    On wildcard would it be better having Hojberg instead of billing so that I have that extra 0.1 for Maddison to richarlison or just leave as is, happy with the team itself and will rotat between Salah, Hazard and Aguero for captain

    I feel refreshed after the international break.

    It’s good to see that Robertson is no longer “essential” as I stated three weeks ago and had a torrent of abuse. Pretty cool to not get carried away imo.

        However I’m holding him for a couple more weeks at least. His game next week looks good and Spurs are hardly decent.
