Add to that, you will need a bench over the next 8 GW's or so as there will be times these will be rotated. If you go with TRAM and AWB, £8.5m for GK's and then the Big 3 (Aguero, Salah, Hazard) then you are leaving yourself with £28m for 5 players (3 midfielders and 2 attackers). Work out the numbers and you are left with a lot of risky budget players who may not play either.

Probably needed even moreso between now and Christmas.

KevIRL wrote: » Considering this. Mitro/Knockeart/Peltier to Success/Trippier/Delefou or Brooks or some other 5.4 or cheaper mid for a -4. This would leave me with Ryan/Foster Trippier/Mendy/Robertson/Alonso/AWB Salah/Hazard/Richarlison/5.4 or lower/Gunnarrson Aguero/Arnie/Success Plan would be to play either 443 or 433 with Success or 5.4 mid being benched every week. Personally am a fan as it gets me TRAM who are delivering. Also improves my bench with perma injured Peltier finally gone. Gets rid of Knockeart the dope too. Downsides, still no Wolves defence cover - prob okay for a couple of weeks and no Bournemouth attacking cover (been killing me recently). Also a week where TRAM all concede could be very grim. Thoughts?

Out : TAA, Ricky, Ings & Lacazette (Ings, Ricky and Laca were starting to stink out my team) In : Mendy, Barkley, Vardy & Arnie (Mendy a season keeper, Barkley short term but an enabler aswel, Vardy and Arnie got great fixtures for the next 5)
