    Vardy could quite easily outscore Ronaldo over the next 6 weeks imo. You also get the extra funds. I know its Ronaldo but utd have tough fixtures. What does vardy need to do to get in a wildcard team ahead of Antonio and Ronaldo whose fixtures are about to turn for the worse? Feel free to comment if you can make a case against vardy?

    Here is why Christensen is a better pick than Rudiger.

    - Thiago Silva started vs Juve, meaning Christensen will start this GW.

    - Then comes the International break, where Silva travels with Brazil, he won't start the game after the International break, meaning Christensen will.

    - Then comes the EFL cup game midweek, where a rested Silva will play.

    - So, Christensen will then go on to start his 3rd league game in a row.

    For 0.7 less, you'll get a player who won't pick up petulant yellow cards and has a much better chance of picking up bonus points.

        Yes, I don't think he's as much of a rotation risk as people suggest. However, the one downside to spreading the funds is it won't allow you to jump between bit hitting defenders.
