GW19 POINTS

I always say that FPL is about 50/50 choices and your rank reflects how many of these you get right.

Well my 50/50 last week was whether to get Costa back to protect a big rank fall at the expense of Kane.  I decideD not to.  That day I couldn’t look at the scores and turned my phone on only after the games had finished to see that Chelsea had scored 4.  My heart sank.  Luckily Costa only 1.  Keeping Kane paid off but I could have easily chosen to get Costa back as many did

THIS WEEK

This week was how to bring in Aguero.  To do that Kane had to go which is a shame considering his score.  However to me Aguero is the best striker in the league even if his returns at the moment don’t reflect it and he didn’t even get a penalty box touch against Liverpool.

The question was who to sacrifice to get him in.  It could be Firmino although with Sunderland next and Hull and Swansea coming up I just couldn’t take him out.  It then came down to Vertonghen or Hazard.  Both have tricky games next against each other so it’s a good exit point for both.  Getting rid of Hazard would give me £8.7m and a multitude of options but no Chelsea player.  Their fixtures aren’t great which is a comfort but I’d still rather have someone than not.

The other option was to take Vertonghen out but that would leave me with only £4.1m.  There’s no player with gametime security.  Holgate of Everton is probably the closest but that assumes Everton play a back 3 and that the back 3 isn’t Jagielka, Funes Mori and Williams which it surely has to be.  With Amat banned and Anichebe injured it would also leave 3 non playing benchwarmers which isn’t helpful.  At least Fletcher would be playing Hull.

So as I’m writing this I still dont know.  What’s worse is I’m not sure who to replace Hazard with if I do do it. I could go for a cheap option with a view to getting Costa in in a few weeks but it feels I get Hazard out and seriously downgrade and keep Vertonghen who for this week doesn’t have much clean sheet appeal.

So it’s a case of making a decision with time ticking away, something I really hate…..

 Darn it.  I’m taking Vertonghen out for Holgate and I’ll just suffer the defence for 2 gameweeks until I can make some improvements.  For someone who’s been saying how important defence is it’s a weird decision but I’m going with it

TEAM SELECTION




The only choice was whether to put Ake before Fletcher on the bench.  Probably irrelevant if neither Anichebe or Holgate start.  However I went with gut feel and went for Fletcher

CAPTAIN CHOICE

Aguero home to Burnley is no choice
