    Looking for a new budget defender with good fixtures in GW18 and 20
    I’ve narrowed them down to Holebas and Schindler

    Which would you plump for? Cheers

      Have 1 FT and 1.9 itb... Will wc within next 3 weeks. Who's the biggest problem?
      A) Laca- may not start but good fixtures and can score when subbed on
      B) Rich- nailed but poor fixtures (gives me 8.9 on a mid)
      C) Dunk- nailed but poor fixtures (Can bring in any defender)

        I’d be tempted on shifting rich for another. Get him back when you wc

        Lacca is a worry for you though. He can score anytime, even from the bench. So may be worth keeping for good fixture

            Thinking of this - yes or No?

            Trippier / Alonso / Siggy to Doherty / Luiz / Hazard (-8)

            Not too keen on Luiz but trying to get Haz without losing Salah and Sterling.

              I think Luiz could work out well. Sketchy but nailed. And Doherty is a no brainer

                Hmmm, interesting...never thought of it that way. I have Salah and I don't really want to get rid of him at the moment, it feels like he is hitting form...even though his fixtures aren't as good as Kane's.
                But then Kane's fixtures are so good for so many weeks

                Leaning him right now. Rested tonight. Hasn't had a 3 game scoring drought since Weeks 1-3 when Arsenal looked out of sorts.

              Hard, but I would say B. My feeling says that Hazard could outscore Salah until New Year, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to ditch Salah myself...

                I have neither at the moment. Dilva replacement.
                Slightly favour Salah myself and setting for the rest of the season.
