alreadyexists Posted August 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2023 But to Haaland or not Haaland? So far he’s in my draft, but I’m wavering… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Really want Kane to leave so I don't have to worry about having him in my squad. Took him out to strengthen my midfield but not sure if I'll regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Community Shield last year he played, it could be that Pep has switched first choice keepers as Ederson did get quite a bit of stick last season and Pep had to come to his defence but also saying that Ortega was pushing Ederson and that he liked the competition for places. I'm just thinking as a £4mil sub keeper it may be worth a punt if Ederson has been dropped. It's not like I'm going to play my sub keeper in GW1`anyway and I can always switch to Areola when I have a spare free transfer I've no use for (ha!) Nothing more than a punt really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more than a punt really I'd say there's almost zero chance Ederson has been dropped. He's the best keeper in the league, bar maybe Alisson. Matt Turner is the £4m option now assuming Forest don't sign another keeper. Wasting a transfer on your sub keeper isn't something I want to be doing.

BOF Posted August 7, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2023 I think Bicks should definitely use a City spot on their cup keeper. Bravery wins titles. Hell of a differential etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a differential etc Absolutely know what you are saying, until two days ago I had three Citeh outfield players in my draft, not worth the rotation risk apart from haaland and their prices are too high, I don't actually envisage having more than two outfielders with their prices. Never say never and all that but I have plenty of City spots available right now I don't think I ever had more than 2 at a time last season either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2023 The only way Ortega makes sense is if you also have Ederson to be honest. And you're just gambling on always having the City keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 if he's staying , Kane will more likely play more games than Haaland , and was only 9 pts off him last season with a shit Spuds team , but for £1.5m cheaper problem is if you don't pick Haaland from the start and then Kane leaves it will bloody difficult to get him back in your team I'm gonna have to make a call on this soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2023 mcginn again mentioning his new more forward role under emery and targeting more goals this year. really, really want to find a place for him in my team but just can't at the moment. guarantee he'll be in a few teams at some point this season decided on emi as my keeper though. something tells me clean sheets will be hard to come by this season. more minutes played in games, lots of goals in the 90+ period of games so you want a keeper that makes saves of which he certainly does. i had 1m in the bank at one point but decided to spend it all with the view that it's easier to go from watkins to someone like jackson than the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
