    As nice as it would be to have two free transfers for DGW29, if one of your players is injured you’ve got to be prepared to adapt and use one of your FTs right?

    Sounds obvious but rephrasing it like that is helping me rationalise! Schar news, so Estupinan to Chilwell for free, so fielding 11 or 10 if Schar out

    Seem sensible?

      Martinelli with 120 minutes yesterday and a missed penalty in the shootout.

      Screams to me he will start on the bench or be subbed at HT.

      Would want Saka, Ødegaard & Trossard over Martinelli for this GW isolated.

      But D if you must.
