You’d need a double rise on Dilva to make 0.1 after sales tax. The above move actually gives you 0.1 as well....

I would also look at the defence. Whilst clean sheets have not yet been as predictable as they were last year there’s value to be had. Plus when I wild-carded last GW and had a draft with those x2 £4m players it was pointed out that neither were regular players for their clubs last year. I’d been working on the basis that if one lost his place the other would play. A couple of people pointed out the risk in that assumption. Time will tell on that (and what do I know? I played it safe with Boly who then got sent off!)

I got Dilva when he’s on 7.4M (1 raise). The idea is that Man City have got pretty solid next 7 fixtures attacking wise! David Silva’s minutes vs Mount’s consistency might be the key here. Of course, Salah vs Mane will be an issue as well.

Thank you. But what would you suggest from the above to fit in Salah+Otamendi?

Ahh, ok.

I like the triple up, I say go for it

The key there is Salah. I tried really hard to go without him and bottled it. I’m still on the fence about it as a decision and wouldn’t want to steer you one way or the other.
If you did go with him then (as well as Mané) the extra cash for me would have to come from one of the City mids. As jacksosi suggests a couple of posts above, it starts to look very ‘template’, the main decision being between another a base price midfielder or attacker. Whilst I’ve been typing he’s also recommended the x3 City and this is not to disagree, just present an alternative
FWIW I went with the cheap attacker. I can hop on and off two mid-price attackers (like you, currently Haller & Pukki; single moves to Abraham & Barnes respectively). I can also do the same between Mount, James, Trossard, etc. in midfield.

Without Salah you can have them all and then decide who to bench. Happy days apart from when he scores a brace, an assist and a couple of BPs.... and the majority have captained him

Good luck!
