It seems like every man and his dog is on a Wildcard this week but four-time top 5k finisher Az is not – and here’s what he has planned for Gameweek 8.

Gameweek 7 Pro Pundit Article

I’m taking a break from my normal team selection video to put some thoughts down in written form.

I could use the help this week, with several possibilities for transfers entering my mind as we head towards the Gameweek 8 deadline.

    Prefer Kane over KDB but prefer Isak over Bowen, last minute wildcard decisions

    Which option would you go with ?

    A) Zouma + Bailey
    B) Digne + Andreas

    Cheers.

      B.
      Neither really excite me but feel B has a higher ceiling and a little bit more reliable.

    Morning chaps, foolishly did my transfers early now stuck on what to do. 1FT & 2 mil TSB.
    Ederson
    Trippier Schar Cancelo Saliba
    Martinelli Andreas
    Jesus Haaland Archer
    OUT-Antony-Salah-Luis Diaz-Dalot

    Thinking Antony out but for who? And should I take a hit to remove anyone else?

      Salah out to KDB or anyone really for the FT would work.

        I was thinking that mate. Would you take a hit to move Antony on? Would leave me with 10.2 to spend on a midfielder

          Too many City players for KDB

          If you're desperate to keep Liverpool then Antony makes sense. I still think it's a bit early to get him in so you can easily move him out too - lots of options available. Foden maybe if you want City coverage but cannot get KDB?

            I have Ederson Cancelo & Haaland so too many city players to get KDB. Salah - Son?

      B- Id go with Almiron over Bailey myself even though I do think he brings balance to that Villa side and will feature more from now on in

        Tough one. I'd slightly lean towards B as I think going Cancelo over Dias outweighs the midfielder difference, but only just. Personally prefer Almiron especially with their fixtures.

    Bottomed. Thinking of taking the following (-4) to get XI == Salah + TAA + Archer --> KDB + Perisic + Mitrovic - worth it?

    Ward
    Cancelo -- Trippier -- N.Williams
    Martinelli - Andreas
    Jesus -- Haaland

    Sánchez -- TAA -- James -- Salah -- GroB -- Diaz -- Archer [2FT + 0.0m ITB]

      TBH I'd WC that. It's not great and you need a hit to get XI and are still stuck with Ward. Your team is also not really good enough to hold on until GW13.
