I am leaning towards carrying my FT over this week. If I make a move it would probably be to get Arsenal cover (KDB to Sanchez, Ozil or Walcott) but Sanchez did not look fully fit to me and none of the Gunners impressed. Plus Giroud keeps scoring which makes me wonder how nailed Walcott is. I like Barrow's fixture at home to Palace (plus Amat is back in favour), which makes my prospective team:
Heaton (for save pts)
Lovren, McAuley, Amat
KDB, Hazard, Firmino, Coutinho
Kun, Lukaku, Barrow
(Pickford, Fletcher, Pieters, Smith)
Capt TBA - leaning towards Hazard but it will be hard to decide this week.
If I carry 2FT into GW14 I can decide on where to go for Arsenal cover after their mid-week League cup tie, and I might want to think about getting Kane for Lukaku (or maybe even Kun). Any thoughts/advice would be welcome.

Saving FT
Heaton
Alonso Stones Holebas Morgan
Firmino(VC) Sanchez(C) KDB Pedro
Costa Lukaku
Robinson Wilson Amat DeRoon
Going 442 for the first time as Defenders have excellent fixtures. And gotta play Alonso whatever the fixture. Morgan(MID) Holebas(STK) Stones(bur) and if Stones is benched Wilson comes in albeit a poor fixture. Team looks strong on paper. Only 3 away players compared to 10 in GW12.

Rasib - I like your team (and your thinking). I would also go Sanchez(C) if I had him, but you will need to see how he goes in the CL.

Yes, as I said in the Captaincy Thread, if Sanchez plays full 90 I might reconsider Firmino.

Also cheers Lord, think your team is well set up too. I'd search for a better third striker however. Maybe Anichebe? But wouldn't use an FT on him.  |

I think Anichebe is a good shout although Liverpool away this week could be enough to put people off.
I have 2FTs this week so looking at making some significant changes to upgrade my Mids but I will wait for the european games to finish before making any decisions.

Well done guys for the win! I might swap allen out for another mid just because Anichebe is away to Pool like what Alex mentioned...leaning towards Siggy at the moment, though Philips is making me think again as he's got Hull (away) and Watford (H) for next two...Lukaku will stay one more week before Kane comes in next week. Potential team will probably look like this:
Foster
Williams Fuchs Alonso
Firmino Coutinho Haz Ozil Siggy/Philips
Lukaku Costa
Grant Anichibe Peters Amat
Will probably decide later after CL games on the capt. Leaning towards Pools mids or Che players.

Austin Powers Scout Report
(i) All of them favours 3-4-3
(ii)Lukaku - Austin (8) / Chicago (7)
(iii) Kun - Austin (8) / Chicago (6)
(iv) Haz - Austin (8) / Chicago (5)
(v) Coutinho - Austin (6) / Chicago (7)
(vi) Sanchez - Austin (1) / Chicago (4)
(vii) Costa - Austin (1) / Chicago (4)
(viii) Firmino - Austin (5) / Chicago (7)
Lord...time to give some grief to Jonnyleeds for turning his back on our team. Jonty is still struggling with his team and will prb take on more hits this week. Triggs will be taking out Allen for another mid based on his blog.

I am waiting for Javish to open a Week 13 thread before posting something on Austin Powers.
By the way - who else is in the Cup? I squeaked through in Round 1.

Well done all on the win :-)
I'll be saving my transfer this week unless there are any injuries. 2FT's next week to get some Chelsea coverage in is the plan.
Heaton
Holebas, Brunt, McAuley
Sanchez(c), Walcott, Firmino, Coutinho
Kun, Lukaku, Austin
(Pickford, Amat, Hojbjerg, Pieters)
Maybe could play Amat instead of McAuley to spread the risk a bit?

Hooky - On balance, I think West Brom is a better clean sheet option, and both Brunt and McAuley have an attacking threat.
from the Scoutcast, Jonty said he was looking to get rid of Redmond for Siggy, and Lukaku for Defoe/Rondon/Austin (-4). He is also mulling the same Captain options as me (Hazard/Firmino or Coutinho). I suspect he will be on the bench this week.

Agree on doubling up on West Brom defense. Paid off last week and teams tend to go on runs of strong defense or attack. Just look at Chelsea rearguard, granted better team overall, but over the last 6 weeks been as tight as a ducks arse.

No injuries, as far as I could see, from the CL fixtures. Arsenal were second best against PSG, and Man City did enough but no more. Nobody screamed 'pick me' for GW13.
