    Playing WC

    Areola
    Botman - Trippier - Kabore
    Son - Gordon - Mbeumo - Diaby - Salah
    Morris - Haaland

    Turner - Cash - Udogie - Archer.

    1.6 ITB. What do you think?

    Wondering about switching Mbeumo for Bowen (1 GW pick) and then change Jarrod for Madders.

      Seems a waste of a transfer when you're on a wildcard now and you'll be wanting to move out your Luton players after this week. I'd say just go with Bowen or Maddison now (whichever you want long term - they're both good options) and plan to upgrade Morris after this week

    I was thinking about wildcarding but I think a lot of the injured players might play.
    So I need to just take Chilwell out, who to bring in, (can't afford Trippier without taking a hit elsewhere).

    A)Schar
    B)Burn
    C)Cash

    Steele Maddison* Isak* Estu

    Yellow flagged players marked *

    Currently need just one of those yellow flagged players to play to get a guaranteed 11.

    I don’t really want to sell Saka, Isak to Alvarez would be the obvious one but I’ll have to bench someone to play him and I want Saka and Botman on the pitch if they are ok.

    Transfers would be for a hit. Uncomfortable roll?

    Help! Decision time... Maddison and Saka injured? I know Maddison seems ok. Advice please! Based on Maddison playing, I see my options as:

    1) Saka to Diaby?
    2) Saka to Bowen?
    3) Saka to Gordon?
    4) Roll, hope Saka plays and if he doesn't, Bell comes off my bench...

    My team:

    Ederson
    Estupinan - Trippier - Colwill
    Bruno Fernandes - Saka !! - Maddison !! - Rashford - Sterling
    Haaland - Alvarez
