    I'm having a problem choosing whether to go with:

    1. Bennet ahead of Pereira
    2. Wilson ahead of Vieto

    What do you think?

      If you have him you have to captain otherwise what’s the point of having a 12.5M player. He has been scoring even if his underlying stats are way behind last season (when he wasn’t scoring weirdly...)

    Do you folks think that Cech is worth putting in on a wildcard?

    I have Alonso, Mendy, and Robertson so no room for an Arsenal defender.

    Alternative GK would be Pickford or Begovic.

        Nobody is “guaranteed” anything. That implies 100%, there’s no such thing, just probabilities. And nobody can determine them after three games vs weak opposition.

      He has 35 points from 3 games so obviously by the logic of people on here that means he will obviously perform the same way every week and end up with nearly 450 points for the season being the most successful player in the history of the game.

      I can only assume you have no Aguero, Salah, Kane, Hazard or any decent mid or attacker.
