    Is Bennett (4.0) the best access to Wolves defence ?

    Will he keep starting spot ? Is it worth to pay 0.5 more and get Boly ?

      Doherty at 4.4 another option... He looks fairly attacking and has nice stats.
      Can’t Really say I’m certain of Bennet keeping his place, But hopefully some Wolves fans can advice you there

        Thank you. Hope we have some Wolves fans here.

        Btw, I have compared some stats of Doherty vs Boly and feel 0.1 difference probably does better here, so I put Boly as an alternative target.

      Dendocker played full 90 last game as a CB
      Bennent is still nailed until 1 bad game and you know what will happen

      The manager didnt trust him in pre season as he played Saiss (DM) as CB but Saiss was not good at CB though

      Just get Bennett and have 2 Brighton keepers? Or Pedro to Shurrle or Fraser. I don't think Pedro is needed when you have Hazard, he's probably never going to play 90mins and could start from the bench in some games

    Hamer - Masuaku - Kamara - A. Smith

    A) Leave
    B) A. Smith -> PVA (-4)
    C) Kamara -> Wilson (-4)

    B/C provides a better bench and saves a set in stone transfer down the line.

      Smith is definetly not worth a hit. He's on your bench. WB is plenty cover for PVA given the price difference. He's probably the better option imo.

      Kamara to Wilson, again Kamara is on your bench. Fraser is enough players from Bournemouth, you don't wanna be stuck with 2 when the fixtures turn and I definetly wouldn't want to take a hit to get 2 Bournemouth players playing against Chelsea.

      Leave..

          But playing Wilson over Fraser is bad decision. Fraser is the guy creating all the chances, very likely he'll be involved if Wilson scores.

          Similar with PVA, if Palace keep a clean and defender don't return attacks, the points hit is silly. Palace's fixtures are gonna change soon, you'll want rid of PVA. Bournemouths fixtures are gonna turn too and you'll want rid of Fraser and Wilson. Taking hits to double up on weaker teams means you'll be taking more hits to take them out again when the fixtures swing.

            You're talking sense. I guess what's tempting me is that I want both of them medium term anyway plus a FT during the break. And may need one of them this week anyway (from the bench). But leaving it means more info so probably going down that route.

    Worth taking a risk this week and going -8? Have my wildcard available if it goes tits up.

    Richarlison 》 Billing
    AWB 》 Bellerin
    Manè 》 Hazard

    Bellerin and Hazard have nice fixtures and could get some nice returns. I want to get them in sooner rather than later.

    Not usually a fan of -8 hits but having the WC in still in tact makes it tempting..

    For how long do you expect Milner to be nailed? He is cheap in a fantasy similar to FPL.

    Before the season started, I was pretty convinced the nailed starters in midfield would be Keita, Hendo and Fabinho. But now I'm not so sure

      With the champions league starting soon, no one is nailed on apart from Allison & VVD

      Great team. Bit of a dice roll between Ings and Jimenez but I would probably go with Jimenez.

    A. Hazard and Fraser + 4.5 mid on the bench

    B. Pedro and Moura + Walcott/Gross on the bench (can rotate these three players depending on fixture, stronger bench as well in case of injuries)

    A or B? Thanks.
