    Wilson away to Burnley who I expect to tighten now that are our of Europe or,

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Burnley were out of Europe last week and weren't exactly watertight.

    3. Critical Observer
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 days ago

      David is as good as a certainty and Bernardo up there as well. Hopefully they'll both feature in the center, with Sterling & Sané on the wings, Gündogan on the bench.

      Fraser won’t do what he did last week he’ll blank

    7. George James

    Would you do Mendy, Bernardo, Kamara > Bennett, Fraser, Lukaku -4? Would leave me with:

    Patricio
    Alonso - Robertson - Shaw - Bissaka
    Hazard - Mane - Pogba - Fraser
    Aguero - Lukaku

    Hamer - Stephens - Bennett - Ings*

    1. Oven Glover

    Any news on Arnie?

    What about -4 Arnie to Murray (still have WC for future use)?

    1. william prunier
      • 9 Years

      He plays

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 7 days ago

        Keep

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 days ago

      If Arnie can play he will play. He’s too important to them, and definitely don’t take out for a hit

          Pep just said he’s injured, no other info on timescale, severity etc. Apparently it’s just bruising so it’s possible but highly unlikely imo

        Currently playing Cook and captaining Aguero, but I can make an argument for any combination.

        Currently on

        Foster, Fab

        Alonso, Wan-B, TAA (bednarek, Mendy)
        Wally, Richarlison, Hazard, Salah (c), Fraser
        Wilson, Aguero (Ings)

        1FT and 1m ITB¨

        With Mendy and Ings out i only have bednarek on the bench.

        Good to go or trade Mendy down?

        Going Mendy + Walcott to whomever i fancy in defense and mid next if i stay and Mendy still is injured

        1. Mr. Jenkins
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 days ago

          Thinking low DEF (Doherty?) and Pogba or Sane.

          1. Mr. Jenkins
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 7 days ago

            or low def low mid (milner?) and Giroud

        2. nadman89
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 days ago

          if you want safety in case TAA doesnt start

          bednarek -> bennett ?

          mendy -> shaw

          wally can easily then go for david silva , or straight swap for maddy
