    Just make a call.

    If your team is out of shape by 4 or 5 players wild card.

    If not you have next week for dgw26.

      The lad clearly is fine, but given his injury record and the fact that he has had one of his best seasons thus far compared to at least the previous 2 seasons, he felt playing too many games so soon after return would put him at risk and so made the call to rest up and avoid the Europa game, smart move imo and its good for us Kane owners too.

      This and others that have been having a go at Ben Crelin should remind themselves that he does not work for any TV company nor the premier league and therefore is at their mercy, however , he has been and is an FPL legend of note for years whom always makes the effort to get information and put them together to aide us FPL managers make more informed decisions and he does it for FREE!!.
      this disrespect needs to stop, it is toxic, uneducated, distasteful and is what can discourage people like Ben, whom put in the effort to aide FPL managers for free. There is not a single FPL manager, in any manner , shape or form whom is obligated to follow Ben Crellin and others to hilt and essentially do as they advise , further Ben certainly does NOT encourage anyone to do anything, he simply produces the content and gives HIS OPINION about it, the rest is up to YOU the FPL manager to make your own decisions.
