Plenty of names (too many, tbf) shift shirts before Transfer Window ends. Brennan Johnson, Ansu Fati, Alex Iwobi and Timothy Castagne headline a group of players you need to target in the FPL draft leagues.
A few days ago I'd have said you could drop him as I expected a healthy bid from Saudi Arabia or a life-line loan from one of Turkey's big three; following the Antony revelations I don't think the club to afford to let him leave. I also don't think there is any immediate return to the XI for him; EtH - however wrong-headed this approach is with this player - simply can't afford to let this much talent rot in the reserves as the season starts to slip away. Be it suspension, injury or a return to the good graces, there has to be value in holding him now or trying to trade your 14/15th player on the roster to stash him if you're not beset with injuries elsewhere.
I can't drop him before or during the break, but if you're playing in a 10-team league or smaller there is a good reason to consider using that roster spot to add some of the better waiver wire options. I wish he had come in for Wilson before the 81' especially with the game clearly out of hand, and I think that is the best spot for him to win the starting job; Wilson was a part-time starter last term with only 13 starts against 16 substitute appearances (and missed 9 matches all together). Like some others (cough, Maupay) he has shown exceptional value and returns in the Championship but it hasn't translated at even a 75% rate in the Prem. If/when Adama wins that role, I want him in my side but patience will be thin in weeks 5-8 with Luton, Palace, Chelsea and the Blades up next with only Palace a road game.
Not currently. Wolves is the team I'm least interested in owning *any* fantasy players from outside of Pedro Neto and maybe Jose Sa now that they did not bring in any direct competition (like Sam Johnstone).
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde should have made the article, I honestly just forgot about him. He's a MID 4 with some upside because I do think he has the job there soon (if not already), but his FPL draft potential is limited and does not come with a high floor. The outrageous attacking returns in the opening handful of matches with Strasbourg this season should not be you barometer though. If he posts 2-3 goals and 2-3 assists in a full season for Wolves, everyone should be very happy. And thanks for this question, I'm adding this to the post shortly.
What do we do with Sancho? Is there a path where he finds his way in the lineup and actually contribute or is it doomed?

Great read JW. Is it worth dropping Adama yet or how long do you keep your hopes up?

Great read yet again JW. Any interest in Sinisterra or Jean-Ricner Bellegarde of Wolves?
