      Have to keep Salah for this week as Hazard won't play 90 yet , so I currently have Salah/Mane and Mhiki , can then decide GW 4 if you want to lose Salah for Hazard until GW 8 maybe and then swap back again.

      Long term A for sure. Salah should score the most out of any of them (maybe by 50+ pts), but I reckon Mane and Hazard will significantly outscore Mkhi who is very overrated atm

    Hey lads, terrible start so far (97 points, 3.2m rank). Hit the WC button last weekend. Would love your thoughts and pointers!

    Hennessey - Speroni

    Mendy - Robertson - AWB - Bennett - Peltier

    Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Mkhi - Guendouzi

    Auba - Aguero - Kamara

    0 ITB

    my thoughts:

    1. Salah or Hazard? Have Mane and can use the funds on Kamara --> Ings and Peltier --> PVA/Pereira

    2. Mkhi rotation concerns me. Who else at that price range? Maddison?

    Thank you!

      Looks solid for now... see how salah and hazard both do cause easy switch if you need to... maybe try get an extra mil somewhere to upgrade guendouzi for kante or a Bournemouth player? Personally id have TAA over Robertson but yhh... personal choice i guess

              The obvious places to free up money to get someone like Fraser as a fifth mid or Ings as a third striker is through Robertson to TAA or swapping Mkhi or Richarlison. I think Mkhi and Rich are both underpriced potentially though so I can see why you have them. There’s a lot of great options in that side but you want to be able to put out 11 players each weak you feel are at least as likely to get something as they are to get nothing. Good luck!

      Robbo -> TAA or another nailed 5.0 with similar returns with good fixtures
      Kamara -> Ings

      I see more points from that combo.

      Hold on Mkhitaryan for the run of good fixtures, if he gets rotated you can shift to a 6.5 and upgrade a 4.0Def.

        Salah, Mane, Mkhi, Richarlison
        Aguero

        And then fill the last three gaps with players like Pedro, Fraser, Ings or Wilson and a 4.5. If you did want Robertson over TAA you could just swap Alonso for Luiz or Van Aanholt or something

          He’s got enough assist potential from crosses and corners to outscore his yellow card count anyhow. He’s not someone I’ve considered personally cos I’ve got Tomkins as my £4.5m DEF but I don’t think he’s a bad pick at all

      I’m on the fence. I think he could be a real bargain but his early impressive stats remind me of Joselu’s last season and that worked out atrociously!!

      Got a feeling Ings will perform well for his price

      I think his price is very tempting, watching him closely this week as thinking him or Jiminez for King next week.

      Couldnt care less if Saints lose 4-1 every week. As long as Ings gets the one. Wouldn't invest in anyone else from Saints tough.

              Downgrade Tripper to a 4.5 rather than a mid (Especially if your 5th is AWB). Or even Ederson -> Hennessey or other 4.5

      A for me ... don’t trust Kante’s output at all. Ings looks a bigger threat than Zaha already, and Pedro is a decent punt as he’ll get returns if he plays. Definitely been better than Willian lately so should be his place to lose for now.

      Going with Salah myself, as I Think he is the better option looking at H/a, minutes, stats, involvement, opponent etc. etc. etc.
      In the end, no-one knows, as bot are very capable of a massive haul. Go with you gut on this one and you won’t be AS disappointed if you get the wrong one

      No coz you can’t play with 5 MID and 3 FWDs. Fraser is the weakest of them all despite good form. And you already have King as Bournemouth cover. Fraser is good, but not if you keep King
