    Kane or Haaland captain?

    Feels like Kane could score a few against a weak Leicester defence but then again.

    It’s Haaland, he scores everytime he touches the ball

    Emerson Palmieri - I know it depends if Moyes plays 4-3-2-1 or 3-4-1-2 (or whatever formation). But how are people feeling about him on WC? I would love to save the cash, but can easily spring for Coufal for 0.4 more.

    on WC, for next 4 GW
