        That is my impression as well. I feel Azpi can also be a good differential for next GWs. He seems to be more involved in their attacking process in fact

        Aguero has apparently been a risk of not playing every week for the past 5 or 6 weeks, he keeps showing up though. And the guy asking above explained that he still had his BB and FH chip, so how will he use the TC in a DGW?

    Azpilicueta didn’t feature tonight. Does that make him more secure for this weekend or less please?!

      Definitely more. Zappacosta just played for the first time in nearly 2 months. Azpi is by far the most secure person in that back 5 given Kepas insubordination

    Morning al, have 2ft and 0.6m. suggestions?

    Fabianski -- Button
    Lascelles Digne Pereira -- Doherty Schindler
    Salah Pogba Sterling Rich -- Hayden
    Jimenez King Aguero

    - Plan is to do Sterling/Kun >> Hazard/Higuain in gw31.

    A: Hayden >> Brooks and roll FT....might also do Schindler >> Digne (-4) in gw31 with funds left over from downgrading sterling/kun
    B: Digne >> TAA and roll FT....in this case might do hayden >> fraser (-4) in gw31 with funds left over from downgrading sterling/kun
    C: Doherty >> TAA. Logical move but lots of value tied up in him so need to decide whether he is a good option for dgw32/5

    Leaning towards B but that means keeping schindler for gw31/33 whereas A means i keep digne (over schindler) but at the expense of getting brooks (over fraser)
