WC GW 7

[SG_8]

I think I'm locked

Ramsdale (Foster)
Rudiger Lowton Cancelo (TAA, Livramento)
Salah Raphinha Saka Sarr (Brownhill)
Lukaku Jimenez Antonio

1.8 ITB to do Sarr to Grealish/Jota next week

If Chilwell/James becomes an option next week, I still have to option of going 4atb by swapping out Lowton.

[Hogmeister]

Think I'm locked too.

Have been round the houses on Alonso and TAA, but have decided to take TAA out and bring Alonso in. Viewing the Alonso pick as a 3-week punt before TAA returns in GW10, which I think justifies it - to me at least. The fact that TAA must be at least a slight doubt for the Watford game, and then has Man U (A), means fielding a Chelsea/City defender instead for the next three games is no hardship, plus it allows Jimenez over Toney for those three, which I think gives an upside due to fixtures.

I like the idea of a strong playing bench, including if needed in any one GW a rotating pair of ESR and Gallagher, to offset the potential for rotation in this squad.

Meanwhile I've been swayed by the idea of an old-fashioned rotating keepers pair, mainly on the basis I should now be able to completely forget about my keepers until WC2.

Will probably BB in GW9.

The biggest risk I think is the potential emergence of a Jota/Grealish/Mount "must have" player, which might then require more than one transfer to accommodate, at least if that happened within the first few weeks. That, or Ronaldo proving that everyone should have kept him, despite the fixture swing!

0.6m ITB

Good luck all

GL everyone.

[Fuzzy]

Good luck all WC-ers.

(I stopped where I said I would - very similar to Hogmeister, but bottled out of Alonso and have gone early on Grealish).
