Hi Lads gone with the Sigurdson and Kane option also with my 2 free transfers. Getting Siggy back in has required a little bit of pride swallowing but it's obvious choice based on fixtures.
Kane will be my captain. Rest of team looks reasonable with a lot of home fixtures this week in my starting eleven. Defoe and Allen have potential in addition to the big hitters and even Siggy is up against a former club so some points seem possible.
Will need to assess how many of us are taking hits this week to decide on our bench players. Having held back on free transfer last week it's definitely nice to have some options so probably worth keeping this in mind.
My advice is to look at upcoming fixtures and choose players who are essential for their teams as Christmas fixtures come fast and furious and rotation risk will increase massively for many. Injury prone players should be avoided and I would also recommend getting as many starting players as you can in your squad to have some points off the bench if required.
All pretty obvious but the less point hits we need to take will help is as a squad and individually.

For my early transfers, I would be not changing the side unless someone's injured and won't take a further either and play De Roon/Stones instead. So, here I go:
Heaton(Robinson)
Alonso Holebas Morgan
Firmino Sanchez Sigurdsson Pedro
Kane(C) Austin Costa
DeRoon Stones Amat

Scouting Report Transfers: 1. Four of their team have already made one transfer. 3 of them most likely to take Coutinho out. The other i think is to take Lukaku out for Kane. Differentials 1. Kun - 7 (Philly) vs 6 2. Firmino - 6 vs 7 3. Sanchez - 4 vs 4 4. Haz - 4 vs 5 5. Costa - 5 vs 4 6. Lukaku - 2 vs 5 7. Wally - 4 vs 1 8. KDB - 0 vs 2 It appears that there isn't much difference in our players. Kun will be up against the resolute Che defence though Spurs shown that it can be breached. Several in our team have already gotten Kane inside and will be captaining him. He will probably be the wildcard for our team this week. Will we still have 5xLukaku once our transfers are finalised? By the way, I have an alternative Scouting Report ready to issue when the Week 3 article is published. |

Alright boys I hope you all have snorkelling gear ready for this week. We have been through some murky waters over the last week but things are starting to clear up and I can some bright and wonderful views ahead.
I am trying to change things up this week and in my effort to get us back on track I am asking you all to submit your final teams by 10am Friday UK time. I will setup another page for this only to make it easier for me to assess. Please include your hits too.
Cheers

Pretty stuck this week lads. Thinking of Aguero, Giroud and Coutinho to Kane, Austin and Sanchez for a -4.
Sounds in my own head, pretty mad. -4 first of all, taking out Aguero after a brace. It just comes down to the balance of my team. Leaves money ITB to upgrade a defender next week. I'm talking myself into this.

"Smoke chugging, steam hissing, furnace glowing... Roll up , roll up, Chicago Bull Sitters - quickly its time for everyone to board the Kane Train.
Grab your seats at the window, stretch those legs out and prepare to be calmly whisked off in the direction of the playoff spots.
As we move out of the station however it looks like we have left a couple of ticketless passengers behind...
From a distance and through the thick smoke filling the Chicago station I can the silhouettes of what appears to be Elmes and Kelvin - yep it's definitely them.
Kelvin had emptied his wallet completely at the transfer station shop leaving himself in too much debt to afford the journey this week and Elmes had mistakingly bought a ticket for the Sanchez express - not realising that was the ticket he needed for last weeks trip to Austin and not this weeks new adventure."
Lads, with the contract signed I expect our boy 'Arry to deliver us safely to the victory stop this game week.
Too many hits for my liking to be honest so I think our squad putting our eggs in the one big basket will pay off this week.
After all you can't make an omelette without breaking some (l)eggs.
Best of luck everyone.

Let's hope the Kane shaped basket works better than the Liverpool mid basket of last week! We shall know by 5pm today! Fingers well and truly crossed.

Chop choo - the Kane Train fairly steaming ahead. We could have a few cleanies to compliment those points from 'Arry if things stay the way they are also. Lots of transfers to ponder now after that Aguero stupidity earlier - mightn't see him back until 2017?

Hey guys, how do you reckon Pedro+Morgan to Hazard+Taylor for a -4. Have money tied up in Pedro and 0.0 ITB after doing this.

Seem to do much better when this happens  |
