    If choosing, would you prioritize getting Richarlison or Arnie? As things look, I can't get both – if not getting rid of either Maddison or Fraser.

          Arnie bonus points potential as a striker somehow cancels that. I think Everton are more fluid in their attack and will generally score more than an unpredictable Hammers attack.

            Hammers are a bit unpredictable, yes. At some point I will probably have both, but need a few GW's to make that possible (if not taking hits).

          It's a difficult one, as Arnie gives a front three of him, Kun and Mitro, while Rich makes a balanced midfield.

              Very. I'm looking to bring him in in 2 weeks time. If Richarlison stays up front I'll be keeping him too. Of the two, I think Arnie is much more dangerous.

                Good point about "in 2 weeks time". As things looks, I'm shipping out Kane for Kun over the internationals, but don't know if I want to take a hit for Rich/Arnie to bring them in.

        Last season around this gw i was around 500k OR with only WC chip used. Went on to finish at 5k. This season currently at around 34k with TC and WC chip already used. Progress? Or maybe not?

            I have always failed using TC on a DGW in the past 2 seasons so used it rather hurriedly this season on Kun vs Fulham (7*3). I would be happy with a top 10k tbh.

          28k here so far with WC still intact and no chips used, but my previous best is only 108k so very much new territory for me! Need to learn some patience from here on in.

          34k is good regardless - play it well from now on and you'll still be up there as the TC chip is very overrated - only a 20 point gain even if it was used when Aguero hauled v Hudd.

            True. TC has been a disaster chip for me from the day it was invented. WC is the best chip imo, i would take another WC to all other chips combined.

          Knockaert (BHA) + Wilson/King (BOU) = £11.8
          or
          Fraser (BOU) + Murray (BHA) = £12.5

          The problem with Fraser is that the recovered Stanislas could increasingly share his playing minutes. There could be other factors to consider but right now this is my main concern.
