ROB MAYESโ€™ GAMEWEEK 6 TEAM REVEAL

I was always planning to get Erling Haaland (ยฃ14.3m) in this week, but with Florian Wirtzโ€™s (ยฃ8.2m) benching, Robert Sรกnchez (ยฃ5.0m) feeling risky, and maybe a little bit of a rage-move thrown inโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve decided to pull the trigger on the Wildcard.

Hereโ€™s the current draft:

    Roeufs Dubravka
    Virgil Gabriel cucurella esteve Rodon
    Salah Ndiaye Reijnders Kudus Semenyo
    Isidor Haaland Guiu
    0.2m ITB

    Any thoughts on this WC team? Guiu should go and I would like an Arsenal attacker but Guiu will play when he’s back from injury and you can’t have them all. I would have waited until the IB but all my players lose value tonight so I am kind of being forced into it. This team will be set until the IB though, injuries aside, and then I will have 4 FTs to use over the IB when Liverpool’s formation is clearer which could mean I sell Salah .

      Guiu will play?

        I honestly think he will in a few games. He was brought back for a reason. Could be wrong but either way he is a cheap enabler and even if he doesn’t start, you’d expect a couple of 1 pointers from time to time. I could use the other 0.2 to get a 4.5 striker but who plays at that price?

      I'd say downgrade 1-2 defenders and improve Isidor. Guiu is not gonna be getting many minutes, mostly zero.

          I guess Chalobah or even Tosin. Cucu not getting defcon points, but will be more involved in the attack. I just don't think it's worth it to have 3 premium defenders.

        Also, Chelsea have said he will get minutes to prove himself. He will need to perform when he gets these minutes but I bet over the next few he gets some game time.

          After George's performance yesterday, I think it's more likely that he'll get minutes ahead of Guiu. He's fine as a cheap 8th attacker if you're ok with no guaranteed minutes. I think there are better midfield options for 4.5-5 who will get reliable minutes.

    Is this team ok to roll on for one more week before a WC? The * are players I feel need to go

    Kelleher
    Williams* VanDeVen Truffert
    Salah Semenyo Rogers* Gakpo* Reijnders
    Haaland Wood*

    (Dubravka Rodon Esteve Guiu*)

    Alternatively have 3FT if I need this week

    Feels like some pretty decent risk of a Porro rest and Spence and Udogie starting against Wolves
    Porro now started 10 games in the last 6 weeks, playing 90 in nearly all including in the cup tonight
    Bit annoying as Porro is the player a lot of WCers won't have!

          Everton arent that good, and West Ham arent that bad.

      Similar price route as Sanchez into CHE def, but has set piece threat and DC's ...
