    Begovic / Boruc
    Mendy / Robertson / TAA / PVA / AWB
    Hazard / Mane / Bilva / Hughes / CHO
    Aguero / Auba / Wilson

    I have 2FT and 0 itb.

    I'm struggling to come up with a transfer that I like a lot this week, but have come up with two options:

    A) TAA to Doherty, would then rotate Doherty and AWB for home games, this allows me to upgrade CHO to a 5m mid next week, avoids double Liverpool defence for the tough fixtures

    B) Bilva to Mkhi, again would allow an upgrade to CHO, but I'm not sure whether the move is an improvement in quality or nailedness

    Any thoughts appreciated.

        Moura has one or two games left in him (Son returning soon)

        Robo - Don't want to but is a swap to Alonso. Shaw has been good but the Man U defense is suspect atm.

        Over the next 3 I can see Haz, Alonso, TAA out scoring Moura, Robo, and Shaw

          Can you not just do Auba to Mitro, and Mads/Moura to Haz? Don't think your squad bad enough to WC.

          Also I'm gambling that we've both missed Alonso's points.

    I had a dream that morata scored 2 and got 1 assist in a 3-1 win against BOU. Cheeky captain?

    Bottomed!!

    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.

      Short answer: When -8 is not enough (and you also have a rubbish bench player or 2).

    WC team:

    Hennessey

    Alonso - Robertson - Mendy - WB
    Salah - Hazard - Moura
    Aguero - Zaha - Mitrovic

    Bench: Hamer - Fraser - Bennett - McTominay

    Is the fact that I can only captain one of Salah, Hazard or Aguero a legit argument against having all 3?

      Hazard is ok at a stretch a think even not as captian. Get someone else than McTominay though... Stephens may drop to 4.4 by saturday.
