It's the worst of the 3 chips.

Hope Jonjo puts in a good shift for me on monday..

Tied with a double gameweek? I'm surprised you didn't save it for that.

[cyrille]

The points from your fifth midfielder vs the points from a third defender?

The chances of it making a significant difference are slight.

Plus you can only play one chip per week, so using it for a double gameweek assumes there will be three double game weeks.

[Jofrey]

The chances of it making a significant difference are slight.

yup

triple captain for dgw could be huge.

bench boost with 3 or 4 dgw lads also great potential.

[Dillinger]

When is the first dgw? Xmas period ?

[Jimmy McNulty]

Yes, 3 chips for 3 double gameweeks. What are the stats? How many do we generally get? But we all know that when we see the DGWs coming we plan ahead for them. Wouldn't we be looking to load our attacking players more heavily than our defensive for that week. Much like we'd be planning ahead for a DGW for our benchboost chip by loading our teams full of Aston Villa and Norwich bench-fodder for those games against ManYoo and Arsenal who've gone late into the cup phases. Triple captain is a piece of piss when the DGW comes up. All out attack would certainly be the third chip you'd use in order of DGWs but I think I'd try and hang onto it in the hope that you could try and exploit it to a greater degree than for a week where you've just lost your most expensive defender.

[Dillinger]

I think Cyrille makes a good point with that all out attack chip. You are swapping your 3rd choice defender for your 5th choice midfielder

Your team would have to be unbalanced to achieve from that. Maybe if you have a few FT's it could pay off. I think it's best saved for when your defence is short.

[cyrille]

It 'enabled' noon to leave skrtel on the bench (nine points) and pick Yaya and mane ( three points between them).

[cyrille]

Oh and hopefully Mahrez transforming Leicester when he came on has helped ranieri see what a dick he's being not playing him.

[Jimmy McNulty]

I would have scored an extra 4 points by using it.

[cyrille]

Cue the last remaining Gomis holders getting rid....

[Dillinger]

Yep, I should imagine Vardy will be getting another price rise shortly

Barkley dropped in price today, I might bring him in for Ayew, with Evertons upcoming fixtures

[cyrille]

Dunno what to do about Everton.

Totally outclassed at the weekend.

[Dillinger]

Look at this for luck

[Jimmy McNulty]

Cue the last remaining Gomis holders getting rid....

[cyrille]

Ffs.

[Jimmy McNulty]

Really sits a little strangely having two Leicester attacking players.

[cyrille]

I see kolarov is fit.

A wasted transfer.

[Jofrey]

Kolarov legend.

[Jofrey]

Might get me some Arse defence.

They are on fire......massive win v Bayern at home...

[cyrille]

So I see KDB was playing as centre forward when he scored the winner against Sevilla...

[Jofrey]

KDB

fantasy gold

[cyrille]

Could be a more consistent Theo.

With a less quixotic manager.

[Jimmy McNulty]

I've got too many players. Payet, Mahrez, Ayew, Sanchez, Mane in midfield and Pelle, Bony, Vardy up front. Don't know what kind of team Liverpool are yet and will the Manc derby be a goalfest or a tight draw?

[cyrille]

So hard to predict that game.

I don't think a 2-0 win or a 0-4 loss could really be called a surprise.

First major captaincy dilemma of the season, isn't it?

[Jimmy McNulty]

Most are gonna land on Sanchez or Vardy it would seem. Leaning that way but also tempted for an absurd punt on Payet at home to Chelsea. Think there could be goals in the London derby too. Or Bony again. Pelle? Fuck knows what Liverpool are going to look like at home under Klopp. The assumption was that clean sheets would be few and far between under him. They managed one away in their first game but it's at home that they'll want to open up. Southampton will likely look to fuck them on the break....so, Mane?
