57 points - changes needed.
Thoughts on Eriksen and Daniels out / Moura and Alonso in for a -4?

What’s really annoying is my cheap bench fillers reducing my team value 
Stephens about to drop to 4.4 and Bednarek already dropped to 3.9.
Stephens about to drop to 4.4 and Bednarek already dropped to 3.9.That's 13 above average. I wouldn't say you need change as such, but you do need Alonso. A Chelsea left forward for 6.7.
He's due to go up as well.
57 is a good score this round I'd say.. None of Salah, Aguero or Kane delivered. Wait till after the international break is over at least..

I read somewhere that none of the top top managers care about team value at all. It barely affects your overall score apparently. Captain choice and who to buy is 100x more important
Yeah the price change is forcing me into it tonight, as I wanted to wait until closer the deadline. Daniels is set to drop tonight as well, so it’s essentially a 0.2 swing.
Eriksen has been very disappointing. My only concern is Moura being rotated as Son will now be back.
I hate taking -4 hits though and told myself I won’t take any, but it has to be done it seems.
Are you making any changes?

If I wait, I won’t be able to afford the change though
My only issue is that I now am stuck with Bednarek for 3.9 who doesn’t even play. I wanted to get Bennett in for 4.0 but can’t do that now. That’s my only issue with the price drops.
61 points this gameweek. I had brought Alonso and Moura in for Davies and Eriksen, which worked out really well for me. It also released enough money for me to have just transferred Sanchez out for Hazard. Now watch him get injured for Belgium...

When are you planning to WC?
Really not sure, I always try and wait to around Halloween unless it’s an emergency.
I’m fairly happy with my team, so I think it would be a waste to use it now?
If I make the 2 changes it would be:
——-———-Ederson
—--Shaw - Robertson - Alonso
Mane - Hazard - Moura - Richarlison
—-Aguero - Wilson - Firmino
Wan-Bissaka is playing for Richarlison - I had him from the start for 6.5 so didn’t want to transfer out and have to get him back in later.
I've done Salah to Hazard as I expect he'll rise this week and didn't want to have to keep an eye on it or miss it completely.
It'll let me do some more improvements over the next few gameweeks all going well.
I'd be concerned about Moura too. Tough one.
Salah’s price will likely drop before the next game. Everyone’s team will be pretty much identical with the extra funds to spend.
Would you lose money on Richarlison if you bought him for 6.5, sold him for 6.6 and bought him back for 6.7 (current price) though?
Yeah I think you should wait with the WC. Looks good. Only worry IMO is Liverpools tough fixtures with inevitable rotations coming up, and Moura probably.
Weak bench is always a worry but as long as you have 2 starters I wouldn't worry with that team. Good luck whatever you deside!
I have Shaw but I could potentially upgrade him to Alonso... pull the trigger ? Tempted to swap Salah for Mane as well
Might not lose anything on Richarlison but I would have had to take a -4 to remove him at the time and he’s a player I’ll want in the future, so it would have been another transfer. I just decided to bench him and ride it out.
I’ll make the decision tonight on Moura, I might go for Pereyra from Watford as a different option.
Thanks buddy.
I think Shaw is a great option at 5.0. United started poorly but will always have a decent defensive record and he’s getting forward well. Any other defenders you can change instead?
The amount of points Alonso's on is sickening, it's more than most of the better midfielders
I've dropped Salah now, his head quite clearly isn't where it was with this Egypt stuff so hes a waste of money given his value. If Sari keeps messing with Pedro like this weekend i might need to replace him also, though hoping his goal means he starts v Cardiff.
It really is. I’ve snapped tonight and got him in. Too many points to ignore and he easily could have had more goals and assists from what I watched yesterday.
Thinking about dropping Salah, I have Mane too so he's staying. Any suggestions for who to go for in replacement? Or should I hang on for a week or two?
Edit, my current Midfield is Salah, Pereyra, Kante, Mane, (Richarlison on bench)

I'm considering dropping Salah for mane but at the rate people are selling Salah, he may end up being the differential I need 
Still think it's too early to be ditching Salah.
Anyone tempted with Lukaku?
3 goals already and really could have had a few more.

61 points this week. Not too bad but simple mistakes of choice make all the difference for me as always. Could've got 80+ this week but whatever...
Same here. Now i'm thinking about changing him. Too early to do that?

If I could afford Moura I'd probably make the switch now, but I can't and nobody else I fancy so I think I'll wait. If I get one or two injuries during the international break it will probably force me to WC.
76 points, and that's with a -4 points.
Happy with that. Think I have a decent team after the international break. Just need to use that free transfer wisely.

Another good week with 69, upto 2nd in the Redcafe league and 24th in Wales
Yeah, i already got Moura and as you said there's no one that tempts me to get him instead of Mhki so i'll also wait probably. Surprised that he's dropped today; dunno how he did against West Ham last week but i thought he was very good against Chelsea.
Robertson, Mendy and holebas... you see my dilemma
I wanted to put him in when I used my WC but couldn't fit him in without weakening my field too much. Wildcard is still active though so might try and get him in
Risers (1)

- Peltier £3.9
- Bissouma £4.9
53 points this round, not bad but not great either.
Tosun and Bernardo are up for sale, think I will also try to upgrade Ben Davies to Alonso. I got £0.6m in the bank too. Also contemplating moving from De Gea to Lloris, that would be a £0.5m saving that I could use for upgrading elsewhere. Seri for Bernardo is tempting as that would be a £2.1m saving currently. Bernardo has not been scoring that well for me and Seri will be a fixture in Fulham first team for months to come and the main point of their midfield.

That feeling when you dropped Salah last week and everyone said you were crazy...
The feeling being "need to wait and watch how it turns out"?
Leicester have a long run of tasty looking fixtures. Vardy, Maddison and Pereira could be good picks.
Tosun has one more chance before he gets the boot.

Still titting about with my wildcard and currently have
McCarthy / Patricio
Mendy / Alonso / Robertson / Shaw / AWB
Mane / D Silva / Hazard / Lingard / Hojberg
Mitrovic / Aguero / Wilson
This does mean benching one of Shaw/Wilson/Mitro/Lingard every week but thinking that with the CL coming up I might need that stronger bench. Actually tempted to have Maddison in there over Lingard actually as Leicester have a great run coming up.

thinking of dropping salah and eriksen, getting in mane and hazard and upgrade zaha to kane or lukaku (have firmino and vokes as my other strikers) ofc I need to play my wildcard, tempted to remove firmino and have both kane and lukaku up front with kamara the other cheap option but I have to downgrade the defence which right now I am happy with (ddg - alonso - arnold - laporte - bissaka - bennett). Any thoughts?
Yeah I've got no doubt he'll be the top scorer for Liverpool again at the end of the season and most likely the top scorer in the game yet again. The only question is can I use the money to make up those points and even improve my team by upgrading 4 other players and I think I can.
Which will score more..
Salah, Bennett, Ings, Jimenez, Hughes
or
David Silva, Shaw, Lingard, Mitrovic, Wilson?
NB: Both teams contain Mendy, Robertson, Alonso, Hazard, Mane and Aguero.

Vardy will be back next game, no? I think that makes Maddison an enticing option if they are able to form a relationship.
I was just taking the piss out of him Cass for acting smug after a GW.
Re your 2 options, I see your thought process behind this but you can do better than the 2nd lot even if you go this route imo. 3 rotation risks there.
