    A) Laca- may not start but good fixtures and can score when subbed on
    B) Rich- nailed but poor fixtures (gives me 8.9 on a mid)
    C) Dunk- nailed but poor fixtures (Can bring in any defender)

      Lacca is a worry for you though. He can score anytime, even from the bench. So may be worth keeping for good fixture

      Hard, but I would say B. My feeling says that Hazard could outscore Salah until New Year, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to ditch Salah myself...

        I have neither at the moment. Dilva replacement.
        Slightly favour Salah myself and setting for the rest of the season.
