      He played twice for Belgium. That's about as good as I can muster up re: reasons not to Ha(z)ard a captaincy.

      That said, I'll probably go with Sergio.

      Think him and Kun will both score. Only thing edging me towards Hazard is extra goal point and cs point. Also a baps magnet so if he scores he’ll get at least 2/3

    Good Luck everyone in GW5. Wishing you all the points you would like.

    Team locked & loaded. Actually as planned on wildcard three weeks ago but here goes. 12hrs 15mins until Match of the Day. All apps closed & devices going off now.

    ??? Am I ready for the challenge and disappointment that follows by 11.45pm ???

    Here goes... ( I give myself less than 2hrs tbh - but I will try as hard as poss - all my XI players will have played by 5pm)!

    Not tried this since Etherington and Downing were in my team.

    Good luck all 🙂

    Currently trying to pick between mkhi, AWB or Bennett to play last spot. Worried about mkhi being benched again.
    Other option is swap mkhi for Pedro (but already have haz) and would rather get rich next week.
