        Captain Kun. 3. Don't waste a transfer on Wally if you're going to switch to Rich next week anyway.

        That midfield is a minefield. Personally I would still consider WC, despite missing all the price rises and drops.

        With regard to the new found optimism for Salah(C):
        Lads, I hate to inform you but Alli & Lloris out doesn't really make much difference in my book. Vorm is more than capable and Eriksen might play in a more advanced role which could make Spurs a more effective unit imo.

          But what you are missing is that Spurs play with a real high line. This is effective because Lloris is such a good sweeper keeper. Vorm isnt that type of GK - so do they change the way they play or do the expect Vorm to sweep like Lloris?

          Means balls in behind have more chance to be pounced on by salah and co

                Yeah you def have a point, he is the captain and it could have an effect I guess. I guess what I was trying to say was captaining a LIV player v a good solid team seems a bit off when you have Aguero, Hazard, etc. v weak opposition! GL for the GW mate!!

          All three are great but Rick and Morty has to be top.

          Really looking forward to watching the next series of Bojack later... Horseman obviously.
