      Don't think that's worth -4

      Sweet, getting the Cap correct could make huge swings

    Shaw or Chilwell? (BB this week, FH32)

    Currently leaning towards Shaw on the basis that he has one more DGW to come and is a bit more nailed than Chilwell, who could be rotated in future weeks around the Champions League matches. But Chilwell would be more exciting this week...
