I'm going to play my WC in gw10 so this week I have 1FT for a one week punt. Have £0.2itb. Thoughts on the best player to bring in?

Neto

Trippier - Cash - Botman

Salah - Saka - Maddison - Doku - Mbuemo

Haaland - Alvarez

(Turner - Gusto - Beyer - McAtee)

  Going to be a lot of price changes before Saturday I think. He might survive until Saturday morning when most people will finalise their transfers.

    The moment he scored for England last night, the chances of a drop ceased.

  Evans possibly. Branthwaite but playing Liverpool, Lamptey is flagged and playing City. Slim pickings.

      Yeah, really not sure if he will play or not, might get some info regarding the centre back position in the Friday pressers.

Anything need changing here?

Areola, Johnstone
Trippier, cash, udogie, Henry, botman
Son, Maddison, Bowen, Gordon, Mitoma
Haaland, Alvarez, Watkins

I do want Salah, but would feel uneasy getting rid of haaland or son.

Would you make any of these moves for GW 9 (planning to wildcard next week):

A) Botman to Burn (injury worry for Botman)
B) Saka to Bowen (injury worry for Saka)
C) Maddison to Bowen
D) Saka to Bruno
