    For people getting in Dalot. There's a very high chance of Amad starting as wing back under Amorim. Amorim plays wingers in wing back positions and Amad suits that role perfectly.

      it's true Amad is defensively disciplined to do it. Just need to wait and see where everyone fits in.

      I expect Mazraoui to play as the outside CB even if he's not left or right. Could even play DM, just a class player.

        Yea crossed my mind, were the two assists last week a bit out of character though? Or is he normally quite attacking? Never really paid much attention to him.

          The heatmaps show he gets forward a fair bit, more than someone like Aina for example.

          But maybe find a Bournemouth fan to clarify. I do seem to remember back end of last season him being a bit attack minded too

            Yea I think you're right. They have only had one clean sheet though so not keen on relying on attacking returns alone.

      I would say A or B due to fixtures but with Amorim coming in there's no cetainty of where Mazraoui plays, it could be centre back.

        Yep, my concern too. I can actually afford to bring in Hall for Greaves as well if I go for Maz, have exact money. May get both so I have a little more strength in depth.

      I would go with Aina. After 10 games that Forest defence is looking pretty solid, a lot more so than we would have thought when the season started. Aina is the top point scorer for them and is only 3 points behind Virgil and 2 points off Gvardiol, and he's 1.6M cheaper.

        That's why he's on my list...my only reservation is that the fixtures aren't too great. You still think he's a better option than Maz despite fixtures?

          Firstly, I believe in form over fixtures. Second, are the fixtures really that difficult? A home game against a shaky Newcastle, Arsenal are struggling to find avenues to goal, winless Ipswich, and a Man City team who are in their worst form for a long time.
          I'll back in a defender who plays on a well drilled, organised and confident team over a player who has a new manager arriving next week with a new system, different ideas and a lot of new philosophy to bed down. We don't even know where Maz, or any other Man U player, fits in that system.
          And yes, Aina is part of my back three.

      It might be worth the punt but it's a 50/50. Brentford showed last game that maybe they start to play a little more conservatively going forward but are a better team than Wolves.

    Need some thoughts on how to use my 1 FT this week. My team is

    Fabianski
    Robinson-Ait Nouri-Gvardiol
    Salah-Palmer-Mbuemo-ESR
    Watkins-Cunha-Wood

    Martinez-Rogers-Van den berg-Dunk (5.1m itb)

    I'd like to transfer out ESR and Watkins.I think the best forward options start next GW so will move Watkins to Isak or Jackson then. Do I go ESR to
    A) Son (IPS this week but then mci and he would be moved out for Saka in a few weeks)
    B) B Fernandes (3 good fixtures then can go to Saka)

    What you guys think?

          Hojlund a good punt without form. Welbeck v City that conceded 6 goals in their last 2 games and in PL have 2 CS in 10 games. Wood top striker form in FPL. Wissa worth a look too. He'll score or do awfully regardless of you having 2 Brentford players.

            Yeah, fair point re: Welbeck. My City perception is bias.

            Wood does traditionally not do well against top 6 teams, that analysis has been done and published.

          I think the only Man Utd asset I'd bring in is B Fernandes because of pens. Hojlund punt only had fixtures going for it and once next week hits there are much better forwards to pick so as a 1 week punt it's a no for me.
