        Reply fail. Darwin has best XG in the league, Bou have worst XGC conceded in the league. Shaw v Trip is tough, both probs get a CS, but Trips has higher XGI so probs him

    Had kept Sanchez for the last few weeks for this DGW, typically has lost his place the week before it, so, do I take him out for Steele -4 or just play Ward. Funds are limited so can’t afford any other keeper?

        True in most situations.

        However if he can get 2 extra games in a 3 gw period (if bb in gw29) then it is worth it.

    I did Ode to Salah as I think he's a decent differential should Macalister do nothing.
