Lineup Lamentations - GW35
Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week with both of us on Bench Boost!
And apologies for the late as fuck Lambs there wasn’t anything I can do but I still <3 y’all - Alon
Ultimately I decided that I don't think a hit was worth it here with so few gameweeks to go to get Wilf and give me a benching headache for the remainder of the season. I considered Ings but remembered that every time I get Dings in it ends in a complete fuckery of fucks. Not really trying to experience that again. Gray is kinda shit but they play Huddersfield this double so I'm just hoping he plays and if he plays he should get something. Not overthinking it, really, and just getting Deeney's straight swap replacement. We'll see how it goes.
Ederson (TOT, mun) & Foster (hud, SOU)
Eddy and Foster. Obviously the City fixtures aren't "great" but they are still City and can clean anyone. Seems fine. If Foster can not make ridiculous howlers for their next two games I would be greatly appreciative to the man. Couple of reasonable fixtures, although I don't really expect a clean against Soton he's gotta get that one at Huddy to give me a nice return this DGW. Feels like a good guy to have.
Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, & Robertson (car)
Triple Livp defense are in at Cardiff as my only single gameweekers this weekend. Trent, VVD, and Robbo travel to Wales and will prob get me like 50 points since they are boss and Cardiff are cack. Get in there my sons.
I'm sticking with Kola although I, as usual, have no idea what Emery is doing / thinking. Really not much to go off here and just hoping he starts the home game. Whatever.
Last guy is Duffman. Meh. Glad I only have 1 BHA player instead of 3 like everyone else and their dog. I wouldn't be stunned if they cleaned Wolves since Wolves suck and fuck Wolves so who knows. Stranger things have happened. At least he's got some goal threat and stuff.
Eriksen and Suon are looking pretty okay for the double. Suon starting both seems a lot more likely since he's banned for their UCL game so that's a nice thing. Eriksen will prob do fuck all against City like normal but the BHA game is a good one for him against the bus.
Raz is in and looking primed to fuck. He's in great form and with them out of UCL should not be rested for any of their remaining league games. "should"...lol. Pep will prob drop him tomorrow.
Doucoure rogue guy in there who I am kinda very excited for in the double. I think both games are fruitful for him as they get Huddy who are Huddy and then have Soton at home where I feel like he'll have some ability to get in there. Love him.
Last and certainly not least is Redderz the god and legend. Couple tricky away ties but he's off a brace and Soton are looking good these days. Hopefully he keeps it up and gets me some more points.
Kun is Kun. Again, the loss to Spuds in UCL is a big game for the City players for their league games.
Llorenthe the dickgoal god looks a man reborn after putting the Spuds into the UCL semis what a guy. Not sure if he'll start the City game but I don't really care that much. The BHA game is a good one for him and he feels like a good play this gameweek.
Finally, new guy Gray is in for their couple of plum ties. Don't really rate him and not really sure if he'll start / what he'll do / what he's up to / what he's about but I'm going to find out.
Really rough one this GW and really don't have a huge conviction on anyone. When that is the case, I am happy to default onto Kun. He's good and City are good. Dunno if Jesus will get a game...but I also don't know if Raz will play both so...ya. Hoping that VAR gets City a lot of pens this GW. That's how it works, right? I think Raz is a fine cap option as well but I'm going to just back Kunnyboy to bang in the run in.
OUT (lol): Heaton, Rondón, Barnes, Lejeune, Daniels
IN (for -16 points): Gunn, Llorente, Jiménez, Cathcart, Bednarek
I want to fully disclaim that nobody should see this and be like wow great idea and take a 9 million points hit.. it’s dumb as fuck. But alas, I’m also dumb, and it’s the end of a nightmare season for me so I’m just fucking it all to hell and trying to have fun the hard way. It’ll soon stop being fun, and it’ll soon turn to darkness, but for now, this little window of time when I can sleep and hope and dream, I will be high as a kite on points hits and imagine that anything can happen.
Gunn (new, wat) & Guaita (ars)
Gunn feels like a pretty good guy for this double even though two tough aways, I’ve really liked the look of Southampton and hopefully he can get some save points and one clean... Guaita on the other hand with a horrendous fixture but ya never know...
Matip & Alexander-Arnold (car)
Starting to get a little worried about Matip’s place now that Joemez actually played some real minutes, that said, I don’t think he deserves to be fucked off to hell because Liverpool have been beyond fantastic with Matip in the side and he’s mostly playing well so I think you just keep it going here. Also Cardiff will be super up for it and physical and Matip is terrific in the air while Joemez off of long-term mega-injury for away Cardiff who have a real chance of avoiding relegation, is that really the type of lion’s den you want to throw him into? Surely not.. right?
Away City is a fuck but home Brighton should be a straight forward clean for Spurs. Brighton are terrible.
Walsh with all the lols on the pod probably cursed this pick of Cathcart but whatever he’s Craig Cathcart he does what he wants. Huge haul coming in.
Double Soton defense in two aways what am I doing? Couldn’t tell ya.
Raz is fucking flying at the moment. Hopefully Mendy keeps starting and/or Sané so that Raz can play on the right and score a million more goals. But it’s Pep... Soooo Raz will probably start at DM with Gundo at false 9.
Sonny boy is a man possessed when Kane is out of the lineup. Tasked with doing all the running, all the shooting, all the goal-scoring, and he’s fucking up to it. What a lovely guy.
JWP been quiet lately, just in time for everyone to forget about him and the hauls to come in right here right now. I’m just waiting for FKs to be won so he can put’em top bins.
McNeil is great. Obviously bad fixture but McNeil is just a great boy and I love him.
Kun’s great. What else to say here? Nothing that I can see.
Get in Fernando. Savior, legend, hero, whatever. Lanky donkey fuck. Kinda love him. He’s got a very bright end of season ahead of him.
My first time owning Raul this season. Lol @ me. What a marker of my terrible season he is... Fantastic player with fantastic fixtures.
Capping Jim is just so fucking boring. I’m on a -16 might as well have some damn fun. I talked myself out of City while bantzing back and forth with friend of the pod James (City supporter) on slack and whatever fuck City I’m a Liverpool supporter... City’re mentally weak and about to have a huge wobble and Pep is still gonna rotate because Pep is gonna Pep is gonna Pep....... I simultaneously talked myself into Son right now as I’m typing this. Son is in just as good as form as Raz and he becomes an FPL god when Kane is out. Son fresh off a brace where he looked great vs. City gets City again full of confidence and then gets home Brighton too I kinda love it... Fucking yolo. Live by the Son, die by the Son.
