      You’ll probably have to transfer him back out again in a few weeks.

      I went for Walker so it's an easy transfer back to Mendy cash wise, plus if other pressing issues arise before I get Mendy back then at least I've still got a more nailed on option in Walker in that spot.

      Plus don't forget that Danilo is also an option for Pep.

      Well, he’s sitting at 0%. Haven’t been monitoring, but I doubt he’ll go up tonight.

      His ownership is high due to auto pick dead teams (APDT). These (as with someone like Salah) along with his premium price prevent price fluctuations.

        Interesting school of thoughts.
        I'm always more concerned about the players with the highest price tag, basically Kane, Alonso, Salah, De Gea, as they are a lot easier to transfer out, than to transfer in...so the more casual players are more likely to ditch them if they don't instantly perform in the first few weeks.

    Guys thoughts on the above? Don't think anything is worth a hit this week but any advice on how to spend the 3.7? I could upgrade Kamara/Bamba as they are getting 0 mins playing time or make some changes elsewhere?

    Best moves here, I'm a bit stuck on what to do. I have a WC i can hit up after GW8 so happy to look short term

    A) Mendy to Trippier (prob the safest option, especially if Mendy is confirmed out as then City play Liverpool. Spurs next two fixtures are great)
    B) Mane to Hazard ( the 'protecting rank' option, whilst i enjoyed Haz blank vs west ham, he is a class act)
    C) both for a -4 which I should get back over the next two GWs
    D) Wally to Richarlison (maybe to sideways, I hate owning Wally)
    E) Salah and Ings to Kane and Richarlison (the risk option, Kane, while not convincing, plays the two worst teams in the league and Salah has Chels and ManC and Ings has Wolves, who have a decent back line and Chels. I can then get Salah back on the WC)

    For context, here is my team

    Patrico
    Mendy Robbo Alonso
    Salah Mane Wally Fraser
    Mitro Kun Ings

    Subs: Foster, Cook, AWB, McDonald. 1.4m itb
