Thank you very much for the above.
Usually have grabbed Pereira in past seasons but I am concerned about their opening fixtures and clean sheet potential although he should be alright for misc points (if I recall correctly). Not much interest in Gvardiol and I am confident enough in the likes of Nkunku, Smith-Rowe, Kamada/Minteh/Tielemans/etc that ideally on most occasions I would like to field two def early on and thus want to avoid an overspend. If Quanash starts, then I like the selection as it enables Eze and I am expecting Gibbs-White to be a short term rental to chase a negative breakeven in RD3 with a boost used for defenders.
Hall is at a great price point to adjust down which is why he has been a mainstay in most of my iterations. Fixture the main allure for Bassey and one I would rather start than trade into due to a greater confidence in fielding if required.

Quansah will start. Slot is looking to play out from the back, and Quansah is better in that area. Whether he's a better DEF is another matter. But
Konate was away with France at the Euros, so that could be another factor in Quansah starting. For me, it's too risky given we need 3 games to cash in.
Eze without
Olise and
Mateta will receive far more attention IMO. I like him, but he's a history of being injury prone.
Not the best option, especially when
Havertz will be starting CF, and last season, he averaged 16 in the last 14 games as a CF.
I think
Leif Davis needs to be there, given he takes SPs and got 18 assists last season.
The risk of an assist with CS is real after GW3, and that'll see his price spike. Can't see it as good with
Bassey or
Hall.
Forest were experimenting with SPs during pre-season games. Doesn't mean
MGW will lose them, but it's him or
TAA /
Gvardiol.
I too expect to revert to a 2-5-3 soon, so want at least one premium nailed DEF.
Currently, you're playing roulette with at least 2.
