Stevo985 Posted November 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2022 One week punt should be Perisic to be honest. I sold him this week so I probably won't do it myself out or principle, but with Son out he was effectively playing as a number 10 yesterday. Looked very threatening, could have had an assist and he hit the post and the bar. With Son needing minor surgery, Perisic is likely to take up the same position next week I imagine.

Typical that I did it the week he gets moved up front. Although I finally got Trippier in for him so it's definitely worked out this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need a -4 to get him, though, unless I want to give up great fixtures (on paper) for TAA or Cancelo, or lose 0.3 transferring Trippier out and then back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2022 Current dilemma for my one week punt. In short do I turn Mitrovic into Kane or into Darwin. But Darwin comes with a stronger partner (Foden). The good, first. I already own Perisic and Salah. I have 2 FTs and £1.9m ITB. I can turn Mitrovic into Kane home to Leeds if I downgrade Foden to a 5.5 or less (Olise, Bailey/Ramsey). The upside is a threemium with the firepower of Kane against a poor Leeds defence. Or I can turn Mitrovic into Darwin and keep Foden. The upside being that both together against Southampton and Brentford, on their day could easily outscore Kane + the weaker mid. Up to yesterday I was fully committed to the Kane switch. But now... last night Kane looked leggy and I'm not as confident in him hauling as I have been. I also think Foden, having been rested last night, looks in my view like he'll start against Brentford (famous last words). It would be typical to sell him just as he returns. This is now much more of a coin toss than it was. I could wait until team news But we know how that went last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2022 Oh and fantasy things that cheer you up. A quarter of a million people selling Cancelo before a home game against Brentford because they don't understand red cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitter, me, nah I think with my free this week i'm going Mount for Saka, I've trying not to go for him as I want more of a differential but I may end up doing it anyway as Almiron is even less of a differential. I'm sticking with Foden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitter, me, nah I'm sticking with Foden My reasoning is he has started all the CL games and then missed the league ones. Perfect rotation. But then this week with no CL, the sequence should have been that he starts the Carabao Cup tie, yet he didn't. So SURELY that means league ... I know it doesn't, but I'm thinking he will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen those. I'll go find them. But it's all pointing me towards bringing in Darwin instead. I have a money mini-league rival with 6.3ITB and I'd put my house on the fact he'll bring in Kane this week. 31 minutes ago, tomav84 said: i guess it depends on how quick your fingers are if the early team news says foden is benched again! you could set the transfers up with the possibility that foden is benched and just execute if the team news says he's benched? should be able to do that before it crashes Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I'd have to do. You'd have no chance otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
