    Anyone else resisted the urge to go Mané/ Salah to hazard?

    I was all set on it at the start of IB after Mané poor display and hazard looking good but I've changed my mind and keeping faith the the Scouse duo.

    Hopefully my trust is repaid.

          "They are FFS co-owner Chris and both halves of the FPL Family unit, Sam and Lee.

          We are being joined for the draft by four significant others – FFS founder Mark, FPL Holly, FPL Hints supremo Ash and former champion Ben Crabtree – who will operate remotely."

          Taken from David Wardale's Draft article.

          Does this confirm Mark has sold his interest in FFS now? With not being on the FPL show either, has he more or less called time on things?

            Who like me thinks that if Firmino starts, he can haul instead of Salah and Mane ? I am thinking he is due now.

              Think all 3 will start, and Firmino has been playing well.

            Chilwell or Robertson on wildcard? Chilwell gives me money to play with but Robertson will be hard to get back.

              C’mon, really? Robertson is no. 4 in the entire league in PPM.

            Surely if Fraser and Zaha don't start then they don't come on? Based on that logic I'm starting both. Have two ready subs if necessary.
