      Mata to start with certainly, although both are good options.
      Probably Sterling but with Eriksen being 0.5 cheaper if you can spend that well maybe he is better?

      Then wouldn't the same apply for defensive rotation? If a player can score against one team, they can score against basically any no matter what the circumstances. So surely this would mean that no team would necessarily have a better chance of keeping a clean sheet. So I should play both of my CPL defenders first GW against Arsenal away because their defence is better than QPR's. All this despite QPR playing Hull at home. If Hull can score against West Brom when they play at home, then surely QPR away is easy.
