    Evening 🙂

    Kepa
    Trippier Schar Henry Zinchenko
    Saka Martinelli (Rashford)
    Kane Toney Watkins
    Raya // Mitoma March Estupiñán

    Haven't made the Haaland > Watkins move yet, but most likely will.

    Reckon it may be worth a defensive transfer for Chilwell too. Who leaves?
    A) Henry
    B) Zinchenko
    C) Schar

    Not selling Estupiñán despite the blank. B/C possible doubts, although feel C will play. B maybe too? Brentford defense looked poo, but if I sold Zinchenko would at least have 1 extra doubler come GW32.

      I reckon Henry would be the lowest scorer of that lot across 28-9. Happy to see that you're in the double Chelsea wing back club too so maybe I'm not completely crazy

        Haha. I'd like to get James but he's too brittle. Agree RE: Henry, don't see many CSs... But the extra fixtures.

        Just feels annoying to sell if either Zinchenko/Schar didn't end up stating this weekend

    So, my Captain choices are down to Chilly, Saka or Watkins. What are you choices and who are you going with? Should be a good gameweek this week as a lot of managers will have different teams, captain choices etc. Good luck chaps…

    Take 2nd hit to do Haaland —> Kane?

    Thinking I might captain Kane over Saka…

      Kane (sou, eve) probably similar to Haaland (LIV) +4, but captaincy in GW28 makes it worth it.

    Eh, well, I didn't want Shaw in my team to begin with :-p Locked and loaded, I think:

    Kepa
    Chilwell - Trippier - Botman - Mings
    Saka - Trossard - Maddison - Odegaard
    Watkins (c) - Kane

    Steele, Haaland, Estupiñan, Rashford

    If someone can make a case for Fofana over Mings, speak now.
