TFF chit chat 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th January

[Dr Van Nostrand]

Don't get the extra game though with KDB, if that's your plan.

True but thinking long-term with KDB. Was gold last year just needs to put the injuries behind him

[Canaryfan]

Strong Everton line-up, but Richarlison on the bench

[happyhoppy]

Alonso seriously annoying, attacking points dried up and Luiz cheaper and starts today, anyone tempted to switch?

Already dumped him. I'd prefer trippier or more lfc defence, or doherty for funds.

[murf]

Phew both transfers delivered. Alteast Arnie isn't injured and should start the first game v Arse

Not sure 7pts is quite delivering but at least not a total flop.

To keep daisying, who in now....

[buttonphobic]

Sat on my hands for the first time this season with the Lukaku decision. Hoping those around me have done the same!

Glad I didn't do the Kane to Lukaku move. Rather have Kane than Lukaku + seven points - 1 transfer

Very much so. Been thinking about it for a cpl of weeks now.

[Fabien]

Telegraph areshowing Laporte as out for a week, he is unlikely to play anyway, but I will swap him to Luiz if he has a knock. But I can't find anything anywhere. Anybody know anything?

[SPR]

Yeah that Lukaku transfer was a waste. Can't see him starting next time out so literally one game.

[marcml987]

He’s scored when coming off bench lately. Don’t write him off till all 3 games played (he says trying to be positive)

[murf]

Daisy chain for me so it is a near-acceptable 7 points for 1 transfer (but still a need to recoup the points to justify that return transfer over the chain)

If Aubameyang starts....

[Mins]

No obvious Barahinos in the 3pm KOs. I remember that Berahino day very fondly as I got on board with that one. Swapped him for Bony I think.. Happy days. Anyway, back to the present, Leicester look like the most obvious choice tomorrow to me especially if Vardy's playing.

[Cassius]

Nobody posting the starting line-ups for us poor family blokes who are on the move and rely on FISO for our team news?

Hazard and Richarlison benched, loads of changes, Morata and Luiz start. Errr...

My daisy chain now includes Dominic Calvert-Lewin Arsenal?, Man City?, Leicester? 5 transfers? Could be.....

[Cassius]

Thanks Murf - not good news. Looks like I’ll have to sit on my hands and see if there are any potentially good moves to Man City, Liverpool or Leicester players tomorrow.

[murf]

My daisy chain moves onto 12 pts (assuming a DCLKC)

[Always Next Year]

Hazard has come on! No eff about from the gaffer

[Jamjack]

Hazard has come on! No eff about from the gaffer

Oh, I just got interested in the 3pms.

[murf]

Did he get the 3rd KC on either goal? I saw Hudson and Odoi got the first two on both goals.

Almost went Morata in my daisy chain. Oh well, at least he is scoring for my 2019 team.

[happyhoppy]

Team selections could not have gone any worse so far this weekend.

[buttonphobic]

Any news on the Arsenal or Palace teams yet?

[murf]

Iwobi

Or is that getting a bit desperate?

Not obvious from the match reports. We can but hope

[happyhoppy]

VAR for a tackle now? Bit harsh on Grimsby that.
