These guys doing the MOTD challenge. Was brilliant last time.
Presented by The Golden Ticket - For Medallion Club tickets and Corporate Box tickets at the MCG and Marvel.
The MOTD challenge is awesome, though never thought of it with a fantasy slant. Might try it on the final day!
KDB worked a treatNewcastle are playing away. They a totally different team.
Crazy swings. One of the wildest seasons I can remember. I play aggressive and go against salah and he hauls, I play defensive and stick with him over kdb and he blanks.Guttered KDB hit the post near the end.
Massive swings this round. Moved from 52k to 31k. KDB captain, 131 (-4) and still have 4 to play. FH activated for 37.
Going unique or boring for 37 you reckon?Guttered KDB hit the post near the end.

Very niceFor me it's a blend. Take the most popular picks (Pickford, Richy, Gordon, Zaha, Cash, Ings (?)) with a few SGW players to cover off the non-FHers (Son, Kane, Salah, Robbo), with some differential swords. At this stage have Digne to round out the XI but not sure how I feel about double Villa defence. Have Trossard first sub since I don't mind having him as a back up off the bench. Would love to fit a City mid in but hard to pick it with the budget. Could go against Salah but that Soton fixture is juicy.

I have 2 options both would leave 0.0 in the bank (lucky i have decent team value):
A: Pickford
TAA, Cancello, Cash, Digne
KDB, Salah, Zaha, Son
Watkins, Rich
Ben: Gordon, Cheap, Cheap
B: TAA, Cash, Digne
KDB, Salah, Zaha, Son, Gordon
Vardy, Rich
Ben: cheap cheap cheap
Love having Cancelo and having a bench doubler. Could even switch them.
A would be a more defensive approach to those not on a FH as everyone has Cancelo. They do have West Ham who are in good scoring form and city are losing CBs left right and centre.
I actually don't mind B. No villa attacking option, but really like the look of Vardy today as long as he starts against Watford.
Matip! Wonder how green this arrow can get.
More i look at the FH the more i think that I will go Robbo over TAA. Thinking the league could be over by the time they play as city could be 6 points and goal diff ahead. Also short turn around from cup final which could go 120min. 38 at home 6 days prior to Champs league would mean full team i think. So going Robbo works 2 fold. If Trent is rested i am not sure who replaces him. If i go Robbo I can have Tsimikas at bench 1 as a perfect backup. 1 or the other will play.
If you're going Robbo (like me) I'd advise starting Tsimikas. Chances are Tsimikas starts and Robbo gets a bit at the end, or Robbo starts and plays the whole game. I'm not sure I could see Robbo starting then subbing off for Tsimikas given his rests lately (barring a 120 mins FA Cup final perhaps). Think that's the better way to set up.
This is what i have settled on as well. Maybe a dif captain.My free hit:
Pickford
Cash Digne Cancelo
De Bruyne Son Zaha Maddison
Vardy Richarlison Ings (c)
Bench: Foster Gordon Amartey Andersen
I still have 2.6m in the bank.
