Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

My team:
Pope | Elliot
Jones | Kenny | Ogbonna | Dunk | Mee
Hazard | Salah | Sterling | Richarlison | Gross
Kane | Morata | DCL

1 FT and 2.3 ITB.

Thinking of bringing Pogba in for Richarlison and/or Adrian for Elliot (-4). Burnley will face Man Utd and with some injuries of their defenders, it could be hard for them to get cleansheet. On the other side, WHU will face the toothless Bournemouth and will have double GW in GW 22. Is it good idea to take -4 or not? Or just bringing Pogba in and forget the GK to avoid any hit? Or is there any better advice?

Comments are really appreciated. Thank you.

Cheers.

Hi Garry.
I am also considering the Rich->Pogba move, not entirely sure though with Rich's two good fixtures.
I never think a -4 for a GK is a good idea, especially with a blank GW coming up, rather wait for the DGW so that you actually get an extra game out of him.

@dok:
Yeah, that's what i'm thinking too. In last GW, I almost dumbed gross but he repayed my faith by his goal. Maybe I just wait until two watford's good fixtures before I switch him with spurs/whu player. Btw, Richarlison's price is going down tonight.

If I bring adrian in for elliot, I can use him as my goalkeeper and bench pope (vs Man Utd). In GW 21, I can just easily bench adrian and get pope in. Is adrian nailed enough after whu lost to newcastle?

Don't pay too much mind to price changes...it doesn't really matter after your first WC imo.
I am not sure Adrian is nailed, but one thing I am 100% certain off is that I'll never bring a WHam def in. WHam as a club can't be trusted imo

But actually, Moyes might be the right man for WHam, he did a good job at Everton and maybe he is stabile again

@DOK: Wild week with -8 ahead, need to break even

Pope
Belle-Christ-Ogba
Hazard-Shootinho-Salah-Arni
Kane-Firmino-Rondon

Elli-Oreo-Duffy-Mee

Looking good!
I've done Kola->Alonso, couldn't bring myself to get Kane for one week, eventhough I am fairly certain he'll bang two in 

It's easier to say things in hindsight, he could blank which is possible with any player but hoping for one more hat trick. Need a lot of points this week to even up and match top 10k average.

I am even fearing 3 or 4 goals from him, certainly seems a possibility with the record and all in sight...Clear mistake to ship him out for Morata, but I had to make one at some point, having escaped big mistakes up until now.

I can only laugh 
To quote Homer Simpson "I AM SO SMART! S-M-A-T!

Alonso scored though which is good, Arni just scored a brace before he sit on bench for next week.

So far it's +8 on top 10k avg score after hit, need to survive  the drop.

Incredibly, even without Kane I only fell 1k places 
Sterling will help me regain those 
Ceci your tem is flying!

It's going well last 3 weeks after being stuck @ 500k range, job is not done yet thought got 3 bench DGW players and need to hit the average next week. Rondon getting injured has made it difficult again, as expected somebody went down

Your thoughts on Arnau? Worth bringing in for the DGW, if I don't want to keep for the future?

Moved Pogba because Arni provided way better SiB stats and possibly starts OOP until they are chasing the game. Considering Aldi is still missing he could be worth it for the DGW and beyond it. It depends what you are comfortable with, could have waited 1 more week but Arni seemed decently priced and a key piece in relegation fightback ( similar to Austin ).

Thinking of getting Wilson in for Rondon ( hamstring ) this week, Defoe is out till Feb. Hopefully Wilson will hold that position till Austin is back.
