Andy and Sam will be taking your questions live, as well as showing and interacting with the Premium Members Area to help with your key decisions ahead of Gameweek 8.

Be it Danny Ings (£8.5m) replacements, which West Ham United assets to buy, what to do with Liverpool defenders or anything else that is plaguing you, this is your chance to have that problematic poser answered.

The stream will be live at 12pm GMT today (Thursday).

    Martinez
    TAA Taylor Lamptey (Mitchell Saiss)
    Salah Son Foden Grealish Podence
    Kane DCL (Brewster)

    Wanting to get Podence out this week, potentially for Ziyech. Is it also worth getting Saiss out for Zouma/Bellerin and take a -4?

      Wouldn’t take the hit. Podence looked good, Saiss out may be needed if Mitchell and Lamptey out

      Yes.

      He started in the 4-0 win post lockdown. Mahrez has also been meh and isn't as good at pressing.

      My attempt at Pep Roulette is:

      Ederson
      Walker Dias Laporte Cancelo
      Rodri Gundo KdB
      Sterling Jesus Foden

      There is a chance that Foden is dropped for Torres based on recent form though.

    Hey!
    My defence is atm : Robertson, Lamptey, Kilman, Ward, Strujik.

    Quite bad tbh. I have 2FTs and 0.5 ITB. Considering Robbo, Ward > Coufal, Chillwell.

    Or best to do just one of those, maybe only Ward > Coufal?

      Might be worth the hit this time. I wouldn’t say it normally is for a defender. But two may not start there. Could you get Jiminez/Vardy for Ings instead of Bamford. I don’t think he will score as consistently.

    Here's my question that is always ignored:

    Do we finally have to admit this s the season of the casual, with plenty of top pros languishing ik 500k and below after almost 20% of the season has already gone? What is the reason for this casual-favored season?

      I think its the "professional" players who have started overanalysing and overcomplicating their game. Casuals or anyone keeping it simple has done well. For e.g., bringing in the 5.5m in-form forward who all the pros hated from day 1, or removing underperforming 7m+ fullback.

        This is probably the answer. Which is why the question constantly gets ignored by so-called "pros". They don't want to admit that they don't have an edge and that the game is 95% luck based.

        Already have him, worry is not many left on bench in case Werner too gets benched!!

      Theres a chance, yeah. Weak opposition, was meant to be rested last week.

        Exactly. Very strange from Lampard that he was letting him bench last week but played him and then again for 90 minutes in the mid week! I think his benching was imminent but with Havertz out now and also Puli, he may start Werner or at least that's what I'm hoping for 😛

    How was Ziyech last night? Need to replace Pulisic but not sure who to bring in. Looking forwards should I just go for KDB and downgrade Robbo?

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Dallas (Saiss* Mitchell*)
    Salah Son Pulisic* Grealish (Stephens)
    Kane DCL Bamford

        Not yet, but regardless he is too injury prone for my liking

    Would you do TAA and Mitrovic to Chilwell and Werner -4?

    Own Robbo too

      I wouldn't, but I can see the appeal.
