Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s.

WALSH

Transfers:

OUT: Alexis and Yaya

IN (For -4 Points): Mane and Coutinho

Going big on Liverpool for the next three. Fuck Leicester new manager bounce they suck. Yaya is too reliant on pens to hold even for the double. Alexis will miss him but whatever. Will get him back soon. Would rather keep Zlatan for next week as possible cap if City lost to Huddersfield than keep Alexis. Although no Lukaku this weekend could just cause a 100k drop. Meh. We’ll see.

GK: Tom. Standard. Away game but at Hull. Maybe he’ll get 20 points.

DEF: Going with four at the back this weekend. Holes gets a recall off the bench. Good fixture…maybe he’ll play winger again. Kill for. Baines hasn’t had a pen in a while so maybe this weekend is time. Alonso is chilling. Finally Brunt at home hopefully he gets pushed up to OOP wing, Phillips gets dropped, and he scores a brace.

MID: Mane and Phil welcome back Pool welcome back fun. Siggy and Barkley round out the midfield grouping. Alexis makes way for the first time in ages and it’s weird to see no Arsenal in my team for maybe first week of the year or something. I’m really hoping Barks gets me some differential points. I briefly considered going back to Bobby instead of Phil but I didn’t. Kinda like the Phil assist potential and shit. Phil me.

FWD: Defoe and Kane only 2 friends this week. Hoping for some big points out of each. I have enough money to do Kane to Aguero next week at a straight swap if City have their double so that feels good. Maybe I won’t take a hit for once.

CAP: Still undecided. Probably going to go Kane. Might go Mane. Really uncertain in this moment. Kane feels like he fucking owes me so bad for being such a piece of shit every time I’ve capped him this season but Stoke have been chilling for two weeks and Spurs have played like 3 games. Not sure if they will be leggy or they will just be ready to play and Stoke will be listless out of the gates and get fucked. I’ll probably go Kane….would’ve felt better about Mane if Ranieri didn’t get sacked….idk. Could switch this one tonight when I get home and take a harder look.

ALON

Transfers:

OUT: Alexis and Amat

IN: Mane and Robertson

With no moves this week I would’ve been able to field 9 nailed players, 2 not nailed players, and held 3 blankers on my bench (Alexis/KDB/Ibra) which didn’t feel great. Especially with the, as talked about on pod at length, great upcoming run and no blanks for Liverpool mids it feels like as good a time as ever to get rid of Alexis ‘til after GW28. Will be scary as fuck (doubly for me as LFC supporter) not owning Alexis in GW27 but will make do. Mane in, the unrivaled best midfield option on Merseyside.

Amat has been a fucking piece of shit and not even playing fuck face in my team since GAMEWEEK ONE!!!!!! I’ve had Amat actually all season holy shit was there ever a more fucking rotten cocksucking fucking shitfuck stinking up my squad then this?!?!?!?! I feel very refreshed that Amat is no longer wearing my kit and can fuck off forever and ever….. Robertson in, I like Hull, I like the way they’ve looked. We talked about them on the pod and I actually prefer Maguire to Robertson with his goal threat but two things lead me to Andy instead… 1. Dawson/Davies are due back in 3-4 weeks (I want Hull defender for next ~6 GWs and 2. I actually need that .1 money difference if I want to take a -8 next week and get in Kun for the double gameweek. ^_^.

GK: Actually not going president Lee Grant this week for the first time in a while. Lot of changes in my life lads!! Pickford gets the nod with the much better fixture… If he plays he plays, if not Lee will autosub in. Simple as. Probably 1-3 points for each of them but who knows maybe I’ll get lucky?

DEF: New lad feels great Andy Robertson with the outstanding home Burnley fixture I feel like maybe this is my week for some luck?!?!?! Probably just wishful thinking but a little assist + cleany + bap(s) come on is that too much to ask Burnley have 5 goals and 1 point away all season fuck them. All four of my defenders in this 442 formation are home and it feels terrific. Alonso / Baines are start every weeks regardless of fixture but home Swans and home Sundy respectively is sexual. And lastly Holebas home Hammers I can only double Walsh’s wishes above and pray Holes plays winger again.

MID: Another tit another new friend Sadio main Mane cometh the fucking hour. It’s been sad for me not having a Liverpudlian so good to have balance restored and Sadio is such a fucking festival I’m so happy I can’t wait for all of his points they will feel sooooooooo good!!! Snoddy gave me an encouraging debut last week and was unlucky to not return. I think he can be a sneaky little twat for a while for me hopefully beginning this week against a pretty medium poor Twatford. Alli I mean he’s terrific but fucking fuck him. I have no words. Spurs have just been bukakeing me all season and I’m god damn sick of it. Lastly I have Stanislas in right now. Just another midfielder on my “to kill” list but hey maybe tinkerman Howe will decide that he’s better then fucking Pugh and other fucks seemingly now ahead of him. Get Stan in there and I will be a happy boy :)… Otherwise Fernandez will autosub on vs Chelsea….. EEK.

FWD: Like Walsh and many of you I’m sure, I’m holding Ibra through this blank so only two tods up front for me this week. Smashley Barnes at Hull who knows? He’s kind of good. Maybe. His time is running out though as I have a coup planned to turn him into Kun next week if City earn a DGW. And then there is Romelu Bookaku in actually terrible form but one must assume in this moment home Sunderland is as good a fixture as you can possibly have sooooo…..

CAP: I’m just following the herd this week with Romelu. I think Mane is a shout for sure but Rom will be huuuuuuugely captained and despite his bad form / lack of trustworthy underlying stats he’s shown that he’s capable of exploding this season so as much blanking is a real threat so is 3+ goals which is… scenic.
