    Pick one to start

    Patterson (home to hammers)
    Saliba (away to Brentford)
    Matheus (v city)
    Da Silva (probably benched)

    Currently on Patterson over Saliba

    Thanks

          I’d go Haaland

          Son is out of form. Obviously he “could” come back and start scoring but there are even questions over his start so I’d say Haaland is not a stupid choice at all

    As I'm going with Son, my other FT will probably be a spurs defender. So I'm not sure if I should risk having two iffy spurs picks

    With no bench who is the best defender for this week only.

    A. Perisic
    B. Royal
    C. Dier
    D. A defender from another team, who?

    Own trippier & cancelo (maxed out on city?)
