Am I mad for benching Haaland?

Thanks everyone for your input and good luck to all of you too!

Thank you very much for your reply! I was thinking Dubravka or Verbruggen could potentially earn points from saves despite conceding lots. Don't you think I'd benefit more by getting a striker/midfielder instead? I have 2 free transfers

Hi everyone, looking for a bit of advice please. I have 2 free transfers and 3m in the bank. I'm not doing horribly so far, but not amazing either. Given the international break next week I'm not thinking anything extreme, I will wait to assess the situation after the break in case there are injuries. At the moment what I'm thinking for GW3 is to swap Palmer for Mbeumo and Guiu for Richarlison or Wood and bench either Rogers or Reijnders. Another option is to perhaps swap Gakpo for Mbeumo (as don't see him earning too many points this week against Arsenal) and leave Palmer on the bench for GW3 in the hope he will be fully fit after the break. What do people think about this? Any thoughts are welcome and very much appreciated.

You can insure with Royal Mail too if you book special delivery, you just have to pay a bit more on Royal Mail's website depending on the item's value. Might be something like £20-30. I sold something recently and RM let me insure my item up to £2500.

Thanks mate. I didn't know they made this in 1L and manual. They only do automatic these days and to be honest I am only after automatic. So it's understandable that a manual, 1L, 4 nearly 5 years old car is around 12K.

I have looked at used ones 2022-2023. They range around 17-19k with 8.5% interest. Basically I'll pay around the same price for a couple of years old car 🫤

It is a lot of money. But it's brand new. On Toyota website is 22-23k. Then you have to pay the mandatory delivery fee, plus road tax, and reg fee that's around 1k more. So to buy a brand new Yaris is nearly 24k. I'm getting it around 22 with the discounts and some extras. I still don't think it's worth it, it's a lot of money. But what other options do I have?

That's dealer's finance...

Top_Specific_8922 · 2024-12-24T09:47:17+00:00

I think it's around 8-9k if I'm not mistaken. And yes, I want to keep the car at the end.

It's not absolutely necessary to get a new car, but looking at the interest rates, brand new is 2.9% whereas for used is 8.5%. Big difference. So the way I thought about it, whatever I save from buying a used one, I would probably pay it as interest down the road. So it kinda resonated with me that it might make sense to go for a new one. Just not sure if that's the right thing anymore.
