        "With Ward’s club form called into question and City dropping down the table towards relegation, Brendan Rodgers brought in Daniel Iversen against Brentford last time out. The Dane has been guaranteed a run of games and is set to start at Crystal Palace on Saturday (3pm)."

    Currently team is:

    Rashford, March, Mitoma (C), Martinelli, Saka
    Kane, Toney, Watkins

    Should I...
    A) Saka to Bruno -8
    B) Martinelli to Maddison -8
    C) Stick on current squad.

      I think Fernandes might be worth getting this week but it's hard getting rid of Saka! Think I would lean towards getting Fernandes though.

        Cheers. Yes it's hard losing Saka! Although ML rival doesn't have him, but does have Martinelli, so it could be safer to lose Saka from that perspective.

    Shaw or Chilwell? (I'm using BB this week, FH32)

    Currently leaning towards Shaw on the basis that he has one more DGW to come and is a bit more nailed than Chilwell, who could be rotated in future weeks around the Champions League matches. But Chilwell would be more exciting this week...

    Gabriel, Trippier, Chilwell, Botman, Estupinan
    March, Mac Allister, Saka, Odegaard, Rashford (c)
    Toney, Kane, Watkins

    Plan on BB with this.

    1 FT 5.9 ITB

    A) Gabriel and Odegaard to Shaw and Bruno -4
    B) Gabriel, Odegaard, Saka and Kane to Shaw, Bruno, Salah and Solanke -12 (allows Toney to Haaland next GW) This gives me 15 players on BB
