Nice trades. Saliba must be frustrating to own but im actually considering trading him in when he bottoms out. He will just be bench depth but will be valuable in allowing me to upgrade to the rest of my desired defence. Im also thinking ill try and keep Milenkovic as depth for my defence as he is reliable and NTF are proving fairly difficult to score against. Ideally id get to TAA/Gabriel/Gvardiol or someone else as an attacking defender and then have Milenkovic & Saliba on the bench to rotate in when there is an injury or a really bad matchup.

Baleba the only issue I have. BE of 14, he's run his race.
Buonanotte still can make cash. Good run and a good two fixtures to come. Plays first though.
None of the others appeal. Maddison, Bowen, KDB, Foden, Eze, Damsgaard (will Wissa's return move him back to a less attacking position?)
With cash and trades to burn, I could then get Foden, if he starts, for Kovacic, and bench TAA.
Even thinking of dumping Havertz, as he is a home bully. LIV will be tough, and then he's got two tough away games.
But with a 43% ownership and 14 not really a high BE, it's a risk I don't need to take as I'm not chasing anyone.
Nice problems to have.

Kudus from West Ham in a touch of bother. Not surprised after watching the game. Looked very average.
Mohammed Kudus has been charged with improper conduct following his red card against Tottenham on Saturday – leaving the forward at risk of an even longer ban.
Kudus saw red in West Ham's 4-1 defeat after lashing out at Micky van de Ven and Pape Matar Sarr in the closing stages of the game.
The forward was originally shown a yellow card by referee Andrew Madley, but this was upgraded to a straight red on VAR review.
Kudus aimed two kicks at Van de Ven while the defender was on the floor, then shoved the Spurs man in the face after he had got up to confront him.
Despite his team-mates' attempts to retrain him, Kudus then also pushed Sarr in the face.
The 24-year-old has now been charged with improper/violent conduct by the Football Association. A statement read: 'Mohammed Kudus allegedly acted in an improper manner and/or used violent conduct after the offence that he was sent off for.'
Violent conduct offences are a minimum three-game ban but Kudus risks having this increased if his respective charge is upheld.

I will definitely consider Bruno as a season keeper, given his pedigree.
But with a few more options, and cash and transfers not an issue, I could hokey cokey him.
If he's going to keep up his double digit avg for the season, he's going to have to haul ass from now on.
He's the type of guy that I feel will come good, so I'll give him as much of a chance as possible.
He's definitely still shooting, so the goals, penalties and assists will come.
As for Saka, for sure he'll be a consideration at some point for Watkins.
But as cash isn't an issue for me, I'll keep Watkins @home to BOU, instead of getting Saka @home to LIV.

Haven't done extensive research, but it looks like Kevin Schade will make way for Wissa.
Makes Damsgaard a fair option for anyone wanting some BRE cover for their upcoming good run.
He's definitely changed his role. Playing wider and getting in more crosses, hence the likely 3 assists in the last two games.
I'll probably stay away from him though. I think my guy is Buonanotte. Flashbacks of Foxes 2015/16 coming back.
