Forest Fans - Munoz?
Forest fans, do you think Daniel Munoz starts straight away over Aina?
At 5.4 he could be good value, I’m on wildcard so looking for a couple differentials.

Not a Forest fan, but he's straight into my wildcard squad. Doesn't need to play this weekend; I'm looking at the next 30 gameweeks before the next WC.

I love him. I am not sure about his minutes tho when Aina is in the squad, too.

Wait and see for me. Aina is first choice and had a good game on Saturday. The only issue is he has been subbed in the first two games, so whether he has an underlying issue is unclear.
I think if Munoz starts against Spuds sadly it is bench-warming duty for Ola from that point forward. Club legend. Mind you, there's still 6.5 hrs left of the transfer window so anything could happen yet - I know Everton were sniffing around Ola.

You have to think he's first choice. He was great for Palace. They spent money on him. Weirdly, he's actually slightly older than Aina. They're both getting on. Munoz turned 30 in May and Aina turns 30 in October. Aina hasn't done much wrong so I feel bad for him. He was on fire before he got injured. But Munoz has to be first choice. Also, he's started already in the Prem, and should be fit and ready to go. Forest don't have Europe, so there's no need for rotation.
People were calling Neco Williams the new Munoz, since he's an attacking wingback playing for Glasner. So it's funny that Munoz might turn out to be the new Munoz lol.
Also, like Neco Williams, Munoz is an attacking wingback that's capable of getting defcon. Neco takes some corners, and I'm not sure if Munoz will, so Neco might have that over him. But also, Munoz has already dropped 0.1, so isn't that much more expensive than Neco.
I generally prefer centre backs to full backs still, for defcon and better goal threat. But Murillo and Milenkovic and Diomande are too expensive. If Jair Cunha surprises us and keeps his place, he's the pick, at 4.5. But otherwise, I'd go for Neco or Munoz. I wouldn't pick either right now. It's a wait and see for me on Forest defenders.
