtures after GW14.

With Brendford facing Liverpool, Arsenal, Luton, and Brighton, there was plenty of reason to put Bowen and Doku ahead of him. Liverpool and Arsenal have terrible defences, but I doubt Mbuemo would score against them.

Bowen at home against a terrible Nottingham Forest defence and Doku on the LW against Colwill, this is going to be entertaining.

Where are you getting your info? Report that site as scam
Actual stats are even more in your favor.

Top 5 defenses in PL this season:
1. Man City
2. Arsenal
3. Liverpool
4. Newcastle
5. Chelsea

So out of 4 clubs you mentioned, literally 3 are in top 5 and NFO is solid at 8th place. If we are targeting fixture for attackers than Sheffiled and Burnley are the teams to target, They are conceding roughly 3 goals for every goal above mentioned teams concede.

Who are you rating as top defense except for City?

It cannot be my Arsenal you Chelsh*t supporter

If you saw the Arsenal against Manchester City game, you will see how close the defense of the both teams were. Even Doku who is very fast and good in 1v1 situations could not complete a dribble.

[Harkorede]

He played for 12 mins, three minutes less I blame the coach, maybe he should not have played Estupinan when they were already two goals ahead and could have managed without him since he was just new from injuries.

It is no concern of mine though, I had him before and earned me some good points in some GW, but I am not going back to him even if he recovers.

Blame the fitness coach who declared him fit to Play. The manager was only doing his job trying to manage and  to defend the goal.

At the end of the day it's always up to the player, fitness coach really can't if a player isn't fit enough for a game, there are no tests that could determine if a player his actually fit enough, some players are always eager to get back on the pitch and once a player have been able complete several full contact training session with the full squad, and the player often times don't hide that they still have some small discomfort and it's always not the fitness coach managers fault in this case, there is no better way to integrate him back into squad to gain proper match fitness than bringing him in after with 25 minutes left to go in an already wrapped up game against even a more so against a team like Ajax that aren't doing well by any means currently, it's just an unfortunate incident. I just don't think either the fitness coach or the manager would find it necessary to bring him on if they knew they'd taking any risk at all.

--------------------------

Transferring Maddison and Haaland out early enough after their respective injury scare was not a move solely influenced by lack of patience, but it was more tactical approach from me because I was already looking to be rid of either Son Heung-Min or Maddison himself to make room for an Arsenal midfielder Saka or Martinelli, and Haaland not being at he's best of form too was already something I was considering to have two more options upfront while Man City plays their next couple of fixtures which are all going to be against tough opponents.

I took quite a bit of points hit for this game week, and it is a really needed move for me, ngl.

Arsenal 17 matches played in all competition this season, 15 goals conceded., 9 clean sheets .
Liverpool 17 matches played in all competition, 17 goals conceded , 4 clean sheets.

Arsenal aren't as bad as Liverpool but after City defense my top rating are Crystal palace and Newcastle.

I didn't see such defense against Chelsea few weeks ago nor did I see them against Westham and Newcastle. Lol

[buwaytress]

Right, so I know I cleared out Brighton players because of their slide (I'm with Trofo, don't be tempted by Estupinan once he returns) but now I had to move Maddison out (seems ankle injury is weeks recovery), I thought, okay, fine, let's give Mitoma another chance, surely against the worst team in the league he smacks them good, no?

Largely unchanged, I'm sticking with C Wilson, my hero.

Brighton without Estupinan seem to be a different team altogether and it's for this reason I have transferred out all Brighton assets to avoid disappointments they keep delivering!! Though interestingly they showed some heart in the Europa games and and do deserve a second chance.. Mitoma isn't a bad addition too..

Largely unchanged, I'm sticking with C Wilson, my hero.

Callum Wilson in my option seems to be the better striker than Isak , but why does the manager always play Isak ahead of Wilson???

Atm Wilson is enjoying some game time because Isak is injured and once his bad it's back to bench warming.

[cygan]

for the gw12 i had to make 2 transfers and sold my two injured tottenham players Maddison and Richarlison and traded them for two other midfielders (Mbeumo (brentford) and Douglas Luiz (aston villa))
on the other hand i hope that Saka (arsenal) will not miss out after all and will get his chance to play

[cryptofrka]

My team really looks like shit for this GW.

Maddison, Estupinan and Stones injured, Saka doubtful for the game. Tsimikas doubtful to start.
It's possible I'll play with 9 players, from which one will be Semenyo.

I have some construction going on in my apartment and no option to sit down in peace and use a wildcard. Should have done it ages ago though.

Wilson is one of the best strikers in the league when fit, but he is really injury prone and he can't play a game every three days. Isak is first striker on the paper but even before injury, Wilson had more minutes in PL and Isak played more in CL.

Wilson is also more than capable of scoring even when coming from the bench and getting 20-30 minutes.

That being said we are entering congested holidays schedule and 90+ minutes players that play every available minute will be more valuable than ever. So I am trying to get as many as possible into my team, you know who I am talking about, guys like: Salah, Fernandes, Bowen, Eze.... Would include Saka in the list but seems to me Arteta forced him a bit too much and he is always playing with some minor injuries. Seems likely he will need a game or two off.


Edit: just finished my transfers for the week and I am quite happy with the team. Should be good going forward. Be prepared Martinelli will go nuclear today, I was switching between him or Bowen for Maddison and landed on Bowen. Gonna regret this one but took it because of xMins. Also gives me a nice amount of cash in the bank for future transfers.

[NotATether]

So who did you all captain?

I imagine most of us did Haaland (C)  Salah (V).

Halaand (C) against Chelsea? No way ! If there's one club that he finds it difficult to score against is Chelsea and I'm not sure anything would change tomorrow. The best bet this weekend is Salah against Brentford.

I couldn't decide between Onana and Areola. Both have easy games, but I believe Westham will beat Nottingham Forest with clean sheet.

I liked your squad quite much. However Gabriel made me lose many points this season. Whenever I thought about transferring him Arteta kept him on the bench. Because of this I don't think about transferring him again this season. By the way what are your opinions about Hwang Hee-chan? In my opinion he is a player with scoring potential.

I think the issue with Saka isn’t one that would leave him on the bench, he will very much be featured on the pitch although, Maddison seems to be the bane of most of us. Didn’t keep track on him until it was late past the limited time for transfer. I’m just hoping one of my benched players like Kabore or Edouard gets good points to substitute for Maddison.

I rally should have brought Mbeuno in, would be looking forward to that possibility in GM13 and the chances of getting Haaland back on my squad. Last GW11 was so out of expectation.

I'm giving the armband this GW to Saka, he's a bit of a risky choice as it wasn't sure if he will start, just got confirmed that he will, now I am hoping for a hat trick! heheh..

I hope it doesn't end up like the last time, where he had to miss more matches due to that, he's already made the line up though, I presume it was just a minor issue and FPL injuries notification (the yellow one) is just misleading as it often is the case.

I really hope Rasmus Hojlund can replicate the form he display in the UCL during the midweek.

EDIT:
It just wasn't meant to be for Hojlund, was it ? I mean he had quite an amount of decent chances, and he took some of them really the best way any striker possibly could but Kaminsky was just never going to let it slide.

If that be Saka being referred, we are sure to have him in regular play but, Maddison is out for the rest of the year.

Tottenham’s lose today just shows how much work he was doing for the team, they couldn’t hold on to an offensive game and were often subjected to pressure by the Wolves team, conceding 2 late goals to deprive me of good 6points on Son and Pedro Porro zero clean sheet, Spurs did this one.

It seems to have been a defense game for Arsenal today, with Saliba and Zinchenko on the score sheet. Saka don’t seem yo be so phenomenal no more to produce great quality and needed goals. His unfitness and how the game seems to revolve around him makes it really difficult to get points.

[cryptofrka]

White with a knock today, I did not even know about that one.
So, my defence is White, Estupinan, Stones (all injured), Tsimikas (probably won't start) and Coufal. Brilliant.

At least Saka played - but looks like a terrible round in the making for me.

It's just a matter of time before he gets out of a lot of teams, multiple options are becoming available yet again, choices like Eberechi Eze and Micheal Oliseh are back for Crystal Palace, and they were quite a dependable options when fully fit.

I can't remember what a really good game week looks like again to be very honest, it's been a very long while for me, Lol!
