      Of those I’d probably go Traore but would really like Richa. Think absence of Euro action a plus for Everton in this run - makes those fixtures even less red!

      Have Martial and happy to keep but not convinced Watford H is as juicy as Chelsea A :-).

      I’m possibly going there but his actual returns stink despite some decent looking stats. Just wary of Wolves form in EL weeks and a Norwich defence that concedes but only in dribs and drabs.

    mahrez to traore?

    i've never really liked traore as an fpl player due to most of his points coming in splurges against city and a couple of other games, but mahrez has to go i think and i can't see too many options, great fixtures for Wolves

    other mids are KDB, Salah, Maddison, Cantwell

        probably will, i fully expect him too, but i've had him twice this season and been totally 'Pep rouletted', upcoming blank is enough for me to shift i reckon, enough of Pep's rotation ( i thought with Sterling injured Mahrez was a definite starter against west ham, but Pep had other ideas!)

      Traore is streaky in points haul but on the field, he is always hustling

      Jimenez and Neto have missed so many chances they have costed Traore about 30 points in assists wasted.

        Mahrez is never sure to start. Jesus was appalling so there’s a more likely chance but its not a given. Traore against Norwich is a fair bet.

          I have mahrez and I’m holding. I think it’s a fair assumption
          to think he will start vs Leicester. After that I will probably move him for richarllisson before gw28

            yep that sounds reasonable, i have another issue in that i also need funds to upgrade bench goalie to cover henderson in gw28 and gw31 and Rich won't give me enough cash for that, plus his fixtures are on the trickier side, although he's been on good form lately

    If you plan 3 FTs (A -4) during the next 2 GWs, isn’t it sensible to do it already this week as the hit/players you get then hopefully will strengthen your team for 2 weeks instead of one?

    Thinking to bring in

    A) Jimmy + Mane/Boly or
    B) Jimmy + VVD/Boly

    For -4 before the blank

          Team is pretty much set, barring any late adrenaline rush, decided to save FT and skip Mane. 2FTs next week will be useful I guess. Team performance like last week would be nice.

      Based on EL gametime, we can expect:
