    ah last second captain thoughts

    Salah Haaland or Jesus

    Had Salah last week, I think he'll make up for it but what if this is just a slump...

    Jesus as a differential....

    Haaland - Pep's comments wasnt too assuring

    Looks like Salah will have 140% EO and Haaland 130% EO or so
