    Anything particularly pressing here? Debating Bowen > a 7.5m forward, but also debating a WC already before all these prices rise haha

    Sels
    Gudmundsson - Munoz - RAN
    Sarr - Wirtz - Bruno - Palmer - Reijnders
    Haaland - Bowen

    Dubravka - Diouf - VDV - Guiu

      Which price rises would you want to catch on that team? You've already got the City ones - Spurs attack has City next, Ekitike I admittedly don't know the stats for but gut instinct says slightly higher-scoring Darwin. Wood perhaps, but otherwise I don't think there's really that pressing a need.

        Wood mainly, but I guess I do have 8m in Bowen that could wait another week.. Ekitike also an option but would requite a -8 or a WC to get him in, I think I will just leave it for now but also debating someone like Diouf out.

    63 all out with a 12-point BB is not the most exceptional start to the season, but we move. Brentford and West Ham scuppered me, but the more pressing concern is that I'm a starter short for next week with no Arsenal or Bournemouth. Fullkrug obviously also not an ideal pick long-term. Any ideas?

    Sels (Dubravka)
    Munoz | VDV | Murillo | De Cuyper (Diouf)
    Salah | Reijnders | Wirtz | Palmer (Sarr)
    Pedro | Watkins (Fullkrug)

    56 with Gudmundsson to go. Were it not for that pointless penalty, I might have been happy. As is...meh.

    First games are rarely indicative of anything long-term, but I'm thinking of passing on Gyokeres for now (I was setting myself up for transferring Watkins to him). Think I might just bank the transfer and roll with my existing team.

        I wish I had Gakpo over Wirtz, but I don't want to come across as greedy. Looks like I'm carrying Wirtz for another game.
