    Ederson is probably the only City defender worth getting. Ortega isn't a good enough replacement so he's fairly nailed, City have a lot of clean sheets in them now that they have a formula, and he isn't prone to being subbed off at the 56th minute with your team on course for getting a clean sheet... But goalkeeper slots are the only ones where you actually can save money without losing out on points potential...

      Until the 61st min when he concedes the only shot on target.

      We all know it's a lottery.

      Ederson was utterly awful to own last season

    De Zerbi said in his presser that he's "already forgotten about caceido"

    Klopp may be saying the same to his wife this evening ;))

    I managed to get cap back on Haaland from Saka just before the deadline. Good news or bad?

          Sounds good. So many unknowns including Spurs restructure and untested Utd goalie. But Forest v SHU could be CS and / or saves with no high quality striker (think Osula due to be replaced)
