GW23 Chat

Few hits have come through lately, LIV assets were fine but Wilson delivering was very important. Need to keep it steady with 15 weeks left, you got 2 players left so 80+ is a real possibility which should be +20 over top10k avg

The three hits I have taken this year haven't come through...so I am trying to stay clear, eventhough I am tempted this week...as usual 
on 74 now (with Fabi from the bench) so yeah, probably a good chance

I have about 11-12 hits so far , just inside 100k with latest update.

grats on that, 10k should be manageable!
edit: Ouch, might sound condescending...wasn't meant that way

It doesn't sound so horrible, my goals have been very short term so 10k is still a long way away. 2M>1.5M>1M>500k>100k>50k, you can drop down quickly after a bad week so need to consolidate and not look too far. You are never far away from disaster when you are likely to take a -8 out of the blue

True dat, just don't take the hit then

Nothing worth a hit this week and quite happy with the squad barring Christ so should be HnR unless something forces my hand..

I have my eyes on a Man C mid, Mahrez and Pickford. This could actually be the week I take that hit

Was thinking of some action but underlying stats for Son/Alli ( thought Son was miles better but Alli is very close ) are quite impressive so going to stay put for now, 3 fixtures after SOU look brutal on ticker but ARS-LIV DEF's' are there for taking. With Wilson working well 4 current MID's in the team should work well.

Keep an eye out for week 28 fixtures depending on who makes it through to the final of the EFL cup before making any transfers

Hey Ceci and Dok long time!

Dok - how did your festive period go? Lots of points I hope? I know Ceci has been getting big scores as we are in the same H2H league.

Similarly to Ceci I have been gradually improving from a bad start and have nearly made it to the OR 100k mark. So next target is 100k and then 50k I guess.

Good shout Ceci about keeping transfers until we know what's happening in gw 28 - I had 2FT's so just did Alli to Arnautovic before his price rise as I also have Son and Kane, and will try and save the other one so have 2 again for gw 25.

Hi 69ers. It went well, even with missing Kanes two hattricks haha
You can actually click the small round icon below my avatar, it will take you to my team. up to ~9k now.
How about you, how is your team doing? (edit: somehow I missed your rank   )

Was thinking of making a transfer but it would be good to have 2 Ft next week, already have 4 players from ARS-CHE-MCI. Knowing who is gonna missout might help planning the transfer.

@69ers: Nice

Very nice OR Dok! I TC'd Kane during the dgw oops!

@Ceci - thanks but I'm still tempted to use the other transfer on my goalie or defence:

Pope
Alonso-Ota-Martina
Salah(c)-Sterling-Son-Arnautovic-Lingard
Kane(v)-Firmino

Elliot-Ogbonna-Quaner-Mariappa

Thinking to replace Pope with DeG or one of my 3 non premium defenders with Jones/Smalling/VVD/Bellerin/Valencia - what do you reckon?!

Seems Heaton is back in training too - also got my eyes on Schmeichel and Pickford as cheaper but solid looking alternatives with attractive fixtures...

WHy not Pickford? Most points over the last ~10 GW's or so and 1m cheaper than DDG. It's him or Mahrez for me this week

Didn't see this post...Schmeichel might also be a good pick, seems like Puel has them up and running.

Yeah there are definitely options - I guess I'm trying desperately hard to avoid using my second transfer this week so I have 2FT's next gw and I'm looking for support!!!

But seriously a lot could happen between now and gw 25 including knowing who will blank 28, how Walcott/Tosun look for Everton and confirmation of Sanchez, Niasse, Micki and any other deals.

So upgrading my goalie or defence should wait right?!

I would be tempted to use the second now, as the fixtures are better this week.

@69ers: Get Picky imo and move to new thread for the new week.

Yeah good point and I don't expect Pope to keep a clean sheet against United. Well I've had a quick comparison of Pickford v Schmeichel until the end of the season, and based purely on fixtures Pickford wins. I also think he's the better keeper.

Hmmmm maybe I will do it this week after all!

Ok that was a reply to Dok and thanks Ceci for confirming what I was thinking! Yes new thread sorry - been away a while!
