    Hazard | Mane | Richarlison | Maddison | Fraser
    Kun | Willson

    Hammer | Pereira | Shaw | Ings

    Team for GW9. ITB 3.2

    Qs are:
    1. Should I save ft
    Then
    2. In GW10 go for
    Ings > Arnie
    Laporte > Mendy
    Shaw > TAA - 4

    OR get Mendy now? If yes, should I upgrade shaw and double city deff or upgrade laporte?

    Kane will perform against West Ham. He is from Walthamstow and he despises them.
    His loan spells to Orient and Millwall are confirmation.
    When I made the decision not to get him for the three great fixtures it was this last game that really scared me.

              Ramsey always going to be a risky pick given minutes. You’re in a tough spot because you need to free up funds to make the other FT worthwhile, however it’s tough to lose Mane/Salah prior to their upcoming fixtures.

              I’d be tempted by Robo > TAA and Masuaku > Knockaert if that’s possible.

        Players under +100% on fplstatistics rarely go up in price.

      Any injuries in the Arsenal and Liverpool defence could unleash some real value. 4.9: lovren, matip, kolasinac. 4.8: mignolet, leno. 4.6: clyne and lichtsteiner. 4.3: Moreno

    Any changes here with my FT?
    Hennessey (Hamer)
    Alonso, Robbo, Mendy (WB, Bennett)
    Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Fraser (Hojberg)
    Aguero, Wilson (Kamara)
    .7 ITB

    Was thinking maybe
    A) WB/Bennett > Doherty
    B) Hennessey > Patricio
    C) Roll the FT

      C for now. Decent team, but sooner or later you need to change your set and forget keeper.

      I'd save it, or wait until the end to maybe pick up a differential.

    Is this sound logic? I brought Mendy in for Holebas for my FT

    Patricio Hennessey
    Mendy Robbo Alonso Bennett AWB
    Hazard Richarlison Fraser Maddison Hojbjerg
    Kane Aguero Mitrovic

    I want to get Mane in. No matter when I do it I will have to do a double transfer.

    Thinking of taking a -8 (Kane/Hojbjerg for Wilson/Mane) and using my bench boost to make up the points. Everyone has a decent matchup.

    Bad logic?

    Or wait a week and make that -4 swap with no bench boost?

      Mane hasn't performed well recently, so I see no reason to bring him in now.

    This could be the second IB I've saved my FT.

    Patricio, Foster
    Mendy, Robertson, Alonso, PVA, AWB
    Hazard, Salah, Maddison, Knockaert, Fraser
    Ings, Mitrovic, Vardy

    1FT, 0.4 ITB.
    Still have WC

    I think I need to swap PVA for cheaper defender. Doherty, Bennet, Pereira, Yedlin, are tops on my list. Anyone else I should be looking at?
