    Only got 0.5itb so defensive upgrades are limited. 1ft.
    Any suggestions?

    Probably going to get stung by rotation, but most will be in the same boat, so not making FTs based on that.

    A) Davis > Saliba
    B) Bruno > Semenyo
    C) Flekken > Raya (bench Verbruggen)

      I'm in a vaguely similar position below. I like double Arsenal defence but leaning towards waiting until after Fulham game.

        I think if you have no other fires, and are relatively well set up for the festive season, getting another nailed Arsenal defender now probably makes sense (otherwise you might never find chance to do it).

      Son against Chelsea and Saints will be alright, should not be too +/- Vs Saka over two-three games. Maybe wait on that one.
      I don't think Trent's urgent to own against Everton if you can stomach his inevitable price rise.
      Hits perhaps not required.
      What to do with Boomo is tricky, keeping is not a bad option if it's unclear, and having a couple of frees next GW

    My defence is currently
    Gabriel, Lewis, Hall, Mykolenko, Milenkovic
    2.2itb

    Fancy Liverpool coverage, although also tempted by double Arsenal. Choices:

    A) Lewis - TAA (exact money)
    B) Lewis - VVD
    C) Mykolenko - VVD
    D) Mykolenko - Timber
    E) Other?

      Solanke is a tricky one, playing Saints themselves after Chelsea. Solanke to Watkins to Isak/Solanke would be nice. But may be better to ignore the Villa-Saints game, and hope Watkins gets rested for Duran

    It's just dawned on me that I still have a wildcard so only need to plan a few weeks ahead. Can start picking up punts...

    Just to make absolutely sure, am I correct in my reading of the rules that I can use the first wildcard FOR gameweek 19 transfers?

        I've not forgotten I had a wildcard spare, it's just that I've kept making transfers with 6-7 gameweeks of fixtures in mind, when I only need to think up to gw19 (or maybe 18)

          Guys, how many points did you score?
          I'm on 53 points - which isn't great I know, but thought should be somewhat decent - and I'm looking at a big, fat red arrow.
          Did everyone captain Salah or is it Timber/Saliba that did the damage?
          The only good thing is I have Pedro, Welbeck and Semenyo today, but i don't know what to expect.

            Salah captain and double arsenal defence will have hurt a fair bit.

            Bit of bench jam going around too (if you're looking at the official site, then it's probably going to get worse).

                  Did we get lucky though? IMO Jackson would easily have outscored Rogers if he'd got an hour against that Saints defence.

              Recent form and price suggests so.

                Too risky. For a one week punt, sure but the Chelsea attack is a minefield other than Palmer and Jackson.
                De Bruyne is massive rotation risk due to ongoing injury that he discussed last night

              Hi guys,
              Liverpool could go with Quansah at CB, right?
              Feel like Gomez is a risk. He made a bit of a clanger last night that should have resulted in a toon goal

                It's possible but I'm still going with Gomez/VVD for the derby

                  Joemez had a tough game, but he's generally been very reliable for Liverpool when called upon. I think he'll keep his spot.

                  Buonanotte could be interesting assuming Leicester improve under Ruud.

                Somehow I'm still clinging on to Foden as a weird differential. I'd love to stay the course, but worried about the mid-week no-show (and accompanying success).

                Do we think he's back in the side at the weekend? Or do I sell for Rashford/Mitoma/...?

                What should I do with this defense?

                Gabriel RAN Kerkez Colwill Pau

                I'm thinking roll since Colwi Kerkez and RAN should be available and don't like defender transfers, unless Gabriel is out for longterm

                Do I need to use the WC this week to get a better set up of City/Pool/Arse/Chelsea players?

                  Like other users below like Biffa remind us, using the WC increases our risk of making mistakes in so far as we use it as an excuse to make transfers out of players we would otherwise be perfectly content to keep.
                  I think anyone on this website would look at your team and say it doesn't need a WC. But if you used WC, then I bet you'd take out Gvardiol for Timber, as an example.

                  I guess that your WC can be used to only make 2 or 3 changes, you don't have to change 7 or 8 just because your wildcarding. Doing so doesn't mean you haven't maximised it or anything like that. Sometimes doing nothing, or not doing a transfer, is the correct move.

                  It depends. I can see a way of improving the defence/gk significantly and maybe tightening the bench up.

                I see a lot of people still with their wild cards and no real reason to use it which is why I like to make the most of it early doors but I’m interested to see how those who have used it and when are ranked vs those who haven’t.

                Used GW3 OR 19k

                Team hasn’t changed bar Haaland out and Cunha in.

                  Used GW6 at 250k rank, fell to 1 million that gameweek. Disaster of a wildcard. Since then I've clawed it back to around 300k where I've been stuck for the last 5 weeks or so

                Do you guys think Rogers will finally be rested at weekend? Specially after Emerys comments of Buendia being ready to step in when needed.

                  Probably just taken off after 60 but Southampton are definitely the team to rest players against!

                  Leaning towards a rest with Leipzig in mind

                  Villa have now played Sunday (against Chelsea), Wednesday (against Brentford) and now play Saturday (Southampton), with RB Leipzig away in the Champions League on Tuesday.

                  Chelsea's result v Southampton last night won't have helped matters; Emery will see the game as a natural time to rotate because Southampton are so poor.

                I am having difficulty picking my keepers and defenders and their order in the bench. Can you guys help me

                Fab
                Gabriel Gomez RAN
                Bench: Sels vdberg Myko

                If I start Fab and Ran then I would like the score be 0-0 in that game but that is not so exciting. The other option is to start vdberg but brentford doesn’t seem likely to do defensively anyway…

                So what do you guys think?
