      Money ITB could come in useful. I have the exact same dilemma with 5.9 to spend on last midfield spot and I prefer JWP because as my 8th attacker he's mostly going to be benched and it gives me more room to manoeuvre.

  Dunk to Bennett/Bednarek lets you have Jota as your fifth, that's what I'd do.
  
  Dunk no good for GW 35 anyway

Is JWP really that much better then Hojbjerg for BB35?
Hojbjerg would allow me straight swap from Deeney to Rashford in gw37, otherwise I would have to use 2 transfers.

Which 2 to bench this GW:

a. Robbo (CHE)
b. Laporte (cry)
c. Duffy (BOU, CAR)
e. Dunk (BOU, CAR)
f. Deu (ARS)
g. Deeney (ARS)

Leaning towards a/g? Feels wrong to bench Robbo.

I guess I found the perfect Kane-less team:

Ryan
Doherty - Kolasinac - Duffy
Salah - Sterling - Eriksen - Son
Aguero (C) - Jimenez - Deeney

Foster - JWP - Bednarek - Holebas

All of my players have double gw except Salah. I'll use my BB next week and TC (Salah) probably gameweek 36. I'll also get some Liverpool defender after gw 35. Anything I should change?

  I think foster is chosen more than gunn because most people already have bednarek/valery in their defence and doubling up on Southampton is not a fantastic combination. Foster isn't necessarily a better pick

  I think most people are picking Foster based on his slightly better GW35 set of double fixtures, whereas Gunn has the better fixtures beyond that point in my opinion.
  
  So yeah, I don't think he is. I'm going for Gunn and banking the 0.3.

  I have Lloris so I only need a second keeper for the BB in GW 35.
  
  Watford have the best fixtures, and their defenders are less secure in their starts.
  Also, Foster + Bednarek costs less than Gunn + Cathcart (8.6 Foster

    fair enough...let me simplify.
    
    A: Ryan + Trippier + Laporte + Bednarek
    B: Lloris + Holebas/Kola + Laporte + Valery
    C: Lloris + Dunk + Holebas + Valery + 1.7m which will allow sterling > Salah in gw36 for free

Which is better?

A) Aguero & Mane

B) Sterling & Firmino

Concerned that Mane's recent run of form may have come to an end

      I did have KDB over Pogba in a previous draft. Guess I got focused on west ham fixture at home looking favourable

Managed to narrow things down to basically 4 options to finish my WC squad. The other 9 slots are basically settled. What are people’s thoughts?

A. Laporte (or any other 6m def), Salah, Sterling, JWP (5th mid), Deeney, Vardy
B. Laporte, Salah, Jota (or any other 6.1m mid), JWP, Kun, Vardy
C. Laporte, Sterling, Mané, Jota (5th mid) Kun, Deeney
D. Cathcart (or any other 4.5m def), Salah, Sterling, Hojbjerg, Kun, Deeney

RMT on the members area has them ranked D, C, B, A in terms of points but there’s not much in it. Worried D leaves the defence and bench very light

Hojbjerg over JWP if it means I could get both Aguero AND eriksen alongside Sterling and Son?

JWP 5th mid, while I like him better, means I can’t get both

Is it worth keeping Vardy 1 more week then upgrading to Aguero?

Current team is:

Lloris Foster
Robbo TAA Kola Duffy Dunk*
Salah Eriksen Son Jota JWP
Vardy Jimenez Deeney

3.1 million in the bank

*plan to move Dunk to a Wolves defender next week

Lads there are obvious names that have been filling the template and many teams have similar line ups. We see Aguero, Jiminez, Deeney, Sterling, Eriksen, Son, Laporte everywere, but who are the best differentials for 34 and 35?

Im chasing a leader with 50 points on me, so i want my team to be as different as possible, without swaying too far away from the template. KDB over Sterling is 1 of my punts. I think 2 or 3 punts should be enough.

  I like Doucouré over Jota, if that counts as a differential.
  
  I also think Trippier could be a good pick over some of the other options, but there are uncertainties there.

  KDB is a good punt
  Ings is a risky punt (but could get a big reward)
  Mkhy is possibly worth a punt
  CHO/RLC if you're really going for it

  50 points isn’t much. Captaincy alone could catch that.
  
  I think Vardy is an excellent ‘differential’ This week. He is the one I’d go for.

I find double ups are the best way to create differentials. I’m going double Liverpool and double Man City defense (best two defenses in the league in stats by far).

  A lot changes in football quite quickly. At this point I favour double Pool attack over double Pool defence. 2 of Mane, Salah and Firmino could be gold for 35 and 36. Firmino in particular looks very slick.

  Double ups are the best way to create variance - that’s not always a good thing
