      Like him and good value when he’s firing, but hasn’t shown enough yet for me this season. Can be quite a streaky player so would definitely consider him at first sign of points.

      I am very similar and went through iteration with 2 playing keepers and Robertson/Richarlison.

      Just fancy giving Sane a go if Mendy not playing

      Ederson-Button
      Alonso-AlexanderArnold-Shaw-AWB (Bennett)
      Hazard-Salah-Sane-Fraser (Hojbjerg)
      Aguero-Mitrovic (Jimenez)

      When I sold Salah for Hazard a couple of weeks ago this was the GW I feared, stick with him

      Kun because Cardiff are the worst team in the league and City will want to bounce back after midweek

      However, Aguero has scored in one game and not done anything away from home so far. Albeit in 2 games. Might go Hazard for Form
