As long as he's scored a brace by then that's fine by me.
That Eriksen injury has really scuppered my transfer plans for the week.
Was planning on Salah + Zaha / Wilson OUT and Kane n Richarlison IN. Fixtures just so much better and can get Salah back in few weeks if needed.
Don't like Kane without Eriksen though. Spurs creativity without him is poor.

Eriksen's injured? How bad is it?
We have 11 players in common. Just the keepers, Richarlison and Silva are not in my team. You can count on Richarlison and Silva to bag braces
Foster
Mendy Robertson, Alonso, wan Bissaka, Holebas
Salah, Richarlison, Hazard, Neves
Zaha, Aguero, Ings
Not happy with my squad. Midfield looks weak enough

My team is fecked at this point:
Ederson; Alonso, Cook, Robertson, Trippier; Mane, Sterling, Moutinho; Mitrovic, Ings, Lacazette (c)
Subs: Hennessey, Holebas, Seri, Pereyra.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

——-————-Ederson
——-Shaw - Robertson - Alonso (Wan-Bissaka)
Mane - Hazard - Maddison - Richarlison
—--Aguero - Mitrovic - Vardy
(0.3 left in the bank)
Made the changes and doubled up on Leicester based on their next 9 games and having no midweek distractions.

Who's your second goalie and fifth midfielder? Maybe you could upgrade your midfield by downgrading Holebas to Bennett (4.1) or Doherty (4.4). Doherty is very attacking. Too much money in the defense right now, unless you plan to go five or four at the back for most of the GW's.
Wouldn't go for a 5.5/4.5 goalkeeper combo. If you go or a premium goalie like Ederson it might be better to have a 4.0 bench fodder as the second option. Not many matches where you'd hope Hennessey having a better chance for a clean sheet than Ederson, so there's not much rotation value there either. You could get 0.5 from dowgrading the keeper. Get a playing, cheap midfielder for the bench instead of Seri, someone like Hojberg, Billing or Ward, this would get you 1.5 to upgrade...aaaand you'd just be just 0,4 short of Laca to Aguero, damn
Not sure what's to be unhappy about.
You have all the best defenders, Salah, Hazard and Rich are great mg and strike is the same as everyone else
I feel I need to force Mitrovic in though. Would like to upgrade my keeper as well just not sure who? Hart maybe?
The best team I've seen so far. Who are the players on the bench?
Its not bad at all.
Just an upgrade of lacazatte to a big hitter striker, probably through downgrading one of those three premium defenders, away from being very decent.
Ive managed to let milo of palace drop 3 times now!
So this week its either him to richarlison (my first pick) or maddison (who i missed an early week price Increase on)
Or vestegarrd to laporte (vesty on the borderline of another drop) .
I have shaw alonso Robertson and wanbissaka so not in huge big defender need
Thoughts?

You know what I'm like though, always a pessimist.
I don't know why but I have a sudden urge to bring in Pogba. Worth a punt?
You should have taken Eriksen after the last game I don't know what you we're waiting for. I took him straight after the last game! He hasn't been providing the goods so he had to go.
Would certainly be a risky one.
West Ham and Chelsea both away in the next 3.
Slight doubts about Pogba even starting this next one after the recent fuss? West Ham on a bit of a resurgence?
Don't let me stop you though! If you're brave and he does well i'll be delighted for you!
I'm still stubbornly playing De Gea and Shaw. They have got to keep a cleany soon right?
Right?
I think the fuss ended with the media guy apologizing to Pogba. But you're right its an absolute gamble. If he does start though i see him putting up a strong performance just to prove a point to Jose. Just my feels though.
BTW i could see Arnautovic having our CB's for dinner and hence DDG might be a huge gamble. Shaw might help us out offensively though.
I've only the one playing keeper, so it's De Gea for now.
Milo, and Vestegaard are bigger priorities to ship.
I think Milo definitely needs to go to a goal threat like Richarlison. He was an inspired week 1 pic. Just a shame he absolutely gooned it up with that stupid semi headbutt
Thanks, I’m happy enough with it considering I still have my Wildcard.
Bench is thin though. Wan-Bissaka is my first and only choice really, after that I have Stephens who constantly scores 2 points per week.
Wan-Bisska in for Mendy with some change to spare
I used my Wildcard after GW3 so I don't have it. I am thinking about Kane because he will play against Cardif at home next week. I would give him an armband because my thought is that he will score at least two goals on that match but I will think about that move.
Ma squad for this weekend:
Henessey
Shaw-Bennet-Laporte
Fraser-Hazard-Richarlison-Mane-Sterling
Aguero(C)-Mitrovic
Bench: AWB-Robertson-Joselu
I expect big game from Fraser and Richarlison, especially from Rich because Everton has easy home match against Fulham. Aguero and Sterling also have a chance to score against weak Brighton.
How many of you lot still have your wildcard?
I've been trying to do a bit of planning but still have no idea when to use it. I usually would have used it by now but have done pretty damn well so far. Need to get some turds out of my squad (namely Cairney and Ralls, probably one of Mane or Salah too at some point) but don't want to waste my wildcard on just 3/4 transfers.

I don't have Eriksen and never had him. Read it again. I said a spurs team without Eriksen makes Kane less appealing.
Zaha + Salah for Kane n Richarlison was what I was looking at but the news about Eriksen has put me off Kane a little
It’s waste for just a few adjustments for sure. When you really need it, it will become a lot more apparent than the feeling you have now I reckon. I’ll be Wcing around a shift in fixtures for the big clubs, most likely.
Me.
Thinking GW9/GW10. A lot of the players I own hit a bad run of fixtures then while a lot of players I don't own hit a good run. That'll do me.
Used mine GW4. Had a great start but always wanted to try an early WC. No regrets so far.
Assuming your team is nr 4 i caf league, Up the duff-y?
For once yes!
Usually a first international break job, but am loitering around 9th in my work league of 78, and it's alright so far.
I suppose it's when there's a load of obvious risers or some very key big hitters that you just need, and it's too hard to do in 3 transfers.
If one of the Arsenal strikers, Kane, Lukaku explode, it'd be difficult to work it all out.
At the moment it seems fine to have 3 expensive defenders but usually you want to direct that money forward
Oh ok - well Kane doesn't need Eriksen to score goals tbh he can make goals out of anything
Yeah that's me. Team isn't awful by any means but it's going to need a shake up soon I feel.
I'm ready for this weekend. My team for gw 7 is:
Cech;
Alonso, Shaw, Bennett;
Fraser, Maddison, Mane, Hazard;
Kane, Aguero (c), Wilson.
subs: Hamer, Hojbjerg, Wan-Bissaka, Robertson.
Only have slight concern whether to start Wan-Bissaka or not. And if yes, in place of who? Suggestions?

Ederson
Alonso WanB Mendy (on the off chance he does actually play it could be a great differential)
Mane Hazard Richarlison Pereyra
Aguero Mitrovic Zaha
Hamer, Robertson (went for WanB over him but he'll likely come on for Mendy), Cook, Guendouzi

Be tempted to start AWB over Shaw the way we look at the moment but you'll probably be alright. Besides you're playing both Fraser & Wilson so you must expect them to score (against Palace). Robertson last on the bench might bite you in the arse though.
Not sure whether to start TAA, Wan-Bissaka or Bennett... please help?
Wolves have the best chance of a clean sheet and TAA has the best chance of some attacking returns.
My team this weekend:
Hart
Shaw, Alonso, Trippier
Maddison, Mane, Pogba, Richarlison
Mitrovic, Kane(vc) , Aguero(c)
Bench:
AWB, Bennett, Neves
Hace a bad feeling Pogba wont start sadly..

Decent team given your points total
I'm 40th in the caf league.
I feel there's rarely a good time to use WC unless injuries force you, or as I did this season, use it early to prevent falling behind from the start.
Think I would save my WC till after an intenational break if I were you.
