    Is there any Arsenal fans? Im really considering pick Ramsey over Maddison.
    How nailed you can see him to be? Worth a punt, If it doesnt work could swaip to Richarlison.

      Tough one. Think hazard has more upside but tough to lose Mané with form he’s in. Agreed I would do prob lean towards robbo to Alonso but no other way you can get them?

    Just looking ahead and a Spurs player or two is surely a must have from GW7.

    Anyone already considering this switch? For me, Pogba or Mane to one of Son or Eriksen looks better than moving mountains to get Kane.
