      Might as well go Gomes and save A lot of cash:

      Robertson’s attacking returns: 1 assist last 13 games

      VVD only 1 attacking Return the last 12 matches, A goal, but still, worth the price difference over Gomes?

              If you knew Aguero would start I’d go with it (I prefer Robbo to VVD for what it’s worth) - depends how brave you are re: Aguero and whether it’s a risk worth taking or a needless risk

          I think I'm going to wildcard. I want Martial back, and DCL was only a pick to facilitate Son. Even if I take a hit, I'm still a player short for GW28 selling Kelly next week as it's doubtful Williams will start. Ings at home to Villa vs DCL at Arsenal and his fixture run sways it. Also I've had six of my players all season and don't ever plan to sell any nor Jimenez now who I got at 7.1 so a later wildcard won't have much impact anyway.

            dunno it seems a bit rash to me personally. wildcard before a dgw then bench boost if you still have it could be worth a lot of points. i really like the rest of the team.

              I've done that every year, end up with half your players playing once, and limping over the line with a messed up squad! I'm not selling Trent, Robbo, Lundstram, KdB, Salah, Grealish or Jimenez so can't see what value I'd get from a late wildcard this year. Learnt my lesson selling PvA and Auba a few years ago and they ruined me!

              Button, Kelly, Hayden, Son, DCL all out. Martial and Ings in.

      Son injury a blessing in your case.

      Yeah, I really like those - even if he's mostly on the bench as you say. He's been really good for Arsenal of late.

      VVD + Cantwell is an alternative (maybe 0.1m off) but I probably prefer you're one anyway.

      Gomez + Barnes is also an option, but of course Robbo/VVD are better picks.

          Nothing concrete. I like Pulisic when I see him play, but get the feeling he'll be eased back in. There's also the fresh memory of all those blanks despite playing decently.

          Chelsea midfielders in general do not get consistent points. We can't even string back-to-back wins (or draws!) at the moment, so it's a risk is all I will say.

    Traore worst on the pitch. See him on the bench vs Norwich easily.

          Err?

          1st goal was from a corner, but Traore gave the lay off to Moutinho for the cross in. It wasn't a direct corner.

          Second goal came from a cross from Traore, which the defender headed away; then Neves controlled it with is chest and smashed it into the net.

          If Traore isn't doing what he's doing for both of those, they aren't goals.

    I think Adama is my replacement for Son now. Off early, will start vs Norwich. Plays 28 and 31

      Considered that, but decided to just bench Son for now, let Maddison start, save the transfer, and see if a better option presents itself next week... Traore just doesn’t inspire me.

      Lund is going to punish you from second on the bench. 😉

      Team looks great - Mahrez owners deserve a haul this week

          It’s such a tough choice - I think you’ve probably got your team set up exactly correct, but there is a decent chance of a lot of bench points this week
