  Tough one but probably A, just.
  
  I feel both Brighton & Villa will concede and although Dunk has better attacking potential than Konsa, I'm not sure I'd want to counteract some benefit of playing RAN.

3 FTs, 0.4m ITB & desperately trying to switch to a 3-4-3

Sanchez
TAA - Porro - Lewis - Keane
Salah - Mbuemo - Johnson
Haaland - Havertz - Welbeck

Fabianski - Konsa - Onana - Winks

A) Onana + Porro > McNeil + VdV
B) Onana + Konsa > McNeil + DEF fodder
C) Havertz + Onana + TAA > Raul + Palmer + DEF fodder

Wissa and Mbuemo seems a bit heavy to double up on Brentford attack?

  I've gone with it and currently the triple up with VdB.
  
  I feel that they compliment each other and both the Ipswich and upcoming fixture run is too good to pass up.

    Will Wissa start mate? Id get him too if his starting spot wasn't under consideration after injury.

      I'm confident he does after 24 minutes on his first game back.
      
      I predict him starting with a possibility of at least 60-70 minutes gametime as a mininum - which i will take vs Ipswich, followed by a rather nice run of fixtures

To free up funds for Saka to Palmer - Raya to Sels (no other Arsenal) or Konate to Mylenko (no other Liv def).

Thanks!

Which is the best idea of these?
A) Saka to Palmer (exact money) FT

B) Saka to Mbeumo + Welbeck to Wood -4 (would like to cover ML rivals who both have Wood, as I'm only 10 pts in front)

C) Saka to Son + Welbeck to Wood -4

Cheers.

"there’s a comfort factor with having it in your locker for the later part of the season when you can go for a Hail Mary, say bring in a Salah when his ownership is very low and hope for a big differential boost against a popular Haaland captaincy. "

or

"There is a comfort factor with making a very risky play"!
