      Free hit always feels like a bit of a punt as there is a lot of variance in a single week. I mainly played it to carry all my Liverpool, Chelsea, City players to the other side, so not too worried how big the score is.

      Reguillon - Jonny - Ait Nouri
      Son - Saka - Martinelli - Barnes
      Kane (C) - Lacazette - Iheanacho

    Last minute switched RAN to start over Jonny. Hasn't been subbed on much. Leeds leaky that side. Reguilon over Kulu is risky, but a flank weakness again. Think I'll regret not going Maddison but hopefully Nacho offsets it.
