    I see Gabriel came on for Arsenal today. DO we think Hincapie comes out next game?

    I need to downgrade a defender so this might be the time for it to be him.....

      He may still start and Gabriel will have increasing game time but not necessarily starting, who knows

      No, Hincapie will make way. Gabriel starts v Villa and will score the winner.

    Chalobah with 0 defcons, surely that’s a mistake?

    Reece James is getting hard to ignore. Midweek fixture is not ideal for his injury situation, however

      Not an easy call by any means.
      Wirtz has the best immediate fixture, but he's probably a sell soon after. He's also the most expensive.
      Rogers the best long-term, but has the worst fixture.
      Schade good differential, not the greatest fixtures.
      Too late for Wilson I think.

      I think I'd either get Schade and give him the next 3 (2 of them at home) or just get Rogers in a set and forget type of move.

        Cheers CO! Nicely sumamrised here. I’m agreement, I think if looking beyond immediate next fixture then it would have to be between Rogers & Schade I guess, slim pickings at best really isn’t it for this spot.
        I’m not too keen on Wilson now actually not sure why I included him as an option hehe.
