I hate taking hits but will at least consider: Thiaw ➡️ Silva Joao Pedro ➡️ Jackson (-4) Silva is the move I plan to make so Jackson is the hit. JP and Jackson are going opposite ways in price tonight, and likely will again before the deadline, and more after next GW so it's hard to not consider the significant team value impact. It does depend on if I actually ever sell Joao Pedro later though if I hold, price falls on him don't matter if you end up keeping him for most of the season anyway. He's bound to come good and bounce back in price post-injury. Losses aren't realised until you sell! Particularly annoying week for the injury to happen because if it were GW10 or GW11 my bench can comfortably cope. FUL (H) is a nice buy point for Jackson as well. Think if the deadline was in 10 mins I just buy Silva and play Gross.

Joao Pedro injured for a few weeks... The international break is after GW10 which makes me tempted to just hold him, because I've only got 1 free transfer, with Thiaw ➡️Silva to do. Team looks a bit dodgy this week but copes well in GW10. Chelsea come back from the break with: LEE (H), NFO (A), CRY (H) so I think there is merit in sticking it out. There's a risk he might still be out then but that's 4 weeks away and I'd guess he's fine by then, and even then my team can cope fine in GW11 too with a strong bench. Jackson is tempting because Villa's fixtures are great all the way until GW15, and Chelsea have a great fixture swing from GW16. What's everyone's thoughts?

45 points all out 🔻 Started great, ended terrible 😆
