What are your thoughts on Salah and Trent for the DGW?

Salah must be first choice for sure, he is the only that will play 180 minutes unless some injury or red card happen. I can see all other attackers and both Trent & Robbo as minutes risk. They will play a lot but not 2 full games.

Problem is, Salah is so damn expensive so not easy to include in our mid. I want another Liverpool player as well but have no idea who will that be at this moment.

I really love the thoughts of Firmino or Diogo Jota from Liverpool but both players have only just returned from their injury spell so, I really can't pick one, but Nunez availability would hinder their game minutes imo, however from what I learnt today, Nunez have chances of facing Real Madrid, if that's the case there is huge possibility of him not start during the weekend, or playing maybe just only one of the double fixtures.

Trent is a no no for me still, especially due to the prize value he commands and I'll need the assurance that they'll stand a chance of a clean sheet at least before I can have a defender that costly.

This was my thought on Friday before switching my captain from Rashford to Halaand; I was concerned about his game time due to the upcoming LC final and EL marches, and he went on to score two goals; I believe Trent does not have a good backup, and he's another player who will likely play all minutes.

You are right about Salah, I'm thinking of getting Gakpo instead.

I'm kicking myself right now because I had Rashford as my captain until Friday, and I still don't understand why I went back to Halaand; I guess I wasn't confident enough to stick to my original plan, another rusty decision.

My team is overdue for wildcard, Botman, Martinelli, Mitrovic and co needs to leave now.

I'm going to take another penalty week for sure, need to clear out team, luckily only Rashford out, and I can sweep another couple more maybe under the rug.

It's tight up there right now, and a - point will cost me my position, so now is the time to use the last Chip and set up the team for the upcoming blank weeks and DGW. I can't believe I considered bringing Darwin into my team in place of Mitrovic for the DGW, but I can't stand another 2-3 weeks of "he will start scoring soon, give him time." I'm glad the thought of having him has gone away after his injury news..

Pope was actually my go to keeper early part, and for a time considered putting back in but of course GK's my least urgent part of the team that needs fixing.

Rashford. What to say?

Nick Pope's time on my team has finally come to an end no doubt, but I'm more surprised you're still considering whether or not to bring in Rashford to your team ? Man has been very consistent lately and is worth more than is value.

After some impressive Mahrez performance Guardiola still decided to drop him to the bench, maybe the only 3 players worth having on that roster is Ederson, KDB and Haaland, unless you want keep playing a good guessing game week in, week out.

Oh no he's in my team, has been since the Triple card played Wink

I was like Trofo, wondering to switch him in for Fernandes but my bank account said nope.

So 2 guessing weeks for me, and 2 not-so-bad returns. Even Robbo is pretty good for me. I'll keep him in, maybe bring back... Nunez haha.

Ticking along nicely as expected, kicking myself for not having the balls to stick with Rashford, would be a very nice 30 pointer from him. At least Fernandez delivered 12 points so that could help me a little bit to offset the deficit.

Too bad United doesn't have a game next week, really don't want to sell any of those players but some will have to go.

this guessing game requires to much transfers IMO, and there are better options
had three City players due to double week, but will probably cut some in future weeks, Akanji and Mahrez had no time on the pitch this week at all

Rashford is probably best pick, considering price and form

Exactly, you really can't play mind gamess with Guardiola's team, he use certain players for the oddest reason and bench the best for no apparent reason.

I know people who regretting their decision of not keeping Haaland as their captain, I actually never considered him, especially with Man City facing one the teams with the most conceded goals, I could have overlooked Haaland, but had he been out injured, then Rashford would have been go to person without any form of doubt.

The weeks that would decided a lot of things are finally coming upon us gradually, and from blanks to dgw and to blanks again, these are finest margin to make the best decisions.

Ya I made a big mistake with Haaland too -- and as usual forgot to look at my picks properly (I already selected the team early, best call was to take out Newcastle players just before the hammering they got to their defence).

Liverpool has started picking points and they are getting better every day, so there is still a potential for them to finish in the top 4.

I really don't know what to say about the team, they look somewhat better, but not very convincing if you ask, and they could be worth a short for the double game week, but Salah still look so sharp or as dreadful as he used to be, TAA on the other hand was a very brilliant player and him doing more offensive work, rather than defensive duties made him look very special today.

I really can't figure the best way forward but a Liverpool triple isn't on the cards for just yet until, I'm sure the folks have an idea of what they're doing Newcastle could easily have score a couple of goals despite being a man down.

Did not watch a match but I could see that even from the stats. Doesn't really matter in the end, we all know Liverpool has the quality and form was the problem. 2:0 against Newcastle will do wonders for their self-esteem and I am expecting them to continue with good results. I am taking two Liverpool players for the double, Salah is one of them for sure simply because we know he plays 90 minutes. Nobody else is that secure with minutes. I don't know who will be second Liverpool player, still judging between Trent/Robbo and Nunez/Gakpo.

Trent and Robno were impressive but I'm not convinced and won't be considering either in my team, I may consider Salah for the GW 25 but I wasn't impressed with his performance yesterday and his goal stats in the last 5 games aren't encouraging either.

I thought Halaand would take advantage of Nottingham's injuries at the back and drop a bang, not sticking with Rashford as my captain will hurt me if he scores

bringing in Tarkowski, and Sean Dyche is starting with reelgation fight at our best

important win, to push Leeds into relegation zone, Bournemouth won important duel as well, Chelsea is a real shit, expected clean sheet from them
Arsenal will win title only if City lost it, and they are playing with their chances

Todd Boehly needs to swallow his pride this time and get Potter fired if he wants a long term project. Potter is clearly not the man to sustain that project, but the English media will always urge you to trust the process. He has the resources, yet he is unable to use them. We struggle against the best team and also looked horrible against the weak side, which shows the current state of the team. The moment I learned about Southampton's winless streak, I just felt that Chelsea was going to be their first victory.

I had a lot of good decisons this week and a couple of bad ones. Unfortunately all that wasn't good enough to get some serious points.
1. I brought in Tarkowski which proved great, he is my only player with retun this week
2. I kept White in my team since I was sure he will start before Tomiyasu and he did, but Arsenal conceeded 2 goals so no gain
3. I wanted to buy James but decided to wait, bullet doged here
4. I wanted to bring Saka but decided to wait, screwed this one
5. I benched Trippier and sold Botman since I expected problems against Liverpool but it did not help much since Trippier will still get in for Mahrez
6. I had Rashford as captain but changed to Haaland in last minute, this one is still on the fence but probably another bad one.

I have big hopes for next couple GW, people will have a lot of problems in them.

Careful planning and chip strategy will be essential, as i expect to see some significant rank swings in the next 7-8 GWs.

I remember having a lot of fun around this time last year, and it was also during that time i gained the most rank. I'm crossing my fingers that this is the case again Grin

What's also interesting is that there will be legit multiple captaincy options almost every GW, not just Haaland...and that's kinda important.

Don't plan to much, you have to give the rest of us a chance to catch up

I can already tell you that we will lose most of the remaining casual players and probably some players in this pool by the end of week 28. More then half of the most transferred in players in last 20 days doesn't have a fixture in GW25 and GW28. Will be fun when those managers realize that. Free hit if they still have one will only cover one of those weeks and then comes resignation and giving up. I am not buying Kilman and Tarkowski because I am mesmerized with their performances they are there just to cover those weeks and cheap enough to be on the bench in normal and double game weeks.

Starting with this week, I could give Rashford another chance for captain band, he did deliver for me on TC.

Rashford have been pretty solid and very consistent since after the world cup break, and looks like a very viable captain choice, but playing Leicester is making me roll my eyes, and I'm not sure if Kane is still worth having right now, he's been very quite in all Tottenham recent games, and it looks like the only way he would get a goal is through a penalty, because he doesn't even put his opponents CBs in a tough situation trying to keep him out the box, I don't know of any more disorganized team than this Tottenham side, is seems Conte just put some random 11 players on the pitch with no clearer instructions or he just wants them to go figure it out themselves on the pitch.
