Also, without meaning to, I've slowly been morphing into Harko's team. Thankfully, he got Mbeumo and I got Schade. I like my chances.

If it helps even unintentionally, why the hell not ??

Thankfully, he got Mbeumo and I got Schade. I like my chances.

Then I can't help but feel bad for you, Mbeumo is not going to underdeliver... he's the best player to have from that mess of a club.

It does feel tempting to max on Liverpool now that I feel they're finally shifting to third gear..?

It really is, Gakpo and Isak are tempting for me, my concern is that they can't seem to go two weeks without another injury worries, once the Arsenal match this week is out of the way, they'll surely be on my radar once again... And I want my Szobo back!

Palmer serves the suspension in the Cup, right? 2 yellows should be only 1 game.

Yup. correct! You gotta run that Palmer captaincy back, it's more or less a similar situation this week, Chelsea has the better fixture against Man United, compared to Man City 


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

It's now been confirmed that Joao Pedro is going to be out for a few weeks with a thigh, I guess that settles is for me, and I can't help but say timing wasn't the best for me because I still need a little bit of information before picking my replacement(s) and most of them have been going up in prices in the last few days too.

I think now it’s about who comes in for him and one of the few names are; Jackson and looking at Aston Villa upcoming fixtures until December they have very good fixtures but Jackson isn’t one who will get behind the goals week in week out. Then there is Isak who we all know will mostly get the goals with problem been his fitness because he has been in and out of the team due to injury. And there is the like of Evanilson for most who haven’t got Tavernier and also wild options like Kostoulas and Calvert-Lewin.

Bringing in Welbeck would have been a good differential but he isn’t trusted by Xabi Alonso like we saw in the London derby. This definitely a delicate time because I do expect Pedro price to fall before tomorrow. Might probably even sell off a midfielder to fund Isak plus Jackson move

Good thing I have transfers to make, 5 in total and I’m going to use them for this GW, at least 3
I already have Haaland and Isak

I don’t know who I can put in João Pedro’s spot
Those three are the only forwards I trust to score good points
(Isak a little less so, but he seems to be improving with Liverpool)

I’ve had Dominic Calvert-Lewin before, but I didn’t like him very much

Maybe sell Odegaard and João Pedro, bring in some cheap striker, and invest more in the midfield
My attack would consist only of Haaland and Isak

[darbitmobilerecovery]

GW 8 winner is darxiaomi with 63 points, taken on total points tie break. Tevernier and Van Hecke the two differentials that made this happen.

Thanks mate!

In my last post i was just writing and i submit before i could see your post.

It was a nice win after a few season without a win in this contest, in the past one i ended up in the second position a few times so this one is even sweeter for me.And yes Tavernier and Van Hecke with his clean sheet were the key, i miss the deadline and in this case give me a win because if i had make my team maybe i took out Van Hecke for that game since it was not in the books of nyone to see Totneham winning and collecting a clean sheet.

Do you have any latest information about Joao Pedro? Will he be out for long?

“A few weeks” that’s the exact term Alonso used, so I’m thinking the best case scenario would be after the international break, that’s 3 weeks from now. Link to full report: https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/xabi-alonso-confirms-chelsea-team-news-for-liverpool

That's what I said about Bruno before he imploded of his own volition. Mbeumo was a staple for a long time in my team but if his teammates continue to play with their shoulders down and not running, he ain't going to make magic on his own.

It really is, Gakpo and Isak are tempting for me, my concern is that they can't seem to go two weeks without another injury worries, once the Arsenal match this week is out of the way, they'll surely be on my radar once again... And I want my Szobo back!

I was thinking more of Wirtz and Araujo, for example. Can't play the forwards, a waste of transfers. Rio's even on my radar but he ain't getting the minutes. I want Szoback too!

Thats just terrible. A huge hit for my team i used a wildcard to bring him and he got injured for couple of weeks and now i need to transfer him out already,really painful to make a must change and now i dont have a striker that can score goals. I dont know how i also improved by 1 position this week without a captain,really wierd round.

[Z-tight]

I’ve had Dominic Calvert-Lewin before, but I didn’t like him very much

I'm going to play my WC this gameweek, and i am considering DCL in place of Thierno Barry. I have had Barry for a couple of weeks now, he is guaranteed to start all their games because Everton do not have any other striker, but he is not so prolific. I know it is the same with DCL, but i just feel it is time for a change.

JP would be missed for these few weeks he will be out, he is a proper striker. However, i don't think anybody would want to keep him, since Alonso wasn't even certain on how long he'll be out, so it could be longer.

Hopefully Welbeck steps into that role and builds some sort of understanding with Rogers and Palmer as Pedro has, because we have seen Chelsea struggle this season without Pedro in their attack; that could happen again.

Xabi should also consider giving Estavao some more game time, he was not brought to Chelsea to warm the bench.

Almost everyone, if not everyone, had Pedro in attack; his injury will bring some randomness in options.

I’ve always wondered just what the issue was for leaving Estavao on the bench, Neto for sure but, the few minutes Estavao has being given, his always proven to be a significant threat for the opposition. He deserves a lot of playing time. Xabi needs to figure out how to get him in formation to play more. This could accord him the time to prove his worth but, without Pedro and Palmer, it’s going to be difficult.
I’ve never being very cool with Welbeck, don’t think he would offer more to this Chelsea side but, would be cool to watch him try.

This injury stats gives me a good opportunity to use some of those FT, I’ve had to pile up for a while.

Checked FPL now, and yes Joao Pedro already has a red flag. A few weeks will probably mean missing 2-3 GWs. I'm not sure what happened to him, though since Alonso didn't mention the specific reason for the injury in his statement.

I’ve already sold Joao Pedro and brought in Evanilson as his replacement.

[igebotz]

Without Pedro the rest Chelsea attacking assets are looking like zombies right in our eyes and for the records; we've scored 0 goals in the two matches that Pedro didn't play in this season.

Now you have the information, do what you want with it. We play Liverpool mid week and tough game against Manchester United this weekend.

There's literally no good replacement for Pedro - you may want to invest that money to upgrade your midfield or you hold him..

Thanks @Harkorede, I got the news a few hours ago. The news has it that staff close to Pedro's team secretly transferred Pedro out of the EFL team signaling a long absence for Pedro, the info got leaked before Alonzo cleared the air.

I’ve already sold Joao Pedro and brought in Evanilson as his replacement.

I didn't sell Pedro, I benched him instead. I had faced the challenge of getting Evanilson or Jackson, I went with Jackson.

[Z-tight]

I don't really care about that, i don't give a shit about Chelsea, i only care about my FPL team. And i'm not about to get Welbeck into it, same as everybody else, logically.

Almost everyone, if not everyone, had Pedro in attack; his injury will bring some randomness in options. 

Yeah, there are not too many prolific options out there. I don't even like Isak, but in the absence of JP, is there any way you'd not get him. Jackson scored two goals against City, though Donnarumma should have done better for both goals, but i guess he also has to be an option, not like DCL or Barry are so much better than him.

Is time for Estevao to shine like he never does before. But can he be at the level required? I dont know i really feel like he have the talent necesary to do it but in top football sometimes talent is not the only thing needed to do a great career and in this case carrying a whole team.

Main problem right now also for Chelsea is Palmer not being at his best because if Palmer is at his best he can make the Joao Pedro absence less noticeable.

Anyways i think Xabi Alonso is gonna find the way to make it work and Chelsea is gonna end the season playing to level football.

Welbeck can; he has the experience, and if he is shown the same support as Pedro gets from Rogers and Palmer and other members of the team, he can deliver goals. Xabi will not favor him to start, though, because of his age and the fast pace of Chelsea's attack.

Arsenal has more problems with the rumor of an ankle injury to Madueke, Dowman's red card in the EFL, and a hip challenge that makes Calafiori a doubt too. Our next game is at Anfield against Liverpool. I see serious HARAM football from Arsenal; Arteta will play serious defensive football, but a clean sheet will be hard to keep.

He's not a good FPL asset and Alonso doesn't trust him enough to give him a good playing time yet, I don't know what else he would have to do to get good playing time, it's really unfair to him - someone with his talent would get enough of it somewhere else; he was supposed to be crucial part of this project and I'm certain this was not the kind of life he was proposed before he committed to us -  he's confidence is currently in the bin

I'm likely going to be bring in Isak/Barry for Pedro

Exactly what I said and I'm more confident to make this move
But I'm going to wait until a few hours before the deadline to actually make the transfers

I'm thinking Iif there any chance they'll start Estevão? 

[igebotz]

Not when Neto is available and fit but you never know, he was unused sub today and Neto could be rested this weekend..

Why are you so much interested in him though; short term gain?
