    What to do? (Midfield currently: Salah, Mane, Pedro, Neves)

    1. Transfer Salah for Haz
    2. Transfer Salah for Dilva
    3. Keep Salah

      Anything ITB?

      1. Villa Velour

        5 years, 6 months ago

        £0.2m ITB, 1 FT

      Sell Salah for Dilva, or even Sterling preferably. Then swap Neves for Maddison, Moura or any other better midfielder with ur new bank balance.

        Yeah thanks, think I'm actually going to hold on to Salah this week for the FT next week. Then Dilva and Maddison will definitely be up there with my first priorities. Not a fan of Moura.

          Richarlison too of course.

    Did a little draft WC. I think if I had the button on this week I'd go for something like:

    Hennessey
    Doherty - Mendy - Alonso
    Dilva - Hazard - Salah - Schurrle
    Ings - Aguero - Wilson

    Hamer - Ricardo Pereira - AWB - Hojbjerg.

    Sacrifices Mitrovic and Robertson from other templates but has a really nice attacking 7, three attacking fullbacks, plus cover for Ings GW6 in the shape of Ricardo (HUD).

    1. Teror

      Why not bennett?

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Doherty is shooting / crossing like a maniac.

        Bennett a good option if you need cash, and Patricio definitely a strong GK choice but I think Doh is in line for attacking returns soon.

    1. Alajiii

  4. Champagne supernova
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like Fraser is out, what a bummer

  5. Holy GunnarSolskjaer
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hart
    Shaw - Robertson - Mendy
    Salah - Mane - BSilva - Mikhi
    Zaha - Aguerro - Ings

    Subs; Hamer - Neves - AWB - Daniels

    Mane, Mikhi, Daniels > Hazard, Pedro, Bennett (-4)

    Thoughts?
