    A) Wilson (rotation risk maybe? but 5 goals pre-season)
    B) Anderson (lower risk but lower reward?)

      Who is Wilson rotating with? I thought he was safe pick. ESR more rotation risk by sound of it

    Sanchez // (Verbrug)
    Aina - Neco - Porro // (VDV, Diouf)
    Wirtz - Palmer - Reijnders - Gakpo // (KDH)

      The bench itself looks very good and the team looks good enough you probably won't need an immediate wildcard.

    Decided to go with Haaland over Salah, could backfire but thats the choice ive made. Here is the team:

    Sanchez Dubravka
    Porro N.Williams Diouf Esteve Konsa
    Palmer Wirtz Bruno Reijinders KDH
    Haaland Watkins Fulkrug

    A) Watkins + Reijinders
    B) Joao Pedro + Rogers

        Milenkovic and Murillo just more stable route to points with DC. Plus once europe starts up I think they will be that little bit more nailed. But alas I don't have the money so Williams is fine.

            From what I've read he's well known for his stamina and set pieces. That screams 90 mins to me. Everton have struggled for set piece delivery. He got 12 goals and 14 assists in the Championship for Leicester.

            He was amazing against Roma the other day. Moyes said after how much of step up in quality he is. Will start over Garner as the 8 most likely.

        I'd add Alderate to that. He'll be 1st choice CB for Sunderland, so probably better DefCons than Reinildo. Slight risk for GW1.

    Why Reijnders over Cherki?

    Cherki seems like a nice differential?

        So we are convinced they are much of the same player... it's just the price point.

        If you had 6.5 ITB would you go Cherki over Reijnders. Or Bank the 1mil?

      1 mil less
      deeper role (a solo DM or double pairing DM - likely later in the season) so DC potential increased

      Reijnders is more a box to box , I actually think he's more nailed when Rodri plays to cover the space he vacates, not sure Pep trusts Gonzalez positional discipline yet

    Toying with this Benchboost GW1:

    Sels - Vicario
    Murillo - Milenkovic - Porro - Romero - Diouf
    Palmer - Bruno - Wirtz - Georgino - Reijnder
    Watkins - Bowen - João Pedro

    If I BB, I'll be tripling on two defences, I prefer the high risk high reward strategy.

      Like the high risk high reward approach to BB given bench boosts can often be a disappointment so the gamble on big returns is fun, but personally I think going without either big hitter is too risky

        I had Wirtz instead of Saka for a long time, but I think proven asset nudges is. Plus Saka to Wirtz is an easy downgrade. Harder the other way around....

      The 8m+ players look great but beyond that it's uninspiring. Don't love Gakpo or Evanilson either. Don't get leaving 0.5m in the bank when you're avoiding the two most expensive players.
