    Hi all...good luck this weekend...pretty set on my wildcard now, just a couple of position I wouldn't mind some advise on;

    Bachmann Elliot
    Christensen Walker Shaw Williams Livramento
    Salah Torres Benrahma Gray Sissoko
    Antonio Ronaldo Lukaku

    With their fixtures the only team I wouldn't mind getting some cover in for is Wolves. My options as I see it to fit around the rest of the team I am happy with is;

    Christensen - Any Wolves defender
    and/or
    Benrahma to Traore/Trincao etc.

    Any advice would be appreciated - cheers all.

      I wouldn’t go with Walker on a WC. I’d switch to Rudiger and swap Christensen to a Wolves defender if you’re set on having one. Coady probably and bank the 0.5

      Walker is a strange pick, will he nit rotate & fixtures not great.

      Semedo or Marcal for cheaper

      Trincao & Traore are a flip of a coin, both look good & I think Wolves are about to explode

    Decided on this midfield:

    Salah - Jota - Greenwood - Torres - Benhrama

    rolling the dice. Would rather have them and they flop than the reverse. Lots of alternatives and value in their range(s) to upgrade the defence if need be

        Like it was me mentioned on Blackbox, midfield is where the bandwagons and the transfers to be used are going to be

        As someone that started with Mane, Barnes and Buendia (and then switched to Pogba), I know how crucial getting on the right ones are
