    Is Mendy, Mkhitaryan, Lucas Moura and Pedro to Bennett, Hazard, Richarlison and Fraser for a -8 worth it to get Hazard AND keep Salah, or would you just do a straight swap Salah to Hazard?

      Definitely an overall improvement, but not sure you want to do a -8.
      You also somehow “force” yourself to keep Salah even if he blanks.

        Mendy will start when fit; Moura will certainly start at least until Ali is back; and Pedro seems to be ahead of Willian, even if they are sharing time. The only one that's really a problem is Mkhitarian. So I'd just do him to Fraser and then the others next week. Who's your fifth mid?

    Fellow Uefa Fantasy CL players, when are you planning to use your WC and limitless WC boosters ?

    I was planning to save them for the knockout stages when 5transfers before the 1st legs looks a little light, I am however tempted to use the limitless WC boosters for GW2 when Juventus, Bayern, Athletico and PSG have tasty home fixtures, Real play CSKA and Messi plays an under preforming Spurs.

    Owning Mane Hazard Aguero, my initial thought was to captain Mane this gw.
    I'm starting to lean towards Hazard now.
    He'll have rested midweek, is in form and on pens.
    Mane played the full match vs PSG, Aguero about half an hour.

    What do you think?

        I with you. Does have tough fixtures coming up. On the other hand Arnie has delivered steadily even against the so-called tough games so far this season.

      Emerson is ill and hence didn’t even travel. Unless he makes a miraculous recovery Alonso will play.

      Let’s put this story to bed (just like Emerson is in right now).

      Keita surely comes on but not easy to predict for whom.
      Can't see much rotation as it will be carabao cup where that will happen.

    Pedro only not started one game. Still in Sarri's best starting eleven imo.

      Hopefully not, he’s Chelsea’s 2nd best attacker, but it’s another thing to worry about. Can’t understand why Sarri went so strong tonight.
