      DDG not worth it. Coleman an expensive bench player. Needs more Salah.

      DDG > Hennessey
      Coleman > 4.5
      Hazard > Salah

      Don’t think Eriksen’s worth it right now.

        Eriksen and coleman will probably leave next week.
        I am happy to go Salahless. Hazard is already delivering points with limited time, imagine what he'll do once he gets 60-80 minutes 🙂

        DDG to alisson in my mind . Probably in 2-3 weeks

    Had a decent start and placed within top 6k. Saved up 2FT and used one of them on Mkhitaryan for Jota, so currently on this lineup:

    McCarthy
    Mendy - Robertson - Bailly
    Salah - Richarlison - Mané - Mkhitaryan - B.Silva
    Agüero - Tosun

    Bench: Hamer, Kamara, Peltier, Bissaka.

    Nothing in the bank.. Tempted to replace Bailly, but for whom..? Monreal being the option I'm leaning towards myself, but thoughts appreciated!

    There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of long-term thinking in people’s WC teams, which might be equally valuable as getting the right players. Here is my thought process on my WC with some detail, just in hopes of getting people to see it’s very long time until we get another.

    Hennessey (Ryan)
    Alonso Mendy TAA (Dummett WB)
    Salah Mane Mkhi Pedro (Kante)
    Aguero Mitrovic Ings

    Hear me out...

    - Aim for a decent bench,
    - Look a little more long term
    - Find some good rotation
    - Mane > Haz w/ 1FT or
    - Auba in w/ 2FTs

    Ryan: Fixtures turn great once Hennessey’s sour in GW10, proven shotstopper in a decent defensive team.

    Dummett: Similar to the above, WB turn sour and Newcastle go on a beautiful run of fixtures from GW9 onwards.

    Kante: needs no explanation. Rotates very well with Ings (LEI, BOU, CAR, whu, wol, sou, bou, NEW)...that is I even will want to rotate Ings.

    Thoughts?

      You could argue there was no long term planning in your original team if WCing so early 😉

      I jest. I’m on WC now too. However it shows how fast things change. Get the template risers in you’ll still have transfers.

        I’m not smarter than anyone. I just think that with the focus being on packing in all the premium options that planning has gone a bit out the window.

        Hamer, Kamara, Benetton, WB
        Has been a bench around here a lot.

          I have that bench with my team and feeling a little uneasy with it. Thinking of sacrificing either Robertson or Pedro for TAA or Fraser to upgrade Bennett to a 4.5 or 5.0m just to have some security.

                He’s looked good, just think it’s wise to have a surefire option along with him, unfortunately Hamer could be dodgey too.

                  I have Ederson/Hamer but Hennessey/Ryan would give me the xtra .5m to upgrade Bennett to a more reliable backup option rather than downgrading Robertson or Pedro who I keep coming back to.

                    My biggest problem with Ederson is that it’s the 3rd MC spot, fancy a mid will be an amazing option at some point.

        Yep, no Kun, Alonso, Mendy, Richa swung it - facing 0.8/0.9 of price rises this week right there, throw in the Sanchez/KDB move also up in smoke and probable rises for Fraser/Ings/Wilson/Ederson/Pedro etc & it just looked like an opportunity... I am usually an early Wildcarder though

          I think that is fair enough. Just make sure the squad has some bench cover and take a look at who will rise in the next couple of weeks and be an early adopter and you should be fine.

            Yeah TAA vs a Robbo is the toughest call in the whole process at the minute. Leaning towards TAA to be honest, allows a much stronger bench to cover those games where one of TAA/Mendy/Mkhi/Kun get benched

            Thanks. It does seem a good move, but BSilva keeps getting plaudits from Pep and I picked him at the start of the season for this run of fixtures because he’s a very cheap and good route into City’s attack. Mkhi still feels to me like he blows too hot and cold and will do nothing as soon as I get him! Guess I’ve gotta decide if the risk is worth it!

          That’s what I was wondering. It only needs to be leaked a little early to get a transfer done. Already know what I’d do. If BSilva not playing he becomes Mkhi and if Aguero isn’t playing he becomes Auba. So just need to know who’s starting with enough time to make the change.

      Pedro will sustain if picked. I have Richa rather but worried about him starting to fail. He is nailed though.

        Salah(C) Mkhitaryan B.Silva Rich
        Arny Aguero Zaha

        Bench: Fabianski Stephens Peltier Wan-B

          Wouldnt bench Arnie, that Arsenal defence look suspect.
