    I really want to have Arsenal defender, I guess Gabriel?, but in don't know which to change to him. My defense do have good fixtures coming. I was going Cucurella, but again, his fixtures. Any suggestions?

    I have a defense of
    Cucurella, Munoz, Porro, Senesi, Esteve.

      1 starter, then bench order. Currently I have this. At first I was starting VDV but if Spurs do concede he rarely gets enough DEFCON... What order would you have?

                  Looks very strong!
                  Why Calafiori over Timber?
                  Check out Chalobah pre red card.
                  I may go Sarr over Paqueta but he really trolled me last season.

              Guys, would you do Bruno to Saka or roll ?
              If yes Who would you bench ?

              Raya
              Porro Richards Rodon
              Eze Semenyo Reijnders Kudus
              Haaland Watkins Larsen

              Dub Bruno VDV Andersen

              1. Thomasthefrankengine101
                  2 months, 2 days ago

                  Yes and then bench Reijnders

                • 9 Years
                2 months, 2 days ago

                I want to swap Salah to Saka but already have Eze. Is that a bad move?

                1. Ball Ake
                  • 1 Year
                  2 months, 2 days ago

                  It's a fine move, they'll both score well, if Ode is out injured for a while Eze should play in the advanced mid role. Do you have an Arsenal defender too?

                    • 9 Years

                    Yes
