    I've already taken a -4 and now I need to offload Pogba. If I activate the wildcard now, will that cancel the -4 for the week? Pretty sure it does

    Benteke and Pogba to Kane (c) and a 5.9m midfielder (Richie, Chuopo-Moting) for -4 is on the cards now.

    Had already planned tadic and chicarito out for Kane and a 5.5 or less mid. (To fund kane)

    Tadic was dropped last week but Southampton lost so he might be recalled.

    If I thought he'd play I'd keep him and sell pogba for a 7.0 mid to fund Kane (assuming pog is ruled out as expected)

    that injury is going to actually help folk who don't have Kane, as now they have cash, whereas those of us with Kane and Pogba, now are missing Pogba and have to find a replacement.

    2FT.

    Cedric or Morgan or Suttner to Bavies.
    Lacazette to Kane.
    Alli to someone around the £6.8 mark.

    Not exactly delighted with it.
    Will wait til after CL.

    Alli stays then, and instead will need to do something more Pogcentric now - the upside of having waited (Bavies going up .1 being the downside).
    All the apples will be in the Spurs Wembley cart I guess.

    Who are we thinking will fill in for Pogba?

    Lingers/Mata/Fellaini/Herrera?

    I was really hoping to bank this week after playing the wildcard last week, but Pogba -> Mkhitaryan seems like the easiest transfer ever, no?

    I don't think it really mattes, as for 3 of them players your not buying for FF, and the other's (Mata) game time is still not guaranteed. Best to look elsewhere imo.

    Would it be better to look elsewhere? Especially if you have Lukaku already.

    Pedro could be worth a look perhaps?

    Have both William and Pogba and don't know what to do now. Not sure if Willian is gonna start but will probably have to use my FT on Pogba

    Yeah I'll probably be relying on Tadic now or could start Stephens.
    However I now have the option of keeping Kun instead of Jesus!!!
    They've got me 44pts but the City pair have given me a few extra grey hairs.

    Thinking Alli over Eriksen in the WC, he'll be a differential in some leagues

    I was already relying on Stephens starting.
    Tadic I'd expect to come back but may have a price drop before then?
    I'll watch spurs match and make up my mind then.
    I think now I'll be wildcarding Friday.

    Kolasinac starting for me.
    Tadic is halfway to a rise atm.

    Cheers. I was looking at it wrong. Seen the red arrows and thought he was halfway to a drop. Ah he'll be fine price wise until the weekend. Prob not worth an extra -4 to ditch him. Especially when it's palace they play.

    Gonna have to get Kane in and will need a -4 to do so.

    Once Morata rises I'll have gained 0.1 on him.

    It'll be Alli to Chupa Moting

    Morata to Kane

    I'll be happy to just have Ben Davies and Kane for Spurs

    I'm doing the exact same with regard to spurs, but thinking of keeping morata and looking at a front line of Morata Jesus Kane

    I'll finally be getting rid of lukaku. Even though he's getting goals, owning him just makes me feel cold and dirty. I don't like lukaku

    I'm also going chopo moting in

    Or with my 2 FTs I can just do lukaku to Kane and Ramsey to choupo moting... And keep dele for the swans....

    Pogba had 80k transfers in this week, a good few of those could be transferring out for a hit, mikytaran will probably be the biggest gainer from Pogba transfers.

    Current team is:

    Foster/Elliott
    Davies, Valencia, Stephens, Suttner, Mee
    Alli, Pogba, Ramsey, Richarlison, Carroll
    Lukaku, Firmino, Benteke (!!)

    Given that I will WC after fridays deadline (or GW7 at the latest) what would people think of:

    Pogba and Benteke to Kane (c) and a 5.9 midfielder (probably Ritchie or Chuopo-Moting) for -4?

    Sky saying he'll "be out for a few weeks". Looking at Mikhitryan as an option myself.

    Coutinho at 8.8. Surely if he starts this weekend and gets some points he'll shoot up fast.

    Also, with Pogba, since he's now flagged can he drop in value? I bought him at 8.1 but can get rid at with a 0.1 profit now. However that'd probably mean buying him back at 8.3 if he can't drop meaning I'd be losing out.
