    WC?
    current team:

    Sels Dub
    Konsa Porro Cucu Rodon Diouf
    Salah Semeyno Reij Kudus Gakpo
    Watkins JP Guiu

    the fixture for next week looks OK, but also want to bring in Haaland, and that will need a (-8)

    In 3 gws I’ve had 2 goals, 3 assists, and 0 cs.

    You’d think I have been playing anti-fpl it’s gone so badly.

          I think he will get assists and unsure what other 4.5 I want. Maybe a CRY one, but Guehi might leave? Unsure on other options. Not liking the premium's, even Cucu is on borrowed time to be honest!

          Honestly? I just don't see the value in premium's currently. I think these are genuinely the best point scorers. MAYBE Ekitike > Isak but even then I'm concerned about rotation...

      So if I get Guehi, and I already have 3 Liverpool players and Isak, that’s absolutely fine right?
      I won’t in the future be forced to make a transfer out ?

          This is why I think he wont join yet. Not a automatic start for them. He is our captain and nailed on, he needs and wants to play for WC year, i think he will see out this year and go on a free.
