I thought you are watching Chelsea? James has now played full 90 minutes in last 4 Premier League games and had 3 assists and 1 goal in those 4 games. He also didn't get a minute in CL game yesterday so he should be ready to go.

Yes, but I'm used to him not starting or playing much since he returned from injury last season; if you put a gun to my head, I wouldn't be able to tell you how many games he has started or played 90 minutes this season. It is that bad now but I like how he's being managed.

He started most of those games due to red cards and injuries at the back, and he played the most minutes out of position. Not someone for long term. IMO.

[cryptofrka]

Andersen's injury looks better than initially thought so he'll probably miss just the Newcastle game. That saves me a transfer - quite happy about this.

Isak's owners must be frustrated - groin injury, could be nothing and could be complex as well. Both him and Ekitike are terrible choices as long as the hierarchy isn't set up properly.
Performance - wise, Ekitike should be our main striker at this point in time.

Chiesa winning the Player of the month (deservedly), Salah doing some Twitter drama again after his 'heroics' in the last 2 games, I wouldn't be surprised if he's benched.
Would be deserved as well, it's time to cash in on him it seems. Saudi Arabia, we are ready.

While I was looking at fixtures I noticed a thing. Liverpool have a wonderful schedule from gameweek 12 to 20. There are 5 matches with a difficulty of 2 and the rest are 3.



They might be the team with the best fixtures in this time period I think. I have had only Gakpo from Liverpool in my team for a while.

But maybe I might go for more players from them depending on performances until then.

I tripled the Chelsea squad. 

I'm currently in a good position in the league, but I feel like I'll lose my position without JP and Semenyo. So, I've decided to add more depth to the team given Chelsea's upcoming run of matches (I sold Kudus and PPoro).

Even though their fixtures look easy on paper, it is hard to decide on which players to pick from the Liverpool team. Their defense is a NO for me, and in attack Salah and Isak can't get goals at the moment. Gakpo is the only Liverpool player that makes sense to have right now, and maybe Ekitike, but who knows how many minutes he'll be getting ahead of Isak.

I'm telling you all - the answer is there, you just can't see it.
Wirtz will come out good, he played well in the last 2 games.

Gakpo is the inform player at the moment, he's someone to consider as well.
Hopefully by GW12 Isak-Ekitike situation will be more clear, Ekitike deserves to play in current form - with or without Isak.

It's funny how we all have some kind of consensus or the same thought on a number of players, for this I was thinking of going aggressively to bring in Gakpo, but, I'm just going have an huge headache with my who to bench, because it's become an heavy squad with options of Ndiaye / Bowen / Gakpo / Caicedo and Joao Pedro where I'd need bench least one.

If you only have to bench one player, isn't it an easy decision. Bowen out all day long if i was in your situation. Has he done anything really good this season? Other than his team languishing in 19th, i have not kept tabs on any West Ham player, but i am sure none of them is performing at a decent level, no?

I don’t know just yet, he seems like a good differential right now for me and it’s not as though most of the other options are firing on all cylinders too, so I’m trying to avoid the same mistakes I made with Watkins, I’ll let Bowen see out the fixtures I intended to have for when I made the decision to bring him in.

Gabriel as per Arteta is now a huge doubt for the game against Crystal Palace and without him Arsenal’s defense is not super solid, I’m thinking of bringing in Timber for him right, If there is chance that cleansheet is out of the theory then, I’d rather save my transfer and hope for the best with VDV.

[buwaytress]

^ Bowen, yeah, I think he was decent as a differential, but he and Watkins cost me a lot. I decided to stick with Ollie... And OK at least I remembered to make my team picks. Couldn't decide either way whether to transfer a guy out or two, so I'm sticking with my guys. One injured but my bench is there.

Week 2 now without Wirtz or Salah. Pains me but I need to catch up. So, so, tempted to captain Semenyo vs Forest (I know, I know, new manager).

For me Bowen is not longer a player to seek in this season, West Ham is really bad, he is good and the only player i saw who wants to do anything, the other day when i saw the last minutes between West Ham and Brentford, and damn, it was horrible.

ANd the new coach plays full defensive football, so its a no for me.

[cryptofrka]

So, so, tempted to captain Semenyo vs Forest (I know, I know, new manager).

Considered this for 5 seconds, decided that I simply have to go with Haaland in his current form.
Semenyo, Enzo and Saka are all decent options in my opinion - but Villa looked shaky in most of the games they played this season so I'm going with the most in-form player at the moment.

I have a feeling that Semenyo will beat him in points in this round but I'll let you take that risk instead of me

Shhh... don't tell him.   I am trying to climb above him this weekend with Haaland (C).

For me, for the foreseeable future Haaland captaincy is default, I’m glad Salah is having his down time at moment like this and I’ll be ready switch back once the tide changes again.

—————

I was pretty close to using my two transfers one for Gakpo from Reijnders and the other Van de ven to Rondon, but I hate the selection headache that comes with that choice, so I’m rolling with the hope of having a better transfer choices/options for next gw.

I wasn't familiar with their game, bought Bowen due to hype - I've been watching and shaking my heads in regret ever since. Danm it I'm pissed.

Edit: The bastard gave an assist last minute. The decision wasn't bad anyway.

Zero minutes for Stach - this isn't good for my BB..

[cryptofrka]

Damn, 2 guys in front of me have Bowen. I have Rodon, which means that Bowen's assist cost me 7 points compared to these 2 guys.
Still super happy with my start, 13 points from Rodon is fantastic.

On a funny note - 15 out of 15 people on top have Haaland as their captain

I am the only person in the league that has Anthony though - and I started him ahead of Sarr. What can go wrong there?

I feel like a total coward for not making that Rondon for VDV switch, it would have paid off pretty well immediately if Gabriel doesn't play against Palace, and except VDV does end up getting a good return for my trust which I doubt especially with out shaky Tottenham have been defensively.

It was a lucky escape with Bowen, but I'll take those 3 points over an upcoming Woltemade blank

Yeah, I stuck with him and at least got the game when he finally contributed, but the way that team is playing now, no way forward. They miss Antonio badly.

So, so, tempted to captain Semenyo vs Forest (I know, I know, new manager).

Considered this for 5 seconds, decided that I simply have to go with Haaland in his current form.

Too late, I kept the captain firmly on Haaland. Saka's definitely my vice (when Haaland seems in form like he is now) but Semenyo tends to smack big, even when his team doesn't win. Form always wins, like you said, and with Haaland, you need a minimum of 2 goal contributions for Semenyo to make the differential, so not yet for me.

Shhh... don't tell him.   I am trying to climb above him this weekend with Haaland (C).

Why are you standards so low? =p

For me, for the foreseeable future Haaland captaincy is default, I’m glad Salah is having his down time at moment like this and I’ll be ready switch back once the tide changes again.

I think the odds for Villa are outrageous, given how shite they are now, so I am worried they actually pull off the upset. But I figure I've got Ollie to hedge if Haaland blanks. Do I know what I'm doing? Nope.

Now that I’m looking at the table, they definitely have better fixtures than Man City and Arsenal, who make up the majority of my players. Maybe it would be wise to balance things out with a few more Liverpool players. For now, I only have Ekitike, but since it looks like he won’t play much, I’d rather pick Gakpo and maybe Van Dijk in defense.

[Harkorede]

Two of the matches with the most differentials that can either make or mar my game week will get underway pretty, most people got Enzo, while I have Caicedo, and Woltemade is another player I don't have who almost most people I'm chasing or chasing me have.
