      Don't have him currently and to get him it would mean getting rid of either KDB, Bruno or Son, and I don't want to get rid of any of them.

          Neto is decent but has horrible fixtures. Gross has reasonable fixtures but you’re 0.2 short and he does rely on set plays. I still think Raphinha is the best of the bunch, despite meaning a Leeds triple up.

            Currently leaning towards Son, would rather be stuck with him long term than the others in case anything goes awry before next GW. Just not sure how he'll perform against Palace with limited space in behind.

        Thursday: LOL @ Salah owners

        Friday: Salah owners worried, non-Salah owners swayed away.

        Gameday: Salah starts. Mass panic ensues. Smug Salah(c) owners; Salah owners non-cap worried; non-salah owners petrified.

        Salah plays 90min and gets 2 points.

        Would be so typical of Salah and FPL in general.

            If no hit then yeah has to be Bruno or kdb, I was considering the same for -4 but going to swerve it now with salah not nailed for 90 mins like Kdb and Bruno

              GW12: Bruno >> Salah
              GW13: Foden Son >> Soucek Bruno

              Thoughts??

        Start cresswell or konsa ? Cresswell has created more chances in the league than any defender but can’t see them keeping a clean sheet and I own bam/Dallas

        On the other hand konsa plays wolves with no striker
