that is the question ;hmm
I mean ;nonono ;hug
I meant 2, of course.
Despite the lack of goals, I'm OK so far. Wish I#'d gone or Jakupovic rather than bench him ... but who could have foreseen he'd save a pen???
If I had one, or better still a Bench Boost to play and follow up the Wildcard with, I'd pick 15 from the following who play twice in GW37...
GK: Forster - Pickford - Cech
Def: Alonso - Kompany - Monreal - Alderwerield -Koscielny - Gabriel - Blind - Davies - Stephens
Mid: Hazard - Sanchez - Son/Alli/Eriksen - Sane - Ozil - Redmond - Albrighton - Pedro - Ox-Chamberlain
Fwd: Kane - Jesus - Costa - Vardy - Gabbiadini
Personal picks:
Forster Pickford
Alonso - Kompany - Monreal
Hazard - Sanchez - Son - Sane
Jesus - Gabbiadini - Kane
Bench: Redmond - Davies - Stephens
Picking people with the team budget in mind I guess is the tricky part (e.g. I'd have Costa over Gabbiadini, Alli over Son) and we all have varied team value.
My current team is below. Under that, is close to the above for GW 37... If I make 3 TFs next week...
I was struggling with my budget, a bit. But it is interesting to see the your choices.
I was planning my WC choices with GW 37BB in mind but ALSO my AA chip, which has to be played either in 36 or 38.
Your defensive line is quite pricey - apart from the good value Saints( one of whom I bought also).
My thinking for defenders was to save money. Originally I was going with 2 cheap non-playing defenders, eg Ake + Love to free up some funds. But then would have either had to forfeit their BB points, or make 2 Bazfers ... and probably would have been unable to find similarly priced defenders, so would have had to make 3 transfers to free up a couple of million from a F/MF player sale to pay for 2 defender. So it seemed a false economy. Plus Love (for example) would only have 1 match in GW37, against Arsenal away, so I didn't foresee much points boost from my bench boost ;wink )
Bearing in mind I need players who will all get me points in (particularly) 36 and 37, which are being served with chips.
I think Sanchez will play, but I was worried about Arsenal rotation even IF I could have afforded more players. I agree re the Spurs MFs, which is why I kept Alli (along with Kane and Lukaku, the only 3 who survived the clear-out). And Sane - I'm a bit ;hmm . I may end up swapping him out next week if he looks vulnerable to Pep's Peculiar Picks.
If I may say so, I think you might have gone a bit early on Jesus ;hmm
I see you are thinking of swapping Alli and Son?
I may keep a defender or two (outside of the main three) who’ll only play one game that week, maybe not. That’s because there’ll be some who have two hard games (that they may not play in e.g. Valencia) as opposed to one fixture where it’s a kind one. Maybe I’ll change my mind after next week on a few things but I’ve got the majority of the squad in place already for the epic GW 37 against Mrs Grey hehe
That said, I still haven’t got the money I’d like for a couple of people. Alli goes purely because having Son gets me the budge for someone like Sane. He hasn’t been rotated (yet) like Sterling has but he’s also not bringing that much to the table recently. At 7.6 he’s not too much and I have a couple of players I could theoretically pick over him. So Im a little on the fence with him.
Yes Jesus has only just returned and I admit its an indulgence rather than 100% from the head/logic. I should be extra wary of him as he cost me a H2H when he got injured (he was my Captain and I only needed him to stay on the pitch for 60 minutes to win! That 2pts instead of 4 made someone happy against me that week) However, by GW 37 he’ll have had a while playing and training. I have a replacement for him in mind if he breaks down and it means I can transfer more
I guess over the next game or so anyone could get injured or suspended or rotated! I’ve tried to pick players who I think will play both games in 37 but people like Gabbiadini and co at Soton and the Arsenal players could easily be rotated or someone like Sanchez just break down from fatigue. At the end of the day I’ve picked who I think have either the quality or the better opposition to play or both (and left players who’ll probably play twice at Watford, Leicester, Sunderland and WBA out of my squad).
It if all goes south then there’s only one week left of the season and I’ll regroup over the summer and hope I don’t have a ton of injuries at the start of next season which blighted me this time.
#Its a funny old game
My worries re Sane have been realised.
Starting to think that FF just doesnt like me ;puzzled
Especially when my sub has 6 points in the bag.
Obviously.
