    Still Not sure what to do with my team this week...

    Ederson
    Alonso Trent Cook
    Salah Mane Fraser Richarlison
    Ageuro(C) Zaha King

    Hamer, Mendy*, wan-bisaka, Billing

    1FT 0.4ITB

    1. I could hold.
    2. I could get KTrip for Mendy and play him over Trent.
    3. Get Doherty for mendy and save money for vardy next week.

    Or none of the above... any ideas?

    Two bizarrely different options...

    A) Salah and Ings to Kane and Richarlison. Means keeping Pogba and provides a great captain option for gw8.

    B) Peltier and Pogba to Trippier and Richarlison. Means no standout captain for gw8, get to keep Salah.

      I'm doing it. Ageuro won't play 90 mins. Likely 50-60 mins. They have to win their CL game midweek.

      I'm 31k overall and doing it, see it as great chnace to make top 10k. Aguero could well score or get a couple of assists like last time, but I see a City cs, which means Aguero has even less chance of bonus.

      I don't see Richarlison being stupid enough to get another red card so soon and Fulham ship goals.

      therefore, conclusion:

      Aguero captain and back a Fulham clean sheet this weekend 😉

        that's the spirit!

        I really want to do it, but fearful of my mini league rivals captaining Aguero and it going horribly wrong! I can't see a red for richarlison either, it's just if 60 mins of aguero is better then 90 mins of an everton player.

      Not stupid, but it is brave with his ownership.
      I've said a few times that I think Aguero is overhyped as essential. He failed to score against fairly ordinary opposition (Wolves, Fulham, Newcastle) - if he didn't get lucky with that Walker 'assist' against Newcastle when surely everyone had him as captain, then I think we'd have seen a lot more sales.
