      B. Three City players is too much of a headache with Pep and what's the chances of them all returning anyway?

    Was about to save but James being out, I have 3 options.

    1. Roll the FT and just bench James for Andreas

    2. James to any defender ( not city/arsenal, 3 slots covered )

    3. James to Neco and 4.5 fodder attcker to any 10.0 or under attacker.

      I chose Trossard over him too. He shoots more, he has more pen area touches, think he might create more too but don't quote me on it. Gross scored two tap ins against a terrible United team and suddenly he's prime Salah to some.
