            <p>Should you sell the injured <strong>Jeremie Frimpong</strong>? Is <strong>Cole Palmer </strong>a hold despite a disappointing opening performance? Plus who are the best replacements for <strong>Ezri Konsa</strong>?</p>

<h2>Sell Frimpong and best replacements?</h2>
<p>Arne Slot had key news in his press conference on Thursday that right-back <strong>Jeremie Frimpong (£6.0m) </strong>is ruled out until after the international break with a hamstring injury.</p>
<p>He is currently the most owned defender in the game, in 29% of teams. It's a tough next two for Liverpool against Newcastle United and Arsenal, before Burnley and Everton after the break.</p>
<p>With this in mind, it is plausible to bench Frimpong, with a view to utilising him on September 14 once again for the trip to Burnley. However, his price could plummet in this time.</p>

<p>Among the replacements, my top pick would be Chelsea's <strong>Marc Cucurella (£6.0m)</strong>, with an excellent entry point for the trip to West Ham on Friday. He then faces Fulham and Brentford.</p>
<p><strong>Rayan Ait-Nouri (£6.0m) </strong>also impressed in Gameweek 1, with two shots and one key pass in the 4-0 win against Wolves. He also picked up a bonus point in that game.</p>
<p>He will likely cause Spurs plenty of problems down the left in Gameweek 2, although it's a tricky period of fixtures for Manchester City.</p>

<h2>Bench Boost or Free Hit this week?</h2>
<p>It feels like the window for Bench Boost has been and gone, with the smart move seemingly to play the chip with Sunderland assets for their long awaited Premier League return in Gameweek 1.</p>
<p>Zero minutes for popular budget eighth attacker <strong>Marc Guiu (£4.5m) </strong>on opening weekend doesn't bode well for his prospects this time out.</p>
