    Need to dump Silva and get someone in who plays in GW34.

    Sessegnon a good bet? Seems he played well again today

    Just planned my transfers for the rest of the season

    32: Shotton to evans (Has to be done been put off for some time)

    33: Nothing (Save the transfer)

    34: Kelly Demps Simps to Mcauley Verm Sess (Gives me 11 for the week)

    35: Nothing (Save the transfer)

    36: Roon Verm to Torres and Terry (Gives me, Suarez Skrtel Bale Terry and Torres with doubles)

    37: Torres to Yak (Fancy him for the relegation scrap)

    38: Torres to Ballo (Nice home game potentially for the title)

    What do we think about that plan, anything I have missed?

      You can't plan these things in advance. Things like injuries, teams going in and out of form, players start to perform better than expected and have favourable fixtures, etc.
