    Sure lots are in the same boat, but it comes down to:

    (a) Haaland & Kulu
    (b) Kane & £8m MC mid

    If (b), Foden or Mahrez

    Going slightly different, no Salah:

    Ward (Iverson)
    Trent, Dalot, Walker, James (N. Williams)
    Son (C), Sterling, Rashford, L Diaz (Andreas)
    Haaland, Jesus (Archer)

    Risky, but hopefully pays off

      It's only a game...what could possibly go wrong...

      Ward (Iverson)
      TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic (Lamptey)
      Salah, Bailey, Martinelli, Aaronson (Andreas)
      Haaland, Kane (Archer)

      Once I finally decided to let go of Jesus (who has been in my team every day until this last hour) it all fell into place...all my stressing over Kane vs Haaland and which 8m midfielders to pick have been resolved! 🙂

      G2G or should I go back to being sensible?
