    Haven't been on here in a few days, what's the general consensus on Mendy? Hold for now or use a FT? My bench is Hojberg Bennett Ings - one not playing, 2 with tough games.

    Captain choice is doing my head in.

    I’ve got Salah, Haxard, Mane, Aguero.

    Had it on Aguero, now thinking Salah. But both the other two are just as viable,

    Hazard consistently scoring.
    Mane vs old team.

              Fabianski has 10 more saves than Patricio this season. Fabianski also has 7 save points so far compared to Patricio's 3. So by that logic would go for Fabianski

                Alonso is prob the first defender to come to anyone's mind...why would you leave out irrespective of WC or not...

              I think you need more money in your defence, replace Shaw for Alonso and downgrade elsewhere accordingly

            Going to activate WC after deadline, who is best to transfer out for a 1 week punt and hopefully shore up my crap bench:

            A) Mendy (bought at 6.0, may keep on WC if there is good news on his injury) to max. 6.5
            B) Arnautovic to max 7.3
            C) Cedric to max. 4.7

            Full squad:

            Fab Fos
            Alonso Robertson Mendy* Cedric AWB
            Salah Mane B.Silva Neves Ward

                I have, and likely will keep - because I have other issues in my team with only one FT.
                Still hoping he will feature in WHU game even only from the bench. Tactically, he's the only option for Sarri to play between defenders and breaking opposition's offside line.
