    I don’t need to use WC, but this ‘potential’ team looks so sexy!

    Alisson/Hamer
    Mendy/Robbo/Alonso/Wan-Bissaka/Bennett(cheap and plays)
    Salah/Hazard/Fraser/Walcott/Kante(may hold on Hughes)
    Aguero/Mitrovic/Ings

    To do or not to do!?!?!?

    Mo Salah living the high life down in Monaco is not the best preparation for the early kick off on Saturday.

    Rare part of the season with 'plum' back-to-back home games for some sides.

    Chelsea(BOU, CAR)
    Everton(HUD, WHU)
    City(NEW, FUL)

    Great time to be taking a hit for anyone in these attacks. Even the budget Walcott/Pedro options. Non-Kun City options also very tempting.

    You can tell a lot own Mhki here, all comparisons to Moura have a vast majority saying Mhki.

    If you watch games then you would see Moura is playing up front with Kane in a team playing very well. Mhki is playing for... well, Arsenal.

    Think it highlights an issue that people will always choose the player in their team in any comparison as a sort of self-justification for making whatever decision they did the week before.

      I think the Lucas tactic won't be a frequent thing, more just a tactical change from Poch to give Kane support up against United's back three.

      *Not a Mkhi owner.

        He played in same position against Fulham (missed a one on one) and an open goal header. I think it will be this way for next few, and could be their main threat vs Liverpool. Mhki also a decent option but think Moura will outscore.

      Think Moura is a great shout, just waiting few more weeks for fixtures to get better. can't expect him to do that well against tough opposition every week, meanwhile Mkhi is going to play consistently lower level opposition. plan on owning both

    Never ever have I had a team like this.I always go for big hitters in attack,going cheaper in defense and always stick to 4-3-3.But this year,I think there is so much value in Defense.The wingbacks are racking up all the bonus points and assists.Mendy got 2 bonus inspite of not getting a cleanie or a goal/assist.There is also vast no. of midprice options available this year in both Forward and Midfield.
    After much contemplation,I am going for an unusual system.It will take away a lot of flexibility because I cannot get the big hitters easily but we saw last term with Kane,he was great but only in patches and he went missing in some of the fixtures for which he picked him for.Same with Hazard.That has made me ditch them and get this team where I will have a lot of great fixtures every week.Yes,every now and then,I will have big scores on the bench,but that's okay.The TV will increase in that case.

    Hennessey/ Hamer
    Alonso TAA Mendy Trippier / WB
    Salah(vc) Mikhi Pedro Walcott Moura
    Aguero(c)/ Mitro Wilson
