    I have 2 FT's. Which of these moves appeals more?

    A. KDB + Emerson - Son + Vertonghen/Soyuncu (Already own Sterling)
    B. Greenwood + KDB - Wilson + Cantwell (Save the extra money for later. Will also mean a formation switch to 3-4-3)
    C. KDB + Haller + Emerson - Son + Wilson + Soyuncu for a -4

    Ideally would like to get Auba in, but I can't do that without getting out Sterling.

      Auba for fixtures, he can score in most of them.

      Kun because better captain.

      Tough choice, your call.

        4.5 for a Chelsea defender is still great value. I think when Kante is back he looks even more appealing.

        I'm more interested in the fact he's played 90 minutes in the last two rather than that freak goal.

    Callum Wilson next 4 look absolutely superb. Down 0.2 and could be great diff in my ML.

    Worth noting that Rashfords next few look great too I'm just not convinced he's getting the chances despite the penalty inflated XG stats.

    I've got so lost in tinkering I can't see the wood from the trees. Need some advice from you wise people. Current team looks like this:

    2FT 0.5itb
    Heaton
    VVD, Zinch, Digne, AWB
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Pukki, Haller
    (Button) (Lunds, Dendo, Greenwood)

    These are the players I'd like to bring in over the next couple of weeks, but not sure which and how many at once:
    Abraham, Son, TAA, Cantwell

    Players I'm willing to lose/ downgrade:
    VVD, AWB, Mount (if I'm getting Abraham), Digne (if absolutely necessary), and of course happy to drop Dendo and Greenwood
    It looks like to get Son I would have to lose KDB which makes me way too nervous!

    I could do:
    Mount, Greenwood, AWB > Abraham, Cantwell, Rico (-4) and have 0.6itb to upgrade VVD > TAA next week?

    Thoughts appreciated as ever 🙂

    VVD and TAA is one too many Liverpool defenders, looking to swtich VVD to a 4.5ish. Burnley looks the best option with the fixtures, but already own Pope and is a double up worth it?

    Salah/Sterling/KDB/Mount/Lanzini
    Pukki/Barnes/Greenwood

    I would really like to have Mane over Salah; lose: Digne, WB, Ryan, Lanzini, Barnes, possibly also Sterling, and include Son, one of Kun/Auba
