      Yeah I like it. It's overrated in a DGW later in the season where there's a very good chance he'll timeshare with Jesus.
      I'm going to wait for Fulham though, he'll be nice and rested having international week off.

      Exactly - not an Arnie owner but I found it really strange how Sky could've possibly interpreted the comments to mean he's out.

      Some of first season failures do much better second time. I think he is one.

    I'm now considering if I should keep one 4.0 DF with 3 Big Left-Back and AWB or go for 4.5 DF.

    Who is now rated as Best 4.5m DF, Schlupp or someone elase ?

      AWB is as good as other 4.5m defenders given his fixtures. Schlupp will be replaced by Meyer soon

      WB is the best. I know hes 4.1 but he plays like PVA imo. Looks really good, bright future ahead of him.

      In my opinion it's most profitable to have a bench of a 4.0, Wan-Biss and 4.5 mid and spend the 0.5 or .4 saved on WB to strenghten the first eleven.

    Cairney out for a month, do you think his price will drop, or will he be priced locked once red flagged?
    Never really understood how price locks work

      Price will be locked after the red flag is removed - only if the red flag changes straight to available.
