Lineup Lamentations - GW8

Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week!

—

WALSH

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Haller & Cantwell

IN: Saka & Abraham

Welp - blowing my two frees to get Tammy in and join the cool kids club.

Time to wave the white flag and make the switch I was supposed to do for free before last gameweek. Missed some value and having to blow another transfer does not...how do they say...feel great...but it's okay guys. Right?

Bottom line is Haller just doesn't look like the same FPL asset that Tammy does. Still love Haller and still think he'll trickle in points but when there are others in his price region who look like exploding with points then it's an easy switch.

I am less enthused about welcoming an Emery rotational fuckstick into the team but realistically I needed to find .2m to get Tammy and had the eye of sauron focused on him. I imagine having Saka will become a problem very fast, but hey, a problem for another day. Or so I hope.

GK:

Pope (EVE)

Pope home Everton seems good for a clean these days so hopefully that works out. Not much to say about him other than he's just a steady hold at this point in my team. Still good underlying defensive metrics for Burnley.

DEF:

Robertson & Alexander-Arnold (LEI)

Robbo and Trent have a kind of tricky fixture against Leicester but I don't think a clean is that out of the question. Realistically other than City I feel like Liverpool have a good shot at cleaning any other team in the division at home and with Alisson possibly back let's fucking go here.

Leic will prob just jam the middle of the park and hope Vardy catches something off the counter. Good luck against Virg.

Otamendi (WOL)

Otamendi has home Wolves which is simply a laugh riot fixture after the orange cucks come back from Turkey on Thursday. Seems good.

Lundstram (wat)

With Kevin out I'll be also getting Lundstram in there.

I'm not reallyyyy feeling a clean in this one, but it's at least a good on paper fixture at Watford. Seems fine and he's always a candidate for an attacking return as we know and love.

MID:

Salah (LEI) & Sterling (WOL)

Mo and Raz couple good friends still in there getting the run out once again.

Mo off some points midweek and Raz off a rest both seem delightful in this moment.

Love seeing the momentum around people selling Mo still and long may it continue. Still the best player in the game on a team that looks unstoppable. Playing the long game and not really considering binning.

Mount (sou)

New boy from last week Masonry Mount with another nice fixture as their run of green continues. Seems great.

Saka (BOU)

Finally, new friend little boy Bakary Saka will get thrown straight into my fire.

I thinkkkkkkkk he'll start? Maybe?

He looks actually good so maybe he's going to be new little pet project for Emery.

As long as Laca is out and Ozil is not allowed near the pitch he seems like a reasonable guy. Maybe I get ridiculously lucky and he spikes something in a fantastic on paper fixture.

FWD:

Pukki (AVL)

Pukki has a good home game for the first time since GW2 so hopefully he comes in with some returns. Norwich been good at home for a while so long may that continue.

Abraham (sou)

Abraham straight in and there isn’t much to be said here.

At Soton is sort of a difficult place to go but the way Chelsea have been looking recently and with the potential of CHO incoming makes their engine even that much more enticing to me.

Feels good to get Tammy in and to not have been punished on the points front even though he led the league in xG last gameweek.

CAP:

Salah (LEI)

As discussed on the new Friday My Life pod I'm going with big diff cap in Mo.

Not the best, good, or even kinda good on paper fixture but it's still Liverpool at home and it's still Mo. I am sticking with my pod shout of not feeling great about capping Raz - cue Mendy starting and Raz is playing central forward but hey fuck me - while he's stationed on the sideline.

Mo off a brace...don't think he has Egypt duties...plus the Brodge reunion tour. I mean would anyone be stunned if this is a 4-0? I wouldn't be. As Alon pointed out on the Friday My Life pod edition...anytime Mo at home is a diff like this he should be considered.

ALON

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Agüero

IN: Aubameyang

Was very unsure of this move but talking about it with Walsh on the pod made me feel way better about it.

Kun, I never know if he will start, especially after a full run out in UCL, so meh yeah I don’t know. That risk sucks.

Add to that Aubz has the very long run of great fixtures and something I forgot to mention on pod is that I think Arsecast attack will continue to get way better once Bellerin and Tierney get in there so I’m looking forward to that too.

Aubz is an easy long term hold and shoudl be a great returner for me in that time. Come on let’s go.

GK:

Gunn (CHE)

Fucking hell what am I doing here? Funds from Kun to Aubz will fuel a Gunn out move for me.

I’d be pretty pleased with one point on Sunday.

DEF:

Tomori (sou)

I don’t really anticipate an away clean here and with Kante only 50/50 it’s made worse... But it’s possible! Also Tomo Arigato got a nice assist in UCL so maybe he can get himself another attacking return for me.

Lowton (EVE)

Another reasonable clean shout here.

Everton struggle for goals currently and Turf Moof must be the worst place to go to try and rectify that.

I’m hoping for a frustrating afternoon for the Blues and Burnley to do a Burnley on’em.

Lundstram (wat)

Fantastic fixture. I think anything less than 3 points would be disappointing for Wilder away to Watty. A clean is very possible too. Just no glaring huge howlers at the back boys, not this time please!

Kelly (whu)

I’m putting Kelly in here because he will almost definitely auto-sub in for Kevin (who is in my lineup currently).

Sakho is out so I expect Kelly to come back in, and he’s been solid all year.

Away to West Ham is a pretty bad fixture but also Palace tend to play way better away from home so this is by no means a nightmare. Clean points are still in play so I’m just hoping and praying for it.

MID:

Salah (LEI) & Sterling (WOL)

Two best players in the game remain the two best players in the game (maybe Kev overtakes Raz but meh)... Both are home and we all know these two teams cannot be touched in the league so I honestly expect points for both.

Cantwell (AVL)

Hoping Todd is fit enough to start and if he does this should be a good attacking fixture for Norwich. Come on Todd. Just need him to put in his oneish big chance that he’ll get.

FWD:

Aubameyang (BOU)

New lad after being rested in Europa league comes into my side with home Bournemouth on the cards. I’m salivating and he probably is too.

Abraham (sou)

Chelsea and Tammy look great.

Very impressive so far and Tammy has taken a big leap forward to just being a top striker this season. Let’s go.

Pukki (AVL)

Another Norwich dude. This is a huuuuuge fixture for the relegation battle but also just for our confidence in Pukki and Norwich to be keepers in fantasy.

We need a performance. Come on you Canaries.

CAP:

Aubameyang (BOU)

I mean, duh. This is as good an attacking fixture as you can get.

Bournemouth normally do not park and Eddie will think that with Arsenal’s defensive frailties they can get a result in this fixture... He might be right.

But anyway there should be plenty of room on the counter for the Gunners to slice and dice Bournemouth all day long. Serious hatty+ potential in this one for Aubz. Come on baby.

RANDOM SLACKER OF THE WEEK: ESPEN

The words of Random Slacker are not officially endorsed by this website nor any employees of FML FPL LLC.

TRANSFERS:

OUT: N/A

IN: N/A

Rolling a transfer this week. Two FTs after International Break is always good, or so they say. No obvious problems in my team except Kev so will do the sensible thing and save.

GK:

Pope (EVE)

Old friend Pope with a nice clean shout home to Everton. Burnley still has a nice run going forward so I’m spending zero energy on this spot atm.

DEF:

Otamendi (WOL)

Great job by me getting Ota in for his GW6 haul.

Bad as he is at football, City’s next four fixtures are very cleanable and he should be pretty nailed for the time being.

Besides, he’s a very exciting player to own being a constant red card shout and a fox in the box at the same time.

Robertson and van Dijk (LEI)

Still on double LIV defense and feeling ok with it.

Robbo the lovely lad, quietly returning in the last four and is going nowhere, but VVD might be on the chopping block with the upcoming fixtures.

Home Leicester will probably be a tough fixture but I’m feeling a 1-0/2-0 kind of game so crossing fingers for a double clean.

Lundstram (wat)

What a legend this guy is. I’ve had him all season and he’s been saving my ass auto-subbing on with two double digit hauls.

Playing him in a good fixture over Soy away to Liverpool seems like a no-brainer. Hoping Sheff U can do the same they did at Everton.

MID:

Sterling (WOL)

Feeling good about Raz in this moment.

With his benching “out of the way” I feel confident he’ll play 90 and hopefully this will be a game where he actually converts his chances. One can dream.

Salah (LEI)

Lots of chatter about removing Mo before their rather dire run of fixtures.

Must admit I’ve been thinking about dropping him, but a -4 to get Aubs or something like that just felt like a classic “come back to bite me in my ass” kind of move.

Sticking with him for now as I can easily see him score a couple vs Lei.

Cue Mane brace.

Mount (sou)

Really happy about having Mount in my team. Integral part of the Chelsea attack and their fixtures are just a sea of green. Not much to think about, just a good value pick.

FWD:

Pukki (AVL)

Norwich doing this whole Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde thing on the road vs at home.

Home against Villa should be a great chance to bring the mojo back, and I’m expecting goals again from the Finnish GOAT.

If he blanks I’ll probably start to look elsewhere for points.

Abraham (sou)

My transfer last week, which of course resulted in 3 big chances missed and a blank.

Oh well, we all knew his efficiency wasn’t sustainable.

He’s been good on the road and Soton can be scored on so expecting great things from young Tammy this week and in the time to come.

CAP:

Sterling (WOL)

Sixth GW in a row with Raz as my cap and this might be the one I’m most confident about.

That scares me, and will probably lead to sadness and existential doubt.

Wolves went full strength in Turkey this Thursday and should get absolutely fucked at the Ethiad... Hopefully a rested Raz will do most of the fucking.

Vice on Mo as per.
