Havertz bleeding money now. Think it's time.
My punt to sell him paid off. Has dropped $3.2m, and a BE of 22 with a tough game to come.

But he'll come good again. May as well keep him if you can bench him for the next game.
I'll be looking to get him back after the CHE game.

What he said.

There's not a lot of good midfield options. If you kept him, you saved trades at the cost of $. Would be mad to sell him now. Then you don't save trades and still lose money!

There is plenty of good options... just picking the right one is the key... sold Havertz last week.... wish I had the balls to have sold haaland 3 weeks ago.... lost 10million in no time... but he is the Man... right???

In midfield.

Dream Teamers?

Long term?

Name those not called Palmer, Bruno, Maddison, Havertz, Foden or De Bruyne??
I currently have 4 of the top 5 scorers of Mids in DT points
1.Palmer
3. Havertz
4. Bowen
5. Buonanotte

Plus Fernandes

Maddison is No.2 which I’m considering, but he seems out of favour with Ange

Considering trading Havertz out as he’s loosing cash fast, but probably too late
Also considering trading out Buonanotte as he’s price as peaked

So do I go Buonanotte to Maddison

He's still getting loads of shots off, so he should have been scoring. The eye test shows he should have scored a few more than what the stats show. The problem with Haaland, is the high ceiling. If you don't have him and he goes big, it'll hurt you twice as much cos many will have him VC or C. Palmer showed just how damaging a player can be. That week, it was literally a 100 pt turnaround for non-Palmer holders.
Gotta be brave (or more likely stupid), to not have Haaland. The downside is far greater than the upside of having another FOR, who too, is likely inconsistent.

Buonanotte has to go. Likely had a good streak. Won't keep it up the whole season.
Opponents would have assessed his threat and found ways to counter it.

Maddison has IPS @ home. Enticing. But has he fallen out with Ange, is it fitness, or horses for courses?
Spurs have a midweek away game in Turkey. Maybe we'll get some answers after that?

Foden is the other potential MID you need. But with 5 chairs for 6 players, someone misses out.

Unbelievable stellar run from Young comes to an end. $4.4m to $10.65 was crazy. Thank you for your service.

Buonanotte made $1.3m. 8 & 7 pts weren't as many as I'd hoped, but he was a fair punt that just didn't work out.

Saliba dirt cheap, but no need for me to get him, as was the case with Dias.
I want the best from each team, and Gabriel is the best ARS DEF. At that price, he's a fair acquisition.

So much cash, I gotta keep it in hefty bags.

Kelleher will go. Whether it's Raya, Ederson, Allison or someone else, I really have no idea.

DEF & FOR are done.

MIDs are the coin toss.
I've gone for Bowen as he'll be fresher and less likely to be rotated due to Hammers lack of Cup comps.
Next week, after the IB, Casemiro will go for either Maddison, Havertz or KDB.

The timing of my trades couldn't have gone better. Fortunate that they all behaved and went when I wanted them to go.
Still 3 boosts left and will have 22 trades after next week, so will play hokey cokey if the conditions are conducive.
With over $9m in surplus cash, I can literally get anyone I want. But I might just pay off the Australian Trade debt.
