I would be wary of Murray. He has been showing his age last few weeks and Andone is finally fit and ready to come in

Emery’s just said that the only reason Aubameyang’s been benched recently is because he’s still recovering from an illness, but should be healthy enough to start again soon.

Does this make him a decent Kane alternative?

Ryan / Lloris

Pogba / Hazard / Sterling / Eriksen / Son
Agüero / Jiminez / Duffy

ITB 0.4

Cathcart to Holebas an option, but not sure whether he will be back.

GW35 BB Murray to Deeney

GW36 Sterling to Salah or Mane
fund raising somewhere depending on form and injury

It feels a bit light in defence, but I am worried about rotation of the Spurs / ManCity and Liverpool defenders.

Comments welcome!
I have Lloris too and think is a good pick but may have to change to get defence I want

I’ve looked at that, but isn’t Gunn @ 4.3 (alongside Ryan) too much of a gift to ignore?

Maybe an even better option is Foster and Lloris.

Even though it is costly, but it might provide the best return. Foster certainly attractive for a BB in DGW 35 with games against hud SOU, whilst Lloris looks good for all other matches.

I'm very tempted by this. Let's not forget a while back he was completing 90 mins every week even when Arsenal had Europa games sandwiched in between. I believe he is more naturally fit than Lacazette and more explosive. I think there's a good chance he starts both games in the double. Even if he doesn't, he's shown what he can do off the bench. Could be a sleeper differential.

Not that it counts for much and the press conferences might hopefully give more info, but most of the fans on the Spurs main forums don't think Son starts v Huddersfield.

I'm inclined to agree, the injury to Kane magnifies the importance of Son and with Huddersfield being so abject I can't see why they would risk him.

Think I'm going to go without Son for GW34 and then make the decision on him next week before DGW35, I'm considering Moura :shock: + money in the bank to make the Son transfer if needed next week, Martial could be another place holder, left out tonight so looks good to start v West Ham on Saturday and he could even stay in my team for the DGW.

I think we’ve now pretty much discounted every player for one reason or another Image

I’ve decided I need to go all or bust as I’m not catching the money places at work...so all LIV out and 15 doublers in. Brighton block for this week.

Ryan Foster
TAA Trippier Duffy Doherty Valery
Sterling Son Eriksen Mane Jota
Aguero Jiminez Deeney

Currently on this, Auba is turning my head though. Feel like he comes to life the next few games.

Concern with Auba for me would be Arsenals awful away record with 4 of their 6 remaining games being away from home

Exceptionally similar to mine, 13/15.

Only differences are Gunn and Deulofeu over Foster and Jota, partly as I can’t afford them. I’ll probably do Duffy > Watford defender to cover the Foster pick before the bench boost.

I dont have a WC but I'm basically just going for -4s and doing it regardless but being careful about certain -4s. I made the very unfortunate error of doing Aguero > Kane Monday night as Kane was set to rise and Aguero to drop so thats either a -4 reversal or get Aub.

The question is which ones do I do this week.

Heres my team currently

Ryan
Robertson, TAA, Kolasinac, Jonny
Son, Pogba, Sterling, Mane
Kane, King

Boruc, Yedlin, Maitland-Niles, Kamara (ON LOAN)

I might as well do certain transfers this week in prep for the double anyway where I'm using my BB, the ones that I'd play anyway. For example:

I want to do
Kane > Aub
Kamara > Jiminez
Pogba > Jota
Boruc > Foster
Kolasinac > Trippier
Maitland-Niles > Lucas Moura

This leaves me with

Foster
Robertson, TAA, Trippier, Jonny
Son, Jota, Sterling, Mane
Aub, Jiminez

Ryan, King, Lucas M, Yedlin

1.4 itb

Kane > Aub/Aguero is a must but what else do we think? Concerned Trippier will be rotated so not worth a hit? Also concerned Son might not play so do I do Kamara > Jiminez to be safe? Is that worth a -4?

Why did I use my WC.

Aguero seems a risk to me to play all of the next 3 and they are tough games although can’t be any more confident about Auba

I’ve had a chaotic week at work dealing with a “restructure”, so haven’t had time to concentrate on my team.

I’ve just thrown this together in the last 20 mins:

Ryan - Gunn
Laporte - Trippier - Doherty - Duffy - Valery
Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Jota - Camarasa
Aguero - Jiménez - Murray

This leaves me with 3.0 in the bank to upgrade Camarasa to someone for GW35.

Please can I get your thoughts?

Anyone else considering Robertson over TAA? I can afford him but not sure he's worth the extra dough. Less of a rotation risk?

Come to the 'without WC' group xJ. We'll manage your team/share your pain there Image

Also, maybe consider not BBing in 35? That's a battle you'll never win against WCers.

Got almost the exact same myself (I've got Hazard for Camarasa and Kolasinac for Trippier)
Personally I'd say you're pretty well covered but too close to my team to be totally subjective!:)

Last team.
Gunn - Ryan
Alexander Arnold - Doherty - Duffy - Dunk - Valery
Salah - Eriksen - Son - Sterling - Højbjerg
Aguero - Deeney - Jimenez

Think this will be my last draft.

Sadly only 0.1 in the bank.

Wish I could upgrade Gunn -> Foster. But no cash to be found.

Suggestions?

Done some rejigging having thought more about Kane's injury;

Ryan / Gunn
Laporte / TAA / Duffy / Dunk / Bednarek
Sterling / Mane / Eriksen / Son / Camarasa
Aguero / Jimenez / Llorente

Ryan and Gunn seem like the best GK duo to rotate for the rest of the season - especially considering after DGW35 you'll want to have as little money as possible tied up in your second keeper.

Triple Brighton Defence I'm still not over the moon about, especially considering captaining Duffy this weekend makes that four, but I just don't see any better options. Trippier was a potential, but then pretty much everyone on Spurs' forum is advocating for him to be rested this weekend. Obviously I can afford to upgrade Bednarek to Valery, but I think the latter's 2 recent goals were a fluke and I can't see there being a big discrepancy between them for the rest of the season.

I'm umming and ahhing between Deeney and Llorente as my 3rd striker and a lot may depend on Poch's presser, but I am liking the fact that Llorente saves me an extra £0.8m, which could be crucial if we decide that we can't go without Salah in GW36. £3.4m in the bank and if I roll my transfer next week, that gives me plenty to play around with. He started 3 of the 4 games while Kane was injured before, so Poch obviously has some faith in him.

Do you not think Cathcart is nailed?
OTherwise looks good. You've got a great TV it seems.

Guys, I think Knockaert has been overlooked by most here. Here are some reasons to consider him:

1. Great fixtures in GW34 and a double in GW35 too (although could transfer him out for GW35 if not fancied for that).
2. On FFS he has the highest GW34 points projection of any midfielder
3. Watched the cup game v City and thought he played well;was Brighton’s official Man of Match
4. Has been on set pieces with Gross being out
5. In form generally, voted Brighton’s Player of the Month for March
6. Viable GW34 captain pick and massive differential if you’re looking for one

It's between Trippier and Laporte for me, currently on Trippier. If he did get rested this weekend it's not end of the world with a strong bench, TAA would come on for him. Going through to the end of the season I can't work out whose the better choice.

Cheers! Ideally I’d like to do Camarasa to Martial in GW35, but he doesn’t seem to be getting the minutes at the moment.

Is this a real place! It sounds like heaven :lol:

I'm only bothered about my mini leagues and the 4 people chasing me have all used their WC too and one of them is bench boosting this week. (Idiot)

So I'm pretty confident its the right thing to do especially with it making up for any -4 I take for the rest of the season.

Looking at this team now:

Ryan Foster
Laporte Doherty Duffy Valerie Bednarek
Eriksen Son Pogba Jota Knockaert
Aguero Lacazette Jiménez

5.5m ITB, enough to upgrade any of Pogba, Eriksen or Son to Salah in GW36
