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.

Shatner's Bassoon

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).

  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.

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

Thoughts?
