    Now, I know nobody is delighted to do a RMT review, but I really really need your help. Keep coming second in my ML because of my bad starts....

    I know most people read this so don't want to be too template. What do you think to this?

    I love my midfield and keeper, not delighted with the rest....

    De gea (myhill)

    Davies, lovren, Evans, chambers (Cameron)

    Fabregas, Sanchez, Ericsson (siggy, Davis)

    Bojan, Rooney, Costa

    I'm thinking of probably playing WC in week 3 if that helps? This team gives me 0.5 itb.

    Thank you very much for any advice....

    Sorry for repost, but got no responses - A or B?

    A Jovetic and 4.5 mid (probably Wanyama)
    or
    B Bojan and Eriksen

    I have Siggy who rotates with Bojan pretty much each week, or would have to play Siggy every week but have Jovetic instead of Bojan. A also gives me an extra 1 million.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
