Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s.



WALSH

Transfers:

OUT: Kane - sorry lad I love you I hope you understand

IN: KUNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Ended up following through with the pod discussion of Kane out for Kun. Feels shitty to remove Kane after his absurd cap haul for me last week but he’s got a fairly poor on paper fixture followed by a blank so he got the chop instead of Zlatz. I am expecting to play with this forward slot and get Lukaku in for Aguero next week but who cares about next week. Kun for DGW feels a must. Also feels great to have my best friend back in FPL. Maybe I’ll keep Kun..who knows. After much deliberation I have decided to not go in on a hit for a City mid. It would be an easier decision if I had a midfielder who doesn’t have a game in GW28 but as it is they all do so taking a hit and not captaining a midfielder from City feels like spinning wheels. It’s still 2 games in 2 gameweeks for a City mid or any of my other fucks. Hopefully my differential of not taking a hit will be a good thing.

GK: Standard Tom. Ho hum. Kill for an away clean…was so close for one last week until that fucking pen. Good sign they didn’t concede from open play. Eh but a clean means a Siggy blank. I don’t know what I want.

DEF: Will be going with Baines, Alonso, and Brunt. Baines bad fixture…still praying for a pen. The one game where I feel actually better to have him than Coleman. Cue a Coleman goal. Alonso standard friend…we’ll see what he ends up with. And finally, Brunt. Brunt on the shortest of leashes and will be a candidate for the chop immediately after GW28. We’ll see. I’m sure he’ll get robbed of an assist again. But, it’s a home game, so maybe he’ll come in with a big score who knows.

MID: Not the best on paper fixtures for my midfield quartet this weekend. I’m sticking by Barkley at Spurs and mostly for his game in 28. Hopefully he gets me some points over the next couple of weeks. Mane and Phil go at home to Arsenal…hoping for an open game and a goalfest. Feel pretty good about it. Mane should have a rocket up his ass after a horrendous showing against Leicester on Monday. Finally, the ever reliable Sigmund has Burnley at home. Not expecting that one to have loads of goals but as usual if Swansea do bang any home it is likely that Siggy is involved. He’s been great since I got him…hasn’t blanked since GW21….he’s a classy lad. Will probably hold for a while until the big DGWs and shit.

FWD: Defoe - come on you little bro. Agonizingly close to that goal last weekend against Everton off the bottom of the bar and out and he’s on two straight blanks since I got him. It would be very unsurprising to see him pop up with a brace against City. I feel like he’s going to have a nice game for me this weekend. Zlatan comes back off his blank and brace in the Cup final with a tremendous fixture home against Bournemouth. Hoping for some big returns from him. Finally, Kun. What is there to say. DGW Kun it is time.

*TRIPLE* CAP: TRIPLE CAP KUN. I’m firing on it. Fuck it. I was shouting it on the pod and I’m going to follow the pod and go for 12 point Kun goals. The fixtures are too nice and the form is too great to ignore and I don’t want to be backed into a corner later in the season where there are so many unknowns. Sure Zlatan or Alexis feels like a better and safer triple cap on a DGW but who knows maybe they both die within the next two months. In Kun I trust.

ALON

Transfers:

OUT: Lukaku and Alli

IN (for -4 points): Kun and Sterling

So I’m all in fuckers. I want Kun to want me and it feels very nice having him back in the squad, especially on a double gameweek. Spoiler alert he’s my captain and I’m gonna rise a million places this week :):):)… Romelu to Kun wasn’t a tough decision for me, we talked about it on the pod too, with Rom @ White Hart Lane his ceiling is very low, and I will just bring him back into my side for Kun next week most likely.

The other transfer is the one I realized after we podded and we didn’t really discuss it at all. But it’s simple as this, transferring someone out who has one fixture between GW27 and GW28 for someone who has two fixtures between the two is simple maths. It makes a -4 a -2 right off the bat, and then add in the fact that Alli has a relatively tough attacking fixture against Everton and Sterling has two bankers, it’s job done. So I have three City guys and one Stoke guy. This is my week I’m telling you. The return of Alon.

GK: Lee Grant double gameweek love. Home ‘Boro the best fixture anyone can have in hopes for a cleansheet.. It would just be sooooo tidy if it started off right because the next match is at the Ethiad.. gimme a clean and a combined like 10 saves between two games.. seems realistic to me :).

DEF: I’m in a 4-4-2 this week but unfortunately not expecting many points from the back. Bainesy is now just a sad player to own despite the terrific returns it feels like a net loss of points every week when Coleman does him in. At Totty pretty awful fixture not much of a shout for a clean but hey who knows maybe this’ll be the week we get a pen. Alonso natural start every week for the rest of the season god legend. Fed Fernandez making his debut in my side with a terrific home banker vs Burnley. Real clean potential here which would be very nice. Knowing life they will not clean but Alfie Mawson will dong since everyone brought him in. And lastly another chance at points in my side for Andy Robertson but at Leicester, is that good anymore? Are they good now? I don’t even know what to expect in this one but I still have some faith in Hull’s overall organization and gameplan.

MID: I’m a proper powder blue Man City fuckboi this weekend and it feels great. New old friend Razza Sterling comes in with the delightful double and joining him is Prince Harry AKA Pure Kev, KDB. A lot of games boys… Maybe KDB will redeem himself after getting me 2 points and 3 points in the two weeks I capped him. Rounding out the mids, Mane is still here. People who are freaking out about making a mistake doing Alexis to Mane need to calm the fuck down. He blanked one week, it was a bad weird game, he’s fine. I’ll still take two Mane games over one Alexis game all day. Back to back homes, he’ll probably score a brace in one of’em, very happy to have Sadio. And lastly Snoddy. I knew at the time of getting Snoddy that I’m just being a dumb bitter fuck by getting him and not Siggy and yep that proved to be exactly right. Siggy is automatic returns every single week and Snoddy is yet to break the duck. But, honestly, whatever, fuck Siggy, he’s on my “to kill” list and will remain there. I’m bad enough rank that holding grudges is something I have the privilege of doing.. Snod home Chelsea, good luck you fuck.

FWD: Only two forwards make this side this GW with the Smashley Barnes red card but they’re two gooooooood ones. Kunny Kun Kun comes in after a long (too long) absence from my squad with the double fuckfest. And Ibra with the maybe best fixture in the league home to a Bournemouth side who cannot NOT concede goals for fun it’s just how they roll. I expect a ton of points here.

*TRIPLE* CAP: SOUND THE ALARMS Y’ALL THE TRIPLE CAP CHIP HAS BEEN PLAYED AND YOU ALREADY KNOWWWWWWWWW IT’S KUN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Walsh made a ton of sound points on the pod and I think he’s spot on. You never really get this lineup of form and fixtures, it’s usually one or the other just by chance. Kun has both. Ridiculously hot fire form and very very good fixtures. It’s time, I believe it is time. I’M BACK BABY…. I hope.
