      Looks good to go. Maybe play Cantwell ahead of Maddison since Wolves had the Europa League game today and they struggled with the congested schedule earlier in the season.

    Not sure what to do with that team, but Alli was so poor yesterday that I won’t be surprised if he benched vs Chelsea.

    1)If I save, which 2 would you play from those?
    A) Grealish

    2) All above is rubbish, use a ft
    A) Alli-> Traore

        Lol you’ve pretty much typed out my thought process. DCL > Jimi this week was all part of my game plan but really unsure as DCL’s been posting great stats.
        Yep Holgate > Boly feels like a GW28 move as I’d have a benching headache.

        Leaning towards saving as ditching someone that then hauls is far worse than thinking about getting someone but holding and missing a haul imo!

      I would personally do DCL to Jimi. Odds for Jimi to score are much better. Everton didn't score at home to Arsenal in GW 18 and I don't think they will do much this weekend either. Beside it's a move you'rll have to make soon...

    Martial or Traore for Son's replacement.

    Traore will have a match on GW31. That's the advantage but I'm not sure if this is too early to plan for the blank.

    TAA Soy Lund Rico Williams
    Salah KdB Son Grealish Dendo
    Aguero Ings DCL

    WC team - sorts 28, minimum 5 for 31 and could be more, obviously harder to set up BB for a double though.

      Looks nice. Surprised you’re going with Vardy v City. I’d like Auba and switch that out but I’m guessing that’s a finance thing?

      In which case I’d probably do Doherty > Boly as I can’t justify 6M for Doherty this season.

    Mane (c), KDB, Barnes, Traore
    Auba, Jimi, Ings

    Button, Lund, Williams, Hayden

    B 1.8M | FT 1

    Button upgrade as he's the only non-starter or another alternative? I'm also toying with Lund > Boly (would mean I have 12 players for GW28 as well)

    The only person with a "tricky" fixture for GW27 would be Barnes v City. Granted the entire bench may not start, but isn't that the risk we run? *Note* I have no WC left to play.

    I had two free transfers but I decided that Vardy > Jimi was fine and GW28 I'll still have 11 players (providing Hayden/Williams start) but if I want to reinforce I can do Auba > Vardy (tasty Norwich fixture)

      The devils advocate case:

      Lundstram & Williams - selection doubts?

      Hayden - 2 point merchant?

        Last time Lund and Williams didn’t play I got 2 points from Stephens and Traore and 12 points from Lund & Williams.

        Game is about risks.

        Hayden. I’m not transferring him out at the 4M price range to hope another 4M gets more than 2 for a BB when my WC is already gone.

        Hence why I said Button upgrade

          So you’re ok with using bench boost on two selection doubts & a very likely 2 pointer?

          If not - it effectively becomes bench boosting a GK

          I have McCarthy, Lundstram, Taylor, Luiz on my bench this week (AVL, BOU, BHA, sou) but I’m not considering BB primarily because Lundstram is a selection doubt & Foug Luiz loves 2 points (not as much as Hayden loves 2 points though)

          I could take a hit for Luiz > Traore to improve it...

          But Lundstram is the real elephant in the room - we have to assume he’s benched until we see him start a game I think
