    Blackett for United will start Saturday, not in the United squad yet though on FPL. Played loads of minutes and been out best CB in preseason. Wonder what price he will be, overpriced probably due to minutes played.

    the only dilemma I'm currently battling is whether I keep pelle or switch to dzeko.
    think I've found 3 cheap defenders who rotate well and supposed to play.
    it's always a gamble,but I'm willing to take the risk.

    hear me out, I'm just writing some thoughts down, playing devils advocate

    we don't know who will start for Chelsea at GK, CB, LB or RB

    it costs at least 6 mil to take a punt on the starters and if you are wrong not only do you have your most expensive defender of the bench but theres a chances everyone else who made the same choice will start jumping ship forcing you to transfer out

    Now if you start without a Chelsea defender but leave yourself the means to transfer one in quickly if ownership starts increasing you are less likely to be forced into a transfer or lose money. Ownership of Chelsea defs are unlikely to shoot up quickly but may drop sharply

    the question is, is it worth waiting until gw2 or 3 to pick a Chelsea def/gk?

    abuse?
