Also thanks to everyone for posting their thoughts and to THCLT for the rundowns it really helps seeing lots of different thoughts, ideas and information.
Just putting something out there, Raya is an interesting option at 4.5 million, Arsenal defence hasn't been the best recently but you'd imagine it would come good from round 12 onwards at least.

Thanks @Gazza's Treats for pointing out the typo on Rico Lewis data, table has been updated. 
At least I have someone reading and checking on what I post which is much appreciated.

but also with your correcting I am sure you saved some other coaches to buy Lewis now as the BE changed from -11 to 7 nowKeep up the good work my friend I am always looking forward to them as it has a wealth of information for the more experience coaches as well
Do we think Bruno will thrive under a new manager? Or same role? It seems Bruno has had a bit of bad luck, near misses from himself and teammates so he could've got an extra couple returns but thats in the rear view mirror. Looking ahead, it seems to me that a player of his calibre will eventually start delivering but i dont have the knowledge to know if a new manager will help or hinder him?
For fantasy purposes only, im really waiting until he gets a return or two and i do feel like i will own him at some point. Any thoughts?

Time to start making moves, given I have a few transfers and boosters left.
Justin made $4.4m Can't complain. Thank you for your service.
Was hoping he could get a few more pts and maintain cash, but NFO are proving a stubborn team.
With a BE of 23, even a game against IPS can't sway me to hold him.
Porro is a top 5 DEF. $8m is a decent price to pay.
Don't have to wait for him to get cheaper given the cash I have. The time to flip is right.
Kovacic rode the pine for me in both his games, but made $2.4m. Thank you for your service.
Kept Kovacic last week and dumped Havertz, who got 2 and dropped $1m.
Last minute decision when Foden was started. Risky move, but the timing was right.
Could well pay off more given Havertz has two tough away games and doesn't do well away.
BE of 28 means potential to buy him back even cheaper.
Eze could be another Bruno, or could well start his run.
With a BE of 2 and having scored 17, 20 & 16 in his last 3 games vs WOL, I feel another decent punt.
Can't complain with that price. $3.4m knocked off last year's value.
KDB not ready, Havertz not ripe, only Bowen and Maddison are other considerations.
Given their respective matchups last week, keeping Watkins and not getting in Saka was still the right move.
Doubt over Saka's fitness and ARS playing also, also made it a prudent decision to stay away.
But he ended up with 7 pts more and the prices swung $2.5m. Them's the breaks.
Though I feel Saka is overpriced, there's no doubting he's a top 3 FOR, so given cash is no issue, he comes in.
Still two tough games to come, but his worst score has been 9 so far, away to City. Seems fixture proof.
Scored 17 last time out against the next 3 upcoming opponents.

Kelleher stays. He's not playing well. Definitely no Allison.
But I don't really know who I want. GKs are a lottery.
Ederson is cheap and popular, but Raya is just as cheap and probably a better longer term pick.
Will likely wait for Raya to be ripe before flipping.
Given priorities with transfers this week, that decision to wait is really being made for me.
Young keeps getting Younger. Crazy run just continues. Ima ride him out.
The hope was to get Gabriel in, but with the injury and BE, the timing isn't right.
Saliba could be ready next week, but I really like Mosquera.
Gives me another loop option and I don't really need 5 playing DEF ATM.
Buonanotte vs IPS and a BE of 7 warrants another week keeping him.
Will likely be Bowen coming in for him next week.
I'll be stabbing the Maddison voodoo doll double time, hoping Maddo gets crocked and Porro gets SPs.

Not sure selling Watkins is the best move.
Or another Mount (as in always injured).

Spurs high line will suit Watkins, so I agree. But it's for Saka. Can't ignore Saka's scores, even when he blanks.
Eze made the decision easy... again. Love it when my options get injured the week I want them. Hello Bowen.
EDIT: Dammit. Maddison with two home games coming up. Will get him. Watch him get injured now.
