    Ings -> Jiménez (-4) and bench ESR worth it? Would most likely do it next week anyway.

    Would give me this with 1.6 ITB for Toney -> Bamford next GW:
    Raya
    TAA - Shaw - Reguilón
    Salah (C) - Bruno - Traoré - Sarr
    Antonio - Jiménez - Toney

    (Sanchez, ESR, Williams, Amartey)

        His manager said that he will "play at some point in the game."

        To me, that sounds like he'll be coming off the bench at some point in the 2nd half.
