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.

  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

      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?

  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.

What to do with this lot?

Ramsdale, Ward
TAA*, Cancelo, James*, Trippier, Perisic
Salah*, Zaha*, Martinelli, Andreas, Dasilva
Haaland, Jesus, Archer

2FT
£0.3m ITB

A) Wildcard
B) Archer + Salah + TAA —> Kane + Bowen/Madders + Zouma (-4)
C) Archer + Salah + TAA —> Mitro + KDB + Zouma (-4)
D) any other suggestions?

Is Salah - Son a bad move? Not really seen Spurs much this season but Son doesn't seem to be scoring
