    Hey guys, what's the thinking about Alonso and Mendy? Should we keep Alonso for the next 3 as its easier fixtures (bur CRY EVE) comparing to Mendy (tot SOU MUN) and then reassess GW12?

        I think it's tough to get both with Salah, Hazard, Robertson and Aguero in the majority of our team. A possibility would be to drop a forward and play 442

    Scoutcast usually on a Tuesday, but I would suggest this week it would be better being on a Wednesday. Let's you digest MNF and the CL games properly - particularly with Liverpool playing Wednesday evening.

    Most question are going to be around Salah (get him in for GW10 or not), Mane (keep or sell), TAA (keep or sell for Gomez / Lovren), Sterling (buy, keep or sell) etc. We need to see the CL games before giving an opinion.

      Wait as much as possible before making transfer. Get as much as you can information. If I were in your shoes I would think about transfer out Zaha due to bad upcoming fixtures (Next 5 GW).
      2) Be careful with DSilva. He is in huge rotation risk or little minutes play from now on.
      3) I think you need a two 4.5 rotation GK (example Ryan and Fabianski or Patricio and Fabianski)

      Zaha to Mitrovic is good transfer for you for upcoming 3 games.
      Instead of Sterling / D SIlva I would think of Kevin De Bruyne perhaps. Be careful with Salah, he isn't justify his value thus far. 12.8 is too much for his performance.

        Thanks for the detailed thoughts.

        With all the value options giving me 13 playing outfield players, I figure it's the perfect opportunity to have DSilva, his ppg when he plays are great and have a decent bench for when he doesn't.

        Rotating keepers, maybe. Though Fabianski has a good run coming up.

        Salah staying for now... still think he'll be 250+ points this season.

        Mitro was the option I had thought of, but he seems off the boil a little? Was thinking maybe a punt on Perez with Newcastle great run coming up. He looks like a good player getting into good positions

    For those not thinking about Mendy because their fixtures aren't the greatest: He has got points every single time he has played including 2 bonus when he didn't score/assist or keep a CS. And he hauled against Arsenal.

    Yes, they had a small patch earlier in the season where they failed to keep CS in games you thought they would but overall defensively they are very solid with only 3 goals conceded in 9 games.

              People are forgetting that Salah was wasteful and lacked bonus last season, yet he still got 300 points. Not far off his tally at this point last season and about to go into a great run.
