    Somehow still have Nunez and no Salah...

    So, looking forward to a creative Salah setting up a nice hatrick by assisting the assists for Nunez, after he's missed 3 big chances ofc, then barges into Salah, preventing a high xg chance causing a minor knock and keeping him out for a game

I've just bet against Vardy and Tielemans scoring and risked quite a bit of money. If I'd have known they were only on the bench, not missing completely then I wouldn't have made those bets, thanks.

      Mirror Man your answer mate, absolute tripe on here, and for some reason I get insulted for nothing, yet he applauded for spouting insults, he’s so sad

    Leicester team looks dreadful, although the pace of Barnes, Daka and Castagne could do some damage

      At a first glace I would bench Martinelli, Botman and potentially Cancelo. But see how this GWs games go.

          Yeah, but it's just a first though. As you say, very tricky decision.

      Any 3 of KDB, Martinelli, Saka, Botman, Trippier or Cancelo based on how you imagine their games going. Mitro also if he is booked and has only a single.
