    Should I transfer Moura out for Rich?

    Also is it worth getting another city defender in for Mendy?

            Looking at stats most pool check games don’t have more than 1 goal per team. So I think Kane’s
            ceiling higher. Tbh I think missing out on Kane points as I’ve been thinking about this all week! That and I think richarl scores more than Ings. Don’t u love this game!
