    Crazy to think of Sterling over Hazard on a WC?

    Is he nailed?

    And.....best rotating 4.5 keepers?

      This is exactly what I'm doing! Same price, better set of fixtures in the short term and can easily transfer him to Hazard if need be (similar price bracket)

    Guardiola says Mendy arrived late for treatment on his injury on Sunday (having been at the boxing on Saturday night) but played it down by blaming traffic in general. Then says "they have to be here on time".

    Anyone considering Shaw as a replacement for Mendy?

    I know United look poor, but they're a defensive team with a decent run of fixtures. Laporte's got a couple of tough fixtures after Brighton.

          Walker is the best possible replacement in my opinion. He may be a Mendy's placeholder for sometime.

          Apart from Patricio I do not consider Wolves, one defender from each team is more than enough

      That’s the thing.
      I don’t really like any of the Mendy replacements for the coming weeks.
      Laporte is meh with fixtures.
      Trip is a rotation risk and Spurs aren’t very solid at the back
      Shaw is at United
      TAA 2 tough fixtures
      Brighton won’t get a CS against City
      Newcastle probably won’t either

      Hmmm that’s actually a tough one.
      Probably won’t pay off this week as you would need an attacking return.
      But this is probably the best week to do it tbf, as Wolves will probably win 1 or 2-0 and Doherty has an okay chance of being involved in baps/attacking returns

    I've got a FT for this week, but with this team, just feel like I'll keep Mendy now.
    If he's not back next week, he will be after the IB. I'll just be subbing out to rebuy a week later.

    Patricio (Hennessey)
    Mendy Alonso Robertson (Bennett) (AWB)
    Salah Richarlison Hazard Fraser (Milner)
    Aguero*C* Mitrovic Ings

    Two transfers next week to bring in Ryan for Hennessey and Knockhaert for Milner.

    I’m rather concerned about Silva. He’s not in a single predicted line up in the articles I’ve seen online. I’m already having to do Gray to Richarlison. Considering doing Silva to Maddison as well for a minus 4. Seems a bit dullard though.
