    Assuming we get rid of this cretin in the next week or so - imagine Cantona in charge with Keano as assistant. Should soon sort them out

                think I might risk it and get Saka in for Cantwell just for one week! and then with the 2 frees downgrade son and upgrade haller and Saka

                  Seems a good plan - Saka looks the real deal and with your team looking as good as it does the only real alternative is to burn the FT. This way looks good both short term and long term

    Bottom of last page, sorry.

    So I'm either saving a transfer or taking a hit this week.

    I'm gonna hold kdb. If he's hurt I have to play Rico away to arsenal, which makes me want to sell Salah this week.

    Should I...

    Save transfer and play Salah and Rico this week

    Or

    Take a hit to get vardy and mount in for salah and greenwood

    Or

    Take a hit to get auba and one of guendouzi/Saka/Mcginn for salah and greenwood?

    Most people on the last page said save, but playing Rico is gonna suck this week.

      Cantwell if fit (home game), I like it, mahrez has a lot of potential for an 8.5m mid and is in form. Just have a route to get kdb back planned out though.

        What injury does cantwell have? Is he likely to be subbed on or is it just a case of start or no show? I really like the Mahrez pick especially if bilva is out. Kdb out isn’t ideal especially losing 0.2 only reason I’m willing to do it is cause I still have my wildcard if I can’t find a viable route to kdb back in

      I’m starting g Lundstram even if Cantwell is fine. hoping for a clean sheet and an assist since they are playing WAT who have only scored 4 goals and conceded 20 goals so far.

        Yeah seeing Lundstram playing just behind the strikers made me think I need to start him more often but cantwell at home to villa is tempting. If Farke isnt really positive might play it safe and start Lundstram

    Pretty certain I am going to go without Auba and Vardy and hold Mane.
    Instead it will simply be Haller to Wilson.
    Question is do it now with 1ft or wait.
    Ars defence is brutal whereas CP have been ok.
    I kinda feel Wilson could outscore Haller this week.

    A. Move now and use the FT
    B. Hold and do it next week With 2FT and roll one.

    A lot of the talk seems to be about Aubameyang. I've contemplated a -4 myself to get him in at the expense of Salah. But in my case I could avoid a hit and get a striker who plays Norwich, Watford and Newcastle in the next 5... all this while keeping Salah.

    C. Wilson instead of Auba anyone?

      That's exactly my move or hold Ft and do
      Haller to Wilson next week.
      I would be losing Mane but much the same difference for Auba or Vardy or both.
      It not just saving a transfer now it's saving a transfer GW13 too and if both for a hit that's a -8 overall
      I think Wilson can stay with that range easily.
      And yeah the fixtures swing it for me and Ars in the top 5 for worst defence with the other 3 you mentioned.

City without KDB, and people just saying well they played well without him last year. People forget that Sané was in the mix then. Without laporte as well, there is a lot of players that are components in how they play that will not be there.

      Looks good, since you have Lund i would perhaps say Soy and play Lund this week. Lei def better defense. If KDB is out for just one gw and no other injuries i would be tempted to just hold even on a wc and play Cantwell. That way you get yourself to an easy swap from Pukki to Vardy even though doing a wc with a plan to bring in a player next week, i would perhaps just done it at once, Vardy in for Pukki so you save yourself a transfer along the way. Pukki must get 4 points better this week and you will get to save next week as your team would be quite good going into gw 9.
      I have reposted about Son to many posters here and i´ll repeat it; he plays in the ib for south korea, long travel and they have a cl game just after which they need to win. Then they have Pool away. Brighton is not the worst mind, but Spurs usually struggle after CL midweek games and Brighton do actually doing ok defensively. Spurs on the road is also a bit meh..
