    Thoughts here? Assuming there wont be a dgw next week so making the transfers on friday. Selling KDB for next 5 and going from 4 at the back to a 343.

          Besides being one of the top players there’s a serious lack of midfield options. If you feel you can score well without, go for it especially if chasing rank

            It well make my team better overall imo. For the blanks it's Jimenez, Barnes vs. Cantwell, Fernandez/Holgate for example. No other easy way to get Jimenez either.

    Morning dzz, absolutely no clue what to do if there is a dgw29 especially as the martial injury means I only have 9 starters and that includes Rico

    Ryan
    Taa Robb Aurier Rico -- Lundy
    Salah Martial Grealish -- Stephens Kdb
    Vardy Jimmy Ings

    A: Lundy > Boly and carry FT. And play with 9 starters and hope that Martial and Rico play. 2FTs handy next gw to makes dgw moves

    B: Martial >> Barnes and have 10 starters. This would enable Vardy > Auba move next gw

    C: Grealish > Barnes and convert Robbo/ Martial/Vardy >> Boly/Mahrez/Auba (-4) next gw

    Is it now Newcastle will start doing some good old hard defensive work? - on paper fixtures look good.

      They might now that they feel the pressure of relegation. They've been quite lazy last few game weeks, allowing a ton of shots and chances against. Stats from earlier in the season suggest they should be able to do better

        Yes. I need to change Lundstram and might go for Lascelles - cheap and will sit on the bench most weeks anyway...

      Maddo is my flavour of the week. He's on all the setpieces and a lot goes through him even if he sits a bit deep lately.

      Maddison if funds not an issue.

      I think if I take a hit I will bring in Barnes to be able to upgrade Ings/DCL to Jimenez before GW31

    Would you take a hit to swap Dendoncker to Barnes and play him instead of Lascelles or Taylor?

    Pope
    TAA - Dunk - Taylor - Lascelles
    Salah - Mane - Traore
    DCL - Ings - Vardy
    Button - Dendoncker - Rico - KdB

    TIA

    Traore > Barnes for a hit, foolish?

    Looking for differentials to catch up, thinking Traore is due another benching this week whilst Barnes comes back in
