    Now that Dembele is out is it worth changing the captaincy from Kane to Erikson?

      I don't follow your logic

    Play two of these, Who?

    McAuley (SWA)
    Daniels (LEI)
    Holebas (mci)
    AMAT (wba)

      McAuley definitely.
      Probably Daniels as second option given his attacking threat. Doubt any of the last 3 will keep a cleanie.
