Arsenal 17 matches played in all competition this season, 15 goals conceded., 9 clean sheets .
Liverpool 17 matches played in all competition, 17 goals conceded , 4 clean sheets.

Arsenal aren't as bad as Liverpool but after City defense my top rating are Crystal palace and Newcastle.


I didn't see such defense against Chelsea few weeks ago nor did I see them against Westham and Newcastle. Lol

At the end of the day it's always up to the player, fitness coach really can't if a player isn't fit enough for a game, there are no tests that could determine if a player his actually fit enough, some players are always eager to get back on the pitch and once a player have been able complete several full contact training session with the full squad, and the player often times don't hide that they still have some small discomfort and it's always not the fitness coach managers fault in this case, there is no better way to integrate him back into squad to gain proper match fitness than bringing him in after with 25 minutes left to go in an already wrapped up game against even a more so against a team like Ajax that aren't doing well by any means currently, it's just an unfortunate incident. I just don't think either the fitness coach or the manager would find it necessary to bring him on if they knew they'd taking any risk at all.

--------------------------

Transferring Maddison and Haaland out early enough after their respective injury scare was not a move solely influenced by lack of patience, but it was more tactical approach from me because I was already looking to be rid of either Son Heung-Min or Maddison himself to make room for an Arsenal midfielder Saka or Martinelli, and Haaland not being at he's best of form too was already something I was considering to have two more options upfront while Man City plays their next couple of fixtures which are all going to be against tough opponents.

I took quite a bit of points hit for this game week, and it is a really needed move for me, ngl.

It cannot be my Arsenal you Chelsh*t supporter

If you saw the Arsenal against Manchester City game, you will see how close the defense of the both teams were. Even Doku who is very fast and good in 1v1 situations could not complete a dribble.

Where are you getting your info? Report that site as scam
Actual stats are even more in your favor.

Top 5 defenses in PL this season:
1. Man City
2. Arsenal
3. Liverpool
4. Newcastle
5. Chelsea

So out of 4 clubs you mentioned, literally 3 are in top 5 and NFO is solid at 8th place. If we are targeting fixture for attackers than Sheffiled and Burnley are the teams to target, They are conceding roughly 3 goals for every goal above mentioned teams concede.

Who are you rating as top defense except for City?

With Brendford facing Liverpool, Arsenal, Luton, and Brighton, there was plenty of reason to put Bowen and Doku ahead of him. Liverpool and Arsenal have terrible defences, but I doubt Mbuemo would score against them.

Bowen at home against a terrible Nottingham Forest defence and Doku on the LW against Colwill, this is going to be entertaining.

Instead of Doku you should've bought Mbeumo. People say the Liverpool fixture is hard but we have been very bad in defense for the past week and Luton & Toulouse were able to put some goals behind the net.

Also has favorable fixtures after GW14.

Visited the site with my mobile and I saw a bunch of ads at the bottom corner of the website.

This has been Maddison's issue and the reason why big teams didn't go after him; he's a brilliant playmaker but spends too much time on the sidelines; he had a similar knock with Halaand, but Halaand is already back and running. I was forced to make two early transfers: Bowen for Maddison and Doku for Sterling. £1.4m saved


Blame the fitness coach who declared him fit to Play. The manager was only doing his job trying to manage and  to defend the goal.

He played for 12 mins, three minutes less I blame the coach, maybe he should not have played Estupinan when they were already two goals ahead and could have managed without him since he was just new from injuries.

It is no concern of mine though, I had him before and earned me some good points in some GW, but I am not going back to him even if he recovers.

We are in urgent need of another player to share the role with Saka so he can rest more often since he is becoming a target for defenders and now more likely to get injured. Arteta needs to get another player in the next window.

What adds? That is the site I use for price changes and I have never seen a single ad. Currently not working since they are calibrating their algorithm or something. Should be up tomorrow after we have a price rise and price fall.

Only big news from pressers today is Maddsion injury, he will be out until January it seems. Hard and fast sell for me before he drops in price. Too bad i have so munch money tied in him.

Seemed minor, but I am positive he won't be playing this weekend.
I also have him in my team but have benched him already - won't be replacing him due to an easy schedule that's coming to Brighton.

They had 3 injuries yesterday - but I feel that almost nobody has Dunk or Milner so I guess it's not that important to mention.

Too many ads. I hate sites like this, someone could click an unwanted links without knowing. I use some of the stats bot on Twitter for price prediction and injury updates.

What happened to Estu last night? After spending a long period on the sidelines due to injury, he came on in the second half and played for 15 minutes before leaving injured again. He was almost certainly going to take Gusto's spot in my team this weekend, but it's all over now.

Does anyone use this site? I can't see any price increase data.

@nelson4lov and Smartvirus sorry still haven't figured out how to quote only the relevant parts so quoted your posts manually.

I understand somehow I just wrongfully assumed that a goalkeeper can't get the full amount of bonus points after conceding.
Yes on paper Watkins looked like a good choice it's just my decisions are sometimes too impulsive 


I will always have a special affiliation with mighty Luton Town have won the Champions League with them when I was addicted to a game called Football Manager 2012 (Sega) 
But yes they were very fortunate that Darwin was so wasteful but its's quite impressive that Son, Watkins and now Salah couldn't score against them.
They surely are a trap for (C) will be interesting to see if Haaland can do anything against the might that Luton Town is 

Latest news from Arsenal and Arteta is that Saka should be fine after the few knocks he received last night against Sevilla which saw him subsequently subbed off. I am relieved as I feel he could score big against Burnley this Saturday, he could also be considered as a differential captain for this game week if you want to move away from Haaland and Salah. Honestly there is at least 5 potential players the arm band could go to this week, which definitely can help some of us get ahead or take us down the rankings, I also believe there will be a much higher average score this round and maybe some of us can even hit a 3 digit haul.
This game is just too exciting, is it Saturday yet? Good luck fellas!

If we look at it from the point where we have to fall back to a week where Watkins had better point records, then we just might be gambling the whole thing with very little to bank on for an assurance on who could actually swipe the point board.

I think the anticipation here was that, Manchester Cuty had a UCL game and with Bournemouth not looking like a team that could pose any threat, have had relatively bad season this far and are here visitors at the Etihad, it’s a much expectation that, Manchester City will easily win that game and there you would have Pep withdraw his big guns back to the Arsenal in preparation for the UCL fixtures.
It’s not far from what happened but, no one expected E. Haaland not to get a goal out of 45minutes of game play.

Mighty Luton Town, Lol…
You know it’s actually funny to hear you say that just because, the managed to hold Liverpool at bay, got the lead with Liverpool only coming to get a draw at the last minutes. Well, they were really a mighty team but, I just don’t know how Darwin get to send that ball right over the cross bar in the face of goal.

Alison Becker managed at least 4 saves in that game in contrast to Kaminski who had 5 saves. That isn’t so bad to get 3 points over.

Imo, it depends. There was a game week where Watkins outperformed Haaland. In such a game week, giving Watkins the armband was a better call. Because it didn't work out for Gw10 doesn't mean it was an overly bad decision from your end. I wouldn't say so. Who would've thought Haaland would shine in Man Utd game when it's a public knowledge that he's not so effective in big games?

Also, Allison was solid in that Luton game. Liverpool could've lost by 2-4 goal margin if not for his solid saves.

I'm always panicking when I see the injury box and transferred out Cash for Guehi which wasn't very smart but not a surprising move from someone who (C) Watkins over Haaland in GW 10 

Not that I'm complaining but the bonus points system looks a little bit flawed.
Still not sure how Alisson Becker got 3 bonus points against mighty Luton Town.

Maddison also had a knock, so it's not a big concern; I see some managers have already moved him; sometimes I wonder why certain managers make transfers right after the week's last game. Harkorede, I'm surprised you let Halaand go so quickly, like you couldn't even wait for Pep CL's pre-game conference.

Patience is a virtue in this game, I already had 3 transfers booked for Monday when Maddison injury happened, and immediately decided to wait till deadline. I can't make those transfers anymore but I will rather make informed decision than save 0.1M. This means I will be without Nketiah but can better react to Maddison news and Haaland/Cash news. Haaland/Cash are already confirmed fine, now just to wait out that one more.

I learnt not to react too quickly whenever there is an injury scare for any of my players. I was not surprised to see Haaland play in their Champions league game yesterday and he even scored two goals that ensured that Manchester City qualify for the next round.

Manchester City's GW12 fixture is against Chelsea, and Chelsea have so far this season shown to play well against big teams, and Haaland on the other hand is not a very reliable player when Manchester City play big teams  although he scored against Manchester United. It is possible that Haaland blanks in the game against Chelsea if the Defenders can do a great job of cutting the supply away from him like Arsenal were able to successfully do.

In that Manchester City's visit to the bridge this coming GW, Cole Palmer will also be in focus.
