Given the amount of goals being scored, I can see you very quickly deciding to save money in defense to invest further up the pitch. Lamptey is a more likely source of attacking returns and for 0.5 less. Also having such an expensive defense and then spending 6.0 on Mitro to be on your bench makes no sense. I'd rather have two 4.5 defs and rotate them and spend a bit more on a striker, plenty of options at 6.5.

Finding it much more difficult to pick a wildcard team this year. Thanks for the advice.

Comparing him to Rodriguez - comes down to your opinion of what he brings to Everton - is he an assists the assists type player? Will he be on set plays much? is there better value in Ricky/DCL ?

No Liverpool defence teams look great till you realise they have no Liverpool defence. But if Coleman or Saiss (with those superb fixtures) can get a 6 or 7 pointer when Trent gets his 15 it's a matter of what the 2.5m for you elsewhere. Gonna gamble without most likely. Its 2 transfers to revert. KWP - I know Southampton have been awful but they surely have to tighten up a bit. And kwp rotates quite well with Lamptey and has looked to have good assist potential so far. Justin has looked good but still could be dropped when Pereira returns. James at 5.0 also remains a gametime risk I think. Dont know if this Burke fella is worth the risk. He played OOP but is he in any way nailed? Especially if and when SHU sign a striker. Bissouma is the best 4.5 mid otherwise I think and may go with him despite the suspension. Jiminez is pricey for not being explosive in the past, but with those fixtures perhaps his ceiling is higher and even captainable. Werner I want and will probably captain against WBA but needs to justify his spot pretty quick after that. Can be swapped to a lot of options especially with 1m in bank. Cant see what to spend the 1m on right now. It doesnt change a 5m def to a liverpool def. It doesnt change a Podence to a Hamez, and I dont think spending it on say Klitch as a 5th mid is worth it. And I dont see many of the 5m keepers worth 0.5 more than the 4.5 options. Rather keep it for flexibility for now. That's my current thinking. Feedback welcomed.

I’m going to keep one Liverpool defender, think it’s understandable going without one at the moment but feel like in a few weeks time I’d probably be wanting to transfer one of them in. If your sticking with a 4.5 midfielder, I’d probably pick Bissouma over Burke, but that’s purely based on knowing very little about Burke or his chances of being nailed on to start games. Other than that, there’s not much I’d change, maybe Podence to Klich, you already have Wolves cover with Jimenez, and Klich is in an attack minded team and on penalties.
FHFC wrote: » No idea really on keepers. As far as I can see all the 4.5 and 5.0 ones are all fairly equally poor. Leno maybe worth stretching to 5 if the fixtures weren't so awful, but maybe see it as a long term investment set and forget. Brighton looked ok defensively so could go for the double up with Lamptey in the end.

Any thoughts?
