Hi all,
FH active. This current setup will leave nothing in the bank. Also thinking of
i. Dalot or Dorgu
ii. Replacing Foden/O’Reilly
iii. Captaining Palmer/Cunha/Gordon/Foden replacement
Some fun for one GW. Cherki could be an option too. Anyone else whether on FH or not, please some advices or comments.

Some things for your consideration, Wissa is back and generally Howe does not play two up top, so maybe DCL/Thiago/Bowen for Woltemade.
Cherki is must have, probably instead of Gordon
Will you want Saka / Wirtz for Foden?
Could you consider Gabriel for Virgil?

This is my FH team for comparison.

Tidings of the season everyone. Am on a BB this GW and somehow my bench is all Leeds players
Have 3 FT after bringing in Gabriel and Dorgu. 1.3 ITB. Could take out Gudmundsson I guess?

Maybe 3.8 Heaven instead of Gudmundsson? There is a small rotation risk with Yoro and Martinez though.
Terminators
You could do Gudmundsson >Thiaw I think from the prices it would give you another option going forward as they have what should be a good run of fixtures, Newcastle should be getting a CS at Burnley even though Newcastle have their best defenders out.
The other option would be Brentford’s Lewis-Potter or Collins.
I wouldn’t want to take Stach or DCL out.

Thanks Shrivatsa!
Woltemade also seems to play 70 minutes per game, not much more. So I will consider one of those DCL/Thiago/Bowen. I still want some Newcastle cover, so in that case Gordon will stay. That would mean Foden out for Cherki, which would leave me enough money to upgrade anything needed.
Saka is great, but as Villa seems to win every game, don’t want him this GW. It’s a bit same with Gabriel. Wirtz instead is quite tempting.
Terminators
I did Estève > Dorgu before the price rise, may as well take the -4pts to consolidate a bad couple of GW’s.

Any legit news on Rice knee injury?
ODT
In the states the NY Times is reporting it and I’d say they are pretty legit. However behind a paywall so I can’t share. The Mirror UK is reporting as well but I don’t know how legit that one is. I always thought the mirror was tabloidish but probably not on this matter.

Everyone seems to think that he is out.

Rice to Szobo for a hit or is that crazy talk?
ODT
I don’t have to take a hit but I have no clue who to replace Rice with.
Phoenix619
Gordon or Cunha for -4 ?
Or trust my bench ?

Sorry. Just read it now. 100% hope you went for Cunha.
