    Keeping Aubameyang in my team and overlooking Agüero, is that mental or understandable?

      Tricky. Bailly will play 90 or 0, so it might be out of your hands even if you start him. Neves has a good fixture. Coin toss.

      I tend to wimp out and play the more expensive in this situation, which is of course not the correct method!
