    Big if but IF dgw29 happens I'm tripling up on city. We'll know what and who happened in the cup game pre deadline. No reason the big guns won't stsrt both 29 games then rest in 30 to be fresh for Madrid. And if I'm wrong then they may start BURNLEY which is fine by me

    Was looking to either ship Grealish for a Leicester mid or save, Tony's potential injury has clouded that.

      On the same boat - same bench and same attackers, except I've got Lucas Moura to your Traore. No idea - I want some clarity on the Martial situation before I potentially sell, and I guess I wouldn't mind playing Greenwood this week if it means 2FTs for the one after.

        Yeah, luckily I can afford to wait so can still get Bruno even if he rises today. Pretty vague comments on Martial thus far so waiting for more info. is definitely prudent.

          Thing is, I don't think we're likely to get news before tomorrow's deadline. But as I said, personally I'm happy to rely on Greenwood for now and use 2FTs next week.

            Yeah it's a fair call on Greenwood, if no definitive news on Martial would you bench him and start Greenwood or start Tony with Greenwood first on the bench?

                  Just checked your team link - so you are, impressive. Hopefully you'll finish with a three-digit rank! I'm way too far down - my one good season in the past was probably down to beginner's luck!

    everyone saying Barnes is a good transfer in but I'm not so convniced now. While fixtures may be appealing he's not nailed to play 90 mins every week and not even certain of a starting role. He's normally one of the first players subbed

    With Martial's injury do I rely on Stephens(whu) off the bench or Fernandes for -4?

    Martial & Grealish -> Fernandes & Barnes -4 done. Probably should've waited but whatever.

      I’m so close to doing the exact same moves. I’m almost tempted to Fernandes(c) to justify the hit....

    would you ditch Mahrez for a hit if there's a dgw?
    I am fielding 11 this week, but one of them is greenwood/traore

    Seems like Richarlison may be a better pick than Fernandes considering Everton is more likely to have a match gw 31. Of course, if you are taking a free hit that week, it probably doesn't matter.

        Yes, they only play if they lose to Derby and Sheffield Utd lose to Reading.
