    Pope (Dubravka)
    Gabriel Timber Andersen (Gudmundsson Senesi)
    Enzo Semenyo Saka Minteh Sarr
    Woltemade Haaland (J. Pedro)

    I am 0.1m short for J.Pedro to Mateta. I guess an Andersen downgrade makes the most sense here? Not super keen on the options 4.4m and below. Maybe one of the cheaper Sunderland defenders?

    Front 8 as follows, £3.5 ITB

    Kudus-Semenyo-Eze-Sarr-Stach
    Mateta-Woltemade-Haaland

    A) Stach > Mbeumo
    B) Kudus > Mbeumo (leaves more budget when I dispatch of Romero)

    B) Woltermade, Munoz, Pope

    Already have Mbuemo, but United actually look good for scoring goals.

        Thanks. Agree, but feel Bruno have so many routes to points even playing in a deeper role. Was near a mega-haul this weekend (missing sitter, creating big chance, missing a penalty that should have been...)

      He's been starting the home games so i think i'd just start him next gw. Don't think it's worth a hit to sell to those options. I think brighton will score but Rodon is decent for DC's

    Still think that defenders should get 2 points for EVERY 10 DefCons.

    Getting over 20 in a game deserves an extra reward.

    If had exact funds, would you do JP to Mateta tonight, despite Palace playing midweek?

    Have 2ft and a very disposable Stach if needed to find 0.1m (but would rather roll it)

    Really can't decide between Sarr and Minteh, and I need to make move tonight.
    Sarr seems the popular pick but ill also be getting Mateta in too. Minteh spreads the risk in case Palace blank and Minteh wont be going to AFCON unlike Sarr. The stats also favour Minteh according to Scout and is 0.5m cheaper.

    It just doesnt feel right going Minteh
