    The Sky coverage of Ryder Cup is absolutely awful. They've been bleating on all week non stop yet they're not even showing all the shots now when there's only 4 balls in play. McGinley simply won't stop talking, didn't even notice Poulter drove it in the water on the 1st hole.

      Agreed. Too pro-Europe for me as well. I want Europe to win, but my money is down on the US, because you got to be objective about these things.

    Bottomed:

    A: Plot: Mane > Rich (gives me window to upgrade Laca to Kane in GW8 and get Salah back in for a -4 in GW9)

    B: Keep it simple: Mane to Rich (forget Kane you d1ckhead and you get Salah back in 9 or 10 for Rich/Fraser/Maddison and move Laca on)

    C: Do nothing.

    I've no value tied up in Mane so this could be a straight 2 GW move and then draft in the favourable Lpool mid when the dust settles.

    My mind is saying B but I keep thinking about A.

      If eriksen was got there'd be less chance of moura starting. And i don't think Kane relies too heavily on eriksen. So no change

        If Eriksen was playing I'd start Maddison. My concern is Spurs all over performance without him. Think they may struggle.

      I wouldn’t.
      Eriksen out is bad for Kane in 2 ways.
      1) Eriksen is a very good and creative players that can find Kane with his excellent passes.
      2) Better chance of Moura starting, which looks like hindering Kane’s goal threat.

      I think Kane will continue to play deep as he did in the first weeks of this season.

      Aguero also has better odds of scoring according to bookies
