    Hi guys,

    I know it's potentially a bit of a push but do you think its viable to start with two 4.0mil defenders for the first few GWs if we think AWB is going to start?

    Would appreciate any thoughts on this matter!

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    It seems to me that Tomkins is very popular in the 4.5 category, and Wan Bissaka tops to 4.0 charts

    Is it a good idea to have both? or should we be picking one or the other, am I going to ever play both of them in one game week? I doubt it.....

      Hey,

      I'm with you. In fact, I think they have my favoured option at every price point between 4.0 and 5.5.

      What I'm doing is picking wan b (the fact he'll only ever be a bench option is fine to me, he's the surest 4.0 starter and unless palace are playing top 4 I'm fine with fielding two of them) and then sorting out the other 13 players. Then whatever I have left, be it 4.5-5.5 will decide which palace defender I take on top of wan b.

      The only reason I'd not pick, in your case, wan b with tomkins is if tomkins wasn't actually my favoured 4.5 option. They're unlikely to both be in your setup and sub 2/3 (presumably) just needs to backup for a week and get those appearance points.

      Of course, though, if you're setting up a rotating backline of cheapies then doubling doesn't make sense.

            Tempting because well-priced, but no. Get either Tommo or W-B not both; when Palace have bad fixtures you're stuck with the 3 remaining defenders, one of whom might also have a bad fixture or be dropped.

    There really isn't one. Which of Mahrez KDB Sterling Sane Silva to go for? There are too many options. They are expensive. There will be rotation.

    Conclusion: Stay away from City Milfs for the time being. The money is better invested in Mane/Eriksen/Alexis types.

      It is a risk to get them but it is a risk well worth taking

      They are one of the few teams capable of scoring 4 or 5 goals a game and with those fixtures it will be very hard to ignore them

        Agree with Syd. Last season even with rotation, 4 of the City midfs were still amongst the highest scorers and proved value for money. I keep an active bench so I can absorb the odd rotation.

                That sounds promising indeed! I still don't read it as he is a confirmed starter, probably playing it safe with Robertson tbh.

            I didn't write them off last season, and got burned accordingly. They kept very few clean sheets and have barely strengthened. I've got King in my draft but no more defenders for me this year.
