    3 gameweeks in a week culminating in 5 free transfers. Popular free hit window. Such an odd time for Neale to take annual leave. Not going to be easy to navigate this without his insights 🙁

    Also does anyone know why his handover doc didn't have instructions for Marc to hyperlink the team news?

    Oh, new article!?? Okay...

    Thoughts on my potential moves or other ideas? 1FT. 0.2 ITB

    A) Semenyo/Cunha > Rice (play 4 defenders this week)
    B) Semenyo/Cunha + Guiu > Anderson + Thiago (-4) (bench Semenyo/Cunha)
    C) Roll FT (play 4 defenders this week)

    Petrovic
    Virgil Munoz Senesi
    Salah(c) Saka Mbuemo Cunha** Semenyo*
    Mateta(v) Welbeck

    Dubravka | Cucurella, Bijol, Guiu

    - I've already discounted Eze for this week, mostly due to Odegaard coming back. The fixtures aren't screaming for me to move early for him
    - Rice appeals because he is a fairly reliable pick, since I've moved to a weak bench, which could be weaker if Bijol is not playing
    - Or I can take a hit to improve my XI this week while simultaneously strengthening my bench (first sub, primarily)
    - With a hit, Anderson appeals for the same reason as Rice, but I could pick a cheaper player and play them less
    - Bought Semenyo for 7.3. (7.9 now). Selling Cunha is better for this week, but he's more enticing for the December period than Semenyo
