Double Gameweek 32 comes to a head on Wednesday evening with three Premier League matches that all kick off at 19:45 BST.

Crystal Palace are the visitors to Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, while Manchester City and Chelsea host Cardiff City and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively.

The headline team news at the Etihad sees Pep Guardiola make seven changes, with Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and David Silva among the players to drop to the bench.

Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gündogan are also among the substitutes, while Nicolas Otamendi drops out of the match-day squad.

Guardiola had previously ruled Sergio Aguero out of tonight’s match, so it is no shock to see Gabriel Jesus leading the line for City.

Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez will flank the Brazilian, while there is a first Premier League start of the season for Phil Foden.

Fernandinho, John Stones and Danilo are also recalled.

Neil Warnock has made only one change, with Harry Arter being replaced in the starting XI by Joe Ralls.

Maurizio Sarri has matched Guardiola in making seven alterations.

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea starting XI following his benching at Cardiff on Sunday, while there is a full Premier League debut for Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Gonzalo Higuain makes way for Olivier Giroud, while Emerson Palmieri replaces the injured Marcos Alonso.

N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen are recalled as Willian, Pedro, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Antonio Rudiger drop out.

Chris Hughton has made four changes, the most eye-catching of which sees the fit-again Florin Andone replace Glenn Murray up front.

Solly March, Bruno and Gaetan Bong all start at the expense of Anthony Knockaert, Martin Montoya and Bernardo.

Son Heung-min returns to the Spurs starting XI, replacing Lucas Moura in the Lilywhites’ attack.

Ben Davies is preferred to Davinson Sanchez in Mauricio Pochettino’s only other change.

Roy Hodgson has brought Cheikhou Kouyate, James McArthur and Martin Kelly into his starting XI and benched Scott Dann, Max Meyer and Andros Townsend.

That means Jeffrey Schlupp will move even further upfield on the left of a front three, with Wilfried Zaha switching to the right flank.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Hazard.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong, Bissouma, Stephens, Propper, March, Andone, Jahanbakhsh.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Zinchenko, Stones, Laporte, Danilo, Fernandinho, Foden, De Bruyne, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Camarasa, Murphy, Hoilett, Niasse.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Alli, Son, Kane.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Kelly, Van Aanholt, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Zaha, Batshuayi, Schlupp.

      I'd be too worried about rotation to go for an Arsenal mid

      Is A for a hit?

      wilson has best ppm by some distance, tiel second closest and he's overperforming vs expectation to an unsustainable degree

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks, I agree Wilson is the best Fpl option but this is for a one off GW where Leicester are playing Hudds who are already relegated

    1. Alli
      • 8 Years

      Sorry I have Hazard not Son

      1. ㅤRising
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        You have no goalkeeper

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Either tbh

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      toss a coin

    4. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Tielemans

  4. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Talk to me about Watford and Wolves assets for the run-in. Would you expect the winner of their semi-final to rest/rotate for the season end, or will they keep going for it in the league and risk injury/fatigue to their main players?

    Conversely, will the loser be on the beach? Or am I overthinking this? I just remember picking Leicester and Burnley players at last season's DGW wildcard and they burned me badly as they had nothing to play for.

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I think they'll both go for a decent finish in the league. They don't have small squads tho. Wolves are light up top I guess.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks. I was surprised by both as I expected more rotation from Watford's attack especially. There are at least 3 from each team I want on my wildcard but I can't help but feel at least one of them is going to spring a few surprises for the run-in...

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          3?

          Im thinking Deeney, Foster, Jimi and Jota

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Maybe not at the same time, but I'm looking at Jota, Jimenez and Doherty from Wolves, and Deeney, Deulofeu, Foster and Doucoure from Watford. Won't be all at once because if I get Jimenez for example the other two strikers will be premium ones.

        2. mikess
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          I think Jiminez and Jota showed they can get good returns with 100 mins. I'd be happy punting on those. I don't think their defence is worthy of a punt. I think Deulofeu is a really dangerous pick particularly with Gray in form. I'd happily punt on Deeney, Doucoure and Holebas

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Cheers - yep, Holebas is another one but for all his sweet set pieces he's a negative score waiting to happen!

            1. mikess
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              Great to watch ha

            2. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              Possible rotation? I thought about him but so many nailed ones I like e.g. Trippier, Robo, Azpi

              1. mikess
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 4 days ago

                Yeah Masina. I don't think I'll go there

                1. Pierce34
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 4 days ago

                  Same.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Think both will still be fighting for a good prem finish but players such as Delu, Deeney, Jota and Jimi will likely play 70 mins in games over 90. I like Jota, Jimi and Deeney in my WC for 34 but suppose FA Cup may sway me

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      To rephrase the issue - who do you think will be more at risk of rotation/being on the beach? The loser or the winner?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Winner. But not much effect for either.

  5. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Hoping for a big score...

    Fab
    TAA VVD AWB
    Salah Haz Felipe A Fraser
    Wilson Vardy King

    Thinking FA to Mad Or Ozil. But if VVD or TAA doubts then may get in Mane and Azpi

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I wouldn't get Ozil, that Arsenal midfield is a minefield. Maddison a good pick, as is Tielemans.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Mane is tempting me as my Rival has him so would stop that hurting me. And Azpi/Luiz may match VVD or TAA

  6. EMBOLOFAN
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    if you had a ft to effectively burn for one week before wc, would you do luiz to azpi?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Surely there's a better option

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        not interested in any other transfers

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          kepa
          robbo taa luiz pereira
          salah brooks hazard maddison
          wilson vardy

          not selling 3 nonplaying subs to maintain tv as i want all 3 back on wc

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Fair enough. Brooks to Fraser would tempt me but Luiz to Azpi could be worse I guess.

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              would do it if i could afford

          2. mikess
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Thinking a bit pessimistic but it could be Luiz turn for a rest? Something to contemplate

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              yes that's what im wondering

            2. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              I think it's reasonable, not unrealistic. I wouldn't expect him to play 4 full games in 11 days. Unless he's rested in Europe of course.

              1. Pierce34
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 days ago

                *Meant to say "not pessimistic" instead of "not unrealistic" though that works too.

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Could be a good option as Christensen may play ahead of Luiz

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        thanks

  7. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Pogba > Maddi this week?

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Why not. I don't think I'll be wanting Pogba for the remainder

      1. Union_Jacks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Me neither

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      pogba > madrid more like

    3. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      or Tielsman

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Will the FA Cup finalists have another small DGW? So if City and Wolves both win then they'll have an extra dgw or nah?

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Nope

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Played after season ends

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Ta, that's late

          1. mikess
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Traditional. How it should be

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 days ago

              Yhh makes sense tbf

  9. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    116 all in and up to 20k

    Successful chip week!

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      V nice. 95 for me. Jota, Haz and Laporte my top scorers. Pogba, Hig and Boly not so. 83k to 72k and 30 gained in Rival so its a start to progress. Need to nail my TC and WC

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      i moved up 19 places. so close to grey arrow

    3. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Good stuff Wc the next big one.

      Gotta cap Laporte for one of these doublers. He smashes it and should have scored today too

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yup. His goal would've got me to 100, Etheridge played v well tbh

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Yea he’ll get snapped up

          Good performance decent keeper

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Id take him if we go up and don't get deno

  10. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Who’s the best pick from these 2?

    A. Maddo.
    B. Tielemans.

    Getting Anderson out of my team but not sure which of these to go for??

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      tiel higher ppm but small sample + not sustainable imo
      madds has been unlucky to not have more points (vardy has missed some sitters that he's assisted)

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      A

    3. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      B

  11. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Higuain captain too risky? Currently on Mane Higuain VC

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      you cannot be serious

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Way too risky. I can see another benching myself

    3. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      No way !

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Do it.

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Watch him being top scorer. Like seriously who could have thought RLC would get a haul this week

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        tbh this

      Lolorama

  12. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Will we find out if TAA or VVD doubts for Fri? May be tempted to do FA, Defender to Mane, Azpi (-4)

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Is there an issue with TAA? Van Dijk trained so I'd expect him to play.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        No idea. Just know gomez is back and he's been rotated before

        1. E25
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Can't see Gomez starting without getting some mins first.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      klopp declared vvd available

    3. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      What’s wrong with TAA?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        What's wrong with the world Mamma?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          people living like they aint got no mammas

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            'kin right.

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Hard to take that if I'd have played H-Odoi over Hig then I'd have hit 100 🙁

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      would have been a completely absurd thing to do with the information available

    2. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      It was the right decision to play Higuain, would have been insanity not to - these things just don't always work out! A bad outcome doesn't always mean a bad decision.

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Yh course

  14. Sotamendi84
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    A) boruc > kepa
    B) fanderson > madders (and risk play with no keeper)?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I have awb on the bench too

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      wc34?

      a sounds better to me

    3. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Yea wc34

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        not been following whu so unsure on fandersons status but if hes likely to start then definitely a as i dont think boruc will

  15. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    1 FT before a GW34 WC - any suggestions? 1.9 ITB

    Fabianski
    Luiz/Robertson/Digne/AWB
    Salah/Mane/Hazard/Barnes
    Rondon/Wilson

    Steele/F.Anderson/Doherty/Jimenez

    Would rather not sell Jimenez as I got him really cheap.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years

      fab to kepa

    Begovic
    Robbo TAA Digne AWB
    Salah Haz Rich
    Vardy Barnes Wilson

    Fab Westwood Pogba Bennett

    4m itb. Westwood to Tielemans? Anything else?

      think awb to azpi probably has the highest upside

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        or bennett to azpi i guess

    Boruc to Kepa (-4). Yay or nay

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      kepa expected points will be around 4-4.5 so probably not

    I'm suuuuper busy at work right now. Can someone please design my freehit team this week for me please? I'm trying to overturn a 130 point defect on my mini league leader by the end of the season and should really get started.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      All you need are Loftus Cheek, H-Odoi, Azpi, Haz and Kepa. Guessing this ain't a serious post

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      kepa
      azpi taa pereira
      hazard mane salah brooks
      auba vardy wilson

      bench: daniels, 3.8, 4.2

      this would be my team

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        If serious then this but Auba to King/Zaha/Batman, TAA to Robo, Brooks to Mane and watch the deficit fade

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          what chip do i use to pick mane twice?

          1. Tsparkes10

          Oh I'm deadly serious, thanks for the feedback so far.

          Any one else got some teams I can steal?

    Rant!

    Small decisions really proved to have a big impact on my score.
    1. Saw the Lindelof missing rumours in the first match
    2. Try to remove him and try to upgrade to Young for more attacking threat
    3. Proceed to downgrade Eriksen from my draft to Alli
    4. Proceed to downgrade Azpi from my draft to Luiz

    Bam!

    1. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Should have just made a straight swap Lindelöf for PVA and kept Eriksen and Azpi. Would have got more points that way.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Simple. Cheek over Pogba and play Cam over Sterling were where you went wrong. Appalling decisions

    3. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Altering several players due to one is always risky. It's one things I'm going to try avoid on my wc. Like for like replacements

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Looking forward to a few punts aswell. Kane is the big one for me

  21. ratchet
    • 14 Years

    Thoughts on Ozil or Miki over the next two weeks?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Ozil if you must but neither for me

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Neither are nailed. Riskiy

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      no way jose

  22. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Team for this week before WC:

    Fabianski
    TAA VVD Pereira Digne (Bennett)
    Salah Fanderson Lanzini Brooks (pogba)
    Vardy Wilson (Aguero)

    Look at that midfield!

    A) Fanderson > Maddison
    B) Pogba/Anderson > Hazard/5.5 (-4)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero, Pog to Batman/King/Rondon, Haz?

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Can do Aguero/Anderson to King/Haz

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Go for it. I've got Fraser, Wilson and King. Guarentteed atleast 1 haul then holefully

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero and Anderson > Hazard and Lacazette?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Or this if Affordable

      2. Royal5

        This

      3. EMBOLOFAN

        nice

      4. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Nice! But 0.7 short of that

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Pogba and Aguero and bench Anderson?

  23. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I did
    Pogba-> Maddison
    Rice-> Robertson

    Would you take a hit to get Vardy?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Probs

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Depends who for

    3. EMBOLOFAN

        • 13 Years

        Im at 10 because of boruc but cant take a hit on a keeper

  24. mikess
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Quite a few of last season's bargains performed well this gameweek.

    Take the Palace lads... Milivejovic, Zaha, PVA were all in and around our squads this time last year. Yet, this year, most owned alternative Palace assets. Watford's Doucoure was another great asset last year.

    Is there anything in this or is it sometimes worthwhile punting on retro pick?

    Are we guilty of overlooking these solid assets for newer, cooler options?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Zaha has picked up lately but for me been a huge let down. Went almost 20 games without a goal. Watford assest on the other hand I wish I payed more attention to.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        batshu has not set world alight but do think he has helped zaha a bit

      2. mikess
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Since 26 he seemed to gain form. Deulofeu is skewed massively by his hattrick. Doucoure has matched last season I believe now

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Well close. A few goals off but has more assists

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I went Jota over Delu so that paid off. Wish I went Deeney over Hig though which would've meant Azpi over Boly. No regrets though

    3. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Funny thing is that only Watford player i had this season was Kabasele first 3 GWS but im considering Foster and Delo on WC

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Delu is a tricky one. Prefer Deeney tbh as so many mids I like

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Deeney for sure

          1. Niho992
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Well 3spot for ATT is reserved for Jimmy who i bought for 5.5 and others two will be Kane and Auba/Laca

    4. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I went PVA because he has served me well in the past. On a free hit I'd rather take a punt on him than Schlupp regardless of what the stats say. Just feels better when one of your old favourites brings home the bacon one more time.

  25. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    To make people feel better about 50/50 calls:

    I posted this last week:

    "Depending on Rashford being fit, any feedback on this team?

    Kepa
    Laporte/Schlupp/Dunk
    Hazard/Pogba/Eriksen/Sterling
    Aguero/Jimenez/Rashford"

    Then, just before the deadline, I did Kepa, Laporte, Dunk and Eriksen to Ederson, Luiz, Lindelof and Alli - a 24 point swing, and the difference between 70k and 40k.

    They were fairly sensible, logical moves at the time, that have had a major impact on my season - I was looking at a 117 point GW with my initial team. Just because things don't have the outcome you wanted, it doesn't mean they were stupid decisions at the time!

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      think they were good moves tbh

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        just bad luck

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      No regrets. Went Hig over Jimi or Deeney but knew the risks. Jota over Delu and Laporte as my 3rd city are happy times. So a side of both :). Didn't realise top 100k was so close. I got 95 and moved from 83k to 72k

    V tempting to go light up top and big down below on wc. Bit like other things in life, bad joke. Sorry

      I'm off to bed. Gn

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I'm the opposite mate. Big up top (Kane, Auba/Aguero, Jimenez). Little down below (Dunk/Duffy, Ryan, Foster, Valery, Bennett).

  29. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Q for those who have plan to go without Salah on WC in 34. Do you have intention to bring him for GW 36 vs Huddersfield and instead who?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      been trying to figure this out

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I've had him since GWK1 but if I sell on my wildcard then I don't think he'll be back. I think Mane, Sterling, Kane and either Auba or Kun will be my big hitters and if Salah kills me then so be it.
