Yep,

I'm considering punting O'reilly in defense in a week or 2 to get Cherki in Mid.

I think Pep has finally realised Cherki unlocks a lot of attacking options especially against low blocks, even if he doesn't necessarily want that kind of player normally.

I think Cherki in real life is in the top 5 players in the league. He is deadset a baller.

Pulled the trigger. Oreilly to Gabriel and Rice to Cherki.
Enjoy watching Cherki too much to be without him.

Hold transfers for a few weeks for the huge Chelsea fixture run.

52 points on BB.
Timber not showing up didn’t help, neither did the Chalobah zero pointer. All told the BB was worth 4 points.
For the second week in a row I was saved by a keeper.
It should be enough for at least a grey arrow but if Spurs and Leeds could score that would help.

FH time now for me too Milo Cyrus. the main goal is not to get outscored by my non FH team.
I’ll post some thoughts when Ive had more of a think about it.
 
Thoughts, Theories?
I don’t like double Chelsea defence. I don’t really like Chelsea defence at all but at least it’s a home fixture and James offers attacking potential.
not sure how James and Frimpong will go backing up midweek. do they get managed?

Other than that I like it. It’s very similar to what I’ve thrown together.

the front 2 are locked.

so is the midfield except for Szobo who could be Cherki, Schade, Palmer, Rice, Bruno G, Saka

in defence the only one locked is Dalot. I’ve got no idea where to go with the other 2 or GK. do I cover the Arsenal defence or bet against it? fullbacks for attacking returns or centre backs for DC? Gabriel, Keane, VVD, Lewis-Potter, Hall, Thiaw, NOR, Dorgu all decent options.

I hate doing this already. I know I’m going to **** it up…it’s so much easier when you can play it in a blank/double.
 
Playing against a free hitter in cup. He is done, I am 3 points back with Alderate go play. We got the close one Cotton

Current team, and rough plan over next month (GW19 - 22, until AFCON is done and the midweek games end for a bit, and presumably no DGW or BGW).

IMG_4852.jpeg


Priority outs:
1. Senesi - essentially any time, likely to get good minutes and Defcons, but no clean sheet any time soon
2. NoR / VVD after next GW - either/ both
3. Grealish - bad pick really
4. Thiago - from 22 onwards

Priority ins:
1. Utd defender asap - Dorgu or Dalot unsure, probably Dorgu to save money

2. Cunha

3. Gabriel after 21.

4. Palmer after 21

5. Watkins - I think he is back, and will be good value especially from 22, but any time from 20 really.

**

2.2 ITB, 1 FT

So probably thinking
19:
Senesi to United
And maybe Grealish to Cunha for a hit

And then hopefully

20-22:
Thiago to Watkins
VVD to Gabriel
and probably need to be Saka to Palmer

But going to be short on cash!

Actually, realised Grealish was more illness than disciplinary, so probably ok for a few GW, and think I’ll bank the points for Semenyo and cut and run from him with their fixtures and his potential move, so would be ok to make those later moves.

lots to ponder. i'll look again before lock out.

be careful with Pope. I don’t know if he’s fit enough to start yet. That’s why I have Ramsdale too.
Palmers minutes are a concern.
Palmer wasn't happy getting hauled off, which is good news to me.
Back to Sanchez from Pope it is.

Any wild and wacky ideas to have fun with it?
Anti-FPL (lowest score wins). I’m not sure how it works but I know it’s a thing.
No Haaland
Different captain every week.
Only pick Welsh players.
….there’s a ton of possibilities.

If you still want to aim for the best rank possible then back your gut, keep it simple and things will turn. Chasing rank almost always backfires.
We’re only halfway through the season with blanks and doubles to come. There will be opportunity for big swings. A top 100k finish is still on the cards.

You are probably right. My other captain choices this year have been shocking. Hopefully the only way is up.
