    Would you WC or wait?

    If not WC will probably bring in Semenyo and maybe Udogie for Rodgers and Esteve. (2FT and 1m itb)

    Will give me:

    Sanchez
    Murillo Porro Udogie
    Gakpo Semenyo Salah Reijnders Anderson
    Håland Pedro

    Bench: Dubravka, Gudmundson, Lacroix, Guiu

        He's never really had a huge ceiling has he? IIRC when he returns it's usually 5-8pts, and I think Pedro outscores that over the season.

      Anyone else think Caicedo is a bit over-rated?

      Take away those 2 goals and the baps he got, and he would not be anywhere near as popular as he is. Sure he scored those 2 goals, but he wont do it consistently.

      I don't think he is a bad pick, but do you really want two mids around 5.5? Everyone will have Reijnders too.

      Picking him over a 6.5 mid like Ndiaye needs some justification, and I'm curious how people who save money with him will put it to use, or will they just leave 1 mil in the bank? I personally don't see what the saved money is going on at the moment, other than money in the back or spending it on your bench.

      Also, when Palmer is back, people may be in the position of having 3 chelsea, do people really want that?
