    Couple things worth monitoring this week:

    Fulham's defence with Ream back
    Leicester's defence with Evans back

        I own Sterling and have done for good few weeks now but due to the rotation risk for tomorrow (Mahrez may start) may switch to Son or Rich. Osvious issue is that if he plays he can score big ... and that would be annoying.

      Mitro vs Everton - no way. I think Moura will play too and vs HUD, you have to play him. I think it's a tough decision vs Maddy and Fraser. NEW have played some v good teams and never lost by more than one. They are good defensively. Ditto Palace with Tomkins back.

      Cheers guys. Interesting. Seems like it shouldn't be the case to me, but then I guess if avoids any confusion about whether the ref intended to second yellow the player or not (though I'd have thought this would be clarified for league counts anyway). Hmmm
