My Saka replacement shortlist:
Palmer
Doku
Foden
Kroupi Jr
Manzambi
Palmer is the obvious one, but so template.
Man City mids high risk, high reward.
Kroupi and Manzambi players I want in future, could just get now and play Gross this week.
Thoughts??
Tav seems popular this week.
But is anyone else worried that Kroupi Jr being back makes him a worse option?
Ahead of Tav in the penalty pecking order and early subs could become more frequent with another attacking option, especially as Kroupi Jr isn’t eligible for Europe.
The Saka injury is a massive kick in the teeth.
Was a real differential against early WC teams.
I don’t see who to get other than Palmer, but then its just the same triple Arsenal defence, triple Chelsea attack, De Cuyper, Gross, DCL team that everyone else has.
I’d be lying if I said watching Liverpool concede 3 times, knowing I plan to bench both Brighton assets this week, didn’t make me extremely nervous!
A decent TC haul and a big green arrow, I should be happy…
But…
I needed 4 points to win a decent chunk of money in a weekly cash league.
The exact amount of points Konsa outscored Muharemovic by, which was genuinely my only 50/50 this week.
Frustrating!
Looking at my 🚌 team and seeing both Gross and MDC on the bench is making me uneasy.
What would you change?
Really hope Van Hecke comes through tomorrow.
Making that transfer led to me benching Konsa, who I seen as 2 or 6 points, silly me.
No pressure lad.
Crystal Palace have absoluted caved.
This is what I was hoping for when I went NFO heavy last week lol
Play Konsa or Muharemovic?
Am I wrong to see this as a floor vs ceiling pick?
Higher CS odds for the former but more chance of DC and/or an attacking return for the latter.
Leaning Muharemovic currently
Do I need to cancel my TC?
I have the 🐐 VC, but a cameo would be PAIN
This week looks like a great entry point for Van Hecke, some fantastic upcoming H fixtures.
Cheap enough that he can be used in a rotation.
Has only actually hit DEFCON twice, but has hit a minimum of 8 DC in three other games.
0.2XGi/90 and has already scored.
Thinking of making an early move tonight.
Munoz -> Van Hecke
Munoz has been an extremely frustrating own, his underlying attacking numbers have been good (0.6 XGi last game alone) but has delivered 3 points so far, set to drop in price, and upcoming fixtures look poor for CS
Players I picked on WC5 to differentiate from WC3:
Saka (missed one on one which would also have earned bonus, 2 points)
MGW (Captained, Could have had 3 returns, 1 would have earned 3 bonus, 2 points)
Munoz (0.63 XGi, 1 point)
Just seen the Delap miss from 5 yards.
Would have been a MGW assist which would also have been 3 bonus. -12 points on that miss.
Considering that was the second time MGW hit tbe bar I feel absolutely robbed as a Captainer.
4 Clean Sheets and a penalty save for NI during the International break.
Back to Club football and another penalty save.
Alongside the best distribution you are ever likely to to see from a GK.
What a player!!!
