FPL Gameweek 9 team news: Injury updates on Pulisic, Chilwell, Mitchell and more

It’s hard to remember a Gameweek in which team news updates were so eagerly awaited but the international break – and an Egyptian wedding – has decimated many Fantasy managers’ squads over the last fortnight.

Given that there is so much to address on the fitness front between now and Saturday’s FPL deadline, we’re bringing you this bonus, earlier-than-usual team news article before we attempt to tackle the last-minute mayhem tomorrow.

The managers of Aston Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion all held their official pre-Gameweek 9 press conferences on Thursday, and we’ll round up the key updates below.

The head coaches of the other 14 clubs are happily all scheduled to face the media on Friday, which should reduce, if not eliminate, the risk of any bombshells dropping after the deadline has passed.

We’ll bring you news on those virtual conference calls at the same time tomorrow.

CHELSEA

Christian Pulisic (hamstring) will miss the trip to Newcastle United this weekend, with the Saturday lunchtime kick-off also looking like it’ll come too soon for Kai Havertz (match fitness) and Thiago Silva (fatigue).

Speaking to the media today, Frank Lampard said:

Christian Pulisic is not fit for Newcastle but he’s stepped up his training slowly, it’s been quite a problematic injury so we’ll stay cautious.

Kai Havertz is back, his isolation is over, tested negative two days ago. He’s just started training with us, more on his own to get some of his fitness back after two weeks at home.

Thiago Silva has just landed [back from Brazil], he probably won’t be going to Newcastle because of the length of the journey and timings etc.

We’re still waiting on some results from the tests that we now have to do. Unfortunately, some of our players are arriving back this afternoon, some played last night, so with the 12.30 kick-off on Saturday, there’s clearly a lot of challenges for us.

Asked specifically about Ben Chilwell, who was substituted with a back injury while playing for England last Sunday but back on the bench against Iceland in midweek, Lampard said:

I haven’t seen him yet, he stayed with England. He was improving, hence he was on the bench. So I’m positive that he’ll be OK but I’ll have to see him later on today.

CRYSTAL PALACE

Roy Hodgson confirmed that James Tomkins (muscle), Joel Ward (groin) and Tyrick Mitchell (knock) are all back in training and fit to face Burnley on Monday, while Martin Kelly (unspecified) has also made a swift return to the training ground after picking up an injury during the international break.

On Eberechi Eze (muscle), Hodgson added:

He went away with under-21s and picked up a slight injury there. So at the moment we’ll assess how that’s going to go but hopefully it’s not going to keep him out.

Luka Milivojevic is self-isolating after a positive COVID-19 test but is suspended anyway.

BURNLEY

Erik Pieters (calf) and Phil Bardsley (knock) are back in contention for Burnley’s match against Crystal Palace, while Sean Dyche said he was optimistic that Charlie Taylor (Achilles) could shake off a “niggle” to also feature.

Dyche added that the Clarets were “hopeful” but “keeping an eye on” Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf), while Dale Stephens (hamstring) looks set to miss out and Robbie Brady (hamstring) requires further assessment after returning injured from international duty with Ireland.

Jack Cork (foot) remains sidelined.

ASTON VILLA

Dean Smith revealed in his pre-match press conference that Wesley (knee), Bjorn Engels (thigh) and Frederic Guilbert (hip) are still out, adding that the fit-again Tom Heaton (match fitness) “needs a few more minutes” despite featuring for the under-23s and in an in-house game over the international break.

Hosting his virtual media gathering early on Thursday morning, Smith also said that he hadn’t yet had a chance to check on his returning international contingent – several of whom, including Jack Grealish, were in action on Wednesday night.

Kortney Hause (groin) is expected back in training today.

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

Graham Potter confirmed that Aaron Connolly (hamstring) and Solly March (foot) are back in training and haven’t had any setbacks, while Lewis Dunk returns from suspension.

Davy Propper has a stomach illness, however, while Alexis Mac Allister (COVID-19) is unavailable.

A late decision will also be made on Leandro Trossard (thigh) but Potter did warn that Saturday’s match against Aston Villa “might come a little bit soon”.

WEST BROMWICH ALBION

What Fulham defeat tells us about West Brom defence ahead of Spurs clash

Branislav Ivanovic, Matheus Pereira and Callum Robinson could all return the West Brom squad this weekend, having recovered from coronavirus.

The Baggies have been hit by more positive COVID-19 tests, however, and Slaven Bilic wouldn’t elaborate on names when asked in his pre-match presser:

Matheus and Branislav are back in training. They have quarantined and tested negative so they are back. We have to be fair, a few other players were positive so they haven’t trained for a few days and we are waiting for their results.

Hopefully, they will be back for training tomorrow, maybe today. A few of the guys who were on international duty, they will be back today and have to do the test again as soon as they land.

Hopefully, they are going to go be good but we have a few cases, yes. The good thing is that Pereira and Ivanovic and back. They have been training the whole week. So they will be fine for the game against Man United.

Callum Robinson tested positive but he was tested against last night and he is negative so he is good.



More detailed information and predicted line-ups can be found in the Team News tab, which will be refreshed over the next two days.

Keep an eye on our Twitter feed, too, for any late-breaking updates.

A video round-up with Andy and Neale will be filmed on Friday.

    Who to start from these?

    A. Mitchel
    B. Taylor
    C. Coufal

    Cheers

    1. Hansel

      C

  2. NejiHyuuga01

    Havertz was expected this week but is flagged for match fitness almost 3 weeks after he caught it. Sure the virus may have impacted each one differently, but goes to show how the situation with Salah will be likely to unfold.

  3. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best combo going forward?

    A) Werner + Cancelo
    B) Vardy + Cancelo
    C) Fernandes + Cancelo
    D) Sterling + 4.6 def rotating with Lamptey

    KDB in the team. Rest of defence: Robertson, Chilwell, Lamptey and fodder.

    A + B is a 3-4-3
    C + D is a 3-5-2

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B imo

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You sure guys? Only three good fixtures and no obvious replacement after gw12 :-/

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not sure what you mean

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          That Leicester only has three good fixtures after Liverpool and that there are no appealing premium forward to replace him with after.

  4. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I fully understand if this been asked and discussed many times here but been really busy with life so need a little help.

    Is Salah to miss 1 or 2 pl games ?
    Found something online saying that 2 but not sure if can trust it (daily mirror) ?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      One for sure. Two depending on fitness + next test result

    2. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Short answer, its not confirmed he misses 2 by any stretch. 50-50, could be back for brighton if tests negative soon, or may not, depends on a lot of factors unfortunately and nobody has the straight answer.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nobody knows yet mate. Try and hold transfer till Saturday.

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks, might sell for KDB to capitalise on two City's home fixtures.

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wasn’t expecting Rashford’s stats to be quite so low! Any reason behind that?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      United being on and off

  6. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    was looking at JRod for Salah but he's played 180 mins and flying back from frickin ecuador. No really ideal is it. So many of these transfers this week have stinker written all over them.

  7. The Fantasy Doctor
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any love for Jota until Salah is back? Means affording Vardy until GW12

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Decent pick. Highly overlooked mainly because of Grealish and Ziyech

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Could be a great pick imo

    3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I grabbed him first chance I had at the end of last GW. Captaining this week.

      1. The Fantasy Doctor
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks.

  8. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which option for the next 2?

    A) Grealish + Werner + Taylor/Justin
    B) Mane + Watkins + Cresswell

    Leaning towards B at the moment.

  9. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    On a wildcard.. can a bench boost be played in the same gameweek?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

  10. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry bottomed.
    Which two to replace Salah+Trossard?
    a)Ziyech
    b)Rodriguez
    c)Rashford

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      AC

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

  11. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Defence is Trent, Chillwell, Justin, Taylor, Mitchell

    All but Justin have been flagged but I expect at least Chillwell, Justin and Taylor to play.

    Worth doing Trent -> Cancelo for a hit?

    Will probably need to it next week anyways as I want to fund Son -> KDB, but another week will give me more info. Can also possibly do that by downgrading Jimi -> Bamford/Antonio and keep Trent even if he is injured

  12. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah on -88% and moving fast. Gonna drop we think?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tonight I mean

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      who knows, lot of wildcards flying about. i'd assume so but wouldn't be surpised either way

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you need to know now? Check up on it later if not

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Will make move tonight if it seems like he will drop

    4. Jink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure now that he is red flagged.

    5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I bought him for 12. Another drop will still mean the same sell value.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I bought at 12.2 so lose 0.1 which would effect GW10 moves

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes and that 0.1 can be so precious. Are you holding because you expect fresh Salah news tomorrow?

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Just wanted confirmation that my main options were fit to play (Rashford or Bruno)

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              He is dropping fast, but I think I will still hold and bench. Have Martial as my United option. And Podence as a replacement from the bench. Do not want to waste a -4 and an FT to move him out and get back again.

        2. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          isn't he 12.3? it wont affect you if you bought at 12.2

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            My bad I bought at 12.3 so yeah the drop will still effect me

  13. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Start Mitchell and if so, whom to bench?

    Martinez
    Robbo - Chilwell - Saiss
    Barnes - Jota (c) - J-Rod - Zaha
    Kane - Jimi - Brewster

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brewster if any

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What's the deal with Saiss? No longer nailed on?

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Kilman's father sadly passed away and Coady might not be ready either

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      will Mitchell start ?

  14. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best combo going forward?

    A) Werner + Cancelo
    B) Vardy + Cancelo
    C) Sterling + 4.6 def rotating with Lamptey
    D) Fernandes + Cancelo

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  15. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Get rid of 1 and get 1: (or should I do 2 for a hit?)

    1. Barnes
    2. Foden
    3. Podence

    A. Gralish
    B. Ziyech
    C. Jota

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Barnes, Jota

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        would you do Barnes>Jota for a hit?

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Podence -> any of them.. Prolly Grealish as he has high ownership

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Podence looked the most dangerous of the 3 from eye test though.

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Podence get Ziyech

    4. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      3A

  16. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Grealish/Vardy or De Bruyne/Watkins?

    Currently on former, due to both being on penalties, still think Liverpool will be quite solid maybe concede 1 but still win 2-1

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        And Grealish is not on penalties. Watkins is

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, so on former B as it stands..

        2. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I mean the latter

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            There you go, haha 😀

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The former has Grealish, but Watkins is on penalties.

      I’d still say the Grealish/Vardy option

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      First

  17. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    In isolation, I think these moves that I did for -12 as soon as the the last GW ended kind of look ok?

    I did:

    Pulisic > Ziyech (Puli won’t play)
    Jorginho > Soucek (Jorg probs won’t even start)
    Saiss > Cancelo (Saiss likely won’t start)

    Would anyone say these were quite worth it considering long term?

    Cheers.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss will likely start

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        How so? He’s been dropped hasn’t he? Not played the last 2 games. Either way I can’t take the risk of him not starting every GW

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Kilman's father sadly passed away and Coady might not be ready either

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Ahh ok yes of course, forgot about Kilman.
            Still though with Cancelo feels safer, along with the other moves, pretty good in isolation?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Long term probably good moves

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers man, now just got to decide wether to sell on Salah or bench for Brewster. Will probably sell,’season in turmoil as usual so why not.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I would sell. I see him missing at least 2 games. Waiting to make sure the replacements are fit before I make the move

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah true, would mean a -16 in total, but like I’ve said, in isolation pretty worth it, and whoever is being brought in for Salah will score more than him obviously. Will wait though for replacement news same as yourself.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Isn’t -12 four transfers ?

      depends who you had on your bench really, but long term removing Sais & Jorginho was a good move.

  18. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm what to do about Salah...

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sell

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sell

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team. I am probably keeping.

  19. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on
    Salah and Foden to KDB and Jota -4?

    Would bench Saiss or Lamptey.

    Martinez
    Robbo Chilwell Saiss Lamptey
    Ziyech Grealish Son Foden
    Kane DCL
    Mitchell Brewster Salah

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah to KDB only. You've held onto Foden for this long. Keep him for the good fixtures

  20. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A. Salah to Bruno (C)
    B. Salah to Sterling 1GW early and DCL (c)

    3.5itb 1ft
    Martinez
    Chilwell Taylor Ayling Cancelo Justin
    Grealish Son Rodriguez
    DCL Kane
    (Peacock Bissouma Salah* Vassilev)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one :/

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah it is a difficult one. I was thinking Son to Sterling in GW10 but if he puts in a good performance it'll be difficult to sell.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          For me it is Son to Bruno (C) now -4... Or Kane + Son -> Vardy + Sterling -4 next... Can't decide :/

  21. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else hitting a -8 this week?

    Hope I'm not the only one...

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I am

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      -12 here and maybe more! 🙂

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Might as well delete your fpl account if you're doing that

    3. Party time
        3 years, 4 months ago

        -48 in the bag. Not a problem at all

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Who to play?

      1. Kilman
      2. Mitchell

        Both likely won’t play anyway

        See what the pressers say. Kilman might be out

      3. popcoin
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'd start any defender against Burnley. If he doesn't play Kilman is a good sub

      4. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Probably kilman as I don't see Mitchell starting the game after just coming back from injury and already has PvA available but Kilman might be out due to family bereavement

        Kilman ... we all get on with work at times like this, was it Aurier last season who’s father died but he played and got a clean sheet (I benched him) ?

      2 FT, looking for very short term punts before a WC, have both Trent and Salah
      A) Salah + Mitro to Bruno + Rich/DCL (and play Justin vs Liv)
      B) Son + TAA to Bruno + Digne (play Bissouma vs Avl)
      C) Salah + TAA to Bruno + Digne
      D) Mitro + TAA to Tammy + Digne (play Bissouma vs Avl)

      The plan is to WC next week, If I sell Salah, Ill lose 0.2 on him and Ill want him back for WC.

        I like A (with DCL) but you should have sold TAA a long time ago.

        Justin v LIV could work but I've gone Mitchell and Justin first bench.

        It's such a headf*ck this season, nobody really knows.

        Hope that helps! 😉

      Thoughts Boys and Girls (always should be someone you really lovvvvvvve!) on this bunch?

      Martinez
      Mitchell / Chilwell / Lamptey / Kilman
      Grealish / Ziyech / Son
      Werner / Kane / DCL

      Steer / Justin / Bissouma / Salah*

      My thoughts:

      1. Already did Havertz (covid) to Ziyech as my early FT.
      2. I'm not feeling Bruno or KDB as a Salah replacement THIS GW. Maybe next GW depending on news/fixtures.
      3. Bench order Ok?

      What says yous?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kilman might not play

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I understand that. Hence my question 3?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cancelled this GW I think

    8. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good to go or any changes needed for a hit?
      Also play Justin, Phillips or Mitchell?

      0.8 ITB, No FT

      Martinez
      Justin Lamptey Kilman
      Grealish KDB Bruno Son
      Kane DCL Werner

      Steer Phillips Bissouma Mitchell

      Can anyone see Martinez losing his place to Heaton?

      1. Super John McGinn-
        • 11 Years

        No

        1. popcoin
          • 12 Years

          not in a million years

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        More chance of me playing for Madrid next year

    10. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Boring one but Mitchell(bur) or Justin(liv) as first sub?

      Cheers 🙂

      1. popcoin
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mitchell definitely. Nice to have Justin as a sub for your first sub

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Very confusing reply haha.

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mitchell.

      3. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mitchell has played really well since he came into the team. Just like Justin. Both CRY and LEI have played welI. I doubt either of them will lose their places until they have a bad performance. Mitchell's situation different from Justin's as Mitchell had an injury. Which is I'm going Mitchell starting and Justin first bench purely based on fixtures.

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          * why I'm going

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks mate. Yeah, think I’ll go Mitchell first sub and Justin second. Just think Justin is quite attacking against a poor pool defence and Mitchell could be a 1 point cameo?

            1. ZimZalabim
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Rafa who would u pick out of Lewis or Lascelles ? as a rotation option looking at 14 vs Fulham in particular

              1. FPL Xylophone
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Lewis definitely

            2. JohnnyRev7
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I think cry will steamroller BUR but BUR will score. I think LIV v Lei will be a cagey affair but LIV will score.

              So in the greater scheme of things, whether Mitchell or Justin starts, or delivers, we're talking about 1-2pts difference.

              I could be wrong. I could be right.

    11. Mane Mane Mane
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have
      Martinez 4.0
      Dallas Justin Cancelo Coufal Mitchell
      Son Grealish Zaha Mane Bissouma
      Watkins Maupay Kane

      Thinking of taking Maupay out for Vardy for free this week then taking a -4 on Antonio for Kane and Son for KDB.

      Or
      Taking Maupay out for DCL and Son for Fernandes for a -4. Then the following week taking another -4 for Antonio for Kane and Zaha out for KDB.

      What’s the best move?

      Appreciate any help, cheers.
