One of either Cancelo(liv), Trippier(mun) or Perisic(EVE) will be on the bench alongside Andreas(BOU), so no doubt I'll pick the wrong one. You'd imagine Perisic should play based on the fixture but he's not a guaranteed starter and I don't want to risk a 10 miunte cameo. Cancelo is away to Liverpool but then they're a bit shite at the moment. You think they'd score though. And Trippier is capable of assists but United have scored in every home game this season so you're relying on an attacking return. Plan is to roll the FT. It won't be Cancelo, you know that at least. If Perisic plays in the CL this week I'll prob take him out of my team, too much rotation. 4 sub appearances and once hooked before 60 mins. The blank GW is a bit of a problem with 4 assets not playing. KDB, Perisic and Patterson will have to come out and then after I'll get Foden in instead of KDB. Neco Williams has also lost his place too. Problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problems! i'm tempted to make my defence up of just fodder. 4.5m CBs that play 90 mins pretty much guaranteed and have 2 of them on the bench each week. there's just no value anymore. even reece james isn't safe apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2022 Yeah you can't be moving the armband off Haaland at the moment. The risk is too high, and even if he blanks, so many people have him as captain that the consequences of that blank are minimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2022 Even this week where, on paper, it would ordinarily be their toughest fixture of the season, Liverpool are probably missing 3 defenders and cheat code just sat out the Copenhagen game. Plus it's the kind of game where the City players will want to crush Liverpool and make a point. I think the only alternatives to Haaland this week would be Foden and De Bruyne. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go anywhere else. i really did consider kane or mitrovic but in light of liverpool's injury problems plus haaland getting rested there's absolutely no chance kane is just kinda ticking along at the moment, rather than getting real hauls and bournemouth seem to have tightened things up now.

Stevo985 Posted October 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2022 Liverpool aren't really liverpool at the moment either. Sure they could turn it on at any point and click, but like you say with their injuries, and the fact they're shipping multiple goals to teams like Brighton, it would be a very brave man to go against Haaland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm going to have to start planning the GW12 fixture blank this week. I have Cancello, KDB, Haarland and Martinelli, so one of them needs to go. Plus I have a Mitrovic & Bailey issue and much depends on that I will be swapping out KDB next week and he will be replaced by Foden after the blank week. This to me is a no brainer and I'd do it this week if it wasn't for the Mitro / Bailey issue I have my eye on a cheap Mitro replacement and a just sub 7mil midfielder to replace Bailey. This is currently going to take all my spare cash but will give me a still semi decent team for GW12 (there is no way I can play an effective midfield in 12 from Bailey / Martinelli / KDB / Rashford / Zaha). Selling Martinelli is out of the question as I've had him from the start and he's increased so much (same for Haarland too) even Cancello has a slight financial hit. So those three are just going to be benched in 12. Which gives me a semi decent team for the blank week and a lot of cash to further rebuild after GW13 And holy F*** I now have a Reece James injury to deal with too - argggghhhhh!

I'm not convinced that many premiums are actually worth it this season. Son / Salah / Sterling / TAA etc are not worth their pricepoint, plenty of cheaper options just as good right now I'm rebuilding around a flexible 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 as defence with a few exceptions is not where the points are.
