Hi Matthew – Have you any intentions to bring in an attacking Leicester asset at some point ?
Timing! See the update I’m about to do tonight…
Great article, love the patient approach to your play. Surely interested in Leicester attackers? I’d perhaps downgrade Otamendi to a cheap defender and upgrade Wilson to Vardy.
You read my mind…
Agree with the guys, surely Leicester attackers seem attractive at the moment, namely the trio of Tielemans, Maddison and Vardy. Perez is also suddenly back as a favourite choice
I’m about to post an update tonight…
With Fernandinho serving a one match ban surely Otemendi will start in his place? I was going to transfer him out but I will hold out for another week.
Fernandinho served his suspension in the League Cup, he will be available in the league

Hi Mathew, no one seems to talking about a move for Willian this game week, given his current form is he not worth considering….?
The Chelsea attack seems to be a bit of a lottery this season, although they are all good options due to their prices. Seem to have been underpriced generally
Thanks Mathew…..
“Lampard says it’s a tough decision this weekend over who to select from Pulisic, Hudson-Odoi, Willian & Pedro, but it’s competition which means players know they have to perform. That’s all from the boss here, but there will be more on The 5th Stand soon.”
Thoughts on Otamendi to Mendy? I can just do it but would leave no money in the bank at current prices (looks like they are about to change too!!)?
Forgot to add, this is for a – 4 too…
Sorry missed this. Did you go for it?
Nice. Janmaat rotates beautifully with Lundstram …. BUT you can’t take advantage of this because you still have a 10 man team.
10 first team players and an 11th man from a pot of bench fodder players containing the likes of Dendoncker, Greenwood, Rico. These 3 make it difficult to take advantage of the Janmaat/Lundstram rotation.
Yes I agree. Think my team value contributes to this as I generally refuse to do all my transfers on a Sunday night as most seem to do these days.
