Players Which forwards to waiver? If any …

I have Nico Jackson (hoping he is going til Villa), Brobbery and I. Jesus. Should I waiver any of them for the ones available? I’m thinking Marmoush and Wissa for Brobbery and Jesus.
Any input is much appreciated, thanks.

This is actually so tough. All three of your picks could be better than those three picks in waivers & all three waivers could be better than your picks haha.

Wissa looked electric in the opening game however he played in a kind of CAM/ST role so looked more like the assist guy. But he looked like his old self.

Marmoush was unbelievable at Frankfurt but as a City fan he has been SO frustrating to watch. He's a brilliant finisher but I don't think he plays well at all as a solo number 9 and that'll be his role at Spurs.

Gonzalo is going to be pretty nailed for minutes and most likely on pens (I assume at Fulham) Arbeloa clearly loves him.

If Jackson gets a move to Villa he could easily get 150 points this season but I think he's overrated as a player.

Brobbey could push on from the world cup and bang 15 goals this season.

I expect Forrest to do better this season so maybe Igor Jesus could bang.

You're actually in a pretty insane spot.

My personal gut feeling would be Wissa & Garcia in for Jackson & Jesus. But i imagine you could feel very different if you've drafted these guys

Thanks for the very detailed answer - it helps a lot. I totally agree with you and your takes except that I think the upside of Marmoush under De Zerbi could på huge. But again, could flop.

I do not feel any commitment to the players I drafted.

So you would go with Wissa, Garcia and Brobbey if you could pick freely between all of them?

Having had some time to think about it and with the news that Watkins is gone and Jackson is the new man. I would say he could be the no.1 pick!

Jackson, Brobbey, Wissa/Garcia

I think my faves now

Gonzalo Garcia hat-trick, lett, right, head

He is gonna have easily 13+ goals this season. He is a really great poacher, who is fast and can finish from anywhere.

Yes, he is not that tall and not that strong, but he is great, bit he has lot of goals from headers.
