    Just to settle everyone down about Raphinha…

    1) If you’re on a free hit you’ve got a playing bench, so it really doesn’t matter if he’s got Covid or not.

    2) If you’re not on a free hit, for 99%+ players you’d be taking him out for a -4pts. How likely is the player you’re going to bring in to replace him to get a return to make the transfer a net gain?? For the options available a return is less than 50% likely. So it isn’t worth doing. Plus you’re going to feel silly if Raph plays and bags.

      It will be annoying as owner, but i have double Wolves def so in that respect it will be better chance of a cs, so not the end of the world. And he will be ready for 31, which makes IT easier to just keep.
