      Richarlison is one of the most nailed players around, given how much Silva values him. Definitely the Lacazette transfer, I'm looking at the same too (unless I get Hazard for Lacazette in a formation switch).

        I know. A ridiculous notion.

        I just realised that I could get Hazard and Aubamayeng in alongside Sterling and Kane.

        Folly to do it, although I think the maths may work out close after the game week. It could pay off but it is a long shot.

            Reality.

            Hazard has had 4 double digit scores so far this season.

            His last double digit score was GW8.

            He hasn’t collected a single BAP since GW8 either.

            Fun Fact: Alonso actually has the same number of double digit scores and more BAPs than Haz.

            I like Haz but he’s frustratingly inconsistent in his scores.

      Yes Laca!

      Now the small matter of whether or not you play the second half will prove to be a massive deciding factor for the rest of my season. Please don't force me to sell you.

        It certainly never lives to the expectation

        Usually a very dull and boring game of late
