Luckily money is not really much of an issue for me so i have the luxury of potentially paying slightly overs in the pursuit of a good score. Chances are he probably doesnt make his BE but he definitely could and if he does, you'd want him for that score!
You're definitely right. It's going to be a balancing act and I find myself vascillating to and fro.

We'll have to change your name to Daddy Warbucks. :p
Haha, sounds good to me :p

My biggest decision this week is whether i use my last boost to get Foden or just leave it until next week. Im currently thinking ill use the boost as id rather get to my ideal team sightly quicker. With less blank/double rounds this season, im hoping there isnt a round where i really would need the boost. Ideally i get a strong team with a very strong bench too. That should come in handy when players are injured/rested. Still feel like 25 trades is an OK amount at this time of the season, given it should only take 5-7 more trades to have a very strong 12 that i can potentially rotate based on matchups/injuries

Just running a eye over this weeks offerings. Some cheap offerings, have looked to Newcastle as my first trade in DEF. Was skimming through the MIDFIELD and came across Bruno, had to look twice, then i reached for my glasses. Can a member share his BE.

Antonio is real cheap also. Might move him onto the bench for the next month and see what happens.

My DT if i boost for Foden. 2.36M leftover

Will probably grab P.Porro next round. Then ill look at Liverpool and Arsenal assets for my defence in the weeks thereafter

0.7M in the bank after using my accumulated transfers

Im probably going to drop Watkins down in 2 weeks time and do a Bowen > Palmer trade

Not sure whether i play McNeil or Wood this round. Both have decent matchups

The current team after transfers.

Allison expected to be out for 4 games, so Kelleher can come in for cash and pts.

If Young does really well, then Mosquera can stay and he auto-subs.
Same goes if Saka does really well. Stick or twist to Haaland?
Then there's Foden. He'll likely stay cos Dibling will lose the same amount of cash.
Can bench Gvardiol and start Foden if need be.

I have a headache. Too many permutations and combinations.
I'll worry about it when I have to worry about it.

If Saka isn't starting, then I can reverse that trade and bring back Salah.
Salah had a 9 day break and so should be super fresh.

For those of us with Whiteman as GK, dummy captain, what are we doing re VC and C this round?

I don't have any Spurs/Hammers players, so have gone Mbeumo as VC. Not sure what I will do if he does well.... :unsure:

I’m putting all my eggs in the basket with the C on Haaland, due to do something, I have Austin GK and no other donuts
