    What to do with this lot?

    McCarthy
    Mendy - Robertson - Alonso
    Neves - Salah - Mané - B.Silva - Mkhitaryan
    Agüero - Tosun

    Bench: Hamer, Bissaka, Kamara, Peltier.

    0.4M ITB, 1FT. WC still intact, but want to save it..

    My initial thought by looking at my team is taking a hit, however Fraser's injury ruined that plan.. B.Silva and Mkhi to Fraser and D.Silva was my planned transfers, but now I have no idea what to do?? Just save FT and have more room to maneuver next GW?

      My thought ref. Fraser are that even if he does play his minutes will be limited. He's #2 on my bench this week.
      I'd play it safe and save your transfer.

            Alonso or hazard captain guys?

            Alonso with almost a guaranteed cs and any attacking points is a bonus.

            Hazard is so involved with the Attack and a bps magnet.
