    Would you chaps WC this team? Arnie and Mendy being possibly injured and Ings not being available could do me over this weekend. Bench is very weak too:

    Hennessey (speroni)
    Alonso Robertson Mendy AWB (Bednarek)
    Salah Hazard Jota D Fraser (Stephens)

        Are you sure? Ings is out, Arnie might be injured, Mendy might be injured, Salah might get rested (unlikely); Bednarek probably won't play, and Jota and Stephens are pretty weak.

        What would be the one transfer you'd make?

      I have pretty much your exact team - mids and forwards anyway. I decided to upgrade jota to maddison, although I'd recommend schurrle if you don't have the cash.

    Mendy is gold. If being transferred, the question has to be how long will he be out for. This as yet is not known. Pogba has only just started to show his potential. It is best to wait until any further action is taken on him. More time is needed before any action is taken on both.

    Hey community, would I be able to get some advice please?

    I'm running the risk of playing the week with ten men so wondered do you think it's worth the risk of putting Richarlison in for Pedro (already used my 1 FT this week). My team is:

    Ederson
    Alonso Robertson Wan Bissaka Mendy
    Mane Hazard Fraser Maddison
    Aguero Wilson

    Bench: Pedro, Stankovic, Ings

    Stankovic doesn't play, Ings can't play against LIV and Pedro apparently dislocated his arm, the risk is Mendy is injured for another game.

    I'd essentially swap in Richarlison for Pedro then bench Mendy.

    Thoughts?

      Don’t bench Mendy just in case he plays. I think a lot are in similar situations so maybe steer away from the hit and hope your big hitters perform
