The current top-scoring Fantasy Premier League midfield asset versus the record points holder for a single season. It needn’t be an either/or, of course, and plenty of FPL managers own both Sadio Mane (£9.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) at this stage of the campaign.

With Jurgen Klopp hinting at rotation, Liverpool’s fixtures about to take a turn for the worse – the Reds face Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester City in the next four Gameweeks – and a premium midfield alternative in Eden Hazard (£10.7m) in a rich vein of form, however, some Fantasy bosses may be considering jettisoning one of these two heavy hitters in the short-term at least.

In this Members’ piece, we will compare Salah and Mane directly while also taking a look at both Liverpool midfielders’ wider appeal compared to the alternatives in their position.

    Would a - 8 to get Alonso AND Hazard in prove worthy?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who you losing?

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Firmino /Bilva and PVA

        Jimenez the make weight striker to afford.

        Don't think I like it actually

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Would probably hold off

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think I probably would.
      I can see that paying off this gameweek, never mind long term.

    Best 7.9m MID differential?
    Want Bilva out for a differential.
    Or any other advice is appreciated too?

    Team:
    Pat Ham
    RAM Peltier Awb
    Bilva (7.5) Salah Mane Moura Stephen
    Kun Mitro Ings

      Madisson will shine

    2. Astronautovic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I am looking at pereyra Maddison or fraser.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No Fraser, I would be going for Wilson and Madisson if any of bmouth players

    3. darth_valdes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all. I like Madisson but not Puel. Headache.

  3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    I am keeping Salah because I'm a poor FPL manager and doubt I'd be able to replace his points by spraying cash around

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      poor bait

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It's semi-serious, I am genuinely bad at this game and don't see myself getting captaincy right without someone like Salah who rarely blanks

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          oh ha - I went without him for ages last season, a had Sterling/Sane/Mane/Hazard instead of him (captain was usually Kane or maybe Hazard) and on weeks when any of them failed it was not fun

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Similar story to me - I owned both Salah and Kane but made the wrong decision most of the time.

          2. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            there were 3 outcomes:
            Mane scores well, but Salah blanks GREAT
            Mane scores well, Salah scores well FINE but not ideal
            Mane blanks, Salah scores well BIG RANK DROP

            unfortunately the third option happened a lot more than the other two, and when people started captaining him every week it was basically game over

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Especially last year, Mané never really found his current form in the PL last year.

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                yeah, it's annoying because the first few games this season he's missed easy chances (the exact reason I didn't want him for ages last year haha) I'm almost being proven right and wrong at the same time 😐 but he is the most likely points scorer in the game, so 'value' isn't all that relevant imo (especially with budget strikers doing well for once)

                1. SADIO SANÉ
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  Mane just didn't get the tap-in opportunities last season and Salah was getting all of them 😀

        2. Jealous Viper
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          His potency as a captaincy option is always vastly underrated when he is being discussed. If we didn't have cap option in the game salah wont be 13m

          1. Totalfootball
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Thing is you won't be captaining him vs Chelsea , spurs , man city...will you ?!
            So even if he gets you 15 , 10 , 15 in those games...it shouldn't hurt much if your other players do well....But GW 6 vs southampton if he gets you 15 points , that is scary .
            Coz eve1 will have him captained !

            1. Ashers74
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              This ... I believe Mane / Hazard this week will outscore Salah / 7m mid .. that could be reversed with interest gw6 ..

                • 13 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Not if Salah's everyone's captain pick every week

      7 years, 3 months ago

      Maddison...on free kicks, Puel gave him all the freedom and with Vardy back in the squad, Maddy will shine even more.

      1. Astronautovic

        Maddison. Fixtures are good and rat face is back from suspension.

        I'd go Fraser as he is cheap and looks reliable. Not sure why, but Maddison reminds me of a Redmond type FPL player, don't really trust him or Leicester to do well. Expectation with watford that they won't keep doing as well so probably not pereyra.

        Probably will be wrong on all accounts ha

      Hi, can anyone advise why walcott is only worth 6.6mil in my side? Hes value is 6.8 so should be 6.7?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You bought him for 6.5

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Did you buy at 6.5?

      3. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I assume you bought him at 6.5, in which case he should be 6.6 sale price. 0.3 rise = 0.1 sale price increase.

          1. jblakes
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            thanks for update. I thought everybody went up the same. Yea i did buy at 6.5.

        Many are pointing out that not owning Salah would kill ranks of managers who don't own him.

        But, I don't think they are taking into account the potentials of his replacements e.g. Lukaku,Sterling,hazard to haul and match Salah.

        Then there could be the captaincy argument but Salah non owners can have the following captains over the next 4 GWs -

        GW 5 - Aguero (FUL)
        GW 6 - Hazard (whm)/Lukaku (WOL)/ Aguero (car)
        GW 7 - Aguero (BRI)
        GW 8 - Kane (CAR)

        I don't think not owning Salah over this period would be too big an issue.

        However, I do believe Salah probably would be close too essential from GW 9/10 onwards.

        1. theodosios
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          The same story as for Kane last season

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            And I was a victim of that. 🙁

        2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Somehow I doubt Lukaku... I take your point however. We see a schism forming in the community (something good) where the more risk averse are leaving Salah banking on big pointage from Sterling / Hazard etc. One of these groups will be consolidating for the rest of the season... We will see

          I think there's a good chance non-Salah will be just fine, but I personally wouldn't do it unless on wildcard to take advantage of the money redistribution. As i feel little need to use my wildcard just yet, I will remain with Salah.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Nicely put.

        3. alexmj
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          GW 6 is where you have to have Salah

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Early sub if Pool winning comfortably is a big possibility as well. Having said that, I will take 1 goal from him in that game as a non owner.

          2. clodhopper
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Hard to get him in thogh i would imagine

        4. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Agree.
          As an owner I doubt I will captain him much over that period

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Exactly. Hence my decision to sell him on WC as well.

        5. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It isnt non owning for a few gws that is the problem.. you need multiple transfers to get him and at a stage when you might be plagued with issues in sqaud.. do you really want that headache?

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            The worst case scenario would be a hit to get him back.

            I think the potential rewards far outweigh the risk. Just my opinion though.

        6. A.T
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed

        7. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Sound. Currently Salah's not firing and Mane is. I don't see the logic of having both like I see in some teams. When Salah's returns improve Mane's will surely dip a bit. So in the meantime I think with a few 6-8m mids bringing a few points you're better off keeping Mane, selling Salah, posdibly for a 6-8m mid and get a big hitter defender or striker.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Aye. Well worth the risk.

          Dear Mr. Pundit

          You are trying to open a window facing a brick's wall.
          They don't care, they refuse to play without Salah.
          We Salahless play other way, will see at the finish line

          Of course we know he is good, of course we are afraid, but if we develop other strategy to spend better the money they only see it as luck.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Haha.... 😀 😀

            It's the not the fear of him not hauling but the fear of not owning him that does fantasy managers.

          It might be too much of an unnecessary challenge to trade him out then trade him back in again 4GW's later. Its a lot of coin that has to get shunted around and I'd image that in all likelihood a hit or two will be involved. Is it not simply easier to keep hold of him? He has the best stats in the league after all.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Makes sense for non WCers.

            But I'm on Wc and not too fussed about it. have got a plan in place to get him back for no hits.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Fair enough

          2. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            His FPL points are the only stats that count. Last season he would miss loads of chances, hence his lowish baps count. But he would also score big, not like a confidence striker who's head drops and stops trying after he misses a few chances. Not scoring them now. Possibly a World Cup hangover but he was rested before it and only played two games. He's still creating chances but not taking them. More useful as a decoy who distracts defenders for Mane to take advantage.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Typically stats tend to correlate with points as they did last season. On the evidence so far, he is doing nothing different and would again be on course for 300pts

        10. DGW Sane TC Fail....
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He does have the potential to really hurt your rank if he goes big in a few games which we know he can. I don't have him at the moment , i feel i can cover him with good captain picks and Mane up to game week 8, but it's a very risky with his high ownership. Most Salah owners will have Aguero and hazard to lessen the blow if they get huge hauls. Kane is probably the only player who can hurt them being a captains pick. What am a little bit puzzled by on here is people are ditching for Liverpools hard fixtures ..they really turn up for those games and are high scoring ..don't be shocked to see Salah hauls through this period.

          1. clodhopper
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I know liverpool love the big teams and play better against them non lpool supporter

        11. MysticMac17
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Salah could easily get a hattrick against Southampton in GW 6. Most people will put him captain then and if he hauls you will suffer.

          1. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            If he hauls get him afterwards.

            1. MysticMac17
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              He has City and Chelsea after that game so doubt people would bring him in even if he did haul then

        Hello Lads

        Had no intention of using the wildcard now but as always over the international break I am getting itchy fingers.
        Any thoughts on the current side. I am happy with the balance considering I have 3 big hitters

        Hart (Hamer)
        Mendy Alonso Robertson Cedric (AWB)
        Salah Pedro Gray (Westwood, Guendozi)
        Kane Aguero Wilson

        1. RustyBz

          Given you've missed so many price raises I'd recommend holding off now

            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah that is the main problem now as to why I probably wont. Cant wake up 5 days later and decide to use wild card. So much wasted value

            Depends on Walcott and Mikhy..

        Firmino is dropping to 9.4m tonight and I want to get rid of him anyway.

        Buy Laca 9.4 or someone else? Is it worth taking a -4 hit?

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Why do you think he's dropping?

          1. Four Hit Wonder
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Fantasyfootballfix says so. And on Fplstatistics he's at -98.1. Not much activity at the moment but Bobby is going down before the next GW, it's a matter of time. Could be tonight.

        2. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          You can still afford Laca if he drops.
          Not worth the -4 for me, especially as I expect pool to beat Spurs

          1. Four Hit Wonder
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I can, but I can also bank that 0.1m if I react promptly. Also, I have 0.9m in the bank so the extra 0.1 would give me a round 1.0m. Perfect transfer.

            Alternatively I could buy Mitrovic or Wilson.

            1. Moosie the Staggie
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              I think you have pretty much made your mind up. If you feel 0.1m is worth 4 points then just go for it.

        3. clodhopper
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He wont drop its just wildcard activity prices are moving slow DONT PANIC

        4. MysticMac17
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Would get Vardy personally. As an Arsenal fan I like Laca but he will still get rotated. Iwobi and Mkhi didn't play the last day. Hes definitely not nailed despite his goal

        WC team
        Or
        -4 Team?

        A. / WC
        Foster (Hamer)
        AWB Mendy Alonso Robertson (Bennett)
        Hazard Mane Salah (Stephens Holdberg)
        Aguero Wilson Ings

        B. / -4
        Foster (Hamer)
        AWB Mendy Alonso Robertson (Peltier)
        Mane Salah Mkhitaryan, Moura (Stephens)
        Aguero Wilson Ings

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Easily B

        2. Positive vibes

          B

        3. clodhopper
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Why would you ship that team its v nice tweak it a bit

        4. Ynwalfc
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          A for me

      9. Gashead9
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Patricio, Hamer
        Mendy, Alonso, Robbo, AWB, Peltier
        Salah, Mane, Dilva, Neves, Billing
        Kun, Zaha, Austin (I know)

        A) Zaha > Wilson/Deeney for free
        B) Zaha > Wilson/Deeney & Mane > Haz -4
        C) Zaha > Wilson/Deeney & Austin > Mitro -4

        If keeping Austin would you start him against Brighton (possible 1pt cameo) or play AWB instead?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          How well do you know Charlie? 😉

          1. Gashead9
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Not well enough, I reckon he might be benched this week considering Ings can't play GW6

        2. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I would be tempted be C if Zaha is confirmed out

        3. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          C if Zaha confirmed out

        4. MysticMac17
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Austins draw is even more down now after he missed the penalty last week. Expect Ings to be on thEm now

        7 years, 3 months ago

        Best time to WC.. Imo it is gw7-8.. or when you really need it (multiple issues/ not being able to field a playing 11 side)..

        Fixture congestion will hit liverpool and man city real hard very soon. in fact spurs will also struggle with CL commitments/ tough group.. However there are a few picks in each side that are fixture proof imo and they are the players to start getting on wc.. Examples include vertonghen, eriksen, kane, KDB (when he is back), ederson, allison.. Chelsea players are also a good bet as Sarri often doesnt rotate.. fixtures swings for likes of Brighton and watford is also one to consider..

        What are your thoughts on when to WC (obviously not for the ones who have already wc'ed).. Who are the best picks to target in a few weeks time?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Agree, after CL league start imo

          1. Chenku╰☆╮
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            thats the thinking..

        2. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Unlike others I'm looking a getting some United.
          Lukaku or Lingard could be good, slightly under the radar options imo
          Murray is another I'm looking at for a few weeks time.
          As for when to wildcard, I will hit the button when I feel my team needs more than a -8

      11. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A) Lacazette
        B) Mitrovic
        C) Wilson
        for the next 5-6 GWs?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years

          Vardy

      12. HAMMERTIME107
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        In and around top spot in most of my leagues, but contemplating Wildcard??? Should I wait ???

        1. Demí
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Where you're positioned shouldn't have any bearing on when you wildcard. You haven't shown us your team so impossible to answer with yes or no.

        2. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Do you have solid squad now? If no concern no need to wc.

        3. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If your team needs it.

        4. HAMMERTIME107
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Wanted to swap out Arnie, Salah, Robertson,Mikhitaryan and improve bench a bit for future Bench Boost card.
          Team as it stands:

          Ederson
          Mendy | Wan-Bissaka | Robertson
          Pedro | Lucas Moura | Mikhitaryan | Salah
          Arnautovic | Ageuro | Lacazette

          Speroni | Peltier | Tomkins | Stephens

          1. Moosie the Staggie
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Nowhere near worth a wildcard imo, in fact I have seen plenty of potential wildcard teams that look fairly similar to your current team.

            1. HAMMERTIME107
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Just think wanted to get out Liverpool players out of my team with there next 7 games?

              And I feel a couple could improve!

        Morning,

        Those in LMS. Once you are out your are out. Is this correct?.
        Why are new players allowed to enter after season starts?. The later you enter the more chance you have of winning.

        ...or have I got the rules completely wrong?

        thanks

        1. Demí
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          When you enter doesn't matter, there's a qualifying score each week to be accepted, post GW1.

        2. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          You will need to have beaten previous LMS GW scores to enter later on, so it doesn’t make a difference

          1. Old Gregg
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            fair enough.

            thanks

      14. Kane Train

        Salah or Sanchez?

          Alexis

        2. Demí

          Salah all day. Twice on Sundays

        3. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years

          Salah surely

        4. ajones1608
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Salah even with reduced minutes, by far the better option

      15. EL tridente
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thoughts on this WC

        Patricio (Hamer)
        Alonso, Mendy, Holebas (Bennett, Wan-Bissaka)
        Hazard, Mané, Pedro, Fraser (Billing)
        Aguero, Lukaku, Mitrovic

        Pedro Will most likely become Richarlison in 2 GW

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Almost exactly like my planned team. So good.

          Consider Pedro > Moura if you have the funds.

      16. Pjanić At The Disco
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Which option scores more over the next 8 Gameweeks?

        1) Vardy + Alli + Fraser
        2) Wilson + Hazard + Maddison
        3) Lukaku + Fraser + Maddison

        1. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          2

        2. ajones1608
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          2, Wilson will score consistently although maybe not loads. Hazard I think will have his good season (tends to switch between good & poor each season..). Maddison is the heart of that attack

          1. Pjanić At The Disco
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Despite hazard’s rough upcoming fixtures?

        Thoughts please...

        a) Mhki & Walcott out > D Silva & Neves in - this week -4 hit
        b) Keep both > 2 FT next week with various options
        c) switch one to Madison this week

        Fancy David Silva to have a big three gameweeks with fixtures

      20. lumaunited

        Robertson Mendy Alonso Cėdric (WB)
        Salah Mane Hazard Fraser (Højbjerg)
        Agüero Wilson (Quaner)

        Sterling or dilva?
        Have extra 2.6 itb don't know what to do
        Only for 4 matches, then will get salah instead

      22. adam28193
        • 12 Years

        Is Ings/Aguero/Mitrovic too weak?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not tok weak for me. But overalll depends on your remaining 12.

          1. adam28193
            • 12 Years

            Looking at:

            Patricio/Foster

            Mendy/Robbo/Alonso/Bennett/AWB

            Salah/Maddison/Hazard/Fraser/Hojberg

            Mitrovic/Aguero/Ings

            1.1 ITB for an upgrade.. Thoughts?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I heavy & 2 mid priced forwards is the way to go this season.

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Ings should be mid priced but is cheaper so a bargain imo

          2. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            There is no "way to go" for the season after 4 weeks. The template keeps changing.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Well feel free to lead the charge into the new direction. All I'm saying is that so far just one heavy forward has been working. When you consider the array of heavy mid priced options it would seem logical to continue along that path.

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                So far. As in 4 weeks. Yeah that sure settles it for the remaining 34.

                "When you consider the array of heavy mid priced options it would seem logical to continue along that path."

                Nope, not at all. Again, mid priced options that have fired in 4 weeks that you're assuming to continue for another 34. If your current "way to go this season" involves Aguero + two of Salah/Mane/Hazard as the only premium/expensive attackers, then all it takes for it to shift is for another premium forward to start outscoring one of those mids, like Firmino/Lacazette/Auba/Kane/Lukaku.

                If you think there's no chance that can happen after just 4 weeks, well there's a chance you're slightly just chasing points 🙂

              2. Cok3y5murf
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Here's an easy example:

                You own Aguero, Mitro, Ings as your forwards. And Salah and Hazard as premiums in midfield.

                Let's say Auba + Richarlison start outscoring Mitro + Hazard. You make the swaps, the funds are shifted and you have 2 premium forwards. That's all it takes. Your template's done.

        3. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years

          Looks perfectly adequate atm

        4. MysticMac17
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          That's been my strike force the past two gameweeks. All three players are on the rise valuewise. Don't plan on changing them anytime soon unless they get injured

      23. Naboo
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Any pointers here? Slight tweak on my previous WC team. Pedro is for 2 weeks max before switching back to Richarlison

        Patricio / Foster
        Alonso / Mendy / Shaw / AWB / Bennett
        Salah / Hazard / Pedro / Maddison / Billing
        Aguero / Mitrovic / Wilson

        Alonso, Robertson, Mendy, Shaw (Wan-Bissaka)
        Salah, Mane, Mkhitaryan, Walcott (Stephens)
        Aguero, Arnautovic (Kamara)

        1FT, 0.9 in bank

        What's my priority here? Quite a few moves I'd like to make, but no obvious priority to my eyes..

          Very similar to me. I have different keepers (Fab/Foster), Hughes and Wilson but identical otherwise

          I am totally torn on whether to
          A) Save FT and hold tight
          B) Switch either Mkhi or Wally for Fraser/ Maddison
          C) Drop Mané and Mkhi/Wally for Hazard and Fraser

          Wait till the internationals are over, then decide according to the injury situation.

        Took the plunge and used my first free transfer on Salah > Haz (plan to get Salah back on my WC) how to use my new found wealth?

        Patricio
        Walker Mendy Alonso Robbo
        Haz Mane Kante
        Arnie Kun Ings
        (Stek AWB Cairney Rich)

        a) Arnie > Vardy
        b) Arnie > Laca
        c) Cairney > Maddison (with the intention of Arnie > Mitro the following week)
        d) Arnie & Cairney > Vardy & Ghezzal (-4)

            I’m in a similar position. No burning issues imo .. I’m actually considering rolling my other FT over and thinking of reversing my hazard to salah and capt him gw6 .. seems somewhat of a waste but no other issues .. keeping my wc for later ..
