      Ramsdale if no better use of the FT. I'm sticking to Sanchez, used 2FTs to bring in double Chelsea defense. WC next week.

    Here's a scenario for you folks
    I'm in a H2H league, I'm certain that my opponent can't get Lukaku & will captain Ronaldo, I own both Ronaldo and Lukaku, do I match the captaincy & hope my differential Lukaku gets me through or do I risk it & captain Lukaku?

        Solskjaer mentioned his gametime will be managed. As a Man Utd fan, I'm quite confident he won't get the full 90 minutes having played midweek too.
