You'll come to the same conclusion I did, A3 has to be junk.

Mahrez off for Jesus on 67.
Mendy looks immense!

Yeah, the miss you were referencing was a terrible play on his part.

Steve Mac with more incredible insight - did anyone else think that England lacked a creative ball playing midfielder at the WC? Mind. Blown.

Agüero replaced by Kompany on 79 minutes.
That's it then, no Agüero for me now. It's clear that Kompany is too much of a threat to his minutes.

The fact that Tammy Abraham spears yhe Chelsea attack symbolises the woes of this team. Now Pedro who did F-all this game and looked completely lost is finally replaced. So nothing exciting from Sarri... shame.

Chelsea will struggle defensively this season if they expect Marcos Alonso to be a full-back and David Luiz to, well... be a defender.

Re: The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 2018-19
Chelsea will be better defensively with the return of Kante but I dont think they truly have the personnel to fit Sarris system.
Biggest issue is that Chelsea faffing about with Conte has left very little time for Sarri to get acquainted with what he has at his disposal and make any necessary changes. Could we see some panic buying this week?
At least Arsenal got the managerial change done very early on, as a fan Im somewhat optimistic about how Emery and Arsenal will perform this year

Ok points to note.
- Kun is now locked in my team.
- Stay away from Chelsea assets until Hazard and Kante are back.
- Man City are a good side and they're players are fixture proof against ANYONE.

Re: The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 2018-19
Chelsea have completely messed up the close season and the manager now doesn't have the players for the system he wants to play.
City are not a typical Premiership side though and can dismantle anyone so it is difficult to judge how Chelsea will fare against more normal opposition. Think I am going to hold on to Azpilicueta to start with.

I think this confirms for me:
Aguero
Mendy
Probs Mahrez (or poss Silva)
Will go cheap keepers (2x 4.5) rather than Ederson who I guess may miss week 1?
Triple Liverpool also (Robertson, Salah, Mane)
Then some mid priced and cheapies!

There's a chance Courtois will leave this week if he hands in a transfer request and Chelsea find a replacement (hint: it was Alisson ya mooks!).

Re: The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 2018-19
A couple (of normally reliable) Chelsea fans seem to think Sarri has 2 games to turn it round and Hiddink is being lined up as caretaker. Find it hard to believe, but nothing surprises me any more about Chelsea.
