GW 8 Captains & transfers

T1
Sat - Abraham
Sun - TBC
Mon - Aubameyang


T2
Sat - Kane
Sun - TBC
Mon - Pepe

Got to somehow squeeze a Leicester city player into both my teams, but it's something to look at Sunday.

My secret weapon Yarmalenko scores again. He's not so secret though as he's gone up from .57% to .91% ownership :lol:

But Aurier getting sent off is going to ruin my chances of captain Kane so looking like another poor week.

Kane
Soyuncu
Aubameyang

Salah
Soyuncu
Aubameyang

Bit worried Sterling might score 2 or 3 and spoil my week though.

Sterling is in 11% of top 1000 teams and Aguero is in 65% so Sterling playing and Aguero not is probably as good as it gets for those of us not having them.

I'm glad Aguero isn't starting as I took him out for Mane last week for the 3 for 1. I'd be more than happy with a 1-0 City win.

I took him out of 1 and left him in the other.

At least him being benched has given me clarity on my next transfer :lol:

You did OK in the end. Could have been worse - you could have ended up like me with just a shot bonus for comfort.

- Salah
- Soyuncu
- Aubameyang

Looks like most of us have a nervy 90 minutes coming up then!

Not a disaster with captains but Liverpool getting a clean sheet i reckon will cost me as none of my defenders got one.

Yes, I imagine that will have hurt, especially as they all hit tier 2 bonus and VVD was man of the match as well - but let's not go down that road again!

On the plus side for you, there weren't any 30+ point captain hauls to be had yesterday. I scored less than fifty after captaining Salah and still pretty much held my position, so I'm guessing you can't have lost too much ground.

55 for me yesterday. Captained salah to a measly 8 eff points!! Couldnt risk a Man City captain with not knowing what their team will be.

That was what put me off too. At least we'll know what we're dealing with next week, with City in the early kick-off.

55 isn't a bad start. Hope your first team has a cracking finish to the week!

50 in 1 team and 45 in another. Got so sidetracked as to whether to transfer out Zinchenko that i didn't notice what a liabilty Digne is to my team

Digne is a tricky one. I have him in both my teams, a sh*te Sept but I’m leaving him alone for now. He still looks ripe for a big score occasionally, and Everton can’t continue being this bad. Just 41 :( and a 57 so far for me.

T1
Kane
Soyuncu
Pepe

T2
Salah
Vardy
Auba

More worried about Salah being a bit off the boil. Preferring Kane I think.

Vardy in both my teams. Wanted to dump a defender and go to Soyuncu but it would just be copying what 50+% have in the top 1k so dumped Aguero and Firmino for Vardy.

A Vardy hat-trick would come in very handy. Let's see some clumsy defending and Vardy get a pen to get his 3rd

10 points for Soyuncu,happy with that. Don't think he will get to many points against Liverpool next week though but at 6.2 he's scoring more than enough points for his price. The Vardy brace is a bit of a pain but Liverpool should keep him quiet next week.

76 an 71 for the week so a little more respectable but the Soyuncu clean sheet means i wont gain very much.

I hope you're right Jimbo, but Vardy's record against Liverpool in the PL is little short of amazing - he's scored seven goals against them in his last six games.
