      Jimi, on the basis that if either of them are going to haul it'll probably be the more explosive Pulisic. Might as well aim big.

      You have more faith in United than most on FHs do.

      If you're happy with that judgement call (which could go either way) then it's a strong team. More in defence than I'd personally like but then they are very attacking defenders so it might work well.

      Just ran the stats on Antonio and Fernandes, there isn't much in it, I think I'll go for the one with the easier fixture who also enables me to get Digne.

    I lead in my ML with 19 pts before the final GW. However my opponent has his Triple Captain available and 2 FT:

    Me:

    1 FT

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Fernandez
    Salah, Bruno, KDB, Martial,
    Greenwood, Jimi, Auba

    Button, Robinson, Taylor, Hayden

    My opponent:

    2 FT

    Patricio
    Digne, Doherty, Aurier
    Sterling, Bruno, KDB, Martial
    Greenwood, Jimi, Jesus

    I think its feasible to make Salah Jimi to Sterling Jesus (-4) and bet he will Triple captain Sterling? “Cover him” tactic

    I think he will make Doherty Jimi to Burnley defender and Auba. At least this is what I would do with his 2 FT.

    I would appreciate all the input, mates!

      Judging by your opponents players, firstly yes to him going Sterl (TC)
      secondly I agree regarding your thoughts on his transfers but keep in mind either Bruno or martial could be shafted for Son but otherwise he can only go lower.
      The extra cash from Doherty > Burnley def +Bruno = 11.9+/- ( depending on when he got him), is his limit which prevents Salah/Mane unless he has 0.6/0.3 currently itb

      He can also go Kane instead of Auba so keep that in mind

      otherwise I'd say your intended transfers are gtg

        Thank your for you time and input, mate!
        Of course we cant know his two transfers. But I have a feeling he might touch his Gk because Doherty can still make assists.
        As for the covering I have already done Salah to Sterling.
        Not sure If I have to take a hit Jimi to Jesus though... it will easily reduce the lead to 15 even before matches started.
        Im wondering if my Ncastle defender to Walker or Laporte is worth the hit?
        Fernandez can easily go to 0 or even -1, -2. Then again he can do something good from a corner...
        Your view?
