    On a WC, am I mad to not get rid of James if I have no reasonable cover (Paterson and Neco)?

    Wouldn't be able to afford to get him back in if he doesn't drop though

    As a Newcastle fan that predicted line up is pretty depressing, even if it's a possibility and Liverpool are likely to win easily anyway.

    With James out and a weak bench, im thinking of doing James to Walker/Dias then change back next week. Thoughts?

      Can see the temptation but what you are most likely doing is spending two transfers to make the difference between Walker/Dias' probable 6 points and what your first sub will get: maybe 2. So two transfers for four points? Sounds quite expensive IMO.
