GAMEWEEK 36 TRANSFER PLANS

When Solly March (£5.3m) pulled up with a hamstring issue after coming off the bench in Monday’s 5-1 defeat to Everton, the first player that came to mind as a possible replacement was his Brighton and Hove Albion teammate Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m).

Having not owned the World Cup winner at any point this season, going into each Gameweek without him has been an uncomfortable ride due to his significant ownership around my rank and penalty-taking duties. With Brighton having two extra fixtures over most other teams in the league, making the sideways switch makes too much sense for me not to do it.

      Wolves at home for United though- Bruno could do well and would not want to bench Haaland ( personally think he starts and comes off once game won so hopefully after he scores!)

With MacAllister looking like rising in price tonight and March presently-98 on fpl stats would you just make move tonight? Seems unlikely that we will hear in press conference tomorrow that March going to be ok

A Make move now
B Wait for press conference

      I do have fat but .1/.2 m drop in value might impact on moves in 37/38. Don’t know what they may be yet

  If you're set on the move I'd do it now. He should be out at least a couple weeks at a guess

I have a triple captain chip left. When would you play it and who on? Was considering Isak this week, more obvious would be Haaland in his double week or Rashford/Fernandes. I need as much differential as possible and open to gambling. What do you think?
