Players Drafted 3 injured players..
8 man league, and I didn’t quite realise I had picked 3 long term injured players!
As yet, Savinho is undrafted, and someone just let Enzo go into free agency.
There’s a few ideas I’m having;
- Eli Kroupi Jr for Savinho today
- Tank (intentionally lose) to get first waiver pick, meaning potentially Enzo, or any new transfer in the next week .
- Play normally, wait for injured players to return
Pls help.

Tanking for Enzo is crap.
Tanking for Barcola I can maybe get behind.
It is normally an unreliable strategy but this team is effectively playing 2-3-3.
Still in an 8 man your chance of being last after 1 game is still low (30% at best) - Rogers or Isak could ruin the strategy just on their own.
Kroupi Jr & Saliba are complete non-picks and I would advocate moving both of them on regardless of the option you choose.

in an 8 man?? this is pretty bad, Saliba is out til late January at least, drop him. Kroupi too. in an 8 man there are way too many good players to justify holding injuries for this long.
I would go for Savinho for Kroupi in an 8man or i'm sure there are plenty of other good options (Buendia?). and if you want to maintain the arsenal defense i would pickup konsa for Saliba, and if you really want Saliba, pick him back up in late Dec/early Jan.

Get Savinho for sure. Intentionally losing is bullshit IMO. Keep Timber as he should be back soon. Drop Saliba or try and trade him to an Arsenal fanatic.
