    Morning

    Probably made the wrong decision but got spooked by FFFix saying Son was falling last night and decided to go for Sterling over Haz. Hope I won’t regret it. Here’s the team:

    0itb -4
    Lloris
    Robbo, Laporte, Doherty
    Salah, Sterling, Jota, Mili, JWP
    Kun (C), Jimi
    (Foster) (Wilson, Valery, Yoshida)

    Now just have to hope Haz disappoints and Utd stay rubbish!!!

    Arghh

          Haz has never turned up for me when I’ve had him and I only really wanted him this week and not next so I decided to go Sterling on balance. Hopefully won’t be too painful!

            Wilson (TOT)
            JWP (whu)
            Mili (car)

          Like that midfield and Sterling has better fixtures overall I guess so two weeks to come good. Haz is really about this one

          Probably following you in benching Wilson for Soton mid.

          Son has dropped last night so good if you were tight on budget.
          Hazard & Pogba probably in my team so i hate the last line 😀

          Hmmm...I'd probably just do Eriksen => Pogba and upgrade another def than Robertson to Shaw for 0. Or Eriksen => Hazard and Robertson => Shaw. As you can see I'm reluctant to get rid of Son ;-). Your idea might work out though!

            Unfortunately downgrading TAA will not give me enough money.

            I am 0.1 short from doing Robertson to Shaw and Eriksen to Hazard. I could switch Foster to Guaita and make it work for a -4?

              Hmm...yes you could and it could work out. Losing Robertson for Shaw and a -4 though...I'm not sure I'd do it. But if you really want Hazard (rather than Pogba), this seems like a sensible option. Personally I'd probably just go for Eriksen to Pogba and upgrade a defender with the remaining money. But if I always knew what's best I'd be N°1 ;-).

          Giving Son one more chance as he has a great goal scoring record against BOU and Pogba is in really bad form despite having a great fixture.

          Keeping this week for sure. A win guarantees Top 4 + he's got his rest as he was suspended for the CL game. United are out of form. Only reason I'd get Pogba if I were chasing.
