    If I have Ederson in goal, who would you get?

    a) Alonso

    b) Mendy

        C. Both at all costs.

        In all seriousness it is impossible to find fault unless rotation kicks in. I'd be sensible and go Alonso to spread risk.

        I just doubled up on the Man C defense with Ederson and Mendy instead of going for Alonso.

        Risky to say the least, could easily end up 3 x 1 if he's rotated.

      Hi all. Just one question. If you have a 4.5 and he drops to 4.4, then goes back up to 4.5, what is his selling value in your team?

          if you buy him at 4.4 and his current price is 4.5. You sell him at 4.4. If his current price is 4.6, you sell him at 4.5 (1/2 profit)

            sounds pretty good to me. You put more money into defense which seems to be the way to go at the moment plus you still have those attackers which should bring in points.

          Easily Mendy.

          Alonso's points return is not sustainable. I think he will continue to score well but the variance will be high, he's been a bit fortunate.

          Mendy on the other hand, has had a very average points return relative to his performance. Looks like he could be a consistently high returner

                To be honest that combo could score near 30-40 points this week including cap points.

            Is this a Wildcard team? Azpilicueta is unnecessary when you have Alonso I feel. Seems like you have Gundogan for the sake of triple City. Don't think Etheridge will continue raking in points. Downgrade Azpi and get yourself a decent 2nd striker

            Yes, it is a wildcard team. Bringing in Mendy for Azpi seems logic, was hoping on Chelsea clean sheat, but yes would have to drop Gundogan (started all games so far) if I want to bring in Mendy

            TAA or if you can afford Robertson

            Think you could but have a plan to get Robertson back in. He is definitely worth the difference over TAA/Lovren/Gomez

            I've kept Robbo. He's been creating chances and I don't want to lose the 0.1 by selling and trying to get him again. I think he'll still do alright.

            According to stats it’s the best defence in the league. Robertson has been great and is well worth the money. I’m on wildcard but I just can’t afford Robbo as of now. Thinking about TAA though one of those free kicks are bound to go in.

            Personally not; I can’t see them getting more than 1 or 2 shutouts in the next 5. PVA could be nice though, ridiculously attacking full back playing SOU, hud, NEW, bou, WOL

          Do you think it’s worth doing Pereira (Leicester) to Bellerin for a hit? I’d like to think Arsenal will keep a clean sheet and it’s fairly certain Leicester won’t, therefore it could be almost a free transfer. Alternatively I stick with Pereira but bench him for Bennett....thanks in advance!

            Pereira is getting in the box the most of any defender according to sky (I think) and needs to rise another 0.1M.

            Yeah. If anything punt on Walcott/Mkhi/Gross for Silva with the FT then WC int break if that's what you want.

          Apologies if this is a stupid question, but is it worth taking a hit just to save 0.1m? I've currently got Peltier, who appears to be hovering on the brink of a price drop, and no FTs left this week (thanks Richarlison).

          If Peltier passes -100 on fplstatistics before Saturday, should I get him out? I've already got AWB and 0 ITB, so it'd have to be a straight swap for another (presumably non-playing) 4.0 def. Rest of my team is solid, so I'm hoping to avoid WCing early, but that extra 0.1 would obviously be handy when it does happen.

          What's the target for using first wildcard for most people?
          I would have used mine by now every other year but with a decent start i'm not as pushed but my team would need a few tweaks. I'm tempted to use it over the international break if not GW 9.

          I'm leaning towards next week though.I'm even tempted now with no Chelsea for their two home fixtures.
