          Yes. I think going without Lukaku can be fatal. Without WC I'd need a hit which I don't fancy. Would need to sacrifice Brunn any case.
          WC warrants at least 5-6 changes, which I think there's enough opportunity in my team looking at run of fixtures post IB.

    Kane would be a 1 week punt against Newcastle and then I’d switch him out for Ronaldo.
