    thoughts on my team at the moment

    Begovic
    Alonso Mendy Robbo Bennett
    Salah Mane Mkhi Walcott
    Aguero (c) Zaha

    Foster AWB Fraser Kamara

    I have 0.4 itb and 1FT but would ideally like to keep it and be able to fix a couple of glaring issues next week. However getting rid of Mkhi is tempting, maybe him to Maddison or Pedro? Thoughts?

    After much deliberation I’ve gone Bennett over Neves. With Patricio in goal looks like a Wolves clean sheet will really boost this GW... anyone else in the same situation?

            A few people on some forum saying he was spotted in a bar last night? For me, I’m indifferent. 1) very very very likely to just be a rumour, 2) if not I’ll get AWB coming in, who has an alright chance to get a cleanie against Huddersfield...
