      Think Doherty. The Wolves defence has been great at conceding few big chances (so far). Doherty also passes the eye test for attacking, as a defender. I have both players you mentioned. They are super value for money.

    Fraser/Wilson (CRY)
    Schurrle/Mitrovic (Eve)

    Other front 4 are Salah (Che), Haz(LIV), Aguero(BRI) and Richarlison(FUL), but surely one the above 4 are to bench?

        Superior fixtures and good form from Richarlison. It's all about knowing when more points can be got elsewhere isn't it, and often that involves groups of players, sometimes in form. It's why my head is hurting though. I get the weirdness of it

    Morning all. Currently have no Arsenal, Everton or Leicester players. Have Fraser and Mane.

    Thinking for 2GW until a WC, Salah and Wilson out for:

    A) Richarlison and Lacazette
    B) Richarlison and Vardy

    For -4. B has better stats, A has Arsenal projected 3-0 whereas Leicester is projected 2-1.

    Thoughts are very much appreciated! Thanks!
