        HOWEVER.....

        It's still not been clarified what happens fpl-wise if it's abandoned at half-time, or when United go 0-4 down. Do we get the points earned so far, or do we get 0 and our bench jumps up? We ought to have had an explanation.

    When (not) to follow your gut?

    I have a really good feeling about Saka for this match and would love to put the armband on him. This isn't based on first two performances but more on what my instincts tell me. I think that he's gonna have more space in attacking areas because Jesus will be marked by several players. Cherries could try to isolate him from the game like they did with Haaland, keep a close eye on him and surely won't let him play his own game like Leicester did.

      Very close but I’m think salah will edge it. Don’t think about EO though when picking yours!
