    If I have Ederson in goal, who would you get?

    a) Alonso

    b) Mendy

      C. Both at all costs.

      In all seriousness it is impossible to find fault unless rotation kicks in. I'd be sensible and go Alonso to spread risk.

    Easily Mendy.

    Alonso's points return is not sustainable. I think he will continue to score well but the variance will be high, he's been a bit fortunate.

    Mendy on the other hand, has had a very average points return relative to his performance. Looks like he could be a consistently high returner

      Is this a Wildcard team? Azpilicueta is unnecessary when you have Alonso I feel. Seems like you have Gundogan for the sake of triple City. Don't think Etheridge will continue raking in points. Downgrade Azpi and get yourself a decent 2nd striker

      According to stats it’s the best defence in the league. Robertson has been great and is well worth the money. I’m on wildcard but I just can’t afford Robbo as of now. Thinking about TAA though one of those free kicks are bound to go in.

    Apologies if this is a stupid question, but is it worth taking a hit just to save 0.1m? I've currently got Peltier, who appears to be hovering on the brink of a price drop, and no FTs left this week (thanks Richarlison).

    If Peltier passes -100 on fplstatistics before Saturday, should I get him out? I've already got AWB and 0 ITB, so it'd have to be a straight swap for another (presumably non-playing) 4.0 def. Rest of my team is solid, so I'm hoping to avoid WCing early, but that extra 0.1 would obviously be handy when it does happen.

    What's the target for using first wildcard for most people?
    I would have used mine by now every other year but with a decent start i'm not as pushed but my team would need a few tweaks. I'm tempted to use it over the international break if not GW 9.

    I'm leaning towards next week though.I'm even tempted now with no Chelsea for their two home fixtures.
