        This season, I'm trying to keep reminding myself to compare a 5.5 - 7m attacker with the points potential of a premium defender, but I think this front 7 represents excellent value combined with 3 captaincy choices.

            I've been blinkered too. Bought him last year after his hat-trick and he blanked for the next 6 or so games, so I've just ignored him this year. Mad considering his underlying stats.

      Have the same but with Fraser over Jiminez.

      Those 6 seem to be popular atm, but I'm starting to question Salah's price, and wonder if Sterling or Mane would be better use of the funds.

        Yeah, I'm similar with Barkley in a 352 and Mané over Hazard. Look to be at a crossroads on whether to spend 1m upgrading Barkley or downgrading and doing Success > Jiminez. Cardiff and Huddersfield up soon is very tempting!

              I wouldn't go for Ings, personally. Owned him previously and he did ok actually, but Southampton just don't create enough chances.

              I know Jiminez has Arsenal up next, but it's Cardiff and Huddersfield after that. Might be better at 5.7m.

        Last week I did Tomkins > Mendy very early then Haz presser said he would only play 40mins so I could only do the move to Sterling(C) for a hit which I then decided against and it has left me with RAGE ever since 🙂

        I think there's an argument to be made for Richarlison, Duffy or Camarasa in in the starting XI. Quite tempted to bench Richarlison.

          Maybe. All seem pretty similar this week. Just go with your gut, don't think any are going to get a mega haul.

        Liked the way Camarasa has looked, Brighton atrocious on the road, I always prefer the attacker in these situations. probably nothing in it though.

          Your call, your team ....

          ....but one has 30 points (2 returns- 1gl,1as) and the other has 46 points (6 returns-2gls,2ass, and 3cs in last 4, played every minute & only conceded 1 at Anfield and 2 at etihad)

    Either going to go for Martial or Gudmundson for free to replace Maddison. I like Martial's fixtures after the Derby and Gudmundsons next few.

    Who'd you go with?

      Hardly a like for like comparison, 6.0 to 7.5, depends on what you do with the extra $. That said, I think Burnley is best avoided right now, at both ends of the pitch.

      He did not train today, and Dinnery said he was nursing a slight foot knock. Nothing more on that, suppose we'll know tomorrow.
