Currently rocking with

Pickford - Fabianski
Hall - VVD - Mykolenko - Robinson - Kerkez
Salah - Palmer - Mbeumo - Rogers - Dango
Isak - Wood - Gakpo

It's doing me alright but I need to climb up my mini leagues. Who is missing from my team?

  Mazraoui still plays? Forgot about him since GW5/6. Wouldn’t play any United players. I have Robinson and Cunha, benching Robinson. Also have Gabriel v Wood and currently playing them both.

    Defenders I have are Gabriel, Trent, Mazraoui, Robinson and Myko.
    Wont play Myko since I own Wissa&Mbeumo. TAA is a lock, so that leaves 2 out of those 3

Robertson always has a mistake in him. It will be him to blame if Trent loses the cleanie.

        I don't have the transfers available to do that without taking a hit and don't fancy the hit. My aim is to be able to get 11 out in 29 without a hit and then will WC in 30/31

I had 2 plans for this game week
1 Slot to Arteta (bench Gakpo) or
2 Gakpo to Beto & bench Rogers or Gordon
Why is it more often than not that the "risky" move outscores the "sensible" move ?
