    a) Almiron > Mahrez

    b) Patterson > Schar

    c) Mitrovic > Nketiah

    d) Almiron > Mudryk

      A. High potential between now and GW25, maybe all the way to GW27 if he doesn't rotate during UCL

      I have Mahrez to Mudryk in mind as a GW26 move

      Mitro can easily start until GW26, while GW23 is the last good game for Schar in a while. Maybe Patterson to an Arsenal defender instead, if you don't have one

    Ødegaard Martinelli [BrunoF Rashford March]

    If you have only seven starters BGW25 would you (A) gradually build up team for 10 possible starters or just (B) strengthen your team and have maybe 9 starters?

    e.g. GW23 1FT:

    (A) Shaw > Gabriel
    (B) Castagne > Gabriel, bench Botman(bou)

      Bit of both. Yes you want to move towards those playing in 25 (and 28) but not at the expense of the weeks between.

      E.g. I've gone for Mitoma this week as the upsides exceed the risk I end up only fielding 10 (although I have enough FT to get 11 out)
