    Scout Notes: "Javi Gracia has mostly fielded a 4-4-2 formation with inverted wingers, allowing the Watford full-backs to overlap in the attack."

    But how do you think Watford will line up when Deulofeu comes back? Surely they'll drop the direct 4-4-2 approach with the likes of Deulofeu, Pereyra, Hughes and Sema looking for a starting place?

        It's all doom and gloom with the Watford fans I know and in their forums.. I was hoping for some bargains too but I'm gonna stay away. Maybe a small Kabasele punt.. if Deulofeu was fit I'd consider him Too

        But who to pick? I had Deulofeu and Hughes in most of my drafts, but I've dropped Deu due to the injury. If they continue with 4-4-2, 2 of Deulofeu, Pereyra, Hughes and Sema will miss out. I'd imagine Hughes would be one of them. Even if they shift formation to include 3 of them, Hughes will likely be left out now that Sema has arrived (I guess?).

        I have got him, but just tried one without and it's decent IMO (this is not a RMT post!!!)

        DDG
        Robbo Mendy Azpi
        Sanchez Mane Bilva Richarlison
        Aguero Arnie King

        Hamer Bednarek Stephens AWB

        I guess No Salah effectively means a shuffling of money into defence, given Bilva's emergence and the budget options up front...not awful though.

          Doesn't look bad. I like it. I have a feeling Mendy is a yellow card magnet...
          My No Salah team is
          Ederson Speroni
          Azpi Bertrand Bellerin (AWB Bednarek)
          Mane Jota Richarlison Moura (Hudson-Oloi)
          Auba Aguero Firmino

          Also not bad IMO. I know Salah will score a lot but Mane and Firmino together could outscore him. What do you think? I could also downgrade Azpi to Robertson to give me 3 Pool players and 0.5 ITB

            This debate will be much more interesting when Kane & Sterling are back and if, for example, Sanchez hits the ground running.
