Do I take a -4 to sell Rice for Semenyo? Already made this weeks transfer, have free hit for GW31 so not worried about that. Current team is:
Raya
Virgil / Senesi / Guehi
Rice / Ndiaye / B.Fernandes / Wilson
Haaland / Thiago / J.Pedro
Bench - Dubravka / I.Sarr / J.Timber / Gudmundsson

I have a few yellows.

Super tempted to do Haaland + Mane to Ekitike and DCL. Makes sense? Just that Wolves have improved and Haaland can really hurt the rank if he plays 90.

Kroupi and Palmer to Ekitike and 7.0 mid? -4

Allows me to keep Haaland should he play. I would like to think if he is a no show, I get Eki vice?

A. Hold Nico and Rice

C. Rice to Anderson + Guiu to Thiago

D. Rice to Mbeumo

All for free. D rules out Thiago later.

  Who do you have on your bench?
  
  I think Rice starts or doesn’t feature at all. I also think we could drop points without him playing so they’ll do everything to make sure he’s starting

    It's poor
    
    As it stands Van Hecke
    
    If I do the hit I lose Nico to Hill with 3 transfers and play one of those two defenders
    
    It affords me a Fulham midfielder tho
    
    It's only a 3 week play
    
    So harder to see the Anderson upside but he's steady like Rice

        Yes
        
        In that case I'd probably do Rice to a budget midfielder in the £6m range

        I’d probably do A in your shoes and hope they play, as there’s FA Cup on the weekend for them to rest but see if there’s any updates

    It does look best but I might just do one move
    
    But that does lose the Brentford upside at Bournemouth

Is it quite likely that if Man City lose to Newcastle in the cup that they’ll play in GW31 against Palace?

  It's drawn out
  
  They can after the international break in a FA Cup week
  
  But they would likely make the exception in case Man City go long time in Europe again!

  If out of FA Cup City (and Palace) barring unforeseeable circumstanced would only have that game to rearrange so could stay in GW31, or go to GW33, or GW36.

Just being looking at stats and did a table of Total Big Chances & xGI & Shots on Target over last 6 weeks.
Top 2 are Pedro & Palmer
Third is Jimenez, which if Wilson is not fully fit and with fixtures coming up might be a good short term option to replace Haaland until WC32

He's 2nd= for Shots on Target with 7
He's 3rd = for Big Chances on 7 (Pedro, Eki above, equal with Plamer)
He's 2nd for xGi with 4.31 (Palmer top)

  He's been subbed off much earlier since Muniz has returned, even coming off at the 59 min mark in one game. I wouldn't go there. The most important stat is xMins.

  I'm in the same boat with those three flagged... my two cents on Q2: I'd cap Haaland as Forest (H) doesn't feel like the kind of game where Pep would risk him from the bench if he's not fully fit, so reduced risk of a 1-pointer off the bench if he doesn't start.
  
  Q1: I'd go Rogers, just because of the above scenario feeling a higher risk for NO'R.

Currently (1 FT, £1.5m ITB)

Petrovic (Kelleher)
Gabriel - O'Reilly - Virgil (Thiaw - Ferdi)
Wilson - Semenyo - Bruno F - Rayan (Douglas Luiz)
Thiago - Haaland - Raul

Planning to sell 2 of ARS/MCI assets for GW31, but wanted City players versus Brighton/West Ham.

Perversely thinking of Ferdi to Bassey this week, so I'm happier with all of my subs if the worst happens and none of my flagged players play (although Haaland is a lot of money on the bench). Is that crazy?

Who should I be benching:

Raya (Dubravka)

VVD Senesi Gabriel (Hill Van Hecke)

Bruno Mbuemo Semenyo Wilson Rogers

Pedro Ekitike Thiago

Currently on Pedro but as a Chelsea fan I’d be rooting for Rogers to blank

Thoughts ?
